CHADWICK LAST WEEK: Jim Mallory ar- rives at the Hammond mansion to find Jeffrey Hammond in Mi- ami on business and his daugh- ter Lois aligned to entertain him. $lie overhears Lois and some friends talk about him. They picture him as a disagreeable per- son because of his salvage work. When Jim enters the room, they are surprised, especially Lois Hammond and Mary Larsen, whom he learns is Mr. Hammond's secretary. Lois plays up to him and asks him to dance. He not- ices Mary watching them with a twisted and bitter smile on her lips. BOMBSHELL HITS HOME CHAPTER IV Jeffery Hammond returned to his home shortly before midnight. Jim Mallory, summoned to his host's study, faced a distinguished looking man of about fifty-five. They shook hands. Hammond's eyes were troubled. Jim, remem- bered hearing the man was some- thing of an invalid. Hammond sat down at his desk, and said, "Sorry I wasn't here when you arrived, Mallory. I was called to the office. Mac- kay Radio reported picking up an SOS front a Hammond ship." "That's quite all right, sir," Jim Mallory said. Ile was aware of several things: that the Hammond Lines seemed to have much trou- ble of late, that Hammond's sec- retary, Mary Larsen, was at the other desk at the far end of the room, and that though the girl was busy writing she could be just as busy listening to this eon- versation. Hammond said, "I've been con- sidering your several communica- tions, M a 11 o r y, concerning the freighter Sonora which went down in the Caribbean some months ago. You've located the ship, and you'd like to salvage her cargo." • "That's it, sir. I think the job would pay. I first contacted your New York office, meaning . to deal with the insurance comp- any, but I was informed the cargo had not been insured." "Quite right. There was a slip- up in the office. The cargo should have been insured. But I e iu't agree that salvaging would pay. The cargo was manganese, and ore is always difficult to salvage. Besides, the Sonora lies at eighty fathoms and divers can't work at that depth." "She lies at forty fathoms, Mr, • Hammond, not eighty." "But the Coast Guard took a sounding." "The Coast Guard took a sound- ing at the spot where the Son- ora's crew said she went down. She doesn't lie there, but several miles away." '"Perhaps the crew was mis- taken. After all, the men must have been rattled. They were caught in a hurricane, and the SCG11P5 thof. ;Ally MAIL ISSUE 15—'42 1) captain and his first officer were lost." 8 * * Jim Mallory made a slow thing of lighting a cigarette. He stole a glance at the girl; obviously she was all ears. He looked back at his host; it was as obvious that Hammond was uneasy. His face was somewhat haggard by illness, but illness didn't wholly explain the worry in his eyes. "By the way, Mallory," Ham- mond said,- "did you go down to the ship?" Jim. Mallory saw Mary Larsen's head come up. He said, "Yes." And he saw Hammond frown. You could feel a mystery here, he told himself. Ha.tumond's voice was casual, asking, "Was she badly damag- ed?" "1: wasn't down long, sir," Jint Mallory answered. He admitted nothing, and that was no lie. He wasn't telling all he knew. He wasn't, for example, telling that he had seen .holes in the Sonora's hull—holes that could have been put there, not by a storm, but by gunfire. He saw something like relief in. Hammond's worried eyes. "I'll think this over," Ham- mond. said. "Tomorrow we'll put it up to Eric Forbes, my general manager, who is flying down from New York. If we like your proposition, we'll certainly come to terms with you. Now if you don't mind. ." He rose and carne front behind the desk. "I'll turn in. Doctor's orders, you know."- - Jim Mallory said, "Good night, sir." After Hammond had left the room he walked over to Mary's desk, "You left the party early. You must have pressing work, to be at it at midnight." "I keep irregular hours — Spike," she said, venom in her voice. She shoved the papers she had been working on into a drawer, slammed the drawer and rose. "You are very smart, Mr. Mallory. Or should I say fresh?" "You're rather clever yourself," he said. "Pretending to work so you could hear what was said here tonight. Do you make a habit of spying on your boss?" That got her, as he knew it would. He saw quick alarm in her eyes. She retorted, "I'm not planning to blackmail him—as you are." And she started to turn away to leave the room, but he caught her arm and held her. "What do you mean by that?" "As if you didn't know. A blind person could see through you, Even Mr. Hammond knows what you're up to, You don't want to salvage that ship, You want him to pay you not to salvage it." "I don't get you. I really don't get you." "You know," she said, her voice lowering to a whisper, "that Mr. Hammond doesn't want that ship salvaged or even located. You know he doesn't want to have anything to do with it." Ho eyed her calmly enough, but he was excited. He said, - "Maybe you and •I could work to- gether. What do you say"?" He wanted to find out what she was up to. She puzzled him. "Maybe," she said. "And may- be not." She twisted her arm from his grasp and left the room hurriedly. * * Eric Forbes arrived at noon the next day. He was a dark- ly handsome man. He WAR the typical young executive, brisk of speech. and movement, self-con- fident, aggressive. Jim Mallory met him after spending the morn- ing with Lois Hammond, He was in. the study with Ham- mond, and:Tory Larsen was there too, typing at her desk. Jim had known she would be. there. Erie. Forbes said at once, "111r. Hammond has outlined yotir idea, Mallory, I'Iowever, it sterna Pike Another dessert you'll like is Krispies Cream Shortcake.

