But that one on the pier may still be â- wailing â€" theri- may be dozens, by now â€" " She shud- dered, and moved a trifle nearer. "Besides â€" that girl on the roof, the one for -whom you danced?" He look- ed at her in .'^urp^ise, and she shook « roguish finger at him. "Ah, you didn't think I knew? If you go back now, I shall think yxm go back to her!"

It was ft^arly midnight before Mary could get away, utterly worn and nerve-wracked from the strain of be- ing alluring without actually submit- ting to his advances. Finally she sent him to his state- room, in a steward's charge. She un- dressed wiearily. Thank God, 'hey would be under way soon. Bate; had not arrived, nor Bruce and the Count- «ea. But any minute might bring them. •She slipi)ed on a negligee and went out on deck for a last look towar 1 shore. The yacht was quiet except for a mufllc<l pounding and stir below decks where the fireman was tending his oil bumei-s under the boiler. Mr Jupiter's room was ju.st around the tomcr from her own. One of his stateroom windows opened on the deck besitle where she was standing. She slipped quietly along and stopped just by the porthole. A reassuring Bnore sounded within the stateroom and she sighed with relief. Stepping on around the comer .she saw what eeemcd to be a sha<low disappearing around the forward bulkhead. Stif- ling a scream she crept bark into the shadows. As Mary stood shivering with dread, uncertain what to do, .she heard the sound of oarlocks and the bump bump of a boat a.s it hit against the On The Links suspended gangway. Picking up her skirts she ran along the deck, and almost fell into the arms of Bates, coming up the gangplank. She could have kissed him. "Oh, Bates, I'm scared! The Fly is aboard," she whispered, "as my guest, and I think Y.i'a prowling around after the rubies. I just came out on deck and .someone r fi-om near Mr. Jupiter's door. I toi<l him Mr. Jupiter had them!" "Stay here," Bates commantied. He unbuttoned his coat and loosened the revolver from its holster under his arm. Staying in the shadow of the upper deck he moved quietly along the bulk-head. She saw him stop and test Mr. Jupiter's door, then disap- pear around the corner where the shadowy figure had run but two min- utes before. The seconds passed like hours as Mary leaned against the wall, strain- ing her ears to catch every sound. Then Bates rcapi>eared so noiselessly that h© startled her. ".A.11 serene," he reported. "The old man's door is locked and The Fly is back in his stateroom â€" three, isn't it?" Mary said "Yes." I ' card him moving around and there's a light un- der the door. You run along to bed now and old Henry Q. Bates will take care of things. I'll camp right up there on the upper deck in a chair where I can see your stateroom <loor and Mr. Jupiter's. Run along, and pleasant dreams." Mary wrung his hand. "Bates, you're a darling!" "Sure I am. But listen, what's the program now? We didn't find a thing in De Ixiina's room. Not a thing. Had to tear up carpets and everything. That's what took me so long. You didn't worry, did you? Anyhow, your necklace is safe â€" right here in old Bates' pocket." He reach- e<l into a capacious inner pocket, and drew out the rolled up bundle of nap- kin â€" unfolded it bit by bit in his palm, saw that it was empty. A hor- rible, pop-eyed expression froze on his face. "It's gone!" he gasped. It was like the groan of a dying man. "Do you mean to say you didn't know that, until now?" Mary crietl. "You picked up an empty napkinâ€" I've got the necklace. It's in Mr. Jupiter's safe." Devoutly, Bates ejaculated "Oh, my God!" His arms fell limply at his sides. "Well, how did you â€" what did you â€" did you have any trouble â€" he stut- tered, overcome with shame. "Plenty! I got back with it, but my hair's snow white. Tell you all about it in the morning. Now don't you fret â€" it wasn't your fault!" It was her turn to pat his shoulder re- as.suringly. To help him out, she changed the subject. "Can We get under way at once? Did you see Bruce and the Countess anywhere?" Bruce, his face like u thunder-cloud, sat on Ix)uise's right, and in the mas- i ter's chair at the head of the table Mr. Jupiter applied himself steadily and not too silently to a generous plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. "Hello, everybody!" Mary called out brightly, "and a plea.sant morn- ing!" Her good humor brought no response. IJe Loma and Bruce barely nodded. The Countess did not even look up. Mary slipped into a seat at Mr. Jupiter's left â€" the remaining chair was Captain Hendricks', but the doughty captain breakfasted at no such effete hour. Ue Loma pushed back his chair with a loud scrape. "You will excuse me, please," he said, bowing sarcastically. "I shall take a walk around the deck." He was taking it fairly welf, at that, Mary decided, after u critical glance. She was curious to know Dressed to "a-dress the ball" at Pinehurst, N.C., Miss Virginia de- long, favored the masculine mode when she made the rounds the other day.

