"You've been chasing lade

wanted to know.
"1 have seen many of them,

"What brought you here?"
Flique had been waiting for the
question. He drew fourth a wallet
and extracted from It a sheet ol
paper which he presented to' Sam
uels. A clipping from the classi
fied columns of a French newspa
per was pasted to the sheet.
"I can't read French," Samuels
said irritably.
"M. I'Antlquaire will translate,"
Flique murmured.
A typewritten legend Indicated
that the clipping hail been cut from
the Clairon du Marin, a Marseilles
newspaper. I read the legend and
then the clipping
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Dan Parados, San Lucas Island,

Flique beamed agreeably at ur
whilst we digested this Infnrmn

stared at It, folded It slowly, and
tucked It Into a vost pocket.
"I'll keep this. If you dWi

lost Its timbre.

was taken over to the little place
belonging to S. P. Hunter Just west

a nice modern home with as fine

I have seen In the valley fur the

The five-year-old apricot and
peach trues were loaded nnd they
had been heavily thinned. Mr,
Hunter has all kinds of berry and
grape vines, all in bearing.
All of that section lias been
transformed since the Talent Irri

of peaches and other fruit trees,
all looking fine.
