NAN-6Y BA1iR ,MAVITY, • SYNOPSIS `Sheila O'Shay, formerly - a popular' actress, and 310W the wife of the •young milloinaire Don Ellsworth, lisappearo, lerovin no trace behind her. Don visits Dr. Cavanaugh the famous' criminologist, and confesses that hts married dire has been unhappy. Dr. Cavanaugh agrees to invest:. to the case. Pater Piper, re - Porter of The Herald, is sent to Dr. Cav- anaugh's home. By accident he meets the Doctor's. adopted daughter. Barbara Cavanaugh, and learns she is interested. in the case. She confesses sh0 was en- gaged -to Don'Irlieworth before his mar- riage, and persuades Petertoleave with- out seeing Dr. Cavanaugh. CHAPTER VIIL.-(Cont'd,) And meanwhile? Meanwhile Peter had a great "follow" story. Dr. Cav- anaugh, when he -had moved west - from New York, officially retired— though his reputation made complete retirement impossible—bad introduc- ed Barbara as his daughter, which, indeed, she legally was. The roman- tic, Cinderella story of her adoption -from a foundlings' home, her secret engagement to Don Ellsworth, the spectacular young multi-millionaire— a great Story! And written as Peter Piper would write it—delicately, with the fai;yltale quality in it. "There's a little thing like loyalty." Peter found that, remembering her words, he remembered almost audibly the tone of her voice, like a little wind in the treeo. But his loyalty was to the paper, not to a girl whom he had seen only once, just as hers was to her father, not to him, Personalities must not interfere. That was the code. He re- membered the legend of "Big Jos" McCullen, owner of a paper be Sacra. mento, who had refused to suppress the story in his own paper when his boy went wrong and was picked up for stealing an automobile in the course of a drunken spree. That was Om honor of newspaperdom. And yet—was it all warped, per- verted, narrow, this vode that the paper came before all else? There w4Ys more to life titan the newspapers, This girl's life— Peter shot across a boulevard stop sign, and listened with undeustomed meekness to the irate words of the traffic cop, The neatly printed "Press Car" sign on Bossy's grimy windshield goaded the policeman to fury. "You reporters think you own the earth!" he bellowed. But Peter did not respond with the expected "comeback," and the police. man, somewhat disappointed by a teo• complete success, retired to his corner, However, the encounter served to clear Peter's mind, He found that, unawares, he had arrived at a "de- eision. It was a compromise decision,' and he admitted with wry honesty that it marked his first divigation from the singleness of his newspaper code. Nevertheless, he knew what he would do. He would "hold" the story, but he would keep an eye on Bar- bara Cavanaugh. He gave that host- age to his gods. And if it "broke big". —then there would be no question. If there was a direct connection be- tween Barbara Cavanaugh and the disappearance of Sheila O'Shay, ho would have no choice but to act. For the present, Jimmy would have to be satisfied with a report of "nothing doing," and if he didn't like it, be could jolly well do the other thing! At the thor ght of facing Jimmy Sears, Peter felt unaccountably, and most un- justifiably, like a champion defending with his body a damsel in distress. And Barbara would have no inklings of this sacrificial heroism -she did not know Jimmy. Sears! When Peter banged open the door of the local room, however, he Was immediately aware of fresh hurri- canes. "My God, Piper, I .thought you were dead!"

