London. January 20.-I am told that the famous magic mirror which was sold the other day for ss5O was bought for Mrs. Drummond (Mrs. Marshall Field that was). who has collection of weird historic things at her house on Southamp- ton waters. The mirror belonged to the great astrologer of the sixteenth century. Dr. Dee, and has been for over d century in the possession of the Magnica family. It has the reputation of not being lucky for it's owner. At the same time things with that reputation always spell triumph for Mrs. Drummond. whose lucky day is Friday and lucky color green, and who declares 13 is her fortunate number.
 She has an uncommon taste in most things, especially dress, and promptly dis cards thing when 1t becomes ubiqui- tous.

one of the Cinnamon picking up her
suitcase. Across the almost untray-
eled road they forced her and down
on the stone dock, every footstep
logged by WI and his emissaries.
Get into the boat" WI ordered.
She climbed down into the dirty
yawl, and the Cinnamon tossed her
suitcase after her.
IF you see that for any reason she
is about to escape" added WI savage
ly, do away with her"
He finished with a threatening ges-
ture as the Cinnamon followed Elaine
into the boat. Then he turned on
his heel and walked rapidly back to
the deserted house. There he climbed
into the automobile with the two
toughs and all were rapidly driven
away by the faithless mechanician.
The yawl tossed up and down on
the rough swells that came In from
the ocean, as the powerful arms of
the sailors pulled her out through the
blackness to the schooner.
There Elaine was lifted over the rail
and forced across the deck down into
the murky, ill-smelling hold. 1t made
no difference to Gregor whether he
carried a cargo of contraband or a
white slave. In his gruff voice he bel
lowed orders for getting under way,
while the Chinaman half led, half
pushed Elaine into a cramped room
amidships.
He set down the suitcase and, with
a grunt and scowl left, locking the
door and shutting along the passage
way to steep fight of steps to the
deck
Elaine paced up and down her mar
row prison distracted.
Suddenly she paused a moment as
her eye fell on the suitcase. There
flashed through her mind the message
I had given her from Kennedy.
She seized the suitcase and tore it
open with nervous fingers.

stead of the New Jersey ferry.
It was very late in the afternoon |
did my best to get down to the Battery
with the wireless telephone to meet
Kennedy and Brainard, but it was dark
before got there.
As / hurried down to the dock ! saw
that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting inn
patiently. 1t was fairly stable craft.
They hauled me aboard and we cast
of. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor,
keeping sharp lookout for any sus-
picious craft.
Already WI Fang and a couple of
his lieutenants had gone down to the
Van bort jetty. No message had been
received from Gregor, but they felt
sure that he would be there with the
schooner.
Finally WI directed one of his men
to set off a signal, fiashlight on the
end of the jetty, while he strained his
eyes through the darkness for some
answering signal.
He had not reckoned wrong. Far
out over the water came an answering
signal from the schooner.
Good" exclaimed WI with salts
faction, as he turned and picked his
way back up the dock.
On he went alone until he came to
one of the deserted mansions of a gen.
Grafton or two ago which lined the
shore at that point. There, in a yard
beside it, stood Elaine's car.
Where is the white girl?" asked
WI, calling Johnson.
in the house. MASTER" replied the
mechanician subsequently.
wait for me here, then" nodded
WI.
Down in a musty room in the base
ment OF the deserted house was Elaine.
She was neither bound nor gagged.
In fact, there was no necessity for it.
No one could hear her cries, nor could
she escape, for the two roughnecks who
had seized her were guarding her, be-
sides couple of Cinnamon.
WI Fang came in silently and moved
over close to her. He said not word,
but an evil smile spread over his sim
lister face as she shrank from him.
Meanwhile yawl had put out from
the schooner loaded with cans of the
precious contraband drug and had
pulled up at the old stone jetty and
dock. Cinnamon hastily unloaded it
and started up to the house laden with
the heavy tins.
AS WI stood before Elaine the Chi
namen carrying the dope tins entered
and began piling them up in an old
closet in the room. At last they fin
ished putting 1t away.
'All is done, master" bowed one
who seemed to be leader
WI nodded, then turned to Elaine.
Got" he Kissed, raising his finger
and pointing to the door.
Trembling, she obeyed, and WI

