* The House of the Three Ganders By BACHELLER IRVING Copyright by living Buheller (WNU Service) SYNOPSIS Ragged and starving, a boy of about sixteen is found In the woods by a camping party. He has fled from Ills brutal father, Bat Morryson. Fed, and n clean clothes, the boy, Shad (Sher ldan), is sent to Carton, with a letter to Colonel Blake. The colonel, his wife, and young daughter Ituth, are impressed by the boy’s manner. H*> goes to work in the village of Amity Dam, and becomes friendly with a youth of his age, “Bony," and Bumpy Brown tinker and village charantifr. Bat Morryson tries to take his son back to his own dissolute life'but Is overawed by Colonel Blake, the dis tnct attorney, and his father passes self ou ,t of diligently Shad’s life. to his Shad neglected applien him¬ tion. Love for educa¬ Ruth Blake tak*s a strong hold on his heart. In ay, at¬ tack made on the Perry family, Oscar Perry, the father, is fatally shot, and his daughter, Mrs. Doolittle, wife of Cyrus Doolittle, prominent citizer. shot and seriously w'ound'-'d. Circumstantial evidence points to Bumpy Brown as the assailant, and he is arrested. Shad loses his job, and goes to live with Bony. The two toys seek and find disguises the murderer had worn. CHAPTER V—Continued — 10 — They were weary and soon asleep. Shad was up at six. He got his breakfast, then put some clothing in Bony’s small pack basket. He was ready to take the stage going south at seven o’clock. The sun shone warm out of a clear sky. it softened the surface of the frozen road and im¬ proved the wheeling. They reached South Bolton, the end of the stage line, at eleven o’clock. Shad went to Hubbard’s store. At a desk sat a well-dressed young lady. She turned from her task as the boy entered. Immediately Shad recognized her. She was the girl whom he and Bony had seen at the door of Bumpy’s shack one Sunday—the girl with the haughty manner, the handsome eyes and the glowing red cheeks. She was much stouter than she had been. ‘‘Good morning!” she said with no change In her countenance. “What can I do for you?’’ “I believe you know Bumpy Brown," Shad began. “Well, what if I do?" she answered coldly. Shad told of his purpose. She laughed In the unemotional fashion of Bumpy’s parrot, and asked: “Do you think that we can remem¬ ber the numbers of all the rubbers we sell and the names of the men that buy them? That’s impossible.” Many things were impossible in South Bolton. It was a little hamlet In the edge of the big woods. There were no more than forty or fifty people living in its huddle of small houses. “You’re a good-looking boy,” said the girl. “Where are you going?” “Into the woods above Mose St. Germain’s.” “Why don't you stop here a while? We’re going to have a dance and a party at our house.” The girl had dropped her cold and haughty manner. There was that In her tone which seemed to indicate that she really wanted to get ac¬ quainted with him. To Shad she looked very beautiful. “I’m sorry, but l have to see a man who is at Kildare pond today,” he said. “Is there a livery stable in the plaee?” “Yes. rt’s just across the street.” “I’ll run over there a minute,” he said as he left her.

