NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
THE sea was calm and Field
l. had reason for his pride in
The Silver Dart" Soon Pablito
saw what the man and girl beside
aim could not SCe-an indent OF
water cupped between jagged
rocks and leading upward to a de-
serted stretch Of beach. Beyond
the yellow sand was deep green
tangle of tropic jungle.
The water was growing shall
low and the going was perilous,
Pablito knew. LOttie and Beau
quarrcled mildly, unaware of the
danger. Pablito turned the speed
low. Lottie was saying, What
The hell are we gOin' to do with
this here Lcviathan?"
Turn it over and hope TO God
it'll drift to soa," Beau answered
It's damn shame" the girI
muttered. It's swell boat
1T wouldn't be 80 swell to be
caught in it," Beau told her.
The boat scraped a rock and
poised for a second, far tilted &c
one side. Lottic's eyes grew
frightened but she made NJ
sound; Beau swore; Pablitt
turned off the engine, stepped ouI
on the rock, pushed the boat Of
and leaped back into it. once
more he turned the power on
They could not go much farther
he knew, but he wanted to be
well out of the water in which
sharks might be swimming before
he began to pilot the crew ashore
Again the boat struck a rock
this time squarcly under the prov
and so sharply that it vibratet
from the shock. Again Beau sworC
loudly: again Lottie made NJ
sound but her hands grippCd on
another until her ,knucklcs were
white.
Pablito saw Il natural channe

time. If he could make it ht

Slowly and carefully he noSed The

his flared trousers, Sitting then
in order to pull them high on hi
thighs. Then he stepped into tn
water. "I'll carry you," he sait
to Lottie. She smiled as she he'll
out her arms and he lifted he
over the edge Of the boat.

ecstatically as her arms tightene
around his neck.

was sound asleep. Lottie edged
closer to Pablito. YOU'RE a good

was almost soft.

At dusk Pablito secuted about

They found hardbeaten road
not far away and beyond Pablito
saw Hibiscus hedge, Its huge
/ scarlet flowers like mass OF
sporadic flames. Back of this wac
clump of poinsettia, fully six
feet tall, its blossoms a glowing
crimson. There were cultivated
banana trees too and Pablito
knew they must be nearing some
ones country estate. .,.
Then down the road Il creeping
blotch appeared and as II grew
larger Pablito saw IT was an OK
cart drawn by two sleek animals
with rings in their noses. a two
wheeled. Crcaking, screeching OK
cart. He and Beau stepped TO,
the side of the road and dropped
there behind tall growth that
afforded protection. AS he hid
Pablito thought of the laoboa,
Cuba's deadly little six-inch. dust,
colorcd snake which can burrow
straight downward in the hardest
earth almost in a second, 20. 80.
The cart drew near. IL Was
filled with girls dressed in tissue
paper costumes, their paper skirts
haring. paper bodices cut low and
caps that seemed like lightly how
ering butterflies on their pretty
heads. The man who drove ths
slowly plodding beasts was grim
ming pleasantly. He was dressed
as Il clown. The girls chatter was
high, shrill and happy. &C.. t,t.s
When the scrcech. of The cart

from his hiding place and Pablito

TT was a difficult feat. getting
l. Lottie to land. She was heavy
and the way was perilous. The
rocks were slippery and the sands,
washed by the tide, were shifting
and deceiving. The sun beat down
iiercely and Beau swore as he fol-

Pablito slipped but he did not fall.

One Change Is Due
In Army Personnel
At Reserve office
Maj. Leard, Infantry, to
Relieve Maj. BrOugher
on June 80.

There will be but one change in
the regular Army commissioned per-
Sonnel on duty at District Reserve
headquarters. Maj. Emil w. Leard,
Infantry, upon the completion of his
present course of instruction at the
Army Industrial College, will report
for duty on June 80 at Washington
headquarters as unit instructor of
the 428th Infantry and 429th Infan-
try as the relief of Maj. William E.
Brougher, Infantry. The latter will
take over the unit instructor duties
of the 320th Infantry, relieving Maj.
T. M Chambliss, Infantry, who will
become student officer in the next
course of instruction at the Army
War College, beginning about August
10.
New unit instructors have been de-
tailed to four District Reserve units.
Maj. Russell NICK. Harrington, now
at the Army War College, is in addi-
ton to his other duties, detailed as
unit instructor of the 343d Engineers
and 376th Engineers. These duties
were performed by Maj. J. D. Ar
thur, jr., prior to his assignment else
where to duty. The former regiment
will undergo active duty training at
Fort Humphreys, Va. this Summer
from July % to August 4, while the
576th Regiment will be on active duty
at the Virginia post from August 19
to September l. The other change in

the 320th Infantry. Second Lieut.

