For lovers of green tea GREEN TEA XKK!C'lKKK*XKKf'XKK*yiKfl*yyi*l^^ EATHONTHE lAMOND CORTLAND FITZSIMMONS V Synopsis of Preceding Instalments When the United League season opens the gamblers are offering 200 to 1 that Pop Clark's New York Blue will not win the pennant. Terry Burke is the only sports writer to give them a chance. He bets $10 at Tony Murallo's retsaurant in the Broadway district- In the Blues' first game Whitper, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop, for whom Clark's pretty daughter Frances had shown her preference over Whitper, are suspected at first by Detective Kelly. It is Burke who discovers it was Sid Stream, notorious gunman, who wrecked a taxi with a bullet through a tire and injured four Bos- ton players as the Blues are to open a seres. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead on the diamond from poi- son on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro, Chi- cago's bat boy, disappears. Clark sends Doyle to Newark but he is soon sold to Boston. When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scotter, the Rubes' star pitcher, is found dead from a gas given off by a mysterious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle sent to him anonymously. Eacl time Burke has a beat on these sensa- t onal happenings and masked gun- men truss him up, question him and warn him he knows too much. Raw- lin:, the Chicago manager, ill when the Blue arrive for a series, is hang- ed in a hotel room adjoining his, afier a maid is gagged and bound, and her pass-key taken. Again there is no clve to the murderer. The Czar ran over the purpose of the meeting briefly and told Terry how he had happened to come into the discussion. "We feel," he ended, 'that you are more or less a key to Dur tliffic'ultics, but we wanted to be fair about it." "i see," Terry said after some de- liberate consideration. "You want me to be the goat." He eyed them keen- ly and there was an uncomfortable â-  ilence, which was broken by Kelly. "We'll protect you, Burke" "You mean you'll try.' Kelly sm led at that. "I'll have tvy men on you from now on, day and nisht, no matter v.nere you go. You'll be safe." "I'll tell you men something," Tony began. "I've no desire to quit this world. I like living, and for the past few weeks my life has been as close to hell as I ever care to get. I've been afraid to walk on the street. The stranger who jostles me in a crowd is an enemy- .\ swiftly stop- pe<l ta.xicab sends cold chills up and down my spine â€" and all this because I happened to be luc'icy enough to be in on the f ••'*â-  ^' < 'â-  iâ€" '^. I.ucky, he'l- â- â- â- "•. , Mr. i!ur:;o." J'l::!.'. t'.e C^.i- cE;.o owner, broke the silence that followed Terry's speech, "I think I know how you feel, but whether I do or not is beside the point. We need help and Mr. Kelly thinks you are the one person who can help us. Pop Clark must think so, too, or he would not have had you hero to-day waiting. We don't want you to lose your life nor do we want you to risk it unnecessarily. We want these murders stopped. Wo are desperate men Fortunes are at stake. The livel hood of thousanils of iieople de- pends upon our ability to go on play- ing ball; but there is something more important than money Involved in all this. Our reputation as sportsmen is at stake, our national game is be- ing dragged through the mire. You are a lover of the sport; if you were not, you wouldn't be a reporter. It is in your power to do more for base- ball in this country than has ever fallen to the lot of any one man. We want your help and we expect to re- imburse you for your trouble and the daii.cer you run. Kelly will do all he fan to protect you. We will all i>ro- tect you in every way possible. You do want this game ti gj oi, don't you?" 1,0 More Kij ..