The route from the National Capital was

Tenleytown road, more Familiarity known
as Wisconsin avenue. The fine stretch
of smooth oiled roadway on Massa-

of the Naval Observatory grounds con-

taken, leading over good macadam

The next town en- route was Hyatts-
town. a small burg situated in deep
valley and along the hillsides. The de-
scent is very steep. the ascent on the op-
posite side being one of the stiffest on
the run. The road has been somewhat
improved since last year, and the large
boulders which stood out SO prominently
heretofore have almost entirely disap-
peared. Passing through Hyattstown, we
sped along the winding road, and about
a mile and a half before reaching Ur-
gate. where the small sum of cents was
exacted before we were permitted to pro-

After travelling a few miles we found

up and side-stepped again, Reds eyes

"NOTISE-NO COSTS Allowed"

An exuberant audience watched Red
drive the last nail and step back to admire
the sign, and the running fire of comment
covered all degrees of humor. Johnny's
ghost had become byword in that part
of the country and his friends had made it
practice to stop him and gravely discuss it.
He had thrashed Wood Wright and been
soundly thrashed by Sandy Lucas in two
beautiful and memorable fights, and was
only waiting to recover from the last effort
before having the matter out with Rich
Finn; and these facts were beginning to
have the effect he strove for; though Cowan
still sold a connection of gin, brandy and
whisky which he called FLYNN Ghost" and
which he proudly guaranteed would show
more ghosts per drink than any liquor
Mexico could boast of-and some of his
with real money.
This was the condition of affairs when
Hopalong Cassidy strolled into Cowan's
and then forgot his thirst in listening to the
story being told by strange Mexican. 1t
was Johnny's ghost, without a doubt, and
when he had asked few casual questions
he was certain that Johnny had seen some
thing. On the way home he cogitated
upon it and two points challenged his in
telligence with renewed insistence: the
ghost showed itself only upon Friday, and
then only to "Greasers." His suspicious
mind would not rest until he had viewed it
from all sides, and his opinion was that
there was something more than spiritual
about the ghost of the San Miguel-and
cold, practical reason for it.
When he rode into the corral at the ranch
and saw the sign he swept his gloved hand
upward with rush, tore the Aimsy board
from its fastenings, broke it to pieces across
his saddle, and tossed the fragments from
him. He was angry, for he had warned the
outfit that they were carrying the joke too
far, that Johnny was on the verge of hys-
terical rage that might cause him to do
something all would regret And he felt
sorry for the :" Kid; he knew what Johnny S
feelings were and he made up his mind to
do some thrashing himself if the persecu-
ton did not stop. When he stepped into
the bunk house and faced his friends they

period of six weeks. Martin was down the
river looking for man who did not wish to
be found; and some said it was even money
that Martin was in Mexico, for he cared
little about international boundaries when
he wanted a man real bad.
Monday morning, Martin returned to
San Felipe, told the padre where he could
be found if needed and rode away
Friday afternoon, Manuel headed straight
for crevice near the wall of the canon
at the big bend, and, reaching it, looked
all around and then dropped from sight
into it. Not long afterwards another
Mexican appeared in the direction of San
Felipe and also disappeared in the same
manner. As darkness fell Manuel re-
appeared with something under his jacket
and moment later light cleaned at the
base of slender sapling which grew on the
edge of the canon wall and leaned out over
the abyss. 1t was cleverly placed, for only
at one spot on the Mexican side of the dis
tant Rio Grande could it be seen-the high,
Curving canon walls further down screened
it from anyone riding along the north bank
of the river. Manuel placed his jacket over
it twice and then let it CLEAN steadily, and
Immediately an answering light twinkled
three times far to the South. Manuel,
covering the lantern again, picked it up and
went back to the CreviCe, where he was
swallowed instantly.
From a pile of debris and powders not
far from the Crevice, Dick Martin saw the
whole thing and smiled when the second
light answered. He made no move, but
allowed Manuel to disappear and without
trace of emotion: "Cassidy was right in
every point. | hope he won't be late" he
muttered, and settled himself more COM
fortably, smiling again as the moon pushed
its rim over the hills at his right.
Hopalong was not late. AS soon as it
was dark he and his companions stole into
the canon by the trail which led to Dents
and made their way cautiously toward the
big bend, which they gained without mis-
hap. Johnny was sent up to place they
had noticed at the time they had rioted
; down to defy the ghost. He was to stop
anyone trying to escape up the San Felipe
end of the trail, and his confidence in his
ability to do this successfully was exube-
rant. Hopalonga and Red slowly and labori-
ously worked their way down the perilous
path leading to the bottom of the canon,
forded the shallow stream and crept up the
other side, where they found cover not far
from a wide crack in the canon wall.
Upon the occasion of their hilarious visit
they had observed that very faint trail led
along the edge of the stream and to the
crack and they had cogitated upon it deeply.
Three hours passed before the watchers
in and above the canon were rewarded for
their vigil; and then a light fickered far
down the canon and close To the wafer
Immediately strange noises were heard and
suddenly the ghost swung out of the open
ing in the wall near Hopalong and Red and
