Jail for you even if you i've" l
warned him.
There. in the center of crowded
West Street, he removed his glass
eye and handed it to me. At the
next corner knocked ON the win,
dow, and the chauffeur stopped. l
alighted, waved an airy adieu to my
one-eyed friend, and strolled blithely
across town, a little later to pick up
a taxi and drive to the Regina.
Afraid of pursuit? Had l not al
ready conquered the one-eyed man?
Afraid of the police? Would Hig-
gins, who had conspired at the sim
ulation of a robbery, in order to
avoid the payment of a tremendous
duty, confess his own attempt at
crime?
For The minute that I had dis
covered the whereabouts Of the RAJ
nee's Pearl l understood why Hig-
gins had discussed business with
the White Eagle. The millionaire )
notorious parsimony had caused
him to invoke the supercrook's aid
at defrauding 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 smoke
room; it was green when the cleo
trio light flashed upon it in the
lounge. Instantly l understood
why the White Eagle had printed
his bizarre advertisement Among
the applicants for membership ii
his club, he had found the criminal
willing to aid him, in his further
ance Of the desire of Josiah Hig-
gins to defraud his government.
Would the one-eyed man have re
turned the pearl to Higgins later
on, or 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 l did

not extremely large" I said.
It's as big as your eye" he de-
clared. "And It's the most perfect
pearl of its size in existence. I

Some Indian princess went bust
and sold it." He whistled "Ho'l

agreed with him, signing as I
did so, thinking how we'll | could
use the money represented by that
pearl. Indeed, the thought was so
agonizing that | left the lounge
long before the concert was over
seeking solace in the smoke room.
The room was deserted, save for
the one-eyed man. Unwilling to
arouse any latent suspicion in him,

I had hitherto refrained from ac-
costing him. But now I needed
pleasantly to him. It was my last
chance to make his acquaintance,
and had not yet given up tho IDEA
that here was opportunity.
But when I followed my nod with
an Invitation to join ne in q pint

fused His one good eye shot q
suspicious glance at me- l noted
shat that eye was gray, and that
his glass eye matched the other.
Rebuffed, I made no further ef-
fort. I drank my wine, rose, took
q turn around the deck, and went
to my stateroom. I Immediately
undressed and went to bad finally
convinced that whatever the nyst-
cry Of Higgins, the White Eagle and
the one-eyed man, Il was beyond ny
power to solve and profit by it.
Somewhere along toward dawr,
l was aroused by pounding at my
door. I climbed from my bed,
threw a drassing-gown over my
pajamas, and opened the door. A
ships officer stood there.

you mind coming to the lounge
What's the idea?" asked.

He smiled deprecatingIy. "Noth-
ing like that, sly, but one Of the
passengers has lost some jewelry.
Rather a valuable trinket."

Nothing, sir, l hope" he replied.
"But the gentleman insists that all

WILL SOUTH LEAD
IN PAPER MAKING?
Sources Of Supply for Pulp Be-
Iieved to Found in South
ern Pine

ATLANTA, July 11.-What po-
sition will the South occupy in the
future in the paper manufacturing
industry?
With the forests Of the North al
most depleted, it is becoming
necessary, it was pointed out here
today by Atlanta publishers, fer
paper companies to look to new
sources of supply for their wood
pulp. At present the tendency is
to import wood pulp from Canada,
but with Canada placing a protsc-
tive tariff on her pulp, and thc
rapid way in which theils forests ere
being cut, new sources of supply
must be found, it is claimed.
The South's bid for the paper
industry; it was asserted here, will
largely be based on the fact that,
first, it has enough second groWta
timber to last for several years, and
second, it can grow timber four
times as rapidly as the Northern
forests.
While Southern Pine will grew
to pulp wood size in 30 years, it's
asserted, it takes Northern spruce
80 years to attain the same size.
Under sustained-yield managemont
$4,000 acres of land would supply
enough timber for the perpetual
operation of a 50-ton mill, figuring
100 cords of wood pulp q day.
At present the high rosin yield
of pine prohibits the making Of
news print paper, but as pointed
out by publishers here, chemists
are working on this problem and it
is believed to be only a question Of
time before it will be possible rc
make any grade Of paper now mada
from spruce.

PROBATION PRISONERS
MUST HAVE INCOMES

LOS ANGELES, July 11.-Pov-
erty is no crime, but often it is mo-
tive for crime, says Judge Arthur
Kcetch, of the local superior court,
who has instituted probationary
system under which all prisoners he
releases on probation are required
to start bank account with a GER
tain per centage of their wages.
The first results Of the system
We're made known by Chief Proba-
ton Officer May, to whom the men
and women on probation are reqrir-
ed to submit their bank books once
month. The report indicated that
out of total of 20 of the wards
all but two had placed more than
500 each in saving accounts dur
ing the period of four months.

handed over the keys Of our bag
gage to an officer. Half an hour
later he returned with the state
ment that he had searched all our
effects and found no trace of the
missing pearl. Then one Of the
Englishmen did what l had been
wanting to do. He walked over to
Higgins.
We've heard your story" he
said. "You returned from the con
cert, you and your wife. She took
off her jewels and laid them on a
table in her cabin. She then went
into your cabin, to talk to you.

room, five minutes later, the

MINISTER GIVES
TANLAC FULL CREDIT

No greater praise can be accorded
d medicine than the voluntary testi-
mony of a minister of the gospel. The
preachers high calling puts a grave
responsibility on his every word, and
he will not jeopardize his reputation
by commencing a thing without first
assuring himself 1t is all right.
Tanlac has been endorsed by num-
bers of prominent ministers. They
have put Tanlac to the Test of per
sonal service and their words carry
conviction because they say what they
know to be the truth.
One of the latest to speak out in
behalf of Tanlac is Rev. B. E. Bell, a
retired Baptist minister, 207 Elm St.,
San Antonio. Texas, who says:
Before taking Tanlac / had suf-
fered from stomach and nerve trou-
bles for over 30 years n there were
