She could have kissed him. "Oh, Bates, I'm scared'. The Fly is aboard," she whispered, "as my guest, and I think hc’s prowling Around after the rubies. I just came out on deck and Iomeonc rm from near Mr. Jupiter's door. I told him Mr. Jupiter hud them."' "Stay here," Bates commanded. He unbuttoned his coat and loosened the nvolver from its holster under his arm. Staying in the shadow of the upper deck he moved quietly along the bulk-head. She "w him stop and test Mr. Jupiter's door, then disap- pear around the corner where the shadowy figure had run but two min- utes before. The seconds passed like hours as Mary leaned against the wall, strain- ing her ears to catch every sound. Then Bates reappeared so noiselessly that he startled her. "All serene," he reported. "The old man's door is locked and The Fly is back in his stateroom-tttree, isn't it?" Mary said "Yes." I lean] him moving around and there's a light an. der the door. You run along to bed now and old Henry Q. Bates will take care of things. I'll camp right up there on the upper deck in a chair where I on see your stateroom door and Mr. Jupiter's. Run along, and pleasant dreams." Mary wrung his hand. "Bates, :ou're t darling'." "Sure I am. But listen, what’s the program now? We didn't find a thing in De Luna's room. Not I thing. Had to tear up carpets and everything. That's what took me so long. You didn't worry, did you? Anyhow, your necklace is "fe-right here in old Bates' pocket." He reach- ed into a capocious inner pocket, and drew out the rolled up bundle of nap- kin-unfolded it bit by bit in his palm, saw that it was empty. A hor- rible, pop-eyed expression froze on his face. "It's gone!” he gasped. It was like the groan of a dying man. "Do you mean to say you didn't know that, until now?" Mary cried. "You picked up an empty napkin-- I've got the necklace. It's in Mr. Jupiter's sue." Devoutly, Bates ejaculnted "Oh, my God!” His arms fell limply " his "Well, how did you-what did you -did you have any trouble--he stut- tered, overcome with shame. sides. “Plenty! I got back with it, but my hair's snow white. Tell you all about it in the morning. Now don't you fret-it wasn't your fault!” It was her turn to pat his shoulder re. muringly. To help him out, she changed the subject. "Can we get under way at once? Did you see Bruce and the Countess unywhere?" "They're on the pier-the kid's cone back for them now. By the way, here's something your fat friend sent you. He was sitting on the dock waiting when I came up-he wouldn't give it to the sailor." A single sheet of note paper held phe words "Here's the dope. Keep these. I stole 'em out of the morgue, and I've got to return 'em. But I couldn't resist telling you the good news." V He handed Mary tt thick envelope. Curious, she took it to her room: -- There were clippings. yellowed, ringed about the word "De Lorna" with a blue pencil and stamped on each clipping was a date-the date of its appearance in a Miami paper. The clippings, read in chronological order, gave the imWspaper account of the doings of the celebrated French actress, Louise De Lorna, on board a Havana line steamship way back in the year 1924. The steamship line and all other parties concerned had evidently succeeded in hushing up the matter pretty thoroughly, but enough had leaked out through the excited tales of fellow-passengers to show up the lady as an adventuress of an old, familiar type. She was not deported, but evidently she had been only too happy to accept the hint of Miami police officials and return to Havana immediately. At any rate, she went-tht/ning that her husband would sue. There was no record in the clippings of any suit being brought. Mary put the clippings back in the envelope, and laid it under her pil- low. Good old George Bowen-to give her this to sleep ont. She went to the porthole and looked upward. There on the sun deck, as he had promised, she could see Bates' dark figure in its steamer chair, silhouet- ted against the lighter sky. She felt as though she had dropped a heavy burden from her shoulders. Dressed to "it-dress the ball" at Pinehurst, N.C., Miss Virginia de- long, favored the masculine mode when she made the rounds the pther day. She's trom Pasadena, California. The sun was shining in her state- room porthole she she awoke. Mary stretched, easing her cramped mus~ cles. She had been so exhausted that she had slept without moving. With the action, vitality rushed back into her refreshed young body, and she bounded out of bed, pushing her hair out of her eyes. She looked like a slim boy in her rumpled silk pajamas as she ran to the porthole and peered out. Bates had vanished from his post long since. Far off on the horizon line was something that might be either clouds or land, but in between was sea, a calm expanse with only here and there a whitecap to break the blue- gTeen, mirror-like surface. Anything was postsible--any nice. thing, that is-on a day like this. Even Dirk might have relented and forgiven her. She hummed "Happy Days" as she splashed in the shower, then gave herself a. drubbing with a towel, filled the air with an citrava- gent cloud of bath-powder, and set about dressing with a light heart. She donned a plain white linen frock, white shoes, I little blue coat with brass buttons and a blue beret. "And am I hungry!” she exclaim- ed, as she strapped on her wrist watch, noting with surprise that it was almost 11 o'clock. There was no one on deck, so she went below to the dining salon. Ap. patently she wus not the only late sleeper. Sea air had played its tricks on the rest, as well. She was badly prepared, though, for the scene that met her eyes. . De Lorna sat stiffly in his chair, It the foot of the table, stabbing at hits grapefruit with u vicious spoon.

