"Bet- tasement entran = trying to decide on some plan of action that would enable him to see inside the house without himself being diseovered. Fleeting memories came of boyhood nights before the fireside with thrill- ing detective fiction. Surely, he thought, none of it was more hair- raising or perilous than this--and this, strangely, was real life. It was impossible, and yet it was true. He knew, instinctively, that inside this hoise was the secret to those 'mysterious warnings ne had received; to Olga Maynard's fate; to Jensen's whereabouts; even to his father's murder. J "If only this place wasn't so far from nowhere," he complained. "Fool- ish to try anything alone. Even more foolish to take the time to get police out here. They might clear out." He thought of running to the near- est house and asking for help. But the nearest house was a good quar- ter of a mile away rnd, besides, how was he to know whether it would be friend or foe living there? He climbed the stairs again and found himself at the front basement window He peered at the darkners within, but saw nothing, and the sil- ence was oppressive and fearful. Slowly he made his 'way around to the side--the side whence he had seen the light shining down the road. The light was still there, casting a dull ! glow through a drawn shade. Jimmy bent down and looked. He thought: "If anyone comes be. tween" the light and the window, 1') ' cee his shadow." He could detect a low murmur of voices, but they seemed far away. And no one moved between the light and the window.

PETRIE, LIMITED ar SERVICED BY iia TORONTO had cried out for help. She needed him, As if in answer to his question, the cry came again. This time it was, not a scream, but a low moan. "God help us!" he cried. "I'm go- ing in," and he ran as swiftly as he could around to the front entrance. Before the door he paused. Should he try to rush boldly in--maybe by breaking a window--and trust to the value of a surprise attack? Or should he try by stealth? "Hurry, hurry. Do something." His voice was a desperate whisper.® He caitiously tried to knob of the door that had opened in answer to Divis' knock. He was somehow not surprised to find that it turned. Divis had not locked the door behind him. He stea'thily turnad the knob all the way, and then, with a silent prayer that the door swing open with- out a betraying squeak, he slowly pushed it open until there was enough space for him to push his body past. Carefully he closed it behind Lim, felt the latch click home with only a faint sound, and stood in semi- darknes in a hallway. To his left, the decor swung oper, was an unlighted room. Jimmy judg- «d that it might be . living room Jv, more probably, one of those old- fashioned basement "parlors." Just ahead of him, and to his right, | was a flight of stairs with thin car- pet nearly worn through. And a lit- tle farther down the hall, and to his left, a door stood ajar, letting a broad beam of light sift into the ~arkness, He judged it was the room through whose window he had"first seen the light and outside which he had just been listening. He heard voices--a man's heavy bass, another man's vpice, iigher pitched. He had heard that first one. It was Jensen. And he heard the labor- ed, catchy breathing of a woman 'ry- ing to suppress her soba: Then carefully, his hand support- ing him against the wall he tiptoed down the hall ard peered into the room, taking pains to keep ciear of the beam of light. There, sitting in a chair, his back to the door, was Kid Divis. He had taken off his coat, but his cap still perched on the back of his head. Di- rectly opposite Divis was Olga, like- wise sitting in a chair. Her head was down on her breast. Jimmy could not be sure, but he thought her posi- tion indicated she was held in the chair, possibly by a ope around her| arms. And Jensen was standing. He held in his hand a heavy glass tumbler, half filled with whisky, or what Jim- my took for whisky. He drained it and set it down. He turned to Olga, his face brutal with drunkenness. "Stop your snifflin'," he growled, He raised a heavy paw threateningly. Jimmy stiffened. If he should strike her he would cast everything to the winds and rush blindly in. It was more than he could bear. But Jensen changed his mind. His seemed so foolhardy, and yet--Olga® ed to gc up the stairs? Swing at his head with all his might and then leap madly in at Divis? He decided against it. There was that telephone call. He wanted to knew who was calling---whom Jensen had reicrred to when he spoke of the "big feller." He :wod where he was and let Jen- sen pass. He could have taken two short steps and reached out with his hand and touched him as he turned to mount the stairs, A sudden plan flashed through his mind as he saw Jensen's broad back moving upward. He waited until the nan had reach- "ed the floor above, heard him grunt "hello" into the phone, then, his mus- cles taut, his nerves tense, he softly tiptoed foward the lighted room. Divis was still seated in the chair with his back to the door, his fect comfortably propped on the bare table. He was sipping slowly from the heavy tumbler that Jensen had been using. t As silently as a cat Jimmy moved. He could still hear Jensen's voice, muffled by the distance, at the phone. And now he stood framed in the doorway. There was Olga, her head drooping wearily. She was tied in the chair, Jimmy saw. He took one cautious step toward Divis and saw Olga suddenly look up, saw the frozen horror en her face as she beheld him. And Divis--Divis saw it, too. He set the glass down on the table, slowly moved to turn his head. . . . Apd then Jimmy sprang forward, raising the hand that held the broken andiron. 7 % (To be continued.) ences sou What New York Is Wearing BY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON Illustrated Dressmaking Lessons Fur- nished With Every Pattern hand fell to his side and he shrugged, poured himself another drink. "Go easy, Ike," said Divis. "Ain't | ya had enough yet?" 1 "Aw shut up!" came from Jensen, ! thickly. "Y' make me sick." Jimmy retreated slowly along the wall. He found himself again before | the door that opened on the living room. His foot--luckily, it made no noise--came in contact with a hard object on the floor. He reached down for it, half groping, for he could not distinguish it in the darkness. He picked it up, and to his touch it felt like a heavy, round metal knob, with a crudely fashioned handle. Holding it up toward the light that sifted from the other room, he beheld what apparently was the broken-off end of a heavy brass and-iron, Then he carefully set it down again, and pulled off his overcoat and hat. Tnese he laid on the floor just inside the front room. He picked up the broken andiron again and held it firmly in his right hand. He stood there in the hall, wonder- ing what he should do--what he could do. He wished for Lieutenant O'Day's powerful presence, Strange thoughts flashed through his mind . . . the heroes of those boyhood detective thrillers . . . how feeble and incom- petent he looked beside them . .. he was scared--scared stiff--yet he knew that if Jensen laid his hands on Olza gain he would dash madly, blindly, into that réom and strike out with the crude weapon that he held in his hand. He grasped the broken andiron more firmly. From the room came Jensen's drink-thickened voice again, his words an indistinguishable blur as they floated through the hall. Then another sound--from up- stairs, He jumped nervously. Loud and clear it came to his ears, the ringing of a telephone bell. It sound- ed strangely foreign to this old house. It came again, an insistent, long ring. He heard a chair scrape in the room where he had seen Jensen and the others. Then Jensen's voice: "Damn telephone. Naw, sit still, Kid, Pll answer it. . . . Probably the big feller wantin' to talk to me. Damn nuisance, the phone's upstairs," Jimmy heard Jensen's heavy foot- falls, saw his shadow move out into the hali and lengthei fantastically on the carpet.

