BY NANCY BABB MAVITY, SYNOPSIS Sheila•O'Shay, former popular noires now the wife of the multi-mIlltonai' Don blilsworth, disappears, leaving n trace. Aon visite Dr. Cavanaugh,- th famous criminologist, and confesses hi married- life - has been unhappy. Pete Piper, reporter of The Repaid, 2e seht Dr, Cay.anaugh's home. By accident h meets- the dootor's adopted daughte Barbara Cavanaugh and leal'na that sh 1s interested in the case. She confess she was engaged to .Ellsworth before hi marriage and persuades Peter to leav without seeing Dr. Cavanaugh. On re turning to The Herald office rete learns that ah unidentified body has bee found in the tule marsh outside the cit y "I'll say they mayn't P" Camberwel s, agreed with ironic- fervor. `o "I've no' more to go on than you e have." Dr. Cavanaugh went on, c• scrutinizing the glowing tip of his to cigar: "But I've given ,the case a e little thought—a sort of preliminary `e survey. I've known young. Don Ells- , e worth for several years; and he, came. a to me the other night, to see what I v could make- ofeit. ;'.declined to take ,t ,up the cage professionally, because I hag an idea you might call upon me. It's too bad I didn't knowabout this latest find of yours—if I had, I'd have won a nickel with myself when you called up!" "You do think, then, that she's been done away with!" "Not necessarily. We have here— or drather we haven't here—a woman entirely free of one of the most pow- erful restrictions on human conduct the fear of social diapproval. Sheila O'Shay made herselffeonspicuous in a variety of ways on two continents. And however disreputable the ways were, from the point of view of con- ventional society, she capitalized them to her advanta3e. "She made a bad, reputation pay. She is an exhibition- ist. Whatever she did contributed to the gate receipts. Now this woman, whose latest and most conspicuous act 'was her marriage to a multi-milloin- etre several years her junior disap• years. She is excessively fond of money—pr rather of what money will buy in the way of a flaunting display of luxury. That has been amply in- dicated by her previoss career. She is also highly sexed—which has like- wise been sufficiently indicated," "It certainly has," Camberwell agreed again. "If she went away of her awn free will, there is the possibility that she was actuated by a strong sex impulse, directed elsewhere than toward her husband. I very much doubt if she ever felt any very compelling attrac- tion toward a man of Ellsworth's type. There is also the possibility that Ellsworth put the screws on fin- ancially and she found that being married to a multi -millionaire did not give her immediate access to all the millions to play with. In either ease, she•might have left as suddenly and as inexplicably as she did. She would not be hampered, you see, by consid- eration for lion nor by the fear of publicity. She may, indeed, have planned the manner of her exit, know- ing . the stir it would cause, as pre- liminary press agentry for a return to the stage!" "But in that case—in any of those cases—we ought to have got some trace of her!" "I would not understand her re- sourcefulness," Dr. Cavanaugh count- ered. "In no sense of the words was Sheila O'Shay born yesterday How- ever, there is the second possibility that she was abducted, perhaps for ransom, perhaps by a jealous former lover. And there is, of course, the third that she was murdered. So far it's all speculation." "But this tule marsh business--" "This tule marsh business may in- deed substitute a second mystery for the firs;f—or merely add another. un- related one. By the way, if it were Sheila O'Shay, it would hardly be un- recognizable so soon, would it? Or would it? You haven't told me, you know." "That pat fits,in all right, as to time. But it makes identification the very ' dickens of a "job. Properly speaking, the body wasn't found in the marsh at all, but above it, on the south slope of EI Cerrito hill. There was a grass fire there a couple of weeks ago that burned the place over. This morning a group of boys play- ing Indian stumbled on the body. It had been burned' beyond recognition. It might have lain therein the tall grass for month or -years--except that the charred remains showed lit- tle sign of exposure to the weather." "And this fire—how .did it start?" "There _you have us. There. was a high