Sometimes, they would write down a decoder key onto the scarf. By tying it around their hair or neck, these spies held the answer to the mystery and no one was the wiser! functional

Violet and I love dressing up, and scarves are the perfect detective accessories. Women working as spies during World War II got double duty out of the fashionable fabric. The scarves of course protected their hair from the wind and rain. But printed on the reverse side of the fabric was an escape route of nearby towns, roads, and hideouts in case they needed to make a quick exit. Sometimes, they would write down a decoder key onto the scar..

Haven't you any old birds' nests and stones and model airplanes?" asked Maggie. "Oh, can I keep that kind of things?" cried Mike. "Certainly," said Aunt Jane. "There's no good living here, if you can't have your own things." "Oh, oh!" cried Mike. "Can I have Spotty, too?" "Yes," said Aunt Jane. "Lady always stays in my room." She stopped. "But what will Watch say?" "I don't think he will say much," said Mike. "They didn't fight on Surprise ..

Hello, Aunt Jane," said Benny, going over to the bed. "I'm Benny. And aren't you a cute little lady!" Aunt Jane was taken by surprise. She almost smiled. "And I suppose you are Henry," she said. "Yes. We are sorry you are sick," Henry answered. He hardly knew what to say to this strange woman. "Who said I was sick?" asked Aunt Jane. "Well, you certainly don't look like your grandfather." "No, I'm afraid not," said Henry. "No need to be afr..

We let Watch get up on the beds," said Violet softly. "I let my dog lie on my bed," said Aunt Jane. Watch looked first at one and then at the other. "Up!" said Aunt Jane. Watch gave a great jump and landed on the other side of the little lady. He lay down and put his head on his paws. He was not sure that he had done the right thing. He kept looking at Violet. Violet was watching her aunt smile at Watch. She was sure that Watch had done..

The ranch is yours from this minute. All I have to do is write my name when Mr. Pond brings the papers. I want my ranch to belong to people who love it. That's why I wouldn't sell it to those three men." The four children said "thank you" very softly, as they left. "The only thing about this that I don't like is Grandfather," Benny said. He threw himself down on the grass. "You said that wrong, old fellow," said Henry. "But we know what you..

Do you know the name of these yellow stones, Mr. Pond?" asked Violet. She picked one up and gave it to him. "No, I don't know much about stones," he said. "This yellowish rock makes a fine powder. I know that Indians long ago used it for their sand paintings." "Sand paintings?" asked Benny. "I never heard of sand paintings." "They are very interesting," said Mr. Pond. "They are beautiful, too. The Indians took sand of all colors: blue, gree..

Do you think there are any sand paintings in our field now?" Benny asked hopefully. "No," answered Mr. Pond, smiling. "There haven't been any Indians here for many years." "I'd rather have Indians here than whoever is living in that hut," said Jessie."

Mr. Carter spoke, "I think your grandfather will be glad to help. I can go to Greenfield and tell him the whole story." He looked at his watch and got up quickly. "Good-by, children, and the best of luck." In one minute he was gone. Benny said, "Mystery men work fast, don't they?"

Now, one last idea," said Mr. Alden. He looked at Jessie, with a twinkle in his eye. "I heard all about your Mystery Man," he said. "He's not Mystery Man," said Jessie, laughing. "But he was nice, wasn't he?" "He doesn't seem like a Mystery Man any more," said Violet. "I'd like to see him again sometime." Mr. Alden said, "He come to the party tomorrow, if anyone asked him."

GERTRUDE CHANDLER WARNER discovered when she was teaching that many readers who like an exciting story could find no books that were both easy and fun to read. She decided to try to meet this need, and her first book, The Boxcar Children, quickly proved she had succeeded. Miss Warner drew on her own experiences to write the mystery. As a child she spent hours watching trains go by on the tracks opposite her family home. She often dreamed ab..

Two each," said Jessie. She gave them out. That is, she rolled two potatoes to each one. "Now let's put the canned milk in the water pail with some spring water." "What a dinner!" cried Benny. "I don't like canned milk when I'm home. But it tastes all right here." It was certainly queer not to have any dishes except a water pail and milk cans. But even as the wind kept on blowing and the rain kept on falling, everyone was very happy to have..
