purse strings This duty she discharged well.
Now, Rosa was very beautiful girl, and
what she lacked in years, she more than made
up in experience with men. Her loveliness alone
made her enticing; but she had learned to
invite with the drop of an eye, and promise
with the curve of her lips. Indeed, few men
could resist her allure.
Naturally Juan was no match for her. being
too young to have much knowledge OF women
- not that mean to imply that age is of any
great help in such matters 50 it was not long
before he was her eager slave. Lopez rubbed
his palms together; for what mans cunning
could not accomplish, woman's guile seemed
about to bring to completion.
Rosas questioning about the source of his
gold became so insistent that Juan one day
said Very well, I'll tell you about it, and
you'll see why it's so safe from prying eyes -
unless it s discovered by accident, as my father
found it. One goes little way up the Arroyo
of the Caves, turns off at a small branch, then
another until he comes to place where many
big rocks border the stream. Back under one
of these rocks, hidden by brush and over
hanging foliage, is what appears to be but
another of the many tiny caves, Yet it's really
passage that twists and turns under the hill,
until it opens suddenly into beautiful dell"
And it's there that you find your gold?"
asked Rosa, black eyes sparkling.
Yes. The whole place is entirely surrounded
by high cliffs much too steep to climb; and
I'm sure that many years ago it must have
been deep lake. There are many tall palms
and other trees, and small stream bubbles
up at one end and drains out through the
tunnel It's a little Paradise on earth"
Evening star., 1937-04-11

And there is only the one way to reach it,"
I'm sure of it, for many times I've searched
the hills trying to locate the rim of my dell, but
without success. Even if one did find it he
would have to drop hundreds of feet down the
cliffside to get into it. With very little work

floor, for it seems nearly made of golden grains

Rosa could no longer restrain her impatience,
and demanded: How do you find this tunnel?"
"One must know three landmarks, which,
when sighted in a straight line, point directly
to the entrance" Juan paused, smiling down
into her eager face, then added "But that's
my secret"
And this he would not tell, though she
entreated and stormed by turns. Of course
Rosa did not carry tantrums too far and it
was not long before Juan asked her to marry
him. You see. Excellency, his father, as well
as his grandfather, had been married; so it was
sort of custom in the family
Rosa only laughed at him; yet she offered
herself in return for his secret - but Juan
refused.
When Rosa told her father, he ordered her
to accept the lad on condition that he promise
to reveal the location of his mine after they
were wed.
Juan agreed he would even take her to his
dell of the golden pebbles for their honeymoon
if she wished So the date for their marriage
was set.
For the time, Juan put his search for the
murderer of his father away from him and let
only happiness fill his mind.

And then I'd listen some more

his good looks, his tremendous

Others, probably golfers, specu-
lated on how John Montague ever
got out of a sand trap with a hoe;
how he ever putted with baseball
bat, and how he ever knocked a
ball down the fairway with a rake.
Not a person came in the tavern
but expressed the desire to take
a look at him. And they all hoped
that Bing Crosby would be at the
arraignment and someone said
they hoped to hell Bing would sine

Rookie Pitchers Grab Spotlight in
Labor Day Doub|eheaders in Majors

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. UP)-Base-
balls spotlight shown brightest to-
day on Pitchers Lefty Lee Grissom,
! Cincinnati southpaw, and Raymond
Phebus, Washington's rookie right
handler.
On day II which the pitchers
had perhaps their greatest success
this season, Grissom and Phebus
each pitched a one hit game. Girls
som lost his, Phebus won his, a
20 shutout.
Grissom came nearest to a per-
feet game, and yet he lost, 81, to
the Chicago Cubs. He held the
Cubs hitless until the eighth. Then
Phil Cavaretta's pop fly fell safe
for double. Jurges was safe on
an error and Curt Davis bunted and
was safe on fielder's choice, filling
the bases. Nettled by the turn of
events, GriSSom threw a wild pitch
and Cavaretta scored the tying run.
urges Tailed the winning run on
Galan's fly.
Phebus, UP from the Southern
Association, allowed the Red Sox
only one hit, double by Catcher
Gene Desautels, but walked seven
men. He pitched superbly in the
pincheS and had two double plays
to aid him in scoring a 20 shut
out.
In the pennant race events con-
tinued to point more strongly to
another subway series. The Giants
won a doubleheader from the Phil
lies, 6-2, and 9-3, and gained an
other game on the Cubs who split
a doubleheader with the Reds. Err
rors helped Cincinnati win the first
! game, 7-3. Curt Davis bested Girls
som in the secnod game, 81. The
Giants lead is now three games.
The Yankees knocked off the
Athletics twice, 6-3 and 81, hold
ing their II games. Joe Dimaggio
hit homer No. 40.
Detroit walloped the st. Louis
Browns twice, 1919 and So, to
hold the runner-up position. Pete
Fox's double won the opener, and
his homer and single helped win
the nightcap.
All the other doubleheaders re-
suited in even breaks. After Lyons
had pitched the White Sox to g
81 victory in the opener with
Cleveland, Feller pitched the In
dians to 2-1 triumph. Lefty Grove
outpitched Yves Ferrell to give the
Red Sox a 6-2 victory over WASH
ington. and then Phebus came
through with his one hitter to tame
the Red Sox, 20. Outfielder john
ny Stone, Washington, hurt his
shoulder in diving for fly and
may be out the rest of the year.
Arky Vaughan's homer in the
ninth gave Pittsburgh Sd victory
over the Cardinals in the nightcap
after ST. Louis had won the opener,
Al, on five hits. Johnny Cooney's
single with the bases filled in the
10th gave Brooklyn 81, 10 inning
victory over the Bees despite Mac
Fayden's four hit pitching. Lou
Fette pitched the Bees to Ga
triumph in the nightcap, and scored
his 18th win.

me the same thing:
Drop by the tavern and hang
around awhile. At one time or an
other everybody will be there, and
they'll be talking about him, don't
you worry"
So 1 went to the tavern, with
its substantial mahogany bar,
wiggly barmaids, electric phOnO-
graph, and straight-back booths,
and hung around. Hung around
long time, just listening-listen-
ing to college kids, semi-prO base
ball players, still in dusty suits
and wearing spikes, farmers,
dressed up members of the rich
summer colony, labOrers. and
those indistinguishable men and
women you find in bars every
where.
And they talked of Montague. Nc
one ever spoke of him as Moore
or Laverne or Laverne Moore. Il
was always Monty, or "Monta.
gue," or Johnny" After listening
to them for so long 1 couldn't hell
but feel that it wasn't Lavernt