north wind blowing for several days about that time. 1 remember it, and anyway, the weather reports bask it up. Under those conditions,.grabs fires along that strip are common enough—a cigarette' end thrown out of an automobile, a spark froin a passing locomotive, embers of a 'jungle' fire made by tramps -any one of a num- ber of things might account for it. On the other hand, the are' came` pretty pat to destroying all chance of identi- fying denti-f ing that body." ' "Yee don't quite mean that," Dr. Cavanaugh leaned back in his chair. He had a way of appearing most Ye- laxed' when another man would have leaped forward in strained attention. "You would not have culled me away from .golf to attempt the impossible —because you're one of, the very, few people who realize that the impossible is one of the things that simply isn't done." (To be continued.) CHAPTER iX.—(Cent'd.) Between these two -the doctor, whose heavy figure was unobtrusively clad in a suit tailored by Brooks' Bro- thers, whose long, pale cigars were manufactured for him individually, according to his own mixture, and the grizzled little man in plain clothes who swung in the battered swivel chair and rolled in rapid succession a series of Bull Durham cigarettes, there existed none of the antagonists traditional between the police and the independent "expert." Camberwell's admiration for the pscllologist wee more than profession- al. Ile had not arrived at his present office on the top floor of the city hall tower without a great deal of incredu- lous and scornful opposition. He had been the first man o.. the coast to les stall and classify fingerprint -records in the old days when criminals were identified—or more frequently weren't —by description and photographs only. More recently he had talked, read, almost eaten and slept "fennel.: ballistics," those telltale individual "fingerprints" left ana bullet in its passage through a gun barrel, I -Ie had forced the detective bureau to take seriously the measurement of realtion time as a test of reracity-a device seized upon with glee by the public press, described with inspired inac- curacy, and captioned the "truth de- tector," As a result, he had heard himself described es a freak and his depart- ment criticized as an example of new- fangled, high -avow "college" police methods. But his methods had held their own in court; and his practice of seeking the collaboration of Dr Ca- vanaugh whom some other members of the department somewhat snorting- ly referred to as a "nut cracker," httd not only contributed to the defence of his pet theories, but on more than one occasion had held him back from serious blunders. Cavanaugh's association with Cam- berwell, on the other hand, had Ied the psychologist to turn his wide-ranging curiosity on the problems of personal identification. It had given him what he.: always called a "mere hobby"... but it was a hobby which he put to frequent and very practical use. In return, he had given to the policemen, struggling through the thickets of uncharted research, the encourage- ment of his ,support in some rather dark and stormy periods. Camber- well's admiration of talents different from his own was intensified by per. *tonal gratitude. "So far," Dr. Cavanaugh reminded him gently, "you have two quite iso- lated facts to consider. A corpse that has been found and a woman that hasn't." "But it isn't a corpse!" Camber- well's chair squeaked with accelerated tempo. "I only wish it were!" CHAPTER X. "Oh!" Dr. Cavanaugh said in 'mild surprise. "My error. I was distinct- ly under the impression that a corpse was the thief occasion for this con- fereece." "It isn't as good.as a corpse," Cam- berwell said, as if he had ordered one and it had not come`up to specifica- tions. "Not nearly so good,' It's only remains." "Well,, thee, suppose for the moment we postpone consideration of the corpse which isn't there, and 'concen- trate on the Iady, who isn't there either." Dr. Cavanaugh drew several meditative puffs from his cigar before he went on. "Every act, of. course, is the expression of a motive, and the motive behind• a given act is deter- mined by eharacter, temperament, call it what you will. Conversely, if: you know a person's _character well enough, you know what motives will, operate in his strongly enough eo pro- duce actions, slid what actions they are likely