You 'boys sit When this lad comes out I’ll him. For if what I think is he’ll be on the job shortly.” “Tell us, Rickerts!” It’s simple. Ray’s quite a ladies’ man. The telephone girl up at the El Dorardo thinks he’s wonderful.” “Well—” Dick was trying to con­ trol himself. “Ray left for 'Florida Monday.” Rickerts smiled. “He told this blonde babe that he was expecting to fall heir to some money and he’d send for her from Miami. She’s pretty thrilled. She talked. It was like tak­ ing candy from a baby,” “I’m going outside on the street, down to the corner. I’ll have a waiting. I may have trouble ing him.” Rickerts got up. “You pay bill. Wait until after he comes and then go home and wait until I call you." “I can’t do that.” Dick’s face was ashen. “Do as you’re told,” Rickerts’ voice was crisp. “You’ve being smart, Stoddard, but I know that racket. Let me handle it my way.” here, tail true cab tail- the out, sat The Chase Is On Inh half an hour more, the man u.ck nad seen mat morning came out Of the rooming house, glanced eacti way and walked toward Fifth Ave. He gut into a cab, and Dick at the door of the restaurant could see Ri­ ckerts move off slowly and casually follow him. “How can I stand this?” Ernest gut Dick home. They down and stared at each other. The next hour was the worst in Dick’s whole life. When Mallory telephoned. Dick could hardly talk to him. There was no call from Ri­ ckerts. But at 8 o’clock the door bell buzzed. Rickerts warned m smiling. “What time is the money to be delivered? Midnight? Good get your hats, We are going to my office.” Rickerts was suddenly like a hu­ man dynamo. In the cab he began to talk fast in a low voice. “There must not be any slip-up. This is dynamite, Stoddard.” “Do you know where she is?” ‘‘Of course! It was simple. I al­ most lost that mug once. He got out at Times Square and doubled back on the subway and then walked That was the tough, part, but I tailed him; These crooks think they’re smart!Lucky for us they do.” CHAPTER XXXVI so the been steadily for a long time. and Serge leaned against a night club. They’ed s Jay bar at drinking For Jay was determined not to lose Serge, to prove to Dick how wrong he was. “Come along to my apartment. I have filje French brandy there." With alacrity Jay went. He had been drinking more than he should, and he did not know that Serge was ducking drinks consistently with the collusion of the bartender. He’d been having ginger ale for hours. In the apartment Serge took off his dinner jacket and put cn a dress­ ing gown. It was midnight. Jay tried not to look at the clock. Then the telephone rang. Serge picked up the phone. “Yes, sweet! Of course. I’ll be waiting.” Then he put down the .phone. cHe turned to Jay with a shrug. “These women. I'm sorry. I’m hav­ ing company.” Then Serge not to ring his Jay made his He rushed straight home to tell his father. When he got home he stopped sud­ denly in the hall, A nurse sat in the library, very starched and stiff in hor white clothes. “What is it?” “Orders from Dick.” Mallory was obviously nervous. “You’re to go with me, Jay. Dick is busy.” “Of all the fool things!” Jay told his story. “The man’s chazy.” Jay would not have been so fortable if he had seen into street clothes, leave by the freight elevator. And in the meantime Rickerts were planning It was a waiting game, Dick were huddled together in an alley, back of an old carriage house. Before them an old mansion, now a rooming house, towered. “He's smart, This .Serge. if I am correct, he plays a lone hand as much as he can.

