STORY OF A MISSING- ACTRESS AND THE TAX ING OF
WITS TO EXPLAIN HER FATE.
BY NANCY BARR MAVITY.
SYNOPSIS
Sheila O'Shay,. formerly -a popular
actress, and. now the wife of he young
millionaire .Don Ellsworth, disappears,
leaving no trace behind her. Don visite
Dr: Cavanaugh, the famous ariminologist
and. confesses that his married life has
been very unhappy. Dr. Cavanaugh
agrees 'to investigate the case. Peter
Piper, .enthusiastic young reporter of
The Reraid Is ordered to cover the ease,
CHAPTER IV.—(Cont'd.)
Peter Piper had emerged from the
locker room with a soft gray hat, its
crown,shapelesn and its brim a series
of irregular ripples from exposure
to many rains on his head, whistling
under his breath. What tune there
was to this musicalperformance con-
sisted of two phrases, endlessly re-
iterated, in a Iugubrious, monotonous
minor calculated to make the human
listener long to lift' his nose and howl.
"Put it outl" growled the water-
front man whose desk ajoined Peter's.
Peter stopped whistling long enough
to grin, then absent-mindedly resumed
his wailing cadence at the precise note
where he bad left off. He -tossed all
the clippings but one into a drawer,
which already contained carbon paper,
cigarettes, a torn bag of peppermints,
an assortment of very soft black
"copy" pencils, and an upset box of
paper-clips, The remaining clipping
he thrust into his. coat pocket, which
already bulged with several sheets of
folded copy paper.
"You'll emit that series of sounds
once too often some day," the water-
front man said, "and there'll be an-
other ax murder. 'Crazed reporter
slays mate.' What's the good cheer?"
"011, one of Jimmy's wild goose
chases. Nothing to it. It's bound to
be a fltlop. If Jimmy got the idea
that there was a cheesemongers' con-
vention being held in the moon, he'd
send some poor devil of a reporter out
to cover it—and by heck, he'd get so
firmly fixed in the idea that he mustn't
come back without the story that the
chances are, he'd get there!"
Nevertheless, Peter was cheerful.
"Hoo-oo-'oo, hu-huhu-hoo." The
wailing notes were cut short by his
effort to dodge a wadded piece of copy
paper hurled after him by the water-
front man. He ducked with exagger-
ated alacrity, and made a hasty exit
into the library.
"Say, Ben, dig up what we've got
on this bird." Ile thrast'the clipping
which he had brought from the loeal
room into the hand of the library at-
tendant. "The society department
must have run a picture at some time
or other. If not, of what earthly use
are they, I ask it?"
' .A. few minutes later he had re-
crossed the logia] room, still whistling,
and slammed the door behind him. He
angled his battered car out of the Her-
ald's parking lot and favored the
watchman with a hoarse honk of
greeting. Peter called is car "Bossy"
because, he explained, it had a crump-
led here Like the cow in "The House
that Jack Built" It also had four
crumpled fenders whose waves anti
dents, were only to be matched by the
waves and dents in Peter's hat. 7t
was painted bright green, and there
were two bullet boles in the side cur-
tains, relics of Peter's rather too
prompt arrival on the scene of a shoot-
ing fray between the police and a
fugitive holdup man. Peter would not
have exchanged it in even trade for a
next year's model Rolls-Royce.
Twenty minutes later heparked
hastily, with a shriek of brakes, oppo-
site the house of Dr, Cavanaugh, The
haste was due to the fact that a small
sport coupe, very shiny as to nickel
trimmings, was at the moment draw-
ing up at the Cavanaugh entrance.
Peter's long legs swung, over the door,
Whose catch had a habit of sticking,
and by the time the girl in. the sport
coupe had alighted and clicked the
`door shut behind her, he was standing
en the sidewalk beside her, hat in
hand.

