Zurich Herald, 1934-05-10, Page 21y r 13YNODs=s Hurried removal of five crates of op- ium from the liner Wallaroo carrying 2.000.000 pounds in gold to Australia --- Hee See, in the Limehouse warehouse of discovery of a diary dropped by Yuan Jo Lung, London's biggst "fence" --the murder of Sergeant Norwich of Scotland Yard—discovery that Yu'an's agents on the Wallaroo are shadowing Eileen Kearey with whom Detective Inspector Dawson Itaig is in love—all this occurs before Eileen is kidnapped when she goes ashore at Port Said aftr being induced by an Armenian fortune teller named Joseph to accompany Dr, Oestler to the Mystery' Shop of Mohammed. Both Oestler an.i Joseph are among Yu'an's agents. 'Haig, trailing Eileen, is plung- ed into the drugged Bath of Feathers but escapes and gets the drop on Jos- eph who topples in the Bath. Haig takes all his papers, nails the body into the packing case intended as his coffin, using Joseph's credentials, makes his way into Arabia. Escaping arrest Oestler disappears from the Wallaroo and appears at Yu'an's headquarters in .Arabia where Eileen first regains con- sciousness. It is evident as Yu'an and Aswami Pasha talk that they intend to capture or sink the Wallaroo. Haig disguised as Joseph, gains entry to the house . CHAPTER 23 (con't.) "My God !" Haig thought.

"Hello, mate!" was his greeting. He glanced at a slip of paper he held in one large, muscular hand, "You'- re Joseph Rasta. Got your letter?" plained. Thenegro returned with a glass, the "Here it is," "I'm the Kid," the other replied. "You speak good English for a bloody Armenian." "I've lived in England," Haig ex- plained. The Kid whistled shrilly, and the negro appeared at once. "Another glass," he directed, lighted a cig- arette, and thoughtfully regarded the new arrival. "You look pretty useful," he con- ceded. "The Chief's engaged in 'is 'airem--so you get your orders from me. I'm first lieutenant—see?" The negro returning with a glass, the Kid half filled it with whisky, to which he added a dash of soda water. "You're the garden watchdog," he went on. "See?" "I don't think I do," Haig confess- ed. "Well, what you got to do is to patrol the gardens, 'specially the 'air - em garden, and watch the you -nicks." "Eunuchs!" "Yes, Joseph, you -nicks. They ain't like you an' me. They can be bought over. See, mate? If you pipe a cat in the garden.—shoot it. Don't shoot a you -nick or a monkey or a parrot, or you're for it. But anything else what oves—shoot. Now I'll interduce you to your new pal—name of the Jackal—and show you round . . . " * * * To Eileen every day in that lac- quered room was a week of suffer- ing, although Celeste showed a ma- ternal solicitude for the girl's com- fort. With a glance of her eloquent eyes and a shrug, Celeste had con- veyed the news that they were spied upon, and Eileen became aware that the scroll -work ventilators • were really hidden spy holes. She thought of the bathroom re- calling an impression of dim voices, above, which had •disturbed her in the bath. A warm glow spread all over her body, and filled with a fierce re- sentment she sprang up, hands tight- ly clenched, and walked out onto the balcony. "Cherie," Celeste said earnestly, in a low voice, "it is no good. You must keep yourself in hand for when something may be done. and we are watched. Come in. There is a guard on the spy tower looking this way." ' She dragged Eileen back, but not before the latter had stared across that unreally lovely garden to where, upon the high wall, a sort of squat minaret upreared. Looking out from its gallery was a man who wore European dress, with a tarbush. "Oh, God!" whispered Eileen, and clutched Celeste, 'detaining her, "Oh, God! It is! It is!" She stared and stared, choked down an hysterical sob, and then began wildly waving her hand. The man was Dawson Haig! "My child! Stop! Stop! Whatever you've seen, come in!" the French- woman whispered urgently. Eilen nodded. The beating of her heart seemed to be choking her, They re-entered the lacquered room. "And so," said Celeste, in a high and cheerful voice, "two good things are to happen. You are to spend the afternoon in the garden until tea time, and I have permission to sleep on the divan, there, if you wish it." "Oh, Celeste!" Eileen whispered, tears starting to her eyes, "you are an angel! Whatever would have .be- come of me without you?" Her heart was singing. She was dying to share her knowledge with this friend unexpectedly found in the enemy's camp But well enough she understood the need for silence. Billy had found her! Billy had found her! Escorted by one of the gigantic negroes, she and Celeste presently descended stone steps to the garden. The eunuch dropped back ten paces, allowing the women to stroll undis- turbed and in broken whispers Eileen 3 3 Get exactly the color you want from the new Instant Rit range R 1 T instant, because COLOR$ it soaks tight and ------ .

