She was sure that the little snakes she had seen disappear in the mouth ©f Mrs. Gartersnake had run in there voluntarily, and that they wouldn’t have done that had Mrs. Gartersnake been going to swallow them for a dinner. “T know all about it,” replied her cousin, Farmer Brown's Boy. “I've seen that same thing happen and felt as you do. But, seeing the little ones go in isn't enough. A lot of people have seen that. We just didn't see enough. What we need to see is little ones go in, and later come out again the same way they went in. Until we do I guess we will have to believe what the naturalists say, which, s that no Snake takes its Solution to Yesterday's Puzzle.

Sue's twin brother, Sammy, came up just in time to hear this. “Lion hunt!” Sammy was scornful. “There aren't any lions around here. Lions don’t live in this country, 'cepting Mountain Lions. Theyre not real Lions, anyway, and I don’t believe there are any of those around here, and you wouldn’t dare hunt. them if' there were.” “Is it a game, Tommy?” cried Sue. “I know it is, and it sounds exciting. Never mind, Sammy. He can stay at home, if he wants to; I'll go with you on & Lion hunt this afternoon.” So after lunch the three started out, for, of course, Sammy went along. His curiosity had been aroused and he had no intention of missing any- Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier invited themselves to go along, but were sent back. “I should think they would be & help in finding your ol’ Lions,” said Sammy. Farmer Brown's Boy shook his head. “No,” said he. “No,” they wouldn’t know one of these Lions if they should see one. But don't worry. I'll find them without any help. Only yesterday I saw signs that they are around.. A funny thing about these Lions is that they often come right around people’s houses and no one knows it. Sue was right close to one the other day and didn't even guess it.” Sue glanced about a bit fearfully and drew s little closer to her cousin. I don't know what your Lions are, \ but you can’'t scare me, Brown” said she. Tommy chuckled. “You're scared this very minute,” he accused. “I'm not!” retorted Sue. “Girls are always scared of noth- ing” said Sammy scornfully, and added: “I bet your Lions are nothing but kittens, or something like that.” “No, sir,” declared Tommy, shaking his head. “These are Lions. First, we'll look back of the barn. That's where I saw signs of them yester- day.” ~ He led the way to the barn and, pretending great caution, peeped around the corner, 5o as to look back of it. Then he turned and beckoned the others to follow, putting a finger to his to signify the need of si- ‘ Tommy lence. Sue and énmmy tiptoed after him. They were sure that this was only a game, yet somehow they were excited. Abruptly Tommy stopped. There was an opening under the barn. In front of this was fine sand.

The “secret” life story of the Duchess of Bedford, who is believed to have been killed after she disap- peared on a solo airplane flight last March, is to be told in a book. The Duke of Bedford, fourth richest duke in the British kingdom, has com- missioned John Gore, noted bio- grapher, to prepare the work. Only 10 copies will be printed and they will go to near relatives. Now aged 81, with his affection for the “Fly- ing Duchess” as steadfast as ever, the duke regards the publication as the one great task before him. Pri- vate diaries of the duchess, treasured at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, Eng- land, will be included. ‘ D DOG CAUSES ACCIDENT Trouble Begins When Driver Tries to Prevent Jump. PORTLAND, Oreg.