CHAPTER V.
Peter surveyed the girl with one
rapid glance, and took a chance,
"I'm a poor man, your honor," he
began.
The girl took ono step backward
and rtupped. The backward step was
the firs', reaction of one startled by an
unexpected voice at her elbow. But
Barbara Cavanaugh was a .girl who
usually stopped, to look things over
i.efore running away from them.
She saw before her a tall young
man in a baggy blue suit. His thick
black hair sprang up reealeitrantly
from a centre part. His long face was
slit by a wide, intelligent mouth which
divided a determined, outhrusting
chin from bright and peering gray
eyes.
Barbara hesitated for a moment,
then grinned back.
"You're a very poor speaker," she
capped. "And while you're undoubted-
ly mad enough, you'd never do for the
Mad Hatter—with that hat"
ISSUE No. -26—'31
"I knew it!" Peter crowed. "You
look so exactly like Alice in Wonder-
land- grown up that I='had to risk it.
I really am in a hell of a hole,,but if
you'd said 'Sir!' or 'Who are you?' I
suppose I'd just have had to stay in
it."
Peter forebore to tell her that he
had dilligently studied photographs of
Barbara Cavanaugh in The Herald s
morgue, and had already decided that
the looked like Alice in Wonderland
grown up. The clipping, at present
crumpled in his coat pocket, had led
him straight from the city editor's
desk' to the library's photograph files
-but there was no use exposing the
machinery behind an inspiration.
Barbara did indeed bear a resem-
blance 'to Tenniels immortal child.
She was very straight and 'slender,
and so short that her face was habi-
tually Iifted a little. Her straight
hair, yellow verging to soft brown,
was combed smoothly back from her
forehead and lifted behind ears that
had nothing to fear from exposure.
She achieved the difficult feat of ap-
pearing quaint, even with a shingled
coiffure and attired, as now, in a white
tennis dress rumpled from active play
and a sweater of vivid rose. Perhaps
the effect was unconsciously favored
by the shy and dazzled look in her
wide -set brown eyes. Barbara had
lived in an orphan asylum until her
fourteenth year, and she had never
recovered from the wonder of life,
which had begun as an inexorable
mechanism and had miraculoboty
taken on the aspects of a fairy tale.
She stood tapping the tip of her
tennis racquet up and down on the
sidewalk.
"But you couldn't have been after
seeing met" When agitated or puz-
zled, Barabra's voice—a low and
somewhat breathy voice, like the be-
ginnings of wind in leave 1—relapsed
into the diction of her orphan asylum
days.
"I just was, though!" Peter assert-
ed. "I'm it newspaper reporter, and
I'm out on the Ellsworth case."
"I know nothing about it!" Barbara
said sharply,'
Peter's eyebrows lifted slightly.
She'd been rather too quick about that.
He swiftly reviewed in his mind the
information contained in those clip
pings pasted to colored slips of paper,
with the typed heading, "Cavanaugh,
Barbara." It was a slim little file as
compared with the bulging manila
envelope devoted to the exploits of
her father, as chronicled in the press;'
From it emerged a general conoap•
tion of Barbara as a member of the
younger "countryclub set," more ad -
dieted to athletics than to formal so•
cial functions. Barbara with a silver
cup or two, Barbara as runner-up in
the inter -club tennis tournament. Bar-
bara arrested for speeding and naively
telling the judge as she paid her fine
that she'd "like to leave something
extra for the cop—be was such a
pleasant cop and absolutely in the
right!" (A good little "freak" story,
that had been). Barbara's name
underlined in red pencil in the society
chatter of "Suzanne.' What did this
engaging youngster have to do with
Sheila O'Shay who must have crossed
the "forty" line (though dates were
very hard to find in all the stories
about her), who boasted in Paris that
two men had fought a duel over her
and another had committed suicide in
despair of winning her favor, all on Prevent
revent
the same da A1- 1.
Y
And yet—there 'was that bit aboat1
Ellsworth. It might mean nothing, of
course; Ellsworth wrapped in the
glamor of, his fabulous wealth, w rs
always copy. There was Ellsworth'q
sudden unheralded marriage to Sheila
O'Shay a little less than a yeas ago,
and the equally sudden omission of his
dame from the lists of parties where,
Barbara wag tp'be found. Sheila," of
course, •in her own sphere, was 'glam-
,orous enough for anybody. In these
days only the most faded of dowagers
would( decline to meet the latest suc-
cessor of Helen of Troy. Ilad Ells.
worth purposely kept himself and his
wife out of Barbara's way? .All this
was the vaguest speculation—but Bar-
bara's quick and unnecessary dis-
avowal had given his a "lead."
'!Of course you couldn't possibly
know anything about the Ellsworth
case," he agreed. "Nevertheless, it's
because of that case that I've looked
you up. There's a point on which I
think you night help me, If I may
talk to you for just a.few minutes?"
"And' why should I?" Barbara said
coldly.
e Her face had shut down as if a
Wind had been drawn across a win-
dow. Barbara, who on ordinary oeea-
sions could easily have passed for
sixteen suddenly looked all of her
twenty-three years. Her"]ips tighten-
ed, losing their childish curve. Her
eyes flitted from side to aide,' from
the coupe at the curb to the doorway
of the big house. Peter suddenly
thought of a chipmunk which he had
caught when he was a boy.' It lad
lain quite still in his imprisoning fing-
ere, its eyes darting from side to side,
lute hers. '
"I think you should talk to Inc," he
said, "because the Ellsworth' affair
may turn out to be a very serious
case." -
She twisted the tennis racquet round
and round in her hands. Then she
turned without another word and
opened the door of the coupe, slipping
into the driver's seat and holding the
door open for him to enter.
(To be continued.)
Never!
Never make a friend of one
Whose word you can't rely upon;
Never ask a service you
Would not be prepared to do.
Never talk as though you were
Anyone's superior;
Never make the least pretence
To special wisdom, wit, and sense.
Never act as though impelled
By a head unduly swelled;
Never give a man a chance
On your prostrate form to dance.
Never, when you come off best,
Jump on your opponent's cheat;
Never let your left hand know
Gifts your right band may bestow.
Never others treat as though
You belonged to life's front row;
Never bo content with just
Doing what yon ought or' must.
Never grumble at your lot;
Thank the Lord for what you've got!

