station tomorrow and then fill you in on the rest of the story?”
    ”Tomorrow it is,” the sergeant said gruffly. ”Well, now that that’s all taken care of,” Brian said briskly, ”I would recommend that we get these two girls home before they catch pneumonia! How they escaped from that car I’ll never know, but they surely need to get some rest.”
    ”We just followed your instructions,” Trixie told him. Then she gave him a hug and exclaimed, ”Oh, Brian, if you don’t sound exactly like a doctor!”
    ”And you,” he replied, ”sound just like a—”
    ”Don’t say it,” warned Mart. ”We’re in mixed company, remember?”
    Brian stared quizzically. ”All I was going to say was ’Trixie Belden.’ ”

A WORD TO OUR READERS

    Although it is true that apple seeds do contain the poison cyanide, you needn’t worry about getting poisoned from eating apples. First, the poison is only in the seeds, not in the fruit. Second, the seeds must be chewed in order for the poison to be released, and the seeds have a highly unpleasant taste. (Whole seeds pass readily through the digestive system without harm.) Lastly, the amount of cyanide in one apple seed is very tiny. You would have to chew many, many seeds before noticing any ill effects.
    It is also true that many common plants and the pits of other fruits are poisonous, some much more so than apple seeds. A wise rule is never to eat something you are not absolutely sure is safe.
