It's an exact replica of the one used by the army and our marines in fierce hond-to-hand combat, to wipe out machine- gun nests, demolish trenches, "get" concealed snipers, defend against massed attack. Just cock the firing mechanism, load the cap and you're ready! Imagine — you're a marine creeping up on that machine-gun nest, your grenade is in your hand. You creep close, low. Now you're in range, you pull the safety pin with your teeth and throw! Bull's eye, right into the nest. Blast! The machine gun flies out broken. Now silence. Your bud- dies cheer — the advance starts up again! This grenade explodes 4 seconds after pull- ing pin as it strikes ground. Can't break. Heavy gauge steel firing mechanism. Uses standard caps. Can be exploded over and over.

Thirty years of wearing the star on his vest had taught him a lot about self control. But the situation he faced was some- thing different. He turned to the young man in his office. "If you have been sent to take over my duties, then tell me so. Or you show me where in any- way I have been negligent. I still maintain that Chief Geronimo and his braves have been raiding the silver wagons. The fact that we haven’t been able to catch him surely isn’t my fault. Especially when you have more than five thousand troops ih the field looking for him and they can’t locate him.” In spite of his youthful appearance, Dan Cranmer had a very capable head on his shoulders. For that reason he has been sent to Silver City to check on the raids that were tak- ing place on the silver wagon. "You go right ahead and do whatever you have been doing,” he smiled. "There is no con- flict of authority. We both want to stop those raids, and we are going' to succeed. However, since the silver was purchased for the United States Government and headed towards the mint in California, you can see why they sent me.” "Well, well,” interrupted a charming femi- nine voice, "you must be the United States Secret Service operator that has been sent to our town. As a woman I surely am curious to meet him in person. Also to ask him some questions.” "My daughter, Amelia,” introduced the sheriff. "And the gentleman with her is Howard Menge, owner of the Menge Silver Mine which sells to the United States Government. Dan Cranmer of the United States Secret Service.” "Well, it can’t be very secret if everybody in town already knows you are here,” teased the charming Amelia as she tossed her blond hair over her left shoulder. "They say a woman can’t keep a secret. But why wasn’t your identity kept a secret?” "Because it wasn’t felt necessary,” was the unexpected answer. "When conditions . arise where secrecy is important then the identity of our operator is unknown.” "I hope you get those raiders,” added How- ard Menge. "They are getting bolder and bolder. Next Monday we send out three wagons full of silver and an escort of thirty armed men. Sheriff Ellard will be with us. Are you also coming?” "Try to keep me away,” challenged the young government operator. "I will be there when you leave. Meanwhile I have some matters which need my personal attention. Should anybody be looking for me, I have a room at the Silver City Hotel.” Saying that, the young man left and Amelia gave him a parting glance. Then she turned to her companion. "He seems so certain of himself that he is a bit annoying,” she commenced. "When you are young, I guess you are that way,” was the reply of Howard Menge. "Per- haps some things only come with experience.” For the next four days, Dan Cranmer was absent from Silver City. He rode to Fort Sill where he attended an important conference of government and army officials. "If Chief Geronimo is making those raids,” ' he said to the men present, "we have rfiysteries to clear up. Why does he raid only some of the time instead of always? What is he doing with the silver? Why are these raids so planned that we haven’t been able to shoot a single raider? Or even capture one? Why are they so desir- ous of keeping up an apparent record of not killing a single person? Or of being killed? "I think these are all related. If we can get an answer any place, we will have a clue. We will put into effect the plan we discussed.” "If it works,” said Colonel .Manning, "we will have a new kind of weapon to use in desert warfare. My men will follow your instructions.” Dan Cranmer returned to Silver City. He was present when they assembled the armed escort for the silver wagons. To his surprise, Amelia was with her father. "Just a woman’s intuition,” was her explana- tion. "I just feel that something different is going to happen and I want to be present.” They all rode slowly to the West and by nightfall were on the edge of the great American Desert. Armed guards did sentry duty during the night. In the morning, Dan Cranmer set up a mirror on a tripod. He had a bowl of water, some soap and a straight edge razor. It took him about five minutes to get the mirror set so he could shave. Some of the guards couldn’t help laughing. "Wonder why he wants to be so clean shaven?” remarked Joe Hooper. "Think it is because we have the daughter of the Sheriff with us?” "You ask a question and then you answer it,” remarked Hal Winters dryly. Saves a lot of energy when you are tired.” Apparently Dan Cranmer had brought a lot of extra clothing with him. Each day he shaved and was dressed as though he was doing his best to make an impression upon a certain young lady. "I’m waiting for an invitation to dine out,” Amelia teased him when they had been out on the desert for six days. "We could set up a table. But alas I forgot to bring an evening gown with me.” Dan Cranmer laughed. He was conscious of the fact that by this time the men accepted his shaving and daily change of clothing as nothing important. They had more important things on their minds. "When we get across the desert and reach Dulmon’s Crossing,” he told Amelia, "it will be a pleasure to invite you out to eat.” Each evening the wagons were formed into a sort of protective fort. The tongue of one wagon was tied to the back of another. For in addition to the three wagons of silver there were eight wagons full of supplies for the men. It was impossible to keep all the horses inside the corral thus formed. So most of the horses had to be kept outside and they were hobbled. Then on the tenth night the mysterious raiders struck. Fire arrows hit the wagons and the horses ran away. There were shots in the air. Some remained to fight the fire. Others tried to recapture the horses. Sheriff Max Ellard, the mine owner, Dan Cran- mer, and five others had their horses and tried to go after the raiders, but to no avail. The night was dark. When they returned they heard the sad news. "Some of those Injuns doubled back,” lam- ented Hal Winters. "They took most of the silver from the wagons. Tied us up. Took me half an hour to get opt of my bonds.” In the morning most of the missing horses were found and brought back. Sadly the group continued their journey across the aesert. Little things annoyed the men. Dan Cranmer still in- sisted on taking his morning shave. "By this time you ought to be able to set up the mirror in a minutfc,” commented the Sheriff. ' "You always take so long.” "Go and grow a beard,” suggested Howard Menge. "You failed to protect the silver.” "I’m not so sure I failed,’* was the unexpected reply. "Take a look at the dust. We will have visitors soon.” In twenty minutes » a .group of mounted sol- diers, some Indians, and fifteen white men whose hands were bound, all rode into camp. Colonel Manning walked right up to Howard Menge. At a signal, his soldiers leveled their rifles at all present. "It looked like a fool proof idea, didn’t it, Mr. Menge,” began the army officer. "Your mine was running out of silver. You stole your own shipments and collected from the United States Government. Then resold the stolen silver.- You supplied , the armed guards who were in on the deal apd planned it so nobody could be caught or hurt. You didn’t dare take a chance. t "We had Chief . Geronimo helping us. He offered to surrender 'last month. So as a test of good faith we told*him to help us. He ringed the desert edge with his braves. We knew every move you made.” Later when they reached Dulmon’s Crossing, Dan Cranmer took Amelia out to dine. But she was puzzled. "You didn’t shave? Why not?” "No need to,” he explained. "I really didn’t want to shave. What you saw me doing wasn’t just shaving. I was signaling with the mirror. An idea that, came from India. It is called a Heliograph. The flashes were the dots and dashes from the Morse Code. And the answers were brief so they could hardly be noticed. That’s how I kept the Colonel informed and he let me know what was taking place.” "Go take a shave or I don’t dine out,” she challenged. "For my future wife, I shave,” he replied. Which he did.
