T he savage Automatic Pistol creates evidence — it 
protects the law-abiding user. But it betrays the criminal. 
Its sharp reports attract attention — invite investigation — call 
help! And its reports cannot be silenced. 
After each shot it throws out a distinctively marked shell 
and leaves it there. Evidence. It brands each bullet with its 
distinctive rifling. Evidence. 
And the pistol itself is evidence. It tells its own story 
to the expert who examines it — where it came from — 
what it has done. 
For the law-abiding, the SAVAGE is safety insur- 
ance — but for the criminal, speedy detection and 
certain punishment.

“It beats me how they can get things 
to grow out of this shell!” John ex- 
claimed, “but yonder is a garden — actu- 
ally. And it looks in bully shape. I 
can see radishes, beans, green stuffs and 
— and there is an orange grove!” 
“Its the same old story of Florida 
rumor,” explained his father, “the Semi- 
noles must have been looking for pearls. 
This would account for the innumerable 
shell mounds. Yet this one, at least 
six hundred years old, has not lost its 
original identity. You have just located 
an almost perfect conk.” 
T here were two stores on the 
island, with Smallwood’s neat con- 
crete house the most assuming. Its 
shelves were laden with curious stock 
. . . grains in bags, hides, coffee, 
fire-arms and what-not. One marvelled 
that such stuff could ever find its way 
up to far Chokoloskee. Smallwood him- 
self greeted them. He was alone at the 
time. Much to Mr. King’s amazement 
he came slowly forward stretching out 
a big, hard-gripping hand. 
“Howdy,” he said, “Mister King’s 
party, aint it?” 
It was on the tip of the other’s 
tongue to ask how Smallwood knew. As 
quickly he checked the impulse. “Ask 
No Question,” was what he had been 
told on entering Chokoloskee. 
“Right,” he retorted. 
“Coin’ to survey a little up Turners?” 
“That’s what brings us here. Yes Sir. 
We’ll need some supplies in the morn- 
ing and some advice about game and 
fishing. We’d like to try a little of 
both before we go back.” 
“Plenty of it,” Smallwood answered. 
He was an impressive man, standing 
six feet tall, and possessing a certain 
odd dignity of poise and manner. For 
Smtllwood was a pioneer .... a 
quiet, good-natured tradesman, who was 
known as a sure marksman and — quick 
on the trigger in a rumpus. 
Mr. King bought some coffee and 
grits and a can of kerosene. He took 
a check book from his pocket and paid 
the small amount in this way. Here 
is another rule of the Chok’ district. 
Never, NEVER flash real money. Nor 
did Smallwood hesitate a moment in 
accepting this check. He gave it a 
swift glance and, folding it, placed it 
ceremoniously in his ledger. 
“Coin’ to stay ashore to-night?” he 
inquired, “I can put ye up.” 
“No, we’ll sleep in our boat,” Mr. 
King responded, “thanks just the same.” 
Smallwood began to grin. 
“It’ll be a wonder if ye sleep,” said 
he. 
“Why?” 
“Special church night,” was the an- 
swer, “wait ontil midnight and open 
yer ears.” 
This came as a true prediction. 
Shortly before twelve, long after the 
weary party had rolled up in their cov- 
ers, there issued from the little gray 
church such a series of howls and