Thanks to the goddess of gratin, Sunday's roast can be converted into a Monday dinner that makes the first day of the week something to remember: Monday Supper Dish 2 cups peas 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cups cooked diced meat 2 tablespoons butter 4 cups oven popped rice cereal 2 cups sliced anion 3 cups chopped celery 2 tablespoons fat 2 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 cups tomatoes Cook onion and celery in fat until lightly browned.

I take it you'd want the company to put up some money on this—this gamble." "It isn't a gamble," Jim said. "It's a sure thing. But that was my idea. I'm not financially able to handle the job alone." "Ore is hard to salvage. You might- have all sorts of trouble. We know nothing about your company. • Your- equipment might not be what it should be." Jim Mallory didn't reply to that. He knew Eric Forbes was hedging. He looked at Jeffery Hammond, saw that the older man was leaving the matter to his general manager. There was, he thought, something queer here. "I'll make you an offer, how- ever," Forbes said. "We may want to salvage later, through another company. We know you've gone to some expense in time and money in the matter so we'll offer you $2000 for the Sonora's loca- tion and a quit -claim for your salvage intentions. What do you say?" A slow smile came to Jim Niel- lory's lips. He :was forcibly aware of Eric Forbes' eagerness behind the casualness of his manner. He was aware also of Hamnmond's tenseness — and of the silence from Mary Larsen's typewriter. They wanted him out of this, wanted him out of it badly. But he didn't want to get out of it, not even for $2000. He said, his voice lazy, "Maybe I'na more adventurer than busi- nessman, gentlemen, but I'd like to salvage the Sonora—on my own if you won't go in with me. I think the job is worth my while." He paused, readying a bomb- shell for them. "In fact, I'm sure of 'it. And I'm not the only one sure of it. Did you know, gentle- men, that there is a boat working out of Havana searching for the Sonora?" He was amused to see his bomb- shell hit home. (Continued Next Week) Conchies to B.C.

CHAMBERS Pineapple Delicious With its rich source of vita- mins pineapple is an ideal choice of fruits to inlude in our diet, when feeling a bit logged after partaking too freely of proteins. As a cocktail, diced pineapple and chopped maraschino cherries make a grand combination or you may try diced pineapple and orange sections with a dash of honey. If you favor the flavor of mint place an after-dinner mint in the bottom of each glass before adding the fruit. Allow to chill for an hour or so, garn- ish with fresh mint and serve. Pineapple is a delightful addi- tion to fish. salads, such as shrimp, lobster, crab meat and tuna; while pineapple chicken salad is always a favorite. A good combination is made with 'one cup each of fresh diced pineapple, chopped celery, shred- ded chicken and one-fourth cup of chopped ripe olives. Salt to taste and blend ingredients with mayonnaise. Serve in crisp let- tuce cups with a garnish of pim- ento strips. A combination of pineapple, grapefruit and apricot makes an- other delectable salad. Place slices of tender cooked pineapple on crisp lettuce and build wedges of grapefruit sections around the pineapple. Place half an apricot, hollow side up, in the centre and fill with chopped celery and dates. A fruit juice French salad dressing is delicious with this.

Warehouse cats, guarding the stocks of essential foods against the ravages of rats and nice, are now allowed a priority supply of powdered milk. This milk, which has been damaged in transit and is therefore unfit for human con- sumption also goes to animal hos- pitals, "Ration Books" for cats are issued to warehouse keepers. The concession is applicable, first to cats kept for the destruction of vermin in. warehouses in which at least 250 tons (250,000 kgms.) of food or feeding stuffs are stored, and secondly to veterinary hospitals and similar institutions for the feeding of sick animals. Many hospitals in Britain keep a regular staff as guard against • mice. Warehouses are supplied by Our Dumb Friends' League with cats suitable for guarding stores of food. The League has taken on the task of looking after cats bombed . out of their homes. The percentage of deaths of cats and other domestic animals actually killed by bombs during the heavy raids on Britain is very low indeed. Like dogs, cats are keen to scent danger, and it is believed that their intuition has helped many people to escape injury from bombs, Eating Wild Birds In Great Britain Sparrows, starlings, crows, larks, curlews and even swans— some of them counte,i inedible in peace times or too small to bother with—are helping to feed Britain at war. • Wild birds of all kinds are com- ing to big markets because of the hard winter and all are finding buyers. Swans, ranging from 15 to 20 pounds, are bringing prices equal to front $1.20 to $3.80 despite their toughness,. though cygnets (young swans) have a flavor like goose. Sparrows, which have appeared many times in British culinary history, now find a ready market at twelve for 20 cents. Plovers and wood pigeone sell for the equivalent of 50 cents; moor hens, 15 cents; larks, 10 cents, and starlings seven. Some crows sell for 15 e.ente each, though only the breasts are edible. Curlews sell for 15 cents, despite the strong fish flavor and tough flash. Snipe are a luxury at -10 cents. 6, Staying as` F s'TELS Modern, Fireproof, Conveniently locat,d, easy Parking as low us no higher thann2Sa per person FOR MAP at FOtDCR, wraa FORD sono co, Montreal 3210 t0 5.is9 mor n r l petpersaf, No,higher! 400 to frel 'iiimt with
