You Are Cordially Invited to be Present E: GRIFFIN; Pastor: SHELTON, FRENCH, Sec: VOLUME VII MIDNIGHT IS SICK IN GUTHRIE, OK., SANITARIUM NOW Wants to Cuss About Conditions in Texas, But Decides to Pray Instead Park Sanitarium, Guthrie, Okla.—Now you see where I am as I take my pen in hand to write you a few lines this week, and I am hardly able to owrite, for I am here because the old wagon is down and almost out, but Dr. H. W. Conrad declares that it is not to the end of the trail is not yet. He seems to know his business, and I must have some few things to say to you this week. People are getting ready to see President Harding take his seat, and I saw in the paper the other day where he was packing his trunk getting ready for a vacation. But there will not be much vacation in this, for we are all hoping and praying that he is going to do his duty, yet I have a question mark behind it when it comes to my people, but I want you all to hope and pray that my belief is without foundation, but a mere dream. This is not impossible. I want to believe myself that I have made a mistake in thought, and that I just have an evil mind. President McKinley was a good president, until he courted the south, and then things got crooked. That is what happened to my big fat friend, William Howard-Taft. He became southerized, and told the south tha the would not appoint one of us to a federal office if it did not please the southern white man. The direct road to a man's heart is through his stomach, and often that is his heart, hence I am a little apprehensive, because the south is reaching President Harding's stomach. When a man is eating with another man, and filling his belly full of his grub, he is liable to say anything, and I want my people to wake up. He was in Atlanta the other day, his rights, and I am told that he is trying to build up a Republican party in the south with the white south, and this will mean the elimination of the Negro. I am not going to say more just now, but will watch and see. I am out of Texas for a few hours and I am just as full of cuss words as a bed bug is full of human blood when he has spent a night on a big, fat, juicy fellow. I feel like outcussing the man who invented cussing, but that would not do just now, for I have a few things which I desire to say, and if I get to thinking too much damn, -then I will be disqualified, hence, let us pray.

Five Hundred Dollars to Be Raised for New Western University Dormitory Sunday, January 30th has been set apart as Educaational Day. This church, with its membership and friends expect to raise on this day for Christian education $500. The entire proceeds of the day will be for the great need of Christian education. This money will be kept in Wyandotte county, used in helping to erect an addition in the way of a dormitory at Western University, which is in great need for the accommodation of boys and girls who have had to be turned away for the past two years, for the lack of more room. The foundation is being put in this winter, and when spring opens up, the building of 35 or 40 rooms will be erected. All the work is and will be done by cooled labor of this county. If the world or the race needs any one thing today more than another, it is Christian education. Western University is a Kansas City, Kansas, product, so far as its location is concerned, and the people in and about this community should take the lead in its development in making it stand out to all this Western country-as a "Chariot of Fire" for higher Christian education. The big mass meeting will be Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m., when the entire school and faculty will have charge of the program. Prof. Jackson will be in charge of the music. J. H. CLAYBORNE Among our successful business men, Mr. J. H. Clayborne, who has been in the grocery business for a number of years, at Tenth street and Washington boulevard has shown greater prosperity than the average merchant in this particular line of business. Mr. Clayborne is a careful buyer and in many instances knows more about the goods he buys than the party selling them. His stock is kept large and fresh with a high grade of goods. Mr. Clayborne has a beautiful home, second door from his business, besides several other pieces of valuable real estate. The supervisor of the Neighbors' Bible Class visited and asked for Pastor Holmes to see about a family without coal. L DAY AT THE FIRST T. E. CHURCH Street and Nebraska Avenue JANUARY 30,1921 PROGRAM Education.....Pastor Music by the Choir EDUCATIONAL MASS MEETING CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, 3 Friends of the W while Living. Over Four Mo The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World, a Fraternal Insurance Order operating in all the states of the United States, and the District of Columbia, with a membership of over 150,000, and Total Assets exceeding $250,000, has made its start on the Kansas side. The Missouri side is growing in leaps and bounds, 1789 members having been added since Sept. 6th, 1920—Four Months. A Local Circle was set up on the Kansas side about two months ago, having been gotten together by Mrs., Mae Burton of 2612 North Fifth street, and has grown from 20 members to 48 in that time. The Royal Circle gives its members benefits while living, paying $7 per week for sickness, $7 per week for Accident, $150.00 at Death and places a monument at the grave of each deceased worth $100.00. After a membership of 90 days your policy may be increased from any amount as high as $1000.00. Your sick Dues come from the Supreme Office and not from your Local Treasurer, which makes you sure of getting your sick Dues. The total cost to stay in the Order is $1.25 per Month and NO TAXES. For information regarding the order write or see the Grand Supervisor, Mr. A. L. Rich- Negro Team Members Barred in Athletics Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 26.