INSTALMENT 27
In the great hardens of the old
palace, an unusual quiet reigned. The
negroes seemed to haye disappeared,
to a man, Even the big engine shed
adjoining the garages, and its annex
with the tall radio masts, were desert-
ed. The big house was still.
Haig strode along a path close un-
der the wall which markers the south-
ern boundary of his patrol. His brain
eves racing again, and be knew that
he must keep a grip on comttic5fi
sense.
Ike made a detour, so as to pass
the window of the hut he shared with
the Jackal, The drug -shattered creole
sprawled across his bunk, breathing
heavily.
Haig realized that practivaily he had
the run of the place; a guardian who
was himself a prisoner. Foolhardily
he had thrust himself into the place,
and he knew that it was not the call',
of duty, but a mad anxiety for Eileen 1
which had driven him.
He had seen the room in which she
was imprisoned apparently under the
guardianship of a woman. He wond-
ered if any of the eunuchs remained
on duty inside the harem enclosure.
He walked along the path below
the wall. Very faintly at times he had.

TORONTO
the first of the little watchtowers.
There were several women in the gar-
den, but Eileen was not among them,
rhe balcony upon which he had seen
Eileen was not visible from this
paint.
Pressing on, he cautiously mounted
another flight of steps...,,...he saw
something at which his heart seemed
to miss a beat, One of the black
eunuchs was coming down a side
path, carrying a woman's body thrown
sackwise over his right shoulder.
One glance was sufficient. He was
carrying Eileen Kearney—alive or
dead, Haig could not tell! A tall and
vicious -looking Arab, white -robed
and turbaned, followed.
Automatic in hand, Haig craned
over the parapet as the gigantic ne-
gro swung suddenly left, descended a
flight of stone steps, and disappeared
under an archway, followed by the
Arab.
Where did that tunnel lead to? Haig
heard the bang of a heavy door in the
sunken archway.
As he stood plainly in view now to
anyone in the garden, he heard a
cry! It came from the balcony upon
which he had seen Eileen! "Cherie!
eheriel my baby! where are you?"
This was the big woman he had seen
On the previous day. She bad looked
French.
Haig sprang right up on the para-
pet, waving his arms; Swiftly Celeste
indicated that he should conceal him-
self and wait. Haig drew back and
stone steps and along the garden.
presently she came running down the
"You, up there! you can bear me?"
she gasped,
"Yes, yes, I ani, ....:'
"I know who you are! She told me.
Listen, only listen: This is the work
of the Chinese hell -cat. It is Said
from Keneh who has taken the little
one. They have drugged me again, I
think, the poor baby. They will take
her to Koseir, and from there to the
house of Hassan es-Suk at Keneb,
This house......"
"I know it, I know it!" Haig inter..
rupted impatiently. "Go on! Go on!"
"There are two motorboats in the
harbor. In one of them she will be
taken. For God's sake, save her!
Here it is bad enough—but there!
Stop them—you must stop them!"
"But tell me: where is my best
chance--"
"There is only one way," she said:
"it is through the gate. Butit you
could only reach it, the blacks would
never question you. And alt those pigs
are away "
Haig raced down the stone steps.
As it chance a collapsible ladder,
used for pruning purposes, was lying
on a path where one of the gardeners
had left it! It was heavy, but long.
A passionate rage gave Dawson
Haig additional strength. Fully ex-
tending the ladder, he leaned it up
against the high wall, mounted, and
stood on the top. The road far be-
low was deserted from end to end.
Poised perilously, he began to draw
the ladder up, an operation calling
or great muscular effort and a nice
sense of equilibrium.
A sort of savage exultation lent
him the powers of an acrobat. He
got the ladder poised like a see -saw
on top of the wall. Then, realizing
hat he could not turn it, he lowered
he narrow end onto the hard -baked
mud of the path below. Swiftly, he
lid down, jerked the tall ladder from
the wall, closed its three sections,
nd dropped it amongst the rank
undergrowth in a ditch.
He reached the outskirts of the lit -
Ie terraced town unchallenged—in-
deed, without meeting a living creat -
re. The ,palm -lined street on the
ett, which contained what appeared
o be the only cafe in the place, was
eserted. None of the squat buildings
f plastered mud—brick and wood-
ork exhibited any sign of life. Tied
p to the steps was a dingy -looking
motor -boat --the same, or its twin, in
which he had crossed from Koseir.
Then a distant murmur checked him