Celeste said;, "he is a brave man I only fear ---that Mr, i.ingI Ah! This is not his real name —the nian they call Excellency, who owns this house --the town—and all the country around." "Mr. King?" "Yes. He is a Chinaman." "What! A Chinaman?" Sudden horror gripped Eileen "Is he stoutly built, with very red lips, and a small black moustache?" "Ah!" Celeste ,gripped her arm. "You have seen him? He has seen you? I understand. It was so with me—ten years ago, cherie." Then, with a swift change of tone: "Hush! hush! my child—he-is here." Yu'an Hee See was walking along the path towards them. His eyes, in that smooth yellow face, resembled oblique black slits. Pausing, he bow- ed, smiling, Eileen clutched the Frenchwoman's hand and stood rigid. "Our little American guest," came the flute voice. "You are angry with me, I can see. But you do not under- stand, pale flower, that I have saved you from grave peril. I had not meant to intrude upon your promenade, but it was very pleasant for me to find a new beauty in this beautiful garden." He bowed, smiling, and departed along a path to the right and,froin a high, latticed window Orange Blos- som watched this scene, her tiny milk -white teeth buried in her lower lip. Dawson Haig felt like a man re- juvenated. He had found her! How imminent her peril might be he could not know. But, whatever the truth, he could do nothing more yet. The ease with which he had pene- trated to this secret headquarters at first had astonished him. No doubt the box containing the real Joseph had been dropped in the Mediterran- ean, and with it had gone his big risk of detection. He had been allotted quarters in a palm -thatched hut. These quarters he shared with a sinister -looking Creole, the Jackal, who spoke a sort of bastard French. He had no other companionship, and could gather nothing that was essential from his saturnine confrere. His duties were simple. Armed with a knobkerry resembling the night club of an American police- man, and a mauser magazine .pistol belted to his hip, he took sea watch- es with the Creole, four hours on and four hours off, patrolling the . vast gardens of the palace. In short; he was employed as a killer. The Jackal, who also answered. to the name of Jacques, .spent his hours of leisure inje'e'h'ng cocaine into a syringe -spotted left arm. Under influence of the drug—and he was rarely otherwise—The Jackal became a dangerous homicidal maniac. There were three separate enclosed gardens, shut off from the rest, and opening out from the southern front of the old palace. A narrow cause- way bordered the outer wall which circled these enclosures, having steps at intervals of twenty yards leading up to little watch towers. In one of these harem gardens he had seen a number of women --Orient- als, languorous but contented. The second had proved to be empty. But, on a balcony overlinking the third, he had seen Eileen. When the Jackal relieved him he gave Haig a warning. "No go up steps of women's gardens. Only Uncle Tom and other eunuchs. If see ... " Significantly he drew a yellow finger across his throat . .