He was sitting on the dock waiting when I cam^ up â€" he wouldn't give it to the sailor.'' He handed Mary a thick envelope. Curiou.s, she took it to her room. A single sheet of note papec held the words "Here's the dope. Keep these. I stole 'em out of the morg'i», and I've got to return 'em. But I couldn't resist telling you the good news." There were clippings, yelloweJ, ringed about the word "De Ijonia" with a blue pencil and stamped on ciich clipping was a dateâ€" thj date of its appearance m a Miinii pcper. The clippings, read in chronological crder, gave the newspaper account of the doings of the celebrated French actress, Louise De I^oma, on board a Havana line steamship way back in the year 1924. The steamship line and all other parties concerned had evidently succeeded in hushing up the matter pi-etty thoroughly, but enough had leaked out through the excited tales of fellow-passengers to show up the lady as an adventuress of an old, familiar type. She was not deported, but evidently she had been only too happy to accept the hint of Miami police officials and return to Havana immediately. At any rate, .she went â€" threatening that her husband would sue. There was no record in the clippings of any suit being brought. Mary put the clippings back in the envelope, and laid it under her pil- low. Good old George Bowen â€" to give her this to sleep on! She -went to the porthole and looked upward. There on the sun deck, as he had promised, she could see Bates' dark figure in its steamer chair, silhouet- ted against the lighter sky. She felt as though she had dropped a heavy burden from her shoulders. * * * The sun was shining in her state- room porthole she she awoke. Mary stretched, easing her cramped mus- cles. She had been so exhausted that .she had slept without moving. With the action, vitality rushed back into her refreshed young body, and she iKiundcd out of bed, pushing her hair out of her eyes. She looked like a slim boy in her rumpled silk pajamas as she ran to the porthole and peered out. Bates i had vanished from his post long I since.

She hummed "Happ; Day.s" as she splashed in the shower, then gave herself a drubbing with a towel, filled the air with an extrava- gant cloud of bath-powder, and set alx)Ut dressing with a light heart. She <lonni;<l n plain white linen frock, white shoes, a little blue coat with bras.* buttons and a blue beret.

There was no one on deck, so sho Curious History of Tristan da Cunha â€" A Blow to Ac- cepted Theories It is rare to read of civilized com- munities nowadays accepting priva- tion as part of the settled order of their existence. A striking example is, ho.vever, to be found in Tristan da Cunha, about which Mr. Douglas M. Gane has written a most fascinating book, writes J. Menzics Campbell in John o' London's Weekly. Ever since this settlement was started by William Glass, in 1817, its history has been rich in shipwrecks and heroic rescues. Vessels belonging to various nationalities have founder- ed off the coast of Tristan da Cunha; in consequence many of the survivors have adopted this island as their home. Several atte.npts have been made to break up this community. For ex- ample, as a recompense for evacuation these islanders have been offered a free passage to South Africa, re-set- tling on the Coast, each with two acres of land and financial aid â€" but they have remained adamant. The morality of the Tristans is high. The oldest inhabitant can recall only two cases of children born out of wedlock, in one of which the par- ents .'.fterwards married. Such mor- ality, in a place where education is practically non-existent, must come as a rude awakening to those who still maintain that these two are closely interlocked. Thesj road-shouidere<l, lithesome, and sinewy people are contented. There are no indications of physical deterioration, despite continued inter- marrying. From the foundations of the settlement until 1853 there were only six deaths from natural causes, three of old men and three of chil- dren. The present population totals 163, and is the largest on record. WANTEDâ€" A PIED PIPER! The medical officers, attached to each succeeding visitirg ship, confirm- e<l their predecessors' statements that a healthier place than Tristan da Cunha could not be found. The last Health Survey was carried out very thoroughly in January, 1932, by three naval surgeons and one dental sur- geon. They drew attention to the excellent physique and nourishment of the community. Further, there was no evidence whatsoever of rickets; and such infectious diseases as .scarlet fever, diphtheria, mumps, measles, whooping cough, etc., were unknown. To many persons this immunity will appear surprising, especially when it is realized that the sanitation on this island is very crude and unsatisfa-?