That, In Itself. Ill view of the large number of such accidents recently, is news.

When a bicyulo rider Is hit by ua automobile or truck tbeio is al ways, and properly so, n suspicion of carelessness on tlio part of the driver of the vehicle Out In justice to the drivers II must be pointed out tbut not oveu a fortune teller or crystal gaier could tell what a youngster riding a bike will do next. If the reader of tbeso lines drives a car he knows well that awful feeling of helplussnoBs that sweeps over ono when the boy on the bicycle Just ahead swerves suddenly over directly Into the normal path of the autouiobllo. A whole book of lavo will not help this situation. Winnings to boys and girls can bo given until we are worn out, but with little re sult. The only thing Hint will help pro vent such aeclclenls will ha great er caro taken by drivei'B of motor vehicles. If every driver will con stantly bear this hazard in mind and whenever bo sees a bicycle rider ahead, slow down and pro paro for unythiug, inuny of the au-to-blko accidents will be avoided.

"He's out stalking." Bannister guessed aloud. "Hope he'll pick I up ilully a sueut and come alter Mir.." I And that aiKurc:.i!y, is what happened. Dick ami his dog hud reached a wide bulge in the nu tuiul path where a high wall of rock formed an amphitheatre. On top of thiy, ou the rur sine, tne hunter saw his quarry. Framed In gulden halo by the moonlight, erect ou all fours uud with tail lashing defiance, a imignltlcont snow leopard confronted him. Hannisior had raised his gun when somethhiK happened to slay his hand. It was the plalntivo lit tle cry ot a leopard kilteu, almost under his feet. Thai's tho mother upon the ledge." he muttered.

Bannister sank, rose again and found himself in the grip of a strong current. Looking upward, he saw what ho thought was his last gllinpuo of the stars. In a mo ment he was enveloped In slyglan durltness, the lushing water roar ing in his ears. .Far along in tho depths, a wild, gurgling scream split the air. Something hard scraped his hand; he grasped it while still clinging to his gun.

"Who are they?" Toole demand ed impatiently. "Geoffrey Whipple and a small band of picked men," the Abbe an swered calmly, "You're guessing!" ejaculated "One-Armed" Toole hopefully.

Hut an Instant later the veteran New York sleuth became grave. "What do you think Jeff and his 1 little playmates would do if tbey took Bannister alive?" he asked. : The detective had never forgotten ' Die look on Jeff Whipple's face the night in the hotel when Bannister kicked him with those boots which might have been made for Prima Camera. The Abbe merely shrugged but his expression was one of pained apprehension. "I'm homesick for Little Old New York," Toole said. "There's never much mystery about a man's finish there. If he doesn't die of pneumonia, or something like that, an automobile runs over him. In the dark, he's apt to mistake a one-eyed milk truck for a motor cycle and in daylight his business might take him to Columbus Cir cle." Abbe Bergere humored him. "No sand storms, no desert witches, no invisible wild beasts in that town eh?" "Of course," Toole continued, re verting to Whipple, "I'd like to null the big fellow and bring him back to New York. But I know it would never do to let Bannister full into Jeff's hands. I'm getting unxioua about the boy." "Well you might be," the Abbe replied. "I must get Whipple before he gets Dick." Toole said, half aloud. (To be continued) KRNR PROGRAM . (1,600 KIlMyelM) SPONSORED BY NEWS-REVIEW DEER CHOKED TO DEATH BY HUNTER HOM.ISTER. Calif., Aug. 7 fAI') Kidon Fowlos.