to produce. Unfortunately, we don't ktlow Mrs. Elisworth's char- acter half well enough for such pre. diction. If I had'known site was go- ing to disappear," he added whintsi tally, "I should have made much bet- ter etter use of' the few opportunities fox observation that came my way. Whlti' little 1 do know complicates ,rather than simplifies the possiliirlities. Mrs. Ellsworth was a far front conventiont- .i person, and her'ttets, therefore, may not fall into the grooves of.conven- tional conduct" Andent Inc.., s Are Declared •Modern Very. Little Belhi,nd Europea Conquerors in Culture Berkeley; Ca1iY,—mho Culture of th ancient Incas wee ' ae advanced, that of•Huropo in the sixteenth • es tury, with -the exception of only thre essential discoveries,': says Dr.. R0 aid Olson,assistant curator o South Ambrican Archaeology at th American Museum of Natural tory, and an associate professor a the 'University of California for th 1931-32 scholastic year, according t a _ correspondent ee ,the Christie Science 'Monitor. - ' . Mr. Olson's conclusion is contain et 'in a statement .concerning these attefent rulers of some 2300 miles of the western' coast of South America, issued by cite University of " Cali-, Yornia, - "Splendid as . were the , a0hetee nroute of the civilizations, of prehis- toric Peru in the'W8Y of agriculttire,' the arts, and political• and social schemes," Dr.' Olson • said in the statement, "they- were hindered by ignorance of these basic traits. Ex Outfor these they were 'perhaps as civilized as their European conquer- ors.. - "But take these traits - welting, iron, the -wheel—out of .,ur own out- fitted scheme and we find ourselves unable to carry .on our Modern Mee. Thewonder is that the' ancient Peru- vians, lacking these ideas, had pro - grassed to far." The' article by Dr.- Olson is the first of a series of studios ; on the recon- struction of the caltural history .of Peru, and is based. on the Myron I. Granger expedition, in which he took part. • He says: "When Pizarro and his band of 190 doughty warriors land- ed at Tumbez in 1532, the greater part of • the modern republics of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and •Chile was a powerful empire—the domin- ion of the Quechua people. Over it ruled the Inca; supreme emperor, demi-god, offspring of the sun." Thee empire, it is explained, ewes about live centuries in building, and for 1000 years before that time the culture on which this civilization was built was in process of develop- ment among the southern Nazea pep- p1e and the northern Shimu. Con- cerning the early beginnings of these p :es he says: "As far back as the days when the mammoth, the mastodon, and other now extinot animals roamed. the Andes, man came on the steno. This was 5000, possibly 10,000 years ago. It may be that these animals of the Pleistocene survived in certain fav- ored regions until well into the re- cent period. "These early human inhabitants were probably very primitive in cul- ture. We know that they haunted the mastodon and other animals for food, and that they knew the art of pottery making, but here our knowl- edge ends. The remains of these planeer•a aro either difficult to find or we kava not yet learned ltow,t0locate them." n 0 as n- 0 n- 1 e 0 0 n The Horse a Performing Animal m, Y, Y. in the New Statesman (Lon- don): When once a bridle is put on his head, the horse becomes a per- forming animal. Tire cat and the dog are free. The dog may be trained for certain purposes, but oven then he is, following the bent of his nature. Te tai in a comfortable home is one of the idle ricb. The horse, on the other hand, i$ trained to do things that are contrary to his nature. It is not natural for him to jump over a 1Iva-barred gate with a man on his back. It is not natural for him to com- pete in races with other horses with a man on his back. It is not natural for him to plod up and down a Reid all day, dragging against the weight 0f a paoug'• that is eating its way through the earth. He lute to be broken in to these tasks as a performing elephant has to be broken in to his tricks, and the bit that restrains hint and fife whip that constrains him are symbols of his slavery. s Uses of Sentiment A sentiment is the only thing that can reach success, because sentiment is the only thing that can survive fall- ere, Even defeat does not defeat it.

