Love’s Awakening By Adele Garrison Hideous Head of Blackmail Rises Through a Series of Mysterious Checks With the feeling of something decidedly unpleasant in the offing, 1 took the magazine Dicky handed to me and spread it out before us he had commanded. It was one ot the immense affairs devoted to feminine needs. and made an effec- tive screen between us and the eyves of Mary and Marion in the front seat if they should happen to turn their heads or glance into the mir- rer At for first 1 was furious at Dichy clioosing this time for showing Mary vank book and check Look, which he had kept in his pocket after 1 had picked them up in the hall at the farmhouse. Then d that if we wished to get ck to Mary without her suspecting we had seen them, would have to work quickly upon our arrival. 1 hoped Dicky had some plan for this. 1 was so upset by his warning to “prepare to he jolted” that 1 felt incapable of co- herent thought “Take this first,” Dicky mur- mured, taking hold of the maga- zine and slipping me the bank book. “Den’t exclaim.” I would have been annoyed at the fussy and unuecessary mandate if 1 had been able to feel any emo- tien save fear as to the revelation which I might find in the bank book. I opened it and scanned its brief rccord of deposits, the dates a month apart. The record presented nothing new to me, for I knew the amount which Braithwaites sent to Mary and the day of the week on which the remittance came. The date of the depostt was invariably within a day or twe of the weekly receipt of her remittance. “Never mind trying to tally it" Dicky muttered. “I've got all that dope made out for you. Just note the approximate date of those de- posits and give the book back to me. Then look at this."” 1 gave the bank book back and received into my hands the folding Cubby Changes His Mind By Thornton W.

Facing him were two lictle bob tailed spotted kit- s Thcir cars were laid back, the 2long their backs was standing ¢a end, and they were spitting and ng as only two kittens can. Cubby was filled with surprise and wonder. He had never seen these little people before. He straight- way forgot all about Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He cocked his head on one side and looked at the lit- tens in the drollest manner. Cubby was of two minds. He had a notion that he would like to play with these little strangers. At the same time it occurred to him that he was much bigger than they and that they might make good eating. The kittens were backing away. Not once did they stop spitting and snarling. Not once did they turn their backs to him. Cubby took a few ateps forward. One of the kit- tens struck at him and pricked hi nose with her sharp claws. Cubby didn't like that. He decided then and there that he didn't want srch playmates. He growled. He would teach them a lesson And right then Cubby changed his changed it with great He lost all interest in little bob-tailed kittens. He sudden- Iy discovered that he had busiiess in some other part of the Green Forest. There was need of great hurry to get to that other part of the Green [Forest. He couldn't waste a second.
