We want It; we will get it. “I am in no great, hurry. It takes time to arouse people to action—particularly to a migration by 1.000,000 persons from the territory we, want. It will take time to con- 1 vince them it is best to go. and unavoidable. My people do not like bloodshed, but, sometimes it is necessary. “When the psychological moment arrives I will strike at the heart of your industrial life—lndianapolis. And if that fails. I will blow the city and Central Indiana off the map! Do not try to match wits with me. If you do I have torments devised for you and the one we both love. “BLACK HAWK.’’ B B B 808, conscious that Black Hawk had killed Quinnstin almost under his very eyes hastened to! form an organization whose work would not cease until the mocking Phantom had been vanquished. t In the Postoflice telephone com- j pany employes rigged up a large j switchboard to which trunk lines were brought in. A portable radio ■ receiver was also set ♦ up. Desks, filing cabinets, maps, all the paraphernalia of a military headquarters were assembled. Agents McHugh and Wilson | helped him select a trustworthy staff j of secretaries and investigators. Even the telephone operators were care- 1 fully chosen. While this work was going on' Mr. Breen dropped in to see Bob. j "I'm working on something hot,” he said. "I have a hunch I may be j able to give you something really | important.” Don't run any unnecessary risks,” | Bob warned. “We have people whose | business it is to do that.” “Don't worry about me.” Breen j said, smiling mildly. “I have an idea I know more about this case than any one. I used to know something about explosives. But I could learn a lot more at the library!” If Police Chief Morrissey had heard that, he w-ould doubtless have put a man on to trail Breen day and night. The Chief was in a difficult position. While the federal authorities were investigating the Black Hawk, he was “holding the bag.” Morrissey had not been inactive.

however. H<- knew most of the cir- * rumstances of the crime. And he was in possession of an astounding anonymous note. It told him to watch Major Martyne very carefully I have reason to know,” the writer i said, “that he engineered this en- ! tire plot himself, just to get in the | limelight and pose as a hero.” It wasn’t Martyne. the Chief was j sure. But that odd poet fellow who was hanging around all the time— Br umont was his name. What was he really doing in Indianapolis? Was he by any chance Black Hawk j or one of his men? ann IT seemed that every one was anxious to help in Indianapolis’ time of distress—the state police, the United States army, and such groups as th“ and. A. R Boy Scouts and Y. M C. A. offered assistance. The whole thing was fantastic, unbelievable. It was a three-act melodrama that couldn’t be shaken off. It seemed like a joint nightmare plotted by Jules Verne, Baron Munchausen and the Marx brothers. Believe it or not, here it was. “Such things never happen in Indianapolis,” commented Otto P. Deluxe, “but dammit, sir. they HAVE!” “Black Hawk,” one of Major Martyne’s visitors, said, “personifies the reactionary forces we have been fighting throughout th depression. He is an enemy to civilization, and we must fight him as a common enemy!” “He is more than a fancied personage,” Bob amended. ‘‘He could wipe out the city of Indianapolis in an hour, if he tried!” With this he called upon all the patriots, military and police organizations to aid him in the great man-hunt. Every member was asked to be a secret investigator, and to send, by telephone, mail or telegram, any information they came upon. “The smallest clew may be helpful,” Bob said. “We don’t know who Black Hawk Is, or what he looks like. So watch everybody you know, especially those whose actions and absences are suspicious. We don’t, know who Black Hawk’s assistants are, but he must have many of them, and they are extremely dangerous. Three times they have been close to me and have esIcaped. The police tell me many of you have seen mysterious strangers in ; the vicinity of your homes, taking i photographs of business or civic or : government buildings. Report anyj thing like that immediately. We will i do a lot of useless work, but we will !at least be thorough. I advise you Ito keep your windows locked at ; night, and stay home after dark. We don't know where Black Hawk may strike next!” As soon as his telephones were set up, Bob ordered that all state line ; points be communicated with, and i state troopers ordered to send to : him full reports on all persons I crossing the line in either direction. B B B HE also ordered an air patrol be established with headquarters at Indianapolis municipal airport. Two army pursuit planes, armed, were ready at Schoen in instant readiness to take off on word from j him. A direct wire was to be held I open to Major Cox at Municinal ! airport at all hours. “Do you intend to order all planes ; grounded?” he was asked by Cox. "Not at this time,” Bob said. “Black Hawk may not use a plane again for quite awhile. But we must be ready if he does." Mayor Sullivan. councilmen Roepke and Evans Woollen Jr. also conferred with Bob that morning. He spent a long time with Joe McNamaa, leader of the south side, who | promised to set up a secret investi- | gation in his part of the city. (To Be Continued!

TARZAN THE APE MAN

Jean kept repeating ‘'Tarzan” into Chita, the monkey’s ear. The little creature seemed to understand something was wrong. Suddenly he leaped overboard and started swimming to the shore. She watched fearfully, as a crocodile’s jaws rose from the water behind Chita.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The monkey escaped the first crocodile, managed to avoid being eaten by another, and clambered, dripping, to the shore. There he raced along the bank, where, wildly chattering, he ran abreast the canoes, paddling toward "the steadily increasing loudness of the unseen drums.

Several times he swung to the trees, disappearing from Jean's view, only to appear and reappear on the shore opposite the canoes. He Jabbered and looked at the girl as if uncertain what to do. “Chita.” she called. “Go to Tarzan! Go to Tarzan!”

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The monkey paused and, seeming to understand, ran a few yards Into the Jungle. But he turned again and came to the river. “Go to Tarzan—Tarzan!” the girl kept calling. At last Chita sped away. She saw him no more that day, but her heart beat high with hope.