If only there vas some sign of life in that apart­ ment What happened in the next moment was so quiet and swift that now the zero hour pared for Rickerts Suddenly There was tinkle of smashing glass. The men had thrown gas bombs through each of the upper windows. Rickerts and Dick were returning new silently. They were at the doorway. Inside they could ihear a cursing and stumbling. Dick tried to wrench open the door, but Rickerts held him back. “Wait!” Suddenly the door opened and a man came stumbling out. Five men grabbed at him, but Dick did not wait. He was inside, up the narrow stairway. Karen Rescued Rickerts was after him, cursing softly. “If there’s another, he’ll get you ” Dick stormed 'into the small room. It was empty. Rickers’ flashlight flicked open door. Dick rushed There on the bed lay a quiet ! a girl with blonde hair, her eyes mouth bandaged. Rickerts and Dick worked at ropes which held her. Tears down their faces and they choked in the gas-filled air. “Quick Hurry Hurry ” Dick felt he was strangling. “She’s dead!” When the last rope was loose he picked her up and stag­ gered to the door. The room was full of men. They helped him out into the night air. In a moment they were in a detectives. street. As Dick Rickerts w’orked off the bandages on her mouth and about her eyes. She lay there inert and Dick had to search to feel the faint beating of her heart. The drive seemed end­ less. But when the car whisked in­ to the Mallory drive, ten minutes later, Lucy was at the door. Dick did not speak but ran with Karen in his arms into the house. “Up to her room.” It was the doc­ tor. All that had been Rickerts' idea. “They kept her doped, Doc.” Dick put Karen on her own and stepped back for the doctor the nurse. Mrs. Mallory was crying hysterically. “Now, now. She’s all right, her away ” the doctor said to and he led Mrs. Mallory out the sitting room. She clung to Dick, sob,bing so much that she could not speak. “She’s all right?” “I hope she is “But thought now. “He’s “But he and Jay went alone.’ “They just think they did ” Lucy was rushing in and out obey- the doctor’s orders. The activity in the sick-room terrified the young man and the woman waiting so help­ less to help in the crisis. It seemed hours before the doctor beckoned to Mrs. Mallory from the door. *" “My baby!” She fell on her knees beside the bed. Karen, her eyes red and smarting painfully, ,put out her hand to her mother. “I’m all right!” she said. “I feel awful funny.” She moved her hands vaguely, trying to remember. “You’re all right, Darling. You’re home with mother.” “I-Iave I been gone long?” “.Since Monday, dear,” “What day is it?” “Saturday now, Baby.” Then Mrs. Mallory knew what she must do. She went to the door and motioned for Dick. When Karen saw him standing in the doer, she held out her arms. He was beside her, crying openly, as he drew her to him, kissed her lips, her upper to an inside, figure, and the ran II Whiting Dick keen looking at the illumin- ■ ated dial of Ms watch.

Karen had to hear all that had happened, for she remembered lit­ tle of the intervening days. “I knew I was drugged, and where I was, but everything Why was I so foolish that car?” Dick bent over and muuth, held her hand tight, “No, they weren’t cruel to me, and I remember I did have milk to drink.' “I suppose Serge will go to prison?’ “•He certainly will!” Mallory’s voice broke in. “Why didn’t you tell me he was trying to blackmail you- If you hadn't told Dick, no one knows what would have happened!” . “I suppose the headlines are pretty awful?” “W® don’t care. You’re home. That is all that matters.” Her father’s eyes were moist. “Poor Dad! I'm going to be really reformed now.” He bent and kissed her. “Now I’ll leave you two alone.” And he went out and shut the door. Dick siting there, studied’ every line of the beloved face on the pillow. “To think I almost lost you!” He was beside her now, his lips on hers. “Pride's a terrible thing, Karen.” “Poor Marcia,” was Karen’s an­ swer. “When are we going to be married?” Dick put his hand under her chin. “Have you no shame?” “Not a bit!” Dick straightened up and took both her hands in his. “We’ll be married and run away on a honeymoon just as soon as you are all right.” “Tomorrow?” “Tomorrow.” Karen snuggled into his arms. , “We’ll never quarrel over the damned money again,” she declared. “We’ll give it all away—oh, for mil­ lions of things!” she said. “I’m perfectly happy to be just Karen Mallory’s husband the rest of my life.” Dick’s capitulation was complete. Then he added: “And when ~ we sail on the honeymoon we go on a one-class boat.” “A one-class boat for the rest of our lives!” Karen promised.

