John Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook —preying upon other thieves. At Monte Carlo he develops a desire to meet the clever tie who stole a pearl necklace from the throat of the Bar - mane d'Esterelle in the Casino. At the roulette tables Ainsley sees a young Englishman and his Ameri- can bride lose all the monty they have. More money is loaned to them by a Russian prince, and this, too, is lost on the tables. Ainsley suspects the Russian o,f some base rnotive. This suspicion is momentarily dispelled when he overhears the Russian grant the use of his hotel apartment to the destitute young couple.. Later, how- ever, he sees the Russian himself go- ing to the hotel. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. Prehistoric Eggs Found Japanese Dig Up Those of Iguanodon in South Mancbuna I stared through the crack in the door. Now that the plot had unfolded itself to its° sordid denouement I would have entered upon the scene and caused Beresford's release by corroborating his defence, but for one thing. That thing was an exclamation, apparently unnoticed by the others, that the Prince had uttered as Berestord first struck him. "Ach, Gott!" the Prince had cried. Now, that is a purely German excla- mation. And it was uttered by a man who previously had spoken, both French and English with a pronounc- ed Russian accent. Why did an ap- excitement, utter a German phrase without any sign of a Russian accent. Could it be because the Prince was really German? Now the Germans are not popular in France or Monte Carlo, which, de- spite its independence, is French in speech and tradition. Of course, a German desiring to enjoy the pleas- ures of the principality might cloak himself with another nationality, without any ulterior purpose save that I took the carriage, and three min- utes later I was in my apartment, ofl the third floor of the Hotel de Paris. Two minutes after that I was stand- ing in the corridor, watching in amazement, the scene in progress be- fore Apartnient Three -twenty-two. I had heard sounds of a struggle, of enjoyment. But there was some - voices raised in anger, and so had thing so diabolically clever in the stepped into the hall. Before the .open door of the Prince's apartment stood a group of men. The Russian was there, two clerks from the office downstairs, and two porters. These latter gripped the arms of the young Englishman. The Russian was speaking. "We were too quick fox him, mes- sieurs," he cried. "The minute I missed my keys, I hastened back here, and we are in good time to catch the thief who took my keys and has in- vaded my rooms." He spoke in French, and the clerks and porters 'responded with excited congratulations. "Search him!" cried the Russian. The young Englishman, obviously comprehending no French, demanded now the meaning of this assault upon. him "I missed my keys," replied. the Dairen.—Twenty-one fossilized eggs of what Japanese scientists say was the prehistoric iguanadon have been recovered from under twenty feet of drift deposits north of Dairen, where the South Manchurian Railway was excavating for bridge work, near the town of Chuantou onethe Tatzu River. The eggs, whigh are from two and one-half to four inches in diameter, are said by Dr. H. Murakami, chief geologist of the Dairen Geological In- stitute. to be in the neighborhood ef 10,000,000 years old, and to be un- questionably those of the iguanadon, a mammoth reptile somewhat akin to the dinosaur, Whose eggs were found several years ago in Mongolia by Ray Chapman Andrews. The iguanadon, a cold-blooded type of monstrous lizard, is said to have ranged from twenty to thirty feet in length, judging from bone fossils found in this same Tatzu River region. " It had four legs, the hinder ones being strongly developed and those in front shorter and less powerful. The huge lizard is supposed to have often walk- ed upright and to have used its fore feet to kill small animals or to pull down to its mouth the tops of the giant plants upon which it lived. We had suspected it. Late reports assert that several of the Nicaraguan bandit leaders were educated in the 'United States.—San Diego 'Union. Mr. Kellogg is said to be a likely candidate for the Nobel 'Peace Prize. We judge Sandino isn't on the jury of award.—Dallas News. Professor: "Which one of my an- cestors sprang from a monkey?" Voice from Rear: "The one with the sprained knee." "You are luelcy to get off as easily as you have done. Be assured that if yea offer any objection to the action of the authorities I will brand you as the thief you are." And then the porters and the clerks dragged the Englishman away. And still I waited. After all, nothing ser- ious would happen to young Beres- ford before tomorrow morning. Sev- eral' hours remained before dawn. Much might be done in that time. If the Prince were the criminal that I suddenly suspected him to be, there might be other ways of coping with the situation. (To be continued.)

WALTER ANDREWS LIMITED, 346 Yonge St., Toronto, Ont. Prince's plan that I could not, bring myself to believe that so utter a scoundrel adopted a masquerade solely for the purpose of enjoying the Ri- viera. He was, unquestionably, an impostor in his claim to princely rank. Was he something more than an im- postor? And I knew now that the answer to that question must be in the affirm- ative. For though he glared at Beres- ford with a hate that could have killed, the words -which he addressed to the hotel employes were mild. "I am a man of mercy," he declared. "I can forgive theft, and even assault upon myself. This young man, is ac- companied by his wife. She will suffer in his shame. Let him go free." * * * * * Now, so far as the Prince knew, no one on earth was a Witness to his con- versation with Berestord in the cor- Russian in English.

