called into the Office and get their orders
They are to spend all morning in the White
fields section, which is stretch Of desolate
country twenty miles outside the city limits,
and are to keep their eyes peeled for any sus-
picious characters Why there should be any
not guess, because it is just hundreds of
acres of sand lots and swampland without a
house on it and hardly tree.
What goes on this afternoon at White
fields" explains the inspector, rs mighty
important and strictly hush hush. There is
certain guy and he invents certain Some
thing" - the inspector says it with capital
s. they are going to test that Some
thing this afternoon"
There will be important people there to
see the test" adds the lieutenant. In fact,
there may be certain Someone making
quick trip from Washington - inoognito."
IF there has been leak on this, says the
inspector, there may be some guys nosying
around to see what this Something is and
how it works. and these guys would not be
loyal citizens of the United States. That is
why they are testing this Something here in
stead of at regular proving ground. We
will have plenty of cops on hand for the test.
but you boys are to take preliminary look
around"
"A CAR takes them out to Whitefelds and
they scatter. 1t is about the dullest morning
Dan ever puts in. He doesn't see soul, and
'Whitefelds is dreary stretch of land, hot
under the morning sum- About noon, he makes
for the shade of tall maple tree which is
about the only shade in sight He comes up
mopping his brow and fumbling for his pipe
- and then he sees the little blonde kid.
She is some farmers little kid, maybe ten
years old, straw-blonde and tiny and she is
sitting at the foot of the tree crying her eyes
out. She is sohbing so hard she doesn't know
Dan is there until he bends over and pulls
her curls. Cheer up, Blonde, he says. IF
you are lost will set you straight. The state
road is only quarter Of mile away, though
you would think this dump is in the middle of
nowhere"
: She looks up and blubbers, I'm not lost
was taking shortcut home She mops
her eyes with her dress It's my Bopsy."
Il do not see any Bopsy," says Dan.
The kid points straight up into the tree.
"Bopsys up there" she says.
Sure enough, there is kitten about the
size Of dolls muff way up on branch half
way to the top. Dan groans and gives quick
look around. He's in luck 50 far - the nearest
cop is hundred yards away and isn't paying
any attention. II got to be going, Blondie,"

get down without being seen. That means he
will have to explain; before night the word
will spread all over town Pussy McCorry
does it again!
He flattens up against the trunk of the tree
and doesn't move. Behind four carloads of
local cops comes two cars full of army men,
and behind these car filled with out-of- town
plain clothes dicks. Then comes long open
car that looks official and Dan gets glimpse
of the Someone from Washington.
Drawing up in back are two army trucks.
One is filled with soldiers and the other has
the certain Something, which is the size of a
trunk and is bedded down under canvas.
! HE cops spread out all over the place,
and the generals and colonies pile out of their
car right underneath Dams tree. The trucks
pull off about fifty yards; everyone gathers
round and all look very mysterious.
There is nothing Dan can do now, 50 he
straddles limb comfortably and watches
what goes on. One of the generals starts
making speech that Dan can't hear because
the general keeps his voice real low. Then he
blows a whistle and the soldiers stand ready
around the truck that has the Something
under canvas.
Dan is now 50 interested he forgets all
about cats. The whistle blows again. The
soldiers jump on the truck and tear away the
canvas. What they uncover isn't 50 much -
from where Dan sits it looks like odd pieces
of SCRAP iron and steel Junk
Then the soldiers fall to. They pull that
junk to pieces and put it together again with
as nice piece of teamwork and timing as
Dan has ever seen. In less than one minute
the Something begins to take shape Before
Dan realizes what is happening. it turns into
a sleek three-inch field piece mounted on
wheels and ready for business
There is an excited buzz of talk from the
generals, and they stand around that gun
and has just romped home in the Derby.
Then the whistle blows again; the soldiers
take running leap at the gun and pull it to
bits and pack it up. Then, just to show how
easy it is, they put it together again. This
time they swing it around and raise it and
lower it. Dan hopes he is going to see it work.
and sure enough the very next moment the
general sings out, 'Load!'
Dan is terribly excited. He is at the world
premiere of gun that may help make his
tory! He is sure getting a kick out of it even
if he is up in the balcony. "Aim!' barks the
general. Take the top off that maple!"
Dan grins. He looks around for the poor
maple that is going to have its head chopped
off. He can't see it anywhere, 50 he peeps
Evening star., 1942-01-11

Dan says. Your Bopsy will come down by
himself"
He will not! A mean old dog chased him
and he's scared. Oh, what will do?"
Send for the fire department" says Dan.
Hell die of fright before they get here"
sobs the infant, and starts crying some more.
Dan looks at her, thinking it is tough the way
kids have such bad times with their Bopsys.
This is where he makes his big mistake,
because before he can get moving the kid lets
him have it. Won't you please save Bopsy
for me, mster?" she says.
Dan knows if he is caught saving another
cat he will carry that Pussy" handle to his
grave. So he shakes his head. Il will find
someone to save him, Blonde. got sort of an
allergy for cats myself"
Does that mean you don't like them?"
Not in trees" says Dan.
you would like Bopsy," says the kid, If
you climbed up and saw how cute he is.
Blonde" says Dan, its hard for you to
understand, but if there is another cat in my
life am marked man. III take you to the
movies on my day off, or play hopsootch with
you. But count me out in this Bopsy business.
Get the fire department"
Her eyes flash. You're mean and hate
you! You're probably criminal. Oh, wish
could find policeman" And she cries hard
er than ever.
1t is more than Dan can take The tree
looks like an easy one to climb He figures he
can make it up and down again in ten min
utes Blonde" he says, If l save your
Bopsy, will you tell anyone?"
IF you save Bopsy you will be hero, and
III tell everybody. III write letters about you
to all the newspapers"
stop it," cries Dan. Gross your heart
you won't breathe word!
The kid crosses her heart and Dan strips
off his coat. He gets through the lower limbs
and keeps climbing until he sees this ball of
fur only four feet above him. But the way
Dan looks at Bopsy does something to that
cat Bopsy does running broad jump and
lands on lower branch. The next second he
is on the ground the kid is gathering him
up in her arms and screaming with Joy.
Dan sighs with relief. Nov sc1am, Blon-
die. NUNS the word or I'm ruined man,
She laughs and kisses her hands to him.
"I1l give Bopsy big hug for you!" she calls
back, and off she skips
Dan starts to come down. But before he
can move he spots them. His blood runs cold
He's too late. He's trapped! A parade of cars
and motorcycles is coming across the sand
lots toward him at top speed. The motorcycle
cops are his buddies from downtown he
can recognize the inspectors car. He cannot

The loss of KuZma forces Crisler
10 forget about countless plays on
which he had been drilling the
varsity during the past two weeks.
Ever since the Great Lakes
game was scheduled,
sports writers throughout the ma
ton pointed to the great duel that
Smith and Kuzma would put on.
This was TO be a special test for
the big Wolverine junior, because
a fine performance Saturday would
boost his chances of making ALI
American considerably
IT'S TOUGHER
Can't. George Geithsml spoke
the sentiments OF his team when
he said:
1--WE are really in n tough spot
now. But this IN a good ball
club and we can come through.
Losing Kuzma only makes IL
tougher"
Robinson. a 155-pounder with
worlds OF speed and plenty oil
kicking and passing ability, today
carries a heavy burden. He will
be in the backfield with Paul
White. Bob Wiese and Captain
Geithaml.
Weise will be the only sopho-
more in Michigan's starting eleven.
During the past week he has
shown great Improvement in spin

only other sophomore Crisler has
ever picked 10 start a game are
