Inspector Dawson Haig of Scot- land Yard is an old friend of Matt liear- uey, correspondent of a Nes York news_ paper, and is in love with his sister Eil- een. Haig boards the Wallaroo at Mar- seilles before Dr. Oestler and Joseph, an Armenian fortune teller, agents of Tu'an Hee See lure Eileen to Moham- med's shote when she goes ashore and Haig trails then) and kills Joseph. Us- ing Joseph's gang credentials, Haig makes his way to Yu'an's headqua -tors In Arabia, where he is assigned as an -sip v a'O usollg saes en •paVnil 0plslno tante. The Wallaroo is pulled off her course by wireless calls for .help and a submarine directed by Yu'an and As- wami Pasha, sinks the liner after tak- ing off the gold. Orange Blossom. Yu'- an's jealous favorite, suggests to the Pasha, that Bileen be spirited away. She is taken away in a motor cruiser bound for Eeneh, and Haig follows in an- other motorboat INSTALMENT 28 Aswami Pasha, swathed in band- ages, came out of Dr. Oestler's room on .the ground floor of the old palace, into a tiled corridor. He walked a- long to that little lobby which opened on the courtyard inside the entrance gates, He would be disfigured for life. Kid Brown, in passing, his cunning fighter's brain keyed up by the im- minence of death, had left this inef- faceable neffaceable mark of his trade upon the man whose bullet had sped him. Ali the piston -rod force of that phenom- enal Ieft had been put into the job— the final job --of pulverizing Aswami's beauty. Certainty that that Grecian nose was smashed fiat had sweetened the Kid's last agony. Jacques, the creole (known as the Jackal), waited in the lobby, his shifty eyes fearful. "Well!" said Aswami Pasha., "What have you to report?" "Chief!" the man gasped—"Chief.... -.it is Joseph........be is gone!" "Gone!" "He is nowhere! He does not come to relieve me at four o'clock. He is nowhere—he is gone!" There was a moment of silence. "Go back to Your duty," said the Egyptian. He walked along the cor- ridor, up a short flight of stairs, and entered that office, exotically furnish. ed, with its voluptuous paintings and statuettes. Dropping down upon a divan, he sank his bandaged face in his hands. He was already a verye wealthy man. His share in this last coup would make him a millionaire.. It was as well, since, henceforward, whatever of pleasure be could secure—he must buy, He would always be hideous. Men would shun his company. Women. would fly from him. He struggled to regain mastery of himself—to remember what he had planned before they had set out on this expedition against the Wallaroo. What did the absence of Joseph mean? Certainly old Mohammed was 'to be trusted; and he had had word Uf the fellow's excellent quality. But yet The girl! The rose -girl whore the Marquis Yli'dn Hee See loved, whom he had taken such insane risks to se- cure! Was there any connection between his compact with Orange Blossom and the absence of Joseph? He must find out, Orange Blossom! "I will remember" she had said. Never again would he read that promise in a woman's eyes —hear again that taunting allure- ment in a woman's voice. And bought love was so cold. He hail exulted in his physical beauty. The way he took, now, anxious to avoid observation, led him along a path skirting the eunuchs' quarters. Wild screams and sobs broke the silence of the night; a sound of blows heavily descending upon bare flesh. Aswami Pasha unlocked a heavy, iron -studded door, and entered a cov- ered courtyard. One of the Nubians fay in a corner, groaning, his bare feet bathed In blood. Another, strip- ped, was strung up to the ring of punishment, and Uncle Tom, the chief eunuch, was administering the heath). - ado, Three others, manacled, await- . ed their punishment. Yu'an Hee See, a blue tinge show- .As Hassan stood In the door of the ing under his lemon -colored skin, cafe, a convenient camouflage for the fixed his eyes upon Aswami as he real business of the establishment, entered. walking towards him came Major I?il- "'.Chis is your staff work, my friend" ton of the Ameriratl );:tuba: sy in Tile Chinaman's voice was incredibly high. "This is your organization! We shall have trouble with the crew. There can be no share -out and no dismissals until this mystery is solved." Aswami Pasha stared througb his bandages, "Mystery, my lord?" "The woman has gone --'the Ameri- can woman I had chosen. Do you realize what this means?" A cold terror clutched Aswami Pasha's heart. Well enough he knew his danger, But he rested gratefully upon the cunning of Orange Blossom. "Celeste, the Frenchwoman?", he suggested. "I see nothing!" groaned the `tor- tured negro. "I know nothing, mas- ter—I see nothing!" "Stop!" said Yu'an Hee See softly. "Take the next." At which theefiizst of the three negroes awaiting the bastinado dropped down uponet:Ws knees, raising manacled wrists, "Master, my lord!" he chattered— "Master, my lord! I know everything. I carried her out, my lord, down to the tunnel—" "By whose orders?" "Said of Keneh," Yu'an Hee See turned to Aswanii Pasha, "Said would never have so dared," he whispered. "There is deep treachery here. Said has been given to understand that she is to be offer- ed to' the agent of • the Bey!" His words died away in a low hissing; then: "You will take the French plane, Aswami, with Anton as pilot, I am thinking now not of my pleasure, but of our safety. It is too late to es- tablish contact with Hess, in Koseir. He will have left for Cairo. Hassan we cannot reach. Go, my friend. You have much to do." Aswami Pasha choked down an ex- clamation xclamation of relief, and went out. The disappearance of Joseph he de- cided not to report. It might be part of. Orange Blossom's plan. Per- haps it had been necessary to kill the guard. * * * * Old Hasson es-Suk stood with ex- tended palms before a portly figure seated upon one of the divans in that sunken, stuffy room at the back of the Cafe alagrabi in Keneb. The fat visitor regarded him with cynical distrust. "I tell you, Ale Mahmoud," said Hassan, speaking in Arabic—"sbe' is more desirable than any woman in Bgypt.