For the minute that I had dis
covered the whereabouts Of the Ra
nee's Pearl. I understood why Hig
gins had discussed business with the
White Eagle. The millionaire's no
torioius parsimony had caused hin
to invoke the s~upercrook's aid al
d|efrauding the customs. That was
the only possible explanation Of all
that had bewildered me.
How had 1 discovered the where,
abouts of the pearl? Simply enough:
the one-eyed mans glass eye had
been gray in the smOkeroom; it was
green when the electric light flashed
upon it in the lounge. Instantly I
understood why the White Eagle
had printed his bizarre advertise
ment. Among the applicants for
membership in his club, he had
found the criminal willing to aid
him, in his ~furtherance of the de
sire of Josiah Higgins to defraud
MS government.
Would the ~one-eyed man have re-
turned the pearl to Higgins later on,
n would he have delivered it to the
White Eagle? Would there have
been honor among these thieves?
Ask me some easier question. Ask
me, for instance, what I did when I
arrived at my room in the Regina.
I will tell you: I deftly took apart
the two halves of the green glass
eye which had been surrendered to
me. and I kissed the RANGES pearl.
I had been right in my theory.
Where the carrion lies, the vulture
flies.

MOSQUITO ROUTED

Officials of Chevy Chase, Md. who
have been conducting an anti-mos-
quito compaign for two seasons, as
sert that their 1abors have been sue
ressful and the suburb, once an OBJ
jective for bands of mosquitoes, has
banished all but a very small num-
ber of the pests. 1t is expected that
the results will come up for discus
sion at a meeting of the citizens
committee in the near future.
The accomplishment is only one
phase of the sanitation projects that
have been carried out under provi-
sions of the law which established
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, which not only serves
Chevy Chase. but also meets the re-
quirements of other areas along the
northern border of the District.
Important sewerage work has been
completed in Chevy Chase. and that
section is now waiting on the District
to build a trunk sewer to the District
line.
Relief from mosquitoes came
through the removal of two breeding
places, the open sewerage field at the
foot Of HeSketh street, lying below
Cedar parkway. and the ditchine out
of the lily pond south of the Chevy
Chase Club, which had existed for

Removal of the open sewage field
was accomplished by carrying trunk
sewer down through Friendship and

Greedy was able to take his men
when they retreated southwark after
two promised annual relief expedl-
tlons failed to reach them.
There in a temperature far below
zero with practically no fuel and
with provisions sufficient for only a
few weeks, the party fought for life
through the winter and spring OF
1SS3-1S84. Their sufferings, both physi-
cal and mental. were acute.
They grew too weak to hunt sue
cessfully, and attempted to keep
themselves alive on scraps of old
sealskin and rock Iichens. One after
another sickened and died. but still
the survivors kept up faithfully the
scientific observations for which they
had been sent TO the Arctic. The
original party of 23 men was reduced
to seven when on June %. 1884, they
were rescued. OF the seven only two
or three were strong enough to move
from their sleeping bags, and even
the strongest could hardly walk in
stumbling fashion. But the scientific
records, which added greatly to the
worlds geographic. meteorologic and
magnetic knowledge. had been care
fully kept until 40 hours before the
rescue.