Copec b'o-oy!", He snatched the telephone with one hand and thrust a bundle of copy paper across the desk with the other, "Shoot this down. More to come on the tule marsh story!" he shouted over his shoulder to the semi -circle of the copy desks, when metal cylinders bearing copy and galley proofs spouted clat- tering out of their long black tubes, or were sent rumbling Sown those some tubes to the composing room below. "You, PiPer, get busy on this. 'Un- identified body found in ,the tule marsh beyondlE] Cerrito, Go over to the city hall and get Camberwell of the -identification bureau: Find out what, if anything, they know. I've been waiting for you. You're the only man sure to get Camberwell, thanks to that story you wrote when he -was being razzed by the depart- ment. Tell him we won't print with- out permission, of course, but get him to give you something, It looks like murder!" The city editor pushed his eye -shade even farther back on his brow, at the angle, though far from the effect, of a mediaeval halo. His harsh voice was jubilant. Any one would have thought that murder to hien was a joyous occasion—as indeed it was. Peter exhaled a tremendous breath of relief. After all, •he had not iet the paper down, With a new .front- page story breaking, the affairs. of Barbara Cavanaugh .could well afford to wait, • "Romeo -on, hu-hu-hu-hoo," whistled Peter in a wailing minor, and darted crosswise to the traffic teethe city hall. CI•IAPTER IX. An air of triumph was plainly dis- cernible in The Herald local room. It manifested itself in tl'e demeanor of the managing editor, who popped in and out of bis private office at fre- quent intervals to confer with Jimmy; in the rushing to and fro of photo- graphers carrying large sheets of cardboard, whereon were spread still wet prints; in the Jack -it -the -box ma- terialization of a smudgy -faced boy from the composing room, waving a damp page prbof over which Jimmy and the managing editor bent with heads that almost touched. Jimmy jerked the receiver .from the jangling' telephone at his elbow. "I don't care what it isi' he snap- ped. "Iln.ess one of them's murder- ed, don't bother me. Here, Andy, take this call! Our east side man wants to unburden his mind about a kid elopement." Peter had returned from the city hall and gone straight to his type- wr,tcr, "mat di" he flung laconically over his shoulder to Jimmy at' he passed the dealt. "I'll give you twenty minutes—keep it down to three-quarters of a col- umn," Jimmy called after his retreat- ing back. A copy boy stood at Peter's elbow, seizing each page to be set into type as Peter ripped it from the carriage. When he had finished, he strolled over to the City. desk, his hands in his pockets. "Nobody else had got there. It's an 'exclusive' all right—and it's straight, Camberwell told me with his own ruby lips`that'Cavanaugh's to be called in. In fact, he was waiting for hint to arrive for a conference when I left" "It's a pretty 'lair yarn," said Jimmy. The managing editor darted out of sight again, The local room subsided to a pretense of ordinary routine. Jimmy's watch lay open on. the desk, and he consulted it at frequent inter- vals until a boy appeared with an armful of still sticky papers, the single red line, "Extra," in view across the top. The city editor snatch ed one of the papers from beneath the boy's arm but hie eyes continued to stray to his watch until, a quarter of an hour later, tee cries of the, news- boys were wafted up from the street below. tl beat eon street - W m the byfit teen minutes!" Timmy announced in a tone of deep' and almost prayerful gratification. 'The contentment . of The Herald office was by no means shared by the two men who sat chatting in a book - lined room on the top floor of the city hall—the room from 'which Peter had made a whistling exit not long before. Tho chatwas not an ordinary chat, the twee men were not ordinary men and the books, for that matter, were not ordinary books. Several Shelves were given over to volumes nearly two feet ,high, labelled with yearly dates instead of titles and containing 'lists of arrests. Their size and warn cov- ers gave a certain mediaeval antes - peeve to a room by no means devoted to mediaeval concerns, Camberwell, head of the identifica- tion bureau, sat tilted far back in a 1 uw(vel chair which.sglaeaked rhythm- ically us he rocked to and fro.

Bach room will • be built' in a not too severe style, tor the alcove be- loved of our parents will be replaced by the music, reading and writing departments and the /television cabi- net, all communicating with the main room but separately lit. Protection From Noise 'One of the great essentials of such houses built In the midst of a city full of high-speed transport vehicles, 'airplanes and underground tubes will be that they must prove free front vibration and noise. We cannot absorb world-wide informa• tion and lose our parochial attitude of mind if we are constantly remind- ed of immediate surroundings by un- wanted nolle: Human noises need scarcely be included, for education will hate prevented the emisbion of unnecessary speech and may -take our children's children into depart- mental nurseries. The importance of reasonable si- lence cannot be exaggerated, Noise is indicative of waste, while the whole body is sensitive to oscilla- tions of the air, which may even by outside the band of audio frequency. The science of acoustics