CHAP'&ER XII., the radioplane down the akidway,call-
ing• back to McKay to drive Mrs. Wal-
den across the Island to Seaville. The
radioplane struck' the quiet water of
the harbor, the staccato whirr of the
two propellers rase to a screech. They
were off in a cloud of spray.
The flight to Seaville was'only a
matter of minutes, for there was no
time to lose before darkness.
At Seaville a hasty survey disclosed
no sign of the "Bacchante" but there
was a tremendi us crowd down on a
another name. There is something bulkhead and they could see them wav-
weird, fascinating about the very idea, ing and. hear their shouts. Dick

"But what of Ruth?" queried Dick,
"Ask Vire. She has come to tell
you all she knows.
"Tell us, Vire," 'cried Dick.
"Well, you see, we found a duck
boat in the hold, a_boat for one. One
of us could get off only and Ruth made
the choice—insisted—settled it. It had
to be me.
"Don" you see?" explained Vira,
talking fast, "The jig was us for the
gang. All they wanted was to make
a clean get -away, take all the jewelry
and the money. They waited until the
last minute to get fifty thousand for
the Inter Circle and the other stuff.
But it failed. Then the only thing
that remained was to get away—with
Ruth—the ten -million dollar heiress,
as they speak of her..
"You know, the 'Bacchante' had
been taking the stuff off rum -runners.
It was sheer bluff, posing as revenue
enforcers. It was stored on the 'Sea
Vamp.' Every time anyone drove into
the city, they would take a couple of
cases or more to the Inner Circle or
the Garage. From the Inner Circle
it was distributed to the wealthy.
Bootleg aristocracy!"
Nita sighed, "Lip to a point, then,
perhaps Ruth didn't need saving from
herself as much as I thought. She was
on the trail of something big—this
conspiracy ... And she almost land-
ed her fish. Orly to get into trouble
from which it's taking all the skill
of Guy and Dick to save her."
Suddenly Vira's face beamed.
"Glenn's coming! I hear his engine!"
and out of the room she flew.
Garrick spread the net far and wide
to intercept the "Bacchante." He had
turned the radio world veritably up-
side down in the sear h.

Dick worked feverishly tuning up his

as Garrick watched.
"Teleutonratics?"
"Yes. You probably know it by

"We've got that Curtis and the

Curtis was sour; Rae nervously tri-
umphant. They had been deserted,

pensate for everything. Curtis did
not look so pleased. He was thinking
of the vanishing fortune and the frol-
ics he saw glimmering .away in the
pest.
As Garrick and Dick carne up, Cur-
tis took his eue from Rae. A clean.

