NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VIL "All right, Mooney." Jimmy slapped the detective on the back. "We'll go down to Mr. Fogarty's hotel and let him try to explain this." "Not so fast, not so fast," shot back Mooney. For all of his surprise, he had been doing some rapid thinking. He turned to the ticket seller. "Have ' you got two seats right behind this one for next Monday night?" "See what 1 can do." The young man began to scan through a stack of tickets. "Here you are--seats 30 and 31 in Row I, Just what you want. By the way, has Big Tom Fogarty got into a jam?" "I'm not saying, brother." Mooney yeached for the tickets and tossed a Bill through the grating. The ticket seller flushed. "None of my business, of course, but if you can get anything on Fogarty you'll be the first one that's been able to do it." "Yeah? Well, they all make mis- takes sometimes." Mooney pocketed the tickets. He turned to Jimmy. "We're not shoving our hand to Fo- garty yet. We'll have a chunce to find out a few things about him, and Mon-' - day night we'll get a good look at him." They turned away from the window, Jeaving the clerk ablaze with curiosity. "Way wait?" Jimmy asked Mooney. "Fogarty's the man we're looking for. 'Why give him a chance to get away?" "He's not running away," declared Mooney. "I know the kind of gent we're dealing with, and I'm not talk- Ing to him until I have something more to go on." » . »- . "We want something more to go on," Mooney had said. Well, they had #t. What they learned about Fogarty was sufficient, in Jimmy's mind, to put him behind the bars for a lengthy stay. "Crooked as a snake" declared Mooney, after a talk of several Lours with a friend in the Buffalo detective bureau, "A ward heeling politician and the best little vote buyer that ever threw an election.

"Got plenty of money and plenty of influence. A professional bondsman, $00." They had gone later to the May- fair Hotel, where Mooney had learned the number of Fogarty's room and promptly had learned from a chamber- maid that Fogarty had not slept in his room the previous Tuesday night. "That was the night before your father's murder," said Mooney, "the might this H. A. Jones of New York wegistered at the Canfield Hotel. It might not mean a thing and then ~ Bgain it might.

We've got the stub of the the- 3 tre ticket he bought and he's got to clamp down on him with just the vekat to go on." The little deteciive smiled at his own cleverness. Jimmy couldn't help admiring him, Mooney, it scemed, had some other work on his | cae 13 Bate The There was an, au case whic the chief had told him to. look ih while he was there. "Killing two birds with one stone," smiled Mooney. "We've gone pretty near as far as we can now until we see Fi y. I'll be busy Sunday and part of Monday. Suppope we get to- gether Monday : ftermoon and plan our reception for Mr. Fogarty. That'll 5 | give you Monday morning to look around for that job you were talkin' about. That is," he added with a wink, "if you still think you'll be here long endugh to need one." "I'm beginning to think it might not | be necessary," Jimmy answered, "al- though this Fogarty thing looks al- most too good to be true." » * - » Sunday morning Jimmy sent a tele- gram to his mother and sister: "Feel- ing fine and making progress. Write to me." He sent along his address. The day passed swiftly. In the evening he hunted up a church. Slip- ping into an empty pew he sat listen- ing to the organ while the church gradually filled up. He reached for a hymn book and idly skimmed through it. Most of the hymns were familiar to him--Janet used to play them on Sunday evenings at home. He became graduclly aware of a girl sitting just across the aisle from him. He could see her profile. The thought occurred to him that he would like to be an artist long enough to paint it. Her nose, slightly tip-tilted, and her firm little chin seemed so clearly etched against the background of light. . . He cofild not see her eyes, and the small hat she wore hid most of her hair. What he could «ee of it was black and straight and bobbed. . . Her whole pose seemed to him to fit naturally into a chureh Lackground. They were praying. He found him- self on his knees, not listening to the rogular prayer, but praying of his own accord. When he looked up he glanced involuntarily across the aisle. The girl was looking at him. He half expected to see amusement in her eyes and flushed slightly. Instead, he could have sworn there was sympathy, and understanding. She turned her eyes away and Jimmy noticed that they were blue, with heavy black lashes. . . He had walked for perhaps half a block before he becams dimly conscious that she was walking ahead of him: He wondered, half guiltily, whether she might not suspect him of follow- ing her--there was no one else near. He was about to turn around when he saw an automobile pass him and then slow down when it reached her to accommodate itself to her gait. He could see two young men in the front Jat. One of them was speaking to er. She drew away to the inside of the sidewalk and quickened her pace. The automobile kept even with her. She stopped then and glanced around. She was plainly dittresseu. He hurried. One of the men was getting out of the car. Jimmy was beside her. "Sorry to keep you waiting," he said hurriedly, lifting his hat, "I wa8 delayed inside." He wondered whether he was "get- ting away" with his bluff. He wasn't looking for trouble. He suddenly thought of Janet. He saw that he wasn't fooling the man who was getting out of the car. He was handsome in a way, but a lcose-lipped mouth spoiled what other- wise would have been a downright good-looking face, "What a smooth worker you are," he sneered to Jimmy. "Come on, sis- ter, hop in." Jimmy edged over toward the curb. "Beat it," he said, quietly. "Let's take a crack at the wise " dooce = that, too.

Jimmy could smell liquor. He stiffened. Suddenly he lashed out with his fist and caught the nearest man flush on the chin.