piece and swimming steadily, he could
propel it without any very groat ef-
fort. He knew provided be could es-
cape a bullet, that it would be pos..
sible to keep afloat for hours. But
that ghastly streteb around the wreck
was now bristling with sharks' fins!
There were fewer sounds from the
few poor survivors, But the protect-
ing deck chair, soar, had escaped
the attention both of the marksmen
and of the sharks.
Rattray summoned ail bis resourc-
es. He meant to survive the tragedy.
He must survive it. A floating deck
chair and one man's undaunted spirit
meant the difference between immun-
ity for these ghastly murderers and
that day of reckoning which he more,
with clenched teeth, should come to
them,
A gentle, almost imperceptible cur-
rent, was bearing him seawards. He
tried to visualize a chart of the Red
Sea and the approximate positions of
steamers. He was many miles. off the
track, and dusk was near. His proper
course, then, was to steal southward
on this gentle current, and then edge
in towards the tail of the rocky isl-
and, since rescue by a passing 'steam-
er was almost out of the question.
He was now more than a mile
from the scene of the disaster, He
swung around. The submarine and
the dhow, the latter with two boats
in tow, was making for the'head of
the island, It was a screen from be-
hind which; doubtless, they operated.
And, so carefully does Fate weave
those comedies in which 11111y-evilly
we all play a part, that it was almost
exactly at this moment that Dawson
Haig walked down the little jetty to
where the motor cruiser was encored.
A pock -marked negro, whom he re-
member, and an Arab boy were on
board. They both stood up and stared
at him suspiciously as he came
hurrying along the stone pavement.
Orders!" he said, sbirply, "Nose-
irl" but -as he sprang on beard, the
crew of two continued to regard him
with doubt and hesitation,
"Hurry!" he cried, and swung the
formidable club he carried; The negro
glanced helplessly at the boy—and
the latter threw off the rope, At last
the game was in his bands.
By dawn he would be back in Kose-
ir. There was a wireless station, and
a small English colony. . He was no
longer "Joseph" but bad, become
again in spirit and in fact Detective
Inspector Dawson Haig.
He peered anxiously ahead. The
leading motor cruiser was not in
sight. Even if a car waited` t Koseir,
which he suspected would be the
case, he could have it intercepted.
The game was in his hands!
The course, as he remembered, lay
due northwest from the bay for the
first forty or fifty miles. There,'out
of sight of the mainland, It skirted
that long, low island. The t• bore

hours or more, then westerly again,
sweeping out seaward to pass Jeddah,
and nor'northwest• to the petro? sta-
tion. He might find himseif in diffi-
culty, there. Probably they had some
means of communication.
Exultation, doubt, fear, fought for
supremacy in his mind, They were
three hours out trona the base, and
the long, low island was dropping
astern, Four more hours before that
swing around which would point their
bows to the African coast= -which
would seem to bring him nearer to
Eileen!
They were drawing in to the main
coast again. Suddenly, Haig sprang
to his feet, shouting excitedly; Al'-
most under their starboard bow float-
ed a piece of wreckage which look-
ed like a deck chair. then, beside
it, a head bobbed up......

Are You Guilty ?
Fresh from

The Chatham Daily News raises a
nice question in regard to courtesy
on the highways. In these days of
automobile travel it is recognized that
when passing other motorists at night
a, driver should dim his lights mom-
entarily so that the glare be remov-
ed. The News relates the experience
of a Chatham woman motorist while
returning from Toronto, thus:
As she was passing through
the district between Toronto and
London she found the traffic
heavy, Being a careful driver,
driver, she conscientiously dim-
med her headlights when she ap-
proached other vehicles; but to
her surprise and annoyance there
was practically no return of the
courtesy. As soon as she neared
the boundary line of Kent County
she found a difference. Other
motorists, out of deference to her
own signals, dimmed their lights,
and travelling was much more
safe and pleasant.
The Chatham paper asks: What is
the explanation? It may be that many
people who find themselves away
from home surroundings forget their
manners. It is' a weakness of human
nature that permits indifference to-
ward others when outside the steady-
ing influence of friends and acquaint-
ances. Strangers inconvenienced by
this spirit may never be seen again;
so why bother about courtesy? Night
drivers cannot readily be identified,
and this may induce carelessness
about observing the amenities of the
road. This is not a ..comporting
thought, but it may account for the
Chatham lady's experience. Surely
such offenders would be in the min-
ority, As the News puts it: "Most
people have more pride ' than to
flaunt discourtsey. Then why not be
as courteous in the dark hs the
light?"
Courtesy is desirable everywhere
and at all tinges; but especially on the
highways under rresent eondifOcns of
traffic. For years the Ontario Motor
League and other -organizations pro-
moting safety on the roads have been
urging auto drivers to have consider-
ation for "the other fellow." Happily,
the majority of drivers are so dispos-
ed ;but always there will be the sel-
fish, careless inCividuals for whom
tragic regulations are a nuisance;
and evidently many of these were on
the highway between Toronto and
London when the Chatham lady was
returning home. It is not news that
in good old Kent County she found
highway courtesy an established
habit.—Toronto Globe.

