But as he bent over he changed his

crept slowly out among the pitcher
plants. s~es-ching about him as though

In a few minutes he discovered what
he was looking for; took his bearings;

leafy crust that trembled under his
cautious tread.
He bsnt over Kloon and. from the
left inside coat pocket. he drew the
packet and placed It ins.de his own
flannel shirt.
Then. turning his back to the dead,
he squatted down and ciutched Kloon's
burly ankles, as a mar grasps the
handles of a w~heelbarrow to draw II
after him.

Always, as Leverett crept On, pull

the. woods trembled slightly, and a
black oose wet the crust Of withered
leaves.
At the quaking edge OF a little pool
OF water, Leyerett halted. The water
was dark but scarcely an inch deep
over its black bed Of silt.
Beside this sink hole the trap.thief
dropped Kloon. Then he drew his
hunting knife and cut a tail, slim
swamp maple. The sapling was about
twenty feet in height. Leverett thrust
the but Of It into the pool. Without
any effors he pushed the entire sap
ling out OF sight in the depthless silt.
He had to maneuver very gingerly
to dump Kloon nto the pool and keep
out of it himself. Finally he man
aged it.
To his alarm, Hloon did not sink
far. He cut another sapling and push.

visible above the silt.

MEXICAN RULINGS
PAVE WAY TOCAlN
US. RECOGNITION
Decision Removes Fear Of
Con6scation Of, Ameri-

The State Department Is redou-
bling its efforts to remove obstacles
in the way Of American recognition
of Mexico. And the obregon rov-
eminent has Just made an effort to
remove one of the obstacles by giv-
ing the State Department. the texts
of five decisions by the Mexican
Supreme Court, said to establish
definitely that article "a Of the Mex
lean constitution 10 nonretroactfvs.
While these decisions are not held
to be the main obstacle In the way
of recognition. nevertheless Il was
said. II upon examination. they are
found satisfactory. they. will have
removed the fear of confiscation or
American property by Mexico. Ar
tfcle 81 OF the Mexican constitution
provides that sub-soil rights Of ali
Mexican oil properties belong to the
government No assurances that
this article might not result In con-
fiscation OF American property had
ever been received. by the State De-
partment. These decisions are rep
resented as giving the required as
surances.
They were delivered to the de-
partment yesterday by Charge d'Af-
faires Tellez. of the Mexican EN-
bassy here. and the full force of
translators were at once set to work
on the documents. They will be
made public soon. II was said.
