TURNBULL & HOLDRIDGE BOOK TWO Patsy's. Kid Fudgee By HERBERT C. MERRY CHAPTER 11 SEVEN ON ONE Patsy was out. She'd been gone for two hours. She hadn't been away from the puppies for that long a time since they were born; but now that she had resigned as she said, I guess she felt she was allowed to leave and go visiting. Patsy was always a great vis- itor. She loved to go calling. There were certain cottages which she liked to visit most. Likely as not she was down the shore paying a call and wouldn't be home until she'd been offered some Tid-bits. The puppies had slept for over an hour after she'd gone and then they were wide awake and carrying on a free for all fight in their shower bath home. That morning, right after breakfast, T had built a new outside pen for them. They were big enough now to play outside for awhile each day and this was a good time to put them out. At first they were amazed at their new surroundings. They would wobble a few steps, then stop and look all around as if to say "We really can't believe our new' little eyes. This place looks so big and so interesting too! We like this place. We think we'll try to eat it." Then one of them would bite a mouthful of grass and his new little needle- like teeth would chew away at it until he found it wasn't pab- lum. Then out it would come and the puppy would wobble away and bump his head into his next of kin. Taffee was greatly interested in the goings on in the new pup- py pen. I fixed her a place where she could sit and look down on the wiggly ones without being seen by them. "Go on Tafeef" I said to her, "Jump in there and have a sis- terly play with them." "Ho-ho to be sure," she chort- led, "Not, this little number. Really Joe, what do you take me for? I am NOT a nurse maid, nor do I intend to be a plaything for seven unruly, unmanageable, un- gainly, unfriendly--" She didn't finish, she just snorted, and jumped down from her seat. She started to mince away in a very dignified manner, but she didn't get very far. Poor Taffee. I played such a mean trick on her. It didn't hurt her physically, but it hurt her feelings badly and embarrassed her beyond words. Just as she minced past me, I swooped on her and, in a single movement had her up off the ground, over the little fence and into the puppies' pen. Tt was like the return of the "Angel Puppy," the game we used to play when she was now in the For a second both she pups the ones midst of. and the still.

Sud- denly, as if someone had turned on a switch which electrically worked seven stuffed pups, they all jumped at her at once. From behind and on both sides they came at her. She side-stepped very quickly and tripped over a fat, overstuffed puppy. Down she went on top of the squealing pup with six other rolly pollies on top of her. They were on her and over her, under her and all around her. Two were pulling her ears. One was nipping her tail. Another was trying to sample her lovely coal black nose. They bothered her, they worried her, licked her and bit her, like some awful seven headed dragon which had suddenly arrived fresh from a fairy story of some terrible land where dragons and serpents are as common as cats and dogs are to us. Suddenly ~Taffee saw her chance of escape. Across the lit- tle pen she whizzed, jumping ov- er pups and food dishes. As she approached the side wall she gave a mighty leap. Her front paws reached the top and her body was just sailing over, when the extra weight on the fence, loosened it from the side supports and down it went with a crash. Away went Taff, practically flying over the ground with the seven little mis- chief makers pursuing her like a whirlwind of destruction. Knarf Asked A Question AND HANID TRIED HARD TO ANSWER IT By MAX TRELL "I liked to ask you a very im- portant question," Knarf, the Shadow, said to his sister, Hanid. Hanid, who was reading a book, looked up at her brother curi- ously. Knarf, she thought to h wind is outside. It's in front of the house now, blowing right ac- ross the lawn. Look at it!" "T can't see it," said Knarf. "That's because," said Hanid smiling, "it's invisible. It's there yet nobody can see it." "But you can feel it," said Knarf. "It makes the leaves in the tree shake." "Yes," said Hanid. "Sometimes when the grass is high, you can tell exactly where it's going. The blades of grass bend over when- ever it passes. And it makes the weather-vane turn, and it turns the ams of the windmill, and it pushes the sailboats, and it car- ries the kites up into the air. And still it's invisible." Knarf said he understood what invisible meant now. "And there's another thing that's invisible," said Hanid. You can't see it, even though it's right in front of everybody every min- Wind males a windmill turn, you can't see it. ute of the day and night." "What is it?" asked Knarf. "The air." Can Hear Them Knarf said he had never thought of the | air that every- body breathed being invisible, but he knew that it was. Suddenly he added that he had just thought of something else that was invis- ible. "You can hear them, but you can't see them," he said. "What are they, Knarf?" "Sounds," answered Knarf. "All kinds of sounds." Hanid agreed. "Yes, even the words that we're saying now can't be seen, even though we can both hear them. But if words are written down, then you can see them but you can't hear them." Knarf wanted to know if there was any way for people to make themselves invisible. "Well," said Hanid, after giving the matter some thought, "I guess the ony way for people to make then, selves invisible is to walk aroupg| in the dark. But that's not Very] good. You might bump ing something, and besides, when it] really dark, everyone ought to hf fast asleep." That seemed to be all ther) was to it, but Knarf still wishe he could be like the wind apg the air.

"What do you want to ask me that's so important?" she finally said. "What does invisible mean?" "It means that nobody can see you." Like Hiding "No," said Hanid, "it's not ex- actly like hiding. To be invisible means to be were everybody can see you, but nobody can." "Why not?" asked Knarf. "Because--well, because you're invisible, that's why." Knarf said he couldn't under- stand this at all. "If you're where everybody can see you, why can't they? Why does being invisible keep them from seeing you?" Hanid said: "I guess I can't explain it very well. But--let me see -- what's invisible? Oh, I know! The wind is invisible.
