General Tin And The Diamonds

-But They Weren't At All What He Expected!-

By MAX TRELL

NARF and Hanid, the shadow- children with the turned- about names, had heard lots of stories from Gonéral Tin, the tin soldier, about his aunting expedi- tions. So when they found him standing by the window in the playroom with his musket over nis shoulder, and looking as if he were thinking of something very important, they were quite sure it was about some expedition.

Hauid, who was just on the point of asking the tin soldier to tell them what he was thinking about, was surprised to hear hi say, "And I never was so dis- appointed in my life, my dear Hanid."

"Oh!"