Popular Fair Enlivens Streets of Munich Suburb o,The normally peaceful 'square sur- rounding the Mariahile Church in Munich, writes a correspondent of "The Christian Science Monitor," hum re-echoed with the chatter and laugh- ter of an eager, good-tompored crowd and the persistent sallies of a host of Cheap -jacks, Tho occasion for this was the "Auer-Dult," a popular fair which derives its name front the Au, an ancient suburb of Munich en the River Isar. The Auer Dult`is one of the city's oldest regular events. There are rifle - ranges, photographic studios, Punch - and -Judy shows, and many .other forms of popular entertainment at the fair, but the majority of those who visit it go there not to be amused, but with the fixed intention of making a good bargain, The scores of gayly decked booths offer for sale every variety of article front apples to zine! Crtxbkery, houses Lied fittings, table ;:nen, pore 8n pans and secondhand furniture are to be found in abundance, and every careful Munich housewife considers it a duty to go to the Auer -Duct in the hope of picking up some cheap object Of ornament or utility for her, home. There is also another type of bar- gain hunter to he observed at the Dult, -the eager collector or curio seeker. Amid masters stacked "nigh with gift- gerbread and toys, old clothes, boats and window blinds, a keen and prate Geed eye may pick out some rare book, a valuable piece of old furniture, or an ancient breastplate or sword.

Chi - General Lu sent for firs in baste: Fie • wanted to start at once, Re had sold out his position as General for a huge -stun of money, which had just arrived, and he was anxious to be off before any of his officers found out and'made frim di.vte up: iris wealth, The . following night we bid Guy and ; good-byJede,. and.Stonebe- gan our trip under cover of darkness. Six ]hundred mi18s or more across the Chinese Sea was no loke. Many bad storms • and. typhoons Sweep the waters, and heavy sea fogs make flying danger- ous. Once off the ground I could see we were 1n for it, The air was just full of bumps, and General em and his faithful servant grew nervous, We tried a thousand feet higher up, and it was even worse, The plane 'tossed like a boat riding on a rough sea. The sky gradually clouded up and the wind grew in volume. The dark- ness and fog 'seemed to orowd uta down 'to the water, Long curling waves with sharp white crests made any chance. of surviving 'iutpessible, pho'uld we be forced down, Hour after hour wt. flew along, steering by the . instruments. A cold wet drizzle blew right ;through our coats. I wrapped a blanket around S'oottie, but the poor little chap still shivered: Theeemet few days ' had been -strenuous, And we -were about fagged out. Most like- ly I dozed, for the next thing I knew I was being vigorously shaken. Scot- tie was barking furiously, Right ,ander our. wheels the waves lapped aungrily. I nosed the plane up. The gasoline swished around in nearly empty tanks. Flying against the wind had exhausted our supply, We might have enough for another fifty miles. The dawn broke in a cold grey 'streak. .I strained rey -eyes to sea' a large black object through the 0iie1, Then a rocky headland emerged -front the fog -0n our left, • Carefully I banked the plane and nosed her down' as close to, the mocks, as I dared: It was -a, sheer precipice.

Imagine my despair when the cliff •began to rise again land ended in a steep crag without a single` Web of sandy :beach. Soon we circled the Island, and it was simply a tremen dous volcanic rook with straight, high sides. Suddenly ere noticed a line of white breakers' a utile or two away.

The order was filled, on re- quest of the Soviet Embassy at s• Athens„ at one of the refugee camps 0- on the outskirts of the city, where the value of the spiders was -first demon - t ideated strikingly about six years ago. 0- Each spider was placed in a glass with ten flies (no bedbugs could be found et at the tine) for food. Moro spider's were desired but only five ecoid be found at the 11oisariani n+ camp. 1` The spider, known under the digni- fied name of T. PlavJdius Simon, is a o remarkable creature. Soon after re - e ftrgee camps were estabiished hero following the war, hordes of bugs ap- peared in the wooden barracks. They g kept increasing and grew so obnoxious d that many of the refugees moved their n cots outdoors. Suddenly in a few menthe, the num- d ber of vermin diminished t111 preeli- t ca11y all were gone.

Her imports ht.v-e beon growing larger every year with a eonseggent depressing effect upon Italy's trade balance. Before the 'war Italy exported eggs worth 48,818,395• lire, while those im- ported totaled only 4,065,980 lire, Her egg exports were more than ten times greater than ber imports, while export of live and killed poultry ;lyes approxi mately four timesgreater than im- ports, In the first two months of this year Italy paid 16,044,188 lire for for- eign egga, compared to 12,067,150 lire for the corresponding period in 1980 and 8,082,184 lire in 1920.
