Lincoln Nuunal ly, a famous chemist. An air of mystery seems to hang over the placo. This impression is accentuated when the portor who handles Nunnally's grips hints of strange deaths that have occur red and mumbles gloomy prophe cies, ' ' In the barber shop, tho barber, a strange, dark man with an Ori ental cast in his eyes, speaks to Nunnaliy, who ' then rocognlzeB him as Vtlaka West, known, as Vllak, a fellow American. He asks Vilak what he is doing in Porto Verde. To his amazement,. Vlluk says ho. has sent ton him. Tho barber business morely con ceals his real activities. He and his cousin, Ellse Marberry, heed assistance In getting at the root of a mystery tliat already has cost sovcral lives and . threatened Another man Is killed. Tony liar botta. one of Elise's foremen. Be fore he dies, ho accuses one, Umoy Potts of murdering him. i Potts ad mits striking htm with a club, but pleads self-defense. Vilak ' later astonishes Nunnaliy oy Bayins J-i-inev Potts did not commit the mur der. He is silent us- to his theory and asks Nunnaliy to accompany him on a nocturnal visit to the ranch of Gaylord Prentiss, a mys terious and forbidding man, Known to be an enemy of Elise Marberry. Vilak insists that they -wear .rain coats,, though the night is; cloud-. lBSNOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER VI In a few moments Nunnaliy and Vllak were riding slowly up the road, their shadows dancing fan tastically before them on. the gray mud. Their course for the first mile lay over (he highway. They crossed the bridge over the river, which was swiring hungrily be tween its low banks along which ran the railroad. ' "River's getting high," said Vilak, looking down as he crossed it. "If it keeps on rising like this in the mountains, we'll have a bad flood. They have them twice a year here, but this Bnason. there's been much more rain man usual and a few of the inhabitants are getting worried. An English Com pany has a big dam about- twenty miles up, the river, whioh they built to develop wateipower for the mlneB opening- up la .that sec tion and everyone Is certain the dam will lot go some day." ,'A similar dam broke about four years ago and killed two or three hundred people. A lot of water about here, as you've probably no ticed. A lot of little lakes which have been ilnmnied up in recent years to give a steady supply' of water, for there's mighty li(tlo falls in tlo dry season. It's neces sary, but it makes thingst a bit dangerous In an over-wet season like this. However, never , lifo without danger. There's a man up In that tree, aiming a pistol at us, I think," ho added without chang ing tho infection of his voice. "Pull back behind that bridge timber." The chemist obeyed Vilak leaned over in his saddle, snatched up a sharp rock from the roadway and hurled it at the lower branch of the treo he had indicated just at the end of the bridge. There was a sharp cry, then a crash In the brush. "Who was it? Er who? who?" The old man panted excitedly. Vilak placidly brushed the mud from his finger. "Nothing to he alarmed about. Just the common garden variety of holdup man, I thing. After you've been down in this part of the country a while you'll take it as naturally as your meals. The end of the bridge is one of the their favorite places. They wait up there in the trees fioint their rovolverB at you with out being seen and shout down to you to throw your money into tho road. Then after you'ro gone, they come" down and get it.- An-easy and almost Infallibly safe method, for, not being visible, their victimB have nd chance of resistance. "Oh, they don't take chances, these bravo young bloods. A great Improvement over tho American method. In about another half a second we would have heard the Brazilian equivalent of 'hands up,' and if you were a good scared In dian you would have thrown every thing you had In your pockets onto the road and run like mad. Either It was one of these thieving gentry or someono who wanted to kill me for reasons and motives unknown." Tho chemist, his little body tnut on his horse, stared blankly in tho direction of the crashing brush. "Er why didn't you shoot at him? Ant why are you not pursuing him now yes pursuing?'' "I didn't shoot at him because a rock serves the purpose amply an1 I don't kill unless I have to. I'm not pursuing him becnuse we've much more important things to do, whore we may need every bit of energy we have, and we'd only be wasting It on a fruitless chase. I know these Jungles too well. "That man's an eighth of a mile from here now and safe as If ho were a thousand. If he's a thief, the police will get him maybe. Theft's punished worse than mur der here, ftnyway. If he's one of my particular friends, then un doubtedly we'll meet him again. Concentration, mon. cher, Is tho best strategy. Slick to the main road. Or as an esteemed pugilist, who was one of my Intimates, told me, don't guard your eh!n and I hereby exvniftO your solnr plexus." Their horses stepped from the bridge onto the road. A quarter of a mile farther on, tho men saw two dark figures shrouded In tho bushes. As thj riders nenrcd them they began to move farther buck luto the obscurity, but at a cordial ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. SATURDAY, JJUNE 25, 1927. - WBen Lucien Burman ual unt ion from Vllak, halted. Nun nully buw the gleam of knives, then recognized, tho faces of Posquale liranza of the patched cheek aud enormous Aduiu's applo and the one-armed Deto Cicerone of the broken teeth, tho two men he had seen stealing off after Ellse In tho afternoon. ' They grinned at Vllak amiably, the grin making the gaping hole that marked Cicerone's mouth wid er than over, for the figure of At torney DnvtB was often seen at night on tho road that led to the Marberry fasenda.