NEW YORK TO HAVE

For the first time in the history
of the automobile double-header
will be held in New York city, jan

and pleasure car show will be held
simultaneously. No one building
could be found either in New York
or in Chicago large enough to ac-
commodate both shows.

motor truck is the event of outstand-
ing interest in the automotive indus
try. With it are brought into promi-
nence the various phases of the high
way transportation problem, which
will be discussed at the transporta-
tion conferences planned in conjunc-
tion with the motor truck shows in
both New York and Chicago.
Service Is Big Item.
One of the angles of motor high
way transportation not generally un-
derstood by the public is the enor-
NOUS sums expended by the motor
truck manufacturer in supplying
service to the owners. Although the
motor truck industry has grown by
leaps and bounds, manufacturers have
developed their service systems to
keep pace. This involves maintenance
of costly factory service departments
to superintend the service policies of
the dealers. as well as employment
of travelling transportation and me-
chanical experts to inaugurate the
service policies of the company and
advise the purchaser of truck as to
efficient and economical operation and
maintenance.
In these days of factory supervised
service it is possible for a truck
owner to obtain prompt adjustments
and repairs. which means a minimum
loss of time of the services of the
truck. In many instances the service
policies provide the use of a truck
or a unit while the damaged vehicle
is being repaired.

Chapter Five
Bv Col. Robert N. Harper

Mrs. Emery Thayer has just cause
for haste.
She had wormed her personality
into the confidence of Madeline
Lucille Connor-or at least she was
reasonably sure she had-she had
played the role Of advising protec-
tress to the point of almost regu-
lating the movements Of the I'M
sophisticated girl from the mountain
ranges of Colorado.
She had persistently waited an
opportunity to make a thorough
search OF Madeline's belongings
and now that the search had been
completed, there was but one thing
to do-pursue an entirely different
course. Her experience with Kim
ball, we'll timed and almost success
full, as it was, had worked in a
direction she had not anticipated.
Fuller and Snyder would not heed
her demands that the semi-cOnscious
aviator be taken elsewhere than WI
Tsang's temple-they had gone di-
rectly against her wishes and now
the spectre of possible defeat arose
before her in all its CHASTITY pos
sibilities.
True. she had made an agreement
to work hand in hand with Tom
Fuller and John Snyder, but, pshaw,
they must know by this time that
she was playing a double and a
deeper game than they had ever
dreamed OF.
OF WI Tsang she inwardly admit
ted her fear-the far-reaching hand
of the Oriental, his devilish cunning
and his fanaticaI phantasy, TO weave
q golden web about the great Far
East-were all fresh in the mind Of
the woman who for years had been
internationally known as one Of the
cleverest opponents Of diplomatic
intrigue.
For more than year she had
schemed, at the bidding of the hid
den group she represented, to obtain
he process for the transmutation Of
baser metals into gold, which it was
momentarily anticipated would be
perfected by Prof. John Stanton
Conner, of Colorado.
That the process had been per-
fected, she knew; she also knew that

OuS on the street, with her mind
seething with the terrifying events
of the past few hours, Madeline
walked, or almost ran, down Con-
necticut avenue in her desire to get
away from the place where she
thought, at that very moment
might be happening, even murder.
A bicycle policeman jumped from
his wheel almost directly in her
path as he asked: Pardon me,
lady, but is there anything the mat
ter-are you trying 20 get away
from anyone, or has anybody fright
ened you ?"-to which Madeline, re-
covering her mental poise quickly,
answered: ooh, no, I'm just out of
breath from walking too fast, +
guess. Pm trying to reduce"
and with a forced merry laugh she
stepped around the bicycle and con-
tinued on her way downtown.
The policeman scratched his head
meditatiyely as he muttered, Some
thing funny about that girl-she's
walking mighty fast for one Of our
people, and she looks to me as
though she has been in some kind
Of scrimmage. Oh, well, as long as !