The girl cow looked sad. “I think that you have been crying,” said the frank boy. “Yes, there’s a lot of crying here itroong the women—it’s so lonesome,' she said. “You get the habit. It’s awful to live in the woods.” “I know what it is. I’ve lived in the woods myself. I’m sorry for you. Shad sat down there and ate a part of his luncheon. The horse and buggy arrived and he set out with the livery man on a ten-mile ride up the sand plains to the house of Mose St. Germain. The famous guide was at home. He had left Colonel Blake and Judge Swift in the woods. They were hunting. Mose drew a diagram of the trail for Shad to take with him. This is a reproduction of it, save the names: E l O E >2 Camp D Abandoned Lumber- 13’ Camp Q; I *6 ! A 3 C {hock CenterE O K m 5 ‘, LPond'E g ‘ 0 ”E e 4 noe 1% stGerma'ms Diagram ”through Woods to deep E] Kildare Pond. _ He told the boy to go straight to Center pond where he would find St. Germain’s canoe. Then he was to cross to a big rock in the far edge of the pond beyond which he would find the trail to Kildare. He, Mose, would take the long trail around the pond. Shad set out on the much traveled trail. He found the waiting canoe and could see the rock of which Mose had spoken, about a quarter of a mile away on the far shore. His treasures, wrapped in his sweater, were now in the pack basket. This he deposited in the how. A skillful paddler, he pushed through a border of lily-pads and out into the clear water. He was well beyond the middle of the pond when a shot from the shore behind him shattered the silence of the deep vale and filled it with echoes. Shad jumped. A bullet had whizzed by his head and struck the water beyond him, and ricochetted on its surface. It had come from some point on the shore he had left a bit east of him. A thought flashed through his brain. He flung tiis feet over the stern and dropped into the water, and none too quickly. Another ball had whizzed through the air above him, in a rush of sound. Beaching up, he seized the gunwale, and, keeping the canoe be¬ tween him and the direction whence the shot had come, swam with his free arm. The shooting ceased. The man whose rifle had been aimed at him was no doubt seeking a more favorable point of attack. Shad, with the skill of a lad whose cradle, one may almost say, had been a canoe in water, made swifter progress than his enemy had thought possible. He got beyond the rock and ashore, seized his pack basket and crept into the thicket, dragging it beside him. Now covered, he arose, thrust his arms through the basket straps and ran. He was about a mile and a half from Center pond when he came to the abandoned lumber camp on Mose St. Germain's chart. It stood in a little clearing. His clothes, drained and warmed by his exercise, were be¬ ginning to dry. The first drops of a cold rain were falling. Night was coming on. He could just dimly see the outlines of the log structure. He knew that its roof, covered with tar-paper, would protect him. It did. In a moment the a;r seemed to he filled with the down¬ pour of cold water. Shad stood by one of the window embrasures looking out at the storm. The rain turned to sleet and stopped suddenly. The clouds passed. The moon was peering through the tree tops in the east. Shad had stepped toward the door ready to go on his way, when he saw a man with a rifle on his shoulder stealthily approach¬ ing the camp. He seemed a man of prodigious size—bigger than any one Shad knew. The boy’s heart beat fast. The stranger crossed a wide path of moonlight that cut the shad¬ ows. As he did so Shad observed that his face was covered with a handkerchief. The man was enter¬ ing the doortvay when Shad leaped through a window opening in the rear of the shack and ran. A conviction had come to the boy that he was the man who had been shooting at him. Else why did he cover his face? Shad reached the trail and ran like a scared deer. He was soon at his destination a mile or so farther on. He felt sure, and with good reason, that lie had seen the murderer of Oscar Terry. CHAPTER VI The Robbers and the Revolver. When Shad arrived Mose St. Ger¬ main, who had reached Kildare pOnd before the storm began, was serving supper to Colonel Blake and Judge Swift. “I’m wet,” laid Shad as he went CLEVELAND COURIER and stood by the stove. ”1 had to do some swimming and there was a lot of water in the bushes.” "Come right upstairs. I’ve plenty of clothes for you,” said Colortel Blake. Soon Shad was seated at the supper table in dry clothing, and slippers. “Tell us what happened to you and why you are here,” said the Colonel. Shad began at the high point in his adventures: “Somebody shot at me when I wns out on Center pond. The bullet al¬ most took the end off my nose. I was scairt. I slipped out into the water. Another bullet whizzed above me. 1 got the slant of ’em when they hit the water. I knew about where the shooting came from. I made for the canoe and hid myself behind it and towed it ashore. I ran up the trail like a scared buck. I knew why that man was shoving lead at me. He wanted to get me an’ the things In that pack basket before I could see you.” “What have you got there?” the colonel asked. Shad told of what he and Bony had learned of the man under the broad Orimmed hat hastening down the road to Ashfield; of their searching for and finding the hidden handkerchief and hats; of the group of men at the Westminster hotel and of Bony’s boastful words in their presence; of Doctor Go rse ' s suggestions regarding the revolver and the rubbers; of the big man who followed him to the lumber camp. Shad proudly unwrapped the pack¬ ages in his basket and laid them be¬ fore the astonished officers of the law.

