ed to a nearby taxi stand and en-
- gaged a cab. The rear curtain was
down against the sun. As they pull-
ed away from the curb, Egypt turn-

curtain and looked out behind.

"Horn," he said, a moment later,
"Another taxi seems to be following
1.1.5. But it may be just .coincidence.
Tell our driver to turn at the next
corner."
A few seconds after they made the
turn in answer to Milligan's crisp
order, Egypt nodded.
"Still after us. Tell, the driver
to wander around the next few cor-
ners."
"I don't like this!" Milligan ex-
claimed, after he had given the or-
der. "Why should anyone follow us
at this particular time?"
"That," said Egypt casually, "does
not really natter as long as he's fol-
lowing, does it? Tell the driver to
turn the next corner and stop in the
middle of the block."
Egypt turned from the window. As
the taxicab swung arourial the cor-
ner, he opened the door and leaned.
out.
"What are you going to do?" Mil-
ligan called after him.
But Egypt only grinned and wav-
ed them to go on.
Carewe said approvingly, "He's a
fast worker;"
Egypt was on the curb when the
green and white taxi he had been
watching swerved around the collier.
He stepped out into the street and
swung onto the running board. Ig-
noring the angry protests of the driv-
er, he opened the rear door and slip-
ped inside.
The driver slowed clown abruptly,
demanded hctle through the open
glass slide at his shoulder, "what's
the idea, mister?"
"Pull over to the curb and stop,"
Egypt ordered. "Police business."
The driver wilted abruptly. "I
Haven't done anything!" he protested
as 'he swung the taxi in to the curb.
Egypt paid no attention as he fa-
ced the passenger, a slim, dapper,
pinch -shouldered yoang man with
lean cheeks, a line of black mus-
tache across his upper lip, and keen
darting eyes beneath the downturned
brim of a gray fele hat.
"Nice day," said Egypt amiably.
"I don't believe we've met before
brother."
The other leaned forward, his face
reddening. His voice shook with an-
ger.
"Who . asked you to jump in my
cab, mister, and give orders to my
driver? Get out!"
"Now, now," Egypt soothed.
"Don't get excited."
The driver was looking back at
them. "Didn't you hear him say it
was police business, mister?" he ask-
ed his fare.
"I heard hint! But I don't believe
him! Make hint show his badge!"
"Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Let's
see your badge," the driver demand-
ed briskly.
"Where did you pick this lean up?"
Egypt countered.'
"At the Corcoran Building."
"Odd, isn't it? I just left there
a few minutes ago. Where was be
going?"
The driver wet his lips, seemed
suddenly embarrasseel. "I reckon
that's his business," he inulnbled.
"He told you to follow the taxi
that pulled out ahead of you, didn't
he?" Egypt snapped.
The driver shrugged and did not
answer.
"I told him to take me to the Elea
barcadero!" said the dapper young
znan angrily.
Egypt speared the driver with a
cold glance. "And you turned ail
those corners to get to the Embar-
cedero? Do I look like a fool?"
"There ain't_ no law against driv-
ing anywhere," the driver said de-
fiantly.
Egypt's left hand suddenly shot
out and grabbed the coat lapels of
the dapper young passenger. His
voice grew steely hard.
"Come on! What's your name be-
fore I drag you out of here and slap
a charge against you?'
The young man swore at hint and
tried to knock his hand away. "My
name's none of your business! I'll
have you broken for this -•--:f you
are a dick!"
"Help yourself," Egypt invited.
"Let's see what you've got in your
pockets to identify you."
He jerked the fellow towar,i hila,
thrust his hand inside his coat where
letter's and papers are most often
found, One unsealed envelope, ad-
dressed to Henry Brown, carried the
return address of the Hotel Contin-
ental. Egypt opened it, found a hotel
bill for a week's room rent.
Just then the door opened, Carewe
looked in. '
"Anything I eau do to help ?" he
inquired.
Egypt grinned. "I was "asking our
friend, Mr. Brown. some questions.
Show elle driver your badge before
he has a fainting spell, He doesn't
know whether to call a coli or not."
Carewe palmed iris badge briefly.
1tI'l1 report you for this!" cried
Brown, "I'll have your badge bE lore
night! You can't treat 'an ', nocent
citizen this way!" v
Egypt returned the hotel hili to
Wm. "Get out!" he said coldly.
"I won't! This is my ckab! I haven't.
done anything!"
"Get out!" Egypt repeated.
fore 'you find yourself jerked down
to headquarters on suspicion. if you
are going to the Drnbareadero, -get
yourself another taxi."
Brown sputtered incoherently for
a moment, then sullenly handed the
driver a bill, stepped out, slammed
the door and stalked across the
street.
As the taxi drove away, Carewe
saisi slowly, "You took a chance
t'^ere. That fellow might have been
all .'fight."
"Do you think - so after a good
look at him?"
Careen shook his head.
"Hardly," he confessed.
"Same here. He wouldn't have
been following us If he was straight.
I'd put a tail on him right, away.
Henry Brown - at the Hotel Contin-
ental." .
I'll do that," Carewe decided.
There was a drug store just ahead
of then. He stepped into a tele-
phone
elephone booth.
"They put two men on !aim," he
said briefly when he came out.
Their taxi was still at the curb,
Milligan impatiently waiting inside,
As they proceeded on their way,' he
listened silently to Egypt's 'account.
"Ever see that man before, "Care -
we?" Egypt ase• -ed.
Carewe shook his head. "Been try-
ing to think, He's a new one on me.
What do you think about it?"
Egypt grinned slightly.
"I think," he said deliberately,
"that we'll Lear more of him. The
vultures are flocking to the feast."