The Prince of Fruits
"You'll know what my riddle means
When you've eaten mangosteene,"
sang Rudyard Kipling in "Just -so
stories." And for a long time "that
prince of all earthly fruits, the man-
gosteen," as it was called by an ear-
lier writer•, has only been known by
those who have adventured "east of
Suez."
Now, however, thanks to cold stor-
age and tate enterprise of Burma and
the Empire Marketing Board, smiles
of this fruit are being made available
In England, and those in search of a
new flavor can sample them. The
mangosteen is about the size .01 an
orange, with a leathery, Clark purple
rind. The flavour of the white pulp
Inside reminds the eater of the nen
tarine, but with a dash of strawberry
and pineapple added.
More fresh fruit than ever was eat-
en in Great Britain last year, the aver-
age consumption per head for the
twelve months being nearly eighty-
three pounds. Apples are the most
popular fruit and account for over
twenty-four pounds ottt of the eighty-
three, while the average consumption
of oranges is just a pound a head
lower. Bananas come third on the
list — ten pounds and a half — and
plums --seven pounds—are fourth.
Wheti a bank breaks, many rainy -
day umbrellas get washed away.
Insect Plagues
Bird Life Should Be 'Protect-
ed' from Roaming Cats
Declares Field
Naturalist
That human existence would be
threatened without insectivorous birds
and that no form of vegetation could
long endure without the protection of
such.birde is stated in a bulletin just
issued liy the Roosevelt Wild Life Ex-
periment Statien at the New York
State College of Forestry, Syracuse,`
Titis'pubiication is the result of In-
vestigations made' by Charles J.
Spiker, field naturalist, and relates to:
a biological reconnaissance of swamp
and pond areae,
"Through its )towers of Right," says
Mr, Spiker, "a bird is it free agent and
.the scope of its activities is enormous.
The value of birds in times of insect
plagues is great." Mr. Spiker records
instanceswhere birds have put an end
to insect plagues. He refers to one
*here the people of Utah dedicated a
840,000'monumetit to the great flock
of California Gulls which destroyed
the black cricket invasion in Utab in
the days of the Mormon settlements.
"There is scarcely any form -of in-
sect life which Is not eaten by some
bird," declares Mr. Spiker. "A. time
when the value of birds as devourers
of insects is evident is during the fall
and 'spring when the farmer is plowing
his field," Mr. Spiker condemns the
roaming "tab,,by," "Si e is inimical to
game birds," says he, "largely during
the season of rearing young, But to.
our small song and insectivorous birds
she la a menace the year round. She
leaves many a brood parentless and
destroys even the nestlings them-
selves, Few nests are Inaccessible to
cats. The homeless cat is more often
responsible for these outrages.'
Nursilig's Greatest Name
The tributes paid to the memory of
Florence Nightingale in connection
with the anniversary of her birth re-
cently have revealed the fact that a
number of those who were among her`
patients during the Crimean War are
still alive.
Among them is one who can boast
that he is the only man wife was kiss-
ed by her.
He was a drummer -boy, and had
been shot through the right hand. As
be was crying out in pain for his moth-
er, the "lady with the lamp" approach-
ed his bed and whispered: "Let me
kiss you for your mother."
It was due to Florence Nightingale
that the schools of nursing in Eng-
lish hospitals were established, and
that nursing was transformed from an
inferior sort of domestic service to an
honored profession, The Red Cross
movement was another fruit of her
work to relieve human suffering.
An English Passion Play?
During the summer months open-air
festivals, playa, concerts, and exhibi-
tions of dancing are often arranged in
suitable parks, and some of them at-
tract
ttract large numbers of spectators.
New possibilities in this direction,
however, are opened by a suggestion
made by Herr Anton Lang, who has
won world-wide fame by his reverent
playing of the part of our Lord in
the Ober-Ammergau Passion Play
When he visited London recently be
told a Pressman that he saw no rea-
son why there should not be a Passion
Play in London, staged on similar lines
to that at Obe1'-Amrnergao. He
thought that this would be possible in
Hyde Park.
Give Your Teeth a Chance
If you want to bave good teeth—
ain't keep them—you must wateh your
diet. It isn't sufficient just to buy a
tooth brush and use it.
That is one of the things that have
been discovered as aa'esnit of a recent
investigation.
Carrots, green vegetables, milk, but-
ter, and eggs, with 11811, beef, or mut-
ton to provide animal fat, are neces-
sary parts of a diet that will give
healthy teeth,
But the result will he obtained only
if these fools are sufficiently fresh
and rich in vitamins—a point that
tells very materially in favor of the
home -produced article as against the
imported,

