CRE acibinsona lived in a pretty little hozn in a row. They lived very comfortably 'without rasa and feathers, or anything startling happening to them, until— • One dark night Sally Robinson got half -awake and restless. She said afterwards that she heard a noise, but she thought It was the wind. In the morning Father Robinsdit got up and began to dress as usual. When he reached for his trousers, which for years he had hung over the back of the same chair, the trousers were not there. "Well, well," he • said to. himself, "I must be getting absent-minded." Then lee began hunting for his trousers, but they could not be found. ' "I'll wear my brown pair, he said, "but what worries me is that my money and keys 'are in the pocket." "Oh, they'll turn up," •said Mother Robinson. "They couldn't walk themselves away. YoU've laid them down somewhere." • "I always undress right here," growled Esther Robinson. "1 al- ways put my pants overe the bank of this chair." • Sally had run downstairs to let In old Tabby who was meowing at the door. Right away she saw a familiar object hanging on the back ofthe kitchen chair. "Why, here are Daddy's trous- ers!" she exclaimed jeyfully, • and picked hp the trousers. Upstairs she trotted and Father Robinson was mighty glad to see the garment. Sally's cat Was still meowing at the door, so the little girl ran down and let the, creature In. A.s Tabby ran eagerly' in with her tall held up like a fiag and her whiskers twitching '•evith joy, an' angry'voice resounded through the house. ' "My keys are gone!" cried the voice, and Father Robinson came hurrying downstairs, saying over again, ",My keys are quite gone." • "And your money too?" asked Mother Robinson, anxiously. • "Of course," replied Father RObinson., "I've been robbed, that's plain. We've had a robber." Then Sally remembered the noise she had heard during the night. MOther Robinson recalled heating heavy breathing., and Tommy Robinson thought he remembered hearing a window openedand all, Sorts of other strange little noises. "Well," aid Father Robinson, "I think it was very mean of you all when you heard the robber, to calmly let him take niy pants and rob me!" Mother Robinson opened her buffet and found all her silver just where it had always been. • When they called ,up the police, a. cop or two came and said it was; an "amateur job." But after they went away, Tommyr, looked very wise and said he thought it was a "profeesional, job," • "Have it your own way," said Father Robinson. "It make's no difference to me whether 'it was a real robber pr not: My money and keys are gone, that's the point. Everybody heard the rebber, but nobody scared hem away." "The mosquitoei were so bad they kept me awake for ever so next time the' circus; comes around,• won't have the price of tickets." "Oh, we'll, have your money by that time," said Tommy. "T'm going to spend the'day looking for clues." "So'rn L" promised Sally. They studied the kitchen care- fully,looking for clues, and then they asked to see the trousers. Sally turned them this way and that, Terri:13y peered, througb the reading -class at them, but it was Betty, the neighbor's little girl who sniffed and said: "Ther smell funny!" • "So they do!" agreed Sally. "Smell them, Tom." "It's gasolerie," said Tommy. "No, stanething else," Seely re- plied. • "I know!" Betty pried:. "It's citronella!" "It can't be," insisted Seely. "We Tozremy Peered Through Th long," Sally said. "I thought it was only •mosquitoes I heard tipe pingeup and down stairs." • "All rieht,ejeke eivitY!''' growled her father., ,"My money's gone and. 1)0RA GOES.

The hand -organ played high-pitched, and rather wheezy music, but Dora liked the Sound .01 it, and. the monkey was amusing. Then by the time she started on again, (*Poodles had discovered. a cat just inside a fence they were pa,ssing, and was determined to get that tat- He barked and barked, and it took Dora several Minutes to persuade him to come along.

She kept on watching „and wish. ing for one /or herself, and when the young man clerk came up and said, "What would you like, little lady," Dora stood quite still for a minute.
