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.

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.

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, The sleeper some people sink Into debt the higher they seem to hold their beads up. 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.

Wrapped in a blanket, I shoved my captive tinder the tent wall, and marched him along to where the horses were held by Fu Hsu. Once we had put some distance be- tween ourselves and„ the camp, we questioned our prisoner, To our amazement, we discovered that we shad secured no less a personage than General Fong as a hostage. "Tell him" I said, :'that as soon as it becomee light, he'll write me an order for 150 gallons of gasoline, twenty 'gaaIena of oil and a supply of food, and if he doesn't write the order pronto, I'll take him apart by hand to see wbat makes him tick".

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, "Mixed Flower Seeds --Ten Cents" With onethinpiece of silver I Have bought A treasure-trove eo rich with lovely things; Though feather -light, this little bag is fraught With precious hoard beyond the richest king's.
