He becomes a master crook. "To prey upon thieves; that shall be my career," he decides. "For if a thief is robbed, where may he look for re- dress?" Ainsley visits the Jardin des Nymphes in Paris with two American acquaintances. A tall, white-haired man is pointed out to him as the White Eagle. The White Eagle, it appears, is a brilliant crook who never has fallen into the clutches of the law. The White Eagle is in the company of a gross, vulgar -seeming man and woman. Ainsley suspects that the his cabin tonight submit to a search. White Eagle is manipulating a It's Mr. Higgins, sir—his wife's pearl; ewineman dl and fiomannds utthenthen leavesames the his you and three other gentlemen have cabins in this corridor.

"And because I happen to have a cabin in the same quarter of the ship with Higgins, I'm to be insulted by that swine, am I?" I cried. He whistled.

Of course you that bit of junk. That'll break his heart. He sure hates to spend a nickel where it won't show, the old tight -wad." I agreed with him, sighing as I did so, thinking how well I could use the money represented by that pearl. In- deed, the thought was so agonizing that I left the lounge long before the concert was over,seeking solace in the smoke room. The room was deserted, save for the one -eyed man. Unwilling to arouse any latent suspicion in hint, I had hitherto refrained from accosting him But now I nodded pleasantly to him It was my last chance to make his ac- quaintance, and I had not yet given up the idea that here was opportunity. But when I followed my nod with an invitation to join me in a pint of champagne, he brusquely refused. His one good eye shot a suspicious glance at me. I noted that that eye was gray, and that his glass eye matched the other. Rebuffed, I made no further effort. I drank my wine, rose, took a turn around the deck, and went to my stateroom. I immediately undressed and went to bed, finally convinced that whatever the mystery of Higgins, the White Eagle and the one -eyed man, it was beyond my power to solve and profit by it. Somewhere along toward dawn, I was aroused by pounding at my door. I climbed from my bed, threw a dress- inggown over my pajamas, and open - "Sorry sir" he said, "but would you mind coming to the lounge?" "What's the idea?" I asked. "Ship on fire or something?" He smiled deprecatingly. "Nothing like that, sir, butone of the passen- gers has lost some jewelry. Rather a valuable trinket." "Well, what's that to do with me?" I demanded. "Nothing, sir, I hope," he replied. "But the gentleman insists that all persons who passed by the door of wife the vulgarity of ostentation. Good evening, sir." Ile turned on his heel, followed by his compatriot, and stalked, with what dignity a man in a bathrobe may achieve, from the lounge, The one -eyed man same close to Higgins and in rapid French assailed him. And then, suddenly, I under- stood. Not Higgins,' manner told Me; the plutocrat acted his part too well. But the light of one of the electric lamps flashed on the Frenchman's face, and the mystery that had been puzzling hie for a week was solved at last. • I went back to bed, neither re- proaching Higgins, nor paying any attention .to his perfunctory apologies. 1 elept soundly, happily, as one should who knows that on the morrow he will acquire a fortune. With the other passengers I disem- barked' next day.. I submitted to the usual examination of my baggage. I saw the reporters buzzing about the Higginsee, and knew that the after- noon headlines would be devoted to the loss of the precious Ranee's Pearl, I chuckled as I thought of the story* would could be written, but not be printed in the newspapers. You see, I had no doubt as to my success. had T pierced the disguise of Oppor- tunity. Outside the Customs shed I follow- ed the porter with my baggage to a taxi. I told the chauffeur to drive my things to the Hotel Regina, took his number to assure myself of his hon- esty, and then waited. In a few min- utes the one -eyed man arrived. His porter handed his bags to a taxi driver. The one -eyed pian climbed into the cab. And I climbed in after him. He would have expostulated, save that I pressed something against his ribs, the something being the muzzle of an automatic pistol. The driver did not see this byplay, and when I told hint that I would accompany his passen- ger, made no objection. He closed the door upon us, climbed into his seat and started the cab.. "What do you want?" demanded the one -eyed man. "I smiled cheerfully at him. "Your right eye," I told him,. I pressed the muzzle harder against his chest. "No use in crying out; it would be jail for you even if you live," I warned him. There, in the centre of crowded West Street, he removed his glasseye and handed it to me. At the next corner I knocked on the window, and the chauffeur stopped. I alighted, waved an airy adieu to my one -eyed friend, an•d strolled blithely across town, a little later to pick up a taxi and drive to the Regina. Afraid of pursuit? Had I not al- ready conquered the .one -eyed man Afraid of the police? Would Higgins, who had conspired at the simulation of a robbery, in order to avoid the payment of a tremendous duty, con- fess onfess his own attempt at crime? roe.the minute that I had discover- ed the whereabouts of the Ranee's Peart, I understood why Higgins had discussed business with the White Eagle. The millionaire's notorious par- simony had caused him to invoke the supercrook's aid at defrauding the Customs- That was the only possible • explanation of all that had bewildered me. How had I discovered the where- abouts of the pearl? Simply enough; the one -eyed man's glass eye had been gray in the smoke -room; it was green beautifully. Small, medium and large when the electric light flashed upon it size. The medium size requires 3% in the lounge. Instantly I understood yards 27.einch; 3 yards 82 or 86 -inch; why the White Eagle had printed his 214 yards 40 -inch material with 14 t to and 214 friends and returns to his apartment. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I admitted that it was. "But it's not extremely large," I said. "It's as big as your eye" he de- clared- "And it's the most perfect pearl of its size in existence. I heard Maret jabbering about it.