—Harvard's varsity track team which had planned a southern trip for the spring races will not go below the Mason & Dixon line as a result of action by University of Virginia and the naval academy. To a communication from Major Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of athletics at Harvard, saying that the Crimson team included two athletics of Negro blood, both institutions replied that they considered it best under the circumstances that track meets with Harvard in April should not be held. The cancellation has been made by Harvard, Major Moore said today, adding that the initiative in the matter had been taken by him. When the dates were arranged the fact Harvard's Negro members might not be welcome was not considered, but subsequently both Virginia and Anrapolis were told that the Crimson team included Negroes and that unless Harvard would be welcomed with them it could not come without them. "Both the naval academy and Virginia reported that there were so many southerners on their, teams that the contest might prove embarrassing not only for them but also for the Negro members of the Harvard squad. Accordingly the southern trip has been cancelled," said Major Moore. The track team will have a spring trip, however, Ohio State College has invited the Crimson to a duel meet there and one or two colleges north of the Mason & Dixon line may be met during the spring. A similar action was recently taken by the team of the Ohio State University, which has several Negro members.

CHURCH NEWS SUNDAY IS EDUCATIONAL DAY Sunday morning brought out a great throng of worshippers and as has been for a long time, many had to go to the gallery. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Griffin, filled his pulpit to the satisfaction of his faithful and earnest congregation, who ever enjoy his strong and helpful sermons. The stranger and visitor ever feels the warm welcome at any and all of the services, and their expression of attentiveness show the good each one gets out of the services. The pastor, at the evening service, told of the growth of the church of the Wesleys and its doctrines, and the progress of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and what it stood for, relating the official duty and requirements of the officers of the church. It was interesting and helpful to all those who had taken upon themselves the church obligations. Sunday is Educational Day. The Sunday school is burning with zeal to reach the goal of 500 by Easter, but not only this, but are developing into a school of Bible students. The boy and the girl is seeking the truths that are being taught by their teacher, and many are becoming ripe scholars when the review of the lesson is gone over.

He engaged in them both in an elastic and bounding spirit. Dullness was absent, yet the preaching was plain and simple, not in allusions and doubtful terms, not in innuendoes and learned phrases; not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but in words which the Holy Ghost teacheth; not with refinement of the school, but so that the women and children, and simple people could understand. Sunday afternoon the First Baptist church met with us, the occasion of their coming was for the purpose of administering the ordinance of baptism. Their pastor, Rev. Bowren, officiated. It was a serious ordinance indeed, and was engaged in with solemnity. This Sunday our church will administer the ordinance of baptism to all candidates who are prepared to receive it. Sunday at 3 o'clock, Rev. J. W. Wilson, of Kansas City, Mo., will preach for the Do-All-You-Can Club. Many other able numbers will appear on the program with Rev. Wilson. Brother Knapper this week received for the church a new supply of budget sets, all members who have not received these sets may get one from him. Some of those who are standing as candidates for baptism have already asked for the privilege of giving weekly, and asked for these sets. Brother L. Hayden is the secretary of the budget committee; Brother R. L. Bruce is treasurer. The members are realizing more and more that the expenses connected with the King's business goes on each week, and He is, depending on them to pay them. The pastor reminded the members that the church had a treasurer to help those in need, and if some got so that they could not give any money to support the work and needed the church to help them they need only let these wants be known. The evangelist's meeting that has been going on for seventeen days came to a close Wednesday night. The interest kept up from the beginning to the