The Fly avoided the larKiward side, Itary obeerved, but whether this was Aoe to her presence there, or to the TieH' â€" which consisted of glassy sea jput of which old Fort Jefferson prison reared its ugly headâ€" she did not know. Presently, to srive him the ranpe of the boat, and also because his rest- leBsness had U-jfUii to jret on her ^kBTVes, she retsolvt-d to go below and take a nap. She met a steward with II tray, headed for Dirk's stateroom, Bid stopped him. She rearranfped it a t to make it more inviting. Then she wrote a note. It was only three words. Mary pulled a book from the rack Ml one side of the salon and sent that •long, too. She promised herself that fhe would drop in and see Dirk after fce had lunch. Once she heard an altercation out Ml deck. De I^ma was berating a rteward because he had locked up the Kquor cabinet, at Mr. Jupiter's order, m it tume<i out. Mary dismis-sed it from her mind, until a violent knock- ing at her door forced her to take iotice of it. De Ix>ma was in a towering, white- hot rage. "What's this all about?" he snarled. •Am I a guest on this damn fishing- imack or am I not? Why can't I get l^vice from these deaf mutes you've fct for waiters on this tub? I want a (rink, and I war.t it now, do you hear! Tell this cub to toss out that key! What does he think I am, a baby?" "Take your troubles to Captain Hendricks. He's in command," Mary implied. ."Yes? Well, there's .something else I want to know â€" why doesn't that radio operator send my messages?" "Doesn't he?" "No. If he dad, I'd have had an- |wen^ before now. What's hnppcnini; to my trunks? Damn it, if that hotel seizes them, I'll hold you responsible!" Mary smiled shakily. "You flatter me. As I said before, Captain Hendricks is the man to see." "That !" From his choice of expletives it was apparent that Captain Hendricks had already been seen, and adde<l his re- fusal to that of his subordinates. De Loma was apparently appealing to Mary as a last resort. He was almost beside himself, and his bravado was fast crumbling. Mary shut the door and an instant later she heard the captain's low, steady voice. "We've a sick man in that cabin down there, De Loma. I suggest you lower your voice. Better still, stay up on deck. What were you bothering Miss Harkness about? Miss Harkness is not to be annoyed!" De Ix)ma obeyed without a word. There was something about the sturdy figure of the captain that was im- pressive, particularly to a man whoso courage was not of the physical sort. Mary, listening to the encounter be- tween the two with a loudly beating heart, opened her door a trifle when De Ijoma had gone. Captain Hen- dricks was still standing there. , "Keep your door locked," he said very low. "The sitewart just surprised him trying Mr. Jupiter's door. That's what he's so hot and bothered about. Though I reckon he'd like to have a drink, at that. Good thing Jupiter's got the onJy boat£I think he'd try to row to .shore." "Are we off the reef yet?" she asked hopefully. All morning the crew had worked at the job of dislodging the stranded '•Gypsy," first dropping an anchor off the bow and trying to pull her for- ward with a winch, and then repeat- ing the performance off the stern. But the lovely white-and-gold yacht was firmly seate<l ujwn a rock, and there she remained, a-s alluring a sight as Circe of old to the tii-ed and gi'ubby fisherman now plying toward her. "No luck. We're here till we can get a tug to pull us off." The cap- tain shook his head. "He'll be hulmy befoiL' then. Y'ou know what I think?" He whispered almost gleefully. "I think it's that old prison that gels his goat! He's so jittery now he can't eat. And when appetites fail on ship- board, a man's either seasick of got the fear of hell-fire in him." In mid-aftemoon the fishermen ai- rived, and even the sullen Do Loma was at the rail to watch their coming aboard. Any kiml of activity was bet- ter than the stillness and utter lack of human a&sociation from which be ed the rent of the party, grouped on had been suffering. the main deck just forward of Mr. "Oh, what nutrvelous luck!" Mary Jupiter's cabin. A half-mile or so to called out involuntarily as the boat . the east, gleaming