Delicious Quality GREEN TEA 7*1 Also in Black and Mixed TOO MUCH SUGAR COATING Hilda Hichmond Mrs. Wood, a young mother whose children would soon start to public school, was anxious to know what she could do to help them. At the begin- ning of the previous school year she had seen her neighbor, almost daily, bribing, coaxing and arguing to get her twin sons started with the other children. "What was wrong there that they did not want to go?" asked Mrs. Wood of the primary" teacher whose class the twins attended. "To much 'sugar coating' at home," answered Miss Doane, frankly, This, she went on to say, was not good for any child. This mother had never allowed her boys to feel that there were hard tasks to be perform- ed and difficult lessons to be learned in the first years of their lives, and so they had not formed the habit of attack and had missed the joy of achievement. She had waited on them, bad paid them for each little service and had tried to eliminate every hardship from their young liv- es, Miss Doane said the children best prepared for school entrance were those who had learned to wait on themselves, to sit quietly for short periods of time when there were guests, to perform little errands and chores without being- rewarded for each act, and who knew how to work and play with others, "This," she added, "is what boys and girls learn in kindergarten. I wish we had one here," So Mrs, Wood conducted a little survey of herself and her children to check up on the various items. She found that she was waiting on her children more than was necessary and was "paying" them in pennies and treats much too frequently. On the other hand she had many strong points to her credit as she had always talked with them about school in a .very happy way, speaking of it as be- g a great pleasura and one to which they would be admitted when they were sufficiently big and brave and strong. She had been firm in not al- lowing them "treats" that would up- set digestion — a frequent cause of naughtiness in school — and she had seen to it that they were fair and generally unselfish in their play. So with this good foundation on` which to build she gradually eliminated the other habits not so desirable. She played school with the children, re- presenting it as a very delightful ex- perience and she gave them specific duties including keeping their play desks in good order. At other times she set them tasks in the kitchen and dining room. And, although it made considerable extra work, she invited many other boys and girls to the house to play. She soon saw a great change in the children. She had tried to keep thein babies before, now she put emphasis on their development and the joy of added responsibilities. "How did yon know all these things?" she asked the teacher who had guided her.

Calder, KC., at a "ladies' night" din- ner of the Young Men's Canadian Club. "The law is intended to forestall attempts by unscrupulous people to dodge their creditors by registering some substantial piece of property in the names of their wives," Mr Calder explained, The low of Quebec was in reality "a singularly benign legislation" in- sofar as protection of a married wo- man's rights was concerned. Mr. Calder pointed out. Equal partner- ship in communal assets was one point favorable to the wife, he said, and furthermore she had rights of dower which entitled her to a slice of the property before 50-50 distri- bution of it was r-.ade in the event of separation. Immovable property possessed before marriage was not incorporated into the communal as- sets upon marriage, he said, but mo- ney, although an inheritance, was the sole property of the legatee. Weekly Air Service Will Link Austrialia- England in 1934 Canberra, — A regular weekly two-way air service between England and Australia will be inaugurated here in December it was officially announced last week. The Australian -ovt.rnment accepted the proposal cf a new Australian company The anti- podes terminal will be first Brisbane then Adelaide There will be five air- planes in use Catching Suckers This week we secured a copy of the old hone -town paper, writes the Stratford Beacon -Herald. For 'a spell we looked through the navies of people who had been away for Ea- ster and those from the outside world who had been home, but that was not at all satisfactory. There were so few names which we recognized. Then we looked over the adver- tising columns, but the navies of the merchants were different; only two did we see which were the same as they used to be when we went to the store with the coal oil can. The store keeper in those days used, to stick a small potato on the spout to keep the oil from spilling out, but of course that has nothing to do with what we started to say. There were three or four church notices, but the names of the preach- ers were different. Of course min- isters do move about considerably, that is to be expected. But there was one item in the pa- per which sounded like the good old days. It mentioned no 'names, but it - said this: "Some of the boys are busy in the evening catching suckers in the creek' We are glad the people who are running the paper today put that lit- tle piece of news ir. it. It was some- thing to take hold on; it showed that all anchorage and connection with the place had not been severed. They used to catch Suckers in the creek a good many years ago; they are still doing it. The creek, the suckers and the habits of the folk have at least remained. Splendid. Lighting Our Troubles The visible portion of the spectrum which Newton discovered, is only a small part of the radiatoins known to exist. Just beyond' the violet end are the well-known . ultra" -violet rays which have no penetrating power. Just beyond the red end of the spectrum are the infra -red rays,- and it is suspected that these • although they are a long way, so far as wave- length is concerl,ed, from the various radiations obtained from radium and the X-rays,fi have a similar, though not so powerful penetrating power, A beam of this invisible light will affect a photo -electric cell although some portion of the body is interposed, be- tween lamp and cell, an electrical change, in fact, which can be measur- ed and recorded. It is suggested that since X-rays show up only the more dense portions of the body, these in- fra -red rays may be complementary to them and show up the softer tis- sues.
