Zeb, young Baked Bean heir, Yesterday: Asey is investigat- ing mysterious goings on, in con- nection with Old Home Week, Chapter Five The Midway AFTER: dinner, young Zeb Chase suggested a trip to town. Sara threw up her hands in horror af the thought. “Jeff and I are going to bed early,” she. announced, “and. get some rest. We've purposely not in- vited any company for. the week, and we've begged out of 4 lot of events—old age is such a lovely excusé for not doing. what you don’t want to do anyway — but there is\still.a lot to tire us. You go with Zeb, Ascy, and.see if the x ues the gyp I think it’s going to be.” “Midway?” Asey said. “But I » didn’t*know that anything started till tomorrow.” “It's a preliminary,” Zeb in- formed ‘him. “To see if things work, and to give the local boys and. girls’ a chance to see things first, We've go} a ferris wheel, and a shooting gallery, and a place where you toss rings over electric 1 chased him for twenty clocks, and another where you throw darts—all good clean fun, and no fan dancers. Aunt Sara really wanted a fan dancer, but they voted her down. There'll be fireworks, too, and the band’s giv- ng a concert. Come one, come all. Til drive you up.” Once in the car on the way to town, Zeb grew suddenly serious. “Am I glad you've come! I know more than Aunt Sara thinks. Sat- urday was my night off, so I came home, and was in the living room reading when I heard the shot by the garage. Sara wouldn't let me go out, but I slid out later, and Prowled around. It was a dark night. Down by the foot bridge | Co: ~ over the creek, I bumped into someone.” * “Who?” 2 Zeb shrugged. “I chased him, “I called up Sara, and she says ik, here’s you're bens there. " your. visitor's badge, an -Your, po- lige bate, and Here’s a Madge Lane of the state police sent with his compliments when he heard you were going to be here. Put'em on. Asey surveyed them with dis- taste, “All? All three?” 5 Weston pinned.them on. “There. Now, I want you to meet General Philbrick. He says he always -wanted,to ask you about the Blight bank aad vice ne Tripi FPP, wants you on’ pro, “Gee, look there!” Asey, ‘said. Wedton wheeled around to.ldok at the street. When he turned to ask Asey what he meant, Asey and Zeb were gorie. Ten minutes later Zeb called Asey, hidden in behind one of the cafnival trucks, : “You can.come out. He and Phil- brick —_ a ae all driven away. I think you’ Peachy on the ‘radio, -Asey. ‘heat what the nice man wants?

V TTHEN an hour, Asey knew the pitchmen by their first. names, and the whole town knew that Asey Mayo had won eighteen blankets, ten boxes. of candy, a hundred and seven cigars, four clocks, and an even dozen Shirley minutes—and lost him. Temple dolls. A herd of small bo; followed him and Zeb wistfully m booth to booth. “Nothing left but.the glass blow- er,” Zeb said, “and would you really want a glass pen after you got it? And T wouldn't go back to that shooting gallery until I gave | the lad twenty bucks forsome new gadgets. The bell’s busted, too.