• The sight of her turns -the blood to lire, When she speaks there is silence in paradise; and when she walks the young palm trees droo x in shame." "To the devil with your poetry,e0 Hassan! What is her price?" Hassan • shrugged deprecatingly. "Ob, Ali Mahmoud, I must charge the cost of obtaining her. This has been difficult. You understand? She is 'American. There will be a hue and cry. Already I have been persecuted, here, in my house, by the English and by the Americans. I fear for my safe- ty, Ali Mahmoud. I do not disguise your risk—but I roust charge for mine." "Where is she?" the other asked impatiently. "On her way from lease's. She will be here at noon." "This means, 0 Hassan the Liar, that you have never set eyes on her! And you say she is American? This is more than dangerous, This is in- sanity, unless she belongs to that class .. . Hassan extended• expressive palms. "This I cannot tell you, Ali Mahmoud, But for her beauty I can answer." "Very well." Ali 14lahmoud stood up. "At twelve o'clock, my friend, in the inner room. But I beg of you, observe great caution." The chief eunuch of the Bey went out, not too easy in his mind as to the outcome of this commission en- trusted to him by his exalted master. He was experienced 'in the wiles of old Hassan es-Suk, yet was forced to deal with hila; for through the hands of Hassan passed some of the choicest human merchandise obtainable in the Near East.

"Indeed," said the lean. Bostonian, looking the speaker over with an un- friendly glance. "That's surelylgood news. I stayed on here in Deneb:,: Mr. Hassan, with a very definite sr axon.

K ep Utensils Shining Bright Here:are: Helpful Hints for Treating Aluminum, GIass Enamel and Pottery The most delightful "sight in the world to a real housekeeper is a kit- chen full of bright, shining pots and pans, each qualified to do its special task to perfection. This lovely efficiency presupposes however, a very special kind of care on the part of the housekeeper. For aluminum, enamel, glass and pottery all their best. The popular aluminum 'is avail- able of course in many brands and weights. e,Taturally, the heavier the metal the longer it will last but all aluminum wears well and is • light to handle. A. good scouring powder easily dissolves stains. If you re- membeA tl-at alkali is the darkening agent for aluminum, you can care for it accordingly. The best ecuip- inent is a neutral soap for washing wood for scrapping (half a clothes- pin for cleaning and a wooden spoon for stirring during cooking) and very fine sandpaper or steel wool for scouring with thorough scalding and wiping. CARE OF ENAMEt. Enamelware requires gentle hand- ling since hard knocks make it chip. Nor will the average enamelware stand intense heat without checking, which leads eventually_ to chipping However, it has little tendency to discolor and stains are easily re- moved with any food scouring pow- der. Wood must be used for scrap- ing and stirring in enamel ware, too, because' metal scratches the glaze of enamel. and makes dark str > Hot soapsuds, thorough scalding4ry- ing keep this material at its best If food sticks and burns let the pan cool before putting water in it. Then soak and scrape off the burned par- ticles with wood. If the burning was bad and some of the spots ob- stinate, melt a small amount of fat slowly In the pan and scrape again. GLASSWARE Glass is popular for ovenware and requires no special preparation of it's one of the brands particularly con- structed to withstand the - strain of expansion and contraction. The glass measuring cups, mixing bowls and miscellaneous dishes used in the kitchen will wear better if they are immersed in a panful of cold water and brought slowly to the boiling point and boiled for five or ten minutes. Let them cool in the water. et :ou would keep your glass clear and shining wash in hot soap- suds, scald and dry . If food , sticks it usually will soak off. "SEASONING" IRON UTENSILS Iron atensils are often covered with a thin coating of some sort of shellac when shipped from 'the factory. This must be removed and the iron "seasoned" before using. First let the utensil stand for several hours in water in which washing soda has been dissolved. Wash in warm oapruds and day. Then rub with unsalted fat and let stand in a warm oven for two or three hours; then heat to the smoking point. Let cool and wash in hot soapsuds; scald .and dry. Rub well with fat for the second time and heat slowly and thoroughly in the oven, . Wipe off the surplus fat with a soft crumpled paper and the utensil is ready to use.

