As the liner Wallaroo sails from Lon- don Ave crates of opium are removed and returned to the Limehouee ware - Mee° of Messrs. King, adjoining that of Jo Lung, one of the biggest "reaoes" In London. Matt Keaeney, correspondent of a New York newspaper: has just said good-bye to his sister Eileen, a pas - ganger. At the request of Detective en- epeetor Dawson Haig, Matt accompanies Norwioti, one of Haig's Scotland yard. men, to Jo Lung's. mitt Ands a note- book dropped by Yuan Hee See, and Norwich is murdered soon sifter leaving Matt. Haig, atone, is puzzled over the cryptic notebook entries relating to the Wallo.roo's, route when a monstrous creature snatches the notebook ami es- capes, Yu'an Hee See, his pretty woman eompanion, Orange Dlossom, and Jo Lung escape in a motor eruiser to the French coast. An entry in the notebook leads Haig to the Restaurant Suleiman Bey In Paris where overhead a gang of cut-throats has gathered to receive orders. As a German is leaving with a Cockney pugnist, he hears the former say he will board the Wallaroo the next day at Marseilles, Eileen Kearney, writ- ing to Haig, tells of a jolly fellow pas - seller named Durham and a clever Aus- trian, Dr, Osstler. NOw GO ON WIT:ti TIUI sTon.r. • CHAPTER XII.—(Cont'cl.) in a small equare room on the ground floor of the house, furnished very simply as an office, Amami Pa- sha sat waiting. To the gang assembled in the Res- taurant Suleiman Bey in Paris he was known as the Chief, but here, in scrup- ulously correct evening dress, he was an Egyptian gentleman of established position. Nevertheless, he watched the door of the room -with a certain nervousness not strictly in keeping with Moslem fatalism. Presently Yu'an Hee See replied in the same language. "You are an hour late. What is the explanation?" Yu'a.. Hee See stood framed in the open doorway, looking at the Egyp- tian, his eyes nearly closed. "It is simple," was the reply. "The pilot made a forced landing but a good one. We were ten miles from Helio- polis—which, I think, explains my de- lay." "It explains it," the reedy voice conceded. "I accept this explanation. I would add that if such accidents occur to others of our company dis- aster lies before us like a gulf which no man can pass." "I have no fears," the Egyptian as- sured him. "Here is the roll, . I can tell you. where every man of the cam- , ?ear* sateeleee -eateereateeeeeeeentX "Or should be," "Some are out of reach, I admit, but with the others we can get in touch if you desire it." "I do not desire it. You are re- sponsible." He raised a plump hand, the pointed index finger curled. "I do not wish to see your report. Tell me that there has been no hitch." "No hitch." "Very good. I am perhaps foolish, but in London everything went wrong. Since. this is our biggest venture,I lhought that the auguries were una- vorable." Across the coarse but handsome fea- tures of the Egyptian a momentary cloud passed, its passage instantly de- tected to those nearly closed eyes of Yu'an Hee SO. "You also have been disturbed?" The voice was very soft but incredibly high. "No, no, Excellency!" Amain/ forced a smile. "One of the men rather alarmed me on the night we met in Paris." "It was the Seoasman? He must be watched," "No, not Media. I distrust him only when he is sober. Also, I have arranged to replace him if necessary. But Kid Brown exchanged words with astanger downstairs in the restaur- ant.""Tell me about this." "He went down with Franz Hartog, aur second engineer, *whom he heel. thrashed for a breach of Orders. And this stranger, except for some Russian idiots, was the only person in the Tea., tauxant. Too late, he reported the mat- ter to me, admitting that he may have been indisereet." There was a momentary silence; then: "Repeat to me," said Yu'an Hee See, "in the man's own words, exactly what he reported to you, including his de- scription of this stranger." * Those desperately drab streets which lead from the docks at Mar- seilles to the more habitable quarters of the city were several inches deep in an unpleasant kind of light yellow mud. The buildings were yellowish grey; the sky was of this muddy com- plexion also. "Simply too unbelievably pig -sty," Eileen declared, as the taxi floundered and thumped through. the inerass. "And Pm really sorry I started," "That's rather mean of you, Eileen," said Jack Rattray, the first officer, smiling his slow smile. "Don't you think so, doctor?" Dr. Oestler, who sat upon the girl's left—the three were packed in- like sardines—patted Eileen's arm sooth- ingly. "At least, Miss Kearney," he said, "it makes a small change. We shall not be ashore again until we reach Pert Said. .-yee Anct, cloee it litatter,trais..trti tee" grey • say I Ha? Presently we shall be convivial with a little cocktail—ha? And it makes a small chan•ge." Eileen turned to him and laughed. The outstanding characteristics of the Austrian doctor,, as she had discover- ed during their short acquaintance, was his astonishing quality of sooth- ing. They presently reached a hotel, turned into the little lounge on the right of the door, and sat down at a table. "Gord Lord !" said Eileen.

