He becomes a master crook. To prey upon thieves; that shall be career,” he decides. “For if a thief 13 robbed, where may he look for re dress?" Ainsley visits the Jardin des Nymphes in Paris with two American - acquaintances. A tall, white-haired man ia pointed out to him as the White Eagle. The White Eagle, it appears, is a brilliant crook who never has fallen into the clutches of the law. The White Eagle is in the company of a gross, vulgar-seeming man and woman. Ainsley suspects that the White Eagle is manipulating a swindle. He finds out the names of the man and woman—then leaves his friends and returns to his apartment. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I admitted that it was. “But it’s not extremely large," I said. “It's as big as your eye" he de clared- “And it’s the most perfect pearl of its size in existence. I heard Maret jabbering about it. Some In-f dian princess went bust and sold it.” He whistled. “He’ll have to pay an other chunk of money tomorrow, at the Customs, when he shows them that bit of junk. That’ll break his heart; He sure hates to spend a nickel where it won’t show, the tight-wad.” I agreed with him, sighing as I so, thinking how well I could use money repi-esented by that pearl, deed, the thought was so agonizing that I left the lounge long before the concert was over,seeking solace in the smoke room. The room was deserted, save for the one-eyed man. Unwilling to arouse any latent suspicion in him, I had hitherto refrained from accosting him- But now I nodded pleasantly to him. It was my last chance to make his ac quaintance, and I had not yet given up the idea that here was opportunity. But when I followed my nod with an invitation to join me in a pint of champagne, he brusquely refused. His one good eye shot a suspicious glance at me. I noted that that eye was gray, and that his glass eye matched the other. Rebuffed, I made no further effort. I drank my wine, rose, took a turn around the deck, and went to my stateroom. I immediately undressed and went to bed, finally convinced that whatever the mystery of Higgins, the White Eagle and the one-eyed man, it was beyond my power to solve and profit by it.* * * * Som-ewhere along toward dawn, I was aroused by pounding at my door. I climbed from my bed, threw a dress inggown over my pajamas, and open- A ship’s officer stooded the door, there- ' v. “Sorry sir mind coming “What’s the on lire or som old did the In- “Ship Doesn't Know What a Headache Is Like - .Mrs. H. Snyder, Vibank, Sask,, writes:—"I was bothered with severe headaches for several years and tried many different remedies, but to no effect. "One day a friend told me about RURDOCK Bitters and after I had taken three bottles X .found it had done me a world of good, and now 1 don’t kno\v what a headache is like. I certainly have great faith in B.B.B." Put up only by The T, Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont ? issuTmTiJ—S He smiled deprecatingly. “Nothing like that, sir, but one of the passen gers has lost some jewelry. Rather a valuable trinket.” “Well, what’s that to do with-me?” I demanded. “Nothing, sir, I hope,” he replied. “But the gentleman insists that all persons who passed by the door of his cabin tonight. submit to a search. It’s Mr. Higgins; sir—his wife’s pearl; you and three other gentlemen have cabins in thia corridor. To reach your rooms you have to pass by the Higgins’ suite. The steward on watch swears that no other people have entered the corridor since Mr- and Mrs. Higgins retired.” “And because I happen to have a cabin in the same quarter of the ship with Higgins, I’m to be insulted by that swine, am I?” I cried. The officer became more apologetic. “Swine is right, sir, but I hope you’ll make it easy for us. Of course you have a right to refuse, but that will only cause trouble on the dock. The captain presents his compliments, sir, and hopes that you will waive your rights, and help him to avoid a scan dal for the ship’s sake.” “If you put it that way, to oblige the captain—certainly,” said I. I followed him down the corridor, across an open space and into the lounge. There were Mr. and Mrs- Higgins and their servants; also there ‘were two Englishmen, with whom I had struck up a casual ac quaintance, and to whom I nodded now. And then I saw the third. It wa3 the one-eyed man. We all submitted to a seai’ch. We handed over the keys of our baggage to an officer. Half an hour later he returned with the statement that he had searched all our effects and' found no trace of the missing pearl. Then one of the Englishment did what I had been wanting to do. Ho walked over to Higgins. “We’ve hearid your story,” he said- “You returned from the concert, you and your wife. She took off her jewels and laid them on a table in her cabin. She then went into your cabin, to talk to you. When she returned