A marked change in the atti- tude of drivers of automobiles is! apparent today. Where they were in the habit of parking at any time in any spot, they now follow the instructions of the traffic of- ficer and park only where the ordinances allow, it*is said.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SYNOPSIS: On the train to La- redo, where he intends going into unezplored Mexico to search for Bil Langton, his vanisheg aviator friend, Frank Grahame recalls sto- ries he has heard of the dangerous land he must visit. He has left Hollywood on impulse, smarting under the movie star, Janice Kent's sharp refusal of his marriage pro- posal. He also has left a proposal from the great Myberg, producer, to head a party which would film a picture in the Mexican jungle with Janice as star. Chapter 16 ADVENTURE BEGINS T ANOTHER time, in New York, Frank had been yarning with a chicle ‘uyer he had met at the Explorer’s Club. “Mexico,” stated this man, “in old Porfio Diaz’s time used to dump all their undesirables, all those con- victed for this, that and the other thing, down on the Quintan’ Roo coast.

He knew a bit of soldier- ing, of mining, of trade, and of vari- ous other supplementary occupa- tions. He could make his living, if not his fortune, at any spot in the world, whether it be working for wages, or by feeding and clothing himself from what the country of- fered. He had panned raw gold from gravel in Alaska, Columbia and Siberia. He had dressed tools in the oil fields of Oklahoma and Tampico, with an eye watchful for the main chance. He had made a tidy fortune in oll leases, only to lose it in a Cen- tral American plantation venture. Don Raoul had dined well. home. Or mayte the ones I saw were all second generation.

The phrase “something interesting .. . some thingnarwhite man would like to see” Kept’forming and recurring in his*mind, tke a bright motto en- graved upon a knight's escutcheon. Frank supposed that the first qualification of every adventurer was curiosity. Curiosity to see what was on the other side of the fence, the other side of the hill, the other/ side of the world. This .nquisitiveness was as much a part of him as his limbs; it was the basic mental equipment of those who devoted their lives to research of any kina; it sent savants to their) laboratories as well as farm lads down to their ships. While his heart was sore, he real- ized that it was not Janice Kent who had sent him south. She had There's been companies | make his dish of pollo y arroz. He had regained in an expedition back of Caracas in search of gold and emeralds. So, while his memory of Janice was not dimmed, nor the lonely sensation gone from him, it was with some new stirring of anticipa- tion that he arose, dressed, and left his cabin to the sound of the ship’s cables running through the hawse- oles. His hip had brought him to the point where he jumped off into the unknown. ON Raoul Ortega Rijon y Men- doza had dined well. He felt very comfortable with the world.

He leaned against the doorway of the restaurant, savoring the last pleasures of the meal when aittle black dog scampered arouné.the corner of the street and galloped through the dust toward Don Raoul. It was evident that the dog would pass the gentleman at a distance of about’ five yards. Don Raoul drew Bis revolver from his belt. He cocked and leveled it at the loping dog and pressed the trigger. The report and the yelp of the little animal broke the still- ness of the sleepy street. The dog squirmed in the dust, and began to crawl back to the corner from which it came. Don Raoul, in the act of replacing his revolver, made a iiss'ng noise of self re | proach, and aimed and fired again. | The dog quivered and lay still.
