FOR Cliff the three weeks that
followed were the busiest he had
ever known. One hundred strong
MS men arrived with tons of EQUIP

ilshed headquarters at the site of
the burned warehouse.
"A permanent locauon for the

come to Cliffs dock for rubber.

with vicente's inactivity. The lit
tie motley band of f~ederalists,
about fifty in number, arrived
from the coast and settled them

Claribel had offered a reward for

| chief spurred them to a brief &C
| tivity, but when two weeks passed
| without a single sign or clue, they
promptly lost all interest in Black
landers and vaqueros alike.
AS for Cliff, his only intimation
of the Blacklanders' existence
| came soon after he began his
| camp, and even then he could not
be sure that the unexplained visit
bore any relation to Vicente.
Casey, the construction foreman,
was the first to bring him new OF
a solitary horseman who had been
watching the camp from a high
bluff across the river.
HE was half hidden in a clump
of bamboo" Casey reported, ''but
he sat there watching us for over
a half hour, and when I walked

told the boys about it, and two of
'em said they'd spotted him be-

Cliff had no answer. It might,
of course, mean that the Black
| landers wanted to size up the num-
Der of Cliffs men and watch their
movements preliminary to a raid.
Or it might only mean the idle
| curiosity of some river ranchero.
So Cliff dismissed it. He had
other things to worry about-Janet
Norman, for instance.
More than ever he resented her.
From the very first her presence
in camp had been a constant ag-
gravation. reminding him that
here she was, in spite of anything
he. could do to prevent it; that
with Madison's connivance she
had forced herself upon him as
part of his contract. And her pres
ence brought other drawbacks. At
a time when minutes were pre-
cious, he had to build separate
living quarters for her, %diverting
material and labor from more ur-
gent needs.

huns up On the rocks"
But Cliff shook his head. Il went
over that trail yesterday" he told
Casey. "1t's so harrow you'd have
to blast it out to make it wide
enough for trucks, and that's ex-
penslve. Besides, we haven't mon
ey to buy all the trucks we'd need.
l don't like the idea of shooting
the rapids any more than you do,
but I think we car blow the bigger
rocks out of the channel, and build
barges with reinforced bottoms to
bring the rubber down. That way
will be a lot cheaper"
But not near so safe" Casey
protested.
Cliff pointed to the ledger or his
desk. ''Take a look at my bank
account and tell me where I'm go
ing to get the money for all those
trucks and all that road construc-
ton, and I'll build you a boule-
ward"
And in the end Casey agreed.
So Cliffs men began work on
the headquarters camp, clearing
the land first with bulldozers, then
enclosing it with a high barbed.
wire fence, and soon the foun.
dations of two warehouses were
laid. A dozen other buildings
sprang up-bunkhouses for the
men, power station, and a com.

for a modern dock to the
barges that were TO bring down
the rubber, and tor the cargo ships
that last of all would load the rub
Der and take it on the long trip
back to the States.
Cliff made the barges with spe-
cial care, for they had to be stout
ly built to Withstand the rough
journey down over the rapids
when the time came to bring the
rubber from the plantations to the
dock. They were made of heavy
native wood, the flat bottoms re-
inforced with sheet iron, and
Casey viewed the first one finished
with satisfaction. Build 'em all
ike that" he told the men, land
the trip over the rapids will be a
joy ride"
From dawn until dark the din Of
riveters and the Whir Of machin-
cry broke the jungle silence, while
back in the rubber plantations
Cliff sent other groups to begin
experimental tapping to test the
quality of the crude latex and the
productivity of the trees. Their re-
ports confirmed Cliffs earlier
judgment-the sticky white milk
that flowed so freely beneath the
tapper's knife was hevea rubber of
the highest quality. Encouraged
by these early indications, he sent
crews to clear paths and set up
little bamboo and palm-leaf shell
tiers, preparatory to the actual col
lection and smoking of the sap.
There was still a world of pre-
limi1ary work to be done. Trails
were needed and temporary
camps; later a small army of rub
Der gatherers would have to be
recruited from the settlements
along the entertainers and ba-
mana planters. Indians, poems, and
breeds, men who could be trained
tc go into the plantations with
knife and tin cup to tap the trees
of sap and smoke it over smudge
fires until it formed great brown
bolachas ready for shipment to the
States.
Cliff was under no illusion that
recruiting these men would be an
easy job, for on his trips up the
river in search of dock sites he
soon found that the river people
were deeply suspicious of him,
and even actively hostile. For one
thing, they suspected him Of being
in league with Madison, and Cliff
began to learn how strong was
their fear and hatred of the va
queros. He was able to dispel
some of this suspicion among the
families living close to camp, for
instinctively he liked people, and
the arrival of his launch at the
villages was invariably heralded
by troops of urchins, brown and
white, naked and clothed, all
clamoring to see the big Ameri-
cano, and perhaps get a ride in
the lancha.
But recruiting rubber gatherers
was not his immediate problem.
Neither, to Cliffs surprise, was vi
cente. Three weeks had passed
since his escape from the Black
lands, and so far no least sign of
trouble had come from that quar-
ter. Not one of his men had been
molested. Cliff realized that the
lull might only mean a respite
while the Blacklanders gathered
their forces for a raid even more
destructive than they had made on
the warehouse, but whatever the
reason, Cliff welcomed the chance
il was giving him to establish him
self.
Certainly the presence of the
federal soldiers had nothing to do

"Old Man Winter" Takes
Lives WRoaming Rhesus

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. - (P -
The end to this story depends on
the vagaries of the winter wealth
er and the meanderings of a play
full monkeys mind.
1t has a beginning, all right,
April, 1916, when a shipload of
Rhesus monkeys arrived at Brook
Ign, consigned to a Manhattan
bird and animal company.
One of the longshoremen, with
natural curiosity, opened a crate.
Out leaped two of the monkeys
and away they disappeared in the
wilds of the dock area.
A search was immediately I'M
dertaken by dock workers, truck
drivers and ASPCA aids. Almost
daily they caught glimpses of the
fugitives. The arrival of ships was
a signal for a high time for the
monkeys. They would scurry
aboard, shrilling happily, romp
through the superstructure and
tease the crews.
Through the warm summer
months and into the fall the monk
eys cavorted, eluding all snares
and wiles.
Move Playground
They moved their playground to
the U. S. Custom Guards office
where they practically wrecked
the office.
Then the ASPCA came up with
an idea. A pretty little female
Rhesus was brought to the pier.
She promptly went off with the
other two. Now there were three
monkeys swinging in the dock
caves.
Winter came and with the snow
and cold - tragedy.
. One day in December the hunt
ers found the female monkey. She
was running a high fever and lat
err died in a ASCPA shelter.
On January 81, a bitter cold day.