Mary slipped into a seat at Mr. Jupiter's lefb--the remaining chair was Captain Hendricks', but the doughty enptain breakfasted at no such effete hour. De Lorna pushed back his chair with a loud scrape. "You will excuse me, please," he said. bowing sarcastically. "'r tshall take 1 walk around the deck." He Wu taking it fairly well, " that, Mary decided, nfter a. critical glance. She Was curious to know “but explanation had been given him for this sudden sea-trip; surely he must have been dumbfounded to awaken and find himself shanghaied in any such high-handed fashion. (To Be Continued) Curious History of Tristan da Cunha-A Blow to Ac- cepted Theories It is rare to read of civilized com- munities nowadays accepting priva- tion as part of the settled order of their existence. A striking example is, ho never, to be found in Tristan " Cunha, about which Mr. Douglas M. Gane has written a. most fascinating book, writes J. Menzies Campbell in John o' Lrndon's Weekly. _ Inhabitants Refuse To Leave Island Ever since this settlement was started by William Glass, in 1817, its history has been rich in shipwrecks and heroic rescues. Vessels belonging to various nationalities have founder- ed off the coast of Tristan da Cunha; in consequence many of the survivors have adopted this island as their home. Several attempts have been made to break up this community. For ex. ample. as a recompense for evacuation tl.ese islanders have been offered a free passage to South Africa, re-set- tlhttt on the Coast, each with two acres of land and financial aid-but they have remained adamant. The morality of the Tri.dans is high. The oldest inhabitant can recall only two cases of children born out of wedlock, in one of which the "r- ents .fterwards married. Such mor- ality, in a place where education is practically non-existent, must come as a rude awakening to those who still maintain that these two are closely interlocked. Thea; road-shouldered, lithesome, and sinewy people are contented. There are no indications of ihysical deterioration, despite continued inter- marrying. From the foundations of the settlement until 1868 there were only six deaths from natural causes, three of old men and three of chil- dren. The present population totals 163, and is the largest on record. WANTED-A PIED PIPER'. The medical offleera, attached to each succeeding visitirg ship, eonflrm- ed their predecessors' statements that a healthier place than Tristan da Cunha could not be found. The last Health Survey was carried out very thoroughly in January, 1932, by three naval surgeons and one dental sur- geon. They drew attention to the excellent physique and nourishment of the community. Further, there was no evidence whatsoever of rickets; and) such infectious diseases as scarlet' fever, diphtheria, mumps, measles, whooping cough, ete., were unknown. To many persons this immunity will appear surprising, especially when it is realized that the sanitation on this island is very crude and unsatisfae. tory, and the water supply most cer- tainly contaminated. Also, rats and fleas abound. In passing, it is inter- esting to record that a similar Mate of immunity prevailed amongst the in- habitants of St. Kilda, but was lost after their removal to the Scottish mainland. "After a little wearing, a lovely green Toile-ttn imported dreaa--lmst color so completely that it was not wear. able. A mend who had admired it asked me why I wasn't wearing it any more.

The dental inspection revealed 88.33 per cent. of the community with perfect mouths'; and out of 4,060 teeth exam- ined decay was present in only 1.84 per cent. Irregularities were negli- gible, and no evidence was found of acute or chronic abscesses. Perhaps of greatest interest is the fact that not one of the islanders has ever used a toothbrush. Besides, they regularly eat soft foods, which leave sticky sur- faces on the teeth. Their diet con- eists mainly of potatoes, tish, milk, and eggs. Cabbages and turnips are Owing to an ever-ineretusirtg number of rats, cereals cannot be grown; any deficiency in this respect is ade mate- ly remedied. In 1923 three and a half tons of flour and two tons of sugar were landed on Tristan " Cunha. Since 1925 the yearly visits of ships have on each ocasiou taken iltur and sugar " the chief articles in their consignment. This is oivided amongst the various families. Yet the teeth have not suffered in any way, al- though the younger members of this community have been born and-reared since these articles became more or less regular, thus suggesting that a small amount of sugar and flour is not harmful. Those whose faith is riveted to the toothbrush and hard foods to prevent dental disease will find considerable difficulty in reconcil- ing their beliefs with the conditions prevailing at Tristan da Cunha. THE FOUNDATION-STONE. Scientists nowadays declare that foods rich in vitamins, mineral salts, and roughage are necessary for at- taining and maintaining health-- which includes sound teeth. The diet of these islanders is replete in these essentials. It would appear that the expectant mother, by habitually eat- ing sufficient of those foods which act as barriers against disease, builds in her unborn child strong bones and teeth which, later, are able to with.. istand any possible ill-effects which might otherwise arise from eating sticky cereals and sugar. Further, the Tristan infants are weaned " twelve to fifteen months. In highly- civilized communities today infants are often not even breast-fed at all. In reviewing all the availuble data regarding the health conditions found at Tristan da Cunha, one inclines to place diet as the foremost responsible factor. Civilized mun seems ever euger to alter or produce substitutes for, the food provided by Ntrture. The Tris- tan Islanders do neither. It is interesting to refer to the visit, in 1930, of the Danish traveller, Knud Andersen. He brought back with him to the Cape two members of this com- munity-one an old man, and the other aged .twenty-one. Competent author. ities describe the latter as being a superman, six feet in height, And FOR ANY PAIN queym/owu!
