Huh! l guess you're right" said
Sherman thoughtfully. "You see, we
don't know much about diplomacy out

Interruption came startingly. A SER
geant and three soldiers with guns
swung through the open doors from
waterproof street. Gun butts struck
the floor with a heavy thud. The SER
geant stepped forward and saluted Al
mer with a businesslike sweep of hand
to visor.
"See here, landlordrv the sergeant
spoke up briskly. "Fritz, the barber,
lives here, does he not?' Almer nod
ded. 1--WE want him. Find him in the
barber shop, eh?"
The sergeant turned and gave direc-
lions to the guard. They tramped
through a swinging door by the side
of the desk while the Shermans, par
ents and daughter alike, looked on,
with round eyes. In less than a min
ute the men in khaki returned, escort
ing a quaking man in white Jacket.
The barber, greatly fustered, protested
in English strongly reminiscent Of his
fatherland.
"Orders to take you, Fritz" the ser
geant explained not unkindly.

and eyed him coldly.
81 do not know you. Some mistake"
Woodhouse said.
Almer was moving around from be-
hind the desk with the soft tread of a
cat, his eyes fixed on the hard bitten
face of Capner.
"Hahi Don't recognize the second
cabin passengers aboard the Princess
Mary, eh?' Capper sneered. Little bit
discriminating that way, eh? Well,
my names Capper-Mr. William Cap
per. Never heard the name-in Alex
andria-what2"
You are drunk. Stand aside!"
Woodhouse spoke quietly. His face
was very white and strained. Almer
launched himself suddenly between
the two and laid his hands roughly on
Capper's thin shoulders.
"Out you go!' he choked in a thick
cultural. I'll have no loafer insulting
guests In my house"
"Oh, you won't, won't you? But sup

Before I throw you out, kindly

mer had Capper facing the door; his
grip was iron. The smaller man tried
to walk to the door with dignity.
There he paused and looked back over
his shoulder.

he called back. remember the name
against the time we'll meet again.
Capper-Mr. William Capper."
Capper disappeared. Almer came
back to begin profuse apologies to his
guest. Woodhouse was coolly lighting
a cigarette. Their eyes met.

they want to have you where they can
keep their eyes on you. Sorry, you
know"
"Close in! March!'' commanded the
sergeant. The guard surrounded the
hapless barber and wheeled through
the door, their guns hedging his white
jacket about inexorably. Sherman's
hands spread his coattails wide apart,
and he rocked back forth on heels and
toes, his eyes smoldering.
Come on, father'-Kitty had slip
ped her hand through her dads arm
and was imparting direct strategy in
a low voice-"we'H take mother down
the street to look at the shops and
make her forget our troubles. They've
got some wonderful Moroccan baZaars
In town. Baedeker says So"
"Shops, did you say?" Mrs. Sherman
perked up at once, forgetting her grief
under the superior lure.
Eyes, mother. Come on, let's go
down and look 'em over" Sherman's
good humor was quite restored. he
pinched Kitty's arm In compliment for
her guile. Maybe they'll let us look
at their stuff without charging any
thing. But we couldn't buy a postage
stamp, remember"
They sailed out into the crowded
street and lost themselves amid the
scourings Of Africa and south Europe.
Almer was alone in the office.
The proprietor fdgeted. He walked
to the door and looked down the street
in the direction of the quays. He pull
ed his watch from his pocket and COM
pared it with the blue face of the
Dutch clock on the wall. His pudgy
hands clasped and unclasped them
selves behind his back nervously. An
Arab hotel porter and runner at the
docks came swinging through the front
door with a small steamer trunk on
his shoulders. and Almer started for
ward expectantly. Behind the porter
came a tall we'll knit man dressed in
quiet travelling suit-the Captain Wood
house who had sailed from Alexan-
dria as a passenger aboard the Prin-
cess Mary.
He paused for an instant as his eyes
met those of the proprietor. Almer
bowed and FASTENED behind the desk.
Woodhouse stepped up to the register
and scanned it casually.
"a room, sir?" Almer held out a
pen inyitingly.
"For the night, yes" Woodhouse an
swered shortly, and he signed the reg
lister. Almer's eyes followed the strokes
Of the pen eagerly.
"Ah, from Egypt, captain? You
were aboard the Princess Mary, then?'
"From Alexandria, yes. Show me
my room, please. Beastly tired"
The Arab porter darted forward, and
Woodhouse was turning to follow him
when he nearly collided with a man
just entering the street door. 1t was
Mr.. Billy Capper.
Both recoiled as their eyes met. Just
the faintest flicker of surprise, instant
ly suppressed, frightened the muscles
of the captains jaws. He murmured
a BEG pardon and started to pass.
Capper deliberately set himself in the
others path and, with a wry smile,
held out his hand.

BRAVES ARE DOING
SPLENDID STICK WORK
Philadelphia Is In the Cellar
Losing Five Of Six Games
in The Week
By II. c. Hamilton.

United Press staff correspondent
New York, April 23.-It is the Braves
again who are proving the stiekers in
the side OF the Giants With five vic
tories last week and only one defeat.
/ they lead the New Workers. who won
four aud last two, but they are slightly
in the rear Of John McGrawis s club in
the league standing.
The Cardinals and Braves performed
| the same stunt, each winning quintet
Of games. In the case of the Cardinals
il may be an exhibition of early season
pep" but with the braves it is differ
ent. After suecumbing to the Giants
in the opening series they came to New
York and so far have dumped the fa-
vorites for one fall out of two starts.
They are carded for another crack at
McGraw today.
Philadelphia turned up with the poor
est record of the week in the National
league, winning only one and losing
five.
The champion Dodgers won two and
lost four.
Pitching fragility seems to have de-
scended on Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
Neither Of these clubs, each given a
chance in the race, has startel slipping
because of this defect.
The White Sox are running along
early season predictions and start this
week with five victories and one defeat
back of them for the last six days. The
Red Sox were second with four won
and one lost.
The Senators brought up the rear in
the American league, winning only one
game and dropping four.
The White Sox and Red Sox seem to
have, so far, the only stable hurting
staffs in the American league. The
others have Shown decided erratic ten

Credit tie Honey Bee.

New England doesn't begin to pro-
duce tho honey Il should. According to
Professor Gates OF the Massachusetts,
college, who 10 recognized as one Of the
leading eastern authorities on apiary
culture, the Bay state alone would con-
sumo 10, ,0O0, 900 pounds honey annually
II 1t could get It. It's production is
about 1000, 900 pounds. The war has
added greatly to the demand. Electro.
typers are using large quantities OF wax
instead of mineral wax, which formerly
was Imported. Only a'few days ago q
consignment of 1000 tons honey left
New York for Italy, presumably for the
troops. Honey is an even better heat
producer than sugar. Government ex-
perts have been urging beekeepers the
past season to produce all they possibly
could, and except for the unfavorable
weather the crop would have been q
bumper one. Prices ara much better
than two or three years ago for both
comb and extracted product. The lat
ter has practically doubled in price,
Outside of honey value, bees arc great
asset In pollinating fruits. The average
fruit grower doesn't give the humble
honey bee sufficient credit, and We
venture that the fruit crop would be
materially increased II there were more
bees. AZ Professor Gates we'll says ouI
farmers ought to be producing siz
times the amount Of honey that they
are. Why not give the industrious
honey bee moro attentiops-New England
