as subject for investigation. OF
course I know only small part Of it.
But there have certainly been suspi-
cious circumstances. Piracy there has
been, no doubt of that; murder, too, If
my intuitions are not at fault, or at
least a disappearance to be accounted
for. Robbery can't be denied. And
there's dead body or two to be prop
erly accredited" He looked the cap
tain In the eye.
"Well?"

factory In detail, I fancy. l merely
want to know whether I'm to present
it as a defense or only an explana-
ton"
1--WE shall be glad to hear your story
when you are ready to tell it-after
you have seen Mr.. Slade."
Thank you," said barrow simply.
"You have heard his?"
YES. 1t needs filling in"
when may see him?"
That's for DR.. Trendon to say. He
came to US almost dead. I'll find out"
The surgeon reported Slade much
better, but all a-quiver with excite

he. But he'll be in fever till he gets

After a moments consideration OAR
row said, II should like to have you
and Dr., Trendon present, Captain
Parkinson, while ask Eagen one or
two questions"
Understand one thing, Mr.. Darrow,"
said Trendon briefly, this is not to be
an inquisition."

you are to respect the condition of
DR.. Trendon's patient, sir" said Cap
tain Parkinson, with emphasis. "Out-
side of that your attitude toward
man who has twice thought Of your
life before his own is for you to de-
termine."
No little cynicism lurked in Darrow's
tones as he said:
you have confidence in Mr.. Slade,
alias Eagen?"
YES" replied Captain Parkinson in
a tone that closed that topic.
Still, l should be glad to have you
gentlemen present If only for a mo-
ment," insisted barrow presently.
Perhaps 1t would be as well-on ac
count of the patient" said the surgeon
significantly.
Every WELL" assented the captain.
The three went to SHADES cabin. He
was lying propped up in his bunk.
Trendon entered first, followed by the
captain, then barrow.
Here's your prize, Slade," said the
surgeon.
barrow halted just inside the door.
With an eager light in his face Slade
leaned forward and stretched out his
hand.
II couldn't believe It until l saw
you, old man." he cried.
Darrow's eyebrows went up. Before
Slade had time to note that there was

WANTS BIGGER REGIMENT
Adlutant General cOggins Working for a Twelve Company Regiment of
 Militia for Arizona

Adiutant General Coggins of the Arizona militia is strongly of the opinion that Tucson. the largest city in the territory, should have a company of territorial militia.
 He is anxious to increase the Ar izona guard to full regiment of tw i've companies. In addition to Tucson. he hopes to see companies formed shortly in Bishee. Douglas. Globe. Holbrook, Williams and other places.
 ''l hope that in a very few months Arizona will have twelve company regiment of militia, y said Adiutant Genreal Coggins. Since the Dick militia law passed, near the end of the last session of Congress. interest in National Guard work has been aroused all over the nation, but nowhere more than m Arizona. General Cog gins is already making prepara- tions to have companies formed in several cities of the territory which at present have no military organ izations.
 The Dick law increased the ap- propriation for militia purposes from S2 GOO. GOO to S4 .O00, GOO per year. This will serve to equip new companies.
