and swim and run. And he tried to
hope, but this was even harder work
than running and swimming.
At last what he feared happened.
With a splash BoWser landed IN the
ditch once more. Luckily for Jerry,
the ditch was narrow and Bowser
couldn't move freely. 1t was plenty
big enough for Jerry and he had
no difficulty in running, but with
Bowser it was different. He splashed
through the water and mud after
Jerry, barking, swapping as his heels
and growing, just missing him. But

dander up and that presently he
would be down in that ditch again
after him. And he didn't need to
be told that next time he would not
be able to bluff BoWser. Bowser
would not turn tail again.
So Jerry did his best to reach the
Smiling Pool before Bowser should
try again to catch him. But the
Smiling Pool was long way of and
the angry note in Bowser's voice
grew deeper. How Jerry did wish
that he could find a hole in the bank
of that ditch in which he could
hide! But there were no holes and all

ly to happen. At first Bowser had
been startled by Jerrys sudden at
tack and for the time being actually
had been afraid of Jerry. But little
by little it became clear to him how
absurd it was for a great big fellow
such as he was to be afraid of a
little fellow like Jerry Muskrat. The
thought that he had been afraid
started his anger. The more he
thought of it the angrier he became.
He really was angry with himself,
though he didn't know it. He thought
he was angry with Jerry Muskrat.

You will find that people are that
way very often.

Jerry, hurrying along in that
drainage ditch as fast as ever ne
could, heard new note creep into
Bowser's voice as he barked from the
bank above, a note that made him
hurry a little faster, though he had
thought he was hurrying as fast
as he could. At first Bowser's bark
ing had been excitement and nothing
else. Now it was turning from ex-
citement to anger. In fact it was
almost all anger. Jerry didn't need
to be told that Bowser had got his

of working she saw that they were about full.
 When she had started back irl- side a third time, she paused briefly to survey the landscape. Juarez and Fl Paso were reason ably distinct in the haze of dis tance. Juarez, five miles away. seemed almost isolated so barren was the land around it.
 Mount Franklin beyond Fl Paso, with its white letter M put near the top by the Texas School of Mines, was visible to her. The letter, she knew, was the schools pride, whitewashed twice a year by freshmen, a really huge letter when one was close to it but just {! barely legible now. Still, if one had field glasses, it would be vis- ible for many more miles in the thin western air.
 She was thinking about this when she returned for more rinsed clothes. She noticed too that the other women, the regular servants, eyed her with constant interest. She was so unlike them. She tried to smile in comradeship but felt that it wasn't very well done. They were too far apart in back grounds, and anyway she was too distraught about her own situa- tion now. She, Betty Mray Jor- dan, trying to play at being de- tective just because she had been in the Washington office of a gov- ernment police force! Well, her act had ben all too genuine, the characters all too real. She was in a spot now, and no fooling! l She thoroughly wished she could yell for help from Hope Kildare and Sheridan Starr. Es- pecially big, handsome Sherry! Goodness, he would go through anything for her, she just knew! She had felt growing admiration for the big officer, who was some- how quieter and deeper than his friend Hope.
 She sighed. Outside, with an- other basket of wet clothes, she paused once more to look longingly eastward, at the white mountain letter M.
 My goodness-say!' she breathed the exclamation, half aloud. Sud- denly an idea, a perfect brilliant idea if it would only work, had come to her.

} STAMP NEWS

0NE of the most beautiful sets V of stamps in the current del- uge of foreign issues is the Dan- zig semi-postal with a nautical theme. There are five values and each pictures an important ship in the Free City from a racing yacht to the largest ocean liner.
 The lowest value, showing the racing yacht Peter Won Danzig, dark blue green, is shown above.
 Interesting values from the Vatican are the overprints used during the interval between the death of Plus XII and the selec- tion of Plus XII. These are the first seven of the original Vatican set and carry the overprint "Sede Vacante," or "empty throne" Stamps to commemorate the ele- vation of the new pontiff are ex- pected shortly.
 Needing the complaints of phi latelists over the country that careless cancellation ruins a great many stamps suitable for collec- tions, Ramsey S. Black. third as- sistant postmaster general, has is- sued an order directing postal em- ployes henceforth to, use special care in canceling. He warns em- ployes to be specially lon the alert for letters and parcels bear ing commemorative and other stamps of obvious philatelic value."
 The Post Office Department ex- poets that regular transatlantic mail service will be launched in May. The postage rate will likely be 25 cents per half ounce. al- though this has not been deter mined.
 Denmark has issued a single poster stamp to honor the New York Worlds Fair. It bears strik- ing resemblance to the forthcom- ing U. S. fair commemorative, ex- cept that it depicts Viking war rior ship along with the fairs modernistic globe and cone.

CHAPTER XXI

Betty Mary was almost crazed with fear when Luis Barro discover ed her as a detective in his home.
 She soon perceived, however. that she was in no physical danger at the moment, but she knew she had failed at the biggest job she had undertaken. Her failure not only had endangered her life, but had prevented her from tipping of the officers sine had been so determined to serve, now that she finally had precious information for them.
 She offered no protest as Barro's two men escorted her to the ranch kitchens. In charge there was a . huge cook, naked to his belt, sweating from his labors which in- cluded bossing six helpers.
 This one is to work here or in the laundry" one of the guards told the cook, in Spanish. Don Luis says she Is to be watched carefully"
 "Get her out of my sight!'' growled the cook. scarcely seeing her. Too many l have now. Manana, perhaps"
 Betty Mary therefore was taken to . long two-roomed laundry at the rear of the house. Mexican women were at work there. The two men escorted the American girl through the door, spoke a few words to a middle-aged woman and departed. Betty Mary looked around her, wide eyed; she could feel her chin trembling now, she who never had nerves" The middle-aged woman came and stood before her, staring rath- CT rudely but not insolently.
 You are not used to work" the woman declared. Why has he sent you here? Are you not estranjero also?"
 "No!" Betty Mary looked plead- ingly at her. No I am not an alien. I am an American! He this is a mistake!"
 You are American citizen? It is kidnap then-that Luis will end in jail yet! Or dead! You have mem"
 "What?"
 You have men somewhere.
