Terry Burke it the only tportt writer to sivc them a chance. He bets $10 â- t Tony Murallo't restaurant in the Broadway ditlrict. In the Blues' first game Whitpcr, the Philadelphia pitcher, it killed with a bullet through the heart after smashing out a home run. Both Burke and Larry Doyle, the Bluet* rook'e shortstop, for whom Clark't pretty daughter, Frances, had shown her preference over Whit- per, are suspected at first by Detec- tive Kelly. It is Burke who discov- esr it was Sid Stream, notorious gun- man, who wrecked a taxi with a hul- let through a tire and injured four Boston players as the BKiet are \o open a teriet. Then Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead, after hitting a hom- er, from po'ton on a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his bat. Pietro, Chicago't bat boy, disap- pears. Clark tenclt Doyle to Newark but he is soon told to Boston. When the Blues go to St. Louis, Scotter, the Rubes' ttar pitcher. Is found dead frcrti a gas given off by a mys- terious powder in the box with a jigsaw puzzle tent to him. Each time Burke has a beat on these sensa- tional happoningt and masked gun- men truss hirr up, question him and warn him he knows too much, Rawl- ins, the manager, is sick when the Bluet go to Chicago, and New York wins the first game. Burke bets Mull- int, another sports writer, %S the Blues will win the second fjame if Rawlins is still III. He Is absent • gain.

Ontnr o. he wanted to rest and the nurse had left him for about an hour. That was all that turned up from the police efforts. The missinu maid was check- ed and had not left the hotel by the usual means. Her clothes were in her locker and there was no reason to suppo.se that she was anything other than she appeared to be. She lived in South Chicago and had been employed by the hotel for over four years. She was competent and well liked by the management- "Now you've gut the whole story," Hover said when the bottle was em- pty," and know as much as I do." IJoth Teriy and Craven looked to Doc liiers for confirmaton. Biers nodded. "It's true," Hover said. "Yuu can wire your papers if you want to, but Doc and I beat you to it." He lurch- ed to his feet and ambled toward the door. "Come on Doc, I'll buy you a drink." Doc liiers smiled and followed Ho- ver through the door. "It's crazy," Craven said- "The whole thin;; is a crazy nightmare. What will hajipen ne.xt? Know any- body here, Terry, anybody at head- (luarters who would give you the in- s lie dope'.'" Terry shook his head, lie l;new no one and was glad of it. He was se- cretly glad that for once he had not been in the Ihifk of the mystery. He heaved a sight of relief. T know one of the bull.s here," he .said. ".Maybe he can help us out. I will call him in the morning." They both sent wires to llieir, jia- jiurs and sat talking about the proli- aiiilities of Uawl ns' vanishing- It was just eleven-thirty when 'J'erry's telephone rang. It was Doc liiers. He was haviip.;- trouble getting Hover to bed and called for hel|). They both went up to the eigh- teenth floor and were woiking over Hover when they heard a liorrified cry in the corridor. A cold chill jan down Terry's spine. The three men looked at each other in startled amazement. Doors were opening all along the corridors and they heard excited voicis. Craven raced down the hall, following Terry. The hotel was one of the older Chicago hotels, as thinj'is go now, but new enough to be one of the first of the moderns- It was one of the first to put in service doors. They were not like the more recent ones. They were longer and deejier than the new ones and there was no chance of sipiashing a suit nor was it nece.s.sary to flatten out your laundry-hag in order to get it in the door. A bellboy stood shaking in the centre of a crowd before an opened service door. The inner half t>f the door was open, and outlined against the light which came from a liivhted window aci-oss the court dangled the body of a man. The lioily was hung from the linok meant to hold coat-hangers. The head was bent forward on its chest nnd the long pyjania-clad legs hung limply down into the room beyond. Craven knelt down and looked up at the face. "It's Kawlins," he whi.siiered to Tciry- Theie was the sound of excited voices and three men came hurrying down the corridor. They were Clay- ton, the manager, Ternan, his house <letect:ve, and the night clerk, who was just going on duty. "What's the matter. Carter?" Clayton asked the still shaking bell- boy. I The boy iminteil to the body in the doorway. Ternan whistled and moved forward to have a better look. The house doctor camo hurrying ii|> just then, went into the room and closed the door.

Chickens Turn To Gold Digging Large Nugget Found in Crop Of Bird To Be Eaten CHAUI^OTTETOWN, P.K.I., â€"Just about 50 years ago a report that gold had been discovered in the shore sands In the vicinity of West Point, P. E. I., created considerable excite- ment throughout tho Maritime Prov- inces. A big boost in land values of the locality whore the gold was said to have existed ocurrcd, but the gold did not "pan out'' to expectations and the oxcitoDient abated. The valuo of farms in the vicinity reverted back to normal prices of good farm lands. Hut now real gold has been found Not long ago while one ot the Jiouse- hold of Neil Houlter of West Point was preparing a fowl for tho table a large nugget of almost pure gold was foiMid in the crop of the bird. Mr. Houltor's nephew, Howard I..!vinK- stono wa'; present when tho gold was found. After he returned home he told his mother of the circumstances and ex- pressed wonderment as to where the gold could have come from. His mo- ther then related the following: "When my grandfather Boulter came from England, he settled where Neil now lives. Ho had some gold coins which wore kept in a corner cupboard. These disappeared but were afterwards found by tho grand- daughter to whom they were then gi- ven. SUa rolled them up and agran put them in tho cupboard. Somo 40 years ago they finally disappeared. It is believed they were gathered up with waste paper and thrown into tho stove and later tho midted gold was taken out with tho ashes and Neil Houler's hen's have become f;oId dig- gers-" Ginger and Fred Are ** Knock-Kneed" PASADENA, Calif.â€" Ginger Rog- ers and Fred Astaire both are knock-kneed! The California Osteopathic Associ- ation was told it was one of the secrets of their dancing success. "Their dexterity, or the grace of ballet and esthetic artists like Theo- dore Koslofif or Fanchon Wolfe," liaid Dr. William F. JIadscn, ot Pasadena, "is duo to the fact that they are knock-knocd. "In fact, one could make the startling assertion the best dancers are knock-kneed.

There are so many uses for thi'sj delightful, moist shreds of foodnci-s' that every housewife should keep a carton or scaled tin of it on hand. She should also be careful how she buys coconut because its good- r:ss is lost if it isn't perfectly fresh. Tho only way to be sure that what you buy is the best is to got it in scaU';l tins or c.trtons which are cs'-eciaily constructed to retp n all th;'^ moisture and freshness of tho co..'oi;ut. Tiure are two kinils cf eofonut, Sr.uthcrn style and premium shred. The first is used for topping des- sert.-;, .sprinkling over frostings and fruit cups, for flulTy whips and mcr- inguo m'xtures and the second is .\M\\ more for fluid or semi-fluid mi::- turos, such as pic filiings, custards and pu;!iiings and as an ingrcditnt in cookie m'xturcs.
