"Not so queer when you realize how often they have clothing and jewelry and different things marked with their initials." Jimmy shoved his 'hands in hie pockets and strode over to the win- dow, to gaze thoughtfully at the street below. "I wonder if old Thaddeus Rand is still alive. Lord, Barry, this thing might be cleared up before we know it if we continue to make this progress. I tell you that fellow Mooney is a wonder. Imagine find- ing Marie Real, or rather Marie Rel- lane, as she's called row, so soon!" "All I hope is that we're not follow- ing a blind trail to be running down Marie Rellane and Thaddeus Rand." "Something tells me we're not, parry. Something tells me the trail is going to lead direct from Mexico City to Buffalo. When we find out what's happened in the years that Thaddeus Rand has been in Mexico, we're going to be at the root of all this mystery." * Ld - » "What gets me," Jimmy said later that day as they were eating lunch, "is why Marie Rellane should refuse to. tell Thaddeus Rand about my father." \ "lI think I can understand it," Barry said. "If she really loved Henry Rand as much as Mooney seems to think she did, she certainly wouldn't have much use for the man who broke up the affair--even if at the time jt was nothing but a school kid ro- mance." "But if she thought so much of my fsther, why shouldn't she think of his happiness? Wouldn't she realize that he would like to know where his own father was?" "Not necessarily. Like most of the other people in their little town, she probably figured that Thaddeus Rand had killed any affection Henry might have had for him. She's of the type nerself, you know, that harbers a grudge for a loag, long time. All she could see was old Thaddeus eating his heart out--if he could possibly relent that much--for his son. And why should she, with so much to hate him for, try to make him happy?" "Oh well, it takes all sorts to make a world, I suppose. But if she had only told my father, things might have turned out so differently. All this"-- w.th a vague wave Jf his hand-- "needn't have happened." He sighed. "If Thaddeus Rand-- my grandfather--is dead, he must have died very unhappy." Barry stood up and signalled for the waiter. "I've got another confab on this afternoon. About that dam- age suit. I suppose Ill have another interview with your friend, Sam Church." He grinned. "Shall I give him your regards?" "Yes," Jimmy said grimly. a piece of lead pipe." "By the way, Jim," and Barry tried to appear casual, "have you heard anything lately from Mary Lowell?" "Why no." Jimmy looked at him keenly. "What makes you ask?" "Oh, nothing in particular." Barry shifted the subject. "I wish you'd take me up on my proposition of stak- ing you to a little money until you get on your feet agnin." "Notking doing, Barry." "Well, let me be your financial manager, then." Jimmy laughed. "I'll agree to per- mit you to keep me from starving, "With S-------------------------- Every Lady -- Attention!

"Fine!" said O'Day. "He's a smart lad, that" Mooney. Tell him if he ever needs a job there's a place waiting for him in the detective bureau here," With Barry, O'Day agreed that it was not so strange--Marie Rellane's refusal to disclose to Thaddeus Rand the whereabouts of his son. "If you ask me, Rand, I think the old boy had it coming to him. Punish- ment, you know. n? I think we're coming along fine now. Something tells me we're going to get at the botttom of this before very long." ... ODay had no idea when he said it just how wonderful a prophet he was. * * * * i "I know I'm going to win my case, Jim," Barry said when, fresh from his conference, he met Jimmy Rand again. "I think they see I've got them licked. This fellow Church made me another proposition today and it was just twice as good as the first one he gave me" "You're getting pretty cocky, young man, aren't you? You know what they say about this man Church, He doesn't know when he's licked." "I'm not afraid of him. Matter of fact, he seemed to be a good deal wor- ried." "Did you see Mary Lowell, Barry?" Barry paused to light a cigaret. From behind his cupped hands he watched Jimmy narrowly as he spoke from lips that were clamped tight on the cigaret end. "Yes, I saw her. She asked about you." "Asked about me? No, Barry--oh, don't kid me about it." "I'm not kidding. I say she ask-d about you--and she seemed greatly in- terested, too--a good deal more than you deserve. You're just a stubborn blockhead." "Wait a minute." Jimmy grabbed the other's arm and stopped him short. "Stay right where you are. Now what the devil are you driving at?" "Oh, I'll put you out of your misery. She doesn't love Sam Church. No more than you do." "And yet," Jimmy said bitterly, "she's going to marry him." "Wrong again, youngster, She's not going to marry him. She broke off with him some time ago." "Barry, if you're lying I'll--" "Yes, I know you would, Cocky. But I'm not lying. I'll swear it on a stack of Bibles as hich as the Woolworth building. : "Listen." He laid a hand on Jim- my's shoulder. "Do you remember my saying to you some time ago to mark down the-date in your