"Ha!" cried Dr. Oestler, "It is our Mr. Durham. He is leaving las-- yes?" "Yo," Rattray confirmed, "I should like to have a final with him before I go back to the ship," "He never even said good-bye to me," Eileen corraplained. But Durham had joined thern. now. "Doctor and Mr. Rattray," he said, "I hope you will take a stirrup cup presently. Miss Kearney,—$f your friends can spare you for a moment - 1 have a private message for you. But I shan't detain you more than two minutes," They left the lounge and walked upstairs, to where, upon, a seat in an alcove outside the dining room, a man was waiting. A soft brown hat and a white raincoat lay beside him, "Oh!" Eileen gasped, and clutched Durham's arm. Her face grew sud- denly pale, Then this pallor was swept by a swift eolor. Dawson Haig stood up. "I haven't frightened you, Eileen? I couldn't think of any other way. . When Mr. Franz Hartog came on board the Wallaroo at Marseilles....to take possession of his cabin on D deck (both berths in which had been reserved in. London), through a partly open door across the narrow alleyway Dawson Haig was watching. He saw the tall, blond German whom, with bloody mouth, he had seen coming down the stairs of the Restaurant Suleiman Bey! Unseen, Dawson Haig left his hid- ing place and went up to the captain's room. Captain Peterson was seated at his desk, which was littered with papers. He was badly worried about this voyage. The gold was a big re- sponsibility, in the first place, and now, to his other troubles had—been added this sudden appearance of an official from Scotland Yard. "I was right, Captain," said Daw- son Haig. "It's my man !" The captain smiled resignedly. "It's a complete muddle to me, inspector," he confessed. "Whatever, it all about? If this fellow is a criminal, why don't you arrest him?I shall be glad to be rid of him." "Thank you," said Haig. -1',It.ledie so simple as that, But here*tit..,.festi. tion, reughly: You have ?five Pas - on board the Wallareeolor& 1 suspect With 1.66d reason of members of a dangerous international gang." "Five!" said the skipper, staring under tufted eyebrows. "Have they all come aboard here?" "No. Four joinecryou in London." "Hole smoke! What's afoot, in- spector?" "If I knew that, sir, I should know what I'm here to find out," was Haig's reply. "Certain evidence came into our possession in London which seem- ed to point to the fact that members of a gang of dope dealers, receivers of stolen property, and other unde- sirable trades, were sailing in your ship. The exact nt.mber of the rooms occupied by,them were discovered—" "Got those numbers?" "I am almost certain I have. My list, however, was made from memory. But in a certain. Paris cafe, which we believe to be a meeting place of these people, I recently had a sight of a cer- tain man. Today he has joined the Wallaroo, as a passenger. His room, booked in London, is one of those which I have on the list! I think it's safe to presume, captain, that the other four suspects should be watch- ed?" "I entirely agree with you, inspec- tor." "The French authorities have just notified me," Haig went on, "that three other men—all they could trace —who were present at the restaurant I have mentioned, have all set, out by different routes for the Near East . • . . looks like a. general assembly at some spot unknown. It's my job to find that spot, captain: because if I do find it, I expect to meet there the man who murdered Detective Ser- geant Norwich in Limehouse the night before the Wallaroo sailed. . ." As a result of this conversation, a new passenger joined the ship—only a few minutes before she left Mar- seilles: a certain Mr. Smith, who wore tinted spectacles. Be was allotted a seat at the doctor' t table next to the distinguished Austrian scientist, Di.• Oestler. On the following morning, one Jr the Chinese passengers, Mr. Len Chow, of New York, went to the purser's, office. Be had a serious complaint to lodge. While he had been absent in the bathroom, someone rifled his cabin. He rather thought that his return had interrupted the intruder, as all Orange Pekoe Blend 111 Fresh from the Gardens New Test Combats Carbon Monoxide •••••••.i..•••=t••• Simplifies Dectection of Dan— gerous Fumes in City Streets Few poison gases are more danger- ous than carbon monoxide. Where phosgene and wartime gases have a characteristic color, taste and action which warns everyone of their pre- sence, carbon monoxide is colorless and tasteless. What makes matters worse is that carbon monoxide is given oft in the fumes of motor cars and certain chim- neys when there is incomplete com- bustion. Tests in cities where motor traffic is heavy indicate that carbon monoxide poisoning ca.. and does oc- cur among traffic policemen and other persons who must work on city streets. Science is well aware of the problem and ever seeking more facts about the poisoning, either to build up preventa- tive measures or devise better diag- nostic tests. A new, simple test has just been announced by Dr. A. A. Christman, of the department of physiological chemistry at the 'Univer- sity of Michigan, which has all the ac- curacy of older, more complicated methods, and yet can be made with ap- paratus in the city streets instead of in the laboratory. Dr. Christman's method was announced in "The Jour- nal of Biological