ghostly clear in the came alongside and she saw several i moonlight, the prison rose abruptly shining fish in the bottom. "What out of the sea. A gold moon swam in are they? I never saw such beautiful the deep blue tropical sky. The whole fi.sh before." Both Mr. Jupiter and scene was like a vivid lithograph or a Bates were grinning as they climbed j highly colored postcard picture, out, albeit rather stiffly, and came up Ix>ui.se was talking as Mary joined the gangplank. "Kingfish," Bates replied, "and they're riglitly named, too. What a fight one of those fellow* gave me! He knew I was an amateur so he gave the works." "Didn't you get any barracuda?" "No. No luck there." Mr. Jupiter called a deck hand to bring their catch up from the dinghy. "I wouldn't want to try to bring one of those into that cockleshell. Got the bmt loo.se yet?" "Sorry sir," the captain rcplie<l. "And now there's something the mat- ter with the radio. Tried to get Key West to order a tug, but it wouldn't work. Couldn't raise anyone." A sud- den thought made him look suspi- ciously in De Loma's direction. "If I thought anyone had tampered with it^" De Loma brought his eyes back from a moody contemplation of J'ort Jefferson prison, turned and walked away. The captain's speculative gaze followed him. Dirk was either asleep or feigned it when Mary went down to see him His stony unresponsiveness was be- ginning to wear her spirits down at. last. It was not human, she felt, to b? so stubbornly resistant even to the or- dinary claims of friendship. He must hate her. There was no other explana tion. She almost ran to her own cabin, locked herself in and let the tears come. Then, realizing that she could not go up on deck again without ex- citing curiosity, she sent a steward to ask Bales to loan her his half-com- plete "picture puzzle." If she must bo a ]>risoner she could at least be doing something useful. For two hours she labored over the heap of paper scrap.'?, fitting them to- gether expertly, until she had the fin- ished poster. It was almost impossible to gain a clear idea of the man's looks until another hour's labor had suc- ceeded in pasting the scraps in place. But beyond a doubt it was De Loma â€" a younger De Loma, almo.st a boy, in fact. The same thin, hawk-like fjice, the beady black eyes, the arrogant head. He wore a white shirt open at the neck, and white trousers curiously clipped in at the ankles, as if for bi- cycle riding, and what appeare<l to be a pair of old tcnni.s shoe.?. The curi- ousness of this get-up was heightened by his pose â€" arms folded across the chest, the feet at risht angles in the "first position" of the ballet dancer. Below was printed: "Harry Hill, the Human Fly." Mary pondered this for some time. The name was not fa- niiliar, and she had no idea what a "human fly" was. J^eaving it for Bates' interpretjition, she went up on deck. Night had settled down as she join- thc group, describing an old castle she had visited the year before. "It had the most marvelous stained glass windows, made in Italy by the monks during the Renaissance and transport- ed over the mountains on donkeys. I remember particularly a deep crimson .... the glass was so finely colored It looked like precious stone . . . ." She turned to Mary. "What reminded me of it were your rubies. What have you done with them? Do you have them on the yacht? I should love just to look at them again." "I have them here," Mr. Jupiter spoke up, before Mary could decide what answer to make to this amazing request. He reached into the pocket of his dinner jacket and pulled them out, holding them up to the eyes of the others. There were several sharply drawn breaths at the unexpected glory of the stones. "Try 'em on, Mary, do," he 'irged. "It's a sight worth seeing," he told the others with naive pride. He rose and laid them in her hands. Fumbling with nervousness, Mary reached up to fasten them about her neck, but they slipped from her fin- gers. She made a frantic grab for them, but only succeeded in striking them with her hand. They fell flash- ing into the sea. "You fool! Oh, you fool!" De I-omu screamed at her insanely. "Now see what you've done!" (To Be Continued.)

