'Kennedy turned to reassureboth the

Under and in a few
rnrlar the circumstances
Ken,

speeding 'across eountry' to the big
plant ofthe Radio Corporation.
There again we found that the
trouble with the osei,lators of the
right before had long since been ds -
covered, and correeted.
"Ver well, then" decided Kennedy,

to whom now the facilities of the big
station had been thrown open by Pro

oppportunity, put meson."
We Waited in one of the'big.broed-
casting rooms. At last the ,man in
charge received `caotit1oation, from the
manager that the air was clear on

Kennedy_ took his: position before the
microphone.

Kennedy began in a clear, bell -like
,tone.

"Can't 1 talk—please?"'
"Stand by for o, moment. Scout

Eagerly, not a bit self-conscious,
Ken took his place' before the micro-
phone.

CHAPTER XL_.
Ma Dien ROOSTER TEA ROOM.
It was a fact. Ken's' message to his
fellow scouts at once aroused, thent to
action. Scout Ieaders all aver were
busy 'notifying the members of their
troops. -Indeed the scout world, espe-
' Maley along the shores of Long Leland
Sound, both in Long Island and in
Connecticut; was being mobilized for
action. And everybody who knows
anything at all knows that when you
wantaction, when you wank to know
anything, the place to go is the goy
Scouts.
It was net until' later that we
learned,: but one place in which both.
Craig. and Ken were listened:' to with
'mingled feelings of interestand anger
was in the cabin of the "Scooter.'

"I'm :changing.: the course of the
boat," the captain began. "We etre.
putting in to the Binnacle inn. 1
want you fellows to get off right away
and meet Us there. There has been,an
alarm broadcasted over XYXZ 'for`,
this 'boy Dick Gerard whom we' have
and are holding.-,` We want to get Ken

with the racer for the Binnacle Inn;
Meet us there and we wieltranefer the
boy to you. You can hold him at the
new den until this thing blows over.
That will be sefest,"
In .the new den with the splendid`
field wireless outfit "the radio •thugs
were listening They were pleased
in one-way. It was something to do,
some excitement. Buten another way
they would have Liked "it to be some
other orders.
"I would rather handle anything
but a -Boy Scout," grow.ed one. "Those
boys learn so much. -that , it takes a
good deal to fool them, even to hold
them. I'm afraid of thent—I really

The other thugtlauehed, but there

Scouts could have had, praise from the
enemy. To a crook Dick was, no asset;
he was a liability." He wastoo much
for thein—when -one "considered tee
vast army of boys organized behind
himtohelp him.
However there was nothing to do.
The thugs with the now: -gray - racer
had to obey. They folded up the radio
apparatus and stowed it away, again
in the -back of the' car. A few 'More

have penetrated the camouflage of the

Binnicia Inn. But there'wete node to
do so. " -"-
However, Out ,on the. Sound, there
was one boat that carried a, couple; a
men and his wife, idling around en-
joying the sea air and rest, and they
were riot asleep, whatever else might
•be said of then. It wee the Little
cruiser that was hanging efts in the
haze not so far from the "Scooter"
as it changed its course and started
under orders from the captain to run
in to the Binnacle Inn. They had been
listening to a portable radio that sat
on the cabin roof and had happened
to catch the first part of 'Craig's.
alartn,broadcasted from. XYXZ. -
i ""1I` believe that is the boat they are"
looking for over'there!"
the man ex-
claimed. `"It 18 putting in to the Bin-
nacle Inn. Now if we're ever going
to- help them catch it, we must put in
somewhere healer and quicker and
telephone this club.".
The owner of the" little cruiser also
changed his course and headed in
where -he saw a cove with a big house.
They would have a telephone and he
figured that he could get Kennedy on
the wire; and start him out immediate-
ly on what lookedenow, like a promis-
ing lead. • '
'
While these things unknown to us
were going on, Craig wag giving- her
thea gas to the satisfaetion even of
:Kerr. We were speeding along .the
concrete highway toward the Nona
wantuc Club.
We had shot past a dirt road that
intersected the turnpike when Ken
always keen eyed, suddenly shouted
above the rush of air. ••
"Stop! Cede Craig, I think that is
Vlra'a tar up„that dirt -road!”
Kennedy stepped on the brakes and
if there is anything that Craigrides
himself on it is having his brake per.
feet. We stoped. ..
"But Ken, there was a'sign and an
arrow on that road, I saw. 1t read:

"I can't help that. That was Vira's
cal. l know ie I know the license

"We cant go up there," considered
Craig. "We'll get nowhere if I am
seen around' in fact any of tis. Now,
I" have an idea. I'think you have the,
making of a detective in you, Ken."
• The boy was flatte-red, but lien-
nedy's manner, was far from making
a boy overconfident. Still it was by
reposing confidence in them, putting
them on 'their mettle that'. 'Craig got.

future of Ken were close to his heart;

The .Blue Rooster was .a farmer

DELICATE FRUITS.
It lay a mile away from the. little
country town, shut out Prom the real
by a noble hedge,', etc jsigh' that Jinx'
Berry, the grant coaleheavpr,-the won,
der . . of m5' eieildhaod, could• wet'
see .over, so thick that no eye could
peer through. It was a garden of
plenty, but also a garden,of',the fanee„
with neglected corners, rich in taag-
lede growths and full of romantic pose
sibilitles. It was in this -wilder. ter-
rain that I had found the li�edgeleeg,l
here, tea, hadseen the glowworm's,
delicate light, and hero , excited'
by "The: Story of the Hundred Bayo;"
that I knew the rlerellehmen lurked ii
ambush while I et thebcad of my gal-
lant troop of the Black-Wato'hwas'
careering with magn`jdcent courage
across` the open country where the 'po-
Maxie and rhubarb and the celery;
grew. .
Never was there:a gardenmore rieh
in fruit, Around the western wall was'
trained a:noble pear tree that hung iter •
arms. , . , . right up to my bodroomt
window. Over the tote shed
grew a grape vine.. The' roof of the'
shed was accessible by a filbert tree,
the first of hail a dozen that lined the
gagden on the nide remote from they
road. '-On sunny days,'there was no
pleasanter place to Ile than the top•'of- • .
the -shed, wide the grapes . . ripen- ,
ing thick around you . . The spot
was visible from .no window, One
could die there and oat the fruit with-
-out
ithout annoyingiuterruptions.
A Favorite Spot, ' '.
Equally retired was the little grass -
grown path that branched off frem the
central graveled path which divided :
the vegetable from• the fruit ;garden.
Here, by stooping down, one was hid-
den . by tate `thick rows of goose-
berry bushes and raspberry canes.
It was my favorite spot, for there grew
a delicious gooseberry : small
and hairy'itnrt. yellow, with a delicate
flavor that is as vivid to -day as if thea
forty years that- Ile between now and
then were but a day. By this path,
too, grew the greenagd'trees. . . .
I loved that little .grass -grown path
for its seclusion as Well as for its fruit.
Here, with -"Monte Cristo or "Here-
ward the Wake," or "The Yellow Fri- ,
gate;" , ane could forget . , , ,
the buffets of the world. . . The
egg -plum tree had no favor in my sight.
Its position was too open and palpable.
. . But the apple trees! They
were the chief glory of the garden.
Winter apple trees with fruitthat rip-
tined In secret; paysin trees -with ,
frtiii small with 'itch crimson aplashee
on the dark green ground; hawthorn-
dean trees wide fruit large, green -yet,
low, into which- teeth crunched with
crisp and juicy joy. , e-.
A large quince tree grew on the
other side of the hedge at the end of t
the garden. . . I knew its austere •
Pruit well.. Its owner, an an
cleat man . , - on summer days need
to toss me largess from ;hie abundance.
The odour of ai quince brings back to
me the memory of a sunny garden and
a little old man over the hedge crying,•

Plough, in "Leaves in the Wind."

much in one day as eke used todo in
three or four.
