by DUll L THIS HAS HAPPENED â€" SJeveral mystcrious deaths have ocâ€" eurred at Porto Verde, a little town in Brazil, and Elise Marberry, owner of a plantation, has been threatened. Owing to the vifilam and protection of her cousin, Vilak, no harm has come to her. Vilak believes that G.{lord Prentiss is the instigator of all the trouble. Word comes that the dam at Avilos has broken, and Elise, Vilak, and Lincoln Nunnally ride to warn Prentiss. They find it is but a ruse to get Prentiss into the open so he can be murdged by the natives. Vilak tells this to Prentiss and the four then defend Prentiss‘ fazenda. Vilak blows up a dam and the lake is let loose and flosds out the attackers. When the vaters go down Prentiss is missing. Vilak continued to light the fires fir>s untit for a quarter of a mile the woods were ablaze. The old man interestedly watched the strange creaâ€" tures that bolted onto the road to esâ€" cape the danger suddenly come upon them; the longâ€"legged, craneâ€"like jabiru, the ugly, ungainly pecary, the graceful, agile bushâ€"deer. But he was not long afforded this spectacle, for Vilak had been careful to build back fires and the leaping flames quickly died away. The party returned to Elsi‘s fazenda. "Hear anything about the boat yet?" Vilak asked his cousin as he strode upto the veranda and met her carryâ€" She thought a moment. "Senhor de aurenco or Senhor Cojoseria. I‘d say Laurenco would undoubtedly have been the best for you. ice chap, too Like him very much. But unfortunâ€" ately he moved away from here about six months ago and lives about thirty miles down the river now. Cojoseria I don‘t know so well. He seems pleasâ€" ant enough to talk to, though some of his fellowâ€"Brazilians haven‘t a very high opinion of him. But he does know the country and he is nearby. Just a few miles past my place at Vilapa. Do you want to see him?" "Yes. I want to have a little talk." He drew out his watch. "If it wasn‘t so late, I‘d go out there this afternoon. I‘ll make it sirst thing in the morning." His blond brows knitted. "Mighty sorry about that boat. If it doesn‘t come Friday we can‘t wait for it any longer,. We‘ll have to get you and Tinky out some other way. Judging by appearances, things have quicted considerably. _ But appearances are the one thing I never trust." The remainder of the day passed without incident. In the morning he set off alone to visit the fazenda of Seahor Cojoseria. assing Villapa on the way, he stonped for a moment to converse with Wilson, the carrotâ€"faced superintendent of Elsie‘s fazenda, then rode on. Vilax rode back the way he had come. He neared the castanho treos which bordoved the driveway of the fazenda. To his surprise, he saw Elsie hurry forward from between the trees to meet him â€" Her lips were gray, drawn. "Tinky‘s gone again," she said quictly. He leaped from his horse and took "Yes 1 certainly did. Word came just after you left. Smashed a paddl!eâ€" wheel up at Benca, and won‘t be down for another three days. High water sent her onto some rocks. Water‘s falling everywhere there. Looks as if the flood danger‘s over." "Humph. _ That‘s cheerfal." He helped her adjust mosquito netting over the child‘s crib which had been placed on the grass. "Another quosâ€" tion.

