' A - r ' ' 1 , i| K . c ! u J Li The swamps of Chile --the deadly, horrible, dank, but fantastically romantic lowlands of lower Chile J This unchar tered land v;as solely owned by Herman Hammerstien, a notorious German-American gambler who had retired from his business of fleecing his friends.’ The hoise, a large and modern one, sat on a knoll, the front overlooking the contrasting, horrible pres- ence of the swamps. The house was peppered with secret vaults and wall safes containing the huge sums of money Hammerstien earned or rather won from the roulette wheel known as the loaded dice wheel. Owing to his astound- ing success, he had made several jealous enemies, one of whom was a genius at his profession of inventing poisoned gasses. WOR The estate was reached by a long driveway bordered on each side by palm trees of many species. Hammerstien took great pride in his residence, although practically nobody viewed it excepting the grocery boy, the electrician, or somebody who would have business with the owner. The avenue v as guarded from undesirable strangers by two strong, muscular natives. A large car came speeding through the gate with the two bewildered natives chasing after it blubbering inarticulate cries which no doubt meant something in their native tongue. The car came to stop in front of the beautiful walk. A short, v;iry, white haired gentleman stepped out and made his v ay to the door. He was admitted by the butler and was ushered into the study. Hammerstien was sitting at his beauti.ful news from the stock market in New York. At the announcement of his guest, he dropped his paper and fixed his eyes on what used to be a familiar face. The servant was dis- missed. The man who had been welcomed to Hammerstien ' s house was the most dreaded of all his enemies, the crazed inventor of gas- es. For a moment neither spoke, then, to break the stillness, Herman what can I do for you? maple desk reading the laid, Well, The inventor stared at erman ipon whose brov were beads of perspiration, and said, I’ve come to settle that account of $150,000 which you h ave ov ed me since the days at Monte Carlo. I need the money and you will bo wise if you come across with it.
