Q, it was horrible, I've been nervous ever since. l knew in a minute that it was crocodile or an alligator or some thing terrible like that, and I called for help and made for the shore-the farthest shore-because he was be- tween me and the near shore"

 He was about three or five feet long, maybe longer, maybe shorter. But I saw his head, and his tail and I'm sure 1 saw his eyes gleam." Here shudder swept over the gathering.

Have you seen the crocodile?


 My dear, if you haven't seen the crocodile, you should. For it's the grandest sensation, especially if at the time of sighting him you are paddling in the water and he rises stealthily to the surface between you and the shore, takes a look about, yawns, catches sight of you and winks mischieviously, then flaps his tail viciously and dives right at your ahem, limbs.
 Over on the Salt River it is all the go now to go for a dip of an evening and come home with hearts aflutter after having seen the crocodile. That he is there cannot be doubted, for he was seen not later than 9:03 o'clock Friday evening by the following girls Jennie Hudgins, Isabelle Irwin, Kath- erine Stearns, and Margarite Cate, all prominent young women of Phoenix whose veracity is beyond the shadow of question. Whether or not he is a perfectly nice young crocodile or one given to the tickle habit of winking at young women bathers is all a matter of opinion, but the rair-raising tail as seen and described by the girls is as follows:
 We were calmly bathing in the Salt River near the old pumping plant on Friday evening about g o'clock" said Jennie Hudgins.
 All of sudden, without the slight est warning, Isabelle here"
 Tt wasn't I,' broke in the accused it was 'Marg' ".

 There is citizen in Arizona who is not as fully aware of all this the president And that they understood proved by the circumstance that they restrained themselves for three weeks from taking the law into their hands. They contemplated it the outset with the grave apprehension the pres- dent felt Friday But what else could they do at last? The law in their hands the only law that could be enforced.

A FINE REMUNERATION

sessed the chemical formula. Adams,
for reasons of his own, hid the docu-
ment in his military belt. He thought
that he alone knew where IL had been
secreted.
To Major Brent the southern detail
was q most welcome one, for he looked
upon it as an opportunity to be re-
lleved of the constant persecution of
Bertha Bonn who seldom let a day
pass without making an effort to be-
guile him and finally threatened to
expose their affair to Pearl Dare.
AS well may be imagined, therefore,
when on leaving Washington on the
long overland journey, Brent ran
across the girl on his train and discov-
cred that she also was bound for the
Granadian frontier, his rage knew no
bounds. He became possessed OF one
idea-how to evade her forever.
The circumstances were more than
startling when that way opened. His
party had arrived and were domiciled
at Fort Gordon, a military post Of
strategic value, adjacent to the COM
munity Of Paso del Norte. He had
gone to the hotel to prevent a meet
ing between Pearl and Bertha, which
the latter had succeeded in conniving
for that night.
Seated at a corner table In the rude
basement bar, Brent bolstered his
courage with a julep.
Brent was In the act Of lighting a
cigarette when a faint shadow crept
upon the wall In front of him and a
soft, purring voice in foreign accents
whispered in his ear:
'Do not turn, senior. 1t would be
dangerous. You desire to efface Ber-
tina Bonn from your life; eh, senior?
Ahl That will be easy and at no In
convenience to the major. 1t will hap
pen tonight, If the senior officer, who
desires the coloneIs daughter to for
get forever about Captain Payne will
follow the written directions"
The voice ceased. The shadow faded.
Brent sat as still as stone for a sec
ond. When he looked about no one
was within immediate talking distance.
He put on his hat, paid his bill.
and stepped outdoors. Here he almost
ran over a little halfbreed girl, who,
to his surprise, thrust into his hand a
nosegay and quickly disappeared

DISCUSSES and positions OF security.
Events thickened. Fretted by our
alien laws, the Orient. whose glittering
eyes were fastened upon our Asiatic
possessions, kept us In constant ex-
pectancy. With Canada, our northern
neighbor, we had no difficulty except
that by her we were not regarded
with the old-time frlendliness; rather
were we In disfavor because of our
neutral position with all powers then
at war in Europe, of which her mother
country was one. On our southern ex-
posture we were always In hot water (;
and now added fire had been heaped
under the troublesome diplomatic
kettle and Granada was boiling.
AS precautionary measure Colonel
Dare and his staff were detailed south
to quietly establish base patrols on the
Granadian frontier and meet and con-
fer with the American consul, whose
passports had been handed TO him by
the Granadian government. Miss Pearl
Dare, with Toxic and the big touring
car, accompanied them.
To Orderly Adams, ii must be adj
mitted, the orders to go south came
as though they had been long expected,
and he prepared. AS soldier he had
developed with remarkable aptitude
and was eager to see real service. AS
a private individual, so far as his open
conduct was concerned, the confidence
Of the Dares seemed to have been war
ranted. Unknown to anyone, however,
except the foreign alliance, Adams
was really not what he represented
himself to be, or at least was open to
serious doubts as to the patriotic side
of his character. For Adams was the
possessor of the secret canal-defense
plans. This undergraduates
military document was in the slim, OBJ
long packet brought to him by Bertha
Bonn in the committee room of Sena-
tor Warfeld. 1t came from the foreign
alliance, who, by their own error,
thought they had sent him copy,
when too late realizing their mistake,
for the ink In the plans had faded en-
tlrely, rendering them illegible until
another chemical application could be
made. This, for the time being, IL was
impossible to do because no one pos

return unframed and he yours forever.
Meanwhile, Bertha Bonn will disappear"
Brent leaped upon his horse and sent
for Adams as soon as he arrived at
the fort.
LET me have your belt sir" he de-
manded when the latter appeared.
There was nothing to do but obey
the superior officer.
When he was alone Brent scruti|
nized the belt with great care. 1t did
not seem to differ in any respect from
the common article. Afterwards he
sent for Pearl, with whom he had
long and serious talk.
That evening Pearl set out alone on
horseback, laughingly refusing an
escort and stating that she did not in
tend to go far or be absent long. In
the holster of Adams belt, which Ma
jor Brent insisted upon adjusting
around her waist, was a loaded re-
volver. Toxic was to fetch Bertha Bonn
about the hour fixed for her return.
Twilight deepened into darkness.
She dug the spurs into the TANKS of
her mare so as TO reach her destina-
ton quickly for she was eager to ac-
complish her errand. Suddenly the
mare stumbled and fell, throwing her.
She rose unhurt. The mare, however,
lay wrlthlng with broken leg. Pearl
drew her revolver and shot the mare.
She realized that she was alone in
an unknown country. Yet she was
not alarmed, even when, after dis
charging her revolver in the air, no
sign of assistance appeared. Present
ly there did appear light moving rap
idly and drawing nearer every sec
ond. After an interval, an automobile
hove in sight. Toxic was at the wheel
in the rear sat Miss Bonn.
In that same instant Orderly Adams
rode toward her like mad, and there
doomed out of the shadows body of
horsemen intent upon doing harm.
Pearl was lifted by two powerful arms
and tossed upon saddle in front of a
huge and evil-eyed foreigner. A fu-
sillade OF shots followed, a blanket
was thrown over her head. and she
could neither see nor hear more.
At the end of half-hour Of hard
riding she was seized from the horse,
