CHAPTER GXI. "What i.<! it? What is it?" Mary whispered, trying vainly to tee into the street from the other side of the window. Her view was cut ofT by a cornice. Dirk was leaning far out to get a clear view of what happened. He waved one hand. as a signal to keep quiet. To the waiting jrirl the sus- pense was agonizing. Angry voices floated up and various bumps and thudf, as of a weary car settling to rest. He pulled his head in and .shut the window quietly before speaking. "Just that blamed idiot, Bowtn, and his rattletrap," he said disgustedly. "Somebody's smacked into him. Looks as if he'd tried to turn around, and they rammed into him amidship.s." He shook his head wonderingly. "Of all the prize boobs â€" ! Come on, let's go down and look at the wreckage." He looked about the room, tried the lock on the safe-door to make sure it was fastened, turned oflF the , light locked the door, and they trotted downstairs. Mary was worried. "Do you sup- pose he's hurt?" "Couldn't see," Dirk said. "Hope they didn't hurt our car. Gue.ss not. It's further up the street." As they came out into the .slrc't there was the sound of footsteps run- ning, drawn by the magnet of an ac- cident. A policeman was visible, pounding along at the lower end of the block, his night-stick slappinf; against his leg as he ran. Bowcn was no where to be seen, but the street was completely blocked at the upper end by his car. un-cnded and lying on its .side. Jammed into it on the other side, like a locomotive whose cow- catcher has scooped up a mass of de- bris, was a black limousine with platinum trimmings. As Mary and Dirk started forward, the limousine's engine roared in re- verse, freed itself from the quivering mess of metal which was Bowcn's machine, and shot backward out of Nassau street, stopiied, shot ahead toward Broadway and was gone. Not even the enraged policeman's com- mand to stop had any effect. He pull- ed his gun, but forebore shooting, ap- parently because of the people who came running from all directions. Mary stopped stock still under the shock of the realization that came to her. "Dirk! Dirk!" she screamed sud- denly. "That was the car that killeJ Eddie!" Dirk stopped running a second, long enough to stare al her dumbfounded, then raced on. A weaving, unsteady figure was crawling into view from under the tangle of leatherette and ! canvas that was the top of his car. He had just gained liis feet and was looking in the direction taken by the departed limousine when Dirk roach- I ed him. I Mary saw him wringing one hajul ' and cur.sing whole-heartedly. Be- I twccn curses he stuck the injured fin- i ger in his mouth and sucke<l it. Ap- I parently it was the only injury h'j had suffered. "What the â€" holy jumpingâ€"" He broke olT as he saw Mary's whitj anxious face at his elbow. "Hello, Kuyther. I'm all right. Let's get out of here â€" leave this wreck where it is. She'll never travel again." * * • But there v/ere explanations to b<! given the big, breathless policeman first. "What are you tryin' to do, turn around in the middle of the bloi-k?" he accused, after inspecting the position of the wrecked car. Bowen took his abuse without a word of self-defenc^*. Mary burned with indignation but Bowcn oirfy listened with what she could have sworn as a self-sati.sfied .smile on his face. ! "Yep, you're right, officer. All my fault," he kept repeating. I "Anybody see the number o' thai :car?" the policeman said loudly. The ' curious crowd began to babble all to- gether, but nobody could give a con- nected story. "It wa 3N and some- thingâ€"" "Naw, it was 3Y"â€" The policeman closed his book in disgust. "On yer way, all of ye!" He swung his stick menacingly. When tjiey had scattered, he cam?

I Uptown they sped for some time . without a word spoken. Dirk was first lo break the silence. "So you're the kind of a driver who turns around in the middle of the block, in a street that'., too narrow to] calm, turn around in," he said. Mary bit her lip, vexed that he could continue quarreling after what had happened. But Bowen laughed. "Yep, that's me," he said. "I owe you something for that," Dirk said. "What'U it be, a new car?" "Forget it," Bo\ en scoffed. He seemed vastly pleased with himself. "But you could have got yourself killed, you fool!" Dirk protested. "Yes, I lost a good fingernail saving your worthless hide," Bowen agreed amiably, squinting at the injured digit by the aid of a streetlight. Mary was almost bursting with be- wilderment, and growing more curi- 1 ous every minute. What is it all about?" she wailed. "You've shushed I me long enough. Tell me or I'll .scream!" "Y'ou're a bright girl, you ought toi know," Dirk said. "Bowen stopped ' thai other car from coming down} Nassa-u street, all right, didn't he? Do' you know any other way he could i have done it?

