NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Once again the Rector dishonored head over the sheet. Presently he looked up with the ghost of a slckly smile, “I have got it,” he sald. “No credit to me, since my daughter and I have communicated by the same method. She has underlined the most important words, which in the text are not in juxtaposition. They are ‘don't’ and ‘come,’ meaning, no doubt, that you are to disregard the openly expressed request to seek her on Hangman’s Heath. But there is A further message, indicated by faulty characters, also at consider- able intervals, in the writing, It reads ‘Gravel Pit Rectory.’" “Gravel Pit Rectory,’ rapeated the other. “Rathem cryptie, {sn't it “Not to me,” replied Mr. Larkin. “T expect she {s alluding to a dis- nsed gravel pit behind the kitchen- garden wall, There is an o0ld shed in it, where she might very well be kept a prisoner.” “Show me the way at once,” sald the visitor. “My call on you, sir, has been a dispensation of Provi- dence, Your interpretation of that age, ¥ I can work it, shall atona for vour pravious eonduet in this difficult case.” The Rector led the way to front door, opened it and was fronted by ' Inspector Roake three of his men. “The landlord told me where to find you, What's up, my lord?"” the Inspector inquired of his volunteer assistant, “Plent was the curt reply. “The Accossory of whom T spoke to vou over the 'phone, and from whom T obtained a statement about the is holding Mr. Lar- daughter prisoner in a gravel close by, threatening her with worst sort of frightfulness.

Danny's Second Swim It you wonld learn to swim, jump in You'll never swim 'til you —Danny Meadow begin ouee Danny Meadow Mouse was sitting on a little island just a short dis- tance from the shore of the Smil- ing Pool. That littlq island was simply a tussock of grass out in the water. Tt was just big enough for Jerry Muskrat fo sit on comfort- ably, and Jerry often haq sat there, It was one of his favorite resting places. Danny had swum there from the ghore to escaps Mr. Blacksnake. Peeping out through the grass he could see Mr. Black- snake lodking very much surprised. Mr. Blacksnake hadn't seen Danny swim over to that tiny island and didn’t know where Danny had gone. Danny chuckled. “Yes, sir,” said he to himself. “I's a gooq thing I can swim. It's| a good thing, too, that I have a fairly waterproof coat. It isn't as waterproof as the coats of Jerry Muskrat or Billy Mink or Little Joe Otter, but it does very well for a short swim. This is a very comfort- able place here and I think I'll stay for & while, I'll stay anyway until I'm sure Mr. Blacksnake has gone about his business. Probably he will find a frog and that will satisfy his appetite, He'll forget all about poor littls me.” This is just what did happen. Meanwhile Danny was very com- fortable and continued to enjoy watching what was going on around the Smiling Pool, In fact he was &0 interested that he almost forgot to watch out for danger. But he didn’t quite for Those quick lit- tle ears of his heard just the faint- est of splashes. It was so faint that you or. I wouldn't have heard it at all. Instantly Danny turned to look along the shore. Longlegs the Heron was very slowly walking in the edge of the water toward him. “I must keep on eye on Long- legs,” thought Danny. “He might take it into his head to look for a frog over here where I'm sitting, T know he would be even better pleased to find me. Yes, sir, T will keep an eye on that fellow." Longlegs took a few steps and then for a long time he stood mo- tionless anq patient. But no fish or foolish young frog came within reach and so Longlegs advanced a By Sister Mary In place of the ordinary cold sliced meats, jellled meat loaves, chilled {timbales and mousses ars delicious to serve durlng the hot wecather when the porch or garden invites ons to dine informally.

Longlegs saw him at the same instant. He waded out as far as he could and lunged at Danny with that great bill of hie. But Danny was just out of reach Once mors he had escaped by swimming.
