CHADWICK LAST WEEK: Jim Mallory tells Jeffery Hammond there is no ore in the Sonora hold. Hammond knows that, admits h eplayed along to keep Jim from reporting to the Coast Guard. He tells him the Sonora was scuttled by Bart Hal- loran, who was rescued, after being fired upon by a British war- ship in the American neutrality zone. She was transferring oil and rubber to a belligerent ship. Hammond offers Mallory $5,000 to give up the search and be silent, but Jim refuses. He plans to stay en the scene, believes there is something on the Sonora to sal- vage. Later Jim tells Lois Ham- mond he Is on the verge of bank- ruptcy. She refuses at first to believe him, says Mary Larsen would have gone to New York with Eric Forbes if she hadn't believed Jim would strike it rich. Jim in Oats he has -lost everything, and an enraged 'Lois accuses him of telling her off. s 5 0 CHILL TERROR CHAPTER XL Jim Mallory watched Lois walk ]away In her fury. Knowing that site was walking out of his life, 61e strangely felt no regrets. He shrugged her out of his thoughts, tossed his cigarette over the side,, and walked along the deck to the Jacob's ladder that would take Iiim down to the Aurora's boat. Mary Larsen stood at the rail- ing, the sun bright on her coppery hair- She turned and faced him, smiled and said, "Well, Jim?" He halted. His face was stiff. Be said, "So yon didn't go to New York as Eric Forbes' secretary." "No. I didn't intend to. Do yeu remember what you said to Me when I came aboard the Aur- ora back at the Landing, Jim?" "I remember." "Well, it does interest me. And I no longer care about the So- nora." "I know, I know. I'm the fair- haired boy now. I've got the So- nora right in my hand. You play the game safe, don't 'you?" "What do you mean by that?" ' Ber smile was gone now, and hu `t 'was in her eyes. "I'm trying to tell you that I was a fool to talk e f the Sonora that day, right after you had kissed me. I should have known it would make you grOuiid- lessly suspicious." "What I mean is," he said, "that you put •your money on the man who looks like a winner. Right now I look like a winner, to you. A short time ago it was Eric Forbes, and before Forbes that other fellow." * * * She bit her lip and stared at him wordlessly. Jinn's voice ran on, cold and hard with anger. "You •handed me a line about Bert Halloran being lost at sea, and all the while you knew he was merely hiding out and working on this Sonora thing. And you were working with him." "I didn't know he was alive un- til 1, found that cigarette case, Jinn," she said miserably. "I swear it." "All right, all right. Stick to your story." "Jim, believe nye—please." "Sure. Sure, I believe you. You •didn't kuow Elalloran was trying to bribe me, and threatening nie. You didn't know that lie was working With- Forbes, and you don't know what's so valuable aboard the Sonora. "And you didn't break with Hal- loran and Forbes and make a play for sue, right now, because I heat them to the punch. Sure, I believe your story. Go on with it. Tell me you're in love with me—so long as you think I'm in the money." 0 5 e She looked as thouglr slie had been slapped. There were tears in her eyes, and she kept biting hard on her upper lip. Finally she said, "All right, Jim." He went over the side and drop- ped into the Aurora's boat. He sat in the stern and didn't look back at the yacht as the seaman pulled for the salvage ship. Aboard the Aurora, he went to his cabin. Curly came In and found hint pacing back and Porth like a caged tiger. Curly Bates 'lighted his pipe and patiently waited. "Curly, I'ni the world's cham- pion fool," Jim 'finally said. "I fall in love with a girl who isn't FISHNET TURBAN Crocheted turbans have no peer in the realni of summer 1�tapeaux.