I might have given that cop a lip-off to keep an eye on the place, though. Wish I had." "Then it was Ihe Fly!" Mary cried. "The Fly? Dont be .Mliy." There was srmi'lhing about the pleasar.l voice in which Dirk spoke, whether he was saying .something agreeable or disagreeable, that was maddening. A trick learned in the courtroom, no doubt. Whatever it was, it made one want to strike him, dent that im- p'acable politeness somehow. Mary drew away and looked al him through narrowed eyes, feeling the rising of a temper she had never known she had. "Why not?" "Is he the only thug who knows a valuable necklace when he sees il? Any crook in Christendom would have taken out after anybody with no more sense than to display a thing like Ihal in a speakeasy ! Might have been that Lon Chaney waiter, for all we know." "But Dirk," Mary said, with omi- nous calm, "that car was the same "Perhaps not," Dirk replied after a moment's hesitation. He flushed brick-red as he tried lo meet her eyes. Unconsciously he had fallen into the habit of thinking of Eddie as a weak, tormented boy driven to steal- ing, and a murderer by accident. He accepted the murder as a fact, but saw extenuating circumstances. (To be continued.) New England Mother Since waste, to her, was most ab- horrent.

Near Umvunia we had an amusing encounter with a native. we wero camped under a large tree, and whilo Budge and I were busy erecting a tent and seeing to the car, Day was wrestling with a flre that firmly re- fused to burn. Down on her hands I and knees, she was vigorously blovv- l the embers, when suddenly out of I the darkness of the night stepped a I native, who, gently thrusting an as- tonished Guider on one side, pro- ceeded more in sorrow than '.n anger to demonstrate how a fire should be i lighted. Gathering a few specially selected twigs, he quickly had a blaze, and at last, satisfied that the fire was well and truly alight, he I flung his blanket about him, grinned broadly, and strolled off into the bush. Our arrival at Gwelo was chiefly remarkable for the fact that it took us four and a half hours to find the house of a well-known local resi- dent. In desperation we went to the police camp, and after poring over an enormous map, we thought that we had at last located the farm. Gaily we set out upon the Que Que road. But gradually doubt assailed us, and after seventeen miles we spied a house on the hillside and promptly mad© tor it, only to find that It belonged to a miner who was on the point of moving northwards. He, however, was able to direct us, anti we found that for the third time that afternoon we shoutd have to re- turn to Gwelo, and try the last re- maining road. In pitch darkness we made our way up to Norfolk Farm. The very warm welcome that we received from Miss Steedman, however, more than compensated for the trouble we had had in finding her. Her garden was a sheer delight, with long avenues of jacaranda trees and flaming poinsettia planted between; there were flowers of every description, gathered from all over the world. Day, the botanist, was in her element. Farming on an intensive system was also carried on. We were much intrigued to see how the monkey- nuts were formed from the fltwcr bending over and becoming embed- ded In the soil, which is banked up for the purpose. Oranges, lemons, apricots and plums were grown to perfection, besides a variety of Eng llsh vegetables crops was studied, and had proved most successful. The house, made entirely from material produced on the farm, was built on an outcrop of rock, and commanded a magnificent view over the surrounding country. Sitting on the step and looking out over this enormous expanse of bush-country, one could feel the fascination of Rhodesia and readily understand the reluctance of those who have once lived there to leave it. There is a sense of peace and of home-coming in Rhodesia, which is lacking in other parts.

I have al- ways used Diamond Dyes for dyeing dark colors and know they are the best dyes made. When I saw Dia- mond Tints I thought ot a 2 year-oli dress which I had to quit wearing be- cause it was faded. I got a package and gave my dress he simple- riiising called for. It came out the loveliest shade â€" a lustrous, shimmering yellow. I have laundered it several times but have never had to retint. It certainly holds the color.
