CHAPTER V.
Threats of Danger.
THE Raven, who was Reddy
Woodpacker transformed, was
dodging back and forth to es
cape . the slashing attacks of the
Hawk, who was Blue Jay, made into
a bird of prey by the mysterious ef
fects of the Imagination Stone.
And above the Hawk circled the
ferocious Eagle, who was Judge
Owl transformed. The Hawk was
so intent upon making a meal of
the Raven that he was not paying
much attention to the Eagle, but
Peggy and Billy, frisking about on
the topmost branch of the tree,
could see that the Eagle was getting
ready to swoop down and take a
vigorous part in the fray.
"Oh, Blue Jay will tear Reddy
Woodpecker to pieces! I wish I
could change them back" sgueaked
Peggy in her squirrel voice.
"And Judge Owl is going to claw
Blue Jay to bits," squeaked Billy.
"We must get the Imagination
Stone back and transform them into
their real selves," squeaked Peggy,
quivering with fear for her feathered
friends, whose natures had been so
dangerously changed by her prank.
"Woe, woe, woel" croaked the
Raven, dropping utterly exhausted
among the branches of the oak tree.
Right after him, just ready to grab
him, was the Hawk. And right after
the Hawk, swooping down, wes the
Eagle. But just as the Hawk seem
ed about to sink his claws into the
tired Raven, he stopped himself.
And just as the Eagle started to
clutch the Hawk he halted. The
birds, of prey had suddenly seen
more tempting dinners two soft,
plump squirrels. With harsh hunt
ing screams, they launched them
selves straight at Peggy and Billy.
Peggy gave a quick, mad leap,
leaving a tuft of fur in the Hawk's
talons. Billy followed, but with
part of his tail torn off by the grasp
of the Eagle. From branch to
branch and limb to limb Peggy and
Billy fairly flew, instinctively saving
themselves from long falls, but
never stopping to gain a firm foot
hold. Away down below was a squirrel
house, which Peggy had put up in
the tree for Perky and Jerky, but
which they had never used because
they preferred their nest of leaves
high up in the branches. It was for
this house that Peggy and Billy now
scampered, rushing into it and cow
ering as far away from the opening
as possible.
The Hawk and the Eagle could
not follow them there and they
could hear the disappointed birds
giving hungry screams far above.
The Raven had taken advantage of
the change in the chase to flop down
into a hiding place under the eaves
of the porch,
"I'r going to bag that Eagle and
Hawk," he shouted. At first this
made Peggy feel safer. Then she
grew quickly frightened, for she
remembered that the Eagle was
really her friend Judge Owl and the
Hawk was Blue Jay. She didn't
want either one shot.
"Woel Woel I told you that Im
agination Stone would bring dire
woe." It was the Raven croaking
under the porch eaves.
Another man came running wear
ily along the sidewalk. It was
Tony, the monkey, turned into an
organ-grinder. He was still clasp
ing Sylvester, the man turned into
a monkey, but he was almost dead
from fatigue. As Peggy and Billy
looked at him. he turned to a tele
phone pole and climbed up it part
way, but he was so tired he threat
ened to fall back at any minute.
There was a sound of sobbing,
too, and down the street searching
everywhere came a little girl. It
was the policeman's daughter,
"Papa, papa," she was calling.
"Can anyone tell me where my papa
is? He's lost and maybe we'll never
see him again."
Peggy looked at Billy and he
looked at her. The same thought
came to both of them. Supposing
they' couldn't ever recover the Im
agination Stone and turn 'the Bull
dog back into the policeman!
Even as they thought this, the
Bulldog came panting along on the
trail of Tony. He was tired and
angry. Foam was dripping from his
jaws.
"Mad dog! Mad dog! Somebody
shoot the maj dog!" shrieked the
little girl; fleeing from her own
transformed father.
"Mad dog!" wailed Tony, so tired
and frightened that at any moment
he might tumble from the pole.
"We've got to get "that Stone
back," whispered Billy.
Come on," said Peggy, creeping
out pf the squirrel house and leading
the way to the window ledge, from
which they could look into the room
where Jerky,' the squirrel made into
a girl, was taking a music lesson in
Peggy's place. There they saw an
astonishing sight.
(Tomorrow wilt be told the exciting
thlnffs that happen when Peggy and Billy
try to recover the atone.)

Alleges Concealed
Property to Reduce
Alimony Demanded,
Hilda Getscher, divorced wife of
Henry C. Getscher and mother of
their nine children, has brought suit
to set aside the divorce decree on
the grounds it was fraudulently ob
tained on perjured testimony. She
names the State Savings and Loan
association as defendants with her
husband in order to prevent him
from removing property held in this
bank outside the jurisdiction of the
court.
Mrs. Getscher asserts her husband
is worth $32,800, although at the
time of the divorce agreement, when
she was awarded $3,500, Getscher
represented the latter sum to be
one-half his entire holdings. Since
then she learned he owns property
at Eighteenth and Ohio, valued at
$11,000; certificates of $10,000 each
in the Conservative Loan and State
Savings and Loan associations, be
sides other valuable property.
Not aware of this and because of
her despondency over her husband's
conduct, which included intoxication
and consorting with other women,
she alleges, she consented to the
divorce settlement which she now
wishes set aside.
Eight of the couple's children are
living. They were married in Fre
mont in 1885.
Von Dorn Objects to Paying
His Divorced Wife Money
John E. vori Dorn has filed a sup
plement petition against Louise E.
von Dorn, his former wife, and John
M. MacFarland, asking the court
for a temporary injunction in so far
as the plaintiff is required to pay any
money to Louise von Dorn until ap
peals now pending in the supreme
court have been determined.
On final hearing, he asks that this
injunction be made permanent and
for such relief as the court shall
seem just and that plaintiff shall re
cover his costs.
This is another chapter in the long
story of the Von Dorns' domestic
troubles. After divorcing Louise von
Dorn, the plaintiff, who is a promi
nent Omaha attorney, married his
former secretary, Miss Nell Rubin.
Louise von Dorn brought suit to
annul the divorce, assisting that
she and Von Dorn lived as man and
wife after the divorce was granted
and before he married Miss Rubin.
She asked alimony. The case is now
in the supreme court.

Maurer Asks Divorce
as Final Chapter in
Marital Difficulties
Rudolph Maurer today filed suit
for divorce against Golda M.
Maurer, adding another chapter to
the Maurer marital difficulties. He
alleges extreme cruelty. No men
tion is made in the suit of the cus
tody of their 4-year-old daughter,
Marion Lavon, since the plaintiff
does not know the present where
abouts of his wife or child. They
were married in 1912.
The couple's domestic troubles
were first aired. in September, 1912,
when Maurer asked the court ior a
restraining order to prevent his
wife, or her mother, Mrs. Eva M.
Kitchen, of Council Bluffs,. from in
terfering with his cutdy of their
child, which he had removed to the
home of hia brother, Julius Maurer,
in Benson. The court awarded him
custody of the child.
Since then the wife secured pos
session of the child and now their
whereabouts is unknown.
Jefferis'and Tunison are Maurer's
attorneys.
