A CRISIS
Nesta was a brave woman, but she
was taken most utterly by surprise.
Bhe tried to call out, to push him
tway, but her voice chocked under
bis grip. The blood sang in her ears,
md the darkness was lull of fiery
parks. Then quite suddenly she was
free. She sat back on her heels,
gasping for breath. The sparks died
out, and she heard him say In a
sharp, bewildered voice.
"Who's there?"
He repeated the question again at
once.
"Who's there? Speak, can't you
What's happened?"
Nesta stumbled to her feet.
"You've done your best to strangle
me."
She heard him say, "I'm drench
ed"; and then, "What are you doing
here?" And with that, he was out
of bed and switching on the light.
PLENTY OP NEWS
By Mnry Graham Bonner
"I have news," said Top Notch.
"If it weren't for me no one would
know anything.
"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

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

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.

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

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

She looked at him curiously.

He shook his head again.