This expenditure was divided; one-third to be paid by the Province, one-third by the Dominion and one-third by the municipalities. Grants were also made for Muni- cipal Relief Works, the cost of which was paid 25 per cent, each by the Dominion and the Province and 50 per cent, by the municipalities. Two hundred and six (206) municipali- ties participated in these grants. Con- siderable Road Construction was also done in Northern Ontario for relief purposes. In the season of 1931-32' grants were made to 190 municipalities for Relief Works, and 341 municipalities distributed Direct Relief. Of the a- mount expended for Relief . Works, about 60 per cent. was for labour. There was also expended $6,000,000 for the Trans -Canada Highway, $4,- 700,000 for Northern Development Work, and $1,000,000 for the Pro- vincial Highway made from Madoc to Perth. The Dominion paid 50 per cent. of the Trans -Canada Highway and 40 per cent. for Northern Devel- opment Work and the Provincial Highway. Beginning May 1st, 1932, all grants for Relief Works were aban- doned, both by the Province and the Dominion, except some grants made by the Dominion to the Province for camps on the Trans -Canada Highway and other works in Northern Ontario. Home Owners Assisted In the summer, of 1932, an Advis- ory Committee on Direct Relief, known as the Campbell Committee, was appointed, which Committee re- ported in July, 1932. In September, 1933, Provincial and Municipal Relief Works were again undertaken. Direct Relief has beer continued in many municipalities. Direct Relief consists of expendi• tures for food, fuel, clothing, shelter and medical services and supplies Shelter .includes lodgings, whether in hostels or otherwise, and allowance for rent, water and light. In August, 1933, the allowance for shelter war extended to cover home owners. Ontario was the first Province tc make provision for medical service: and supplies. The Dominion does not share in this expenditure. Over 14,000 Men in Camps Municipal Relief Works are being proceeded with in over 300 munici. parities. The cost of these works will amount to about $13,000,000, of which about $8,000,000 is for labour. The Dominion and Province each contribute one-third of the cost of la- bour. These Municipal Relief Works include road construction in counties and townships amounting to about $4,000,000, Road Works have also been under. taken by the Northern Development Department, and 140 camps have been established in Northern Ontario, both in connection with the con• struction of roads and the construe tion of the Trans -Canada Highway Over 14,000 men are in these camps. In addition about 16,000 residents are employed in road construction is Northern Ontario. 20,000 Men to be Employed Provincial Highways are to be con• structed at a cost of about $8,000,• 000, and about 20,000 men are to be employed indirectly on such works. The expenditures on account of Re- lief Works and Direct Relief from the commencement of same to De. comber 31st, 1933, are- as follows: Year Province Dominion Municipal • Total 1930-31 .... $ 4,670,899.00 $ 4,632,763.63 $ 9,900,000.00 $19,203,663.53 1931-32 13,488,257.54 12,358,180.95 12,500,000.00 38,346,438.49 1932-33 .... 16,754,627.65 14,490,873.43 7,950,041.53 39,195,542.63 $34,913,785.09 $31,481, 818.03 $30,350,041.53 $96,745,644.65 Able-bodied Men Must Work In connection with Relief Works, the men employed in the season of 1930-32 numbered 48,000, and the number of days' work provided was 2,384,000. In the season of 1981-32 the number of men employed was 115,000, and the number of days' work provided was 4,800,000. In the season of 1932-33 the number of men employed was 27,000, and the num- ber of days' work provided was 1,- 600,000. In this season no grants were made for Municipal. Relief Works. The municipalities have always been advised that where an able - 'bodied man is given Direct Relief,' he is expected to do an amount of work somewhat equivalent to the amount of relief given. Any work done in this way is not included in the above figures. In the season of 1930-31 Direct 'Relief was given to 60,000 persons; in the season of 1931-32 to 203,000; and in the season of 1932-33 to 483,- 000. 83;000. There are now on Direct Relief about 100,000 less than the previous highest figure.