The captain presents his compliments, sir, and hopes that you will waive your rights, and help him to avoid a scan- dal for the ship's sake." "If you put it that way, to oblige the captain—certainly," said I. I followed him down the corridor, across an open space and into the lounge. There were Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and their servants; also iLif The cool, comforting flavor of WRIGLEY'S Spearmint is a Lasting pleasure.

Quite recently the dinner home at Buckingham Palace was altered from • 8 ;o'clock to 7.45, that King George might finish his last light meal of the dee at least a clear three hours be- fore retiring for the night. Here is a sample of an ordinary dinner menu at the palace: Oysters Soup Grilled Sole Chicken Cutlets Ice Pudding Through the great Afghan banquet with its. twenty-fpur compere Kinig George sat laughing and talking but eating scarcely a morsel more than he does any ordinary night, and just toying with the dainties prepared by M. Cedard, the famous royal chef, who for one night was allowed to ex- ercise his genius regardless of cost. Prince Dislikes Long Dinners The Prince of Reales got through it as his father did, by making a pre- tence of eating and enjoying small portions of titre diehes, but perhaps even a greater. trial to him was sitting through the elaborate banquet for two hours. At public dinners attended by the Prince in London and elsewhere it is nowadays understood by these enter- taining ntertaining the Prince that His Royal Highness does not wish a dinner to last more than an thour at the longest. At York House the Prince's dinner, when he dines by himself, generally consists of a cut from a joint of cold roast beef, a fruit tart, an ice, and a pint of beer. Then a pipe. And when he dines with intimate friends the dinner they give him is much the same. But the Prince is too well schooled in the art of looking cheerful in cir- cumstances that are disagreeable to him not to have been able to get smil- ingly through a lengthy banquet. Duke Leans to Ceremony UNUSUAL APRON An unusual apron, Beverly design- ed, that appears more like a pretty morning frock, is found in pattern No. 345. It has a comfortable fitting waist, which is cut in one with front panel. The side sections are gathered and a dainty sash ties at the back. Japanese pongee silk, cotton crepe in floral design, zephyr prints or plain or figured sateen will give unending ser- vice for general wear and will launder bizarre advertisement. Among the applicants for membership in his club he had found the criminal willing to aid bin„ In his furtherance of the desire of Josiah Higgins to defraud his governnhent. . Would the one -eyed man have re- turned the pearl to Higgins Iater on, or would he have delivered it to the White Eagle? Would there have been there were two Englishmen, with honor among these thieves? whom I had struck up a casual ac- quaintance, and to whom I nodded now. And then I saw the third. It was the one -eyed man. We all submitted to a search, We handed over the keys of our baggage to an officer. Half an hour later he returned with the statement that he had searched all our effects and found no trace of the missing pearl. Then one of the Englishment did what I had been wanting to do, He walked over to Higgins. "We've heard your story," he said. "You returned from the concert, you and your wife. She took off her jewels and laid then on a table in her cabin. Sho then went into your cabin, to talk to you. When elle returned to: her own room, five minutes later, the Ranee's Pearl was gone. Some one had opened the door and stolen it," "And it must have been some one i one of the cabins on the corridor," cried Higgins. "That's what you say," said the Englishman. "It doesm't matter to a vulgar beast like you that you intuit your betters. Now, we've all been searched, and now of us has your filthy pearl. I merely want to tell you that I'm glad yeti lost it, and that I hope the loss teaches you and your. Ask me some easier question. Ask me, for instance, what I did when I arrived at niy room in the Regina. I will tell you: I deftly took apart the two halves of the green" glass eye which had been surrendered to me, and I kissed the Ranee's Pearl I had been right in my theory.

The Duke of York more than any of his brothers has a liking for cere- mony, and in that respect resembles 'King Edward more than the Prince of Wales and his two younger broth- ers. But the Duke of York lives as plainly' as this eldest brother, and the meals at 145 Piccadilly are simpler than in many well-off establishments. A four course dinner served at 7.45 p.m. is the custom at 145, but it is a movable feast. Duty or pleasure may detain the Duke and Duchess long after their regular dinner hour. 'And if their dinner is hopelessly spoiled ,they will cheerfully dine off an omelet, saifeages, or anything else that can be quickly prepared. Tradition and custom compel King George to retain the services of a chef whose salary is eighteen hundred a year, together with a staff of four assistant cooks at an average wage of £600 each. One of these assistant cooks eould easily do all the ordin- ary daily cooking required by King George and Queen Mary, but to get rid of the services of the chef and his assistants would be a measure of Freight Rates Ottawa Journal (Cons.): In the matter of transportation Canada can- not eat its cake and have it.
