WhII. ST'. MYSTERY
 NOT FORGOTTEN
Bv FREDERIC J. 4AsKIN

By FREDERIC J. HAShlN
 New York.---Aithough persistent lv baffled in their efforts to solve the mystery of the Wall Strete ex- plosion, which last year killed 3e
 peYsons. injured 200 and caused nearly $4.000.000 property damage, the New York police and detectives of the United States Department Of Justice have never for q moment abandoned it. investigation of this so-caIled master crime is still pro-
 ceeding quietly but determinedly
 every detective cherishing the dream Ithat some day he will triumphantly llnarch the guilty criminal into an amazed and envions headquarters. Upon the anniversary of the dis aster, q few weeks ago, the financial district of the city was placed under heavy guard. Upper Fifth avenue shone brilliantly with brass but tons, while downtown, detectives from the bomb and homicide squads ,of the Police Department covered lthe Subtreasury and the large bank ing houses of the neighborhood, eagerly waiting for some indications of proposed violence
 In these propitious circumstances, of course, nothing happened. After | Q long day of hopeful suspense, the guards went safely home to bed, and lthe mystery of the bomb outrage, certainly one of the most curious tpat has ever puzzled the police, was admitted to be no nearer a aoln~ ltion. A few officials went even further and admitted that il had l been impossible even to establish
 the fact that bomb was planted by any one.
 1 That the crime was planned and lperpetrated by an anarchist or q lgroup of anarchists is the theory which the police have been working lon all along--a theory presumably
 well founded upon clues discovered 1 on the scene Of the crime. Accord lingly. the search for criminals has ibeen confined chiefly to radical igroup4 throughout the country. In Ithe past year several suspects were Iarrested by the agents oi the Iss-
 partmont of Juatice but all were llater released for lack oi sufficient .evidence. Occasionally. one hears lthe theory advanced that the whole Icutastrophe was an accident, bat you cannot make the police believe Ithat. Where" they ask you quick .llv, ''do the sash weights fit into
 tine accident theory? Why would an innocent wagon Of T N. T. bt laden with sash weights, which, 1T the explosion, scattered like pieces
 of shrapnel among the crowd, caus ling much injury?"
 And the terrible sash weights ar' ionly one item in the list of strange
 lcvidence which seems to sustain th' itheory that the explosion was plan
 ned.
 The police know that on the morn
 ling Of September i6, 1920, a wagon filled with high explosives anC drawn by an underfed horse, wa driven to Wall and Broad streets the heart of New Y0rka great fl nancial district-and parked in iron of the United States assay office di rectly across the street from the J P.

Ripenina Fruit.

High temperatures seem, very curl
ously, to retard the ripening of pears,
while Fastening that of apples. In ex-
periments described by Overholser
and Taylor in the Botanical Gazette,
the ripening of green first-crop Bart
lett pears raised from 20 degrees f.
or room temperature, to So degrees
was not affected, but at ST. degrees
it was delayed five days, and at "a de-
grees and 104 degrees the delay was
13 days. Second-crop Bartlett pears,
in a temperature of 101 degrees, and
surrounded by relative humidity Of
below 90 per cent, remained unripe
four weeks after similar pears at
room temperature and humidity had
become fully ripened. The flavor Of
pears kept above IS degrees was af-
fected, sweetness and juiciness being
diminished. The ripening Of Yellow
Newton apples on the other hand, was
FASTENED at every appreciable rise In
temperature from so degrees up to
the point of destruction by burning.
It is concluded that the picking Of
pears may be. delayed in very hot
weather, but that the picking of ap-
pies and storage in cool place must
be fastened.

CHAPTER XII.
Chained in Warhoon.


