Through that passion of many an

Francisco sought fortune in the New
World, as Governor of the province
of New Galicia in Mexico. But in
the capital city he fell in love with
the daughter of the Viceroy Mendoza
and fell afoul of one Gorgoza. head
of the military and police, and the
villain of the plot. To Coronado in
New Galicia came an old Indians
tale of a remote country of untold
riches, bag of jewels long boarded
by the ancient narrator proving to
be the evidence in the case. This led
Coronado to a search at the head of
an army of adventurers for the
Seven Cities of Cibola, places con-
ceived to be Of fabulous wealth by
the self-deluded Spaniards.
The cities of Cibola, which we take
to be the cliff dwellers' towns of the
Southwest, proved to be barren OF
wealth but cost Coronado dear in the
taking in loss of men. Then he wan

route taking him into what is now

of a wicked British war profiteer,

the heroine is about to marry him,

There is q noble, handy young man,

course, assorted sleuths. 1t has a
touch of novelty in the fact that the
professional detective, a Scotland

human intelligence; he is, in fact,
the most nearly human person in the
