SYNOPSIS
On board the Orizaba, Camilla
Dean, beautiful American gid,
has many admirers but is especial-
ly interested in Ronald Barker
who comes on board at Marseil-
les. He is half American; edu-
cated at Oxford, and interested in
the Palestine situation. When
Camilla discovers that he .is also
El Kerak, an Oriental • Robin
Hood . in the East, she seals her
promise of secrecy with a kiss.
That night she and' other voyag-
ers are. roused• by the sound of
shots through Barker's ,window.
'The captain questions passengers
for alibis. Barker explains he had
been warned of ° danger and had
taken precautions. He was lying
on his lounge. The would-be as-
sassin had 'aimed at his bed.
"Have you any suggestions to offer
which might lead to the criminal?"
al?"
"No sir. None." .
"You l,eceived a wireless message
yesterday, didn't you, a code message
which contained' the words `dog' and.
`Saguache'?"
"I
"Would you mind translating?"
"Not at all, Saguache was the
name of the man who sent the mes-
sage. The word 'dog' is just a sym-
bol. it clarified my plan's of opera-
tion for my visit to the Tigris where
a certain mound shaped like 'the
head of a dog was to guidie me."
-"All right,, Mr. Serrano. Will you
hold yourself in readiness to help
me in this investigation by answer
ing further questions, if necessary�2�
"Of course, sir:" /
The little Spaniard sat down, car-
essing h'i's little beard in the patriar-
chal manner.
Captain Simpson consulted a paper
in the purser's hand.
"Mr. Mark Arenberg."
A tall young man with a long nose
and pale face stood tip beside the
captain's desk. He had a husky
voice and regarded his inquistor
with heavily 'lidded eyes.
"You ;were on A deck last .night
just after one o'clock?"
"Yes, sir. I had been, sitting aft
by the smoking room listening to Mr.
McManus, singing in the. bar."
"Oh! Was anyone with you?"
"Yes, Mr. David. Levinstein."
"Did you hear any. shots?"
"Yes, sir. Two 0r thi•ee'shots.very
Gay, Captain Simpson dismissed all
of his vr''s'itors.,except Camilla and
Ronald Barker. "Was it possible for
you to recognize any of these men,
Miss Dean, by their appearance of
voices?"
"Not their appearance certainly. It
was too dark.. 1 seemedto recall cer-
twin tones of voices, but I couldn't at-
tempt to identify them."
"Mr. Barker, could' you say that
any of these men bore a resemblance
to the man you fired at?"
"No, I couldn't sir."
On the deck outside Camilla said
to her companion, "Mr. Barker--"
"Ronnie," he corrected.
She flushed prettily: "Did yau tell
Captain Simpson of your thedries in
regard to those wireless messages?
"There was no need to. I'm al-
ready in wireless communication with
Cairo and London. I've! found out
•
what I wanted to know. By bilis time
James Robinson of Harwich Crescent
is watched by Scotland Yard.
Camilla walked rapidly aft because
she didn't' want any talk that would
recall their 'intimate moment last
night. Everything was different in
the garish sunlight of the morning.
But his long stride caught up with
her before she had: gone far. "Please
don't go," she heard him say. "I still
need your help."
She paused. His eyes,, she discov-
ered, were a bright blue as if accus-
tomed to reflecting the sky, and there
was an uncompromising frankness in
diem. "If you're not bored, you can
still help me."
Ronald Barker and 'Camilla were
quite alone on 'the upper deck.
"What is it you want me to do,
darling?" she asked him impertinent-
ly.
He studied) .her for a moment weigh-
ing the wisdom of an, idea. •
"Yesterdlay morning you and I were
just shipboard acquaintances. Last
night you pia.ced me tinder lasting ob=
ligations. We s wore an eternal
friendship. Do you still believe in
that?"
"Yes, I do-"
He lighted his cigarette. He lower-
ed his voice as he came closer to her.
"I'm going to trust you with my see -
ret -with .my reputation - possibly
with my life. I hope you're not
frightened."
"It's just this. Joseph Asad, whose
friendship you made on the Atlantic
crossing from New Yoark, is not Jos-
eph Asad, but Hassan Isar, a man

elling together. Their destination
was Haifa.
The captain ebnsulted the purser's
list again. "Mr. Mahmoud Daroud."
Near the door a man got up. • He
was tali, hie hair nightly curled and
oiled, his coritplexion• the color of a

