CHAPTER flUl?**
x PECTKD ARRIVAL.
Nancy went slowly upstair*.
Connie s words: "Oh. do go away!"
were repeating themselves again
and again in her ears. It seemed to
her that the world was crumbling.
It was now twice within the week
that she was leaving the house of
one of her best friends, accused of
a affair with her husband.
This time, she knew, she would
Hot com* back.
Anger against the Stanleys was
beginning to flare up in her heart
t last.
If she had been guilty of a
moment's sentimental thought regarding
Curtis, the whole situation
would have been different. She
would have been put on the defensive.
As It was. she was a martyr.
She took a certain peculiar satisfaction
in her position. Moreover,
she was convinced that 9he had been
the victim of one of Curtis Stanley s
practical jokes. She resolved to do
nothing. to say nothing she would
regret, until she had threshed the
matter out.
Once again she ordered Connie s
maid to pack. Serious as the situation
was. she could not resist a gig*
gle.
She was almost becoming accustomed
to quick departures from the
homes of her friends. Her *****
bond state was getting to be a J*abit.
Suddenly remembering the Hardings
occupying her rightful hom?
in smug complacence, rage boiled
up in her heart. It was probably
suppressed rage against the *jtanleys,
but it seised upon the Harding*
as Its target.
In an Illuminating flash, she wondered
why she had been such an
Idiot as to allow Peggy Lewis's relatives
to impose upon her hospitality
in so amazing manner.
"Shall I ctll a taxi. Mrs Burrard.
enquired the maid, when the las1
strap was adjusted on Nancy s luggage.
"Yes. But first get my owr
apartment on the phone."
Peggy Lewis's voice answerec
Nancy's "hello" when the girl handed
her the instrument.
*Oh, is that you. Nancy! Peggy s
voice was as cool as a tinkle of ic?
In a glass. "You seem to have beer
avoiding me. lately. However. I dan
say that's natural under the cir
cumstances" Altll .
"What do you mean by that, demanded
Nancy.
Peggy giggled.
What an innocent young tnini
he is! "Little birds sometimes tei
tales, you know. Nancy dear. If 1
were you. 1 wouldn't be QUITE s(
ingenuous?that is. not if I wanted
to lead a precarious existence.'
You never take any of your^ owr
advice, do you. Peggy T said Nancy
sweetly- What have you been doing
with yourself lately? Shopping
T suppose? How big a ? dld
you get out ot Langwell.
There was a moment's silence al
the other end of the phone; ther
Peggv stammered: ^
Wh?what do you mean"
Never mind. dear. Little birds
sometimes tell tales.' mocked Nancy

Secret Code Is
Only Acquired
By Practice
.
"A secret code?that's what we i
need, fellows. Then, if that other ?
bunch gets hold of our messages
they won't be able to read them,
and that'll be some satisfaction."
i Ever since the Clinton Braves had
organized at the close of school
they had been troubled with a
gang of youths who persisted in
raiding the Braves' secret tree
mail box. Tom Millner. Chief 1
of the Braves, continued: "Is ?
there any one of you who has a !
good code?"
At first no one spoke. Then
Bud Williams arose from his
soap box seat.
The Fractional Code.
, "I know a pretty good one that
might be satisfactory." he beI
gan. 'It isn't original with me,
but I don't think that hurts any.

, and here's why." Bud took up
J a piece of paper and pencil, bent

, Several minutes later he exhibited
a paper with some queer
fractions on it. that looked something

rode." explained Bud. "See why
it's called the fractional?
j "Here's a message in code."
Again he bent over the desk and
I wrote. When he finished he
, showed the boys another paper
with this on it:

Dan and Ned
On Little Jaunt
Go Up Creek
<F?artli Daj f The Stafk-ap")
Though he would have fought
on the spot had he not thought
that what Bert Coffey had Just
whispered to him was the beginning
of a joke the Kit Carson
Club had planned to play on him.
"I'll stick this thing through If
they play ail the tricks in the
world." determined Dan.
It was nearly noon when the
hiking party reached the cabin.
Of course, eats were the first
thing thought of After building
a good cooking fire, the boys got
out their sandwiches. bacon,
weenies, and prepared to feast.
Afteraooa Be*in?.
After the meal had been finished
and the fire cleared away.
Ned Fox. as Chief Scout of the
Club, arose to make a little
speech.
"This afternoon, fellows, we
want to get in as much fun as
possible. There are a good many
things we ran do. There is the
canoe In the cabin and a couple
of us can take it out and go for
a ride on the creek. Then there
may be some of us who want to
ramble through the woods.
"What ever you do. though. I
suggest we divide up into pairs
and go together. There are
twelve of us; that'll make six
pairs. Now. then, choose partners
and we'll get busy."
Bert Caffey Take* laaar to Creek
Everybody started asking the
other fellow what he wan planning
to do, and if two happened
to have planned the same thing,
those tw0 "paired off." All except
Dan Goodman, that- is. He
lingered on the outside of the. j
little group as an uninvited guest
might
"Who wants to go for a ride in
the canoe with me? Who wants
to shoot the rapids?" Bert Coffey
shouted this loudly to attract
attention.
'Til go with you. Bert." piped
up little Midge Kelley. And he
and Bert went into the cabin,
carried out the canoe and set out
_for the creek.
Finally, nearly all the boys had
chosen partners and left the
camping ground. There remained
only Ned Fox and Dan.
"Well. Dan?what's your
plans"" Ned walked up to Dan.
"Haven't any special ones.
Ned." replied Dan. "What s
yours."
"Same with me?haven't any.
but how'd you like to take a
hike up the bank of the creek
with me?"

BROTHERS ATTACK JANITOR
OVER LOST CADET CAP.
William Bowman runt an elevator.
His brother James is a bell
hop. Both work at the Portner
apartments.
Virfil P. Martin is a Janitor. He
i used to work at the same place, but
not any more since he had a row
with the Bowman brothers.
James lost his high school cadet
cap. Martin found it and hung it
up in his room. The brothers noticed
it there.
William left his elevator and
went to the basement and started
an argument with the Janior about
his brother's cap. Then James came
down to help argue.
Then. Mar.tin said, the brothers
hopped on him and beat him without
warning him that they would
fight.
Policeman Haskell was called in
and put the fighters under arrest.
Someone connected with the
apartments must have made an investigation
because the janitor was
let out and the Bowman brothers
retained.
In court James and William
pleaded self-defense. They thought
Martin was coming after them, they
said, and then they hit him.
The testimony nhowed that Marj
tin was sitting down when first
, struck. This shot the defense all to
pieces.
The court fined the boys S10
each.
