Icing, adjoining that of Jo Lung, ene of the biggest "fences" in London, Ntatt Kearney, correspondent of a New York newspaper, has just said good-bye to his sister Eileen, a passenger. At the request .of Detective Inspector 'Haig, Matt accompanies Norwich, one of Hang's Scotland Yard men, to Jo Lung's. Aatt finds a notebook dropped by Yuan Kee See, and Norwich is murdered soon If ter leaving •latt. The notebook is stolen from Haig and Yuan and Jo Lung escape to Paris. An entry In the note- book leads Haig to the Restaurant Sulei- man ley in Paris. As a German is leaving, Haig overhears him saying he Will board the Wallaroo the . next day t Marseilles. Haig boards the Wal- Iaroo at Marseilles as Mr. Smith and tries to decipher wireless messages •ent and received by a Dr, Oestlert Miss Ed - Dam and Len Chow.

He could find neo parallel, amongst the ship's com- pany, to the strange names employed. And he had come to the conclusion that it related to something taking place elsewhere. Evidently, Dr. Oest- er was a sort of chief of staff; his but -going messages took the form of 'inquiries as to the whereabouts of tertain persons, and the replies pre rumably contained the desired infer - nation, which, however, conveyed sothinggat all to Dawson Haig. These messages were sent to a tele- graphic address in Paris which he lad no means of tracing. It was all very maddening, because >ne fact emerged from all this mysti- Geatiour—a fact which refused to be ienied: This complicated conspiracy had nothing to do with drug running. That mterprise had been merely a side line, rbandoned at the first hint of danger. What then did it mean? He thought of that hurried reinovaI of the crates from Birmingham—the mates which almost certainly had been !n charge of Mr. Len Chew. Dawson Haig sat, his head resting open one up -raised hand for five minutes -for ten minutes ... thinking hard very hard. How had Jo Lung, or the man of whom Jo Lung was merely a creature, learned of the instructions sent to Sydney? They had been sent from the Yard in code to the Chief Cus- toms officer. Haig suddenly stood up. ."By Hea- vens!" he • whispered. "They can't - _ have hmoven---they can't have known! It was a definite change of plan on the part of the gang. They removed their lerecious consignment because . Because of what? * x•* The night train from Cairo to As- uan pulled into the station at Keneh. Only two first-class passengers alight- ed there, a roan and a woman, an ex- traordinarily petite, a small, very slender woman, The woman shivered as they entered a saloon car which awaited then in charge of a Nubian chauffeur and groom, magnificent figures in their smart uniforms. "Yeti shiver, tittle one," said Yu'an Hee See. The woman .eared against him. "I am se cold, Yu'an," she explained. "In two days you will be in your own apartments — amongst your scents and jewels. and those other toys you love, with service and warmth, and those treasures amid which I delight -Et see you playing." He stroked '_ler slender knee with a phnnr, tapering hand, and his words came as a high croon. While the car passed swiftly, and almost silently, along an unevenly paved street in which were lighted cafes, above then a tawdry gaiety glimpsed through open windows. Where a large mosque grotesquely broke the continuity of these houses, they swung into a narrow side turn- ing. The driver skirted one high wall of the mosque, cable into the very shadow of the minaret, and turned left again. Through an unpaved lane run- ning parallel and behind the rowdy street they proceeded, slowly now. Twenty yards akmg, they pulled up. The Nubian groom deftly unrolled a length of carpet across the muddy path to a gate which was suddenly opened in an .otherwise blank wall. An old Arab, black robed and white turbaned, stood there, holding a lan- tern high above his head. Its yellow might fell upon a wrinkled face which had earned far its