"I knew that girl meant trouble when she first came aboard the Ajax tug, Jim" "Site made a play for me be - game she thinks the Sonora is making mp •rich. What a laugh:" "What are we going to do about the Sonora, Jim?" "We're going .to go through her from stern to stern, There's no manganese aboard, but there's ' something else. I've a hunch it's something in the i first mate's cab- in:" Both got into diving suits the next morning and were lowered through forty fathoms of dark water They reaehed the Sonora's hull, With the ship lying on its side they had difficulty reaching deck in its vertical position. The crew above mauoeuvered • their booms, swinging the divers so they finally managed to reach the wrecked bridge. Lamps had been sent down. The light showed a shell had exploded la -the cap- tain's cabin and had damaged the cabin beyond. it which mush have been the first mate's, They worked for a time, mov- ing loose timbers with the pin- cers at the ends of the diving suits' metal arms, staying below its long as they could. They didn't get into the cabin in that descent, * * * Aboard the Aurora again. Jim saw the Ilammond yacht had lift ed anchor and sailed away. He wanted to believe he was glad it had gone, but he wasn't. He wasn't yet over his love for Mary Larsen. Just before dusk that evening one of the crew sighted a ship. Jim watched it through a pais of; glasses. It was the Cuban schoon- er. It came in from the south, making directly for the Aurora's Position, and it kept coming until it was within three miles, and there it stood by. Jim could count eight leen on the schooner. Curly Bates said: "'Prouble, Jim?" "Looks like it. Btlt I doubt if it will come tonight. They can't know we're not armed. I think they'll try to jump us at daybreak when we'd be more likely off guard, But we're not going to be here at daybreak." Curly' seamed old face showed surprise. "You're going to run?" "Sure. After I go through the Sonora's cabins. I'm going down after dark." * * * There was no moon that night, and the complete darkness was a bit of luck. The schooner couldn't observe the Aurora's ac- tivity. Jim. got into a rubber suit so that he could enter the sunken shin's cabins. He stood on the Jacobs ladder waiting for Curly to place his helmet when Black - sheep came to the railing. The Cayman's ebony face wore an un- easy grin, a sheepish look. "Spike sub, I done got a confes- .:sion to, make. I done somethin' you won't like, no Bulli" early said, "Scram, Blackie]" And eased the iron helmet down on Jim's shoulders, bolted it fast, Jim -carried a Pince bar and a small lamp down with him. Ho didn't light the .lamp until he reached the Sonora; he didn't want the saltooner's crew to know he was down. He used the bar to dig away into the Sonora's ' cabin. It took a lot of work and a lot of time, and he was staying below too long. But he kept at it and finally got into the cabins. He found the stuff in the first mate's poem, several wooden cases of it, and when he pried open one ease he understood a lot. He un- derstood everything. The cases contained gold bars. There was no doubt of it. Those dully glinting Yellow metal bars were gold. Jini said into his phone, "Curly! I've found it! Send down a line to haul it tip]" He got no answer. The wire was dead. And suddenly chill ter- ror got. hold of Jim Mallory. He choked. He couldn't get his breads. He turned his lamp on his air hose; the hose seemed intact, but it was as dead as the tele- phone. No air was being pumped down to him (Concluded next week) U.S. To Produce 330 Submarines United States Navy officials, with the .help of private contrac- tors, have put submarines into mass production, like airplanes and tanks which it is estimated will bring the American under- sea fleet to about 330. Rear Admiral A. H. Van Eeuren, chief of the Bureau of Ships at Washington, told cor- respondents on the National As- sociation of manufacturers "pro- duction for victory" tour that four shipbuilding yards are en - .gaged in submarine work. The first of a new series of ten seagoing submarines, the Peto, bas been launched. The nine others are in various stages of construction on a master plan. Tbey are being built in welded sections from 15 to 24 feet long weighing from 37 to 68 tons and will be assembled on the ways. A Good Catch A fishing story but not the least fishy: The crew of a schooner hooked a number of tires which had drifted to sea when a merchant ship was damaged in running aground off the Nova Scotia coast recently.- One fisherman was reported to have received a reward of $475 for one lot. Altogether 400 tires, most of the ship's cargo, were salvaged from the ship and the. sea. • COOKIES FROM HOME By BARBARA 13, BROOKS Cookies from home — what a thrill for the soldier, or the, children who've grown up' and moved away but who still remember those wonderful sweet-smelling home-made cookies that filled the cookie jar. But here are some good rules to remember about cookies that are going travelling. 1. Choose a type cookie that will keep fresh in appearance and • flavour for several days. Avoid heavy frostings or meringues. 2. Choose a size and shape that will not crumble easily. Cookies that. are square pack best, because they can be set up on edge with wax paper between each row. 3. A square or oblong box, whether tin or cardboard, is pre- ferable to a round one. Tin is fine because it helps keep the cookies fresh longer. • 4. Be generous as possible with your wax paper (wrappers from loaves of bread can be used). Cut it into strips as a cushion for the bottom of box then cut a p.ese for the bottom and sides that will fold over the top when filled. Place wax paper between layers. 5, if possible fit the cookie box in an outer cardboard box; if not wrap with heavy paper. 6.

