Incompsraw A Qgality m:ch U GREEN TEA "Fresfc from th» Gartic; «!n« Seeing New York Sy ED. B. WARLNG. I cannot leave Chinatown and the Bowery without telling of two exciting experiences I had while wandering around these places. Thinking some pictures would help me remember my sojourn in this interesting city I start- ed out onA day to take some snaps of Chinatown and the Bowery. How- ever my hopes of getting any pictures of these two places were short lived because the first tw'; attempts nearly cost me my camera and probably my well being. Arriving in Chinatown I picked out the hea<;quarters of one of the Tongs and was getting ready to talce a snap of it when out dashed a shabbily dress- ed Chinaman gesticulating wildly. Grabbing my camera, he asked mc "why you take?" and when I answer- ed meekly, "just for curiosity," he told me, none too politely, to "go way," and he emphasized his remarks with a push on the back. Nothing daunted I commenced along the Bowery look- ing for some other likely looking sub- ject and I didn't have to walk far be- fore I espied a typical Bowery saloon. Standing right on the corner, the saloon was equipped with swinging doors, brass rails to rest the weary feet on and all the other essentials which go to make up the real old- time saloon. However, it seemed as if this was my unlucky ^^y, and no s</oncr had I set myself to take this ' piece of artistic scenery when out dashed the barman. When 1 say bar- I gentlemen, who asked my views (as if the;' mattered) on diflrp''>nt sub- jects, but not caring to get in anoth^»r argument, 1 informed them I knaw nothing, which .was probably right. As far as I could see the repeal of prohibition will mean nothing to New York excepting that it will allow the beer saloons to place the "hard stuff" on the counter instead of under it. I was told when beer first became legal everybody was selling it, drug- stores, cigar stores, grocery stores and any other store with a roof over its head. The Federal Government .soon nipped this by putting on a $500 license fee, and so now it is mostly restaurants which have opened beer gardens in front of their establish- ments. However, the large fee didn't deter the burlesque shows, and one can enjoy a sandwich and glass of beer while watching the antics of the supposed actors. In concluding this series next week I will tell you of some experiences in Harlem and endeavor to describe the "Great White Way" for you. India„"^^ng Revived in B.C.

Children take time nut from study of the three R's to scour man I mean it. He was one of those | the forests for flowers and roots things you hear about but seldom see. He was small and portly and had a well seasoned handle-bar moustache which l(X)kfd as though it could stand i\ couple of swings, hi.« nose was of t- bright red and reminded one of a well seasoned tomato and with his checker vest and white apron he made a perfect picture for a beer advertise- ment. Grabbing my arm which held the Cw^mera, he asked, in words which couldn't be printed, why I was taking a picture, tind the ferocious look he gave me prompted me to reply, with an air of indifference, "oh, nothing." ."eemingly doubting my word, he gave me a push on the shoulder and warn- ed me to clear off before ho set some of hi.s boys on me. Being only a local boy in a big city, and far away from home, I took his advice and moved away without much coaxing Union Square, of .vhich you have ill probably heard '.bo' t, is located not far from the il^nvery and is to New York what Allan Gardens and Queen's P>.rk are to Toronto, and Hyde Park is to London. It is the n.eeting place for the soap-box ora- tors .and here one can get all kinds of advice, from the way to get rid of your mother-in-law to how to be- come a king or a president. The park in the centre of the square is usually packed with these orators and also is well filled vQth quack doctors and the like. The benches around the park are always taken up, particularly in the afternoon when the gentlemen of the Bowery partake of their after- noon nap. The orators, for the most part, are Communist.<--, and they at- tack everything and everybody, and always have a large audience. I stop- ped to listen to one of the.sc speakers who ".appened to be giving the Presi- dent and the N.R.A. a bit of abuse. After listening for some time I was just about to move on when a chap (Landing beside me asked my opinion on the N.R.A., and thio was where I made a mistake, because in answer- ing him I let myself become embroiled in a very heated argument, and be- fore I knew it a cn>wd, all seemingly 'o the same faith, had gathered, so believing in the old adage that a shut mouth is iK'tter than a broken nose, I decided to agree with tveiything they ••id, despite the fad T wafe iloing a |>it of "strange Interluding." I stop- bed at several other meetings and wil- MSAed a few more innocent bystand- ers like myself become 'he centre of heated argutnents. It seems as though tliere is a bunch of people who fre- quent thin park for no other rea.Mjn.-- Uian to incite argruments. After lis- lening to the different speakers and kgreeing with myself that tlicir views #ere all the same, I started to walk oljt of the park only to be accosted by â- evernl rather communistic looking ^WRINGER ROLLS Re-Rubberedâ€" Also New RolLs for any make of alectrle washer or hand wringer; hlghfiat quality. lo\v,»i prlecs.

