camouflage confers protection on
creatures too weak to- resist
their stronger and more agile
superiors, what may be inferred
with regard to those others that
by no stretch of the imagination
are inconspicuous? After climb
mating those instances wherein
inedibility, unusual prolificaey
agility and kindred conditions
may be factors. there still remain
numerous examples Of species
that thrive without the hues and
patterns that seem To be the safe
guards of the majority.
Briefly. although camouflage
among animals is a considerable
mystery, some related facts are
known from which we have de
rived a broad hint particularly
in reference to those violent
colors and pronounced patterns
identifying creatures that now
do not seemingly find these use
full These facts indicate that the
color markings of many present
day marine animals exist solely
as the result OF heredity: the
markings were handed down by
ancestors who, living under diff
ferent conditions, or in a differ
ent environment. found them
directly beneficial 70 themselves.

 Denny couldn't have had time to use any of that laundry because he was back at the cottage in no time. There were lines around his eyes and his lips were set in a straight slit. His hand shook when he light- ed his cigaret and after a couple of quick putfs he gave 1t up.
 He insisted l tell him everything about that nocturnal visit and even though I did rather well with the humorous touches he refused to so much as smile. Instead he came over and put his hands on my shoulders.

CHAPTER XVI

It was a long night. Maudie and F managed to give each other enough courage to go back to bed But first we searched the house tried the windows and doors, and locked everything securely after looking at our few valuables. Nothing had been disturbed With the whole place blazing with light kt seemed hard to believe anyone had been in 1t.
 Remembering the haggard, drawn look on Maudie's face when she came in after finding Miss Millie, l hated to scare her again. And so l finally suggested that my nerves weren't any too good these days and ! probably had imagined things.
 The next morning 1t seemed more preposterous. I got up, though, brave in the bright light of day. A biood-curdling scream from Maudie took me dashing to her room in q ccld sweat of fear.
 She wasn't to be seen, but large, heaving mass under the blankets showed where she was. McCool stood on the bed, proudly wagging has tail. Maudie, at my insistence, poked her head out and ordered me to take him away. But when I moved forward he growled and rolled his wicked, little beady eyes ct me.
 whats the matter with the little peast?"
 Get him out of here--hes caught . rat--"
 It wasn't a rat, but mouse, one of ths many that kept us company in the cottage. McCool was justly proud of his kill. Maudie wasn't proud of him. After he stalked out to the back yard, she confessed she didn't enjoy the treat he'd tried to show her.
 TT woke up when he jumped on the bed" she said, still making mouth of distaste. "He came right up to my face. Why, I felt his whiskers, and when l looked up there he was with mouse wig gling in his mouth. Obviously, she said, feeling gingerly around the floor with bare foot for her slippers, i've need 8 man in the house. No such excitement oc- rurred while Denny was here"
 She put on her glasses and looked over the tops at me. "The boy was here 6 week."

 T hope you aren't slipping. You aren't fooling me you know. can read your face, and you still care for him. All can say is that you didn't seem to do much about 1t while he was here"