1t must have been several hours be-
fore regained consciousness. l was
lying among pile Of sleeping silks
and furs in the corner Of small room
in which were several green warriors,
and bending over me was an ancient
and ugly female.
AS 1 opened my eyes she turned to
one of the warriors. saying:
HE will live, o Jed"
"'Tis WELL" replied the one so adj
dressed, rising and approaching my
couch, ''he should render rare sport
for the great games"
And now as my eyes fell upon him,
! saw that he was no Thark, for his
ornaments and metal were not of that
horde. He was huge fellow, terribly
SCARED about the face and chest, and
with one broken tusk and a missing
ear. Strapped on either breast were
human skulls and depending from
these number of dried human hands.
His reference to the great games of
which I had heard so much while
among the Thanks convinced me that
/ had but jumped from purgatory into
gchenna.
l was strapped securely to as wild
and unmanageable a thoat as I had
ever seen, and, with mounted war
rior on either side TO prevent the beast
from boiling, we rode forth at furi-
Gus pace in pursuit of the column.
Just before dark we reached the main
body of troops shortly after they had
made camp for the night. I was Inn
mediately taken before the leader, who
proved to be the jeddak of the hordes
Of Warhoon.
Like the jed who had brought me,
he was frightfully SCARED, and also
decorated with the breastplate Of hui
man skulls and dried dead hands
which seemed to mark all the greater
warriors among the Warhoons, as well
as to indicate their awful ferocity
which greatly transcends even that of
the Thanks.
The jeddak, Bar Comas, who was
comparatively young, was the object
of the fierce and jealous hatred of his
lieutenant, Oak Kova, the jed who had
captured me, and I could not but note
the almost studied efforts which the
latter made to affront his superior.
He entirely omitted the usual for.
NAL salutation as we entered the pres
ence of the jeddak, and as he pushed
me roughly before the ruler he ex.
claimed In loud and menacing voice
Il have brought a strange creature
wearing the metal of Thark whom II

.Princess of Helium, might wiring
a mighty ransom from your people
would but return you to them I'M
harmed, but a thousand times rather
would / watch that beautiful face
writhe in the agony of torture; 1t shall
be long drawn out, that I promise you;
ten days of pleasure were all too short
to show the love / harbor for your
race. The terrors of your death shall
haunt the slumbers Of the red men
through oil the ages to come; they will
shudder in the shadows of the night
as their fathers tell them of the awful
vengeance of the green men; of the
power and might and hate and cruelty
of Tai Hajas. But before that torture
you shall be mine for one short hour,
and word of that too shall go forth to
Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium, your
grandfather, that he may grovel upon
the ground in the agony Of his sorrow.
Tomorrow the torture will commence;
tonight thou art Tai Hajus'; Gomez
He sprang down from the platform
and grasped her roughly by the arm,
but scarcely had he touched her than
leaped between them. Ny short
sword. sharp and cleaning, was in my
right hand; could have plunged it
into his putrid heart before he realized
that I was upon him; but as raised
my arm to strike I thought Of Tars
Tarkas, and, with all my rage, with all
my hatred, could not rob him of that
sweet moment for which he had lived
and hoped all these long, weary years,
and so, instead, swung my good right
fist full upon the point of his jaw.
Without sound he slipped to the floor
as one dead.
In the same deathly silence grasp
ed Dejah Thoris by the hand and, me-
tioning to Sofa to follow, we sped
noiselessly from the chamber and to
the floor above. Unseen we reached a
rear window and with the straps and
leather Of my trappings lowered first
sofia and then Dejah Thoris to the
ground below. Dropping lightly after
them I drew them rapidly around the
COuIl III Tue SllduOWS VI Tie DulluluSS,
and thus we returned over the same
course had so recently followed from
the distant boundary of the city.
We finally came upon my thoats in
the courtyard where had left them,
and placing the trappings upon them
we FASTENED through the building to
the avenue beyond. Mounting. Sofa
upon one beast, and Dejah Thoris be-
hind me upon the other, we rode from
the city of Thank through the hills to
the south.
No word was spoken until we had
left the city far behind, but I could
hear the quiet sobbing of Dejah Thoris
as she chung to me with her dear head
resting against my shoulder.
IF we make it, my chieftain, the
debt of Helium will be mighty one !;
greater than she can ever pay you !;
and should we not make it, she con-
tinued. "the debt is no less, though
