This was a different young woman from
the business like one he had encountered on
the road She was attired in skirt which
seemed, somehow, to emphasize the 1.-the
grace of her legs and hips as she moved A
cool white waist with deep V in front showed
him the smooth sweep of her throat, the
tapering curves of her arms. A narrow
brimmed hat, perched jauntily upon her
head, was in strange contrast to the dusty
Stetson she had worn when he had first met
her.
Dick decided that he had never seen
woman who had as much charm, as much
poise, who was as definitely certain of herself
taking her sex for granted, not troubling
either to emphasize or to conceal it.
"Are you having legal troubles?" he asked.
"No troubles" she said. II want you to
draw up an agreement between Tom Wharton
and myself - an agreement to share fifty
fifty in all mining claims which may be located
in the name of either of us, or any gold in
any form Wharton may discover.
'You see,' she explained Tom Wharton
is my manager on the little ranch have. He's
going to do some prospecting. He's convinced
there's gold somewhere back in the noun

"And you want written agreement2" he
asked.
For moment it seemed that her eyes fall

SUSPECT HELD
IN Staying Of
4 TOURIST

SANTA Fe, N. M, June 25. (U.P)
"A man believed to be James Sui
livan, formerly of Las Vegas, N. M,
is under arrest in Nevada, Mo, for
investigation in connection with
the disappearance and supposed
murder of four East st. Louis, ILL.,,
tourists, it was learned here today.
The man was arrested sometime
yesterday in the Missouri town.
Authorities believe he has some
knowledge of the disappearance of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lorious and
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Heberer, of
East st. Louis.
The two couples dropped from
sight after leaving Albuquerque on
May 30 to drive to the Grand Can
yon by way of Gallup.
IT, j. House, Jr., chief of New
Mexico state police, and one of his
men left here last night by auto
mobile for the Missouri town to
question the man, and presumably
to return him to Albuquerque. They
were expected to reach Nevada late
today.
The United Press learned that
the chief reason for arrest of Sui
Ivan was that a man who was seen
driving the LoriouS car after the
two couples disappeared had regis
tered at an Ell PaSo hotel as James
Sullivan.