end, people coming from all of the churches and taking a part in the services. A lasting friendship between the pastors and the members of Green Chapel and Eighth street is certain to develop from their co-operation in that great revival. The outstanding features of the revival was the unity, spiritual preaching and singing, no collection aside from what was given at the door, no late adjournments, the many converts. The Mission Circle, under the leadership of Mrs. Maggie A. Hayden, is going forward with an enlarged program for the year of 1921. After the study hour the Mission Circle elected its officers for the ensuing year. Those elected were Mrs. Maggie A. Hayden, president; Mrs. Saucella Grover, vice-president; Mrs. Lillie Wilson, secretary; Mrs. Minnie Johnson, assistant secretary; Mrs. J. L. Jackson, treasurer; Mrs. Mattie Hunter, chaplain. A large crowd was present. The pastor officiated. Mrs. Della Scott Kemp, president of the Women's Home and Foreign Mission convention of the Kaw Valley district, was a welcome visitor at the Mission Circle last. Friday. The occasion of Mrs. Kemp's visit was in the interest of the work of Mrs. Frances B. Watson of this city who is doing missionary work in Liberia. The Circle cheerfully contributed five pounds of dry good value at $5 for Mrs. Watson's work. It is plainly evident that our church cannot get along successfully without, its choir; it fills a prominent need. The assistant officers and teachers had the Sunday school in charge last Sunday. All the regular officers and teachers were present except one, but the work was in the hands of the assistants for training. They did fine and were commended by the superintendent. Mr. Hryden was elected librarian of the Sunday school and instructed to take whatever steps necessary to get the books the different teachers need to strengthen them in their work. Mr. Hryden will have to help him, the pastor and the superintendent. The B'Xi PU'D is having real live meetings each Sunday. It is a pleasing sight to see so many children who are members of the church present at the preaching services. Jerel Bester is the head school agent and his many friends are delighted.

She demand- ed that they be washed over, which the woman refused to do, and the white man looked this poor woman |. up and with his drawn revolver tried to march her back to his.place. When this was refused, he knocked her down, clubbed her like he was beating on another man. She ran Fight into the police headquarters for’ protection, and what she got about it was the police officers said: “You niggers are charging too much for washing for white folks and we are going to put a stop to it. We will se¢é about this gentleman having a gun.” That ended it; draw your own moral, and I will pray. I hope you are getting ready, to attend the meeting of the Naional Race Congress jn May at Washington for it will do us more good than going to see the President take his seat.

He discovers that the car carrying him to the vessel is in charge of a young lady who wears a chauffeur's uniform. Unseen forces try to prevent them reaching the vessel. They are arrested and taken to a police station. They are released by the desk sergeant in charge when the girl impersonates the daughter of a prominent political "boss." Marchbanks attempts to pay a second chauffeur and is accused of passing counterfeit money. Finally they reach the vessel, the "Cleo." They are pursued by a tug, and Miss Person, a passenger jumps overboard to join a man on the small boat. The tug is repelled with hot water. The enter the Ocos river, during the play of a searchlight, which causes Rountree to commit suicide, fearing arrest. In the midst of a tropical hurricane, they make entrance into the river, but a sunken log damages the machinery. While fixing it, three natives board the ship by way of trees and spy, then disappear. Crawford confesses to the captain his love for Miss Rountree, whom the captain also loves. Marchbanks, Archibald and Miss Rountree start on the trip overland, after having been warned not to go by the elder Miss Rountree. Secret service officers are about to board the Cleo as the three leave the vessel. After half a day's march Archibald disappears and they camp "The men from this village are frieneds of mine," he explained in turn. "You recollect I told you I had been in this country before, when I was a boy. The gentleman here," he pointed to the native who had grasped my shoulder, "played with me when we were both youngsters—when I was with Mr. Rountree. Because of the effects of the Santa Marie volcano becoming active they had moved their village, and I was somewhat put to to find if I feared for your lives. There are tigers and what is worse, small poisonous snakes, along the coast here. There may have been a tiger, or what you call a catamount, in the tree above you now." "No there isn't, Archibald," I replied, regaining my lost courage, "for I climbed it trying to fix a treebed for Miss Rountree. There's nothing up there but that bird with the cracked voice." "A night bird—and harmless," the black man said. "If you care to take a walk, it would be well if you would come with us to the village. While the accommodations there are crude, they will make us