', "Wasn't it funny they didn't send
out a call for help?" Dawson Haig
asked.
Rattray stared at him. "No," he re-
plied, "In my cpinion they hit some
small heavily -laden craft, and the
pair of 'em sank almost at once."
"But surely there would have been
a few survivors?"
"Have you ever had a good look at
it shark?" said- Jack Rattray grimly.
Following a short silence, Haig
asked: "Is there much drug smug-
gling down that way?"
"Lots! Hashish for Egypt, mostly.
Also. the good old slave trade flour-
ishes exceedingly. Um told the poor
devils are driven across the old slave
routes by the time-honored methods,
Right ip from Central Africa! The
ea,ras:ans travel at night, of course,
and dig in during the day. They run
motorboats across nowadays, high-
power craft developing forty knots.
I've seen 'em from the bridge onee
or twice. They cross on dark nights,
as a tele."
"But tv)u•re ran the markets be,
Jack?"
"There's Mecca 'That's still a clos-

told there's a-r.iall, :ort of exclusive

"Conte in!" Rattray called. Tile
door opened, and Eileen entered, clos-
ing it carefully behind her.
"I've caught them!" she declared,
her eyes sparkling with excitement—
"at fast!"
"What'."' Uaxtion Haig demanded.
"I saw the snake charmer slip a
mote into the hand of Mr. Len Chow
as they passed or the promenade deck,
three minutes ago!"
* 4: * *
i There was a d:unee after dinner that
night,
Dawson Haig, desperately worried,
went up onto the boat deck, quite de-
serted at the moment, and leaned over
the starboard sail, at a point just aft
She bridge, staring; across calm sea in
the direction. of the African coast. He
fried to think—to think calmly,
The problem was one demanding the
exercise of all his powers. And, set
Vise a jewel le this dark affair, was
Eileen—a distracting figure (be could
eat be blind to the truth) , and one
upon which all too often he found his
thoughts focussed. That Eileen had
twice proved of incalculable serviee
slid not alter the plain fact that many
limes when he should have been eon.
eentrating upon the mystery, he found
himself concentrating upon Eileen.
From a professional point of view
lie was faced either with something
eery like ruin, or, alternatively, with
at triumph which must prove a big
stepping -stone ie his far-flung ambi.
iions.
Greeted this success—now doubly
be prayed for --he might dare to
i'
nnk about Eileen as he longed to
nk about her; not as the charming
Oster of an old friend, nor even a
'a pable little helper, but as.. .Eileen.
Where did the clue lie to these mys-
terious activities: What should be his
next move? It was maddening to
watch, to know some incomprehensible
plot stretching from Limehouse to
Paris, Paris to Marseilles, and thence
to Port Said further, perhaps—was
fermenting under his very eyes, com-
ing to maturity, and yet—to do no-
thing!
At which poiet in his reflections, he
was seized from behind in a steely
grasp and lifted lightly, as a nurse
might lift an infant! He was in the
grip of that creature of Yu'an Hee
See's called "the Hangman." But of
this fact he was ignorant.
Swung back over the shoulder of
this unseen, hut incredibly powerful
assailant, he recognized, with a cold
chill of dread, that he was about to
be hurled into the sea!
Automatically to his mind sprang
those instructions which every police
officer receives in jiu-jitsu. His fists
were useless, flung high, impotent,
above his head. But the cunning grip
which told him that he was dealing
with an expert, held him so poised
that only at one moment—for which,
dangerously, Haig must wait—could
he counter.
That moment came—as the seem-
ingly irresistible forward swing corn-
nenced which was to hurl him into
the sea. He checked a cry in his
throat. He was icily cool. And, fol-
lowing the curve of that mighty throrw
instead of endeavoring to check it as
an ill-informed victim would have
''one, he swung forward, drew up his
knees, and kicked backward with all
his strength!
It was sheep guesswork, but one
heel registered dully upon the head
of the athlete who held him aloft.
That death swing was never come
plated. Haig dropped with a crash
upon the rail, hung perilously for a
moment—and felt a vice -like grip
upon his ankles....
He was tipped forward, forward, ir-
resistibly—until he saw the Lights of
portholes beneath, the lower ones re-
flected in the aea. He clawed at the
rail. That silent horror was, behind
him, hanging above him!
Clutching grimly, he kicked --kick-
ed agatn....got ' hold with his left
'nand higher up, and realized that the
man was crafting right over, was
reaching down to relax that detaining
grip, In desperation, resting his heal
against the levee rail, he managed at
last to free his anldes, to draw his
legs down -
Then, with all his remaining
strength, he shot both feet upward!
There was an impact—a stifled cry.
His jacket, held in clutching fingers,
swept down over his head, but he
clung an --clung on dizzily.
A wrench --a bulky shape streaked
past him, ...a dull splash. The Hang-
man had failed!
Dishevelled, panting, Haig dragged
himself back to the deck. He leaned
dizzily against a boat, striving to ad-
just his disorder. Already the plan
was forming which later he canted
out. No one knew that the thug was
overboard, No one should ever know,
but the sharks, until his absence was
discovered.
When, bewilderingly, came the swish
of a silken sfnawl—a patter of feet ---a
soft, terrified cry.... and Eileen's
sweet arms were about his neck!
"Billy—Billy dear! Oh, you're cov-
ered in blood! What is it? What is
it?"
"My dean" he said—"it's nothing.
I'm safe --and no one must know—"
She was staring into his face eager-
ly, her own raised in a sort of agony
of apprehension. Haig began to
tremble, His heart was thumping so
hard that its pulsation seemed to stifle
him. one was every resolution be so

