It was a good location and Stan made a fair living. He was a happy- go-lucky sort and. everyone liked him, but he had"^one great fault. He loved to talk/i Once he got started it was hard to head him off. Mice were has pet subject at that moment, and he claimed if everyone started to catch mem systematically, fne country would be saved a million eV€ry year. , This was Saturday and he'd been busy all day, and so had the cash register. MMe ftctiea "What's going on now?" Highway Patrolman Clancy asked as he stepped in. Stan looked up the corner where he was bent over fixing something.

S. 40, running from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He was asked how he liked the trip and how the foads were. He replied that it was fine, that the fellow named National, head of the National Construction company, was certainly a great highway engineer, but that the Frenchman De Tour was no road builder at/all.

BU88ELL, Auctioneers "Oh, they'd never bother with e place like this." Stan's mind wasn't on Clancy's warning. "Now if I could only catch that mouse." Clancy fled. The next few hours were busy ones for Stan. The farmers, in town for the evening, were his main customers, but now they were gone and he could close. j Hardly had he settled down when j there was a "snap." "Ah," he cried. "I've got you ; this time!" Jumping to his feet, he rushed. back to the corner. He pushed the box aside, but the mouse was gone, and, so was the cheese. Perplexed, Stan scratched his head. This mouse had out it over him for almost a week. "I'll get you yet!" he muttered shaking a fist. THE CAR grinding to a stop woke him up. Hardly before he was out of the chair, the door opened and a man stepped in. "Good evening," Stan said. The man looked hanjpand grim. "iStand where you arel" The voice sent chills up and down Stan's spine. "Put up your hands." An automatic's snout was pointed where Stan had always considered his heart was. Right now it was pounding in his mouth. His hands shot up with all possible speed. A flashy girl came in and stood beside the man. "Wise guy," the man sneered. "Yeah, wise guy," the girl said. Stan's eyes stole toward the cash register. There was almost $20Q in it. V-- If Clancy were enly here. Stan's ears were straining for the sound of the motorcycle. , "Here," the man said curtly, "hold the gun on him."

The sight of his vanishing money made Stan see red. '*Don't try it, sap!" the womaft' said coldly, motioning him back. A pair of small, beady eyes staredout of a hole in the wall. The moust started to run across the floor. The girl screamed and, dropping the gun. scrambled up on a chair. Cursing, the man turned. All the fury in Stan's fist crashed into his face. He went crashing into the wall and slumped. In the excitement the sound at the motoi cycle had gone unnoticcd. Clancy stepped inside, surveyed the. scene and quietly asked. "What goes on?" Stan sighed with relief. "You'rf: just in time." "1. think so," Clancy said, dryly," taking the gun out of the shak? ing hand. "This might go off anft damage someone . . even you."
