thought there was something famil-
far in the gait of the fellow. He
was puzzled at first, but the more
he looked. the more convinced he
became that the would-be cook was
none other than his master, dis-
gnised as a common cook.
“How did he ever get by me, 1
should like to know." mused Billy
to himself. “He must have found
another entrance. and as he is
wearing a. German soldier's uniform.
he must have killed a soldier and
put on his uniform. But that would
not account for his blond hair and
blonde mustache. He must. have
brought those along with him. as
he probably thought he might need
them and other disguises before he
got back. Then again it may not
be my master. but only a man who
walks like him. Oh. for the nose
of my friend the police dog! Then
I could find out for sure and track
him by the scent wherever he goes.
I'm going to follow that man any-
way, and find out for sure. And
should I come across any German
soldiers—and I shall probably meet
many—they will only think I am
one of their numerous goats that
has strayed in here. Just the same,
I shall dodge all the soldiers I can."
Cautiously he crept'along, making
as little noise as possible. Soon he
_came to what seemed to be the bot-
tom and central pince of this line of
trenches. for there were passages in
all directions. like the okes of a
wheel.
(Tomorrow we sinful nd out if
if really is Billy's master that 'he
is following.)

TO GET FUND FOR
PLAYGROUND
Supt. of Schools Bu-
chanan - Searching
for Site to Comply
With Harmon Foun-
dation Conditions
More than‘fivo hundred requests
for application blanks have been
received by the Harmon Foundation
in connection with its offer to give
fifty playgrounds during the current
year. Inquiries have come from ev-
ery state in the Union and applica-
tions have been received from all but.
four. showing a. nation wide interest
in. the problem of securing play land
in growing communities. In‘many
cases those making application re-
port that while suitable tracts of
level land could be purchased a few
years ago for a few hundred dollars.
today city improvements and indus-
real estate values that purchase of
land for recreation purposes in al-
most prohibitive.
The Harmon Foundation's offer is
open until July 1. 1924, when all ap-
plications to be considered in the fin-
al selec;lon must be received by the
Division of Playgrounds. Harmon
Foundation. 140 Nassau Street. New
Xork. N. Y. The fifty play places will
be chosen from those communities
which have a population of at least
300 and where a growth of 30 per
cent. or more since '1900 is shown
according to the United States Cen-
sus statistics. The Foundation de-
tsires to help those towns where the
need is greatest and where the
32000 which will be available for
each field will secure the most de-
sirable and permanently useful site.
The. local interest shown in regard to
plans for equipment and supervision
will also be considered.
The Division of Playgrounds is
directly concerned with the program
it. hts undertaken to encourage and
assist smaller rapidly growing teams
and cities to secure centrally located
ground to be used in perpetuity for
recreation purposes. T00 often play
places are established on unimprov-
cd privately owned lots which are
later turned into factory sites or
used for other local development.
the Foundation maintains. and for
this reason its work has been defin-
itely limited to the acquisition of
the land for play uses, leaving ques-
tions of equipment and supervision
to local and national organizations
already in active operation which
are better equipped to handle such
problems.
Norwalk should avail itself of the
above offer of possible. Supt. Buch-
anan has been searching for an
available site to offer. but has not
yet. succeeded in finding one which
is reasonably level, and available at
a price within the required limit of
81000 an acre.
The city already owns a good play
ground site in Broad River district.
The greatest need now is one in the
opposite part of the city. If any Sen-
tinel readers know of such a site
cal up Supt. Buchanan or some mem-
ber of the Board of Education.

Miss Katherine E. Haley from the

almost anything can be used."
Jackie asks that every boy and
girl as well do grown up ransack

bit of old clothing and send it to the
nearest school house on or before