Yes, sir. Just as I crowded the old Chinese interpreter into the freight car to. hide . from those pursning bandits, a black object came hurtl- ing in and struck me square in the belt. "Scottie!"

The whistle fairly shrieked, It was a perfect bedlam let loose. Panic stricken, the bandits rush- ed to the doors to escape. Some jumped out, some were pushed out, others simply fell out. But in less time than it takes to tell it, there was not a bandit on board. Away we roared, gathering speed as we backed down the track for we dared not go forward in the face of the signals. The engine rocked and swayed, I took up the shovel to feed the boiler fire, when suddenly a heavy boot stuck out from under the coal and Someone hollered. What next. Even the coal was i the corner of the car were piled a number of tea chests. These I shoved out so the three of us could hide in behind. Over the top I spread some old straw matting. It only the train would move along before the bandits caught up, we would be all right, but it seemed to be waiting on the switch until a traln coming the other way had passed. Suddenly the sound of hoofs rang on the rocky railway siding, and a score of bandits began running up and down the train peeking into the cars, Things looked pretty serious, especially when a big Chinaman be- gan rummaging around among the tea chests. Luckily he did not no- tice our hiding place. Something had to be done quickly, however, or the outlaws would re- turn and find us. Quietly I signal led Fu Hsu and Scottie to follow me.

"Miss" Is Banned By Chinese Officials Peiping, China.--The foreign word "Miss" is officially banned from use on the campus of the Women's Col- lege of the National University in Pel- ping by order of Director Lin Fu. "Miss" sounds unpleasing to the ear, and is not really a polite form of salutation, declares Director Liu's formal order. Instead of "Miss" all young women students must hence- forth be addressed as "Ku Niang," he insists, for this Chinese word means "maid" and is therefore more respect: ful. Director Lieu has also ordered all the students in his institution to cease attending dances and cabarets. Those who disobey this injunction will in- stantly be expelled. Director Liu's announcements have come as a surprise. He is in his early thirties, and has been prominent as an "advanced modernist" for the last ten years. He was educated in Pei- pi ; and in Belgium. etiam Faults in the life breed errors in the brain, And these reciprocally these again: The mind and conduct mutually im- print And stamp their image in each other's mint.--Cowper, jar Exquisitely flavoured... lower in price TREAT the family to an appetizing salad made doubly tempting with Kraft Old Fashioned Boiled Salad Dressing.

