The narrowest street in the
United States is said to be Treas
ury street in st. Augustine, Fla. II
is 6 feet 1 inch wide. This street
was shown as a street on the map
Of st. Augustine in 1887. and
called Treasury street because the
old treasury was on the corner Of
this cross street and st. George

through it, and stone was placed
at the entrance on Bay street to
prevent this. The old treasury

CHAPTER XII
To the Rescue

Babe and Martin stood staring at
each other across a dead telephone.
"What do you suppose made her
voice sound so funny?" Babe asked.
"Sure 1t was hers, are your" he shot
at her.
"Oh," cried Babe disgustedly, "don't
know Reds voice? Look here, have
you really got anything on your mind,
or are you just generally cuckoo
about her, l mean?"
"I've got that Cleveland woman on
my mind" he answered, "and a man
named G. ]. Forster, who wants to get
hold of her pretty badly, and don't
know why. He's been advertising for
her and somehow or other has man.
aged to find her."
Babe asked, rather tensely, how he
knew.
ut was Forster" he told her, "who
brought you two down to work this
morning In his limousine. Where did
he pick you up? Just as you were
leaving the building here?"
She answered with nod. II guess
it's my fault, if anything's happened"
she said, pretty humbly for Babe II
know how he found her, all right.
You see, / answered his ad myself.
He telephoned one in, the morning
after Max had brought me home. Max
had asked me that night If her real
name wasn't Rhoda Mcfarland. l
took the ad over the phone and got
Forster's name and address. I'd tried
to get Red to answer it the night be-
fore but she wouldn't. It said some
thing to her advantage and thought
it probably was. So called him up
at lunch time at the Worcester and
told him if he'd write her a letter,
care of me, I'd forward it to her. I
didn't see how that gave her away, but
it must have, somehow. I suppose
you'd like to beat me up for butting
in like that"
He patted her shoulder instead.
TITS no use worrying about that now
he said. I'm glad you told me. It's
between him and the Cleveland wom-
an, then. They are fighting each other,
that's one good thing. But one of
them has got her, somehow. If that
had been a plain broken connection
she'd have called again. :"
The telephone bell interrupted him.
Babe was nearer and caught up the
instrument before he could get to it.
"Red!" she cried, sis that your"
But it wasn't Rhoda. Babe was
looking rather puzzled NO." Martin
heard her say. "She hasn't come back
yet. We're expecting her. :. This
is her friend, Babe Jennings.-Say,
who Is this?"

of his talk wasn't right. The man
wasn't speaking for himself. He was
being prompted. This meant, Of
course, that he wasn't Forster but was
impersonating him under orders from
some one else. The other strange
thing was that his voice was one that
Martin half recognized; felt, at least,
that he ought to be able to recognize.
II don't much want to talk about it
over the telephone" Martin said, and
then added casually-"and don't
believe you do, either"
Evidently they-whoever they were
at the other end-had to go into con-
ference over this remark, for it pro-
duced quite a silence. Finally the
man who said he was Forster asked,
"Who are you? What's your manner"
On Martins telling him he said: "If
you've really got anything to say you
can have your interview. But you'll
have to tell me what it's about"
Its about" said Martin, "the dis
appearance of Miss Rhoda Mcfarland.
Do I get my interview"
There was long silence at that.
Evidently they were having an argu-
ment about it.
Nothing doing" the voice said at
last. II don't<know that she's disap.
peared./ don't know that there's
any such person"
"You don't want to say, then, why
you've been advertising for herr"
The only answer he got to that ques-
ton was a click which meant that the
other receiver had been slammed
down on the hook. So Martin hung
up, too, and left the booth.
The first thing to find out was the
number of Forster's apartment, and
of course, the obvious way would be
to walk UP to the desk and ask the
clerk. But instincively he SHE'D at
that. Forster was no ordinary tran
silent guest here. A man as rich as
he was, and permanently domiciled
here, would have special defenses.
You wouldn't be able to mention his
name without starting something. The
better way would be to drift into
casual talk with somebody, bell hop
or the girl who sold theater tickets,
lead up to his question and ask it idly.
But it wasn't so easy as it looked,
to frame that question so 1t would
sound casual. And II he failed, if his
question reused suspicion. he'd be
worse off than If he'd gone straight to
the clerk in the first place.
His gaze was questing about the
lobby, noting everything that every
body did, studying faces In the hope Of
finding one dull and friendly and I'M
suspicious enough to suit his purpose.
The man who had just come down
in one of the elevators and now stood
talking to the captain hadn't a face
like that; very much the contrary, in
fact, bleak and rocky as chunk of
the great American desert and he
talked as If he were biting Off the
heads Of finishing nails.
Martin stared at him, regardless of
the risk Of catching his eye, until, in
his own minds eye. he had put derby

