SYNOPSIS

LudOra is left an orphan at an early
age. Her father is killed in a gold
mine he has discovered. Half an hour
after hearing of the death of her hus-
band, Zudora's mother-a tight rope
walker with a circus--is seized with a
vertigo, falls and Is killed
Zudora and the fortune from the
mine, which grows to be worth $780,
100000, are let in the guardianship of
Frank keene, circus man, Zudora's
mothers brother. Zudora giving pro-
mise of great beauty, reaches the age
of Is. The uncle, who has set himself
up as Hindu mystic and is known
as Hassam Ali, decides in his greed
that Iudora must die before she can
have chance to come into possession
Of her money, SO that it may be left to
him. the next of kin, and he prevails
upon her to leave her money in his
hands three years longer and say
nothing to anyone about the fortune.
HasSam Ali sees an obstacle to his
scheme in the person of John Storm,
a young lawyer, for whom Iudora has
taken a fancy, and he commands the
girl to put the man out of her mind
Storm comes to ask Hassam Ali for
the hand of his niece. At first the
crystal gazer will not listen to the pro-
posal, hut Iudora insists that if she
cannot marry Storm she will marry
no one.
We'll, Well" says Hassam Ali, IF
you take such a stand, I'll compro-
mise. Solve the next twenty cases and
you can marry him; fall in a single
case and you must renounce him.
Zudora using the knowledge gained
from years of association with her
uncle, unravels a series of battling
mysteries,

CHAPTER TX
THE MISSING HEIR

There was something strange about
This man Hassam Ali. There were
times when he seemed young, times
when he seemed old, careworn, broken
Zudora thought nothing of these subtle
changes, however; her mind was occu-
pied with other affairs. But Hassam
Ais servant knew what it signified
and he boarded his savings against
shat day when he would have no mas
ter! For long time he knew that il
was not Hassam Ali who went forth
from the mystic room, but Hassan
Ais double, and a very dangerous
double had Hassam Ali known
The man was fond of money, though
ne was not quite the miser Hassam
was. But often, while in the mystic
room, going through the mummery he
disliked and despised he could hear
the real Hassam counting gold. which
Baird determined some day to get hold
of He lived in the house directly
back of the mystic, and there was a
secret tunnel between the two houses
In the beginning he had followed
Sout Hassam Alfs orders without any
particular notice of the victim but
after the affair of WI Chang, Baird
: awoke to the fact that Zudora was and
his interest in doing away with John
Storm began to have something more
than a negligible interest But Zu-
dora! That was another matter after
he began to recognize that his heart
beat faster whenever she came into
his presence It was fortunate that
Hassam Ali was by nature cold and
undemonstrative in the matter of be-
slowing affection. Baird longed to
touch her, but knowing his part, dar-
ed not.
Hassam Ais long black hair was,
III Zudora very well knew, nothing but
aSVkg Except that Baird's skin was
d little fresher, he and Hassam Ali
might easily have posed as twins
There was no occasion for Zudora
then, to look upon this substitute for
her uncle with suspicion. She began
to suspect his attitude, but not his
personality So Baird banked thd
fires in his eyes, and endeavored to
think OF her as little possible. But
thoughts are masters, and they lead us
whittier they will,
Gone day he entered the secret cham
Der at the foot of the shaft to confer
with the real Hassam ALI who lay up.

How do you feel today?"
".'Hadly," said Zudoras uncle. "Yo,
have failed three times"

than you, if that is what you mean,
,said Baird, without much humility
81 have told you that Zudora bears
charmed life; luck is always with her

SOLDIERS WHO WEAR Wells
British Troops In Southwest Africa
Have to Conduct Campaign
Under Difficulties.

One of the hottest places where the
British are fighting is in German
Southwest Africa, where General
Botha is in command of an expedition
against the enemy. The habitable part
of German Southwest Africa lies in
the center Of sun-scorched, water
less, shadeless desert of shifting sand,
and General Botha's men have to carry
everything they need, for nothing
whatever can be obtained from the
country, not even fodder for the ami
mails.
The sand penetrates everywhere,
and the heat of the sun is so terrific
that all the troops fighting with Gen
eral Botha have been served out with
wells and goggles" Without them,
indeed, it would be impossible to get
along at all, and, as it is, hundreds
of the Boer burghers, though hardened
campaigners, have been so blistered
by the sun that they are in hospital.
The heat at midday is 1872 degrees
in the shade and the Shade" is a
sweltering tent. Many Of the troops
pass that time of the day with moth
ing on but sun helmet and q pair
of boots.

Undergone Change.

With the new navy has grown up
new line Of slang, perhaps not SO salt
watery as was the old, but edged with
as much point.
"Shfver my timbers'' was phrase
That gave a yarn peculiar merit,
Or added force to our ideas,
But now it's changed to "Swash my
tufret."
No longer do the men in navy blue
refer to the chaplain as the "Sky Pr
lot" To them he is known as "The
Fire Escape" There are no more
main braces TO splice" and, more
over, nothing nowadays to splice 1t
with-that is, nothing on shipboard
So the phrase has fallen into disuse
And as there are no more sails to
liam" their way into the wind, the
term "windjammer" has been trans
ferred to the bugler.

ferred to as "Pills" The engineers

SHE QUIT
But IL Was a Hard Putt.