He ctiught sight of Charles' treating figure. "Hie, you, stop! What are you doing here?" With a bound he sprang after Charles. Charles turned and tackled him adroitly. The next moment they were rolling over and over together l<>cke<l in a tight embrace. The tu.ssle was a short one. Charles' assailant was by far the heavier and stronger of the two. He rose to his feet, jerking his captive with him. "Switch on that light, Violet," he said, "let's have a look at this fellow." The girl, who had been standing terrified a few paces away came for- ward and switched on the light obe- diently. "It must be the man who is staying in the village," she said, "a journal- ist." "A journalist, eh?" exclaimed the other. "I don't like the breed. What are you doing, you skunk, nosing round private grounds at this time of night?" The torch wavered in Violet's hand. For the first time Charles was given a full view of his antagonist. For a few minutes he had entei^ined the wild idea that the vLsitor might have been the escaped convict. One look at the other dispelled any such fancy. This was a young man not more than twenty-four or tiwenty-five years of age, tall, good-looking and determin- ed, with none of the hunted criminal about him. "Now, then," he said sharply, •'what's your name?" "My name is Charles Enderby," said Charles. "You haven't told me yours," he continued. "Confound your cheek!" A sudden flash of inspiration came to Charles. An inspired gue.-is had saved him more than once. It was a long shot, but he believed he was right. "I think, however," he said quietly, "that I can guess it." "What?" The other was clearly taken aback. "I think," .said Charles, "that I have the pleasure of addressing Mr. Brian Pearson from Australia. Is that so?" There was a silence â€" rather a long silence. Charles had a feeling that the tables were turned. "How the devil you knew that 1 can't think," said the other at last, "but you're right. My name is Brian Pearson." "In that case," said Charles, "sup- jxising we g-o to the house and talk things over!" CHAPTER XXII. Major Burnaby wa.s doing his ac- counts or â€" -to use a more Dickenslike phrase, he was looking into his affairs. The Major was an extremely method- ical man. In a calf-bound book he kept a record of shares bought, shares sold and the accompanying loss or profit â€" usually a loss, for in common with most retired army men the major was attracted by a high rate of inter- est rather than a modest percentage coupled with safety. "These oil wells looked all right," he was muttering. "Seems as though there ought to have been a foilune in it. Almost as bad as that diamond mine! Canadian land, that ought to be .sound now." His cogitations were interrupted by Mr. Ronald Garfield. He found young men extremely trying, and practically everything the unfoiT,unate Ronnie said or did managred to rub the major the wrong way. Still, hospitality is hospitality. "Have a drink?" a&ked the major, kyal to that tradition. "No, thanks. As a mattor of fact I just dropiKjd into see if we couldn't get together. I wanted to go to Ex- hampton totlay and I hear Klmer is booketl to take you in." Burnaby nodded. "Got to go over Trevelyan's things," he explained. "The police have done with the place now." "Well, you see," said Ronnie rather awkwardly, "I particularly wanted to go into Exhampton today. I thought if we could get together and share and VIKING GOLD SYNDICATE ("ivs niTiK l.'Mju aorea one mile \vi N(il!.\NL>.\ VVrlta for Inforin. -I ot lion. 330 Bay St. Toronto share alike as ;i were. Eh? What! about it?" "Ctrt.°.inly," said the major. "I am: agresable. i)o you a lot more good to| v.alk," he added. "Exercise. None of! you young chaps nowadays take any! e.\ercise." "Oh, well," said Ronnie, "I don't t believe in being strenuou.s my.-^elf. El- mer paid j'ou were starting at eleven ..'clock. Is that right?" "That's it." "Gootl. I'll be there." Ronnie was not quite so good as his word; his idea of being on the spot was to be ten minutes late. He found Major Burnaby fuming and fretting but he pi-ocee<ied to enter into cheer- ful conversation. "Sittaford ha.s become a pretty gay spot â€" what? Mis,s Trcfusis and this chap Enderby and the lad from Aus- tralia â€" ^by the way, when did he blow in? There he was as large as life this morning and nobody knew where he had come from. It's been worry ing my aunt blue in the face." "He is staying with the Willetts," said Major Burnaby tartly. "Yes. But where did he blow in ftom? Even the WilletLs haven't got a private aerodrome. You know, I think there's something deuced mys- terious about this lad Pearson. He's got what I call a nasty gleam in his eye â€" a very nasty glint. It's my im- pression that he's the chap who did in poor old Trevelyan." The major made no reply. At Exhampton the car drew up outside the Three Crowns. Ronnie alighted and after arranging with the major that they would rendezvous there at half-past four for the return journey, he strode off in the direction of such .shops as Exhampton offered. The major went first to see Mr. Kirkwood. After a brief conversation with him, he took the keys and start- ed off for Hazelmoor. He had told Tlvans to meet him there at twelve o'clock and he found the faithful retainer waiting on the doorstep. With a rather grim face. Major Burnaby inserted the key into the front door and passed into the empty house, Evans at his heels. He h«d not been in it since the night of the tragedy, and in spite of his iron determination to show no weakness, ho gave a slight shiver as he passed the drawing-room. Evans was deft and efficient at his work. EverythLng was neatly sorted and arranged and classified in heaps. At one o'clock they repaired to the Three Crowns for a short mid-day meal. At half-past three their task was finished. The trunk of clothes and underclothes was allotted to Evans, and another was