"Talk about Kidd and Morgan and

had told him the "Bacchante" had
taken, Fast as the scout cruiser was,
it could not compete with the radio -
plane, Garrick, with his eyes glued
to a glass, swept the sea, They had
not been flying ten. minutes when Gar-
rick shouted above the rush of the
air, and: pointed further south. Dick
swung the plane in the direction indi-
cated and shortly the'"Bacchante"
came into view of the naked eye, far
out to sea.
As they watcher her, the "Bac-
chante deliberately turned .rad;headed
back toward .them. Garrick trained
the glass toward it. What did it
mean?
"By heaven!" he exclaimed. "What's
that speck between us and hits. Can
it be someone. swimming? Ruth?"
Couln it be that Ruth had seen and
taken a last long chaece, that she had
gone cverboard, risking everything on
a Marathon swim with not a chance
in a million of making the shore?
As the radioplane carte nearer the
water and nearer the struggling swim-
mer it became evident tbat the race
between the plane and the cruiser was
a losing one for the cruiser.
"Here, Guy, take this plane. I'll
take the radio!"
Garrick seized the duplicate set of
controls. A moment later he had
taxied in spray and was rocking and
pitching a few feet from the swimmer.
It was ticklish business but ne man-
oeuvred until he was able to swing
about. Fortunately,the sea was cont-
paratively calm. As for Ruth, she
was still fresh. Het long-distance
swimming counted now in the balance
for her life.
Garrick, with a final effort with
Dick, dragged her aboard.
"Take care of her, Guy, for a min-
ute!" Dick turned to hire radio ap-
paratus and as he did so Garrick saw
that the "Bacchante," long before she
was beaten, had turned and was going
away at top speed. "There!" Dick
swung a switch. Like a bolt flew the
arrangement *overhead, a long torpedo-
like affair of aluminum, with wings
and pontoons for all the world like
the hydro -aeroplane on which they
were.
It was flying, with the buzz of a
hornet!
Dick pressed a lever, It swung in
:cs flight. "The principle of the thing
is that I use Hertzian waves to actu-
ate, relays on the radioplar.e. I can
sit here and send my little David any-
where to strike down Goliath!"
In the sunset Vario on the "Bac-
chante" must have seen it, sensed it,
for he knew something of Dick's work.
He changed his course. Instantly Dick
pulled a lever and the radioplane
changed its course by exactly the same
degree. It was like a conscience pur-
suing.
They could not see Vario beside the
ratan at the wheel. He had his revel -
ver. As the hornet swooped straight
at him, however, he fired once, twice,
three times at it. No marksmanship
of Vario's could stop the thing. He
seemed to realize it, For an instant
he hesitated, then quickly turned the
gun on himself and fired.
As Vario sank to the deck, Garrick
nerved himself for the explosion of
the radioplane. To his amazement the
little thing circled like a wasp, turned,
and started back.
"They'll stand by now," muttered
Dick, "Not a reason in the world to
send that little treasure ship to Davy
Jones!"
It was late and dark when the'Bac-
chante" limped up and cast anchor off
the Seaville wireless station, towing
Defoe's radioplane and its mother fly-
ing boat.
Nita Walden had been sitting for
hours in her car by the beach in front
of the station. Suddenly she saw a
slim, dripping figure of a girl running
up the beach. She winked, stared
harder. "My Ruth—at last!" She
pulled the curly head down to her
and sobbed joyously.
Through her tears and hysterical
sobs Nita 'Walden saw Dick and Gar-
rick just behind him. She opened her
arms and drew Dick toward herself
and Ruth,
"I suppose I may have the job of
detective watching the wedding pres-
ents?" laughed Garrick,

The Likable Woman
The woman who. has many Eeiends
and who lands a wedding ring is the
one who is interested in other. people.
Most men do not wan', a dumbbell
for a wife, but they like about the
hearth, one who has something to
contribute to the entertainment; but
she must be ever ready to drop all her
interests and devote herself to her
husband's whenever they come into
the offing.
Men admire beautiful women—at
first. But they, marry interesting• wo-
men, sympathetic . and kindly women,..
women who are good sports and do
not wear chips—on their' shoulders.
The likable woman fs adaptable.
She fits in anywhere and is easy to
get along with. She is interested in
the things others are interested in
and does not rub people's fur the
wrong way,
The Time Budget
The housewife who has s. sense of
being driven, always behind and un -
a' a to catch up, might arrange her
work to better Advantage by. use of
the time schedule.You would not
think of building a house with a
vague idea that the kitchen would be
somewhere in 'this general direction
and the parlor in that. Rather you
make a blue -print specifying the ex-
act dimensions of each. room, the ma-
terials needed, and the cost.
In, so vital a matter as one's daily
program of work, it is equally import-
ant
mport
ant that you have a definite plan.
Given twenty-four hours a day, what
will you do with them?
Make a list of all the tasks which
must be done each' day; meals pre-
pared; dishes done; care of person,
or persons if there are children;
straightening up the house, beds to
be made, and so on. List .asks to be
done only once a week, or twice a
week, or once in three weeks or
otherwise.
After each item, write the time it
takes to do it. At first this will be
merely an estimate, It may be neces-
sary to keep records for a week or
two to correct the figures.
List the things you want to do and
estimate how much time should be
allotted to them. Be sure to allow
for interruptions, for company, sick-
ness, family and neighborly demands.
Do not try lo cheat yourself nor ex-
pect the impossible of yourself. You
cannot fool Mother Nature nor Fath-
er Time.
Now add your list and see how
much time this program requires and
how It fits into the workint, hours of
the day, week, and month.
If it requires more time than there
is, or more than you can devote to it,-
tudy the whole list carefully and see
what you can ettt out or cut flown.
Some tasks you can - omit. without
hurting anything but a habit. ' some
you can do less often. Some you can
delegate to others. For some you can
substitute a ready-made product.
Some you can do more quickly. Some
you can simplify.
At any rate" you, have looked the
bugaboo in the face and better man-
agement, better contentment, and a
wiser and richer life are certain to
result from it.