to j her own room, five minutes later, the Ranee’s Pearl was gone. Some one had opened the door and stolen it,” “And it must have been some one in one of the cabins on the corridor,” cried Higgins, “That’s what you say,” said the Englishman, “It doesn’t matter* to a you t hat you insult | your better^. Now, we’ve all been searched, and none of us has your filthy peart I merely want to tell you that I’m glad you lost it, and that I hope the loss teaches you and your wife the vulgarity of ostentation1 Good evening, sir.” . He turned on his heel, followed by his compatriot, and stalked, with what dignity a man in a bathrobe may achieve, from the lounge. The one-eyed man came close to Higgins and in rapid French assailed him. And then, suddenly, I under stood, Not Higgins’ manner told me; the plutocrat acted his part too well. But the light of one of the electric lamps flashed on the Frenchman’s face, and the mystery that had been puzzling me for a week was solved at last. I went back to bed, neither re proaching Higgins, nor paying any attention to his perfunctory apologies. I slept soundly, happily, as one should who knows that on the morrow he will acquire a fortune.^ With the other passengers I disem barked next day, I submitted to the usual examination of my baggage. I saw the reporters buzzing about the Higginses, and knew that the after noon headlines would be devoted to the loss of the precious Ranee’s Pearl- I chuckled as I thought of the story that could be written, but would not be printed in the newspapers, ‘ .-'You see, I had no doubt as to my success. I had pierced the disguise of Oppor tunity. Outside the Customs shed I follow ed the porter with my baggage to a taxi. I told the chauffeur to drive my things to the Hotel Regina, took his number to assure myself of his hon esty, and then waited. In a few min utes the one-eyed man arrived. His porter handed his bag3 to a taxi driver. The one-eyed man climbed into the cab. And 1 climbed in after him. He would have expostulated, save that I pressed something against his ribs, the something being the muzzle of an automatic pistol. The drivel' did not see this byplay, and when I told him that I would accompany his passen ger, made no objection- He closed the door upon us, climbed into his seat and started the cab. “What do you want?” demanded the one-eyed man. “I smiled cheerfully at him. “Your right eye,” I told him. I pressed the muzzle harder against his chest. “No use in crying out; it would be jail for you even if you live,” I warned him. There, in the centre of crowded West Street, he removed his glasseye and handed it to me. At the next corner I knocked on the window, and the chauffeur stopped. I alighted, waved an airy adieu to my one-eyed friend, and strolled blithely across town, a little later to pick up a taxi and drive to the Regina. Afraid of pursuit? Had I not al ready conquered the one-eyed man Afraid of the police"? Would Higgins, who had conspired at the simulation of a robbery, in order to avoid the payment of a tremendous duty, con fess his own attempt at crime? For the minute that I had discover ed the whereabouts of the Ranee’s Pearl, I understood why Higgins had discussed business with the White Eagle. The millionaire’s notorious par simony had caused him to invoke the supercrook’s aid at defrauding the Customs- That was the only possible explanation of all that had bewildered me. How had I discovered the where abouts of the pearl? Simply enough; the one-eyed man’s glass eye had been gray in the smoke-room; it was green when the electric light flashed upon it in the lounge. Instantly I understood why the White Eagle had printed his bizarre advertisement. Among the applicants for membership in his club he had found the criminal willing to aid him,, in his furtherance of the desire of Josiah Higgins to defraud his government. Would the one-eyed man have re turned the pearl to Higgins later oh, or would he have delivered it to the White Eagle? Would there have been honor among these thieves? Ask me some’easier question. Ask me, for instance, what I did when 1 arrived at my room in the Regina. I will tell you: I deftly took apart the two halves of the green glass eye which had been surrendered to me, and I kissed the Ranee’s Pearl I had been right in my theory. Where flies. Foolish questions sometimes pro voke foolish replies. One Sunday forenoon the primary teacher was not present at Sunday school. A substl- tue, not trained to primary methods, agreed reluctantly to teach the class. Many of his questions, of course, were too complex for his youthful audience. “What is life?” he asked the one In terested child in his class. “I don’t know what it is,” replied Bobby, “but when you haven't got no more of it you’re dead.” I iT I vulgar beast like COULD NOT SLEEP HEART and NERVES WERE SO BAD Mr. John B.
