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

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.