notebook? You remember? I told you some day yon'd appreciate me for the great benefac- tor to mankind that I was?" "Yes, I remember, What's it got to do with what you're telling me?" "Just this. I told Mary Lowell your story. I explained to her who Olga Maynard was. Now wait a min- ute; let me finish. I realized I was butting in and all that sort of thing, but you're such a darn fool, Jim." "And what did she say?' He wait- ed, breathless, for Barry's reply. "She was really glad to know it, no doubt about it. You know, she h~i the notion, Jim, that you were in love with Oiga Maynard." "But Church--you said--" "I just learned today that she had broken off with Church, and it was before I told her about you, too. Jim, she's crazy about you. But you're such a pig-headed fool. She wondered why she hadn't heard frora you." "Why she hasn't heard from me! and Church." "She said she wrote to you and you never answered." Barry seized Jimmy's sleeve, "Come on, let's move along. We'll get pinch- ed for blocking the sidewalk." Jimmy said: "She never wrote to me, Barry. I'll swear it. If I'd only known--" They walked along briskly, Days later, when Jimmy had time to reflect, he wondered that Mary Lowell should have appeared just as they were talk- ing about her. It was Barry who first attracted his attention to her. "Speaking of an- gels," he sighed, "here she is now." And then Jimmy saw her. The light of recognition was in her eyes. Words formed on her lips. And just as he was about to lift his hat and greet her he spied a familiar figure about to board a street car. He wheeled suddenly and ran like a mad man, leaving a surprise- stricken Mary Lowell and an equally flabbergasted Barry Colvin, , (To be continued.)

A freight train leaves supplies at a siding, and. they: are cautiously approaching, when interrupted. Quietly we approached the freight train. The food and gasoline which we needed so badly would soon be ours, Then, right out of the ground leaped a dark form, A heavy blow landed on my head, and I knew no more. Gradually I became conscious, Jolt -- jolt -- jolt! 1 tried to put my hands to my head but they were securely bound. Someone had tied me on the back of & burro, and just ahead the Colonel and Fu Hsu were securely bound on two more, Num- berless other donkeys loaded with bundles and boxes moved in single file along a narrow rocky path, and leading each, strode a wicked look- ing ruffian, armed to the teeth. Chinese bandits had captured us. Jolt--jolt--jolt! Through the hills we went, while a great blazing sun scorched us" with stifling heat, The bandits had plenty of water, but for us, never a drop. Between drinks they would grin at us, and pat their stomachs, seeming to enjoy our misery. Of Scottie I knew nothing, and became very aniious as to his fate. Everything must end sometime. Toward nightfall we came in sight of a rift in the mountains, where the sheer cliffs rose for hundreds of feet into the air. Here, indeed, was an ideal spot for a bandit camp. A few men could hold 'the defile against an army, Below stretched a beautiful valley, green and fresh as a moun- tain paradise. The burros, scenting the sweet grass, rushed down toward the bandit camp in a regular stampede. As we approached, a miserable looking mob of men, women and childrén, swarm- ed out of the tents. They were a hard-bitten crowd, every one of them. = They jeered at + ups. = ushand the children pelted us with soft mud. But flually my turn came. Suddenly I dug my toes into that burro and charged the mob. He *BpWled several over, and in a mom- ent the camp was in an uproar. One fat fellow stood in my way, but that donkey just butted him in the"belt, and he landed kerplunk on the side of a tent. After that we galloped off into the night before adyone could saddle a horse. Up the valley, I found a clift with sharp edged rocks. Working close to it, I began to rub the ropes which bound my: wrists, on the rough sur- face. Then lights began to twinkle heré and there in the valley, as the bandits set out to hunt for me with torches, Five minutes, ten, fifteen, I rubbed those tough ropes, while the lights came nearer, then, just as 1 had given up hope--they snapped and I was free! My arms were so numb that I was almost as helpless as a baby. Up and down the valley bobbed the torches--and each torch was carried by a man-hunter. I edged close into the cliff, while the feeling gradually came back into my hands. : Fortunately for me, no one came near my hiding place. Whenever a bandit's torch went out, he would make a dash for camp, so as not to be eft alone in the darkness. Prob- ably he was afraid of a dragon jump- ing on his back, and flying away with. him to its den. Anyhow, the torches went out one by one, and thé search ended for the time. Soon the camp quiet ed down. Sen- tries paced to and fro, but as the night wore on, even these huddled close to the dying' camp fires, and dozed in the fitful light. Just the ideal time for a rald! No one would ever expect a prisoner to suddenly attack a camp full of arm- ed men. Cautiously I set out to- ward the tents. (To be continued.)