Looking at the chart the judge said: “The handkerchief and slouch hat were found where Brown might have hidden them in going to his boat. We must keep Brown’s motive in mind.” “Yes, but I have not been quite satisfied with Brown's motive," said the district attorney. “The sheriff’s reports and my own observation and the evidence of this boy indicate that he is a harmless and lovable old chap of a rather admirable spirit.” Shad told the story of the missing ring. He added: “That’s why I am here.” “Well, boy, your heart and your work are a credit to you,” said the colonel. “You have faced me around. Judge, this is no such easy problem as we thought. We have to look for a deeper man than the tinker and a deeper motive than mere resentment. It is extremely improbable that two bullets could have been aimed di¬ rectly at the hoy by accident. If the man at the old lumber camp was a benighted hunter, why has he not shown up here? He came out of the trail from Center pond. It leads di¬ rectly to food and shelter in this camp.” The judge asked: “Assume that he was trying to kill the boy, why would he have followed him to the old lum¬ ber camp? After circling the pond he would have known that he was too far behind the boy to catch him.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Safety Glass Discovery The year 1931 is virtually the twen¬ ty-first birthday of safety glass, for it was in 1910 that the patent now most generally used was filed. The inven¬ tor was Edouard Benedietus, a French chemist of Dutch origin, who had an experimental laboratory in Paris. One day he dropper a bottle to the stone floor, and although it was starred in¬ side like a crystal it did not break. He remembered that it had contained a mixture of various chemicals which had evaporated and coated the inte¬ rior with a transparent enamel. Bene dictus noted the formula, and realized that on his shelf lay the secret of un¬ splintered glass. The patent was filed in 1910, hut it was not till Reginald Delpech, the English pioneer motorist, took up the idea that safety glass was manufactured.

Jacob Journeys to Egypt (45:16- 46:27). 1. Joseph sends for his father (45:16-24). At Pharaoh’s request Joseph sent an urgent invitation to Jacob to come to Egypt, promising to give him the “good of the land.” 2. Jacob consents to go (45:25-28). The news that Joseph was alive and “lord of all Egypt,” backed up with the signt of the “wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him,” in¬ duced Jacob to consent to go. 3. Jacob's vision at Beer-sheba (46:1-7). a. lie offered sacrifices unto God (v. 1). As he was now about to leave Canaan, Jacob sought God's guidance and blessing. His soul, no doubt, was moved with great emotion. b. God's response to Jacob (vv. 2-4). He bade him go to Egypt without fear, assuring him of the divine presence and blessing and his ulti¬ mate return to Canaan. c. Arrival in Egypt (vv. 5-7). Jacob was accompanied by his sons, their wives, their children and cattle. With the meeting of Joseph the fam¬ ily circle was now complete, seventy souls in all (v. 27). II. Jacob Meets Joseph (46:28-34). Though the journey was now over, they were faced with perplexing problems. God had promised to be with Jacob, and Pharaoh had prom¬ ised to Joseph that they should “eat of the fat of the land,” but the de¬ tails were not known. 1. Judah sent before (v. 28). He was sent perhaps to direct them to the Land of Goshen. 2. Met by Joseph (vv. 29, 30). Jo¬ seph, being the lord of Egypt, prop¬ erly traveled In his royal chariot. Though he was Jacob’s son, it was proper that he should extend a royal welcome. III. Joseph Presents His Father and Brethren unto Pharaoh (47:1-6). L Pharaoh's invitation (45:16-19). Jacob and his sons were in Egypt by the king’s invitation. Joseph, though occupying an exalted position, was not ashamed of his father. 2. Joseph’s tact (47:1, 2 cf. 46:30- 34). a. In introducing his father and brethren in a personal way, thus capitalizing his own influence in favor of his kin. b. In having his father and brethren come to Goshen (45:10). Since pos¬ session is “nine points of the law” they were already in Goshen before asking Pharaoh for permission to occupy it (v. 4). c. In coaching his brethren (46:34). He taught them beforehand what to say because he knew how awkward they would be before the great king. d. In choosing five, not all (v. 2). In all probability he chose the five who would make the best appear ] ance. I 3. Their request to Pharaoh (vv. 3, 4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh’s questions and put the proper words Into their mouths to be used in mak¬ ing their desires known. 