Suddenly she uttered a startled ex-
clamation which brought Bronson and
May Manning to her side. Her wan
features looked frightened and there
was look Of alarm in her eyes. She
handed the glasses to May.
"Be quick!" she said. "You see that
small cargo steamer lying at anchor
out there? A launch is approaching
it with man standing up in the stern.
Look at him and tell me who you think
it is"
Her astonished friend obeyed. She
adjusted the glasses and, in her turn,
uttered a half suppressed scream.
why, it's Hong Kong Harryv' she
whispered.
Il was sure 1t was he," said Mar
garet excitedly, "but I couldn't trust
my own eyes. And you have seen
him nearly as often as /. willard"
and she turned to her brother, do you
think you would recognize him?"
"If he was half burned vowed
Bronson eagerly, and he, too, peered
through the glasses.
There's not the slightest doubt
about it," he said after a prolonged
scrutiny. "This must be attended to
at once. You two keep sharp look
out while beat it to the phone"
Manning had just returned with the
translation Of Ali Singhs letter when
the telephone bell tangled on Kemp's
table. Soon the two men were made
aware Of Margaret's remarkable dis
covery. They promised to communi-
cate with Bronson as soon as their ar
rangements were perfected. While a
police launch was being got ready they
bent over the translated letter. 1t
read:
Judson is no more, and have now in
my possession tho exact formula Of quad
rnolite. 1t will be sent at once to the
Council of Ten. Owing to police activity,
shall take the utmost precautions. Prob
ably a reliable messenger will sail from

so highly strung by an unforeseen
stroke of good luck that their atten-
ton wandered for an instant from the
prisoner. The man was quick to take
advantage of it. He ducked, squirm-
ed like weasel and darted along a
gangway.
Without the slightest hesitation he
dived overheard. 1t happened by
chance that a drifting cloud tempo
rarily obscured the moon, and, al
though the two launches promptly
secured the sea in search of the fugi-
tive, they found no sign of him. In
deed, the general belief among the
men was that the wretch had struck
the chain of the anchor and had sunk,
never to rise again.

tramp steamers now in or near the port.
When and how this will be arranged fate
and my own care viii contrive.
A few minutes later Bronson told
that Hong Kong Harry had gone on
board the ship and climbed to the
bridge, where he and another man,
presumably the captain, were en-
gagged in close conversation. Some
thing changed hands. What it was
could not be determined at the dis
lance, but a reasonable hypothesis
suggested money. At any rate, Hong
Kong Harry soon took his departure,
re-entered the launch and. set forth
rapidly in the direction Of New York.
Kemp at once blazed instructions to
a downtown waterside station that
this launch should be picked up and
followed, but not intercepted. How
ever, the chase failed. No launch of
the supplied description entered either
the Hudson or the East river that aft
ernoon from the direction of Staten Is
land.
Manning and Kemp now laid their
plans with the utmost care. Not only
did couple of gunboats slip their
moorings unobtrusively, but enough
speedy launches were requisitioned by
the police to make it matter Of sheer
impossibility either for any one to
board the suspected ship without be-
ing seen or for the vessel herself to
avoid being overhauled if she sailed at
a mOnnant,S n0tico
About 10 o'clock at night a small
rowboat crept out Of the shadows and
approached the ships side. The throb-
bling engine of the launch which con-
tanned Manning, Bronson and Kemp,
together with score Of well armed po-
licemen, suggested the painting of
greyhound straining at the leash. But
Manning meant that there should be
no mistake this time. His we'll thought
out scheme was that the boat should
be allowed to disgorge It's passenger
and return close to the shore before be-
ing captured. Then when fear of pur-
suit would have died down in the
breast of Ali Singh's emissary quick
dash would put the party in control of
the ship, while launch on either side
would make sure that no one escaped.
z Every man in the party was agog
with anticipation when Kemp answer
ed New York police boatw in response
to hail from the vessel. Soon they
were scrambling up q ships ladder

had no means then Of realizing
the gravity of a situation that later
almost brought domestic ruin to this
man. When the ship reached Manila
his plight had become acute. He
openly confessed his love for me.
What was more terrible, he admit
ted being married and said that since
this new infatuation it would be i'm
possible for him to return to his wife
and children.
A vampire thus trusted with Sc
crets has many remedies for such
state of affairs. First of all she can

He ignored his wife from the day
the ship left San Francisco. Not a
word had been received by his chill
dren. Under this strange and utter
ly senseless spell the man brUtally
determined to abandon his family,
renoUnce domestic ties and cast him
self at the feet Of a screen star who
did not want him.
So I wrote my first letter to this
unwelcome admirer. And l wrote
other letters at intervals of three or
four days. In these I confess to hav-

The Genesis of the American lu
dian" IS the title of an important
scientific contribution made by Ales
Hrdllcka, Of the managing committee
Of the school Of American Archae-
ologN. The author considers the ques-
tion of the unity or plurality of the
I American race He decides in favor
OF the original unity of the Indian
race in America He bases his con
clusons upon the simiiarities of lan-
gaaee, culture, mentality and ply
that the Indian was autocthonous on
this continent. He bases this belief
upon the absence Of the inferior pri-
mates Of the anthropoid type on this
continent, also upon the unity of the
Ihuman species and that the primitive
types OF humanity living ia Europe
during the quarternary or glacial
epoch cotld mot have come from
America. According to the author no
human remains Of geological antiquity
have been demonstrated to exist on
this continent.
The author also considers the source
Of the elements that occupy America
and the epoch of occupation. The
author passes in review the means OF
transportation of prehistoric man.
The geographical situation of America
with respect 10 the other continents;
the anthropological characteristics OF
the American Indian, which compare
with the primitive characteristics of
the great ethnic groups OF the other
parts of the world. The author con
cludes from these considerations that
the American aborigines could have
come only from Asia. With respect
to the epoch, the author thinks that
no direct proof exists upon when
to base an opinion. Considerations
or proofs of an indirect character
tend toward the idea that emigration
to America could not have been ef-
feeted before the European Neoli-
thic period The manner or manners

MALONE SHIPS A

Responsible Farmer Indus
try Is Growing,

t.sfefSL cossIsroNpsNcs 10 soENind JOURNAL
Eoswel y. NJ. June %. Another
HE addition has been made TO the
dairy stock of the Roswell country.
Tom Malone has brought car load
m high grade Jerseys into the valley
ana the banks will assist the farmers
~ bny these cows, or other good ones,
which are available. The Purity
Creamery company has been fe-or-
ganize,l with a larger capital and is
now equipped to handle the output
from ten times the number of COWS
which are in The valley now.
prof n. w Latta, IN charge of
dairy work at the state college, has
left after a visit of several days here,
going over the situation with the
farmers ana pointing out to them the
aayantages of COWS on the farm. 1t IS
said that the Roswell section has the
beet start in the dairy business of any
section in the state and that condi-
lions are more nearly ideal here than
anywhere else.
Have Record Stock.
Tile one big advantage which has
been pointed out for Roswell is that
tho foundation stock is already here.
some of the best cows in the Jersey
and Holstcin breeds in America are
here and the young stock which is
coming on is being sent all over the
state. Most of the dairymen who have
the well bred stock have had more
demands for young stock than they
can supply but say they will send out
fhis fall some of the best young stuff
that has ever gone to dairy farms in
the southwest. The dairymen here
have worked together more or less
and have worked entirely on the plan
way at the milk pail. Breeding, beauty
and show points are secondary con-
siderations.
Dr. A. y. Grille, proprietor Of the
Manse herd Of Holsteins, recently re-
eeived additional cortificates for
entry in the Blue Book Of America.
Six Of his COWS now are in this class.
Meldrum Gray. owner of the Mes
calero Jerseys has two COWS which
during the past year have been right
at the top in production of milk
among the Jerseys in the United
States. He has number of cows in
the register of merit
Fairs Raise Standards.
These ratings are based entirely on
official tests conducted under the di-
rection of the dairy department of the
state college, and under the strictest
rules of the Hostein and Jersey as
sociations Of America.
There is an added interest IN the
dairy business said Malone here to-
day. and ] believe that this added
interest is due largely to the impetus
given the business by the state Live
stock and Products Exposition held
here during the past two years and
ana the state fair at Albuquerque last
year The farmers have seen better
COWS and learned to appreciate better
cows. Moreover they have raised
their standards as to what To expect
Of a dairy COW That's the kind Of
spirit which transforms a farming
community into a dairy community.
