Perhaps you would ask hum to ring me up in the morning." He replasal the receiver on the hook. Reotirrg his chin in his hands, he began to read front the typewritten pages before him. His assistant's re- peat was conceived as follows: Re Mr. Nicol Brinn of Raleigh House, Piccadilly, W. I. Mr. Nicol Brinn le an American citizens, born at Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 15, 1884, He is'the son of John Nicol- as Bs4mi of the same city, founder of the firm of J. Nicola Brinn, Incorpor- ated, later reconstituted under the style of Brmn's 'Universal Electric Supply Corporation, Nicol Brinn is a go-acloate of Har- vard. Ile has traveled extensively in nearly all parts of the 'tverIcl and has accese to the best society of Europe and America. }Ie has a reputation' for eccentricity, has won numerous sporting events as a gentleman rider; was the first airman to fly over the Rockies; took part in the Uruguay rebellion of 19.04, and held the rank of lieutenant colonel of field artillery with the American farces during the Great War. He has published a wcrlc on big game and has contributed numerous travel articles to American period- icals. Ott the death of Mr. Brinn, senior, in 1914, he inherited an enor- mous fortune and • a preponderating influence in- the B,U.E.S,C. He ha never taken any active part in con- duct of the eoncern, bet.has lived a restless and wandering life in various parts of the world. Mr. Nicol Brinn is a confirmed. batchelor. I have been unable to find that he has ever taleen the slightest interest in any woman ether than his mother throughout his career. Mrs. J. Nicolas Brien is still living in Cin- cinnati, and there is said to be a strong bond of affection between mother and son. Isis movements on yesterday, 4th June, 1921, were as follows: : He came out of his chambers at eight o'clock and rode for an hour in the park, when he returned and re- mained indoors until midday. He then drove to the Carlton, where he' lunched with the Foreign Secretary, with whom he remained engaged in earnest conversation until ten min- utes to three. The Rt. Hon. gentle 'man proceeded to the House of Com- mons and Mr. Brine to an auction. at Christie's, He bought two oil paint- ings. He then returned to his chain-, bars and .diel not reappear again until; seven o'clock. Ire dined alone at- a small and unfashionable restaurant! in Soho, went on to his box at Covent Garden, where he remained for an hour, also alone, and then went home. He had no callers throughr.-ut the day. Deliberately Paul Marley had read' the report, only removing his hand from his chin to turn over the pages., Now from the cabinet at his elbow he took out his tin of tobacco and,' filling his pipe, lay back, oyes half closed, considering what he had learn-I ed respecting Nicol Brinn. He found himself helplessly tied. In which direction should he move and to what end? As was his custom' he teak a petite] and wrote upon a little block: "Find moans to force Brinn to speak." IIe lay hack in his chair again, deep in thought, and presently added the nate: "Obtain interview with Ormuz Khan." Just as he replaced the pencil on the table, his telephone bell rang. The caller proved to be his friend, Inspec- tor Wessex. "Hello, 11Ir. Harley,' said the in- spector. "I had occasion to return to the Yarcl, and they told me you had rung ep. I don't know why you are interested in this Ormuz Khan, unle.s you want to raise a loan." Paul Harley laughed. "I gather that he is a man of extensive means," Ire replied. "but hitherto he has re- mained outside my radius of observa- tion." (To be continued.) Will Rogers Has a Query About These Ocean Air Trips Burbank, Cal.—I just want to asst one question.

Questionnaires were sent out to the various parishes. Seventy-two of the replies stated that °ansbling and bet- ting were prevalent amortgwomen, and sixty-five said that there had been t a great increase since the wear. Twenty-eight parishes reported that women indulged in betting "to a very ,'great extent," and. some replied that women gambled as much as men, and often much more. In one urban in- quiry it was founcl!that in some streets 75 per cent.' of the women bet. SOME CHURCI-IES BLAMED The reasons given for the increased betting fever are: Craving for excite- ment,. more .money at the disposal of the masses, the desire to get some- thing far nothing, and the bad ex- amples set by the rich in evading the anti -betting laws. Some churches are also blamed for tolerating car playing for stakes in, their clubs, for collect- ing money for charitable purposes by means of guessing competitions and games of chance. Horse racing appears to be the most prevalent incentive to gambling; then follows football, then cards, dice, crown and anchor, pitch and toss, sweepstakes, greyhound racing, etc. DOG RACING HURTS: BOOKIES. Among men, however, dog lacing is becoming so popular in England that it is affecting attendance at the horse races and the bookmakers ' business. The new pastime has swept the coun- try with a speed and thoroughness unparalleled in the annals of sport. It has, moreover, given the great mass of people who bet on races a chance to bet on something they can actually watch. Many thousands of the absentee bettors have become de- voto•es of the dog -race course, and have ceased to "put their phoney on an 'orae." Reports from Ireland say that some of the entailer of the horse -racing meets have already been abandoned,. and bookmakers are transferring their main activities to the greyhound track. Attendance of big leatlr"a , both in Dublin anri the provinces, has /decreased considerably. Inquiriek made in the Enilisli provinces tell the rani: story. Three prominent Birnsinghara bookmakers have given up taking cunnus aces for horse race: and are canfiti.n t their activities to the gr•cyho -mole. Thirty-, five others, interviewed by a daily Paper, said their attendance at the racer hut become unnecessary. The story of •t Leeee bookmaker is ty} is .I.
