hypodermic handy. But the lad didn't
rouse before they got him to the

UP a little by slapping his face, so
they could carry him aboard as if he
was drunk-lots of young bloods are
carried aboard steamers that way, /
understand. They spilled liquor on
his clothes and face, then called the
ships dOctor-you know the ability of
the average ships doctor! Told him
that Shute-who was booked as S. w.
JGnes-had been celebrating before
sailing! The doctor looked him over
and said: He's all seas over, all
right"
But weren't they afraid he might
come to before the ship sailed?"
They took care of that. After the
ships doctor had gone, the doctor
crook gave him a hypodermic-enough
morphine to keep him asleep till noon
the next day, when the ship would be
Rvway cut to sea- A liberal tip to the
room steward, who didn't suspect any
thing wrong, and the greatest second

kfIItng?" asked the ambassador.
The biggest killing the gamblers
have made in years." said Ford.
~Jake Singer and his crowd are sup
posed to have cleaned up several hun
dred thousand dollars"
But you've got him now-Jake
Singer
That's the trOuble-we haven't"
admitted Ford mot one of the
crooks caught so far will admit
Singer had anything to do with it.
They're being paid big money, no
doubt, TO protect him."
Then how do you know that he's
aaiXed up in it?'
I'VE know that the fellow calling
himself Walter Noble has done dirty
work for Singer before. He would
probably go to the penitentiary for
EtiNger-for money"
Then you're up against it?'
~Yes-unless we're right in the way
we size up the case. You see," con-
ffnued Ford, 1.-THE crooks had to do
more than put Shute aboard that ship
and keep him unconscious until she
was out at sea. When he came to and
realized where he was he'd naturally
send a wireless to me. If it went
through, why'd try to rescue him.
SAy-Fd have gotten from the navy
yard tOrpedobOat destroyer and over
taken him! The crooks guessed that.
60 what would they naturally do?"
TRY to buy the wireless Operator!"
answered the willy diplomat.
They did better'n that, we figure.
They made sure of their man and then
put him on the boat-got him in
stalled as the Marconi operator for
the voyage
"You don't tell me! Who'd they
get?'
You'd never guess. He's popularity
regarded as hero-the hero Of the

steamship Regent?" The ambassador
was astOnished.
Iris Ford nodded. "Jerrold Man

age it, the ambassador assured Iris
Ford.
eff you don't mind I'll give you our
position in regard to Jerrold Mansel."
~Certainly-go ahead" said the am
bassador.
1--WE have no desire to prosecute
Mansel-provided we can get from

the tools.
Anyhow, that man Mansel saved
many lives-protected women and
eh1ldren-when the Regent was sink
ing That deed shouldn't be forgot
ten-and we amt going to forget it.
We look upon Mansel as the victim of
other mems greed. First, a greedy
theatrical manager tempted him to
cOmmercialize his heroism-then cast
him adrift when he was no longer a
bOx-Office attraction. Mansel was
broke, got to drinking and had no job.
He was just ripe for Jake Singer to
pluck"
The ambassador nodded vigorously.

$ay-putting Jake Singer in stripes