- But even the chemist, unskilled as ho was in the study of human emotions, could de tect a distinct uneasiness in their faces. "Buona sora, nmlcl," Vllak said smilingly. "A beautiful night, it It not so?" "SI, Moester Davis, si, Bl," Cice rone, the more active of tho two, lisped quickly between his broken teeth. "The night cos vor' beauti ful. The moon she beautiful like wiien she Bhlne on Bea at Napoll." "You -stand "here and watcli the moon?" "Si, si, Meestor Davis," they choruBed anxiously. Vllak casually offered them elgft rots. "Take care, my I'riendB. Tho jaguar likes to strike In the moon. Is It not so? Buona sera." The two men eagerly tipped their hats. Vilak and the chemist took tho road again. They passed a clump of trees Bet far back from tho highway. Vilak called his com panion's attention to it. "That's where Attorney Davis lives," he said. " I have a room at Elise's, too, that I use when 1 need it." A short distance farther they reach ed a wide gateway under two caBt anho trees.- It was the entrance to tlie Marberry fazenda. They rode through a low building of white stucco surrounded on all sides by long, carefully screened verandas. Elise Marberry came forward to meet them. The chemist had no difficulty in recognizing her as the black-haired young woman who had thrown a kiss to him from her carriage in the afternoon. - Then she had been dressed In gray; now she wore a gown of yellow silk, em broidered with jade green which outrivaled in brilliancy the flaming-colored macaw which they could see standing on a perch in side the door." Around "her Bupple neck, and hanging down upon her dresB, was a heavy hand-wrought silver chain. ' "Well, here you two are at last," she said as'she took the old mans. hand and squeezed it vigorously, -without .waiting for. tho formality. of Vltak's introduction. "It's u shame the way -.we've, treated your A crying shame.-- But it's all the fault of this wretch of a cousin of mlno.'i He insists on dragging you to this place that only mad crea tures like myself inhabit; ho won't let anyone meet you at the wharf, because he wr.nted to have you stumble against him as though by accident; then when you are here, he won't permit you to stay on my fazenda where I could see that you were comfortable, but insists that you live in that filthy den he calls a hotel. Good evening, my Lord Dictator," she said, turning Jo him. suddenly. - , "Not a dictator, only sensible," he retorted as they innde their way to a gay low-celllnged interior. "Which unfortunately is a virtue most women don't possess.' "Your undoubtedly a dictator." Site invited them to sit down on a bright striped divan. "The only reason. I pay any 111161111011 to you is because you'ro a criminologist and not many .families, possess one." She began toying with a fan made of Irridescent green feathers which brought out all tho beauty of her dark skin. "Hut even your tyranlcal orders couldn't keep me from saying hello to Mr. Nunnaliy, at least." She turned to the old man again. "You see I go to meet the boat every week when it comes in. - It's the ono luxury I permit myself. Really a lot of fun. Everybody does it, yon know, back in tho lit tle towns In the States." She smil ed at him radiantly. "I'm really awfully glad to meet you. I've beard so much about you from Vllak. And I'll bo terribly grate ful If you can run. out somo day and look at thoso mnnganeso de posits and toll us if they're worth anything. Though frankly, I never would have permitted you to come if Vilak hadn't insisted so vigor ously. It's my job to Btay bore because my propertys hero. But I don't think It's quito fair to drag you into it." The old man hastened to reas sure her. " Vilak was quito right In sending for me. It's different er different, yes. But I am er enjoying it." Vilak arose from Uie divan, went over to a table at I ho other end of the room on which lay a few American and Spanish magazines nnd glanced at his cousin sharply. "Something's happened In the house. Late this afternoon," ho said suddenly. "What was It Come. Out with the truth." (To be Continued) A puzzllntj theft has been com mitted, and again Ellse Marberry Is implored to leave Porto Verde, where danger seems to lurk In every ehadow.

One bull moose is quite chummy with A bridge crew working nt Leltlp. A few days ago, while the bridge crow was watch ing the moose, they saw him bristle Ills hairy neck nnd then make a wild charge for tho crew. The hrlilKO-workers left that place with out delay, some going Into the stream and others reaching a safe spot On the bank. What had hap pened was that tho bull moose saw a farmer leading a gontlcmeu cow down the road and was so fright ened that lie fled to tho hrldgemon for protection.. Such Is the story brought to Portland by Fred Assen holmor ot Gardiner. 1 Speaking of deer, the visitor swears that In his area (hose animals are so numcr- ous that they interfere with motor truffle and drlvors ; somotlmos havo to stop their cars and lift the sleeping fawns from Hie middle of the road.