Still holding her hand, he took his horse‘s bridle, and began to walk toâ€" ward the house. "Tell me . . . what happened, if it isn‘t too hard . . . Perhaps you‘d better wait a minute or two" With an effort she drew herself erect. "It was practically the same this time as it was before. Tinky was in his bed outside, under the trees. Hannah was taking care of l.im, for I had some things to do in the house. She got up to get him a drink. You know where we keep the distilled water. On the back veranda, just around the corner of the house from where Tinky was lying, not more than thirty or forty feet away at the most. Vilak â€" looked â€" at this _ closely. "Schwartz has been here, hasn‘t he?" Elsic nodded. "Yes. He came when I was taking care of the baby to find out whether I had decided on some changes we had been considering in the warehouse." "Humph." He stooped, searched among the leaves drifting on the ground, then picked up something and put it carefully in his pocket. A moâ€" ment later he was quickly folowing a strip of trees which led to the road as he had done after the child‘s first disâ€" appearance. "Hannah got the drinkâ€"it may have taken a few seconds longer than usual because she had to onen a new bottleâ€" and hurried back with it toward the trees. She stooped over the bedâ€" And saw that it was empty ... That‘s all I know." They reached the cluster of palm trees under whose shade the child had rested. The old man, who had been on the veranda, cam: forward to meet them. Vilak looked at the empty cot, then on the ground about In it were three sets of footprints, one narrow and delicate, which he at once recogâ€" nized as the impression made by Elsie‘s pointed shoes, another flat and heedless, the mark made by the slipâ€" pers of Hannah. The third was the print of a man‘s working shoe, broad, squarish. "No one. Just the same way as when the rifles disapeared. No footâ€" prints of anyone we don‘t know. Nothing. I looked closely." "You saw no one lurking around the house?" He reached the highway and after considerable examination found the print of a horse‘s hoof which led to the trees and then away Mounting with Elsie and the old man on their horses beside him, he began folowing the trail. For four hours he rode, his eyes ever on the ground, through dense woods, along the edge of seething swamps, past long cliffs of brilliant volcanie rock, over a stretch of green upland where the grass on cither side was hb‘rh as a man‘s head. At la as the setting of the sun was abou. to put a swift end to their hunting, they reached a narrow swamp which quickly ended and gave way on all sides to matted jungle. Here the trail of the horse‘s hoofs ended. But new prints, the confused footâ€" prints of three of four men, some apparently with naked feet, showed at the beginning of a narrow path that had been freshly cut in the tangle of vegetation. Vilak dismounted. "Chap got down here. Friends here waiting for him. Let his horse go, and they all went off into that." He peered into the tangled murkiâ€" ness where the new path led. He chewed his lip. "No chance of followâ€" ing them any more toâ€"day Be night in fifteen minutes. I hate to stop, but you know how absolutely futile it is to try to search the jungle at night. Worse than futile. We‘d only obliterate the trail. Probably haven‘t gone far. Get some beaters and come out first thing in the morning. Better for us in that wilderness if we have some natives who know the country. They can pick up a trail where, trainâ€" ed as I am, even I‘d lose it. And they can spread the radius of our search if the trail comes to an end. The chaps ahead know where they‘re goâ€" ing, and we don‘t." He turned to Elsie and pressed her hand again. "oDn‘t you worry about this delay It‘ll be all right. Just a little time and we‘ll find him." The lines in her delicate face had deepened. "I know you will," she The sun sank behind the horizon as they turned their horses homeward.

Catching sight of their father they rushed to him to say, "O, Papa, won‘t you help us make a good sled like that? It is so much better than the ones Santa Claus made!" When Mr. and Mrs. Schramm walkâ€" ed homeward after watching the fun, the father laughed as he said, "Mary, all my ideas of advantages have had a severe jolt this afternoon. We‘ll be cheating our children if we don‘t enâ€" courage them to meet and overcome difficulties." New Diving Suit Suit Weighs Seven and a Quarter Cwt.â€"Resembles Lobster or Crab "I‘m glad we‘ve both found that out before the children are grown up," said Mrs. Schramm.â€"Issued by the National Kindergarten Association, 8 West 40th Street, New York City. These articles are appearing weekly in our columns. "I spent about an hour at the botâ€" tom of,a tank in the newest design of armoured deepwater driving suit," writes Commander H. M. Danie! in the London Daily Mail. The dress, which weighs 7% cwt., is the invention of J. 8. Peress, a British subject of Persian extraction. It is hoped that it will greatly faciliâ€" tate the recovery of treasure from the bottom of the sea. As the wing of an aeroplane imitâ€" ates the wing ofâ€"a bird, so this divâ€" ing suit resembles the points of a lobster or crab. In the dress at the bottom of a tank 1 felt strangely like a crab in an aqu«rium. At the end of each arm 1 had a steel claw with which 1 could get a cruel grip of any victim or arlicle within reach. _ With practice 1 was able to use my unwieldly limbs with surprising aptitude, picking up a penny at the first attempt from the bottom of the tank. Instead of the joints being on ball bearings, which, understand, are to be found on other armoured suits, the joints of this suit are like that hard bit of cupâ€"shaped shell of the lobster claw, fitting into a larger cup filled with grease. The result is certainly remarkable in its freedom considering the weight and strength of the armour. By the latest form of a decompres: sion chamber it has been possible to descend in such a dress more than 50 fathoms. _ But the inventor hopes to be able to get down to 100 fathoms, where, he thinks, are ancient marble statues and treasure in sunken ships. One advantage which can certainly be claimed for an armoured dress is invulnerability from sharks and octo puses. I know from experience that it is an unpleasant feeling going down the diver‘s ladder with sharks circling round. Octopuses are also a deadly danger. In an armoured suit a diver would have little to fear. Fond Parent: "Now, Doris if you won‘t kiss your uncle, I shall have to send you to bed."