Chemistry." Previous methods took much more time to work cut, and involved equip- ment and skill seldom found outside the larger hospitals and college labor- atories. Carbon inonoxide causes asphyxia- tion, not because oxygen cannot be drawn into the lungs with air, but be- cause the gas displaces normal oxygen in the "carrier" cells of the blood and prevents oxygen from being trans- ported about the body. The cells take oxygen going from the lungs and bring back carbon dioxide on the return trip. Oxygen pan. diaplace CO2, but eannot drivts vat carbon moneilde. The re- sult is that one may die of the lack of oxygen just as surely es though the throat were closed. In Dr. Christman'e test the dissolved gases carried by the blood are passed through a solution of pallidium chlo- ride. The resulting compound, when treated with potossiuni iodide, gives a red -colored solution which, by shading 01 the color as compared with a stand- ard color chart, shows the proportion in the original blood sample. — "'How long have you been mar - riser "Long enough to know that 'whenever anything goes wrong at ver house it's my fauit..” First Editions Bring High Price in France Paris.—First editions of nineteenth century and modern French authors from. the collection of the Duchess Sforza, auctioned recently at the Hotel Drouot here, brought high prices, and th,e whole collection realized 850,000 francs (about $52,000).

And in styles they're as refreshing as the first glimpse of green in Central Park. In one collection here about five main types were seen recently— all lively and different. First, there's the bonnet, important this spring for the first time since pre- war days. Katharine Hepburn aided in. bringing it back. But as this de- signer creates it, it's an 1940 bonnet, like Madame Bovary's. Madame Bovary is almost the great- est single millinery influence right now. But other important hats from this designer's collection are the Breton sailor, the bowler, a new beret, and a dashing "desperado" hat, The Breton sailor, which turns up all around, she makes in straw or stitched straw cloth. Sometimes she faces the brim with bright imported silk. Then it is worn with a matching scarf, which ties saucily in front. The bowler is a little hat of the Eng- lish type, very shallow and small; sometimes tilted over one eye. It ex - Poses one entire side of the hair, This designer makes it in dark straw to wear with suits, and also in white pique, for wear with pique -trimmed evening dresses. Each season the beret comes back with a new trick. This spring it's a "windblown" straw. Fish Cook Book Prepared For Canadian Housewives The fisheries of Canada constitute a very important industry to whicb a surprising number of other indus- tries are contributory. If Canadians could be persuaded to eat more fish the effect on trade would be widely felt, With this object in view the Government periodically proclaims a "Fish Week," calling attention to the value of fish as a food. Canadians desiring to obtain. an authoritative booklet on fish cookery may now re- ceive one, without charge, by writ- ing to the Department of Fisheries, Ottawa, and asking for a copy of "Fish and How to Cook It." As the booklet is available both in English and French editions applications should state which language is desir- ed. Letters of application addressL ed to the department do not require postage. "Fish and How to Cook It," which has been prepared under the direction of the department's specialist in fish cookery, is designed, primarily, to meet tele requirements of the average Canadian household. Gold in Central Banks During 1933 as a whole, gold in the U.S. Federal Reserve increased $396,- 430,000; in the Bank of England, $346,- 223,000; The Bank of France lost $242,000,000, the German Reichsbank $97,218,000. Some Favorable Factors Seen Europe Has Made Definite il Limited Progress Towards Recovery London—In Europe some progress towards recovery has certainly been made during 1933. What the world has been working for during the past year is the attainment of a beter but economically justified prlce level.- The prosperity, both of Great Britain and of the rest of Europe, is hound up with revival of international trade, and the four main objects for which this coun- try- is working to cbtain it are (1) a rise in wholesale prices, to secure which the British Government consid- ers that control of production is the most certain and rapid remedy; (2) removal or lowering of oppressive. trade barriers, which the government thinks will follow a restoration of the stability of currencies; (8) establish- ment of au international monetary standard commanding general confi- dence, such as can only be given by. gold, and (4) resumption of interna- tional lending. At present the conditions do not exist which would enable Great Bri- tain to return to the gold. standard,' and th) resumption of international lending is impossible so long as the Present fears for the- safety of capital exist. But there are, nevertheless, signs that all countries are beginning to think a little more internationally. There is some hope that before long a reconsideration of tariffs will be pos- sible and, that being the case, restora- tion of currency stability looms in the distance; because the one is regarded as a necessary preliminary to the other.