THE FINISH
The aeronaut does not worry so

way he makes his landing. The race

the Prince's s
Cabin
the Right -Hand Side of
the $hip
It was not by pure accident that
the Prince of Wales travelled to Afro
ca in a special cabin on the right-
hand nide of the ship—the starboard
side.
The Prince occupied .this position
in -accordance with tine -honored ship
etiquette. As a very distinguished
Passenger he naturally takes the
place of honor on a ship -and that is
always the starboard side.
The origin of this practice is lost
iu sea antiquity, but you will find the
rule observed in every ship, whether
the cabin of honor is au elaborate
self-contained . Sat in a luxury liner
or a tiny, siugie-bunk room in a small
tramp.
The captain of the ship inevitably
has his own quarters on the starboard
side, and even when the design of the
deckhouse brings them amidships, his
door opens out on the starboard side.
Therefore a special passenger mush
always be made comfortable on "the
Old Man's" side of the deck. Likes
wise, he always sits on the captain's
right at table. The 'Prince of Wales
does, of course.
Ocean Etiquette.
These two little points of sea etre
quette are as rigidly observed as the
showing of the green light_ on the
starboard beam at night.
Many a little tramp steamer boasts
only one tiny spare cabin, and al-
ways it is on the starboard side.
For eleven months out of every
twelvethat cabin is used as an extra
storelecker, and it houses a mass of
junk; but now and again the junk is

Soap and Water
Good for Plants
Constant watchfulness is necessary
to keep house plants free from in.
sects. Most of these insect are small
and they may not be noticed until the
plant Is literally covered. When such
a condition develops often the most
senaibie thing to do it to throw' the
plant away and buy a new one. To
keep planta free from insects com-
mercial
oramercial products and (tome remedies
are suggested.
Plant lice, or aphids, are among the
common pests. They are small green
insects that reproduce rapidly. A 2
per cont, nicotine dust is the simplest
control and within a few minutes af-
ter
tter the dust has been applied the lice
drop from the plant. A solution of
one quart of water, one-fourth ounce
of soap and one-fourth teaspoonful of
nicotine sulphate may be used as a
spray or dip. A teaspoonful of soap
chips may be substituted for the soap.
The greenhouse white fly attacks
geraniums, fuchsias, heliotropes and.
pot marigolds. The same dust used
for aphids may be used, but it is ad-
visable to brush up the insects soon
atter dusting them and burn them or
some may revive and fly back to the
plants. The immature forms of white
flies are tiny, scale -like creatures,
which attach themselves to the under
side of the leaves. To kill them' the
plant must be sprayed or dipped in
some solution. Soap and water, with
one quart of water to three-fourths of
an ounce of soap is as satisfactory as.
anything.
Boston terns, fuchsia, Jerusalem
cherry, or coleus may show small
tufts of cotton -tail material. This
substance has been secreted by mealy
bugs to protect their eggs and young.
A strong force of water from a hose
will break up the masses and kill the
eggs. The bugs also can be brushed
off with an old tooth brush. '
The red spider is neither a spider
nor an insect, but a spinning mite. I6
thrives in the dry, warm atmosphere
of the living room. As with the
mealy bugs it can be washed oft the
plant by a hose or sprayed with lain -
on oil,
Scale insects which attack palms,
aspidistra and rubber plant can be.
controlled by washing the leaves with
a sponge dipped in warm, soapy water.
Why Is a Cake ,Small?
A cake may be too small if not
enough baking powder or soda was
used to levan it; if too much liquid
has been used; or if it it baked In a
pan which is too large to fit the yield
of the recipe.
A TRUTH
It ie no less .true in this human
kingdom of knowledge, than in God's
kingdom of heaven, that no man shalt
enter into it, "except he become first
as a little child:'—Bacon,