comfortable. I doffed my American dress to show these people I am still friendly toward them." We found your collar, I said. "While I slept the perspiration had wilted it and I threw it off. He then spoke to the native, who raised a cry and within a few minutes eight or ten smaller natives appeared. Then we set out for the village, arriving there an hour later. Miss Rountree was given into the care of an elderly woman. When we said good night, she whispered: "Tomorrow will see whether this trip has been for nothing or not. Sleep well, Sir Tree-Climbing Knight." "What will someone on the Cleo say when you tell him about clinging to me, back there in the jungle?" For the life of me I couldn't help but ask. I wanted her to know I was aware of the fact that she was engaged to marry Crawford. "There's some things better for not being told," she lauged over her shoulder, as she disappeared into a grass hut. Archibald and I slept in a sort of central building which probably was used for village meetings. We made our beds by raking up some grass from where it was scattered out, like hay, near the building. Two minutes after I had stretched out I was fast asleep and it seemed but another minute until the sunlight across my face. woke me. The village was alive and the spirit of the jungle had changed. The dark road by which we had entered the village the night before, now looked inviting for a stroll; and flowers, unseen at night, lined its way. The sun had topped the lower trees when we started. Several natives followed us, carrying part of the luggage, water-bottles and instruments. Archibald walked ahead, I followed him and Miss Rountree was close behind me. "Can you take the sun at noon today, captain," the black said, "and locate little Santa Marie if perchance we cannot see it?" he asked. "Look here, Archibald," I said. "Are, you going into the ashes thrown by the volcano?" "Yes, sir. That is why we are carrying water-bottles." "And you want to go to a white stone dwelling house, with a small tower on one corner?" I guessed. He stopped and turned in amazement. "How did you know?" he asked. "I saw it from the tree I climbed yesterday." "When we arrive at the edge of the ash-strewn land we will try your plan of observation again. If we can still see the house, half our troubles are over. I thought, as did Doctor Rountree, that it was covered with many feet of ashes of the eruption. That is why we were compelled to have a man along who could calculate angles, and, being given two points of a triangle, could find the third." It was afternoon before we reached the edge of the devastated country. The line was sharply drawn. In its last eruption, the only one for centuries, the great Santa Marie volcano had burst open on the north side and discharged its ashes and lava in that direction as if from a great gun. I picked the highest tree I could climb and gazed over the barren country. Not two miles away the house stood forth like a black splotch on a white coverlet. I took the direction accurately with my compass and then descended. Single file we began the trip across the volcanic ash-field. I have walked in snow a foot deep and this trip reminded me somewhat of the experience. We sunk to our knees in the ashes, the top of which was covered wit a thin coating of the hardened substance. At times, when we crossed a depression in the ground we went to our waists. The Indians crossed themselves and murmured prayers. At last we rested on a knoll the wind had swept clear of all but a thin coating of the volcano's discharge. The fine ashes had entered our throats, causing them to smart and burn. We drank sparingly from the water-bottles. We had rested for probably ten minutes, when one of the Indians, on looking over the ash-desert, uttered an exclamation and pointed to a part a mile away, evidently approaching the house, but at an angle different from ours. There were four in the party and it seemed as though they were having trouble, as the ground they were crossing was uneven and therefore they had to cross more depressions than we did. "That's Fred and his party!" Miss Rountree exclaimed. "Just think of it! Here we are almost there and yet they may secure what has caused so much trouble and death and misery. It's too bad!" From where we stood I could not see the house, but I knew its location. Turning to Archibald, I asked: "You haven't a pistol that will carry a greater distance than mine, have you?" He drew forth from a voluminous breech-cloth he wore a pistol known on the plains of the United States as a "Colt's 44." "This will kill a man a long distance from the muzzle, sir," he sail, handing it to me. I gave him my smaller pistol and started toward the house. "You people follow," I instructed them. "Keep me in sight if you can, but don't take any chances with deep ashes or the guns of the other party. I'll hold the house till you come!" I don't think the men in Fred's party had observed our party. Just after I left the party I saw one of the men of Fred's party fall and the others spent some minutes extricating him from the four feet of ashes they had blundered into. Seeing them hindered thus, I made a slight detour around a ridge, or drift of the ashes, so as to reach the house unobserved. In this