4. Pharaoh’s response (vv. 5, 0). a. His gracious offer. They were j to enjoy the best of the land. h. Positions of trust offered to ca¬ l' pable men among them. He knew how capable Joseph was and sur¬ mised that some of his brethren might be likewise gifted. IV. Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (47:7- 10 ). Here is an appraisal of true dig¬ nity. Though Pharaoh was the great king and Jacob now a suppliant at his feet, receiving natural blessings, yet morally Jacob was above Pharaoh and therefore conferred blessings upon him. V. Joseph Nourishes His Father and Brethren (47:11, 12). 1. He placed them in the best of the land according as Pharaoh had commanded (v. 11). They were thus ready to go forward in business as soon as the famine was ended. 2. He nourished them (v. 12). Since there was no bread 1n all the land to be obtained except as dis¬ pensed by Joseph, lie distributed to them according to their needs. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, supplies alt our needs according to his riches In glory (Phil. 4:19). To Kindle Love Love may not, cannot, he attained In its fullness at once; but the per¬ son of Christ, if indeed we see him as he is presented to us in the Gospels, will kindle that direct affection out of which it comes.—B.

Siamese Monarch Made Country Modern State Mongkut (grandfather of the pres¬ ent king of Siam) made over the country into a modern state. It is Interesting to see what Mongkut’s first step was. It wns to provide for the education along western lines for his son and successor (Cliulalong korn, who reigned forty years). Mrs. Leonowens, a school mistress In Singapore, was called to Bangkok “to do,” ns the king expressed it in quaint hut unmistakable English, “English education and not Chris¬ tian religion upon my royal chil¬ dren.” Later, other tutors continued the work which Mrs. Leonowens had be¬ gun. Chulalongkorn was oniy fif¬ teen years old when lie ascended the throne, but as soon as lie attained his majority lie decreed that all ids brothers, w'hether willing or not. have an education. They might choose an English one or a Siamese one, but educated they must be. Later, members of the royal fam¬ ily and others of the king’s subjects were sent to Europe, sometimes to spend many years. Among the broth¬ ers the king later found the adminis¬ trators who were to make over the medieval structure of Siamese ad¬ ministration, and create under his direction a really modern state.—El¬ don R.

Wonderful Clock Made by Italian Artificer A clock so complicated that no watchmaker alive could possibly un¬ derstand its workings has been com¬ pleted by a patient man named Cos tanzo Renzi of Rimini, Italy, after two years of assiduous attention. The 30-hour clock, almost entirely made of bamboo and built in the form of the Fascist emblem, is 3 feet high. Besides marking the hour, the minute and the second, this wonder¬ ful timepiece also shows the phases of the moon, the day of the week, the month and the day of the month. Besides, here are some more extrav¬ agances : When the clock strikes, a small flag with pictures of the king and II Duce appears and the chimes play “Giovinezza,” the Fascist hymn. When these are over a small mortar on the top of the clock fires a salvo and a tiny tricolor makes another appearance. Inventor Renzi assured school children that try as he might lie couldn't get the contrivance to do home lessons. Fly Million Miles The mileage piled up by air mail flyers reaches tremendous totals as was demonstrated in the recent radio test of planes during which two of the planes were piloted by Flyers Bill Williams and Jack Knight, both of whom have more than a million miles to their credit in the air mail service. This distance would require the average locomotive engineer to put' in 12 or 13 years to attain it. —--- Especially Fish Stories _ “Can any of you,” the teacher asked, “tell me what ‘amphibious’ means, and give a sentence to illus¬ trate?” A bright little negro held up his hand. “I know, sail!