Explorers Find Water ssDesert" n Pncific Ocean,
 Where Epen Fish Might Perish in Osygenless Seas

the "oxygenless'' water, or rather, water of a very low oxygen con- tent, the latest discovery among ocean peculiarities.
 Oxygenless means lack of dis solved oxygen, that is, of oxygen from the air, and does not refer to the composition of water, each par ticle of which consists of two par ticles of hydrogen and one particle of oxygen.
 pr. Moberg, one of the scientists to discover the. oxygen-deficient waste while aboard the yacht Car negie, says it is not certain that fish could live in this water.
 This layer of nearly oxygenless water, which has thickness of about 1,500 feet and occurs at 300 or more feet below the surface, is considered another indication of the lake-like character of the up- per water strata of the mid Pacific.
 Oxygen enters the sea at its sur- face, and the amount dissolved de- pends chiefly upon temperature, but also upon pressure and the action of waves and wind.
 The ability of the water to dis solve or retain oxygen decreases as the water becomes warmer and consequently more oxygen daS- solves in the polar regions than in the tropics.
 Since oxygen travels through water at an extremely slow rate only narrow layer at the surface receives this gas directly from the atmosphere. To other depths oxygen is carried by water currents.

Plans Prepared for l8-foot Standard Highway
 Work Starts Soon

Two hundred thousand. dollars have ! been set up by the United States Forest Service, from the For est Highway Fund, for reconstruc- ton of the Juneau -Thane unit of the Glacier Highway system, &C., cording to an announcement made yesterday. Work will be launched this summer.
 Plans for the work have been completed, said M. ID. Williams, District Engineer of the United States Bureau of Public Roads. They have been forwarded for ap- proval, to division headquarters at San Francisco. :
 18-Foot Standard Road
 The plans call for the construc- ton of an 18-foot standard high way. the first of that width ever to be built in the Territory. The route will follow approximately the pres- ent right-of- of the old Thaf1e Road until the causeway at Thane is reached. At that point the new route will follow the bench above the machine shops, eliminating the trestle work that would be neces- sary by sticking to the beachline. It is expected the plans will be back here about the middle of this month. Advertisements for bi6s will then be issued, and opened about the end of June.

 LA JOLLA, Cal. There are deserts" in the waters of the Pa cific Ocean as truly as there are deserts on land.
 Existence of the watery wastes is brought to light in recent inves- tigations by Dr. E. G. Moberg of the Scipps Institution of Ocean, ography and members of the Car negie Institution of Washington. Already the geographical outlines are vaguely traced, but the effects upon the vast variety of life in the ocean are mostly still unknown.
 The biggest one is a phosphate desert that fills most of the Pacific northward from the equator al- most from shore to shore, to line drawn between Southern California and Japan.
 This area, near its surface, is poor in phosphates, which are in- diSpensal3le, fertilizers alike for plants of the land and of the sea. In the ocean the phosphates are used particularly by the microscopy ic plants, which are the basic food of all fish.
 These plants, constituents of the so called plankton, develop mostly within 100 or 200 feet of the sur face, growth at lower depths being prevented by an insufficient amount of sunlight.
 In all the North Pacific, says Dr. Moberg, between attitudes 10 and 40, except a few stations near the California coast, the phosphate con-