CHAMBERS Put Mint Away To Use In Syrups or Sauces Mint is on the market now and will soon be ready.in the garden, bringing the promise of many a refreshing concoction for spring menus. Although for so long mint has been associated with lamb as if they were real blood brothers the flavorsome sprig can be used in many other combinations with equal success. Why not, for instance, fry mint and new cabbage? One tablespoon minced mint leaves added to one cup crisp shredded cabbage and the whole dressed with oil and lemon juice makes an unusual and delicious salad; or you may stuff tomatoes with the combination. Cucumber slices with mint leaves are appetizing and novel. Mint in Fruit Cups Mint adds an alluring and sea. sonal touch to fruit cups. Some- times merely bruising mint leaves in the bowl in which a fruit salad or fruit cup is mixed gives as much mint flavor as is wanted; or the minced mint leaves ,nay be preferred nixed with the fruit for a definite mint flavor. It's a good idea to make up mint syrup to keep on Band for fruit cups and what not. You can bottle the syrup and keep it for use when mint is not in season. This syrup can he used to make jelly and ices and stakes a de- licious drink combined with lemon juice and ginger ale. Mint Syrup 2 cups minced mint leaves - 2 cups sugar 1% cups vinegar 1% cups water ?: teaspoon salt Mince leaves, cover with sugar and pound with a wooden potato masher. Add salt, vinegar atm water and bring to a boil. Let simmer about 15 minutes until the mixture is'syrupy. Pour into ster- ilized jars and seal. When this is made up to use immediately omit the vinegar and add lemon juice as you use it. Mint Jelly Mint.joliy is preferred by many persons to mint sauce to serve with lamb. An attractive way to serve it is to mould it into tiny individual moulds and turn . out each mould on a slice of orange. vti cup minced mint leaves ys cup sugar teaspoon salt 1.4 teaspoon paprika 1. cup hot vinegar as cup water 1 tablespoon granulated gelatine Soak gelatine in water for ten iilinutes,, Heat print leaves with vinegar, sugar, salt and paprika and simmer closely covered for ten minutes, Strain through cheese cloth and add gelatine at once. Stir until dissolved and turn into mould. If a vivid green is desired a drop or two of green colouring may be added. Mita Chambers ItOrotnes persionnl letteme trout interested readers.

Japanese Parent Advises Offspring "My son," said the properly in- doctrinated. Japanese father, "we know how many things are not true. They tell untruths who say American airplanes can fly over our Nippon. It is untrue that when they do fly over they can drop bombs. it is false when we hear that their bombs can start fires.

We Will Return - To Simple Life The rationing problem Was il- luminated in a recent radio ad- dress by Adolf Berle, assistant secretary of state, who remarked that rationing "will limit the use of most things" Americans now enjoy and will bring back habits of living which existed a genera- tion ago "In the next few weeits," he said "practically everyone in the United States will enter up0u a very interesting experience. A great part of civilian activity a111 be turned from present use to war production. Ratio:.sag will limit the use of most things.