strapped up ready to be sent to the Seamen's Orphanage. Papers and bills were packed into an attache case and Evans was given in- structions to see a local firm of rc- inoVers about the storage of the var-i ious sporting trophies and heads, as; there was no room for them in Major Burnaby's cottage. Since Hazelmoor was only rented furnished no other questions arose. When all this was "settled Evans cleared his throat nervously once or twice and then said: "Beg pardon, sir, but â€" I'll be want- ing a job to look after a gentleman, same as I did to look after the Cap- ting." "Yes, yes, you can tell anyone to apply to me for a recommendation. That will be quite all right." "Begging your pardon, sir, that wasn't quite what I meant. Rebecca and me, sir, we've talked it over and we was wondering if, sirâ€" if maybe you would "give us a trial?" "Oh! butâ€" well â€" I look after my- self as you know. That old what's her name comes in and cleans for me once a day and cooks a few things. ITiat's â€" erâ€" about all I can afford." "It isn't the money that matters so much, sir," .said Evans quickly. "You see, sir, I was very fond of the Cap- ting and â€" well, if I could do for you, sir, the same as I did for him, well, it would be almost like the samel thing, if you know what I mean." | The Major cleared his throat and averted his eyes. "Very decent of you, pon my word. I'll â€" ^I'll think about it." And escap-; ing with alacrity he almost bolted! down the road. Evans .stood looking after him, an understanding smile upon his face. "Like as two peas, him and the Capting," he murmured. i And then a jiuzzled expression came [ over his face. "Where can they have got to?" he! inurmured. "It's a bit queer that. I| must ask Rebecca what she thinks." ' • ♦ 'I * "I am not entirely happy about .t, | sir'" said Inspector Narracott. j The Chief Constable looked at him inquiringly. "No," said Inspector Narracott. | "I'm not nearly as happy about it as| I waa." I "You don't think we've got the right man?" "I'm not satisfied. You see, to start \. ith, everything pointed the one way, but nowâ€" it's different." "The evidence against Pcrason le mains the same." â- 'Yes, )ut there's a good deal of f'.ther evidence come to light, sir. There's the other Pearson â€" Brian. Feeling that we had no further to look 1 accepted the statement that he was in Australia. Now, it turns out that he was in England all the time. It seems he arrived back in England two months ago â€" Travelled on the same boat as these "Willetts. On Thursday of last week he left the Ormsby Hotel in Rus.sell Square and drove to Pad- dington, from th.>re until Tuesday night, when Enderby ran across him. Hi.- refuses to account for his move- ments in any way." (To be continued.) London Register Offices Closed Henrietta Street and Princess Row, Scenes of Romantic Marriages Locked up Tight Two of London's famous register officesâ€" Henrietta Street and Princess Row â€" the scenes of some of the most romantic marriages In receni years, closed their doors a week' or so ago. Royalty, the cream of Society, American millionaires, and members of foreign nobility made a special point of going to one ot these register offices to be married. And, converse- ly, few Coven t Garden porters would be married elsewhere than at Henri- etta Street. Strange Ceremonies Probably the , last fashionable so- ciety wedding to take place there was the marriage la . month of Lord Claud Hamilton, Equerry to the King, to Mrs. Violet Newall. Now there is only one register of- fice for the Cit^ ot Westminster, and that will be at Caxton Kali. This is caused by provisions under the Local Government Act of 1929. Henrietta Street, just off the Strand, has probably seen more colorful and romantic weddings than any other re-' gister office in the world. Some of them and the strange inci- dents that accompanied many of them were recalled by one of the registrars. "I have married people in evening dress, in full military kit complete with medals and order, in ordinary working clothes, and in fancy dress," the Registrar said. IVIiilionalres' Thrill "I have married actors and actress- es still wearing their stage clothes and make-up, who have nipped out from the theatre between acts to be wedded. "The society marriages have been far too numerous to recall. Among the outstanding ones I remember the very popular wedding of Prince Henry of Pless, when throngs of people lined the streets outside and cheered him. "Amrican millvpnaires I have had in plenty. Many ot them write from their homes to ask if they can come over and be marrletl in Henrietta I Street. They come over and apparent- ly get a great thrill out of it. I "We also gat a considerable num- ber of people from the Continent, chiefly Fiance. Henrietta Street seems to be well known in that coun- try. "The curiou.s thing about French bridegrooms is that they insist on be- ing married lu evening dress, even if the ceremony takes place during the morning. "Then, of course , we have tli< Pearly Kings ot London who arrive here to be wedded to their 'Queens. All their relatives seem to come, too. complete with donkeys and carts Brides' Vain Wait "Again there are the fruit porters from Covent Garden nearby and w« even have people who 'reside' in Bruc€ House where one may live for a shill- ing a night. "There have been pathos and human drama as well as the 'high spjts' of romance. I have seen too many in- stances of the bride waiting patiently for the bridegroom who never turned up. "Now we are leaving Uie office whose walls have seen and heard sc much, tor a bigger building. But there can never be another 'Henrietta Street'." Princes row register office has beer noted chiefly for its fashionable wed dings. Last year Prince Lennart grandson of the King ot Sweden, was married there to Miss Karin Niss vandt, daughter ot a prominent Swed ish business man.
