disappointed. There was no wel-

sat down on a lawn chair with my

turning in the drive next door, In
the beam cast - by the headlights
I noticed a piece of -paper almost
at my feet, The words on it gave
me a chilly fedng, "Please do not

Here.l.was four hundred and eigh-
ty-seven miles from home with
barely .enough money for a return
trip. I was tired and hungry. I
.rust have dozed for -the next
things I remember was an electric
torch shining in my face, and a
gruff Irish voice saying, "Pray
tell me now who you are, and
what you be doing'here. Sure all
dacent folks should he in their
beds." My real adventures were
beginning.'
- It: was. the voice of an eighteen
-year old boy, Dave O'Hara, who
Was -to become my best friend. I
learned from him that my relatives
had disappeared -ftwe days before
my arrival. • •
' After talking with Dave, I look-
ed around the bungalow and found
an open -window and climbed in'.
There was some fobd in the cup-
board .and wood 'in • the woodbox.
After I ate .I wandered about the
house ,,•tCy see what I could find.
The-bedroom looked as if„..it had
been- hit by a cyclone! . The bed
was 'broken! Paper, blankets, and
the contents of the: dresser draw-
ers were strewn all over the floor.
"It looks to me like there's been a.
fight," said Dave grinning. After
calling the police I found out that
my uncle was very wealthy. Some
very expensive diamonds° had been
left to him in a will.
'Outide. the back door of . the
bungalow I found a handkerchief
with my uncle's initials On it. On.
a- bit farther there were tracks,
leading down to the wharf at the
river. There. I found my nncle's.
pin. 'As there was nothing else I
could do I went back home and
spent the night with Dave.
The next day an old man' came
to the police and told them he had
seen two strange, men going -into
the house the night my relatives
disappeared. '
The following morning Dave
and I got up early and went across
'the river. , •We found footprints
and • one was made by a woman's
shee.: After going for - the police
a search Was started for my rel-
atives. • •Following their trail was
easy. and 'after an hour Or so Of
walking we sighted a small cave
about 200 yards ahead, which
was guRroded by two men. We
waited while Dave went for more
help. • . .
• Then from the entrance of the
cave came 'Uncle Bob and Aunt
Ernestine. We could not hear
what was being said but the out-
laws, seemed very angry. Then
Dave came back with more men.
They waited until dark then dos-
ed Dave and I stayed back
and watched the excitement. One
of. the men went in and got Uncle
Bab and Aunt Ernestine free.
Then the' fireworks: started. The
crooks: seeing that they_were out-
numbered, soon gave up.
After we got home Uncle Bob
explained the reason -for their
capture, They had some very
valuable, diamonds in. the house.
The bandits had come two nights-
before my arrival and captured
my aunt and uncle. They spent
most of the night trying to find
;the diamonds. That .explained the
.untidy room. The quite ' left on