- "Suie, 1 do," Terry rilic.l. "Only don't try to kid mc into thinking I'm a hero, and I'll tell you right now I don't want to run any more risk than I have run already. I could use the Issue No. 34â€" '37 money â€" what young fellow couldn't who wants to get married in times like these â€" only I enjoy life as it is." "You're right, Burke, and I'm sor- ry I was the one to get you into this embarrassing situation. Somehow I didn't figure right, I guess. I mis- judged you. I though you were a real fan. I'm sorry, but it wasn't all my fault, you know. You've been the best friend I've had in the papers a)I this year. It was you who rooted for the Blue from the very start. You took up the cudgels in my be- half when I was beinft attacked some time ago. You have championed clean baseball and you are one of the best reporters covering the game. I want you to know I'm sorry for get- ting you into this. No hard feelings." Pop Clark pushed his gnarled old fist toward Terry. Terry hesitated for a moment be- fore taking the proffered hand. He looked Pop square in the eye and asked, "Did you mean all you said jui* then? Von didn't say it just to work me?" "I meant it, every word of it," Pop replied and there was not a llicker in his eyes as he gazed back Home Hints By LAURA KNIGHT Iced Coffee The secret of good Iced coffee lies in its freshness and proper strength, just as it does in the hot breakfast beverage, yet many housewives who make excellent coffee do not do so well with the iced variety. Some- times this is because they do not brew it fresh each time, but make it from what is left over from break- fast. Sometimes it is because the coffee 13 allowed to stand for a long at Terry â€" just a straight honest glance of the fine old eyes. Terry turned and faced the otheri;. 'Okay. I'll do it, but first there are a few things I want to know. One is the money. I want a contract drawn up and if anything happens to me I want the money paid to -Alice Andrews. Is that all right with you?" Bullal nodded- Terry turned to Kelly "Well. Bill, let me know the worst." Locating a Gang They wera hours forming their plans. Kelly had the District Attor- ney's assurance that anything he wanted to do would Le all ri,'ht. Their entire supposition was based on Ike promises that they hud t > lo- cate u gang and for ^ startins-point they decided to work c n iMarulIo and his outfit. The Czar was to give out notice that baseball would go on as usual. Terry's connection was to be kept secret- Terry was to write an article for his paper attacking the Czar and the owners. He was to boast that a good newspaper reporter could do more to unravel the crime than the police of seven of America's largest cities. He was to intimate that he believed he was the man to solve the crimes. (To be continued) time befoie it i^ served. ;-,y that it loses its flavor and aroma. And sometimes not enough allowance is made for dilution by ice, so that the coffee is weaker than it should be. When the coffee is to be poured hot over ice in glasses it should be brewed double strength, with two heaping tablespoons to each cup of water used. As soon as it is made it should be served or else placed in an air-fght container so that none of the flavor and bouquet will be lost. -Another excellent way to make iced coffee is to brew it slightly ov- er normal strength â€" two level table- spoons to each cup of water â€" and place it in an air-tight jar in the re- frigerator to chill. When ready to serve it may be poured into tall glasses each with one small piece of ice to keep it cold. -An unusual flavor may be impart- ed to iced coffee merely by mi.xing it thoroughly in a shaker with ice, pow- dered sugar and cream, instead of merely putting the different ingred- ients in the glasses and stirring them together. Just enough ice to chill the drink should be put in the shaker and it should be churned briskly so that it foams when poured out- Fruitades or punchas are popular these days â€" on the lawn, the porch, and even inside the home. Vary them and you will add to your rep- utation as a hostess. The sugar called for in drinks of this kind is a quick-energy food that will bolster up a laggng system quickly on a hot day. Try these recipes: Fruitade The list of fruit juices suitable for cool drinks ia almost endless, but or- ange and lemon are always favor- ites. To the following basic recipe may be added, in any preferred pro- portion, the sweetened juice of rasp- berries, pineapple, cherries or gripcis. Juice of 2 oranges Juice of 1 lemon 6 tablespoons sugar 3 cups water Add sugar to fruit juice and stir until dissolved. Add cold water and sen-e. Raspberry Punch 1 cup raspberries 1 cup currants 1 lemon 1 pint boiling water 1 cup sugar 1 cup tea Crush fruit and strain through a cloth. Without taking the pulp from the cloth, put it into another dish and pour the boiling water over it- Drain off, but do not .squeeze it or it will be muddy. -Add the sugar to the liquid, and stir until it is dissolved. Cool thoroughly before adding the fruit juice and tea.
