to break the sad news to EN-
malina. "This Is the last hop
wen hop together for . long
time, Sweet One"
'tFor vthyf" Emmalina raised her
big baby-blue eyes in CONSERVATION.
This amt no Lenten season, you

"Just the same, a man can't eat.
much less dance, without job, yet.
I am already thinking to pack"
Emmalina's pretty dimples turned
inside out.
"But Percival, you wouldn't leave
me. You, my detectif loverl"
That's just where l get rubbed,
my Sweet. You sure hit your head
ON a nail. A detectif and not one
dumsoozled thing to detec' about. Z"
Emmalina felt her heart would
break
'You could speak to Ponpa, al
ready"
yeah, you say that. But a
cheese-maker knows not about the
art of detectifs."
The trouble was, Pugh had set his
heart on becoming a sleuth. But
circumstances were against him
when he was appointed temporary
freight agent IN Katinka Dell.
Little ever happens in the Dell ex-
cept one train a day, and occasion
ally a minor romance.
To top it off, at the first dance
Percival had fallen In love with
pretty, plump Emmalina Googen-
schnozel; and she had fallen just
as disastrously for him. But Poppa
Googenschnozel set his number 10
down sternly.
"You must wait, little one," he
told her. II have not thing
against young Pugh, but he goes
out of a job so quick as Van Peip
comes back Then what? And you
so fine a appetite, yet"
But Poppa. Percy is almost a
great detectif.'
A woefn pout swallowed Emma
lina's merry dinples.
"Yah-so? Well, wait until he asks
you," Poppa advised, seeming to
relent.
So peace was restored until the
freight job drew to a close.
No other job came to poor Pugh.
Counting his dwindling assets, he
knew he must rustic employment
elsewhere.
Meanwhile, Poppa worried over
his only child.
At last he sought Momma's com-
Gil. Then suddenly Poppa's coun-
tenance cleared.
Nov / got it, Momma," he
beamed. "You go laugh and make
dinner ready"
He found Pugh and Emmalina
hammock-spooning in the grape ar
Dor.
He waited, listening.
eff you love me, PercivaE"
"You know that, Sweet! But to-
I gether we must face six months
apart. Then back am /, first class
dick"
Right then Poppa would have tip
toed away, but for Emmalina's next
words:

'What thing, Sweetie?" Pugh's
voice broke.
you know, that thing, like the
earth to an apple, and the tide to
the moon. That magnet"
Magnet! My Dumping, you sure
got it. To prove it"
Enough Poppa cried from the
door "To you give yes-hold off"
he commanded as Pugh threw his
arms around Emmalina.
wait! only l give yes when
Pugh is partner in my cheese
factory"
Percivars arms dropped. His
nose tilted.
"Mr. Googenschnozel, if not ira
dition to defend, at least pride
Pugh's got!''
Emmalina, deprived Of his ca
resses, glared, Cheese! Such for q
| job, Poppa, to gif to my big de-
tectif!"
NO cried Pugh. my nose was
not born for such as cheese odors.
Limberger! U-ugh!"
Momma Googenschnozel was on
her fourth cup of Ladies Aid Java
when the alarm sounded.
Emmalina-missing!
At last Poppa faced Percival
Pugh. Young man, did you al
ready steal mine dsrling?"
Zach, how can you think so wick
ed?" Pugh moaned.
Then" Poppa proclaimed, cit il

''The key, please, mister" a fac
tory hand interrupted. The key
for the warehouse / cannot find"
Poppa fumbled through his peck
cts.
The key-the key" then exas-
perated, he pushed the lad. Away

in the shed Co. Then TO Pugh