"I am. M.y grandfather was a cou-

"Good' enough credentials, Mr. Da-

"You know of Mr. Barker?"
'Of course. Who in Cairo does
not?"
"Mr. Daoud," Simpson went on, "a

have reason to believe that Ha an
Isar has had something to do with
the escape I of Osmar Khali from,
the Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem.
It was Osman Khali who incited the
terrorism in Palestine, the riots a-
gainst the Jews and against the Bri-
tish who were trying to protect them.
That's why we locked him up. It all
happened when Asad, was in Ameri-
ca."
"Very clever. Nobody would sus -

land. `o you see for the present I'm
going to watch Serrano. I'm going to
leave Asad to you."
"To me!"
Ronald Barker nodded and brought
out cigarettes and lighter. "Don't you
appreciate the flattery of this assign-
ment? 'Every agent of the British
government in ,Palestine is looking
for Osman Khali. 'They've 'gone over
Palestine anis Syria and they can't
find him. He has moved on into Ar-
abia. Do you follow me?"
She smiled. "I think I'm a little

Khali is hiding."

spoke in the easy tones of one thank-
ing another for the light of a cigar-

"No trouble at all," she said. "You
just want me to vamp the clevere:et

what you want to know. Have you
thought how distasteful this' commis-
sion might be to me if I really cared
-for' you. Or do you think my car-
ing for you ought to be all the more
reason why I should do what you
want?"
"Oh, I say, Camilla . "
But she had fled down the com-
panion ladder and away from him.

to have displaced' her cousin Camil-

"That's true," laughed Stephanov.
"He's not content to wait for his
houris in paradise."
"Well, Cami'1la, Dean is no houri,

better tell Joseph to watch, his step."

"That shouldn't make Joseph very

"They are both playing a game." .(
"In which Camilla Dean nhas a
part?"
Having dropped her poison in his
ear, she gave a laugh, and turned to
go in to dress for dinner,
Stromboli was putting on a show
as they approached the 'Straits of

Said Dr. Robert Ley:
"The Ge°r•man race -that is our

There.is a marked difference be-
tween that statement and .the atti-
tude of Britain and the United'S°tates.
It presupposes a submission, not ',f
the divine right of the German race
as it assumes, but of the divine right
of a limited number of gentlemen

speak of a divine right to rule. From
whence comes that authority? From

BIRTHDAY 'PICTURES
Easy to take -just a short time exposure with the camera on a firm
support -this shot is part of a charming birthday series. Keep your
camera busy on birthdays; they're fine for pictures.
SOONER or later, every member
of -h' family has a birthday -and
here is one occasion when you can
really •turn your camera loose for
a- first-rate story -telling series of
pictures.
Of course, the ,center of a child's
birthday is the cake with candles.
That's why we picked it for our pic-
ture here. But there's a lot more to
a birthday --anybody's birthday.
The preparations -the presentation
of gifts -the party, if there is one
-all these make good snapshot ma-
terial. If it's a child's occasion, with
your small son or daughter playing
the leading role, you can start tak-
ing pictures sei'eral days in advance
-pictures emphasizing the rood be-
havior that always precedes the
big day. '
The idea, in making a series of
this sort, Is to tell a complete story.
The more details yeti can show,
the 1 etteryour Story --and • It's inot'e
satisfying When you look - back
through y
h o r album.

get one picture as he receives the
package; another as he begins to
unwrap it; a shot of his expression
when he sees the gift; another at
he loads up for the first time; and
a final allot as he contentedly puffs
away. This is clearly much better
-and far more interesting -than
just one shot, or Several all alike.
It's quite as simple to take a
series as a few "single", shots. Juet
set upjour_.two photo lights -and
as long as your subject stays in the
sante spot, the exposure won't
change. So, all you need do is
watch 'for changes in pose and eft-• '
pression. The photo bulbs and high.
speed film make snapshots easy.
A shot of the Bake, lighted only by
the sautes, will call for 'a short
time exposure -gay two to three
seconds --with the camera piaeed on:
a firm, 'solid strpfiort.