Causes of cancer, formerly scarcely suspected, have been discov- ered, and conditions which govern the growth of tumors are being dfligent- ly worked out and methods of treat- ment of various kinds are being tried. "While it cannot be said," the report 'comments, "that the earipaign has as yet won a great victory, no reasonable doubt can exist that it has brought the day of victory nearer, perhaps much nearer." Referring to the use of rad- igm, the general conclusion seems to tained in any area of the body. growths are relatively sensitive to radium, but others are relatively re- sistant. The causes underlying this difference remain obscure and have not been elucidated. While many of the results obtained from radium are very disappointing, when judged by the standard of absolute cure, and surgical removal still offers the best hope in all but a few areas of the body, the grand council submit that there can be no doubt that the results of radium treatment are improving steadily and that it seems yeasonable to predict that in the near future, and as a consequence of further experience in radium, marked improvement will be obtained. The interesting state- ment is made that the chemical sub- stance known as 'mustard gas' pos sesses power of preventing the onset of cancer in areas of the skin to which cancer-producing tars have been ap- plied. It seems, therefore, to be the first true anti-cancinagenic agent ever discovered. These observations on "mustard gas" are based on research work at Leeds University, The grand council has decided to issue, early in| the autumn, a book with the title "The | Truth About Cancer." SH A Country Cosmetic You may not know it, but elder flow- ers make an excellent face cream. Our grandmothers would have been ap- palled at the price we pay for our lo- tions and massage creams. They were; however, jyst as anxious to ward off wrinkles and improve their complexions are we are, but they made their own cosmetics and therein they scored both in economy and quality. This is a recipe for elder cream which 1 found in great-grandmother's herb-book the other day. She must have been a vain old lady, for there were dozens of other recipes besides --all guaranteed to beautify. For her elder cream she took two pounds of good, fresh lard and melted it in a saucepan. Then she added as many handfuls of elder blossoms as the melted fat would cover. " This was simmered gently for three- quarters of an hour or so, and then strained through clean muslin into a lipped bowl réady for putting into the little jars in which great-grandmother stored it away in the stillroom. But before doing this she added %& few drops of oil of lavender, "just for sweetness' sake." The old lady made a great point in her directions of picking the blossoms with the greatest possible care, so that as little pollen as possible was shaken off. And to make the cream stronger she 'would add a fresh quantity of flowers to the fat when the first boil ing had been strained off.

SCIATICA? : are beaded which fulfill Here is a never-failing form of relief from sciatic pain: of fins and scales should be removed from all whole fish, and the tail trimmed and the inside carefully cleaned and wiped with a wet cloth. Exceptions to these rules are turbot, which keeps its fins an scales, and red mullet and smelts, which are usually left undrawn. To skin a flat fish begin at the tail with a thin sharp blade dipped in cold water--for round fish reverse the operation and begin at the head. To fillet or bone a fish use a sharp (if possible kept for the pur- pose), make an incision close up to the backbone, then carefully remove the flesh with long even strokes. Crimping or slashing the fish across at certain distances improves the flavour of the fish considerably. Never allow fish to stand in water fo any length of time, otherwise much of its flavor will be destroyed. Liniment on your shelf. unworn | A In' Readiness "Tommy," clothes are all wet! in the water."

England is a cheerfu plice just now. She has something for every- one. If the visitor wonld see England at her most typical, let him go to Lord's and the Test Match. Let him see this very English game played at the high pinnacle of artistry; let him watch the white figures moving on the green turf; let him observe the packed and palpitating crowd; let him catch the click of ball on bat, and glance | overhead at the white clouds lolling lazily across the blue--and it will he indeed surprising if he does not ob- tain rich insight into the English character and what has made it. Or let him go to Wimbledon and watch the world's greatest tennis "stars" play- ing in an incomparable setting. The big golf tournaments are just over, but Henley is coming on--another most English institution. We can of- fer the visitor almost everything. There are Horse Shows, Tattoos, Ex- hibitions, Regattas; there was a won- derful spectacle in the al' at Hendon. | "Ascot is over, but Cowes Week has yet to come; and in between these events succeed each other in gay proposition. These pleasurgs are not for the few alone; the English season grows in- creasingly democratic. Demos, too, has delights of its own and is happily winning new ones, Bathing in the Serpentine has added new color and gayety to the Park, and may be the precedent of fresh concessions. Even as it is, the parks of London and her environs. Kew Gardens--loveliest of spots, and far too little visited--and Ken Wood offer beavties of flower and foliage excelled by no city on the globe. London in the sunshine is a pageant of movement and color. But this is by no means 'he whole story. The eities have their pageants, but outside them and beyond is the most. spectacular pageant of all the pageant of the English countryside in an Eng- lish summer. "In a hundred small towns and villages, like lesser stars about a central sun, the people are holding local festivals up' and down the country. A thousand fields and lawns are splashed with the white of marquees, the strains of a band drift over the chestnuts and the elms, for flower show, or fete, or village cricket match. This is the real England, the England that! flas not "chrnged, but that mone except the Englishman knows--the England of hopes 'and dreams. Traditional modesty has too long tied our tongues on the glories of our land. Now there are signs of an awak- ening. More visitors are coming than heretofore, but many more should come, for we have the loveliest scen: gry in the world to show them. Not only so, but they can see it all in com- fort, for our motoring roads are the best in existence, and our railway ser: vices are excellent. Moreover, they will not be fleeced. What is there, then, to deter the traveller from com- ing to England in his millions? After so much eulogy, it is disappointing to have to end with criticism; but in the good of the English cause it must be done. First then England must do more to "tell the world." She must ad- vertise her beauties. Secondly, she must look at her hotels, which are of- ten far below a reasonable standard. And, thirdly, she must see to it that the spirit of restriction and spoil-sport, which since the war has been too manifest in her legislation, is nowhere allowed an nnnecessary interference ties. een A ase Your Holiday 'Shoes It you want to make the most of . | your holiday, see that your shoes are | really suitable.
