Mr.. Grayman between surprise, an
ger and anxiety lost his self com
mand. Then the thought Of the com
missioner and the aerOs at hand flash
ed across his mind and restored his
confidence. He must carry out the
plan now. He was in for it.
II did not he began, but Payton
interrupted him, laundering:
''YYho is your friend under the tree
there? What is he waving his hand
kerchief for?'
Mr.. Grayman glanced toward the
place where the commissioner stood
and saw a flash of white. All, the sig
nal at last. All his habitual GOODNESS
came back. The aeros would be here
in a minutel He must simply detain
Paytou a little longer.
"Well, out with it, MI. G~rayman-
who is your friend?" sneered the pi-
rate.
Without replying, Grayman turned
round on his heel, expecting to see the
police aeros swiftly approaching. But
he saw nothing except the commits
sioner franticaIly waving his handker-
chief.
They're not coming said Payton
derisively. "The commissioner may
wave his arms off, but you'll never see
his aeros. I fixed them all four this
morning. and now I guess l shall have

As he spoke he lifted his hand.
Immediately the Chameleon wore
round and swept down toward them in
a beautiful curve. As she grazed the
ground. two men sprang off, and, be
fore he could have offered a show of
resistance, MI. Grayman was seized,
lifted from his feet and carried aboard.
Payton followed at his heels, and a
moment later they were circling up
ward.
That which Mr.. Grayman's good
sense had all the while been telling
him would happen had happened. 1t
may or may not appear strange that
his first impression was not of fear,
but of shame because he had made an
ass of himself.
When the unhappy commLss>,

St. Johns is not on the boom, but
just growing like a thrifty tree,
spreading out and reaching up as
never before. 1917 will place 1000
per cent to her outward appearance
es over 1910, and very much to her
intrinsic values. Some think St.
Johns property has reached high
water mark, and 1t can advance no
further. So they said five and ten
years ago, but was ii truel The
next FIVE years will see greater
things for St. Johns than the last
FIVE saw. She now has barely the
laid for a superstruct-
ure that will astonish St. Johnsites
more than many who are just look
ing on. Stop knocking and go to
boosting, and you'll feel different
about it, and St. Johns will grow
the faster for your help. The Pac-
ific coast will make its most gigan-
tic strides in progress in the next
FIVE years just ahead, and St. Johrs
has the key to the situation and will
share immensely in the general de-
velopment. Let her grow.
