Presently, however, Ilttlo shining wisps flickered hero and there gloV worms hlch wore serving no torches. By this dim Hsht Peggy and Billy saw a fat grinning rat crouched on n, throne di rectly l front of them. But this fat rat wasn't tho angry squeaker. Tho squeaker won a thin, rots-looking rnt, who stood bcaldo tho throne. ., . "De quiet, Sneaky Hat!" spoke the fat at "Unless I am mlotaken these are the guests whom I asked my spies, Snltcher and Snntchcr, to bring for my .imuiicmcnt " Tho two rats, who had drawn Peggy and Billy thither on tho sled, bowed be fore tho fat rat and answered: "You are right, Chief llascal Rat.

They were foolish enough to leave their warm bods for a slelgh-rldo in the moonlight, and hero they arc." The fat rat, whom they called Chief Rascal Bat. grinned through his whisk ers at Peggy and Billy. "How do you do I Vou aro woicome to Ratville," he squeaked, and then he Kinked a wlckod wlnlc at tho rats who ftthercd around. And thoy grinned and winked bacK at him. "Any friends of .ludgu Owl, the partner of Weo Wily TVeiBel, aro welcome to Ratville, pro vided they como as you came," squeaked Ruud Rat. "You lent for us, what do you want?" asked Billy, boldly, for ho though It beat to put a brave face upon matters.

"And now that w have oaten 'ell, we will havo our ohow." went on U.ca Rat "Our show will bo a bull .ght ?uch no a shipwrecked Spanish rat Jtico told us about.

Ho pointed to four fierce-looking rats, big , and Htrong enough to finish Peggy and Billy In a couple of bites. "I.et tho show begin. I want to bo amuBed." Peggy and Billy wero in u fix.

Sldne overheard a comment on tho couple and looked up to see If Hob had heard, too. lie had, nnd he was pazlng Into her oyes, with revelation In hln own. He led her bnok to the corner by the palms, and apoko quietly. "So It's Duncan Pierce who is tho 'every one,' Sidney girl. He'n nil right Plenty of money, and a good mixer.