I'romplaeta v»y*. «. aKHAI'D, Aerrelarj. Yoo have seen the English garden*, the glorious parks where trees and flowers flourish as if they knew that they were beloved. Many an English road bends merely to avoid disturbing an oak or an elm. And this is not merely due to the decrees of some lord of the manor. You will seldom see in England gardens laid out in the Italian manner with their hori- zontal alignment, whii^h is nothing more than the prolongation of the architectural plan set out by the house. The English look down en thi.s style. "Artificial" they call it dis- dainfully. Its unbending lines dis- please them. I suppose that is why the word "crescent" in an address has a slightly aristocratic tone, pos- sibly because it suggests a curve. One day when I was having tea with an old squire in his garden under the shade of the immemorial trees, he told me what a painful impression he had had of the tvenues of Versaille.?, where the trees are clipped to a line. He went so f-.i as to .<ay that this alignment, this repeated tampering with the intentions of Nature, was a marked characteristic of the B^rench mind. "This is not how we under- stand Nature." He smiled and then added, "I have often wondered how you could bear to live in the Boulevard de la Rcine!" and while he was speak- ing he waved his stick and quite un- consciously it seemed 'o be pointing in the direction of his perfect lawn, im- maculately shorn and cut every other day and rolled night and morning, and from which every daisy, plantain, and diindelion was rigorously extirpated, and where no blade of grass would dare lift its head above the others. "Six to one," etc! . . . The Englishni..n has sucl. a horror of pedantry in all its guises and such a great admiration for character that he has come net actually to despise intelligence but to disdain it some- what, so that now the word "clever" bears something of a derogatory con- notation. For my part I think that England has done and is still doing a great service to humanity in prov- ing almost daily that intelligence is not the greatest and the most import- ant attribute of man; and that .so long as he forms a part of the community his moral qualities aro of even greater value. There is no country where it needs less courage to maintain a ridi- culous point of view, and on the other hand, where it is lej-s nece.^tary to show intellectual originality to cut a goo<l figure in the world. It will be con.sidered sufficient for a man to have an ample fund of anecdotes and mildly amusing stories, and no blame attaches to him if he prepares his most spontancou^ impromptus before- hand.â€" Felix de Grand 'Combe, in "England This Way!" (London: Ivor Nicholson & Wat-eon Ltd.) Many rumors are floating about re- garding the retirement of popular stars. According to one news sourcj four headliners have definitely an- nounced they will desert Hollywood within the next twelve months. No. 1. Ruth Chattel-ton gives as hei- reason â€" her real love has always been the stage. It is understood she in- tends to rebuild her career as a stage actress and will appear in a London play. No. 2 is Constance Ben.nett, who declares she will settle down on the Riviera with her husband, the Mar- c^uis de la Falaise de la Coudraye, and laise a family. No. 3, Ronald Colman, may not i-e- tire pcrmanintly, but desires a "breathing spell" of about two years' duration. No. 4, Clive Brook, who is under contract to make one British picture, when his present Hollywood agree- ment expires, will-afterwards devote his whol',' time to writing. He former- ly wrote short stories. -♦- Vitan i C May 8= Oblained From Paprika, Chemist Finds Budapest. â€" (Jenoral scientific inU.'i- est has been arou.sed by th<! claim of a pi-omincnt Hungarian chemist.

Fingerprint Test For Art Munich. â€" Fingerprints for identi- fying old masters without having to call in art experts, with their conflict- ing tenets, is what Alexander Eibert, Ph.D., of the Munich Institute of Technology, is developing into a sys- tematic testing methotl. Starting with some thoroughly au- thenticated old painting, says a Duror, Dr. Eibert makes a searching micro- scopic and micro-photographic study of the fingerprints. After comparing these with other ;tenuine works by the same hand, the Durer fingerprint, once established, can be invokeel as a conclusive test of doubtful or in any way questioned "Durcrs" in quite the same way as fingerprints are used by the police. This new art dactyloscopy, applic- able of course only to painters who helped out their brush work with their fii.gers, especially thumbs, is being de- veloped at the Institute for the Tech- nique of Painting, of which Dr. Eibert is director. <^ Farmhand Finds Fortune In Swedish Fields One of the finest collections of anti- quities ever dug vp from Scandinavian soil was revealed v/hen Emil Joensson, a fari.ihand in Skaane, the most southern province of Sweden, Uncov- ered this fortune while plowing. Joensson at first noticed some blue- white pieces of porcelain in his fur- row, stopped his horses to investigato and liscovered a iiumber of silver coins. Right then his fortune was made. An archaeologist was .sent for. and the "lucky strike" examined. There were no less than 378 Swedish, Danish and German coins dated some 300 years back, beautiful ornaments of hand-wrought, gilt silver and a set of beautifully worked and decorated buckles, spangles and mournings of a be't. Archaeologists are of the opin- idi the ornaments belong to the very best specimens of late Gothic silver work now existing in Sweelcn. It is thought a wealthy nobleman "How to make my old short skirts conform to the new length was a prob- lem to me until 1 hit on this plan. 1 dropped the hems; and as the part that had beeu turned under was darker than the rest, I rcdyed the entire dress, after having bleached the goods, fol- lowing directions In the Diamond Dyes package.
