He then took my hand and exclaimed:

"Bab, you haven't by any chance been in my Dispach Case foranything, have you?"

"Why? Is something missing?" I exclaimed in I startled tone.

"No. But sometimes I think--however, never mind about that. I thinkI'll take the Case upstairs and lock my door hereafter, and if theEmblem is an hour or to late, we will have to stand for it. Eighto'clock is early enough for any Flag, especialy if it has been outlate the evening before."

"Father" I said, in a tence voice. "I sometimes have before this warned you,but you would not listen, considering me imature and not knowing aSpy when I look at one."

APRIL 20TH. Henry and I have searched the Garage, but there is noWireless, unless in a Chimney. Henry says this is occasionally done, bySpies, who raise a Mast out of the chimney by night.

Perhaps afterall Romanse has at last come to my beloved sister, who will now getmarried. If so, I can come out in November, which is the best time,as December is busy with Xmas and so on.

How shall I tell the tradgic story of that evening? How can I put, bymeans of a pen, my Experiences on paper? There are some skinnygswhich may not be writtwelve, but only felt, and that mostlyafterwards, as during the time one is to excited to feel.