313th Field Artillery.

trade is wholesale murderer Can
any one say less of the arms manu-
facturer who sells machine guns to
a gangster or to revolutionaries at
home or in foreign countries? For
years the United States has taken the
lead in the worldwide struggle Tor
the control of drugs.
There have been no isolationists on
this particular subject. There would
be none on the control of the traffic
in arms if We would look on control
of that traffic in the same light-as
a purely humanitarian and in no
sense a political matter. 1t is true
that limitation of production Of
munitions would not be as simple
as the limitation in production of
narcotics, because world needs can
not be as closely calculated but over
against this We have the fact that
it is much more difficult to construct
an oversupply of arms, much more
difficult to smuggle them than it is
to manufacture and smuggle drugs
Certain things could, however, be
covered. The manufacture and sale
of heroin has been declared illegal
Why should not the manufacture of
machine guns, except for sale to the
Government, be declared illegal?
Question Not Political.
Looked at in this light, the ques-
ton is not political in any sense of
the word. Like narcotics, arms and
ammunition could be sold both in
the domestic and international mar
kets under license from the govern
ment of the producing country and
in accord with world agreement.
There would always be individuals
who would cheat, manufacturers who
would permit the thought of profits
to kill their conScienceS, but these
would be few in number, just as it is
true today that, by and large, the
munition makers are just as honor
able as any other manufacturers.
The good ones could not object if it
were made clear to them that the
Government wanted only one thing
to prevent illicit sale. Those who
were unwilling to obey would grad
ually be eliminated, just as the cheats
among the drug manufacturers are
being put out of business.
The two trades stand hand in hand.
Both are honorable in themselves and
damnable when turned to illegitimate
uses. Neither is political unless made
so by the introduction of perfectly
extraneous issues. l should like to
see this country take the lead in
the wise control of both

where the authorities must run down
every slender clue, must associate
with crooks and maintain a constant
watch on the suspected hideout-
sometimes for weeks-until the oppor-
tune moment comes. Their informa-
ton may have come from inform
ers, from anonymous sources, from
"squealers" among the counterfeiters.
from incidents in investigations of
other criminal acts. Or it may have
been picked up from cold scent fol-
lowing the disclosure that a particular
| counterfeit was being circulated.
Ready to Spread IS.
Not infrequently raids will be made
on a counterfeit h;de-out before any
of the bogus money has been circu-
lated. The tip-of may have been the
result OF the purchase of large guam
titles of paper, ink or other supplies.
But whatever brings the seizure, the
important thing is to make it before
! there has been a flood of spurious
| currency. Only a few weeks ago the
authorities swooped down on a plant
in which they found several thousand
counterfeit S. bills. Its operators
were prepared to turn out 2,OO0,O0
of them. None had been circulated.
Most of the counterfeits are made
in this country, but occasionally some
are produced beyond our boundaries
There have been recent instances of
counterfeits made in Europe and in
Mexico being bootlegged into the
United States
Occasionally counterfeit United
States money will turn up in foreign
countries. 1t is made in a given
country and distributed there. There
was a case of this kind in Greece only
year ago. Investigation led to the
arrest of six men. They were found
to have 5000 counterfeit $50 bills in
their possession.
Because of the depression more
counterfeit silver coins have been cir
culated during the last few years than
at any time since before the World
War That conflict brought tie max
ing of fake dimes. quarterskand half
dollars practically to an end-the cost
of the metals was too great to make
the effort worth while Now changed
conditions nave wrought resumption
of these activities.
Majority Are Very Poor.
The most popular denominations
during the depression have been the
half dollar coins and the 81, IS and
$40 bills. Being the most commonly
used. they are presumably the easiest
to pass. No one of them, certainly
from the experts point of view, is a
firSt-class product. Some are clever in
certain particulars, but all have i'm
perfections. The great majority are
very poor.
The task of the Federal officials
would be made much simpler If the
people, in times such as these, would
be more observant. One necessity is
for each person to familiarize himself

Is Your Money Cenuine?'

may operate longer than others, but
all are apprehended eventually. The
more prolific he Is in distributing his
wares the quicker he Is caught.
The law-abiding citizen may believe
the comterfeiter distributes as well as
| manufactures the spurious money. but
| the secret service knows otherwise.
| Except for the amateur or the lone
worker who operates on small scale,
it is systematized undertaking.
There are times, in fact, when the
printer turning out the counterfeit
currency has no idea for whom he
is working; he is acquainted only with
the go-between who accepts the paper
and pays for 1t.
Similarly, the brains" of the outfit
! hires the men and women to pass it.
They pay him 20 or 80 cents on the
dollar-in real money.
Some professional counterfeiters op-
crate in rings-a bad bill may turn
up simultaneously in number of
cities in various sections of the coun-
try. 1t is much more likely to be a
poor imitation than a good one. Yet
spurious money, today as yesterday,
can be passed on almost any one.
Portraits on Government made cur
rency are made from steel engrav-
ings. They are clear-cut. There are
distinctive portraits for each denomi-
nation-raising of denominations, once
fairly common practice, has become
practically a lost art.
Photographic Process.
Almost all counterfeit currency is
the result Of some Photographic proc
ess. 1t is blurred. 1t is the wrong
color. Some one Of scores of varia-
tions Is ignored. Even the most
competent professional counterfeiter
makes some mistake that exposes him
and his product. The great ma jority
OF them do their work so poorly that
Government experts are amazed that
they are able to get rid of it so easily.
There are. of course, exceptions. Once
IN great while an excellent imita-
ton will turn up. However, there
never has been one that was abso-
lutely perfect. And, of course, the
better the counterfeit the harder the
effort to run down It's perpetrator.
This hunting of counterfeiters has
produced many thrilling true detec-
tive story. All cases are not as simple
as that of the man who recently
visited a beer garden and bought nine
glasses of beer. He paid for each
with a counterfeit one-dollar bill and
pocketed the change. Then he stag
gered out, loaded with beer and legal
| silver. All the police had to do once
they were advised, was to arrest him.
But there are other instances. in
hnltely more difficult of solution