owner the title of Father of Cunning. Yu'an Hee See and the woman passed across ,a roughly paved one/ - yard. Light Barone out from monis on the ground floor, and there was an outer staircase leading up to a bl- cony illuminated by two fine lattice windows. One would, have judged, and judged correctly, that this was an old Arab Malnsion, dating no doubt in part to tl ore dint ages when Egypt was gov- erned by the Caliphs of Bagdad. Around it the sordid life of Keneh had crept, fungus-like, almost con- cealing, but not defacing, the home of some former merchant peince. The Arab stood aside, set his lan- tern upon the Balcony, and performed a low salutation as Yu'an Hee See and his companion entered the lighted room. On the threshhold of this room, which was furnished with surprising elegance, they were met by Aswami Pasha. He bowed low over the ex- tended hand of Orange Blossom, deep- ly saluting Yu'an Hee See. "We have done our best, my lord," he said. "1 trust you will be happy here for one night." He clapped his hands, and an oid Arab woman appeared. "My lady," he bowed to Yu'an Hee See's companion, "your apartment is prepared; Magreba will attend bo you." Orange Blossom followed the aged attendant from the apartment. "AIt are here?" Yu'an asked, upon a very high note, which betokened anxiety. "All. I have the list showing where each roan is tonight." Yu'an Hee See waved a plump hand. "I do not wish to see it. Next?" "The detective from Scotland Yard, who is in the Wallaroo, has been iden- tified. . . . He is in touch with the American girl whom your excellency has taken under your protection!" Yu'an Hee See began very softly to hiss, "It is almost certain then, that this roan had read the notes in my book before ....?" "I fear so, Excellency." Yu'an Hee See, his eyes apparently closed, nodded, slowly. "Even so," said the Egyptian, "alone he could do nothing." "He has had time to inform others. But he cannot know all. Yet this man it was who followed me to Singa- pore a year ago... , and has escaped me since. . . The, Hangman is on board?" he whispered. "He is." A pause, then: "Instruct Dr. Oest- Ier;" said Yu'an Hee See.' Aswami Pasha nodded comprehend- ingly; whereupon Yu'an Hee See be- gan to laugh, his red lips seeming to swell, but his teeth never showing; the oblique slits of his eyes turned in the Egyptian's direction. For five, ten seconds, Aswami sus- tained the gaze of those eyes which he could not see. Then, his own bold glance faltered—he dropped his dark lashes and turned aside. The laughter of Yu'an Hee See reached a note so high as to be al- most inaudible 5 0 * * Dawson Haig sat in the room of Jack Rattray, the chief officer, or rather, he at at intervals, pacing up and down like a wild animal. "It's a most unholy business," said Rattray, in his slow fashion. "I've been looking on, and I've seen things. First thing: you're spotted! ..." "I know! .. , and I can't read Oest- ler's messages! They're in a perfectly undecipherable code." "Second thing," Rattray went on: "Two members of this slimy gang are watching Eileen; meaning Dr. 0. and Mr. Chow. What for? She's not in their way, is she?" Dawson turned, just inside the cabin door, and stared at the speaker, Then: "You're right, Jack," he said. "I've seen them, myself. I don't like it, and I don't understand it." "But what's it all about?" Rattray asked helplessly. "What are all these birds doing on board? They're a pretty unsavory crew, in my reckoning, any- way. Oestler's plausible enough, but there's a nasty brute hidden under that amiable smile. As for the `snake chamfer,' she'd drown her own twins. Then there are the two Chinks on D deck. They appear to be on fighting terms, but I dot:bt it. The learned one, with the glasses—the little bloke,. I mean, ,Len Chow—doesn't seem in the Number One list to me, But his long pal with the strangled face ought to be'put overboard, if I'm any judge.