is new, Radio leas taught us that sensitive hearing is an important faculty, while talking pictures are each day being so improved that a degree of mechanical reproduction is likely to be achieved which will prove ladle. tinguishable to the original in the minds of the average listener. Our houses will probably be double walled and in the intervening space will be such materials as not only conserve heat but which provent the ingress of noise over every frequ- ency likely to be encountered, and which, in eonjunetion with absorb- ent plasters, will prevent the 1'ever- beration of unwanted sounds in our own rooms. Internal Windows Street noises are already prohibit- ed in many areas, while the opening of a window on toe, main%thorough- fare can even now render speech im- possible In a number of dwellings, Windows will not open on to main streets but into ventilating appliances fed with fresh air, while the em- brasure of a window will always be covered by materials or reflectors which absorb sound Instead ot throw- ing it into the room as is at pr e,sent permitted,al Of one finpoint the world may be very certain: That.the house of the future will avoid the necessity for normal physical effort, and that People who live in those days of in- telligent development will regard ns with the mine mixture of pity and •contempt which we reserve for the dirty untutored savages who Were loath to pert with the mud -hut dreams of their animal minds, Man, Not Auto, Is Cause of Most of Car Accidents One of the most interesting findings in safety research was the recent an- nouncement that the automobile it- self is least responsible for traffic ac- cidents. This statement was made by the Albert Russell, I7rskine Bureau for Street Traffic Research, Harvard 'Uni- versity. It was declared that the mod- ern vehicle is such that human nature Sas not as yet adjusted itself to take advantage of Its full efficiency. "Not only in number but in percent- age these defects in humanity run so far ahead of defects in the automobiles es to make it Instantaneously obvious that we have only ourselves to blame," said Dr. Miller McClintock, director 06 the Erskine bureau. "The .simple fact that mankind has rented" lp a medhanieal device which functions • far more efficiently than• does man himself. The remedy appar- ently is education and more education to convince inan that he must five up to his car."

Sod Stone 71..00 'to rescue Guy Stone,.Jed's younger brother, iron the cruel"Chinese bandits, Disguis- ing their plane as: a dragon, they raid the bandits' eatnp, Z�I I searched .hurriedly through the r esoa•tee fonts for Guy. A.few hun- dred feet away Lieut. Jed Stone stood guard with his terrible dragon plane gloaming blue in the darkness. Prom the rim of the dark forests the band- its' rifles flashed and stray bullets rained about the Camp. Jed re- turned their ,fire with bursts' from tris machine gun. ,.Tat -tat -tat. Tat• tat -tat, And the echoes resounded u hundred times from the 'Meek mountain cliffs, Adding to the ter- ror of the situation the thunder which had rnmbier] in the distance now rolled up overhead with a muffled roar. - b7ashliglit in hand I searched. The tents were in the utmost •confusion.. Dirty cooking utensils, fragments of cooked, food, wore all strewn about holler skelter fashion. The air was close and hot. Scottie sniffed and sneezed, with disapproval. No sign of Guy Stone in the first tent; We ducked under the back wall and made for the next one. As we ettn across the open space, a rifle went, Crack! A bullet whipped by my arm. Those bandits were better shots than most Chinese, Trent tent to tent we went, and each time we showed ourselves a sniper's bullet, went, Spat! Still no sign of Guy Stone. I had search- ed the last tent without success, and turned to .go, heart -broken. Scottie was sniffing at . a heap of rags. He wouldn't budge away, and continued pawing at the rags and howling to himself. I turned my flashlight on the litter, and there at the very bottom, more dead than alive, was Guy Stone. Cutting his bonds, I shook hien well to''bring back circulation Into his numb arms, and, -logs. Then 'I helped him from tent to tent. Bach time we showed ourselves;' we were greeted with a regular fusillade of shots: The bandits, enraged at los- ing their captives were grayling bold- er and creeping 'closer. Jed rushed to meet us, and. In a moment we lift- ed Guy` into the plane:' Boosting Scottie over into the cockpit, I fol- lowed the tee brothers, and in an- other momeut'we were rushing down the field, A group of bandits, headed by the Chief, broke from the cover of the woods, •''ring as they came. Realiz- ing that they had been duped by our dragon, their rage knew no bounds. They planned to riddle our plane as we passed. The storm which had hold in cheek, now broke. Amid the crash of thunder, the rain name down he sheets, Then Jed turned Mose hie machine gun. Stopping in their tracks, the bandits turned and made for the woods as fast as tbey could run - "'Give her the gas", said Stone. And I did. Whirr bump - bump-• bump. It wasn't the ' smoothest 'place in the world to take off, but we weren't spend. Ing much time picking an d choosing that night. Off the ground we went, Higher and higher. Soon we sailed far above the valley, and passed through the storm out into bright, clear moon- light. We were soaking wet, but happy. After midnight we landed In Shanghai.

