Som etim es she ju st com es up behind your back, and som etim es she drops on you from above. And th ere a re tim es, too, when she com es w alking right up to you from the front, and you don’t try to get out of her way because she is in disguise and you don’t recognize her. T h a t’s the way it was with John Hoven, New York city. You know, John sta rte d his adventurin g c a re e r as a sailo r before the m a st, und every sailor has half a dozen or m ore ad v en tu res he Down Florida way where the can tell you about. But the one John re m e m b ers best is his first chambers of commerce require that everything be different, Santa one—a thrill he got in 1894, and still rem em b ers. goes to work on an aquaplane.

In the evening, m ost of the crew went morning! Y ashore to see the sights of the town, John went too—and that’s when Old Lady Adventure walked up and grabbed hint. You know, I said that the old girl with the thrill bag sneaked up on John in disguise. She did. She cam e in the clothes customarily worn by another lady known to the world os Little Rosie Romance. And John never knew the difference until it was too late. On their way into town, the sailors from the ship stopped to watch a group of Spanish señoritas and senors dancing their native dances. John says he thinks the dance they were doing was the fandango. Anyway, it was the sort of dance in which a señorita who wants a new partner, just throws her shawl around the neck of some bird on the sidelines who looks good to her. John was standing pretty close to the platform where the dancing was going on, and the first thing you know a shawl was looped around his neck. John Adds Fandango to His Accom plishm ents. Now John says he never was much of a dancer, and fandangos were way out of his class. But this girl was a beauty, and one look from her big round eyes had John feeling that he’d dance in a barrel of red hot nails if it would please her any. “ I got away with the dance Donner and Blitzen cant fly through the air like a plane, so old St. Nick tries a new wrinkle. ▼BZ.BO8B F B O D U C T S S e a ttle , W a sh in g to n WANTED — OLD GOLD H ig h e st gold, A "It was only a drop of about ten feet to the ground, and the minute I felt earth under my feet I ran like a deer for the waterfront. I reached it all out of breath, for I had never stopped running the entire distance of alm ost a mile. I went aboard ship and sneaked below. Once in the forecastle I stopped to catch my breath again. I was still shaking like a leaf. I started to remove my coat and felt something in the pocket. I took it out. It was a double-edged dagger, about eight inches long, with a hollow groove in the middle.” Just another link in the chain of evidence against John. The girl had planted that knife in his pocket to make the case against him all the stronger. He hid the thing under his m attress and tried to calm his jumpy nerves. And just then one of John's ship m ates cam e into the forecastle. "Say, what’s the matter with you?" he wanted to know. "You look pale as a ghost, and I saw you running.” Well sir, John says he knew he could trust this pal of his so he blurted out the whole story. And his shipmate laughed. "Why," he said, "you just fell for an old swindle. I thought it had been played out long’ ago in these parts. That was only a dummy you saw in the room, and the blood was probably catsup or something. The police were fakers, and all they wanted to do was make you give them all your money to keep them quiet. Don’t play around with any of those Spanish señoritas. You’re playing with fire if you do.” (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) P r ic e s s ilv e r and P aid fo r p la tin u m discarded Jew elry.

She led me to a little cafe—a two-story building with a lot of tables and chairs out in the open and a big canopy sloping down the side of the wall. There was a big bay window above this canopy and a sm all side entrance led to the room above." The girl led John into that side entrance. He followed her up the stairs and into a big room on the second floor. "She spoke to m e in Spanish,” John says, "but I couldn't understand a word. However, I said, ‘Si, Si,’ to everything she said. She smiled, and so did I. Then she • opened a cupboard, brought out som e wine glasses and an empty bottle and made a motion meaning that she was going to take the bottle and have it filled. Then she left the room.” John could hardly believe his luck. When the girl was gone he began to look around the room. There was an alcove at one end, with portiers drawn across it. He walked over and peeped through those curtains—and right there John got the shock of his life. In the alcove was a bed. and on that bed lay a dead man, his throat slashed, and blood dripping all over the floor! “ I felt a chill run up my spine,” he says, "and for a minute I was so stiff I couldn't move. I turned away from the grisly sight in the alcove and ran toward the door. I turned the knob, but the door didn’t give. It was locked!” John ran to the window—and what he saw there made the hair stand straight up on his head. Down below in the street was the girl, coming back—and with her were two big husky Spanish policemen. John says that thousands of thoughts ran through his head then, but the principal one was the realization that he was the victim of a frame-up. That girl had killed a man and was going to put tlie blame on him! Says he: "I knew my only chance lay in getting out of that room. The girl and the policemen were almost to the door now. I waited until they were all in the hallway, and then I threw open the window. They would be opening the door of the room at any moment, and I had to hurry. Swiftly climbing through the window, I slid down the canopy below it. W N U S ervie« .