The Port' Artliur News-Ghroiiiele
writes. Those who realize that --hot
sunshine means the evaporation ot
moisture from the earth and that this
moisture lies suspended in the air to
return again as rain, fail • to Under-
stand, at times, why there are such
things as the drought which this year.
affected large sections of the North
American continent.
It is difficult to conceive that water.
could be taken at a time with none of
it returning, even in the hours that
are cool, providing the lower temper
ature which is supposed to condense,.
the moisture into rain.
An answer in part is, perhaps,: to be!
found in Great Britain. That: reel` y'r
is tbis year suffering difficulties with'
its crops but they are not the- same'
sort as in Canada and the. _'United
States.
Those who have traveled recently
through the rural areas of Great .Bri-
tain have looked with deep concern
upon the condition of the meadows. it
has been no uncominon sight, they tell
to observe haycocks, lying in. pools of
water, and whole fields of grain bat—
tered by the heavy^rains beyond all
hope of conversion into nutritious hay.
Muck cut grass has even been: burned
as it was considered unprofitbie to
cart and stack it:-lf muck of what re-
mains uncut is ultimately harvested,
is feeding value will be heavily .irnpov--
erished.
That makes a picture altogether at
variance with• that on this continent
where fields have been burned yellow
because of lack of moisture, The whole
offers a pointed commentary on the
action taken in some sections of the
North American continent to regulate
production by refusing to, feed,"plow,
ing under or burning crops. It points
to the belief of some -that nature al-
ways averages up and that it ought
not to ba- interfered with..
At any rate one of the comments
from Britain is that because of the de-
veloping live stock industry increasing
the 'demand for hay and the wet wea-
ther reducing the supply a call must
be sent to Canada for the fodder,
It•,is to be hoped that when the sta-
tistics regarding crops are compiled
they will show Canada in a position
to supply this overseas demand,

C.N.E. Winner Has a Glad Day
Mrs. F, I3. Fordham of 44 Lamb'
ton Avenue, Mount Dennis, Toronto,
is becoming very well-kown as a
prize winner at the Toronto Exhibi-
tion. She has won over a hundred
prizes during the last decade with
her jams, jellies and cakes, and this
year, the day on which the prize
list was announced and Mrs. Ford-
ham's name was prominent in sev-
eral entries, she was advised that she
was grandmother to •a new baby girl.
It was a proud day for Mrs. Feed -
ham, She won prizes for Red
Currant. Jelly and for Raspeerry
Jani, among others, and in speaking
to the Press, Mrs. Fordham gave
credit to bottled fruit pectin, the
use of which, she says, has helped
her to win prizes for jellies and
jams every year.
Now she is looking forward to
using the short boil method for
peach and grape jani and jellies.
This bottled fruit pectin method
makes the fruit go so much farther,
which is of interest and value to all
women this year when the drought
made some of the earlier fruits
scarcer.
Peach jam is a delicious concoc-
tion and so simple to make. As
well as for general use at breakfast
and tea time, it makes wonderrui
filling for layer cakes made with
sifted cake flour. This is a popular
recipe.
Ripe Peach Jam
Seven ' and one-half cups (3 1-4
lbs.) sugar.; four cups (2 lbs.) pre-
pared fruit; one bottle fruit pectin.
To prepare fruit, peel about three
pounds fully ripe peaches. Pit and
grind or chop very fine. If peaches.
lack flavor or tartness, add juice
of one lemon. Measure sugar and
prepared fruit, tightly packed, into
large kettle, mix well, and bring to
a full rolling boil over hottest fire.
Stir constantly before and while
boiling. Boil hard one minute. Re-
move kettle from fire and stir in
fruit pectin, Then stir and skim by
turns for just five minutes to cool
jam slightly, to prevent floating
fruit. Pour quickly, Paraffin and
cover at once. Makes about eleven
glasses (six fluid ounces each).
This Wek's Winner
2 large carrots
4 white onions
4 large reel sweet peppers
4 large green sweet peppers
1 small head cabbage
1-4 cup salt.
3 cups vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1-8 teaspoon red pepper
Peel onions and carrots; seed pep-
pers; chop carrots, onions, peppers
and cabbage very finely (chopping
is preferable to grinding): Add salt
to mixture and allow to stand 3
hours. Drain well. Add vinegar,
sugar, celery seed, mustard seed
and red pepper. Mix ingredients
well. Pack them into jars. Cover
well with the vinegar. If there is
more liquid than ne. ecsery pour off
the surplus. Seal jars. — Mr's, 11.