funeral" and, letting it go at that,
he mounted his wheel and peddaled
out Connecticut avenue.
Not knowing the car lines, Made
line decided to walk to the down.
town center of the city. She now
began to realize that in her excite
ment she had lost the chart which
she had carried from her Colorado
home. She knew she had wrapped
it up in the package of photographs
which she had hurled with such
telling aim at the face Of Tom
Fuller when the latter tried to trap
her in his office in the Munsev
building, but now-Fuller and Sny-
der she knew were prisoners in the
basement of WI Tsang's temple,
and with this assurance came the
determination to revisit the office
of the Fidelis Syndicate and make
a search for the missing chart.
Half an hour later found her en-
tering the Munsey building and,
reaching the eleventh floor, she
walked resOlutely to the door leading
to the Fidelis Syndicate. The door
was unlocked, the furniture was in
disorde-; there, near the radiator
was the slender bit Of ribbon with
which she had tied up the package,

Madeline called a taxi and directed
that she be taken to the Capitol Park
Hotel.
On arriving at the hotel she was
dumbfounded when the clerk, in
answer to her request, "the key to
my room, please" answered blankly
why, Miss Connor, your aunt

but the photograph and the chart
were missing.
Hastily leaving the office Made
line descended in the elevator and
started down Pennsylvania avenue
towards the Raleigh. Just as she
was crossing Thirteenth street, a
big touring car swerved in her path,
and looking up, she recognized the
faces of Fuller and Snyder, both of
whom failed to notice her as the car
continued its journey north on Thir-
tenth street.
Going to the desk at the Raleigh,
Madeline left word with the clerk
that she would be in the ladies' din
ing room, in the event there was
either telephone message or should
Major Knowles call for her, and re-
ceiving assurances from the clerk
that her wishes would be followed,
Madeline entered the dining room
and ordered something to eat.
After waiting an hour in the din
ing room without any word from
Knowles, Henderson or Kimball,
Madeline took up a good vantage
point in the lobby where she waited
and watched the clock. For five hours
the girl sat there and then decided to
leave a Tote for Major KnowleSafter

at strikes me there are a whole
lot Of houses on Connecticut avenue
covered with IVY" remarked Major
Knowles in an exasperated tone, as
he and Captain Henderson walked
rapidly along, scanning each house
separately in the hopes of finding the
House of Mystery they were search
ing for.
"Hey, Knowles, look at that house
over there!" suddenly exclaimed
Henderson, as he pointed across the
avenue to a grim, almost forbidding
looking mansion heavily covered with
ivy.
"I7l bet the quarter deck against
the bridge that's the very battleship
we're looking for. Come on, let's in
vestigate." And leading the way,
Henderson, followed by Knowles,
crossed the avenue, climbed the
steps and looked for the electric push
button.
Not finding either a push button,
or bell knob, Knowles tried the door,
it was unlocked, and sure they had
located their quarry, both men
stepped noiselessly within the hail.
A strange sweet odor, as of burning
perfume, greeted their nostrils as
they advanced warily along the wide
hall until they reached a half open
door.
Get your shootin' irons ready,
Captain, whispered Knowles, as ne
whipped a big As automatic from
his pocket. Henderson, unbuttoning
his coat, reached both hands back

the recesses of his clothing, ~acn

Henderson gave an involuntary
start as he came face to face with
three evil-looking celestiaIs, all
powerfully built, who were standing
with their backs 20 a beautifully
carved image of Buddha resting at
the far end of the room. In an in
slant, the three Cinnamon were
looking into the muzzles of three
guns, held in the steady hands of i

room, packed and locked the trunk,
the unsuspecting Western girl hav-
ing left the key in the lock.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Thayer
and two steamer trunks were being
whirled to Union Station in a taxi.
That, however, was an old-time sub
terfuge of the woman, who, the mo-
ment the taxi had disappeared, hailed
another, and with the two trunks on
front, ordered the driver to take her
to the Hotel Raleigh.
