CHAPTER I Egypt Carse noted a tense, wor- ried atmosphere about the inner of- fice of Apex Surety as he came through the door. Milligan, the florid western manager, looked distinctly unhappy. The tall, lean, impassive man who stood by Milligan's desk toying with a half -smoked cigar was Lieutenant Carewe, a plainclothes member of the San Francisco police. Carewe raised his right eyebrow in greeting. "Good thing yuu made quick time from the station, Carse," he com- mented. "Milligan was on the point of asking for a police escort to rush you here." Egypt Carse grinned. "I usually come along. What's up? I got your wire on the train, Milligan." Milligan polished his pince-nez rap- idly. He bit out his words nervously. "It isn't what has happened. It is what may happen! Read this." He held out a radiogram. APEX SURETY INC SAN FRANCISCO FROM SS CITY OF SHANGHAI AT SEA REQUEST QUALIFIED APPRAIS- ER AND MAN WITH AUTHORITY TO INSURE APPROXIMATELY THREE MILLION DOLLARS UN- SET JEWELS PROPERTY REPUB- LIC OF CHINA STOP BOARD CITY OF SHANGHAI AT DOCK STOP WISH TO INSURE JEWELS UNTIL THEIR DISPOSAL IN UNITED STATES STOP UTMOST SECRECY REQUESTED LEE WONG Little wrinkles creased the heavily tanned skin at the comers of Egypt Carse's blue eyes as he tossed the radiogram on the desk. "Not a bad piece of business," he remarked comfortably. "Even Apex Surety doesn't pick up three millions of insurance every day." He knew, however, that Milligan's fears were justified. This matter was more than serious. "You don't know who's interested in these jewels?" he asked. Milligan shook his head. "No. You've seen all I know. That's why I wanted you here at once. I wired New York and they told me you were on the train. Carewe is repre- senting the San Francisco Police De- partment." Egypt rolled an eye at Carewe. "You could have done worse." Carewe grinned. "Couldn't have done better, you mean. Now that I'm on the job, you chaps don't need to worry." "Then we'll leave it up to you," Egypt assented. Carewe gave him a wry look. "You win," he confessed. "I don't want this alone. I don't like the looks of it. If I was Mr. Milligan, I would save my- self worry by refusing to insure." "Not a bad idea," Egypt agreed. "But he can't." "I should say not!" Milligan ex- ploded. "Impossible! For forty years Apex Surety has never refused a risk. We reserve the right to make our own premiums, depending on the risk, but we never refuse to insure. No! We'll insure! And it's up to us to see that nothing happens to the jew- els!" "And if anything does?" Carewe (|ucricd. Milligan slammed his clenched flst (in the «lesk with such force that the papers jumped. "Then it's up to us to get them back!" Egypt Carse walked to the office window and stared out. Far below lay the hustling strcotB ot Sau Fran- cisco's business district. Over the rooftops of smaller buildings he could see clear to the waterfront. Ships from all countries of the world were docking, unloading, load- ing, departing. And there the City of Shanghai was docking, with thfe Mandarin Lee Wong and millions of dollars' worth of unset jewels aboard. Down there must bo someone who knew about those jewels; someone wh;) was playing for big stakos with all the cunning of years of experience. And Egypt did not doubt that it was someone who deserved respect. No one else would have the nerve to go after thcin. He turned around. (To be continued) Battle of Basket Is Taken to Court Here's a practical and smart dress for growing daughter. This princess dress buttons right down the front. It makes daughter quite an independent individual. She can slip it on and fasten it un- aided by mummy or nurse. The Peter Pan collar has a dainty scal- loped edge. The scallops are re- peated on the cuffs of the brief puffed sleeves. Or it may have long sleeves with sort of "puffed up" shoulders. French pantees complete it and make it perfect for kindergarten and school. Navy poplin with white collar and culF trim made the original. The pantees are navy. Pin dotted pezxale, plaided ging- ham, checked wool-finished cottons and wool crepe are other nice me- diums for this simple to sew pan- tee dress. Style No. 3156 is designied for sizes 4, 6, 8 and 10 years. Size 8 requires 214 yards of 35-inch ma- terial with 'i yard of 35-inch con- trasting for dress with 1 yard of 35-inch material for separate pan- tee.

North Bay, Ont. â€" The butcher's baaket, first bassinet of the Dionne quintuplets, figured in a court action here recently when Mrs. Alex Legrros, quintuplet midwife, laid an assault charge against Harvey Simrod, Syd- ney Brown and Mildred Adams, em- ployees of a souvenir booth near the Dafoe hospital. Last week Mrs. Lcgros, owner of the basket, took it to her home across the road for safe-keeping, claiming that souvenir hunters were mutilating it. She said the three accused later invaded her home and treated her roughly in their efforts to restore the basket to its place of honor in the .souvenir booth. Magistrate J. H. McCurry thought the whole matter much ado about nothing and dismissed the charges.

Ray Giles, in Readers Digest, writes: To fall in love with your job and get the most from it there is i simple recipe: Get acquainted with it! Explore it. No job is ao dull but that it grows more interesting! as one digs beneath its surface. No work is so limited but that delving into it will reveal far greater pos- sibilities than appear on the •urfaee.

Without plumbing terrible pes- tilences would still wipe out whole communities and people. A young man just starting with a rubber com.- pany said, "Did you ever realize what would happen if all the rubber now in use suddenly dissolved? Every airplane would crash to the ground; every automobile would stop; no big fire could be fought effectively; many industries would collapse entirely." As he went on he pictured a world in chaos through lack of rubber. If your work seems uninteresting i make the discovery of just what would happen if glass, nails, news- papers, or whatever article you help to make or sell were obliterated.

New Spectacles Cool Human Eyes Lenses Perform Duty By Absorbing Heat That Goes Through Them Chicago. â€" A pair of spectacles de- scribed by the inventors as the most efficient refrigerating unit yet de- vised to cool the human eye was on display recently at the annual meet- ing of the American .Academy of Op- tometrists. The lenses were designed to prevent cataracts, a frequent cause of bhnd- ness. They performed their cooling func- tion in the same general way as a refrigerating unit by absorbing heat which passed through them. The invention was based on the theory that invisible infra-red light rays are so hot they cook the albu- min of the eyeball into thick opacity like a gas flame cooks the white of an egg. The development was announced by Dr. E. Leroy Ryer and Dr. Elmer E. Hotaling of New York, who had been experimenting for ten years with dif- ferent types of lenses which would absorb the infra-red light and pre- vent the formation of cataracts.
