torious character OF Singapore, to
kill him. This recalls to wallen
an incident OF his childhood which
seems connected with the confess
sion. While delirious, Wallen en-
tiers In the ships log the fact OF
his death and abandons the vessel
in a small boat. Wallen's boat
drifts to the island Of Arru and a
cares for him. Learning that a
ship is in port on the other side OF
the island, twenty miles away,
wallen, though unit for the task,
starts to reach II. He sets out but
falls exhausted on the trail. There
he is found by n man and woman
who are from the ship he was try
ing to reach, Mott, first mate, and
Helen MacKay. a passenger. They
convey him to the vessel The ship
the Monleigh, Captain Laynton.
Laynton tells wallen the vessel had
been chartered by Wallen's father
to find him. the father knowing his
son to be In grave danger because
OF q ong-standing feud between the
elder Wallen and notorious pirate,
Ram Gulab Singh. Laynton also
informs him OF the death of his
father, explaining that the fatality
was believed to be an accident.
Wallen instantly associates his ia
theirs death with the Chinaman's
confession on the Upolo. He takes
over the charter of the vessel and
sail for Singapore. Helen MacKay
explains that she is on a visit TO
an aunt in Sumatra. Wallen agrees
to take her there. just touching at
Singapore, where he is determined
to fathom the mystery of Drink
House Sans enmity. He falls in
love with her. While looking over
his fathers papers. which Laynton
had turned over to him, Wallen is
startled by the thrusting of a piece
OF paper beneath his cabin door.
On the paper is traced a human
hand from which all but the fore
finger had been hacked away. He
recognizes 1t as of sinister import,
connected with the death OF his IA
Their. At Singapore Wallen leaves
the ship, alone, and visits Drink
House Sans bar-room, determined
to force from him an calculation OF
the mystery.

CITY HAS LONG BEEN DEAD
Tiahusnseo, In Bolivia, Collection Of
Ruins Of Which Even the Ineas

One of the numerous cities claiming
the title oldest city In the world"
is Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca In
Bolivia, A thousand years ago, say
the scientists, Tlahuanaco was as dead
as II IL today. and that is practically
all that anybody knows Of its history.
Even the Incas, who hold a record for
antiquity in South America, admitted
to their first Spanish visitors that they
knew nothing about Tahuanaco, e.
cept that II was very probable that
the stone images scattered over tho
ruins were the people Of the city turned
into stone by some angry god.
There would be nearly as much OF

Tiahuanaco. A few stone gods as
huge and angular as any deities OF

by worn carved stones are scattered
over a great desolate plain. Yet from
these battered relics with their cryptic
carvings the Psychologists hope some
day to reconstruct the story Of mys-

the bark In a boat and-what's wrong.
Mr.. Marle1"
The ford face, a miserable fear
stamped upon 1t, and a grayish color,
and the man, jaw-sagged, was staring
across the table. A fierce Joy swept
Wallen-and then uneasiness. Per-
haps, after sll. his strategy had been
faulty.
Drink-HOuse Sam was evidently
placing a far different Interpretation
on Ting Wah's dying message than he,
Wallen, had intended. And then, to
Wallen's amazement, as abruptly as
fear had come into the others face II
was gone, and In its place was sud
den relief, genuine enough for all the
shrewd, cunning CLEAN Of the eyes
that accompanied II.
"You say you are Wallen, eh, the
first mater" asked Marie craftily.
"Yes," said Wallen composedly.
"Then you're a Siarl" Marie shouted
instantly and sprang up from his seat.
There was an echOing creak Of

over the room, the scuffie Of heavy

CATCH INSECTS BY SUCTION
Method OF Sharing Vineyard Pest IL
Being Used In State Of
4 California.

Some Of the worst renemies OF the
crops are moths. As moths, they are
harmless, but the caterpillars Matched
from their eggs are wholesale destroy
ers.
Every housewife is 1amentably ia
milIar with the disgusting worm so
commonly found in the ears Of sweet
corn that she buys for her table. Few
ears seem to escape its attack, while
many are half devoured.
This filthy creature Is the offspring
Of a moth that flies only in the night
time, says the Kansas City Star. Often
present in countless numbers in the
cornhelds, Il fits about, hying its eggs,
one here and another there, on the
silks of the corn. The caterpillars,
as soon as Matched, find their way to
the growing ears, creep into them, and
begin to devour the grain.
Various schemes have been tried for
trapping the moths. Pans of sweeten-
ed water poisoned with cyanide of
potassium have been scattered about
In the field, to attract them. Lamps,
to draw them have been hung over
receptacles containing kerosene, SO
that the fumes might suffocate them.
These and other contrivances have
captured many moths; but, for some
unexplained reason, nearly all Of them
we're males. So what was the user
The "browntail' caterpillar for some
years has been causing a great deal of
trouble In Massachusetts,, chiefly by
scattering its poisonous hairs, which
float about in the air, get into peoples
clothing and engender a horrid rash.
Persons have been made very sick by
them and one man died.
In this case, likewise, the parent
moths are night fliers, and efforts have
been made to trap them by hanging arc
lights over vessels Of kerosene. Here
again, however, those captured were
nearly all males.
The worst enemy Of the grape grow
ers in California is a minute insect
called the thunder fly" because 1t ap-
pears in greatest numbers In hot and
sultry weather when thunderstorms
are frequent. A man out there has
invented a suction apparatus, with a
ten-horse power blower, that is placed
on wheels and driven through the vine
yards, harvesting the pests from the
vines as 1t goes along. 1t is said to
work very successfully.
An even more remarkable contriv-
ance IL used In Germany to capture
wholesale the 'nunmoths" that devas-
tate the forests. 1t is provided with
two powerful searchlights that draw
the moths from miles away (the ap-
paratus being placed on top of build
lng), and they are further attracted
by a pair Of arc lamps on either side
Of a suction ventilator. An electric
motor causes the fans of the ventila-
tor to revolve rapidly, thereby pro-
ducing an intake of air that swallows
every moth approaching within few
feet. Through the ventilator they pass
into a wire let cage. A single ma
chine of this kind has been known to
catch 100 pounds of moths a night.

Airship Construction Complex.

Some interesting facts regarding
the work required in building a large
modern airship is given in a recent
issue Of the Engineer, which states
that the general problems of design
are closely allied to those of naval
architecture; although the airship de-
signer must be highly skilled me
chaniCal engineer and also must have
a knowledge of textile technology.
For the work of construction, owing
to the multiplicity of parts required, a
very efficient shop organization is
necessary. In rigid airship struc-
ture, excluding the machinery, there
are 10000 different parts, a total
length of structure material of 20
miles of wire, and more than 100000
rivets.

puffed, blue-veined arms, a man whose

Wallen crossed TO the bar, and con-
fronted the big man in shirt sleeves.
"Are you the proprietor here?" he
asked. "The man the coolies call

voice, I'D like few minutes Of your

fidentially.
The man stared at him for a mo-

Of cunning and surprise creeping into
the small, black, red-rimmed, shlfty
eyes-then he stepped abruptly out
from behind the bar led the way to
an empty table at the end of the room

down into a chair.
Wallen followed, but remained stand

"Huh !" snorted Marie. Everybody

"But that's nothing to do with what

The thrust was unexpected, as Wal

an involuntary start leaned sharply
forward over the table and then, with
a clumsy attempt to cover his agita-
