The "banner lino" in heavy black type that streamed across eight col- umns at the top of the first page caught Peter's eye as the cony boy flung the city edition across his Type- writer.. Something in the pit of his stomach seemed to perform a sickening flip- flop—the same feeling which always seized him when a rapidly rising ele- vator jerked to a stop. The reaction rock of Giisrafta " was instantaneous and unreasonable, "Do you mind telling me—not for It could not possibly he,— He snatched the paper front the desk and sank slowly into his chair, his eyes leaping from line to line of the brief story which announced .hat Mrs. Nellie Kane, former dresser and maid of Mrs. Don Ellsworthy (Sheila O'Shay) was lodged in the city jail. "No charges have been placed against the woman, according to Cap- tain of Inspectors L. B. Davis. but it is alleged that she is suspected of holding important information which she has derlii,ed to divulge and which, in the opinion of the police, may have a bearing on the case." "Than'. God!" breathed Peter. And added: "Idiot!" He was ashamed ,,f his own relief —a relief which left him light meartcd to the pitch of giddiness. Had he lout all sense of proportion, of probability? He decided, ruefully, that he evident- ly had. But his absurd buoyancy, as if a heavy role had come hurtling down in the direction of his head and had then miraculously missed him, persisted. "Because she's old and poor and probably dowdy, they call her 'the wo- man'," he mused with a sardonic smile. "If she'd been young and belonged in the fur coat class, ,he'd have been 'Mrs. I{ane' throughout. Lord, whet snobs these mortals tel" "Mrs. Ellsworth, whose disappear - aro on the eighteenth of )net And get a picture of the mother and br by." The tumult of'the local room was in full swing as Peter banged the door behind him. "Whatever MI's. Kane knew had no. thing to do with Barbara. If the old lady really knew something—get it? You bet he'd get it! If that dame knew something that would let Bar- bara out—Peter's enthusiasm for Mrs, Kane would have astonished that somewhat unprepossessing person be- yond measure if .,he had been aware of it. It mounted so rapidly that by the time he reached the steps of the city hall, he was almost running, leav- ing the camera man, dragging his black box and tripod, to pant ..long behind him. Captain Davis, however, was tui - responsive to Peter's carefully veiled eagerness. "Nothing doing," he said decisively, as Peter leaned over the edge of his roll-top desk. "Wait till she's charg- ed—if she ever is." "Maybe if I talked to her, she'd let something slip," Peter suggested. "No chance," Davis reiterated. ' Our r.en have been talking to her all night. She's about as likely to slip as the THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insaarance Company Head Office, Seaforth, Ont. President, J. Rennewele, Srodhagen, ', loo-inneiden2, James Connolly, Ooderieh.

Captain Davis was well accustomed. to the persistence of reporters; 'ors. over, though he had learned to 'lend firm against that persistence, he was not averse to a little chat with Peter. bomewhat to his surprise, however, Peter hunched himael" upright and showed no inclination to linger in the captain's office; non was There any sign of disappointment visible on his mobile countenance. "Well, see you later," he remarked with a fine casualness, as he drifted out into the hallway. He did not, however, leave the city month—" Thera followed a resumeanemia- ly. of kali^ Instead, he leaned against ono the case, which Peter scanned anemia- ly.

And by jimmy, the old bird pretty nearly did it, just by the way he looked at me." Thus disrespectfully did Peter refer to one of the foremost psychiatrists of the United States. "Piper!" The voice of the city edi- tor blared, like the blast of a trumpet considerably off key. At the sound, Peter was his alert+ nonchalant, lounging self again. "Present me accounted for," he grinned, ae he strolled over to the city desk. "I want you to get an interview with this Kane woman. Get her picture if "Good morning, Dr. Cavanaugh," -you ean.

'Mat caste before: Captain- Jimmy sees a Chinese pirate junk trying to sink another ship and goes to the rescue in Ms plane. He swoops down in a 'sur-. prise attack and leaves trio junk in a disabled condition. The last we saw' of her, she seem- ed to be half full of water. Whether' she ever made. the shore of China, in the stiffening breeze, is doubtful. Meanwhile, we circled back toward I the little ship. Something white and dense, rose from; her decks. Smoke! Then a flash of, red frame. Sure enough—those vi1.4 Hans had set her afire. • As we circled over the doomed vessel, large clouds of Heavy white smoke drifted up from the decks, Tamen, to our relsmay, we noticed that time pirates had cut every life boat loose before they fled -from the ship, thus taking away the crew's only means of es- cape. , Back we headed for the frolglmter and as we passed I dropped a note on her declts. "Ship on Aro. No lifeboats. Ifilrry." But the captain of the freighter needed no warning. Stearn up, he drove his ship with all possible speed. Meanwhitti, we circled around and waited, for the water was now too rough to alight.. Fire at sea is a beautiful sight and a dreadful one too. In Immo way it 18 like a Are in the country. 'Unless someone catches it at first, it ie, al- most impossible to put it ont, and all you ,.an do is to stand by and watcli it burn. The stern of the little ship now be- gan to blaze brightly and the pas- sengers turned like 0 mob of fight- ing madmen, pushing and shoving to get away. Here, the value of dis- cipline and training showed up—for in contrast to the frenzied rush 00 the passengers, the ships officers re- ' mained cool and collected. Meanwhile, the freighter drew neap, the cpataln manoeuvreing his ship so it would approach from the windward of the burning boat. The wind would then be driving the smoke away from the freighter. For a few minutes we 'could not understand his plan, then it became clear. He swung his bow around and made it fast to the bow of the burning ship. In a minute 01020 he was taking the passengers off and none too soon for the little ship was fast becoming a, raging furnace. Meanwhile, we spotted a patch of nice smooth water to the lee of the freighter and quickly alighted. In a tew minutes the derrick swung us ' up to the deck and we rushed for- ward to help in the rescue. The first sight that greeted our eyes Chung—Banging on for dear life to the nozzle of a Are arose, with a big Filipino sailor helping him. ' Just Hien, one of the ship's officers called the sailor who went away and Ileft only Chang to Handle the hose. Those high pressure hose will wig- gle and squirm like snakes and it takes two strong men to control them. 'You can guess what halt pened, Onc0 the sailor let Lemgo, the hose be• , alive. Chung didn't dare let go for fear it would fry up and hit hint —and Ito simply couldn't steer' it.
