CHAPTER THIRTY- FIVE "Peter! Oh, la, la!" Roberta .ex claimed, in an anomalous tone that might have meant indigna tion, or amusement, or merely in tense surprise. Panic-stricken. Piggy released her and backed away. "What did you do that for?" "Dunno. I I guess it was just because I wanted to." "Are you sorry?" "No!" "Well, you ought to be," she said severely. "I've trusted you, and What made you do a thing like that?" "Dunno. I never did before." "Naturally. 'I know that." "I mean, I I never kissed any girl before not since I was grown up." "Galahad?" Piggy jumped. "What's that?" "You know who Galahad was, don't you?" she scornfully inquir ed. "Are you trying to make yourself out his double?" "Not on your life I'm not!" said Piggy, with a leap in her di rection and kissed her again. "You must be crazy!" "Well, maybe I am." Once more he withdrew, rubbing the ear she had cuffed. "I guess we both are. Nobody but lunatics would have tried to pull that stunt tonight." "But it worked," she whisper ed, glowing again. "Celia's here! If only the rest goes as well " "The rest's a snap." quoth Pig gy, and floated to his room on a sub-limited sea of elation, forget ting that whom the gods would cast down they first make confident.

Brooks Community Club at Sturgis Home An enjoyable meeting of the Brooks Community club Was held last week at the home of Mrs. C. A. Sturgis. A large number of members were present as well as a group of invited guests. Three new members were added to the membership list. Small Christ mas trees were used in decorating the rooms. The next meeting of the club will be an all-day affair, at the home of Mrs. George Campbell. This meeting' will come on Dec. 30. A grab-bag and exchange of gifts will be features. The tint of Piggy's locks, as he had said, was begininng to show deterioration. The hair had as sumed a slightly greenish cast at the ends, while nearer the scalp, owing to Roberta's lack of experi ence in applying dye, the. color was uneven, with a suggestion of bright brown at the roots. The morning after their suc cessful raid he decided to indulge in the luxury of a shampoo before submitting to the redyeing pro cess, armed with a big pitcher of hot water, he retired to his room, whence presently issued sounds of wrath and consternation. "Bob!" he roared, throwing open the door. "Bob!" "What's the matter?" Roberta emerged from Celia's room to be hold him in his doorway, shirt sleeved and collarless, staying v.-:th a towel the streams of water that trickled from his inky crown. "This darn stuff won't wash off!" "What? Oh, it must! Let me try." "I tell you it won't come off. I've scrubbed and scrubbed, and all it does is to make it a little greener." "Oh. la. la!" said Roberta, dumfounded. "What'll I do? Have I got to wear green hair for the rest of my life?" "t I don't know. Wouldn't that be awful! Let's ask Janet." This personage, " hastily sum moned, regarded him with a pes simistic eye, remarking that he was beginning to gather the wages of sin. Pressed, she reluctantly admitted that doubtless time would wipe away the stain, replac ing the present capillary stigma with a new growth of natural col or. "But ye'll be piebald the whiles," she grimly prophesied. "Or else ye'll go with shaven head, like the criminal ye are." Oh well that s not so bad. Thanks." Relieved, he closed his door again. Afterward, the gifted Jan et, upon whom years and experi-' ence had bestowed many strange accomplishments, gloomily and v.ith consummate skill stained each and every hair jet black to its root. He then sought the tavern to learn what men might report of the night, and had difficulty in re straining his emotion until he re gained the seclusion of his rented. walls. Then he slammed, the door ami dropped into a chair, releas ing pent-up yells of laughter. Roberta, chattering upstairs with Celia. who had taken her breakfast in bed, ran down to him. "What is It?" she implored. "Stop laughing and tell me." "They've got him!" he gasped. "Got "whom?" "The kidnapper. They caught him. The dogs oh, wow!" Speech failed him, but presently he sat up, wiping his eyes, and explain ed between splutters of mirth: ' Those blessed pups treed him treed the Whangdoodle!" "The Whang you mean Clif? How could they? Where was he?" "Give; it up. He must have been around somewhere, because the gardener heard the dogs and went to see what they had and he found the Whangdoodle bird ap propriately perched in a tree, 3till oh, my! still mournins for his lost. ..." When he had recovered some what from that spasm, Roberta, who looked rather frightened", asked: "How do you know? Who told you all this?" "Some men came over from Jaffrey this morning and spread the glad tidings. He said they thought at first that somebody had tried to set the barn on fire. Then they missed Celia and heard the dogs on the hill, so the gar- nrner chased over' and nabbed Nixon, up a tree. Now the theory U that he kidnapped Celia and turned her over to confederates, but failed to make -his own get away on account of the dogs. "Poor Clif?" "Serves him right for snoop ing." "He may have seen us, Peter." "He may, but I doubt it. If he had he'd have sung out and giv en it away afterward." Piggy's opinion of a quitter was low. "They say he went up to the house and telephoned to sheriffs and constables all over the place that Celia had been kidnapped and to watch out for her. You see what we'd have been up against if we'd tried to run. He sent for your father, too. He's on J the way up here now, if ne nasn t arrived. He won't do a thing to the Whangdoodle!" He whooped again, adding, when he could suf ficiently control his vocal chords, "It's a good blafr, but it's pretty hard to put over anything on G. A." "Bluff?" He nodded, riot In his eyes. "The native sleuths have got it all doped out. That there Nixon feller's pretty smart, but he Isnt any smarter'n we be, by Jing! Theoretically, you see, if he had not been caught, he'd have chased off with -Celia and the person or persons unknown who were his accomplices. But he WAS caught. so he Immediately got busy on the telephone and warned everjDoay east, west and south to wtcb. the roads, but he seems to have for gotten that there was anything north of here and It isn't very far to the Canadian border.