CHAPTER XV.
A, few moments after the WaIlaroo
dropped her anchor off Port Said, the
British Consul came aboard, There
was a conference in the captain's
cabin.
Haig had deliberately failed to no-
tify the fact that there was a man
overboard, It hae gene into his Scot-
land Card dossier, but he had sup-
pressed it from those on board, with
a specific object,
The first news was given by a stew-
ard entering the missing man's room
in the morning. They were heading,
for the Canal e, the time, and the
ship was searched by the purser's
orders. The conclusion was come to
that the morose Chinese passenger
had committed suicide during the
night by jumping overboard....
Now, in the closed cabin of the
commander, Dawson Haig revealed
the truth to Captain Peterson and the
British Consul,
"I take full cesponsibility," he said;
"you can see for yourselves the sort
of gang I have to deal with. First, the
Limehouse outrage, and now this mu_
derous attack on me. I got off lightly
with a cut scalp and a torn sleeve!"
The commander: scratched his grin
zled head.
"What do you wislr"to do, Inspec-
tor?" the Consul asked. "In my opin-
ion
pin
ion the persons whom you suspect of
being associated with the missing
assassin should: be detained.
Dawson Haig stood up, grinning
savagely and shaking his head.
"Upon what evidence?", he demand-
ed, "I assure you that except for a
scrap of paper providentially discov-
ered by Miss Kearney, there's nothing
to associate Dr. Oestler, for instance,
with any consiracy directed against
me. And even that is far from con -
elusive. I mean., he coald explain it
in all sorts of ways. 'He doesn't ap-
pear to be acquaieted either with Miss
Miss Valerie Ednam or with Mr.
Chow, and certainly not with the
German, Hartog, on the lower deck.
And what have I against these three
people which would justify detention?
I asure you" ---and he shook his head
emphatically—"absolutely nothing."
"Then what are we to do?" asked
the Consul. "Of course, I could detain
them here, for a time—"
"No, no. Nothing official," was
Haig's reply.
With the coming of daylight, the
babel of that curious port rose to full
blast Sellers of all kinds of wares--
carpets, lace, jewelry, Birmingham
antiques, and the rest—set esse tt it
shops on deck, turning the ship into
a miniature bazaar. The inevitable
conjurer was there with his little
brass cups. And there were divers in
boats who shouted—and never stopped
shouting—except when they actually
dived, which was rarely.

WeII-Dressed Male
Will Wear Pastel
Shaded Host Suit
Coat Has Shawl Collar and
Sash of Silk — Will Do
Away With Customary
Dinner Jacket
Chicago.—lIere's news for the men
—they can decide for themselves if it's
good or bad.
A. host suit in pastel shades, with a
shawl collar and aewide sash of silk,
has emerged as the latest dictate of
what the well-dressed male shall wear',
when entertaining at home or on semi-
formal
emiformal occasions.
Walter A. Stresen-Reuter of Chi-
cago, chairman of the fashion show at',
the joint convention of the national
association of merchant tailors and
the merchant -tailor designers associa-
tion at a local hotel, told about it.
He said it would do away with the',
customary dinner jacket and in con-
trast to the sober black it would be
available in maroon, light blue, wine
and green.

A dash of Worcestershire sauce add-
ed to the French dressing gives a very
pleasing flavor.
Some little time I was much in re-
quest,
Either she read nae or hugged me to
her breast,
And several sorts of ferns were pressed
Between my red -ruled pages.
Then, one night (I can almost see it
still)
A letter came, and stormed, "I should
like to kill
That two-faced miscreant Podgers";
And she flung me under the settee,
where
I lay in want of light and air,
And endured the supercilious stare
Of the Works of Samuel Rogers.
That always stood on the bracket—
well, -.
There's not much really left to tell,.
I was rescued by the housemaid Nell,
Who hadn't no time for reading, •
And hers I am, and yet I suppose
I'd better not grumble, as this world
goes,
For I see I'm outstaying rows and
rows
Of the newest immortal fiction;
And Rogers has vanished—I don't
know where—
With his "Pleasures of Memory"—and
I don't care;
I presume he's propping the leg of a
chair
With his sniffy, elegant diction,

Longer Skirts the

Paris.—Longer skirts were the rule
in fashion shows, which are beginning
to indicate what's what in the spring
mode. -
"No more striding about in short
skirts,' is the present decree for all
hours of the day, following a general
trend toward greater feminity.
Althougbethe length is far from ex-
treme, there is a tendency to lengthen
sports and street outfits to nine to
eleven inches from the ground and to
make informal • afternoon clothes
slightly longer.
Spring coats, a big item in feminine
wardrobes, appeared in sober tones of
black, brown and navy in beige and
wools, often brightened by scarves of
gay colored suede silk,
It is poor economy to buy cheap fix-
tures for the bathroom as they require
more care and soon need refinishing.
If you must replace bathroom fixtures,
replace them with the best quality pos-
sible or make the ones you are using
do until you see your way clear to buy
good ones,
We recommend the purchase of

Says Missing Link
Found in Plants
k rain
Doctor at Michigan Museum
Finds Six Seeds Dating
Back 325,000,000
Years Ago
New York.. --Ever since the theories
of evolution were advanced, artists
have searched for the "missing link"
to carry over the hypothesis from the
highest of the animals to lean. The
missing link was some undiscovered
(and hence "lost") common, ancestor
of man and the apes.
Evolution, of coerce,• does not apply
solely to the animal kingdom. There
is evolution in plants as well. And
plant evolution, like animal evolution,
has its "missing link." The still -
sought key in• botany hinges around
the search for a common ancestor of
seed -bearing Plants and non -seed
bearing species. The analogy for ani-
mals would be those which reproduce
the species by laying eggs and those
which are vivaparous, or give birth to
live young'.
The botanical "missing link" is to
find a common ancestor for plants that
prodece their own seeds like our fruit
trees and most modern plants, and
the ferns which continue the species
by growing spores on the leaves; When
ripe the, spores fall off and are blown
away by millions, . to become seeds
only after hit-or-miss fertilization.
This is characteristic of primitive
plants.
More evidence that some 325,000,000
years ago there existed a "missing
link" in the plant world is reported by
Dr. C. A. Arnold, curator of fossil
plants at the University of Michigan
Museum, upon examination of several
seeds found last summer in Pennsyl-
vania.
Seeds as old as those found by Dr.
Arnold have been discovered only
twice before, once in the Catskill
Mountains and once in Ireland. He
found his specimens in northern Penn-
sylvania rocks dating from the De-
vonian period, at least 325,000,000
years ago, and about 30,000,00.0 years
ago when the great coal beds of the
region were deposited.
The newly -discovered seeds, six in
number, are about a quarter of an
inch long and were inclosed in a fib-
rous husk. Although pressed fiat and
reduced to a "coaly" material, with.
the interior structure unrecognizable
I detail, their size and shape are
clearly revealed. Near the seeds were
found numerous large fish scales, an
inch in diameter, and several primi-
tive forerunners of the modern crus-
taceans and bivalves.