I was successful, for three-quarters of an hour after I reached the house. Here I found the ashes drifted as high as the house on the south side, and I had to go around to the north, where the ground was comparatively clear. The mountain, or volcano, when the eruption occurred, had thrown the ashes with great force to the north. The house, acting as an obstacle to the ash blizzard, so to speak, had formed a wind-break, and the ground near the house on the north had escaped the ashes. It was from this direction I entered. The house was of stone and built to withstand tropical storms. The interior was dark, and I went just far enough inside the front door to conceal myself. Here I waited for Fred's party to come up. As I knew they could approach from but one direction—the north—I paid no attention to anyone who would come from either of the other directions. To enter the house, they would have to come to the door I guarded. KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE I waited until I became tired and then filled and lighted my pipe. In all that great desert of ashes there was not a bird, beast or insect, and one who has never been in such a place cannot realize what a lonely someness overtakes a felow when he cannot hear anything. I wished for a few flies to buzz around. Even a mosquito would have been welcome. At length I heard the sound of voices. I knocked the fire from my pipe, looked to see that my weapon was loaded and backed farther indoors. A few minutes later the man I had seen on the pilot house of the tug the evening Miss Person leaped overboard came around the corner of the house. With him came his party. I waited until they were within fifty feet of the door. Then I stepped half way out, so as to conceal the vital portions of my body. The revolver and my arm, together with a small bit of my body, was all they could see. "Hand up, gentlemen!" I commanded. Fred, leading, stopped instantly, somewhat surprised. Not so, however, with the man following. As with but one motion his hand went to his pocket, he drew forth a pistol and fired. Quick as the motion was, however, I had withdrawn so that his bullet struck the stone door-facing and richscheted. I reached around until I could see to aim and sent forth a bullet. I heard an oath and when I peeped around again, I saw Fred holding his right arm with his left hand. I fired again. This time the hat of the man who had shot at me flew up and he dropped his revolver to place his hand on the spot the bullet had plowed. The others had disappeared. They were natives and evidently had concluded there was no use of taking part in the white man's fight. Another look convinced me that Fred's arm had been broken by my bullet. As his companion reached down to recover his weapon, I stepped boldly out and fired a shot at the weapon, which at the time was within an inch of the man's downstretched hand. My bullet hit its target and sent the weapon between its owner's legs and out of reach. Before he could turn to recover it I brought the muzzle of my weapon to a line with his breast. "If you make another move toward that gun," I said, "I'll be compelled to kill you." "If it isn't that damned sea captain again!" Fred exclaimed. The other man promptly elevated his hands and I reached behind Fred with one hand and secured his revolver. "Back up against the wall!" I commanded, and they did so. "Now see if you can ease your companion's arm," I said, kicking the recoolver which lay on the ground out of reach. "My arm's broken," Fred remarked. "If you'll give me a cigarette, Turner, it'll stand until I hear what the captain has to say." The man Turner placed a cigarette in Fred's lips, struck a match and as the injured man puffed contentedly, he asked: "What's the reason for this, captain?" "Wait until Miss Rountree arrives; she'll let you know." The man laughed. "Miss Rountree —well, that's a surprise to me. I've always called her Elsie. Seems a bit odd to hear her addressed as Miss Rountree. She's my sister and she may resent the fact that you shot me." "She's something of a sister to me, also," I said. "How's that?" "She's going to marry the other fellow," I explained. "By jove, that's rich!" Fred exclaimed, laughing. He could bear more pain that any man I ever ran across. He seemed to be a more likeable fellow than I imagined. "So you're left out in the cold, eh, Captain Fortunehunter?" "I never knew before she had a fortune," I said somewhat angrily. "Well, you knew if this trip had panned out as they wished 'she'd have enough so that you wouldn't have to beg around ship-owners' offices for a job. See here, Mr. Captain this is Mr. Turner. He's a deputy United States marshal and it will be to your interest to listen to what I say." "His authority ceased when he left the three-mile zone out of Frisco," I broke in. "The Guatemalan government recognizes no commissions granted in California. So far as that's concerned, we parley on the supposition that my little gun here is worth half a dozen deputy marshals out of their bailiwick. And another thing, Mr. Rountree, I've never asked your sister to be my wife, and, if she comes into fortune, I'd never ask her to share it with a penniless mariner." Fred winced and placed his arm in a more