officer stake explains
CHAPTER XXX
«TIER parachute's open, she's
safe!" Wesley shouted fran-
tically at the two officers in the
autogiro plane. "T-thank God!"
"Use your rifle!" the pilot
yelled. "Aim at the front of the
cabin, the controls!"
But Officer Starr was already
aiming, and he began firing with
meticulous care. Crack! Crack!
They just had to stop that mono-
plane now before it could outdis-
tance the government ship!
"He's hit!" the pilot yelled.
"He's got to land!"
There was no open field, no
cleared spot. Obviously Girardeau
was striving desperately. He did
guide the crippled monoplane over
huge boulders—then all at once it
struck the earth, bounced twlee
and finally halted tail up against
thick yucca growths. The autogiro
was settling right near it.
Girardeau jumped from his
plane and started running. The
moment the autogiro touched
earth Wesley York leaped out In
pursuit, carrying Officer Starr's
gun.
"HALT!" Wesley yelled.
« *
/"'IRARDEAU shot back twice,
ran on. The chase continued
half a mile, each man dodging
cacti, greasewood, rocks. All at
once Wesley saw they had been
running at an angle toward the
spot where Ronnie landed, saw
her unstrapping her chute to be
free. She saw them then and be-
gan shouting.
Girardeau stopped abruptly be-
hind a rock and shot back again
and again, and Wes in turn
dropped prone to resume shooting.
He saw Girardeau's head go out
of sight, and so he quickly sprang
up and ran again. When Girar-
deau's head next showed, only a
few feet separated them.
Ho himself couldn't have said
what strange fury drove him. but
We* was on the fleeing man with
a peculiar exultation. Both guns
had been emptied. Wes literally
dived at Girardeau In the last few
feet to make a flying tackle such
as any man who has played foot-
ball knows.
They fought there furiously.
Sea serpents do exist, in plenti-
ful numbers but they are only
Ronnie came running toward them, Wesley turned toward Lona her-
fust. I helf. "Did—you have it—when wt
Girardeau suddenly gained his wtiru out riding horseback? You
feet but Wesley straightened up
ward, swinging under Girardeau's
guard. Splack! The man's head
snapped back; he fell limp. In 00
seconds more Wesley had Girar-
deau's hands tied with his own
necktie.
• a •
T^HE officers had found Lona
*- Montoya dazed but not crit-
ically hurt, even though in the
larding she had fared worse than
Girardeau. Mr. Starr gave Oral
aid. The Border Patrol pilot took
to the air and when he saw that
Girardeau was safely captured—
with Wesley and Ronnie waving
to him— he flew back a few miles,
landed for a moment and promptly
took off again for his return.
It was marvelous how he could
set the autogiro down and lift it
from small places. When he came
to the crashed monoplane this
time all the others had gathered
there waiting, and he left the
government ship carrying — sur-
prisingly— Girardeau's Indian
drum.
Still panting, Wes York stepped
forward. He tore off the padding
around the drum, then with pocket
knife cut the rawhide head and
took out the parcel concealed
within it.
"You had the right hunch. Dr.
York," Officer Starr said, calmly.
"That's the bomb sight."
« • •
rpHE others—-Ronnie especially—
—just looked on, enthralled.
Lona and Girardeau had been
handcuffed now.
"The U. S. Secret Service owes
you a new hat, Dr. York," Stan-
went on. "You've lost yours. And
there may be some |joints you and
Miss Roñica want cleared up, eh?"
"Y-yes!" Ronnie could barely
mutter it, nodding.
"Well," the officer looked with
obvious respect at Ronnie and
Wesley both, "to tell you the truth,
Girardeau isn't French, and the
Montoya girl isn't Mexican. Our
federal undor-eover force has been
checking close for weeks, the Mex-
ican government co - operating.
He's German; she's some Asiatic
inixup, probably part Japanese at
least. And she was playing him
for a sucker all along—ha! She
and some Jap agents have a secret
cache in Rainbow Canyon, with
radio and everything."
"Oh-h-h!" murmured Ronnie,
wide-eyed. "So that's—"
"Finally." the officer went on.
She made Girardeau take the
promised to help a fellow, its ' office
pretty hard to stop when he's !
going down for the third time "
He said, however, that he didn't
expect Britain to be going down
and that "I have always had faith
in the ability of Britain to with-
stand the attacks"
Smith said he believed that the
outstanding domestic problem
facing congress was readjustment
of the tax schedule, and that "tax-
ation is going to be a terrific |>-
blem no matter what happen
Me said that in his opinion
' domestic budget could be bal
insofar as the ordinary expense
¡ government are concerned, but
that armaments expenses "are in a
class by themselves."
An average of four earthquakes
occur daily in Japan.

Surly for a moment, Lona Anally
nodded and spoke slowly, "Except
for the autogiro I would have
taken it to my own countrymen
then, on the desert. Have they not
been near the bombing fleld all the
while waiting to observe the army
tests? Yanh!"
"Certainly," Mr. Starr agreed.
"We kept a secret watch on that
from the day Miss Roñica and I
caught the Ave Japs. Watched you
too."
"Later to keep Andre from be-
ing suspicious I brought the bomb
sight back. Anyhow. I wanted to
take it from under his very nosol"
Starr resumed talking. "We
know a lot more than we told any-
body. But Dr. York, you sur*

off like the weird mechanical

turned to Ronnie again he saw
that she was still trembling and
had slumped a bit as if tired. He
put a comforting arm around her.

Rows o* glittering trinkets—and yet you pass them by,
wisely refuse to buy from hawkers, peddlers, hide-away
salesmen.
Because, like all smart shoppers, you prefer to know
the goods you purchase. You insist • on knowing the name
of the merchant behind his wares, the attitude and personal-
ity of the store that sells them to you.
In your daily newspaper, you get these vital shopping-
facts. Here, in these pages, the stores tell you exactly what
they have. Here you can select ahead of time without step-
ping out of your front door. Here the merchant's signature
in each advertisement assures you that the goods you buy
will be exactly as advertised.
That is why clever budget-keepers shop in the news-
papers first—discover where they can get what they want,
and buy without the costly danger of fraud. You, too, can
enjoy this saving of time and money. Look in your news-
paper now!
