Florence eyed him wildly, not quite
understanding where he had come
from.
Il don't know how you got here"
he said; "and I don't care. But here
we are together at last. Where Is
your father?"

to have any particular love for you.
Now, where is your father?"
81 don't know; I have never seen
him."
Braine laughed.
And Jim's boat ran afoul some rocks
and into the water he went. He had
not attracted Braine's attention, for
tunately. He began to swim toward
the drifting launch.
where have they hidden that
money!"
II don't know"
well, well; I've given you your
chance. You'll have to try your luck
with the water again"
Florence, weak as she was, set her
lips.
"You don't ask for mercy." he said
banteringly.
81 should be wasting my breath to
ask for mercy from such a monster as
you are" she answered quickly.
"That damned Hargreave nerve!"
he snarled.
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped
toward her. She braced herself but
did not turn her eyes from his. Sud-

pair of hands. One clutched the gum
vale and the other laid hold of Braine.
A quick pull followed, and Braine be-
gan to topple. But even as ne tell
he managed to fling himself atop his
assailant; and 1t was only when the
struggle began in the water that ne
recognized the reporter. All the devil
in him came to the surface and ne
fought with the fierceness of tiger
to kill, kill, kill In nearly every in
stance this meddling reporter had
checkmated him. This time one or the
other of them should stay In the
water.

would know what to do with It. And
wouldn't they be surprised when she
told them what she had accomplished
all alone? Her exultation was of short
duration. She heard the whine OF the
door on its hinges. The men were re-
turning. Why?
They were returning because they
had discovered q woman's shoeprint
outside. It pointed toward the cave,
freshly, and there was none coming
away. To reenter the chest would be
foolhardy. It would be the first place
the men would look. She glanced
about desperately. She saw but one
chance, the well. And even while the
door was swinging inward. letting the
brilliant sunshine enter, she sum-
moned up the courage and let herself
down into the well, which proved to
be nothing more nor less than an un-
derground river!
The men came in with rush. They
upset boxes, looked into the chest, and
the man who was evidently in COM
mand gazed down the well, shaking
his head. Their search was thorough,
but they found no one. And at length
they began to reason that perhaps a
woman had got as far as the door and
then turned away, walking on the
turf.
Meantime Florence was borne along
by the swift current Of the river, which
gained in swiftness every moment.
From time to time she bumped along
the rocky walls, but she chung to life
valiantly. In ten minutes she was
swept to the other side of the hill, in

Braine thought he really had a clue
to the treasure, and with his usual
promptness he set about to learn II IL
was worth anything. He procured q
launch and began to prowl about, US
ing a pole as a feeler. All the while
he was being closely watched by Nor
ton, who had concluded to hang onto;
Braine's trail till he found something
worthy of note. Braine was disguised,
but this time Jim was not to be fooled;
But what was he looking for, wondered
the reporter? Braine continued to-
pole along, sometimes pausing to look
over the gunwale down into the wa
ter. In raising his head after the last
investigation he discerned something
struggling In the water, about three
hundred yards away. The current
leisurely brought the object into full
view. 1t was a young woman with
just power enough to keep herself
afloat. The golden head reused some
thing in him stronger than curiosity.
1t might be! ..a.-..s
Braine proceeded to move the launch
in the direction of the girl. 1t was
this movement that turned the report
er's gaze. He, too, now saw the wom-
an In the water and wondered how
she had come there. When Braine
reached the girl and pulled her into
the launch Jim saw her face plainly.
He flew from his vantage point,
found q skiff, and started after Braine.

ments could be made, just re-
member these few facts:
That It is almost cleanup
time.
That the Get-Ready-for-the-
Fair association asked each
school boy anad girl to writo
such letter.
These letters aren't just gen.
eral criticism Of the town.
They're criticisms OF the child's
own yard.
And all this Is part Of COM
prehensive campaign. which Is de-
signed to clean up every yard In
Tacoma.
And then, Mr.. and Mrs. Taco
ma, and particularly Mrs. Taco
ma, here's a bunch. Seeing that
Johnny is so we'll Informed as to
the shortcomings of the yard, why
not let him clean II up In his own
way, unhindered and unaided?
That's what we'd call poetic JUS
tice!
And that isn't all, either;
painting and paperhanglng and
carpenter repair work are very
much in order.
Another part OF the campaign
which is receiving attention is
suggestion to the park board
that 1t take over some vacant, un-
slightly lot down town and show
what can be done In making 1t
over.
In private yards, the associa-
lions wants all tin cans and such
thrown away, leaves and dead
grass raked up, and the lawns
and flower beds put in shape for
the summer.
The campaign will last until
Arbor day.