- toi-y, and the water supply most cer- tainly contaminated. .\lso, rats and fleas abound. In passing, it is inter- esting to record that a similar state of immunity prevailed amongst the in- habitants of St. Kilda, but was lo.st after their removal to the Sco'tish mainland. NO TOOTHRRlJ-SnES. The perfection of the teeth will gible, and no evidence was found cf acute or chronic abscesses. Perhaps of greatest interest is the fact that not one of the islanders has ever used a toothbrush. Besides, they regularly eat soft foods, which leave sticky sur- faces on the teeth. Their diet con- sists mai.nly of potatoes, fish, milk, and eggs. Cabbages and turnips are grown, and used while they last. Meat is seldom eaten, and never more than one kind of food at a meal. Owing to an ever-increasing number of rats, ctreals cannot be grown; any deficiency m this respjct i= ade luate- ly remedied. In 1923 three and a half tons of flour and two tons of sugar were landed on Tristan da Cunha. Since 1925 the yearly visits of ships iiave on each ocasion taken fliur and sugar as the chief articles in their consignment. This is divided amongst the various familie.s. Yet tne teeth h.xve not suffered in any wt.y, al- though the younger i^embers of this community have been born and rca^'ed since these articles became more or less regular, thus suggesting that a small amount of sugar and (lour is not harmful. Those whose faith is riveted to the toothbrush and hard foo<is to prevent dental disease will find considerable difficulty in reconcil- ing their beliefs with the conditions prevailing at Tristan da Cunha. THE FOUNDATION-STONE. Scientists nowadays declare that f<xids rich in vitamins, mineral salts, and roughage are necessary for at- taining and maintaining health â€" which includes sound teeth. The diet of these islanders is replete in these essentials. It would appear that the expectant mother, by habitually eat- ing sufficient of those foods which act as barriers against disease, builds in her unborn child strong bones and teeth which, later, are able to with- stand any possible ill-effects which might otherwise arise from eati.ig sticky cereals and sugar. Further, the Tristan infants are weaned at twelve to fifteen months. In highly- civilized communities today infants are often not even breast-fed at all. In reviewing all the available data regarding the health conditions found at Tristan da Cunha, one inclines to place diet as the foremost responsible factor. Civilized man seems ever eager to alter or produce substitutes for, the food provided by Nature. The Tris- tan Islanders do neither. It is interesting to refer to the visit, in 1930, of the Danish traveller, Knud Andersen. He brought back with him tt the Cape t-ivo members of this com- munity â€" one an old man, and the other agetl twenty-one. Competent author- ities describe the latter as being a superman, six feet in height, and ' â€" ^^ =^ ) weighing 169 poui.ds. He had a re- n.arkably small appetite and, in justi- fication thereof, said hat to 1 i really healthy one eats a meal at four a.m., â- fishes all day, and eats again in the evening. The old man, solicitous in his desire to return to his island home after a year's stay at the Cape, stated that home food was best>â€" it keeps one tough. He also referred to the noisc and rush of the city, heavy clothes, and many meals. He was fully con- vinced that no one could possibly liv« long under such conditions. These obsei-vations may hold a solu- tion to the riddle. Certainly ideal sanitary conditions, a pure water supply, and the extermination of rats ;.nd fleas, howe\'er laudable these me.a- sures undoubtedly are, do not offer at adequate explanation, because life on Tristan da Cunha is the very anti- thesis of these ideals. This book, and the recently publish- ed reports and Press articles, sugges; a profitable field for investigation. "Trust her! You surely don't think she could keep a secret."
