CHADWICK LAST WEEK: Jim prepares to leave to salvage the Sonora. Jef- fery Hammond comes on board his boat, the Aurora, and tells Jim to radio him when the pre- liminary work is completed. Also, he advises Jim that Lois and he may take a cruise in the Ham- mond yacht to watch operations. Then Mary Larsen comes aboard. She tells Jim he was right—Eric Forbes is taking her to New York. Jim gathers Mary in his arms, kisses her and tells her he loves her. "Enough to tell me about the Sonora?" she asks. Jim, in rage, orders her off the boat, feeling she was simply pumping for information. As Jim goes up on deck, a tall, lean man of the cacreful voice—the man who has been trying to bribe him --walks up the gangplank. He tells Jim he wants just a few words he's willing to pay for. MYSTEROUS SHELLING CHAPTER VIII Jim Mallory eyed the visitor with unconcealed bad humor. He wondered if this was the fellow who had been with Eric Forbes Sunday night. IIe wasn't sure. The man wore a white tropical suit that was well tailored. He clad brown curly hair, blue eyes, sun -browned skin. He was about thirty. He could, Jim thought, pass for a gentleman but there was an intangible hint of tough- ness about him. Jim said, "Keep your money, mister, and get off my ship." "Mallory, I have $5,000 on ore. I can raise $20,000 more. It's yours if you say the word." That was a jolt. Jinn felt men- tally rocked under its impact. That much money was a lot of money. It was so much money it couldn't be honest money, * * "Mister, just keep talking, If you talk enough, maybe I will listen." "Money talks better than I do, Mallory," said the man in his careful way. He brought out a wallet, showed Jim its contents of $100 -bills. "Will you listen to that?" "And all I have to do for $25,000," Jim said, "is to tell you the Sonora's location?" "That, and break your contract with Jeffery Hammond. Your ship is ready to sail. You might take a trip to South America." "Does this money conte frons. Eric Forbes?" "Does it matter where it comes from?" "That's not answering my ques- tion." "Forbes" said the carefu'1 voice, "never saw this money." Which, Jin. reflected, could be a lie. Aloud he said, "And if $ don't take you up, mister?" The man shrugged. "I told you once that you'd deal with ore or have trouble. I'm a patient man, Mallory, but this is my last offer." His voice was low, as careful is ever, but Jim had no illusions about him. If this man promised trouble, there'd be trouble. "I gave Hammond my word, mister, and 1 never break my word." "I was afraid o` that." "And anv trouble you've got, I'll handle." The man shrugged again, closed his wallet and returned it td his pocket. A faint smile curled his lies, and above the smile his eyes turned chill end dangerous. "Well, I'll be seeing you, Mallory baby." And he went ashore. Curly Bates carne on deck from the engine room. Jim .said, "See where that fellow goes, Curly. Find out what you can about him." "Is it the guy with the money?" "The guy with a lot of money," Jim said. Aud Curly started down the gangplank, his eyes on the roan in white, Curly got back to the Aurora shortly after six. He shook his head glumly. "He walked down Collins Avenue a long ways," he said. "Then back again. He went into a bar. I waited awhile, then went in. He must have gone out another door. He must have known I was following him." Jim nodded. "Yes, he's smart. And tough. He's going to make trouble for us, Curly. The sooner we sail the better." * * ' ;< The Caribbean was a crystal blue under the blazing tropic sun. The sea was calm, and every- thing peaceful, when the Aurora dropped an anchor from above the Sonora's resting place. It was hard to imagine that any- thing could happen there. It was illogical to ` think that .any other boat could find the posi- tion. The Sonora lay riles from where its crew had said she went down. Jim got into a rubber suit and went down that first afternoon, not to work but to look over the job. The depth was great for a rubber suit. When he felt the ship's deck under the leaden shoes he worried a little about the pressure. It was dark down there, an eerie greenish darkness, and the ship was merely a vague black bulk. He talked over the telephone, asking for more pies.. sure and for an underwater lamp. When the lamp came down on a line, he moved along the deck. Movement was difficult, for the deck slanted sharply to starboard, and the current was strong. Jim had landed on the foredeck and, after examining the foreward hold hatches, he directed his light on the bridge. What he saw told him why the Sonora's captain and first officer had been lost. The bridge was wrecked, quite thor- oughly wrecked, and the twisted remains .were charred and blist- ered as if by fire. Or an ex- plosion. Curly's voice came floating down. "Better not stay down too long, Spike."

