"You've all seen that little old house right down the road between Puddle Muddle and the next vlllagel Well, It Is being painted pink by a funny old man with a long beard and shaggy hair and he spoke of it as his house, and there's an old lady there, too. She has white hair and she wears a shawl and she called the old man Grandpa Galump and he called her Grandma." "Are they going to live there?" Willy Nilly asked. "The house Is so small." "Oh, Top Notch, your news Isn't A bit Important," barked Rip. "Just a moment," interrupted Wil ly Nilly. "I don't know anything about these people of whom Top Notch speaks, but we don't want them to be our enemies. So I don't want you animals to go around and other them. We want a little peace lor awhile." "We won't bother them," said Rip. "I have really Important news. The animals in the next village have a football team and they want to play the Puddle Muddle team." "But we have no team," said Top Notch. "That's Just the point," barked Rip. "You have no sense," returned Top Notch. "We haven't a team now, but v enn get one together and prac tice bo that we can beat them." "That's a fine idea," agreed Willy Nilly. Now the animals would be busy and they would not be curious And get In the way of Grandpa and Grandma Galump. "I'll make your bjOlmeui and shin pads," he said. jKonday: Puddle Muddle Football.

H 1 1 UN 1 1 1 mt 1 1 1 All Ncsta's nerve had not kept her from a sharp recoil which took her back to the mantelpiece. He stood against the door and looked first at her and then at the bed. He might well say that he was drenched. When Nesta threw up her hand to try and push him away sne had still held the bowl of water. It struck his shoulder, overturned, and sent a cold cascade down his back. The shock of it brought him broad awake. His hands let go their hold He'd been strangling some one. Who? Good Lord where was he? What a nightmare? He'd been dreaming. But this wasn't a dream, for there was Nesta with her hand at her throat; and there, tipped up on the bed, was a yellow china bowl. The bed itself showed a large wet patch where the clothes were flung back. He swung round on Nesta. "What's the meaning of this?" She had been frightened, and now she was angry. She could not bridle her tongue. "You dangerous brute 1 You might have killed mel" Her voice broke on a sob of pure rage. "I'm sorry but wnat were you doing in my room?" "Im your wner- "I don't think you were here as my wife." Nesta flung up ner ncaa. "What d'vou mean by that? You half kill me ono minute and Insult me the next!" I don't think Its as bad as all that. You can talk all right' He stopped and ducked sharply. There was a rough lump of pink and grey quartz in the middle of the mantel piece. Nesta had swept It off and pitched It at his head. It missed, crashed against the door, and fell heavily. Next moment he naa ner oy me wrists. "Look here, that's enougn 01 mai: Pull yourself together. If you don't, I'll empty the water Jug over you and you can explain to your sister-in-law why I did it. Take a few deep hrenths and count a hundred! I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I've been knocking about in some iainy ruui!" nlnces. and if anyone creeps into my room in the dark and puts a hand on me, it's their look out I don't stop to think I shouldn't be here now it I am. Nesta had ceased to struggle. Now she suddenly leaned towards him. "Where have you Deen Ho drnnned her wrist, stepped back, and looked at her, frowning. "I don't know." "You must know. You said" He passed his hand across his brow. "What did I say?" She laughed, half angrily. "Yon said vou'd lived in some nrettu rouoh Darts the last few years. I believe you too, the way you tried to strangle me. My lord. Jimmy you've got a grip, bnc broke off suddenly. "D'you mean 10 say you don't remember what you said?" Ho shook his head. "No it's gone." She looked at him curiously. "You don't know where you lived or what you did beforo I met you? Honest Injun?" He shook his head again. "Well, I'm blessed!" She began to Jlmmv you've got a grlp" She The man without a past! And I can't help you, because you wore always most uncommon close and never told me a thing, and as far as I'm concerned you start in where you stepped out from behind a bush in the drive going up to The Hall at Packham. "And if I've got to guess, I'm go ing to guess that getting away with the Van Berg emeralds wasn't your first Job by a long chalk. Rough places? Yea, I believe you places where you shoot first and ask ques tions afterwards. Lucky for me you hadn't got a gun tonight wasn't it? "And lt'd have been lucky for you 18. Goddess ol peac 19. Signs 33.

I tell you you'd better get out or the country as quick as you can. But you must tell me where the emeralds are before you go." She came up close and slipped an arm about his shoulders. "Come boy It's nothing but common sense, and you owe me something." When she stopped, he put a hand on her arm. You havent told me what you were doing here." sne looked at mm coolly. "You called out In your sleep I came in to see what was the mat ter." "What were you doing with the bowl?" "I had It In my hand." She laughed. "Lucky for me I had!
