trees were everywhere about the farm,
which had grown up In regular sap

ruinous state-clapboards hanging
loosely, roofs dotted by gaping holes,

Leaving the car, Gramont, followed
by the chauffeur, went to the front

Hammond grinned widely.

Gramont left the house, and headed
down toward the bayou shore.
He took a letter from his pocket,
opened 1t. and glanced over II anew. II
was an old letter, one written him
nearly two years previously by Lucle
Ledanols. It had been written mere
ly In the endeavor TO distract the
thoughts OF wounded soldier, to
bring his mind to Louisiana, away
from the stricken fields of France In
the letter Lucle had described some Of
the more interesting features of Bayou
TerrebOnne-the oyster and shrimp
fleets, the Chinese and Filipino vii
lagos along the gulf, the far-spread
cypress swamps: the bubbllng foun-
tains, natural curiOsltles, that broke
up through the streams and bayous OF
the whole wide parish-fountalns that
were caused by gas seeplng up from
the earth's interior, and breaking
through.
Gramont knew that plans were al
ready afoOt to tap this field OF natural
gas and pipe II to New Orleans. Oil
had been found, too, and all the state
was now oIl-mad. Fortunes were be-
Ing made daily, and other fortunes
we're being lost daily by those who
dealt with oil stocks instead OF with
oil.
"Those gas fountains did the work !"
reflected Gramont. "And according to
this letter there's one OF those f0un-
talns here In the bayou. close to her
property. Just opposite the dock she
says. The first thing is to find the
dock. then the fountain. After that,

Gramont came to the bayou and be-
gan searching his way along the thick
and high fringe OF bushes and sapllngs
that girded the waters edge. Present
ly he came upon the ruined evidences
of what had once been small boat

Fear Effect
Radicals in u. S.
on Soviet Relief

New York, Feb. 1.-THE activities
OF certain organizations in the United
States in behalf of Russian relief
eventually will embarrass the Soviet
government in its efforts to obtain
recognition. George Barr Baker a di-
rector of the American Relief Admin
istration declared tonight. He re-
turned Wednesday from Russia,
where he investigated the admins
trations' activities, spending ten days
in Moscow.
There are radical organizations in
the United States" Mr.. Baker as
serted in formal statement, which
do not seem to realize that the worst
dlsservice they can do the Russian
people is to maintain the antagon-
ism against them in America, and
thereby to hamper the natural flow of
relief funds from the people of the
United States.
ANY organization in this country
purporting to represent the present
Russian government in relief work
in a large way will be discovered
soner or later. to be causing that GOV
ernment some embarrassment. What
they want most is recognition and
the attacks made here simply nut it
back that much"