selves at the door and 1t flew open.
Instantly, before the Cinnamon could
recover from their surprise at the sud-
den attack, Craig and Brainard were
on them. One rushed for a window,
smashing 1t with a chair and trying to
get out. Craig seized him and helped
corner the other, who turned out
to be Hop Ling. It was the work
OF only moment to snap the brace
let's on the two and cover them with a
gun.
What's that?" demanded Brainard,
looking at the box in the window, as
Kennedy moved over toward it.
"A pigeon trap, suspect" Craig re-
piled. Let's wait"
They sat there for several minutes.
Evidently the Chinese had been wait
ing for something. Craig felt that
waiting might pay.
At last he was rewarded by the
sound of fiutter outside. A click fol-
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved
Kennedy loked at it a moment, then
carefully opened the door in the back
of the trap and seized the bird. From
the quill on its leg he took tightly
rolled note and read.
VIII be off Van bort jetty in two
hours. GREGOR.
What did it mean? Threats, impre-
cations, nothing could extract word
from the two impressive prisoners.
Come" ordered Kennedy sharply of
Hop Ling, not for moment letting his
vexation show in his face. Walk
ahead of me-"
Two of the gang mad been captured
but WI seemed as far away as ever.
He marched Hop along sullenly, while
Brainard kicked the other Chinaman
to his feet and followed.
They did not have far to go. Scarce
ly block away stood policeman, and
Craig waved to him.
Quickly Craig produced cards of
Identification and they left their hand
cuffed prisoners with the understand
ing that they were to be held until full
charges could be made against them.
At the first telephone pay station
Craig turned in and called up the lab
oratory, to which l had returned.

Walter" he called. You remember
Brainard? Well, want you to meet
me at the Battery, where revenue
cutter will be waiting. Bring along

was deeply engrossed in her own
thoughts.
How far they had gone she did not
pay much attention, but she knew the
roads well. They had come to fork,
and Johnson veered OFF to the left. In
stinctively Elaine knew that the right
hand road was the more direct, and
she touched a little signal that sum-
moned the driver.
You're taking the wrong road" she
called. go to the right"
81 think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge" persisted
Johnson.
1t was, however, merely ruse on
his part to gain time and give some of
Wu's men an opportunity. For as
the car approached the fork, two
roughnecks, hidden behind a rock in
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach of the car had drawn back
closer under cover.
Johnson stopped some hundred feet
or so down the wrong road past the
rock in answer to Elaines signal. 1t
was the chance the roughnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car or vehicle was
in sight. Quickly they skunk down the
road
AS Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stubbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her,
while huge, very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her mouth.
She struggled, but it was of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
of the car. Johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat. from which
he had descended, leaving the engine
running.
"To the Van bort jetty," growled
one roughneck. They'll be there
soon"
Quickly johnson shot the car along

washington. Eight names appear
On the State Departments list OF
American passengers not found among
survivors of the lost White Star liner
Arabic. A dispatch from the consul
at Queenstown, relayed by Ambassador
Page, at London. gives the list
Mrs. r. T. Moore. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Burgess, ]. Kellett. Mrs. Jo-
sephine L. Bruguiere, DR.. Edward
F. Woods. James Houlihan and
Thomas Gilmore.
No decision has been reached by
President Wilson and his advisers as
To what the course of the government
should be in connection with the sink
ing of the Arabic, and none will be
until all the facts are at hand and
sufficient time has been given for their
thorough consideration. One OF the
main points to be determined Is
whether the Arabic was under the
convoy of British warships when she
was torpedoed. If she was being con-
vowed the German submarine was
within its rights in sinking her with
out warning. And this government
would not be entitled to make an issue
of the case with Germany.
But the State Department does not
believe that the Arabic was under con-
voy. This belief is based on state
ments OF survivors that they were In
small boats of the liner four and a
half hours before they were picked up
by steamers sent to their relief.
According to the view of officials of
the department, the boats of the Arabic
would have been picked up by the con-
voying vessels long before the expira-
ton of that length of time II the
Arabic had been under convoy when
she was torpedoed.
Several OF the American survivors
were injured.
The White Star Line officials in New
York figured IA passengers in all miss
ing or lost, and according TO their
checking of the list only two of these
are Americans. Mrs. Josephine l..
Bruguiere and DR.. Edmund Woods.
The American Consul at Queens
town, Lewis c. Thompson, is supply
ing the American survivors with all
necessities. He has provided for them
documents which will enable them to
travel without being inconvenience
by military regulations.
The attitude of the American gov
eminent for the moment is receptive,
anxiously awaiting accurate details
and reserving Judgment as to whether
the action was deliberately unfriend-
ly." The final decision rests with
President Wilson.
