Juan de Escobar. When police got too close to his swindling activities there, he moved far away, to enter the business of smuggling aliens into the UT. S. A. This was more profitable, and was more of an offense to the American officials than to those of his own countrymen. His fellow Mexicans around Juarez and other towns in the states of Chihauhua and Sonora came to think of him as a fine fellow—an impression he carefully created by geniality, flattery, and sundry gifts. “Good morning, Don Luis,” the priest himself was wont to greet : : on ; . him on the streets of Juarez. “How | { 3 i 5 SETTER STOO LISTEN’ RT Nes He SF our > ALL TGETHER Boys?

THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson

T was the night when Barro was to have sent a dozen aliens across, to be picked up by cars at the upper end of San Felipe Canyon and hastened toward Amarillo, Texas, thence on to Oklahoma and probable safety. And Barro would have made the crossing but for one thing. A spy came to him at sundown that evening.

The cars will wait on the highway. And yet— Salazar knew this plan.