Garden Charm We turned a corner and') saw be- fore me one of the prettiest cottages I have ever seen- A low, sloping roof of thatch, golden brown where it lead been mended, rich brown and green in the alder part, The body of the cottage was white, with a fine tree at Cluster Roses, the Seven Sisters, I think It Is called, growing over the porch and on the walls, The garden was one mass of bloom, a wonderful garden—as artists say, "juicy" with color. Standard Roses, Sweat Williams, Hollyhocks, patches of Violas, Red Hot Potters, Japanese Anemones, a hedge of Sweet Peas "all -tip -toe for a ftighe," as Beats has it, clumps of dahlias just coming out, with red pots on stioks to catch the earwigs; an old lavender hedge grey -green. A rain butt painted green; round a corner, three blue - colored beehives; and all about, emelt flowers—I could not mention bait of them. Bushes of phlox, for instance; and great brown -eyed sunflowers clacked across with wealth of seed; and tali spikes of larkspur into the summer shies; and carnations tenon- ed in their grey grass or tied to sticks, A worn birtpk pathway lead- ing through 1t ali. The tailor watched the effect on me anxiously, I stood with one hand on the gate and dranit in the beauty of it. Set, as the place was, in a bower of or- chards, it looked like a jewelled nest, a Oleo out of a fairy tale, every- thing complete. The diamond panes of the windoWe with neat muslin cur- tains artains behind them, with flue geran- iums in very red pots on the win- dow -sill, were like friendly eyes beaming pleasantly at the passing world. To a -tired traveller making his way upon that road, each a sight would bring delight to Ilia eyes, and cause him, most certainly, to pause before the .glad garden. If he were ,a romantic man he would take off his hat, .. , in honor of the peace that dwelt over all. • Like a rich illuminated page the garden glowed among the trees—like a jewel of maty colors it shone in its velvet nest; The tailor could restrain Himself no «longer. He - said, "As neat as anything you've seen, sir?" "Perfect," said I. "As much as a man could want." • I3e walked before men down the garden path and called, "Rose," through the open door. In another minute I was shaking hands with the tailor's sister. In appearance 311e was as e,pot- le at s y clean as her muslin Curtains. She waste tiny woman of about forty -live, very quick in her move- ments, with a little rd-unct red face and very bright blue eyes, She wore, in my honor, a black eiIk dress, and a black silk apron and a large cor'nellan broochather neck. "Pray step inside, sir," she said, throwing open the door of the parlor. —Dion Clayton . Calthrop, Iii "The 0ha1'm of Gardens."

Ill former centuries•• it tire doubtedly would have been taken by everybody for some supernatural portent and might have caused seri- ous riots or panics. The luminous arc spread almost horizontally across the northeastern sky in the Iate even- ing of June fourth, nearly in a ,straight line but with enough curva- tura to make it resemble a very flat rainbow except that it formed a band { of gleaning silver instead of the us - nal rainbow colors, Watchers at London saw this mysterious are maj- estically sink below the northeaai l ern horizon, as though a gigantic searchlight far to the eastward were being revolved very slowly out of sight. New and unknown engines of war being tested by some secret enemy, strange forms of the North. - 1 e1'11 Lights never before observed or effects of some distant volcanic erup. tion or fa11 of meteors, were among the explanations proposed by lay ob- servers. Scientific men thought at first of some unusual form ot halo around the sun or moon, forming part of an ordinary ring halo of excep• tional size and with part of the ring below the horizon. it was pointed out, 'however, that neither the sun nor the moon was iu position at the moment to create such a halo and also that the mysterious aro sunk below the horizon too rapidly to fit this explanation. The theory now regarded as most probable is that the are was formed by light from tile earth or the shy reflected from an exceptional band of very high. clouds too Alen to be seen directly. Education and Industry Mancheetsr Guardian: It Is not ea much in eneleney as in moral values that we now fall short, Even ,low we can produce enough for every mem- ber fo the community to be alive and healthy, to appreciate all that is best in civilization, to live complete- ly. The problem. is to distribute our abundance; and we fail to achieve that rather because we are uneducat- ed, lack understanding of what really matters, than because we are incom- petent. If we were educated in a real sense we should not allow want and overproduction, idleness and over- work, to exist side by side.
