CHAPTER VII A cathedral-like hush mantled the luxurious office on the seventeenth floor of a Manhattan skyscraper. There were deep carpets on the floor to absorb the footfalls of men and women as they obsequiously scurried to and fro to lay memorandums on the mahogany desk and to receive curt orders from the heavy man who sat at the desk. There were priceless tapestries on the walls, and the cumulative effect of silence and luxurious furnishing was to give the impression that here was a hallowed precinct. Cyrus Duane had spent a great deal of money to achieve exactly that effect. It pleased him to sit alone at his desk in this magnificence and know that men leaped to obey when he lifted a blunt finger and pressed one of the buttons on his desk. He was a man who gloried in the acquisition of power. Money meant little fo him, except as it provided _ control ______e than enough ^ he could never have too much powei His heavy shoulders were hunched forward, and elbows were planted solidly on the polished desk top as he studied a paper which had just been laid before him.

"I fee! rotten,"--tired out, no pep, hate to get up mornings, grouchy headachy, nervous, constipated. The reason is a sick liver. A healthy liver does four things. It supplies the body's natural laxative, puts proper nourishment in your blood, helps the kidneys, intestines and stomach, supplies the body with energy.

Tooker peered helplessly at the telegraph message he carried. "Yes, sir," he breathed respectfully. "I have--that is--an urgent message, Mr. Duane." He laid the telegram on the desk. "Wiil you never learn to attend to insignificant details yourself, Tooker? Time and again, I've told you not to interrupt me when I'm busy with my daily ship report." Duane pushed the telegram aside testily without looking at it. "I'm sorry," Tooker murmured. "This is hardly insignificant, Mr. Duane. Your--,daughter and the Fleetwing--they have disappeared." "My daughter and? What are you blathering about?" "The telegram, sir. It explains everything." Tooker pushed it in front of Duane again. Cyrus Duane frowned as he grabbed up the sheet of paper and com menced to read. His frown changed to a look of disbelief, uncertainty, dismayed incredulity. He finished the message, then started to read it again, aloud, pronouncing each word with a terrible emphasis:-- "Your yacht Fleetwing has disappeared from anchorage and your daughter Janet cannot be located stop Please wire this office immediately if you wish any steps taken." Chief of Police, "The Miam Florii the Fleetwing? And -- Duane's face went ashen. The yellow paper fluttered from his fingers and fell to^^^tttt&et. Then 'No, sir." Tooker spoke firmly-"I've had Miami on long distance. The message is official." "Wire Miami to get every available officer on the trail. The Coast Guard--boats--airplanes . . Not a Joke "Yes, sir. That's attended to, sir. There's another matter--" Tooker hesitated. "Confound you, man!" Duane roared. "Have you lost your tongue?" "Yes, sir. Ah, that is--no, sir," Tooker said firmly. "I've had two of Miss Janet's friends in Miami on the long-distance wire. A man has disappeared with her, sir. A Gregory Gason. They were together at a party on the yacht last night. Neither of them--ah--returned from the 1 "What?" Duane stared at Tooker blankly. "I don't undertsand." "Nor I, sir," Tooker told him promptly. "Perhaps it's a joke of Miss Janet's, sir." "A joke? You're an imbecile. Tooker! Yachts like the Fleetwing don't disappear at the wlave of a hand. She' has to have a crew. Engineers, navigators --" He made vague motions with his hands. "Quite so, sir." "Captain Coleman!" Duane suddenly exploded. "He's at the bottom of this. The scoundrel! The-- the kidnapper! Get Miami on the phone, Tooker! "Sorry, sir. I thought of Captain Coleman immediately. I have two wires clear to Miami, sir, but Captain Coleman has a perfect alibi for last night." "You've checked up--?"

"You've always complained if I came to yon with petty matters." Planes to the Search "Petty matters!" Duane choked. "Quite so, sir. It wasn't until I received a report on this Gregory Gason from a Miami detective-agency, that I felt it necessary to "Who is he? What is he?" Duane roared. "I have the complete report here,"-- Tooker took a folded paper from 'his pocket. "This came over the wire a few minutes ago. The man seems ta be a thorough knave, sir. Blackmail, stocks-promotion schemes, con-,' fidence game." He laid the paper before Duane. "And Janet's gone off with a scoundrel like that!" Duane rose and strode across the room. Then back. "Get me Andrew Gale on the 'phpiflte President of Mammoth Air Lines. Sfc owes me a favor. Get him on tlft 'phone!" » "Yes, sir." Tooker was unruffled. "We've been trying to get him. The t,irl hadn't got the connection through when I came in. There!" as a red light glowed on the huge desk. "I expect that's Mr. Gale, sir." Tooker tiptoed out as Cyrus' Duane bellowed into the telephone. The result of his conversation with Andrew Gale was an immediate order for every Mammoth plane in the region of Miami tp be thrown into the search for th3 Fleetwing. During the afternoon, Duane talked to several gentlemen in Washington, thundering forth demands.

Tasty Lunches At Home You are a fortunate mother if your children are able to come home for lunch every day. The noon rest makes a break in what seems to them a long school day and sends them back refreshed for the afternoon session. The outstanding advantage in having the children home for lunch is that you can give them a hot meal consisting of the foods they should have. Though hundreds of thousands of children take their lunches to school in the form of sandwiches, this is usually a necessity and certainly not a preference. What child wouldn't rather come home for lunch when mother puts a little extra time on meal planning and turns out delicious, hot dishes that satisfy and soothe? The following .lunch dishes will make a hit with both the youngsters and the adults. Casserole of Salmon, delicately flavored, pink and golden brown--hot biscuits, light as a puffball--a simple green salad, and fruit--served with the grace that costs only a little thought and care.

Move to Preserve Treasures of Art The National Gallery fronting on Trafalgar Square, London, England, is reputed to hold the second or third finest art collection in the world. And within a few moments' ride are the Tate Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. No one pretends to place a value on the paintings and sculpture which are housed in these galleries. They have been built up by purchase and- by donation and works of art, once acquired are never sold. Criticized In the past six months the directors of the galleries as well as the Government have been criticized severely for failure to preserve and maintain the art treasures in England. The Government has not challenged the critics and newspapers like the Times not only concede the truth of the charges but express the deepest concern for the future. In State qf Decay It seems that the Government, the directors of the galleries and private individuals have been so intent upon adding to the national collections of art that little thought has been given to preserving the paintings already possessed. Thus many of the world's masterpieces are in peril of being lost. In the Tate gallery, tor example, three Turner's valued at,$75 000 each, are in an advanced state of decay. These paintings are. "Port Ruysdael," "Pilate Washing His Hands," and "Bay of Baiae." Unless a way is found to restore these canvases they will soon be rubbish.

In the past, scores of "foreign-style" marriages occurred there daily, the dainty Oriental brides wearing smart, Western wedding dresses with long veils in preference to native costumes. Marriages on Increase Despite the carnage and chaos of war, marriages all over China are steadily increasing. Orthodox Chinese parents who have been holding out against their daughters marrying until the prospective son-in-law could at least afford to give his bride a dowry, are now glad to rush through the marriages. The heavy war casualties have greatly decreased the number of eligible youths.