"Several countries have regula- tions on this subject, some of which are rigorous," he continues. "The committee expressed the view that it would be well to present a typical set of regulations that might serve ag a model for all countries, in order that uniformity might characterize their administration, A subcom- mittee was appointed and authorized to appeal for aid to the Commission Internationale de la Navigation Aeris enne. The subcommittee concluded that, under present conditions, which are subject to change from day to day, it would be premature to try to- establish a set of regulations or even general principles, and that the re- gulations adopted, such as they are,. will necessarily, at the start, be sub- ject to more or less complete revi- sions. "The committe emphasized again the danger of patterning regulations of sanitary defense, as affecting aerial traffic, after the regulations governing maritime navigation, The point was stressed that the risk of dissemination of disease by airships: is relatively slight, by reason of the class of passengers and the conditions existing in the landing ports. "It decided, therefore, that the In- ternational Bureau of Public Hyglene, in advising the governments and the organizations interested of the con- clusions reached with refereace to the question of international sani tary regulation of aerial navigation, should call their attention to the principles adopted by the' committee at its session last May; that is to gay, (a) established landing fields; (b) medical examination on arrival; (c) sanitary 'surveillance' of persons. coming from infected regions; (d) jn special and exceptional cases ren- dering such measures necessary, strict isolation during the port calls. "To these it would be well to add two others: 1. The buildings, the occupants, and in general, the whole area of the airports, should be .nain- tained in an absolutely sanitary con- dition, and the precautions, in the yellow fever regions, should include mosquito proofing and measures for the destruction of mosquitos. 2. Wherever the need is felt, special arrangements should be made for the creation of a system of coms munication between the physicians of the airports located on the same route concerning infectious diseases. It should be emphasized that these recommendations do fot include the institution of a system of clearance papers such as is employed in mari- time navigation; nor do they pro-. vide for the 'observation' of pas- sengers, "In this connection, in recent re- search, Pettit, Stefanopoulo and Rou- baud showed that the Algerian mon- key is highly susceptible to yellow fever, They ascertained that the species of Stegomyla in regions ex- empt from yelloy fever are just as capable of transmitting the virus as are the species of Stegomyia found in endemic regions. Particularly, the species of Stegomyia found in Northern Africa is capable of being the vector of the virus. These facts are important for hygienists to know at this time, when airships may transport a-yellow fever patient who is still infectious to a country as yet exempt." ---- Paris Wears Gem Buttons As Distinctive Trimming Paris.--Buttons have become part of the fashion world in Paris--the buttons set with jewels are of real value, Jewel buttons form a large part of the decoration on dresses, ing designers of the French capital, in their advance collections of Spring clothes. More often than not, these new bangles serve as brooches rather than as the utilitarian Watton. Their button form makes them more sat= isfactory as well-designed decora- tions for the new dresses--once Sew- ed in place, they are always in cor- rect position, yet a few gestures will detach them from any frock. Jeweled buttons set with gem-cut stones (that is, those that glisten , with reflected light by means of sev- eral facets) are being used by many dress designers to replace the usual light spot of pique or linen near the neckline. One particularly ri- ginal costume is with five gemmed buttons across the front of a high, square neckline. ee meen Nature gives every man a chara cter, but he must supply the repu _|tion for himseM. . : ---- Expensive furs suchas beaver and seal can be imitated in ravbit-skin br iwareful breeding. in France suits and coats shown by dressmak- » »