Mothers and Wife Say "Bon Voyage"
Four intrepid Montreal' cowmen started on Saturday a 6000 -mile journey over the waterways followed by
La Salle in his historic journey from Montreal to New Orleans. They 'are Paul Paquin, leader of an Across -
Canada canoe expedition last year;, Jean Milson, R. Beaudry and Ni. Bourcier. Relatives witnessed their start
from Lachine, on historic Lake St. Louis when the mothers of Masson and Mercier, (left and right) and, the
wife of Paul Paquin were on hand to 'wish them godspe ed on their journey which is expected to take diem 10
months. The party, in two "Canayank" canoes, will .fellow the St. Lawrence west to the Great Lakes, and pad-
dling westward as far as Duluth, will then strike south ward' to the southern metropolis.

military camp into an uproar, I
wbstlod softly to Scottie and grop-

Quietly I slipped under the can-

The knife I throw away. One pistol
I pocketed; with the other I induced

blanket, I shoved my captive tinder

to where the horses were held by
Fu Hsu.
Once we had put some distance be-

questioned our prisoner, To our
amazement, we discovered that we

General Fong as a hostage.
"Tell him" I said, :'that as soon as

The interpreter translated my
message.
"General say he no can do", said
Fu Hsu, "He say you sullender now

Eye -Trouble I What New York
Caused By Fat Is Wearing
Dieting laomises To Be Pre- BY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON
ventive Says Detroit Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fu',-
Physician nished With Ever(' Pattern
Philadelphia, Pa.—A 'new role for
fat, as the injurious agent in several
forms of eye trouble, was .explained
a.: the American Medical Society meet -
These troubles have no relation to
overweight, but are due to alterations
of the body fats, called lipids, which
cause them 8irectly or indirectly to
affect the eyes. Dieting promises con-
trol sufficient ti be a preventive in
many cases.
The work was presented by Parker
Heath, M.D., of Detroit. He said that
it is "based on a new understanding of
broad biological and chemical pro-
cesses and offers simplification in un-
derstanding many diseases."
These fat changes come about in
connection with something going
wrong in the army of disease fighters
regularly maintained in the blood, the
white cells, called phagocytes. Their
job is to clean up infections, and their
name means the "eaters." They change
into tropble-makers because of altera-
tions in the body's metabolism, its pro-
cesses of changing food into the sub-
stance needed for nourishment. In
this metabolism upset, the fats may
also undergo changes.
The result is an increase in the
white blood cells, which appear in the
form of very large cells called macro-
phages, infest the fat in the blood,
and start injuring or destroying body
tissues. Dr. Heath has identified
various eye troubles as due to this
kind of attack, either directly or in
after effects.
CHANGE IN DIET URGED.
Among these eye troubles are some
degenerative diseases and cases of
arterio-selerioses. Changes in diet,
Dr. Heath said, may control anis cor-
rect the metabolism alterations in
fats, and so prevent the eye diseases,
but are unlikely to effect cures if be-
gun after . the optic nerve has been
affected,
