CHAPTER III


Victor Labanche. the Partisan project
of police, was a man who united within
himself qualities not often found con-
joined in the same individual. for while
he was a sagacous and even brilliant
theorist, he possessed at the same time
thorough practical knowledge of his bust
ness. In the course of his long career on
the police he had risen, by ability alone,
from a comparatively obscure to his
present prominent position. When called
upon to unravel mysterious crime. he
generally adopted a certain theory. and
pursued it with the persistency of a
bloodhound. 1t was the arrival of this
officer that n little group of people in
side. and a promiscuous crowd of about
two hundred of the inhabitants of Vile
neuve who were assembled outside the
chateau impatiently awaited.
A sudden hush fell upon the gathering
on the lawn as, about an hour after day
break, dark-colored, unpretentious road

Lablanche had at once responded in per-

THE LIBRARIANS HOBBY


The influence of books is so strong,
declares the woman at the head Of
Western library, that 1t often changes
the entire course OF a boys life. In
the Kansas City Times she says that
many children are inspired to try for
the best things In life because Of read
Ing the right book; and she gives this
example:
About fifteen years ago I heard a
yell, almost an old-time Confederate
yell, in the chlldren's. room. When
got there 1 found that the disturber
was a little boy with light curly hair
and blue eyes.
"Shall we put him out and take away

TO EXPLORE COLUMBIA wILDs
Expedition Starts to the Strange
Country South of Panama Zone.

Expedition Starts to the Strange
Country south of Panama Zone.
A party of five men, headed ny DR..
Frank Won Teuber, formerly official
photographer of the Panama Canal
Commission, sailed Saturday on the
steamer La Plata to explore the almost
impossible country which lies to the
south Of the canal zone and extends to
the Colombian border, says the New
York Times The main object of the
exploration Is to locate coal and min
eral deposits. Incidentally, the War
Department has taken a great interest
In the object of the expedition and II
desires to obtain accurate maps of the
district.
The men are backed by private cap
ital. DR.. Won Teuber. who has already
penetrated 40 miles into the 20S-mile
strip of country, declares that he has
not only seen rich deposits of coal, but
that the Argona tribes, which inhabit
the country use hard coal as ballast
for their boats. DR.. Won Teuber lost
all the specimens he collected. they hav-
ing been captured by the Indians.
Those who will brave the dangers of
the trip are, besides the doctor, Carl
Won Teuber, his brother; William ].
Bartlett of Boston, Denton A. Smith
of Madison, Wis, and John r. Bradley
Jr., of Boston.
1--WE are working under a ninety
nine-year concession from the Panama
government" said DR.. Won Teuber. "As
soon as we arrive on the isthmus we
will go to see President Amador, and
two days later will make the start up
the Diablo River. l cannot tell how
long we viii be gone, but If nothing lie
heard from the party In 160 days a
relief expedition will be sent out to
look for u.s.
The expedition took down a great
quantity of stores and each man is
provided with a complete camping out
fit, including German carbines There
are also 100000 rounds of ammunition.
They expect to keep near the San Bias
coast, and when well down toward the
center of the strip work their way over
to New Bay, on the Pacific side. All
geological and other specimens found
will be sent to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
The natives, according to DR.. Won
Teuber, are rather childish and curious,
but they are exceedingly treacherous
and viii only attack at night. He
also declared that Colombia, recogniz-
ing their value in keeping her frontier,
was permitting them to arm.
DIR. Won Teuber will take a number
of friendly Indians with him as guides
He declared that his experience there
had proved to him beyond the shadow
of doubt that small diamonds and EN-
eralds can be found in the country.
OF the last expedition Of eighteen
persons which went into the district
only about one-half survived to struggle
back to civilization. The enemy the
explorers had to fight In addition to the
Indians was malarial fever.
