But he left nought to chance. Deep as a well he was. He told the hands that he was doing Government nork and had been empowered to set up the Peruvian flag on the god-forsaken place and claim it as n possession of his country." Pedro chuckled and gurgled at ;his recollection, then proceeded. "We ran into ugly weather that lourriey; but the 'Condor' stood up n it, and though we were driven to -un from our oourse for two days. we fetched book on the line again presently and made our way toi Tabletop) "on the morn alter weld found

with him. We saw him land and make the boat fast, and then he took his traps and disappeared up the gorge. or course I knew he was gone for his treasure. butrny men

took a little six-chambered revolv- or along with him, so 'twas clear he felt a chance might come when held need it."

The old ma.n's words began to came slower and his eye-lids droop- e

"Stick to it, Mr. Floris," urged Tom. "You're a grand story-teller."

"I'm very well renowned for stor- ies." admitted Pedro, "but this one is told. There's little more to say. Ben hung fire and we saw no sign of him as the hours passed. Then night came and yet no sign. All was very quiet and still. with no danger to the boat. so we held on. I was for manning our plnnace and going ashore in her to search for him; but my crew were all against. Benny had done his work too well and put fear in 'em, and I couldn't go alone. Nor could I venture to order them because. against the panic fear that was in 'em, orders would have been all in vain.

"Next: morn there lay the boat, but no sign of the man. We went ashore to the forest and got water and found some trees of wild ba- nana. They were the biggest ever I saw -2 feet long and weighing over 2 pound apiece. The birds fed on 'em.

"For a week we hung off the is- land, but never a sign he gave and never a flag he lifted, so it was borne in upon me that the man had died there and lay beyond human help. Once more I was pull- ed ashore and venitured a bit up the gorge. but not very far. Evil hung thickly in the air up there and something told me that eyes were watching. Not a sound or sight mind you, but just unseen things waiting for me to make a false step.

"For up the gorge I did hear a noise presently - a deep hissing like a spouting whale. It came and went, and I remembered Ben had told of a hot spring that shot up every five minutes. And then, with my weather eye lifting, I thought I saw movement on the cliffs over

"That's the and of the tale, and the end of Benny no doubt. All fifty years old and more now. Very disappointing for me. because he had promised me a handsome gift when we were back again at La I"loreana."

Aylmer dived in his pocket and brought out a stout wad of paper money.

"Here's something anyway," he said. "You've told us a lot worth knowing, my friend, and when we come back again, perhaps we shall tell you a little more yet."

"Very dlsappointing."echoed the old man. and they -saw that the shutters were down and he was fall- ing asleep. He murmured a little longer and they put their gift into his hand and prepu-ed to leave him.

But just as Jane and Tom dc- partcd, Pedro opened his eyes. It seemed that the touch of the nnlrs had awakened him.

Then he tucked the money into his bosom and went to sleep again.

Mhroun cHn.'n Amy THE ALCOHOL PROBLEM By Bishop Wilbur E. Hammolser

Be not deceived! Recognize them for what Lhey are! Get out from under their glamour. Ex- plain their appeal and their pre- tense to your child. Do 'not let him. or her, take those stories at their face value. It is folly to be- lieve that they will have no in- fluence on your child. Are you sure that they have none nn you? Do you pierce through the glittering exterior to the fester- ing heart of corruption? Do you

steel yourself against the insidi- ous allure of those "ads"? They are the most wonderful adver-

tisements of our time or of any time. Their very artistry makes them doubly dangerous, Be sure to guard and guide your -child, whose eyes and aesthetic senses are being so skillfully sought out by the disguised demons who parade across the advertising pages.

Think of the jeopardies to mind a'nd speech and self-control. that folks risk, when they take that which may loosen their tongues. unlatch their brains. and unleash their inner controls! How often have I'llste.ned to these words: "I was not myself. I did not realize what I was doing." Shaken to the depths, young men. young women, being stalked by shame and impending disgrace. have poured such sentences into my ears. Who has not heard this: "You must not take what he did too seriously. His 'pnsse.s' should be overlooked. He is always a

perfect gentlemen when he is himself." Why was he not him- self? Cocktails, champagne. Why

did he imbibe? Wanted to be the life of the party. Wanted to get rid of the inhibitions of self- consclousnes. Oh you know all the reasons.

Ten per cent of all the people of this country. according to the law of present averages, if there be no change. become heavy. habitual drinkers. Twenty per cent of the people who -drink are headed for that hell. Half of these will become alcoholics who retain no control whatso- ever. Might your child travel such an awful road? Could he or she say at the end that you set an example in,s3cial drinking? Could he or she say. at the end of that terrible road. that you failed in make him or her under- stand the dangers?

There is only one absolutely safe way with reference to bev- erage alcc-hol, That. is the way of total abstinence. It is not a)- ways the easy way. No more is chastity an easy, uncontested way.