comfortable position. "That's good," he said. "I know you're down and out. When you get back to Frisco after this escapade you'll not be able to land a job as deck-hand on a two-ton tug boat. Now, listen: You're the only man here who can take a sight or find the thing Elsie wants. The key she has is worthless. When you find it so, throw up the whole thing, take her back to the coast; then come up here with me and find it, from my key, and I'll make you a present of five thousand dollars. I would have divvied with uncle and sister, but that dotty old chump wanted half of it to use in evangelizing the world—teaching the burr-heads in Africa how to pray! Think of it! So we quarreled—and busted up. How about it?" "I'm master of the Cleo until it reaches Frisco," I replied. "And you'll be dumped ashore without a cent," he said. "The Cleo's mortgaged. My aunt put up all she had and signed notes for more, and the ship will be libeled for the remainder as soon as she docks." I heard voices and I knew my party was coming near. "You may keep your five thousand dollars, Mr. Rountree," I told him. "I'll see if I can get a job and deck-hand on a two-ton tug boat." "Hello, sis," Fred greeted his sister, as she and Archibald appeared. A moment later the natives who had accompanied us appeared, having in tow the Indians who were with Fred and Turner. "What has happened, Fred?" the girl asked. I noticed, however that she did not offer any assistance. "The man fired at me and I protected myself," I explained. "You see," the girl said without emotion, as she turned to me, "it paid you to follow my advice and practice shooting. Let Archiball guard these men." I turned the weapon over to the black, who extracted the shells, reloaded it and worked the trigger with his finger, the muzzle pointing directly at Turner. The deputy marshal showed signs of extreme nervousness when the hammer rose as Archibald carefully pressed the trigger, stopping before the hammer went far enough back to release. Seemingly satisfied and ready to do his stunt of guard duty he bowed to me and turned to his prisoners. I followed M'ss Rountree to the doorway. "Will you please clear aspace away, Captain Marchbanks," sae said, "and see if you can find where a steel pin is imbedded in the concrete?" With my foot I cleared away the rubbish and then, with my hands, the dust. The pin was then visible. When she had examined it, the girl drew a paper from her waist pocket. "Now, captain," she said, producing a tape-line, "please measure 100 feet north, with an eastern variation of 5°. I did so and this took me to a point at the edge of the clear space. "West, by 108 south, 100 feet." West, by 10 south, 100 feet. This brought me to the corner of the uncivered enclosure. "South by east, 90 feet." Turner was standing on the spot. "Now," said the girl, "if you wish, Captain Marchbanks, you can relieve Archibald and he will dig there, or, if you prefer, you can dig and he will relieve you when you get tired." I chose to dig and did so for perhaps twenty minutes. At the end of the time the girl came and peered into the hole. "Are you two feet below the surface?" I surrendered the pick to Archibald, who worked for about the same length of time. His pick struck the prehistoric lava and he ceased. I was watching the girl's face and over it I saw a shadow of great disappointment creep. "Perhaps we have had all this trouble and death for nothing," she said. "Are you sure about your measurements, captain, and is your compass correct?" I spent half an hour going over the ground, reaching the same spot each time. The girl was silently weeping. Then I recollected something. "Fred has the correct key—he told me so," I said. "Where is it, Fred?" the girl asked. "The captain lies," her-brother asserted. Instantly I became ship-master again. I was not in my element, but I had not been shorn of my authority yet. So I took command. Do you wish to keep your family in perfect health? If so, let me be your groceryman.

He did so, after giving the man permission to lower arms his arms to a more comfortable position. It's hard to keep one's arms straight up for any length of time. I approached the man who sat nursing his broken arm. "Where's the key?" I asked. "Where you can't find it," he replied. I reached down and raised his unwounded arm. "Now I'm going to do something I've never had to do before," I said. "Tell me where the correct key is or I'll kick your broken arm off your body." Miss Rountree touched my arm. "That would be too cruel, Captain Marchbanks," she said. "Let it go." Archibald, too, had lowered his weapon. "Cover that man!" I barked the command with such effect that the Negro raised the weapon and pressed the trigger until it had almost reached the point where the hammer would fall. But he recovered himself and let the hammer down easy. I walked over to where Turner's gun lay, picked it up and examined it It appeared to be in good order. Then I went up to where Archibald J. H.

The natives had gathered in a half circle, watch. I swung one of the guns around and fired over their heads. "Vanoose! Skedaddle! Muy pronto!" I yelled. Five seconds later they were conspicuous by their absence. "Now, Fred," I said slowly. "I'm going to give you a chance.