It is hard to believe,that coffee will
put a person In such a,condition as it
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story:
Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked it
so well would not, and could not,
quit drinking 1t, but was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
GUS prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for
anything. Was emaciated and had q
constant pain around my heart until l
thought / could not endure 1t.
Frequently I had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. l was gradually
getting worse until finally l asked my
self what's the use of being sick all
the time and buying medicine so that
I could indulge myself In coffee?
so got some Postum to help me
quit. / made 1t strictly according to
directions and want to tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
life. It was easy to quit coffee be-
cause ! now like Postum better than
the coffee.
"One by one the old troubles left
until now l am in splendid health
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any me6i-
cine, can do all my house work and
have done great deal besides"

one has seen Stefansson or the two
men he kept with him since then. His
vessel, the Karluk, drifted several hun
dred miles to the westward and was
crushed III the ice. Part of those
aboard the Karluk were rescued
through the perseverance of McCon-
Laell
Then Mcdonnell came back to the
States and started his efforts to or
ganize relief expedition. 1t was he
who evolved from his brain the idea of
3hydro-aeroplane. Many of his plans
were talked over in the Eight Oars,
IL. w. DemingIs studio in artistic Mac
alougal alley.
The Canadian government is ci1ided
by Mcconnell for failing to fit cut a
relief expedition, as Stefansson is npon
Canadian service. But the great war
has interviewed and monopolizes Cana
Gia2s energies.
81 consider it my duty to search for
Stefanss0n," Mcconnell said. ''As al
sgrrvivorGof the expedition, i shall not,
be content to sit Idly and inlcomfort I'M
civilization until know that my COM
rades are safe, or what has happened
to them"
Opinions differ as TO what, las hap
pene& to Stsfansson. He maybe drift
ing on field of ice somewhere north
of Alaska. In this event he would
reach Siberia, if still alive, abOat two
years from pew.
Mcconnell thus outlined his plans
recently:
"Our expedition is not more hope
less than that of the Rodgers, which

Jeanette f@ 1879, two years after she
had sailed.

In her letter the woman stated that
more than a year ago she and her
daughter were in the depot waiting for
a train. The daughter placed penny
in the weighing machine, and after 1t
had registered her weight and before
she stepped from the machine, the
mother stepped on also and was

more than a million square miles.
Truly this the last frontier the last
unexplOred area on the face of the
globe. The prime object of the Cana
dian Arctic expedition was to explore
that area as much as possible, but
when the Karluk was lost Stefansson
was compelled to rearrange his plans
accordingly. He Immediately decided
to go over the treacherous, moving,
crushing ice fields north of Alaska in
search of the continent which some
students of tidal phenomena have ar
gued eXisks--and which others have
argued as ,oonclusively does not ,ex-
list
Admiral Peary and the president of
the Aero club both declare the plan
feasible. My plans are simple. We
would leave the ship, which would be
near the shore, every favorable morn
ing, flying about 800 feet high, and go
in straight line to point I75 miles
from shore, scanning the ice fields
with powerful glasses. Then We would
b turn at right angles for 20 mics, turn
fagain and fly to Shore parallel to the
outgoing course.
1.-The ship, in the meanwhile, would
have sailed to a point 20 miles east
along the coast, where she would wei
come us back.
81 would bring together the crew
and outfit at Victoria, IL. c., as Stefans-
son did. We should sail from home
not later than June I, 1876. The hydro
aeroplanes would have to be thorough
ly tried out before starting and then
could be set up either at Nome or Port
Clarence and tried again. The date Of
sailing from Port Clarence, which has
the best Ihs.rbor on the northwest coast
of Alaska, will depend on the state Of
the arctic ace pack, which generally
comes down to Boring strait late in
July or early in August
THE hydoaeroplanes would be of
the most reliakle type, with carrying
capacity of two men and 100 pounds.
Their tanks should hold enough fuel
for a 400-mile trip, and their pontoons
should be REINFORCED and equipped
with sled runners, so that we may land
at will on ice or water. Both ma
chimes should be of identical build,
so that parts may be interchanged in
the event of an accident to one of the
planes"
Mr.. Mcconnell believes Stefansson
has found the mysterious land he went
out to look for and is now unable to
return to his base on the north coast
of Alaska.
Mcconnell was one of the three
members of this expedition who
gained the mainland of Alaska after
drifting about on the ice for nearly
month He thinks Stefansson is able
to provide for the party of three with
the two rifles and 400 pounds of am
munition they had when last seen.
When Stefansson babe farewell to
Mcconnell and the meteorologist of
the expedition he kept with him two
companions, Storkersen and Ole An
derson.
1t was quite fitting that these three
adventurous spirits should be descend
ants of the race of Left Ericsson, the
man who probably discovered Amer
ica
All three were picked veterans of
many arctic campaigns. They knew
all the wiles of the Eskimos, be-
sides the scientific learning of the
white men. Only some terrible mis-
fortune could have extinguished them
