SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1939. YESTERDAY: When they get into a fist fight with each other the East twins become two, and admit they're fake freaks. Mean- while, Richard Craftonbury Adams, owner of Saltair Acres, is “bearing down on his unin- : vited guests, Meanwhile, also, the Chiseler is reconnoitering.

In short, once a_porch- climber, always a porch-climber. Mineful of the crying need for absolute quiet, the Chiseler re- moved his shoes and secured them in his belt. Then he went up the tainspout nimbly. He gained the balcony without; mishap and climbed cautiously gh oak rail. > ae all of a-su b light ~ had been grithed on on in one o: the rooms it gave on the balcony. awing back into a darkened er, the Chiseler took counsel! wi nimself, He the conclusion that it wou'd be the’ height of folly to be st:mpeded by this slight untoward occurrence. Doubtless the light had been en on by a-maid who was down a bed or something. She’ probably be gon. in a min- ute. He resigned himself to wait. Five minutes passed. Ten. Fit- teen. And during them there came at intervals to the Chiseler’s ears small slithering sounds as of birds fluttering their wings. The sounds fromthe open window of the lighted room and the Chiseler was at a loss to account for them. He began to fidget. Valuable time ‘was passing. He permitted another two min- utes to go by. Then he came-to the conclusion that the maid, havin, turned down the bed, had left an: neglected to switch off the light.

Having made adequate provision for this party of Mr. Jonathan's, she had turned the reins of gov- ernment over to Matherton and his subordinates. Then she had slipped up to her roon., intent upon a auiet cup of tea. Before ringing for it, however, she bad sat.down to tell her for- tune a few times.
