PACIFIC MAIL FLAG
FLIES OVER ECUADOR.
Big Company Sends First Of
Its New Liners On Way to
the Orient

San Francisco, Aug. ss.--With tho
steamer Ecuador day out for the
Orient on her maiden voyage as Pa
cific Mail liner, the Stars and Stripes
are once more flying from an Amor
lean owned in the trans-Pacific trade.
The sailing marks the resumption Of
service on the Pacific by the Pacific
Mail after discontinuance following the
passage of the LaFollette seamen $ act,
the company holding that the provisions
made it impossible to operate at a
profit.
The return of the American flag to
the Oriental trade was the occasion for
patriotic demonstration as the vos-
sci cleared. A vast crowd gathered
at the pier to cheer the Ecuador's de-
parture, and the ship sailed out of the
harbor led by the battleship Oregon
and escorted by tugs and harbor vessels,
shrilly whistling.

costume kept dancing into Mary's line
Of vision. She was leaning back
against her partners arm, looking into
his eyes, a taunting smile on her thin
vivid lips.
While Mary IA deciding that this
was quite the most disgusting type OF
woman she had ever seen. the strange
girl and her partner collided clumsily
with another couple, The woman
with whom they collided-a plump
blonde and beautifully gowned-got
the worst Of the collision.
Mary saw her bend down and rub
her ankles. Then, while proper apol-
ogies were made by the woman in
black and her partner, the little blonde
limped away OF her partners arm and
sought refuge on q settee nea Mary.
The acute pain in her foot must have

After taking a few swallows, Mary
saw the blonde girl put her hand over
her heart and draw q deep breath OF
relief. But the expression of renewed
strength gave way instantly to startled
surprise. She IA passing her hands
rapidly over the front Of her elabor.
ately embroidered gown.
What's the matter, Mrs. Hipkle?"
Mary heard the young man say.
I've lost my brooch-my diamond
brooch" gasped the woman. Il had

Surely 1t must be around some.

be you dropped 1t when we had our
tumble. Wait here and I'll 90 look
around that spot"
mo. I'll come with you. It's made
me nervous. I couldn't sit still"
AS they passed several chatting
groups Mrs. Hinkle announced her
loss, loudly. Soon the floor was COW
cred with people searching for the
missing diamonds.
Suddenly Mary realized that June
was not in the little throng of search.

intent upon the hand that lamar held
prisoner. A smooth white surface with
just the tiniest golden brown freckle
on one knuckle met his eye. He
laughed at the other two in sheer
amusement.
May l present Mr.. Drew, Miss
Travis? And Count Freel, Miss
Travis. It's strange you people
haven't met before Surfton is a small
place."
1T is strange you haven't met at
some OF the functions that have been
given at the hotel. You men are stop
ping there and I'm sure Miss Travis
attends all the Dances" said Max.
Il do, indeed" said June gaYly.
There's to be a bah there tonight, by
the way. Mother and / are going.
Won't l e you all there?"
"ITl be there" he promised firmly.
And I'll bring the count and Drew
with me, Miss Travis"
.
Just look at the crowdi" June ex-
claimed with delight, as their car
turned into the drive leading to the
hotel. This is going to be the best
dance Of the season."
An attendant in livery helped them
from the car. June took hold Of Mary's
hand and helped her up the steps.
Just don't you let me catch you
firting-that's ALL" she whispered
wickedly in the old woman's ear; and
Mrs. Travis wondered what Mary's
sudden indignant exclamation was
about.
"Everyone's going inside, DEAR" the
nurse said, as they reached the top
Of the steps. Let me take your
things to the coat room or you'll be
late for the first dance"
"Oh. / don't care about the first
dance. / haven't promised 1t to any
one. I'm going to see who's here first.
Stay out here with me just q minute"
She walked to one Of the long
French windows and looked inside.
The scene was gay enough to dispel
any shadows Yet over in one corner,

ers. She jumped up a~nxiously. Mary
wandered about looking into room
after room, with no result.
She decided that Lamar and June
were walking In the grounds. 1t would
be impossible for an old woman with
failing sight to find them out there
in the pale moonlight.
Discouraged and tired out with wor-
ry and the unaccustomed glare and
noise, Mary entered one of the little
rooms OF the main corridor. She sank
into q deep, highbacked chair, uphol-
stored In some soft, velvety, material
and put her head back.
Her imagination tortured her. The
very thing that she had feared had
happened. She had come to the ball
for the express purpose of watching
over her little girl. She had relaxed
her vigilance for . moment and June
had disappeared-in company with
Lamar. With grim horror Mary con
iured up all the terrible things that
might happen Her thoughts resolved
themselves into . waking nightmare
then they faded slowly. A gentle fiut-
tering In the soft lace rufle at the
neck Of her black satin dress, spoke
Of a light, restful sleep. The tricky
doze of approaching old age.
Not twenty feet from the room In
which fatigue had overtaken Mary.
was the oriental smoking room OF the
Hotel Surfton.
Over in one corner, directly In front
Of a pair Of portieres woven from raw
Japanese silk. was a long teakwood
seat. June and Lamar had been sit
ting there for the past half hour;
sometimes talking animatedly, some
times strangely silent.
1T worries me more than anything
I've had to solve in years" Lamar
was saying. i've had the woman in
my very fingers several times and al
ways she's succeeded in giving me the
slip! ! wish that"
Just then a man in evening clothes
appeared in the doorway. Catching
sight of Lamar he beckoned to him,
eagerly. With a murmured apology
to June, the crime specialist got up
and went over to him.
What can l do Tor you, sir?' he
| asked pleasantly,

