Puzzled, bewildered, almost frantic because I could not peer through cur tains behind which, I was convinced, a play of vital significance to me was being performed, I rode to Cherbourg. I was no wiser at the end of the rail way journey. Indeed, I was no wiser six days later when the Altaria was only a night from her dock in New York. During those six days I had observ ed, as closely as I could without draw ing attention to myself, Higgins and the one-eyed man. But although near ly every one of the first-class passen gers, including myself, exchanged words at some time or other with the millionaire, the one-eyod man never, to my knowledge, even exchanged a look with Higgins. The one-eyed man kept to himself; whenever he walked the deck, he was alone; he never seem ed to utter more than monoslyyables to his table-mates in the saloon; he neither offered nor accepted hospital ity in the smoke-room, but drank alone. On the .night before we landed, I attended the concert in the lounge. I sat with a couple of chance acquaint ances near the door, where we watch ed the various arrivals, exchanged banter with them, and gossiped, after the fashion of travelers, about their manners, appearances, probable in come, and flirtations during the voy- Pains in the Heart “Last winter while cooking in a lum ber camp the foreman told me to try Britain Seeks No Advantage In Capital Ships Mrs. Robt.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Bub yes, monsieur!” He almost capered with delight. As I have said, my French is feeble. Yet I managed to gather from his excited speech that all the applicants had been admitted to Club membership, that no only were there no dues, but that those members who were in need were to be granted annuities, that the Club was to have an outing upon a river steamer next week, on which occasion detailed plans were to be submitted to the member ship _by its benefactor. “D"id you meet the patron himself?” I asked. “M. Armand Cochet? But surely, monsieur. A noble gentleman, white of hair, and with a manner of a prince-” “I think I saw him enter then,” said I. “A man with a great nose?” “Monsieur is correct,” said the man. “And with an eye like a'n eagle, and the heart of a dove.. Of a truth, a great man.” “But certainly,” I agreed. I congratulated my friend, parted from him with -mutual expressions of esteem, and walked toward the- river.

Milburn Co.t . Limitedj Toronto, Ont, did not fear public interest in him. But it was among the ordinary probabilities that one or m-ore of the applicants attracted by his bizarre advertisement should be of the crim inal class. One would expect the White Eagle to be fearful of recogni tion by such a one. Still, beggars can’t be choosers, and I suppose the White Eagle felt that those in need of charity, for the Club was obviously a charitable affair, would not be inclin ed to question the source of the reven ues which were to be applied to their wants. But I had given altogether too much of my thought to the White Eagle and his affair. I confessed myself, finally, beaten. I could neither understand what could be the relation between the supercrook and the milloinaire, no;< why the White Eagle should in stitute a philanthropy. I vowed that I would think no more on these mat ters. If in the dealings between Hig gins and the white-haired man there lay opportunity for me, I would fore go it. I would not drive myself to distraction by futile speculation- Nor would I be ashamed of my inability to strip the disguise from the figure of Opportunity. I would await her next passing, hoping that she would be more easy- to recognize then. Even though one has rented a fur nished apartment, and has lived in it only a few months, one finds that lit tle by little one has acquired a con siderable quantity of possessions. I wa3 sailing in two days; I could not afford to be willfully extravagant; so I spent the rest of this day in deal ings with secondhand merchants, real izing a few thousand francs. The next day I spent in packing and ship ping my trunks and in purchasing some necessaries for the trip. And the next morning, promptly at nine o’clock, I passed through the train gates at the G-are du Nord, and enter ed a first-class carriage. Having seen to it that my bags were safely deposited in a corner of the carriage, I walked to the plat form to watch the rest of the travel ers. I strolled as far tse the train gates, puffing at a cigaret. I was about to turn back when I saw, accom panied by a maid, a valet and an obse- qious-seeming youth who was unques tionably the millionaire’s secretary, Mr. and Mrs- Higgins. I had not examined the passenger list, and so was surprised at their ar rival. But beyond a natural interest at the coincidence, I should have thought very little about it, had not they been followed through the gates by a man who was blind in one eye. Not merely that, but he was indis putably one of the group with which I had collided on a corner of the Rue des Saints Peres! I could not be mistaken; the fact that his dress was much improved, that ho had been to a barber, made no difference. In that first moment of shock, when I had realized that all these loiterers on the sidewalk were blind, the features of those whom I beheld were inera die ably impressed upon my memory. All my resolutions, that I would worry no more about Higgins and the White Eagle left me. Indeed, I watch ed eagerly for the arrival of the supercrook. But ho did not come, though I waited until the last moment before the train started. I I strolled through the train shortly • after we pulled out from the station. I The Higgins party occupied two pri- ■ rate compartments, as I could tell • from the half-opened doors. The one- : eyed man shared a compartment with 'three other people, American tourists- The one-eyed man, then, wiy not part of the Higgins entourage^ He had exchanged no signs of recognition with the millionaire as they ~passed through the train gates, although “Get the pearl?” he whispered. so I got a box and before it Was half taken I found that my nerves wore beginning to quiet down, and the pains were all gone from my heart, and I could lie down and go to sleep without any fear.” Price 50c. a box at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.