Then Kruschen transformed his days. Read his letter:— ■ “I used to wake up in the morn­ ing with a dull headache, A year ago, I started taking Kruschen Salts regularly. Today, I wake up fresih and lively and can do my day’s work without any exertion. I can recom­ mend Kruschen for anyone suffering from .headaches pud constipation, and for putting new life into you. .1 intend to continue with Kruschen for the rest of my life”.—<E. P.

Remove these poisons—prevent them from forming again — and you’ll never have to worry any more. And that is just 'how Kruschen Salts brings quick and lasting relief from headaches.

These conditions have arc used considerable interest in t'he climatic history of the prairies especially as regards the amount of rainfall received in different yeaTS. On tihe basis of rainfall variations in the past, it is possible to estimate th likelihood of good years, in the future, and of the recurrence of droughts. Records of rainfall in the present drought areas do not extend fur­ ther back than about 1885. For in­ formation on earlier rainfall condi­ tions reference must be made to ris- torical records, and to the evidence supplied by tree ring measurements and other similiar observations. From such limited evidence as in available it would seem that inter­ mittent periods of drought were ex­ perienced throughout tihe Great Plains regions of the United States and Canada from about 18,25 to 1865. It was during the latter part of this period that Captain Palliser made his explorations of the Cana­ dian prairies, which led him to des­ ignate the southern areas as semi- arid desert, a description undoubt­ edly influenced by the prevailing climatic conditions. From 1865 to about li885, rainfall conditions on the Great Plains seem to have been relatively good, favorable effect penetration of United States. Another period of dry years, of which evidence may be found . in early precipitation records, occurred throughout the Canadian prairies be­ tween 1885 and 18'94. ex- th e a fact which had a on tihe westward agriculture in the MRS. MARY HAWTHORNE DIES AT SEAFORTH HOME The funeral of Mrs. Mary Haw­ thorne, who' died at her home, North Main Street, Seaforth, .-from pneu­ monia, in her 82nd year, was held on Friday last to Maitlandbank cem­ etery. Mrs. Hawthorne was born in Glasgow, /Scotland, in 18-56, and spent the greater part of -her life in this district. She was married about 60 years ago to Robert Haw­ thorne, who died in tihe spring of 1919. She is survived by one son, How Canada got is name has a matter of controversy for a period of time, but the historians now . Walter Hawthorne, of Goderich, seem very generally agreed that the ’ Iroquois word “Kanata” is the real derivation. Kanata is still used in the Iroquois language to mean a collection cf dwellings or settle­ ments. Cartier, in onp of .'his vocabularies O'f the Iroquois speech, says -of it, “they call a town Canada.” Its evol­ ution into- tihe place-name Canada •can be fully followed in the narra­ tive of the explorer, where it ap­ pears first in his account of his second voyage in 153 5, The two Iro­ quois Indians whom he had seized at Gaspe and taken to France the pre­ ceding year informed 1 ing the Great River Lawrence) .that their ; Canada, which proved I alternative name for I Staddcona on the site c.f modern Quebec City. Cartier himself seems to have extended the word to the surrounding region as a convenient territorial name—much as the name of Quebec has been extended from the City to the Province. There have been other explana­ tions of the derivations of the name, such as “Seguada Canada” meaning in Indian ‘,‘men seeking land” but they appear to be just guesses based on -chance resemblance of words. Probably the view of the authorities is the Cbfreot one, that Cartier was the originator of the hame, and that he took it from the Iroquois tongue. him on enter- (now the home was later to be the village > c.f ■Saving Time Charles McIntyre, Publisher, says: in Printer radio broadcast read it at your ■St. a an of “Dear, I saw the sweetest-cleverest little hat downtown today.” “Put It on; lot’s see how you look You can’t put a in your pocket and leisure.