"And I," .said Dawson Haig, con- tinuing his restless pacing, "don't know what to make of men report to the chief.

"It's never been clear to me what the passenger list of the Wallaroo had to do with it." "It isn't clear to me," 'Haig con- fessed, "But I "know there is a con- nection. Arid I know I have my hand on the solutionof the mystery if only I can grasp it." He paced up and down awhile longer, then: "Do you remember, Jack," he jerked suddenly, "the loss of a big German freighter some -when off Suakkim •about two years ago?" Jack Rattray shook his head. "1 wasi,'t on this run two years ago. Why?" "Well, there's no point in telling you why, if you don't remember the case," Haig ri,plied.

"Then how do you know you forty miles off at the time?" "Ran into bit -of w'r ;ckage figured it out." (To Be Continued.) Planning_ Menus were and For the Family Meals in Which all the House- hold May Partake, Even the Tiny Children, are Not Difficult toy Arrange It takes much thought and planning on the part of the homemaker to serve one meal suitable for all members of a family which Is composed of "assorted sizes"—children of various ages and adults. But this thought and,plannilig bring'i good results because 'ti e•» erk as well as money are saved by the mother and pleasant family meals are enjoyed. One of the simplest ways of hand- ling the situation is to remove an In- dividual portion of a good wholesome food before additional seasoning makes it undesirable for the youngest. member at the family table. For example, a meat loaf made savoury with green peppers is not an acceptable food for the four-year-old. But a pan-broiled meat cake lightly seasoned with salt may be made for the small person with almost no extra work. The meat of course is taken out for the patty cake before the sea- soning for the meat is added. Food Per Children Individual portions of vegetables 'al- so niay be set aside before Seasoning for the family. Salads may be simplified and plainly dressed with lemon juice and oil. These precautions usually make it unnecessary to supply special and en- tirely different foods for children. The following menu takes care of the needs ce small children as well as those in their "teens." Breakfast: Orange juice, cooked cereal, cream, poached eggs, crisp whole wheat toast, coffee, milk. Luncheon: Noodle soup, toast Sticks, cottage cheese, raisin and green .pep per salad, baked. apples, milk, tea. Dinner: Baked lamb loaf, potatoes en casserole, canned lima beans, shredded leaf lettuce with chil'fonade dressing, fig and orange, jelly, Venil.i cookies, milk, coffee. Children under school age and per- sons -ive1l past middle age will not want both cereal and eggs for break- fast, but growing, older children and active adults need the extra ,breakfast dish, The luncheon salad must pe con• fined to cottage cheese .end one table- spoon finely chopped seeded raisins on a nest of finely shredded lettuce tor Children under school age, ' Mash Potatoes Well In the dinner menu the potatoes should be well mashed with a font, the beans rubbed through a rider and onions and radishes in the ebiffonade dressing very finely minced for small children. elhildren under five veers of age will ')e much better off if 'a plain dressing of oil and lemon ;juice is used on their lettuce.

Unvarying Quality 708 Fresh from the Gardens Shame Chart In Manhattan, S. Rpbert Stout, 55, president of the International Benja- min Franklin Society, founder of Edu- cational Thrift Service and one-time president of the New York Rotary Club, asked a dozen assorted bankers, psychologists, admen and businessmen to lunch. After lunch, Mr. Stout pre- sented each of his guests with a book- let containing 100 exceedingly person- al questions which were designed to foster sharp self -appraisal, shame the questionee to better behavior. Each answer carried with it a grade, and the final total of plus and minus rat- ings located the individual in society. Some questions: Do you pay more than your ectual share of common expenditures when in the company of others? If you failed to keep a promise to repay borrowed money to a person and were ushered to a seat in the theatre next to him, would you change your seat? How many occupants in your sleep- ing room? Do you attend church only as a social or business expedient? How often do you bathe each week? Do you understand the conventions of contract bridge? Do you always use a handkerchief when you sneeze or cough? Do your eyes' need attention now? • How much do you walk, daily aver- age? You will now take a 10 -minute re- cess, during which you will go in per- son, call on the telephone, write a let- ter or send a telegram, fully and frankly confessing your most recent deceit, explaining a recent negligence, apologizing for a discourtesy or keep- ing an overdue promise.

How many of your accounts payable for living expenses are delinquent 30 days or more? Dor you remember the place where you last saw a beautiful sunset? Is your living standard adjusted to your present income? Have you now in your possesison a borrowed book or umbrella you are ashamed to'return? How many times have you seriously considered suicide? If you had a dinner engagement with an interesting person whose favor you were seeking, how long would you delay keeping the engagement to wait for the veterinary to come to see your very sick dog?

Th sport official said he had started the electrc'al "growing experiment at his Burlington, Ont., farm in January last year. Three hotbeds, 126 by 11 feet, were equipped with lead-bouud electric cables. These were placed on beds of cinders over which six. inches of loam were placed. In this loam, the seeds of lettuce and radishes were planted. When success with lettuce and radishes followed, tomatoes and cabbage plants were grown.

"Look after this while I have din- ner," he said to a pageboy. After dinner the man.yeturned and asked for his parcel, "I'll bet you can't guess what is in this parcel," said the man, smiling. The pageboy made several guesses —all wrong. "I'll show you," said the bran. He opened one end of the parcel and poured out on the counter a heap of gold --twisted gold settings that had held jewels, gold watchcases, gold bracelets and chains, sovereigns, pen- cil -cases, wedding rings, buckles. "There is nearly £12,000 worth of gold here," the man said. "On Mon- day morning it will all be melted down." And retying his parcel he strode away.
