get "a present to send those people.
Mother suggests that we give them a

Maps Out Course
This posse, whose names are signed
to this, came out and found the foot.
prints, which are marked, and ac-
cording to the scale run nine miles
from the mountain which they tell me
is Niggerhead mountain, to the city of
! Aqua Prieta. They have crosses indi1
eating the footprints.
| SISTER" someone said, why don't
you give that to the papers and have
them print it?"
| 1 didn't think they wanted that side
of the story. Perhaps later L will.
! Here are the footprints. Here is the
little shack. Here are the footprints
/ again, and from this point by the
mountain we could not find the foot
prints again. 1 was unable to tell
whether / went to the right or the
left, this way or that BY that time
I. was so weary and7 dazed that l
hardly knew where I was going.
! 1t has been reported by police Off
GERS. though I cannot speak for the
J exactness of that report, that whilL
searching for my footprints they came
upon, among other things, two stills
that they did not know were there.
| Thank God for that, anyway! You
| see, sometimes there are things that
the police do not know about.
{; You know you have to go 80 to 81
); miles around mountains and hills IL,
! order to get some Is miles driving
car.
| Finally on our trip we came to this
little ranch house. did not notice the
place ira which. 1 was held captive
from the outside.
When i left L had no time to admire
architecture or landscaping. I was
in hurry when I got out!
We looked around from the auto
mobile but could not seem to see any
thing familiar. This splendid posse
went back and three miles from the
place near the mountain they again
picked UP the footprints, which would
approximately u13 miles from Aqua
Prieta. AS near as they could tell by
careful examination the footprints
were identical with those traced out
of Aqua Prieta.
This is their own report. The white
line shows the automobile tracks OF
two cars, one seeming to be heavier
than the other one, which is just as l
thought they were. They wanted me
to stay a day or two longer there to
identify anything they might find
but 1 felt 1 must get back to the
work here and attend to the bigger
things.
There was one place with room
that looked so very familiar; but E
felt 1 wanted to be absolutely sure.
The house was occupied, but the in
mates told us, through an interpreter,
that that particular room had been
rented and that the people had left
only eight days before.
Tells About Drink

and I praise God for it.
SISTER, darling" some are saying.
haven't you any sense? Don't you
realize that anybody clever enough to
plan that crime could do away with a
shack and any evidence?'
HdI lS true, anu lHlHh lluSl
have been pretty close the last trip
made, for 1 have been notified that
if we go over into Mexico any more
to search for the shack we will be ar
rested. That means 1 have been prac-
tically forbidden to go back over the
line That looks like the search was
getting near to the place.
Sister, what was that about a drink
of water?"
That just shows you must be so
careful of every worG. I said that
last day when 1 went out that if there
was any question about my tongue
being swollen and my lips cracked, |
would willingly go without water or
walk the same length of time.