W. C. Bridgeman Denies It' Has Superiority in View, and Regrets MO * * puspicjons London.—W. C, Bridgoninn, First Lord of the Admiralty, was the chief guest at the annual dinner of th© Institution of Naval Architects last night, when he expressed regret that “unfortunate suspicions” should have arisen over the recent British pro posal that battleships of the future should be not more than 30,000 tons-, their gun calibre not more than 13.5 inches and the life of the ships pro- longer, He said that the same pro posal made at Geneva last year re ceived a “good deal of sympathy” from Americans and Japanese. Denying that it was Great Britain’s obect to secure any advantage in superiority of capital ships which had bean settled at the Washington Con ference, he declared: “Our intention is merely to arrive at a measure of limitation and economy equally fair to all three countries-” # Explaining why the British delega tion to tha disarmament conference at Geneva raised the question before 1931 when the whole subject of the Washington agreement comes up for review and reconsideration, Mr. Bridgeman concluded: “The reason why we felt it should be raised before then is that" if you are to lay down ships in 1981 you require to consider their designs two years beforehand. We have been perfectly frank in stat ing that we are not attempting to gain any advantage over any other country, ar»d I still hope and firmly believe that we will come to an agree ment with the other great naval powers. “I do not think we lost very much by our failure to agree at Geneva last year. We never quarreled. We left off with mutual respect for one an other. We found a great deal of com mon ground, and we shall look for ward with the belief that in the-future we will come to an agreement which will be of advantage to all the coun tries concerned.” —— ...--------»♦}» —— Little more aviation and we’ll have to start zoning the ozone.

Then, as Mr- and Mrs. Higgins passed through the wide doors, we all three gasped. Higgins was worthy of note. His white waistcoat was fastened Avith emerald buttons; he wo-re a solitaire diamond oh one hand that must have weighed a dozen carats and been worth a fortune. A solid rope of dia monds hung irom hi-s watch pocket, supporting a ruby fob. His vulgarities had formed the basis of half the smoke-room talk during the trip, but this ostentation, in excessively bad taste, outdid any thing else. But he was diffident as compared with his wife. It was not alone that her gown was cut so low that one blushed with vicarious shame, wondering that so ill-formed a woman should care to expose her muddy flesh. It was not that her pjewels were so expensive, even; it was that she wore such an unbelievable number of them. She seemed plastered with precious stones, until one forgot how low her- dress was cut. I had read of her jewels, but had assumed that the newspaper leged to have lost the money at poker.” The woman juror spoke up promptly: “I’ll serve. Maybe I’m wrong about capital punishment.” A London music hall artist was singing “Baby Face,” only he pro nounced it “Biby Fice.” This was not going at all well with his audience so a brother performer told him to sing it In better English. “Yes,” he replied, ‘‘but ‘Baby Face’ doesn’t rhyme with the next line, y’see—‘Tike your pllce.” Each fragrant flower that drinks the dew; Lucy at her wheel, shall sing russet gown and apron blue.
