GROCERY F|RN OWES GAIN TO
 FA|R TRADING

What can be accomplished by atten- tion to bushes and square dealing with customers. is no better evidence than in the growth of the wholesale gro., rl firm-the Goldman Grocery company which was incorporated in January 1915. The firm is located in the three stcry brick building at 116-122 West Adams street fronting 15O feet on Adams and running back the same distance.
 This firm IS the outgrowth of the Goldman company which began busi- ness in 1874 at Center and Washing ton streets While at that location the company did a wholesale and retail business, but the former part of their business grew so rapidly that in 1915 it reorganiZed and incorporated under the above name and since then has been devoting all of it's attention and energy into building up the wholesale business which has been making great gains each year. Its business extends over a large part of the state of Ari- zona. They have very large trade in the various mining districts in this part of the state.
 When the wholesale company was fo1lnud, j. T. Melczer purchased the III crest hl AldIlGS NOlOJlldI, tliG clli- cers of the company being now:
 Leo Goldman, president; Eugene D Goldman, vice president, and Mir. MelcZer, secretary and treasurer.
 The Goldman Grocery company is the exclusive distributor for Gold Medal flour Libby's canned fruits and vegetables, National oats and num- Der of other high class products They make a speciality of the highest grade goous and also handle the same qual- fly in candies, cigars and tobacco, many brands of which they are the exclusive distributors.
 Eugene Goldman, of the company, states that he is very optimistic re- garding the business future in this state. He says the mines were never so prosperous or busy, that the rich farming country in the Salt River val ley enables growers to raise anything that will grow anywhere and much that cannot be grown in such rich quanti- ties or as frequent crops as in this valley. Farmers are getting a good price for their products and the fact that Arizona is a productive rather than a manufacturing state, productive of the necessaries of life, both vege- table and mineral leads him to the be- lief that Arizona will not feel the ill effects of the war, if there are any, so much as other localities.

 The interest taken in these ad dresses by Dr. Von hleinSmid is constantly increasing as the tour of the state continues. The size of the audiences that assemble to hear the president of the state university talk on thls most vital subject is limited cniy y the capacity of the halls in which they are held. Dr. von Klein Smids reputation as a public speaker of eloquence and force is being aug mented even more on this present tour.

sprang lightly through the breach,
Instantly loop of stout lines set
tied over her head and shoulders, pin
ming both her arms to her sides, An
other followed it and another, half
bitches thrown with deft expertness.
Before she could utter the cry that
choked her throat she was bound and
helpless in the power of sullen ruff
fan who was deaf to tears and prayers,
and proceeded calmly to rope the girl
to the back of heavy chair, and then,
knelt to strike a match and light
n sputtering fuse. This done, he moved
quickly out into the adjoining cellar.
She needed almost a minute before
she comprehended her danger.
Then the vault echoed with her
screams, answered by voices from be-
yond the steel door to the underground
passage, where Ryley and his associ-
ates were at work with the acetylene
torch.
But however rapidly it worked it
could not possibly be swift enough to
compass Patria's salvation.
OF sudden the girl stilled her cries.
In her struggles she had freed one
hand from its bonds. And in the pocket
of her coat, convenient to that hand
lay the dainty little revolver she had
on impulse snatched up on leaving her
boudoir in Newport the night before.
There was just a chance. She was
fair shot, and the fuse was slow-burn-

Working the weapon with great diff

best she might and fired.
Twice she missed. But the third bull
let struck the fuse fairly and snapped
it in twain.
Then the revolver slipped from her
nerveless grasp and she sank back un-
conscious in her bonds.
Thus Ryley and the others found her
when, some ten minutes later, they at
length broke through the steel door.
The open air of the garden revived
her. BY the time a cab had been called
she had recovered sufficiently to appre-
ciate that Captain Parr had disap-
peared.
Her last instructions to Ryley were
simple and direct:
"The money doesn't matter. But
never rest till you've found Captain
Parr!"
THE SANDAL.
Luck Of sort played into the hands
Of Captain Parr that morning. He
found no difficulty about trailing three
heavy-laden moving vans across the
lower West side to the waterfront,
Gilpin observer., 1917-08-30

where he arrived in time even to see
the last of the vans, now empty, whip
briskly out of pier shed and up the
street.
Delaying only long enough to note
the license number of the vehicle, he
darted briskly into the pier shed and at
discretion lost himself among Its
shadows; in which business luck-Of u
sort-again was with him. For he
barely escaped being spotted by two
particularly grim and repulsive look
ing young Japanese, who had appar-
emily been posted near the entrance for
the express purpose of preventing es-
pionage.
1t was busy place, a-roar with the
activities of multitude of longshore-
men. On either side steamers were
taking in cargo, with every indication
of FURIOUS effort to get finished with
the job and away. But which was
which? Aboard one the Claiming ''pre-
paredness" fund had been slowed and
presently would be outward bound:
Presently n lull fell in the sound
and fury of cargo loading on one side
of the pier. Preparations were made
to take In the gangplanks. Dock labor
ers concerned themselves with the
cables that moored the vessel. Its deep
throated whistle blasted warning
once, twice, and again. Down the
pier ran alertly the two japanese who
had stood guard near its entrance. As
they jumped aboard the last gangplank
was withdrawn. The vessel began to
sheer away from the pier.
Parr fastened to the nearest opening
and waited there till, overhead, an
open cargo port in the ships painted
flank moved past. At peril Of his life
he leaped, caught the lower lip of the
opening, and scrambled aboard, to find
himself in 'tween-decks gloom-and
definitely committed to the most des-
perate adventure of his history.
1t seemed impossible that he could
have escaped observation. Yet, mp
pnrently, he had; and that despite the
fact that, not far distant, n number of
efficient deadly little japanese deck
hands were busy slowing cargo Mt the
behest of n boatswain.

