CHAPTER XXVIII

The Rio Grande, like all rivers, frequently forms islands by its shift ing currents in flood time. Usually these are little patches of half an acre or less, and may be washed away again before anything but grass can grow on them. They are of little consequence, ordinarily.
 But when the Rio Grande slashed hard into its eastern bank during a flood several years ago, it struck a deposit of soft earth cut over into an old arroyo, and with a sudden dramatic rush left its old bed completely. For an hour it flooded big field, then began slowly to eat out new route. Soon 1t was back in its regular course, but removed a mile down stream. Meanwhile silt and debris had completely damned the upper end of the now waterless stretch.
 The result was that piece of land nearly a mile long and aver aging 300 yards in width lay now on the west bank of the Rio, whereas 1t had formerly lain on the east. This oblong area was called 'New Channel Island" even though the rivers old bed re- mained dry. There were some large boulders on it, and countless smaller rocks, and little patches of trees, scrubby like most of the growth in that western arid zone.
 Hope Kildare had good mental picture of this place and, as he rode along in Barro's cavalcade of aliens he realized anew that this New Channel crossing was ideal for smugglers to send over their human contraband. The Island was miles down stream from Fl Paso or any other settlement. Yet is was relatively near transconti- mental highway in Texas, and near open fields suitable for airplane landings. Moreover, the terrain on the eastern or American side of the river was almost entirely clear of trees and rocks because farmer had cleaned it, trying to make a dryland crop there. Abandoned now it still was fiat and barren, and so held no place where Border Patrol officers, for instance, might hide.
 "Its Barros idea to lead his men right to that river bank, where the water is broad and shallow enough for wading and send them across" Hope was thinking, again. "As usual he probably won't cross himself, even if he thought no officers were over there. He'll play safe. But - this may be once where we hold trump card!"
 Hope had kept silent as he rode. The cavalcade, moving at 8 fast

Recalling the Tragedy Of Grants Last Doys

lOf 0rontS Lost OoyS |TTLYSSES GRANT stepped out V of the White House relatively a poor man. He had saved $100,- 900. but that was little for the life he was to lead in New York, for the demands that were put constantly upon him and his fam fly. It was so meager, in fact, that a committee of prominent New Workers raised a public sub- scription to buy the ex-President and Civil War general suitable home.
 Grant and his family moved to New York soon after and shortly the bearded hero set about to in- vest his money so as to assure the best possible return. As it turned out, it was the worst possible. For Grant was persuaded by a worth less schooner, one Ferdinand Ward, to invest in a brokerage business. It practically ruined both Grant and his son.
 Grants name seemed . gold- en guarantee and thousands of veterans invested in the firm. Things seemed to go very well for a time, too. Then Ward revealed the crisis and the honest Grant was forced to dig deep to meet 1t. Grant even accepted a loan of $l50, 900 from William H. Wander bilt. The final blow came when Ward cashed the check and ab- seconded with the money.
 So Grant, in desperation, turned over every cent he owned, even his house. There were weeks when even the grocery bill Jagged. But Grant came out on top finally. He came out. however, a sick man. An old ailment was aeitat- ed by the crisis. From this point Grant steadily failed in health. Months later he died. He is shown above on a stamp cf the Q. S. series of 1894, light brown and also blue, enlarged.