"You are a man upon the warm-hearted Frenchmen. 'with some shreds of common sense," he retorted. "Who will believe so ridiculous a statement?" I had not been observed by any of the party, and I stepped back, silently to my room, leaving the door slightly ajar so that I could still see and hear, without my espionage being detected.. And if it be wondered at that I did not at once come to the rescue of Beresford, let me state that I pre- ferred to watch the unfolding of the plot. You will confess that it was a rather pretty one. "But why have you done such a thing?" cried Beresford. "Ah, now you are prepared to be reasonable," said the Prince. He turn- ed to the clerks, and in rapid French spoke to them. "The young man has suffered severe losses. In a moment of despair lie has committed this crime. I ant not a harsh man. If he shows the proper spirit, ef repentance, I am inclined to forgive him." The French are a warmly impulsive moment. people. These members of that gallant raee applauded loudly the Russian's generosity. Understanding no Eng- lish, what followed was incomprehen- sible to them, and only served to prove to them that Beresford was a hard- ened rascal. For, in English, the Prince spoke to the unhappy pris- oner. "You wonder why I have clone this thing? You forget that Madame, your wife, is exquisite." "Don't mention her name, you swine!" cried Beresford. The Russian shrugged. "But it is essential. You see, my young friend, that it is possible for me, with a word, to cause these men to release you. I will utter that word on one condition. If you could assure me that Madame your wife would take a motor -ride with me, -tomorrow, to, let us say, Cannes, why then, Mr. Beresford—" * * * THERE is notlnng qu te equal to Aspirin for all sorts of aches and pains, but be sure it is Aspirin.

The woman in the incident was piqued because the Prince bad not ask- ed her for her photograph to put on his screen, and after dinner she went into the Prince's writing room when he was not there and put her photo- graph on the sereen. That act ended her acquaintance with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The present Prince of Wales probe engagements that he must receive be- forehand the names of persons who ably would regard such an act as a joke. He can take quite good care of are to be invited to meet him. The Duke of York since his mare adage has insisted on this rule being observed and King George makes the same requirement. The Prince has had definite evi- dence lately that certain well-to-do people have paid to become his fellow guests. And he has now made it a rule that in future when he has yea - son for believing that people have paid money for this purpose he will not, meet -them or the people who received the money. CUSTOM OF LONG STANDING his dignity. In the ordinary course of his life no one is ever unduly familiar with him. An interim payment of $1,511,950 was paid recently by the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coarse Grains Pools. Eight cents per bushel was paid on oats, except a few of the lower grades, and ten cents per bushel on all grades of barley, fax and rye. This brings the price paid to date, on oats up to 58 cents per bushel, arley 75 cents per bushel, rye 95 cents per bushel, and fax $1.75 per bushel, In such cases as have occurred the basis Fort William, Ontario. money has been paid to persons of For Rheumatism Minard's Liniment.

These people would for a "con- sideration" arrange to send well-to-do and socially ambitious people an invi- tation to meet the Prince. This practice prevailed in the reign of Ring Edward, who never objected to it. He took the view that the prac- tice benefitted his friends, as it cer- tainly did -210,000 was then what might almost be called the market rate for an invitation to meet the monarch at a country house and £20,000 was the price for an invitation to meet the sovereign with Queen Alexandra. King Edward stipulated, of course, that the persons asked to meet him in this way should be of good reputation and rea- sonably good position and socially pre- sentable. • King George, however, neither as Prince of Wales nor as sovereign, has ever lent his countLnance to this prac- tice. The present Prince intends to follow his father's example. In future any person taking money in exchange for an invitation to meet the Prince will be blacklisted at York House, as well as the ones who paid the money. ANOTHER "BLACKLIST." No one, however, is likely to be blacklisted at York House for an of- fence that caused several persons to be blacklisted at Marlborough, House in a former reign. The offense was that of undue familiarity with the heir apparent. A well known society woman—she is still alive—was a guest at Sand- ringham. Ring Edward, then Prince of Wales, had a large folding screen in his writing room on which he past- ed autographed photographs of his different friends.

Canadians who visited the United States last year left there $51,- 000,000. In 1927, 3,154;000 United States automobiles were admitted to Canada for touring purposes, an in, crease of 52 per cent. over 1926. The argest increase was in cars admitted for one day only largely as a result of the opening of the new Peace Bridge at Fort Erie. He had the big man down ina The Prince had been struck and chok- ed. Hie eyes told his desire for ven- geance. With vengeance so simple of accomplishment, why did he forgo it? Was it because he feared himself to appear in court, even as a complain- ant? Had he counted upon Beresford's yielding to his damnable suggestion? Had he never intended to carry his plot to its logical conclusion? Why? Because, in addition to being an im- postor, he was a criminal who dared not subject himself to the scrutiny of la court. And so, though by ft. word I could have saved young Beresford from further humiliation, I waited. "Monsieur le Prince is too soft- hearted," said one of the clerks. "Nevertheless it shall be done as he wishes." • In Monte Carlo scandal of any sort is unwelcome. Thriving on the baser passions of mankind the principality has no desire for the world to heat of matters, such as this.

Young Beresford broke loose from the detain- ing clasp of the two porters and was at the Russian's throat. I tell you, it was magnificent. He had the big man down in a moment, and would certainly have killed him had there been less than four men to drag him away from his victim. But our, were too many. Bleeding and bruised, they finally dragged him from the Russian.