conversation of the deckhands, he
learned all he needed to know---discov-

EPISODE THREE
"Winged Millions"

When, some thirty minutes later, Pa
tria Charming and Captain Parr re-
entered the walled garden they were no
more alone; three men accompanied
them, plain citizens all, Of manner and
appearance so little romantic that the
girl found 1t somewhat difficult to ac-
cept them for what they really were,
on the word of Captain Parr-highly
efficient operatives of the United States
secret service.
None but would have been readily
lost in a crowd; and he whom Parr pre-
sented as Mr.. Ryley, his most valued
co-wOrker in the service, possessed a
personality so colorless and unassum-
ing that he might have moved unques-
toned In almost any stratum Of society.
Yet 1t was this one who took over tenn
pOrary charge of the treasure with the
utmost sang froid-for all the world as
though he were asked to safeguard n
hundred cents instead of hundred
millions Of dollars.
Though by this time the firemen had
extinguished the flames, the first and
second stories OF the house were a
smoking, steaming mass of wreckage
that precluded utterly any attempt to
examine the approach to the treasure
vault via the library. Police still
watched in front of the house and
would, Ryley guaranteed, till the last
Of the treasure had been removed
through the garden.

Approving this arrangement, Patrla

"And now" she said with weary lit
tie smile, ''you may take me to break
fast for I'm furnished. And I'll call
Newport on long distance and soothe
Aunt Amelia down and get her to
send my maid in with something
else for me to wear"
After breakfast they TAXED back to

fore her scheduled sailing date; that

tance (but these were not named) and
cargo consisting of arms and ammu-
milton for the Carranzista forces final
ly, that treasure of vast value had
been brought aboard at the last mo-
ment and stored in strongly guarded
stateroom in the officers quarters.
AS the freighter drew out to mid
stream and began to drop down the
river the deckhands trotted off on other
business and left the stowaway to d.
gest, his information and formulate his
plans.
The last proved no easy matter.
What one man could be expected to ac-
complish against shipload was rid
die that baffied PARIS wits for the best
part of a long hour, Satisfied that the
Charming treasure had been brought
aboard the Sandal" and quite ready
to believe that Baron Huroki and his
pet Mexican, SenOr Juan de Lima, had
not been actively concerned in its theft
but had sailed in charge of it, he still
failed to puzzle out any feasible way to
inform the authorities and cause the
detention of the freighter and the ar
rest of the thieves without sacrificing
the neck of Donald Parr.
Huddled in the shelter Of the bales,
the young man commanded a view
through the cargo port; and his
thoughtful gaze had long been fixed up
on that breadth Of harbor water slip

fore he distilled an inspiration from its
hue.
And even as ne began to take cogni-
zance of the fog, Parr heard the Jingle
of signals in the enginerOOm below his
hiding place. And Immediately the
pulsings of the engines ceased. For
little the sandal" drifted with stead
lily slackening way. Then the anchor
was dropped, with chain roaring
through hawse-holes, and the freighter
settled down to wait the lifting of the
fog.
In this combination of circumstances
Parr thought to see his chance. The
ship could not be far from land; and
he was strong swimmer. If he could
slip unseen over the side and win to
the shore, or even to friendlier ves-
sells decks.
With every precaution, he stole out
to the main deck and-was instantly
espied by barefooted little monkey of
sailor, whose shrek of warning rang
out the instant his vision comprehend
ed the face of stranger.
Failing in an attempt to gain the side

took flight to the bridge deck by way
of most convenient cOmpaniOn-lad-
der; but gaining 1t only to find his
plight nothing bettered; willing little
assassins made toward him from fore
and aft the moment he appeared.
His next resort was one of despera-
tiOn. Charging through stateroom
door half open to the deck, he slammed,
bolted 1t, and swung round to find him
self in the wireless room. confronted by
japanese operator who seemed to
lack something of the readiness of his
fellows, since he failed to recover from
his surprise before Parr had him cov-
cred with his automatic.
Blows on the panels of the door were
sounding as Parr backed the little
brown man into his chair and with n
significant gesture of the pistol COM
manded:
"Take my dictation! And, mind you,
no shenanlgan! l can read your send

The operator nodded; his slender,
deft fingers gripped keys and switches.
His eyes he kept steadfast to the face
Of the American while the Inter die
tated, and the crash and crackle of the
spark filled the narrow space with
false thunder.
When n shattered port behind PARIS

through the opening stamped cold
ring on his temple, he stopped dictat-

both hands.
At the same time the little wireless
operator lunged forward from his
chair, clipped PARIS waist with two
slnewy arms, and bore him to the floor.

1t was mid-nfternoon when Patria's
maid answered Il knock ut the door and
brought back to the semi-dlstracted
girl an envelope of the Marconi COM

Tearing 1t open, Patria read hastily
an unfinished message:
