fast and quite exhausted by their long
run, they came alongside the Lakes
and Lamar just as Max reached the
outstanding parasol in the sands.
June almost sobbed aloud in sudden
relief. The parasol ferrule was stand
ing an inch deep in water. The tide
had crept in. Natures plying hand
had sponged out the tell-tale hand
writing in the sands.
Tit was here!" Mrs. Lake was ex-
planning, tearfully. "Just right here,
Mr.. Lamar. And-and now the tides
washed it all away. How horrid!"
Lamar had not come empty-handed
to Surfton. That evening he called on
June. AS they sat in a window nook
in the library of the cottage, he said:
Il have a surprise for you, Miss
Travis. I meant to tell you about it
this morning. But all that excitement
about the monkey and the mysterious
writing on the sand, drove it out of my
mind"
He held up a pearl pendant that
dangled from slender gold chain. At
sight of it, June cried out in joy:
"Oh, my pearls!" she exclaimed, rap
turously "My beautiful pendant that
was stolen!"
II told you how we found the Jewels
Alma La Sale stole at the ball." said
Max. II recognized this pendant. And
I got leave to bring it back to you at
once"

to thank you as I ought tor
''By letting me put the pendant back
where it belongs" he answered, his
eyes agiow.
With an embarrassed laugh she held
out the chain to him. Almost rever-
emily he took it; rose,and stepped be-
hind her. Caressingly, he placed the
pendant chain about her soft white
throat, taking an unduly long time in
closing the catch that fastened the
trinket In place.
He was standing behind her. Be-

which he had fired. Patrolman O'Hara,
| charging along the alley to REINFORCE
Lamar, was so unfortunate as to catch
the ball in the calf of the leg. He
spIawled headlong.
Most decidedly this was not O'Hara's
lucky night.
Sam, aiming with better judgment,
pulled the trigger again. The hammer
fell with a click upon an exploded car
fridge. The pistol was empty. Throw
ing it away, he took to his heels.
Lamar followed at racing speed,
hating only now and then to fire.

Once he completely lost him, and was
about to give up the chase, when a
glimpse of something black, silhouet-
ted against the skyline and moving
heavily, like a wounded bull, set him
off in hot chase again.
By this time they had left the vii
lage behind them. Sam, running with
no sense Of direction, found himself
at the shoreward base of the ridge

cliffs. .-s--
Up the ridge he scrambled, grunting

Up the ridge toiled Eagan, seeking
some cavern or rift of rock wherein

he worked his way.
Clambering as nimbly as cat, La.

was when SSm, gaining the summit,

continued his swift climb.
Sam, gradually recovering his breath,
heard stone rattle just beneath him.
He wheeled about, as Lamar bounded
up to the fiat summit-rock beside him.
No word was spoken. Breath was
too scant and too precious for that.
The two men sprang at each other.
Unarmed, forced to rely on natures

with thudding shock that sent them
both to the ground.
Gripping each other i'm murderous

He stuck the pistol into his belt
and went forward to where the inert
body lay. Hesitatingly he turned the
huge, lifeless bulk over on it's back
and stopped to feel the heart
And in the very same moment the
murdered man came to life.
Patrolman O'Hara felt himself
clutched by sinewy, thick hand,
whose fingers dug deep into his throat.
Eagan, with his other hand, wrenched
the pistol from O'Hara's belt and
transferred it to his own pocket.
Then, with both hands and arms and
legs. he proceeded to grip the dunn
founded officer and lay him fiat and
helpless on his back.

see things in new light. The Ad-
ministration bill calls for only four
capital ships, and the entire program
within five years would not place the
United States third. even if the coun-
tries at war should not continue their

Because of the deficit in the treas

presentation of these figures to force
the program to six capital ships this
