HOW THE SALMON TRAVELS
Observer Tells of Fish's Action When
II Starts to Ascend a
Waterfall.

Scientists as well as Iaymen tell ex-
traOrdinary stories OF the wonderful
leaps whereby salmon ascend water
falls. One investigator, who has stud
led the salmon Of southeastern Alaska,
asserts that these fish do not select
a particular point Of attack in en-
deavOring TO SurmOunt a fall.
They show a remarkable lack of &C
curacy as well as Of definiteness. in
their movements. When trying TO
ascend a fall they sail through the
air, with the body rigid and the fins
spread and held tense, and at the in
slant when the momentum of the jump
is lost they impart a rapid and power
full vibration Of the tail. This oc-
ours whether the jump IS successful Of
not.
Should the fish reach water at the
top OF the fall this motion insures the
maintenance of its position In open
water they jump sidewise instead of
lengthwise, and there is no movement
of the tail.

CHAPTER K.
o'ReiIIy's Plans Fail.

In the days that followed his call on
Ignacio AIvarado, O'ReiIIy behaved so
openly that the secret service agent
detailed to watch him relaxed his vigi--
lance. NanifestIy this O'ReilIy was
q harmless person. But the spy did
not guess how frantic Johnnie was be-
coming at the delay, how he inwardIy
chafed and fretted when two weeks
had rolled by and still no signal had
come. Then. too, his money was run
ming low
At last, however. the day arrived
when the man with the gray necktie
raised his hat and wiped his brow as
he passed the Isla de Cuba. Johnnie
could scarcely hold himself in his
chair By and by he rose, stretching
himself. and sauntered after the fell
low For several blocks he kept him
in sight, but without receiving any
further sign.
Without a glance over his shoulder
the man turned into large, walled In
closure. When Johnnie followed he
found himself in one of the old GENE
teries. Ahead of him, up shady ave
nue. bordered with trees. the stranger
hurried; then he swerved TO his left,
and when O'Reilly came TO the point
where he had disappeared there was
nobody in sight Apprehending that
he had made some mistake in the sig
nal, O'ReiIIy FASTENED down the walk.
Then at last, to his great relief, he
heard a sibilant:
"Psstl Psst :"
IT came from behind q screen of
shrubbery, and there he found the Gu
ban waiting. 7he latter began rap
idly:

The Gay OF days daWned at last, and
Johnnie was early at Manin's soda
fountain. drinking insipid beverages
and anxiously watching the street. In
due time the negroes appeared, their
straw sarOns laden with produce which
they innOcentIy disposed of. O'Reilly
began to consult his watch with such
frequency that the druggist joked him.
Manin's banter was interrupted by
bugle call Down the street came per

O'ReilIy tried to compose himself,
meanwhile becoming aware OF a grow
ing excitement in the street Then
from the direction Of the fort at the
end Of San Rafael street sounded a
faint rafting fusillade, more bugle
calls, and finally the thin, distant
shouting Of men.

A light Of reason slowly reappeared

''You must wait until" He broke
off abruptly and stepped behind his
counter, for a man in the uniform Of

around the place he spoke in a voice