Tissue Grafted to Body
Replaces Impaired Gland,'
Baltimore—The successful grafting
of living tissue into a human body to
take up the functions of impaired
glands was described today by three
John Hopkins research workers in a
copyrighted article published in the
American Journal of Surgery.
Two operations for the transplant-
ation of healthy parathyroid tissue
into ailing patients were cited. The
success was noted in the rise of the
amount of calcium in the blood to
normal. The thyroids are two glands
near the windpipe. The prathyroids
close to the thyroids, control the ccl-
cium supply,
Faced with the almost uniform fail-
ure of other experimenters, Dr. Har-
vey 13. Stone, associate professor of
surgery at the Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine, and his associate , Dr.
James C. Owings and George 0. Gey,
made their report after more than
three years of research.
The first opportunity to apply the
method to a human being presented
itself early last year. Two potients
were brought into the clinic, one suf-
fering from Paget's disease, a form
of excessive bone growth, and the
other from lack of sufficient lime in
the body.
The latter had a thyroid gland re-
moved 16 months previously and
showed the effects of this.
One parathyroid gland was remov-
ed from the patient who had Paget's
disease. An examination showed that
it was healthy. Six weeks were requi-
red to prepare the tissue for trans,
plantation.
This tissue was first grown in a cut
ture prepared with the serum of t
patient from whom the gland ha
been removed. A similar culture w
developed from the propective reeip
ient and at the end of two weeks tilt
tissue was transferred to it. Fod
four weeks it was grown there to be
come acclimated to its new host.
The parathyroid tissue was graft
ed into the loose flesh of the arni. pit;
The operation was performed on Feb.:
may 17, 1933. Within sixty days
the patient responded to tests, show
ing an improvement, the experiment.'
ers reported.
The second case of the experiment
ers was started more than seven.'
months ago and has progressed to a'
point where they described the oper:�
ation as successful. Three operstione,
for parathyroid transplantations ancI
five for thyroid were undertaken ret
Gently
The three scientists declined, be --1,
cause of "insufficient data," to gen;
eralize on the possibilities of their di -J
scovery in revolutionizing the pro-
cedure of treating patients who- lack
the proper amount of secretion- from
internal glands.
'Speaking for the group, Dr. Stone
said, however, they believed they were
justified in saying their method
"holds great promise for future pro-
gress."
The Knowing Pike
A letter to Our Dumb Animals
Some years ago when a resident of
Worcester one of the pleasantest of
that city's several parks had been -.in
times past. a great private estate,
with an interesting old mansion and
hundreds of acres of hill, lake gar-
dens, etc The lake was thickly popu-
lated with enormous pike.
It used to amuse me to toss into
the water an entire loaf of bread
and watch the greedy and fat fish
pile up three deep about it, many of
these throwing themselves clean out
of the water. In a short time the
bread would disappear to the last
crumb; but at first, and before any
pike had succeeded in nibbling the
hard crust, the loaf of bread would
be tossed about like a football.
The city park commission saw that
the pike were fed regularly, and the
fish also fared well at the hands of
picnickers, But the pike increased to
such an extent that they had to be
thinned out, Thereore the directors of
Green Hill Park voted that on one
day of the week, on Thursday, any-
body was at liberty to fish or cast net
from the shore line. The fish were not
welcomed by the connoisseurs of good,
food, but many of the foreign born in
the colonies took advantaeg of the
permission and went home with bur-
lap bags full of fat pike.
Presently a strange thing was no-
ted, that belongs to that endless dis-
pute. Do animals reason? For al-
though on every other day the pike
were present in great numbers and as
voracious as ever,' on Thursday they
retired one and all to the depths of
the upper leek and refused all lures!
Now it niay be argued that these
canny fish noticed the poles and
nets of the fisherman, and came to
associate these implements with• dis-
aster; but the fact remains that,
as the caretakers assured me, the
pike invariably retired on every Thur -i
sday morning before the fishermen•
arrived! They did not reappear until
Friday morning.