Send for s Revealed By Spade New Bulking On Large Scale Going Ahead in Britain ow London--Rarely has the City of Lon- don known so much new building on a large scale as in the past year. The spade goes down for foundations from twelve to eighteen feet into what was Roman London. On occasion some fragment of the city built by our first conquerors is revealed, more often utensils and ornaments -which sérve to illestrate their life and cultu. e. All excavations are watched by rep- resentatives of the Guildhall Museum and the Society of Antiquaries work- ing together. Every relic found has value, for it is recognized that the strata which contain Roman London will soon have been fully explored and exhausted; nothing will be left to be turned up. The biggest material discovery of the year has been that upon the first Thames Embankment--for the Rom- ans had the idea of some eighteen centuries before it entered the mind of Bazalgette. London was a chief port of their great trade to and from the Continent. For accommodation of the ships which came up on the Thames tides wharves were a neces. sity, and a river wall. These the Romans made. Where on the water front the firm gravel bank ;merged into the alluvial mud, they laid down a vast framework of oaken beams. Poruions of this en- gineering work were discovered in 1920-21 between King William Street and Miles Lane, and five years later this wooden wharfage was further traced, extending up to Arthur Street --all 'west of London Bridge. The timbers used, which when found were blackened by age and Immersion in the wet soil, were great logs, roughly squared by the adze, sometimes over 2 ft. in square section, and seldom less than 18in. In the 1926 excavations the wall parallel to the river front in one place consisted of six such beams lying one on top of the other, giving a height of over 9 ft. Keyed to this wall were others at right angles, runeing back into the bank or communicating with a second, and, in places, even with a third wall, parallel with the front. The whole structure rested on river gravel. Thig year's researches have'revealed that the wall extended eastwards be- yond London Bridge to Fish Street Hill. A thick deposit of oyster shells used in filling in the timber construec- tion gave striking confirmation of the tradition that the Rbmans in Britain held our oysters in high estimation. In parts the oyster shell deposit was set deep. From fragments of pottery found, which can be dated, it would seem that the embankment had been raised in the days of the Emperor Vespasian--at say, about A.D. 75. How much of the river front was so embanked we do not know; probably shall never know. The length so far disclosed is about 150 yards--enough for a considerable carrying trade in the little craft of the day. It is likely that over the wooden structure build- ings of masonry were erected for stor age of goods, with pens for slaves awaiting exportation, but the stone will have served as a quarry for later builders seeking material, while the soil has kept intact the oaken logs. Boadicea, in A.D. 61, destroyed the Roman city as it was then standing. One resul. of the year's digging in the fruitful soil has been to show that this early city was of considerably larger extent than once had been im. agined; for it had been mapped as confined to the east side of the Wal- brook, with one outlying settlement west. Now on both sides of Cheap- side, at the corners of King Street and Queen Street, and again at Blossoms Inn-yard, on the west side of Lawrence Lane, have been found brokea crocks ery hearing the name-stamps of early form. All these must have been iying about as potsherds when the hordes of the Iceni queen swept through Lon. dinjum with sword and flame. Abr ere Old Men Equal Young In Test of Capacities Cleveland--Under a grant from the Carnegie Foundation, Leland Stanford J 'nior University set to work recently making a comparison between the working capacities of young and old persons. Keith Sward, Assistant Pro- fessor of Psychology at Western Re= serve University, participating in this research, made a comparison between professors at two of tke leading Pacific Coast colleges, using intelll- gence tests. The young and old scored in the tests just about equally, he said to- day. The young were a little more speedy, Age, however, did not impair quality and accuracy. Professor Sward examined two groups, forty-five men in each. In one group, ages ranged from 25 to 45 and in the other from 60 to 80. "The older men were slowed down," Professor Sward said, "but their age did not greatly impair the quality and t.:curacy of their work. We found greater difference between members of each group than between the two groups, 2 ee "Now that I am retired, I am builds ing buildings in the morning, run- ning banks in the afternoon a;d mak: ing speeches at night," --Aitred BH. ~ Smith, alle
