S HERIFP BROOKS, “Big George” to most puople, felt his way down the steep stairs to that part of the Kames County jail known as the “Room-of- Less-Expense.” This was a small basement cell- block, 20 feet square; both sound and light proof. In it were two strong cells, & long wood- en table, two chairs, some old blankets very dirty—and one “Shrimp” Shroop. And little Shrimp. was as small as Big George was ““Well?” Brooks growled, throwing open the heavily barred cell-block door. “Well, what?” Shrimp returned. “Would you be well if you had been livin' in dis filthy hole in the ground fer three weeks on nothin’ but bread an’ water? With no terbacker, even. No one tuh talk tuh. Nuthin’ tuh do; nuthin' tuh read. A swell guy, you are, sheriff! " “That's all your own fault, fellow. Open up and tell me who your part- ner was in this attempted burglary and you'll start eating and smoking again. And you won't until then. I have made tougher birds than you tell me lots of nice secrets—right down here in this room—and you are going to come across with your pal's name and address. You know ’'im. He's as guilty as you are, and I want him, too.” “Wantin’ an’ gettin’ is two different woirds, sheriff. Think that over.” “You'll tell me—and the sooner you do the easier it will be for you. I'm_getting cussed tired of fooling around with you—jyou little shrimp.” * Xk * x {“NJE TELL on me own buddy?| You're crazy, big boy! Besides, ! we didn't steal nuthin’. Jus' started | tuh crash intuh dis joint when you| slobbered by an’ mailed me. Me pal | lammed. My bad luck; his good luck. You've got me cold-cocked, I guess, but you ain't got him.” “I'll get him though, and through | you. Come clean or I'll knock your ears off!” “Wait, Brooks, I'm no lousy rat; 1o stool pigeon. I'm no dirty stinkin’- rotten long-tailed cheese-eater.

Won't tell me who this other crook was™ | “Not without better reasons than you've given me yet. When I tell | you—=" “I'll give you better reasons, right now!” Brooks snarled—and piled on. “Now—who was your partner?” Big George demanded, several minutes later, standing over the bloody little prisoner—one huge fist drawn back and fully cocked. “When I tell you you'll know ft!” Shrimp sneered, and Brooks replied: “You'll tell—or else! When my fists wear out I'll get some gas pipe; — * ok k% "“IH'IN I tell you—" Shrimp be- gan again and Brooks picked Shrimp up and drop-kicked him into & far corner. “You'll tell, eventually, I think!” he barked. “You just wait till I do, you—" “I'll give you better reasons.” “Dead men can't talk, or I'd kill Nature’s you another. And then each day one, goes—and the fol- lowing night Sher- it Brooks again unlocked that cell- { block door and shoved “Husky” nk Hall into me room with little Shroop. “Get in there with your rat part- ner,” Brooks ordered Hall. Then, to Shrimp: “Here's Hall—you dirty, lousy little stool pigeon. You—what is it?—long-talled cheese-eater!"” “I'll go in gladly,” ‘Hall said to Brooks. Then he turned on Shrimp Shroop. “Whatta fine bum you turned out to be!” Whereupon the unlucky little prisoner got another beating—this time from Husky Hall himself! Shroop took Hall's blows and said nothing, until the sheriff finally butted in and locked Hall up in one of the two cells. “Just to keep you from killing the dirty little snitch,” Big George laughed as he went out. * ¥ ¥ ¥ Sflmm BROOKS carried a tray- ful of food down to his two prisoners the next morning and was somewhat surprised to find young Shrimp in a chair drawn up in front of Hall's cell and the two crooks talk- ing peacefully together. Brooks hadn't expected to find any scene like that, disposition of the case, he t “Made up so soon, eh? T ‘There’s no sense in you boys fl;hungl‘ other.” “Yeah, we've made up, sheriff. I've showed Hank how—bein' equally guilty—he belongs down in here with me. Jus’ like you've been saying all along. An’ he agrees. Let him! out of his cell, sheriff, so we can eat our breakfast off'm tH' table. He won't hit me any more—will you, buddy?” Hall said that he positively would not strike his partner any more, and Brooks then let Hall out into the “run-around” with Shrimp Shroop. True to his word, Henry Hall did not hit his lttle friend any more. In- stead of that—he hit the sheriff! And the main reason George Brooks put up such a poor battle against Husky Hank Hall was that little Shrimp had both his arms glued fast around the sherifi’s shins and was helping mightly in bnu‘.n Brooh to earth! THIN—whne ty\nl m: George up, | Shrimp said: “An’ still I ain't no stool-pigeon, sheriff, no long-tailed cheese-eater. “All I did was tuh get you—youebig sap!—tuh go an’ get me own buddy tuh help me crash out of your stinkin’ coop. You insisted on me tellin’, you must remember. I tried tuh tell you that when I told you you'd wish I hadn’t, but—wantin’ things is all right, sheriff, only guys should be more careful about bitin' off more'n they can chew. “You wantéd Hank an’ you got him; you had mé an’ now you ain’t got either one of us. His capture should help you gain votes next election. So long.” (Copyright, 1936, Children BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. ATS are in an order by them- selves. They are such queer animals they have to be. Hang- ing upside down to sleep and looking more like an old glove clinging to the roof of a cave, behind a shutter, or such out-of-the-way places, you pass by the sleeper, never realizing you are in the presence of one of Nature’s children whose life story is more like a fairy tale than real. Bats love the night. Their flight is silent but extremely accurate. They fact, many tests have been made by blindfolding bats and freeing them in a room filled with furniture and bric- a-brac. Not a thing was bumped into. All over America you can find mem- bers of this family. They are friends of ours and catch the night-roving insects. It is too bad that so many false reports have been circulated about ants. There is the story of the bats getting into our homes and bringing most objectionable creatures with them. This is absolutely untrue. It is also untrue that this creature wants to get tangled into ladies’ tresses. This story, by the way, will soon have to be modified, or perhaps it will die out because of its falseness. come into the house.

I'hnnlntl—— HIM i1s one sent in by Twizzler Anonymous about a snail which | we have added to at the suggestion of one of the professor’s colleagues. All in a]l, it gives to you & neat and not too easy problem. A snail is at the bottom of a well 20 feet deep. He starts a journey to the top at the rate of 3 feet per day. However, he is handicapped because at night, when he rests, gravity causes him to slip back down 2 feet. Not only that, but when he does finally reach the top, he finds that he has climbed up a partition which is very thin and he immediately starts a descent down the other side, exerting the same amount of energy that he exerted climbing up. How long did the whole trip, from the bottom of the | partition to the top and down the other side to the bottom again, take?