ed, his chin held closely in n hand
was Lamar, In q brown study.
Mary cFept up beside her and looked
over her shoulder. Her eyes fell ON
Lamar; and she started so violently
that June put out an arm to steady
her.
There's nothing to be frightened
about" she said, soothingly. Nothing
at all, only"
"Only whatr" asked Mary. quaver-
ingly.
Only I'm going to put on my
gloves"
A minute later she entered the bah
room with her mother. Presently she
was surrounded by men imploring her
to allow them to autograph her dance
card. Lamar glanced up, saw her and
started across the floor In her direc-
ton.
Mary, sitting or a little settee
against the wall Of the ballroom saw
him take June's hand and bend over
1t. She half rose from the seat. then
remembered where she was and sat
down again; gripping the arm Of the
chair and watching every mov Of the
little group.
Suddenly a woman appeared at n
Of the pillars-a woman who attracted
attention by her daring attire. She
wore = gown whose foundation was Of
flesh color chiffon. The overdress was
simply q network of jet. The cos
tune was daringly decollete, and
was held in place over the shoulders
by a delicate chain Of Jet beads.
Among the pretty, girlish dance
frocks 1t looked bizarre-all Eut indie
cent.
Just for q moment she leaned
against the pillar, waving a huge,
black ostrich fan to and fro. Over
the soft tips Of the graceful feathers
her eyes met those of a venturesone
young man. She signaled. He obeyed.
Mary watched, until the two were lost
In the maze of dancers. Then her
eyes wandered back to June, who was
still deeply engrossed In what Lamar
was saying.
Mary wished that some of the men
would come up and claim June for a
dance. Anything to be rid OF Lamar.

SIXTH l%NSTALLMENT
FALSE COL0RS"

Hallway down the pier, ON her way
back to the beach, June turned to look
seaward. There was nothing tc
prove that. only a minute before, q
large bundle. heavily weighted and
containing invention plans worth 9
million human lives had plunged tc
depths.
! She bent to pick up q broken shell
that was lying On the edge Of the pier
IA particularly brilliant ray Of sunlight
caught the back Of her hand. making
the red circle look like q scarlet welt
on the white flesh. She covered the
I~telltale mark with her other hand, and
looked around, guilty.
Crouched there, the old, stark feal
cut into her heart for a moment. As
her keen. searching eyes found the
beach she sprang to her feet and start
ed toward a little building on the pier
that had been used for q boat-rentins
Office. Once safe in the shadow II
cast, she looked shoreward again.
On the beach, running around a cor
.ner of the battered shack, she saw
Todd Drew and Count Freel. As she
watched, they a down to the sea
and stood looking about blankly
Their loud, agitated dialogue drifted
out to her family. She caught the
words, (Which way? Find herr"
A wave, a little heavier than the
rest, swished noisily under the pier
Something knocked against one Of the
piles. June turned in sudden fear
She saw the ends Of a perpendicular
wooden ladder showing above the
edge of the stringpiece.
Bending over, she noted that ar
empty rowboat was tied fast just be
low her. She descended, united the
painter and pushed away from the side
Of the pier. Then, dropping on to the
'rower's seat, she adjusted the oars
and pulled with long, easy strokes.
When she felt that she was at 9
safe distance, she rested on her oars
and looked toward the shore.
Too far away to distinguish faces
and well content at her clever escape
June tried not to scan the shore toe
carefully for the two men who were
searching for her.

Why Mary" exclaimed the man in
great surprise, where have you been?
Miss Travis was looking all over for
you. When she couldn't find you she
decided yOu had gone home without
her knowing 1t. She and Mrs. Travis
have left. I'm going that way. Let
me take you home in my car"

Mary lodged down behind the chair
top as the woman slowly turned her
head. After q few seconds the sound
of liquid dripping into a glass made
her anxious to look again.
The woman was holding O small
sponge IN her left hand. She squeezed
II dry into q glass half full OF water,
Smiling whimsicially to herself. she
rubbed the back OF her right hand
with the dampened sponge, The Red
Circle disappeared.
Breathless with excitement, Mary
strained her eyes to catch every move.
She saw the woman take up the glass,
deliberately spill the liquid ON the
floor. and gather a brush. tiny box OF
water color paints and the sponge
from the pedestal. Leaving the glass
where It was, she opened . false
pocket In the skirt OF her gown
dropped the several articles into Il
and quietly left the room
Mary waited until she was reason
ably sure the woman would not re
turn, then left her chair. Hurryine
over to the statue she picked up the
glass and examined 1t, There was nc
mark on 1t except the ring that the
colored water had left. At the foo
of the pedestal was the large, damn
spot. Mary bent to feel It with the
palm of her hand; to make sure the
whole thing wasn't a strange dream.
When she found her way back t
the ballroom 1t was nearly deserted

Travis aud June, she came face t
