Dan Carter and the Money Box
While putting coal in the stove in the basement at the church, Dan discovers a box containing a large sum of money. Nobody knows how the money box came to be inside the basement, so Mr. Hatfield takes the box home for safekeeping until he can turn it over to the police. The next morning, Mr. Hatfield calls the police and goes to retrieve the money from his room. Amazingly, the money box has disappeared! The police suspect that Mr. Hatfield plans to keep the money by pretending that somebody else has stolen the money. To complicate matters, word of the newly-discovered money box quickly spreads around town, and three different people come forward to claim it. Mr. Hatfield feels responsible for the loss of the money and plans to make good the loss in the event that the money is not found. The Cubs are troubled as they know that Mr. Hatfield can hardly afford to repay several thousand dollars out of his own pocket. Soon a break in the case comes as an unexpected source gives the Cubs a clue about the lost money and enables them to trace the thief to his hiding place. The Cubs are able to recover the money, clear Mr. Hatfield of all suspicion and return the money to the rightful owner. **
Demi-Gods
Demi-Gods James Stephens The day had drawn to its close. The stars had not yet come, nor the moon. Far to the west a red cloud poised on the horizon like a great whale and, moment by moment, it paled and faded until it was no more than a pink flush. On high, clouds of pearl and snow piled and fell and sailed away on easy voyages. It was the twilight - a twilight of such quietude that one could hear the soft voice of the world as it whispered through leaf and twig. There was no breeze to swing the branches of the trees or to creep among the rank grasses and set them dancing, and yet everywhere there was unceasing movement and a sound that never ceased. About them, for mile upon mile, there was no habitation of man; there was no movement anywhere except when a bird dipped and soared in a hasty flight homewards, or when a beetle went slugging by like a tired bullet...