He had the usual head- ache. Blacksheep came in with a cup of black coffee, He said, "It's plenty deep down there, err, Spike suit?" "Plenty deep." "You be careful, boss, I seen a shark hoverin' about a°ready, an' a shark's a bad omen." Jim laughed and drank the coffee. Curly came in, sat down and lit his pipe. "What do you think, Spike?" "It'll be easy," Jim replied. "I'll go down in a metal suit tomorrow, take a torch and cut the cargo hatches a lot bigger, Once that's done we can run the buckets down from the Aurora's winch." "What do we do with the man- ganese once we start bringing it up?" . "Hammond is sending a freigh- ter out as soon as I radio him." "Then everybody will know our position." "Sure. But what does it mat- ter? We're here, and nobody's going to chase us off." * * „ Curly nodded, fell silent and smoked. Finally, he said, "Spike, what's on that ship besides manganese?" "I don't know—yet," Jim said. "Curly, I didn't tell you, but the Sonora was sunk by gunfire. She's full of shell holes. ` What do you make of that?" "You tell me," Curly said, and loked startled. "There are a lot of queer an- gles to this," Jim said. "Ham- mond didn't want her salvaged, nor did Eric Forbes. The crew, mostly West Indies riff-raff. was hustled aboard another Hammond ship heading for China. Maybe so they wouldn't talk. They did lie, telling the Coast Guard the ship went down in a storm. Then there's that girl, Mary Larsen, wanting to know the Senora's position—and the careful talker with his money wanting the salve thing. Yes, Curly, there's some- thing on the Sonora!" (Continued Next Week) Fire Extinguisher Scores Bullseye Second Lieut. Noel A. Wright of the United States Army Air Corps asked for a new fire ex- tinguisher for his bomber, His fellow crew members told why. Wright, they said, was serving as the navigator on a recent bombing mission over the New Guinea invasion area. His assign- ment also placed him in charge of the plane's camera and fire extinguisher. When the pilot brought the bomber within five thousand feet of an enemy transport, Wright could restrain himself no longer. He yanked out his .45 automatic and emptied it at the enemy ves- sel. Then he grabbed the fire extinguisher and flung it over. board. The bomber's crew said the ex- tinguisher scored "a direct hit." Robin's Diet An experiment with robins kept in captivity showed that they ate sixty-eight .earthworm a day. If these worms had been placed end to end, the line would have been fourteen feet long.. Each bird ate forty-one per cent. more than its own weight In twelve hours. 11 an average man ate that much in proportion to his weight, he would eat over two hundred pounds of meat a day and drink five or six gallons of water, writes John Y. Beaty in his fascinating book, "Nature Is Stranger Than Fiction," TABLE T By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Honey as a Substitute For Sugar As we are all asked to be on sugar rations, there should be no lamenting for we still have mar- vellous substitutes in corn syrup, maple syrup and honey. Before the introduction of cane sugar, honey was apparently the most eoni.tnon sweet available for human consumption. Honey is the nectar of flowers -gathered by honeybees and ripen- ed by then within their hives. The ripening process consists of evap- orating the excess moisture from the nectar and certain changes in the chemical nature of the sugar it contains. SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER 1. Measure honey always in liquid form. 2. For every cup of honey used, reduce the liquid called for in a recipe by one-fifth. 3. One cup of honey is as great in sweetening power as one cup of sugar. 4. Use ?4, to '/ teaspoon of soda to each cup of honey, 5. Increase the amount of salt by ?s to la teaspoon. 5. In 'milk puiddings or pie fill- ings add the honey with the thick- ening agent. if you wish to have honey in- dispensable in your cooking try these recipes.

Russia To Fight Battle For Food Men, Women and Children Must Work in the Fields Russia has mobilized 150,000,000 men, women and children to fight the summer's battle for food. Attacking the food supply liues as realistically as they treated the factories, calling upon workers to remain at their jobs in time oh war, the Peoples' Commissars de- creed: Collective farmers must work a minimum of 102 to 150 working days this season. Children from 14 to 16 must work in the fields 50 days a year. City high schools must be sus- pended so students can lend a hand. The sweeping decree affects all males from 14 to 55 and all wo- men from 14 to 50 not already in war work. Exceptions are such women and young girls deemed unfit for work. Persons mobilized from the cities will be fed, sheltered, and paid' at prevailing collective farm rates. The decree supersedes one which required a minimum of 50 farm working days a year. Children will bare a limited work day, from six to eight hours. But there is no limit on the num- ber of days an adult may work. During the last harvest, with the Germans advancing, the Russian farmers worked day and night. It is to be assumed that if necessary the same will he true this year. Violation of the decree is pun- ishable b,, six months of forced farm labor and fines of 25 per cent of earnings. Penalties else will include 10:,4s of collective farm ad- vantages, wlai::la include 1111 indi- vidual ::trip. of land. Must Treat Colored Cottons With Care The dyes that are most scarce are those that make fast color -- a type of dye that goes by the incredible name of "Anthragain- oid Vat." Cotton fabrics manu- factured before. the shortage was felt are lavishly dyed in all col- ors; many have color -fast labels. The new fabric, will probably be less brilliant and have a limited range. Where fast dyes are used, prints will be small or sparingly spaced to save the dyes. When there as no color -fast label, treat your colored cottons tenderly. Before washing soak them in a solution of about a cup of vinegar to a gallon of water for. 20 min- utes. For (lark blues and blacks, a solution of salt and water is better. 'Then leash them quickly in rich suds vhich rinse oat the dirt without hard rubbing or Scrubbing and so make clothes last longer. And .remember that col- ored cottons- such as these should not only be waehed quickly, brat dried quickly, The churtilaa d .Nystem of mit- i-1311i;a: Leen traced back to the yen 3 l3C, • Girls Can Make Their Own. Jewelry A group of girls in a college near my home have decided that they will have costume jewelry to wear no matter how expensive it may become "for the duration." They are making it themselves, the material they use being string! They collect it and their friends collect it for them. For bracelets they crochet it into broad, or narrow, bands, On these, to simulate jewels, they em- broider raised stars in different colors, allowing one color to pre- dominate if the piece is to har- monize with any particular outfit. For brooches they cut designs from cardboard, cover them with string, "jewel" them, and fit them with safety pins. For necklaces, two ropes of spool -knit string are formed into circles, one smaller than the other, and from each is suspended a row of string -covered and "jeweled" discs. One girl even completed her set with a ring. She fastened togeth- er an oval of cardboard and a double twist of heavy wire (taken from a milk bottle), covered the whole with string and "jeweled" the top. She said, laughingly, "This is one way to get the cos- tume jewelry we want these days."—M. G. G. in Christian Science Monitor. U.S. Sallors Take Course In Britain A large group of Americans is in Britain taking a course in how to defend merchant ships against aerial and U-boat attacks, The course was organized by the British Navy and was founded on the experiences of two and one-half years of sea war. The Americans will return to the United States after complet- ing the course and their know- ledge will be the basis of defence of American merchant ships.
