BY the time Bob Hathaway had
reached his home, after Cherry'S
frantic summons, the cold paralysis
of horror, in which Faith and Tony
had been gripped had partially
passed away, and all those who had
gathered in Faiths living room to
try to solve the mystery of Crystals
disappearance were making great
efforts to reaSsure each other-eX-
cept Sandy, who sat silent and
scowling.

Bob had been determined to
laugh it off, but as he listened and

young face became putty colored.

and glanced from one frightened

I've got it; take your note, -

Cherry laughed again, still with

Bob ignored her, except for a
scowl in her direction. Thanks for

CHAPTER XIII

4 SHTORETH shared her state
IN room with an incredible wom-
an of doubtful antecedentS. Her
name was Mona de Musset, and she
was returning to her home in Qua
deloupe.
She was tall, dusky creature,
with red lips and a luminous smile.
Her hair was long and very black,
and she knotted it with beautiful
simplicity at the back of her neck.
When the printed passenger lists
appeared, everybody began to con-
lecture about Mademoiselle de
MuSSet.
It was a coincidence that her first
name was Mona, because people
thought Immediately of Mona Lisa,
and declared that the two looked
alike.
1.-THE same mysterious smile"
they said.
Ashtoreth, who considered the
original Mona abSurdly overrated,
thought her roommate exceeding
ly more beautiful.
She wore long earrings. And her
dinner gowns were the most dar-
ing ever seen. They were slashed
in a narrow v to her waist in back.
And the undulating bodice eX-
tended, surprisingly, to a high neck,
that Swathed her slim throat like
a bandage.
1t was not until Mademoiselle
raised her arms that one beheld
the triumph of those gowns.
For suddenly she looked bare to
her slim waist! 1t was as if Vensus,
pretending modesty, had tucked a
napkin under her chin.
Her dress that first evening was
cloth of gold. On her bare feet she
wore green pumps. And in her
ears, barbaric jade that kissed her
sleek brown shoulders.
A SHTORETH, who had been
"A reading on the boat deck, pow
dered her nose when the dinner
bugle blew, and hurried to the din
ing saloon. She was wearing the
crepe de chine that had taken such
a beautiful shade of brown. And,
with it, Sadie'S camelS hair coat
and the little suede hat that Rugged
her ears.
She found her place at the first
officers table. And beside her sat
MademoiSelle de MuSSet.
The very air was charged with eX-
element. Married women glared at
their husbands.
SpinSterS averted their pious gaze.
And the room buzzed with the acrid
comments and observations Of the
pure.
Mademoiselle de Musset spoke
cordially to Ashtoreth, and then de-
voted herself to the first officer.
When they left the dining room she
slipped her arm through Ashto-
reth's
AS they assembled the stairs she re-
marked quite audibly, "You and I,
Mademoiselle, are the only wom-
ems in the room with beautiful
bodies, Ell? The rest-if they should

Yer boat sailed next morning,
II and Monty took her in a taxi
to the pier. After he had left her,
she found in her Stateroom great
basket OF fruit and three dozen
American beauties.
Tucked beneath their deep red
blossoms was a little note.
Dearest Ash:
at it's any news to you, Sweet
heart, love you more than ever.
Not that I expect you to get any
kick out of that. Maybe, though,

was unknown and it was regard ed as . necessary evil by men who were forced to live on menus restricted to dried foods, salt meat and hardtack. Later the disease was attributed to improper diet and more recent investigations have shown that the responsible factor is lack of vitamines, found in fresh meat and yege- tables but destroyed by unsuitable preservation.
 Scurvy is first manifested by slassitude and weakness. and is often accompanied by3pain in the limbs, hemorrhage under the skin, sores on the legs and swollen gums.
 Stefansson believes there are few foods that do not have pre- ventive or curative properties for scurvy when they are taken raw. He champions fresh meat for Arc tic expeditions because of it's availability.

 The trend of the business seems. to refute the theory that mope life insurance is written in cleo tion or presidential years than ip others. Instead, It appears to parallel that of general business. Indeed, the larger gains appear in prediction years, such as the 25 percent gain of 1899. the 62 per cent gain of 1919. and the 3s ppys cent gain of 1923 But even this theory is not always tenable, >fc( 1927 business represented as11ir of only one and one-half percent over 1896. in other election ye11ix gains have been small andzin ms and 1896 there were losses,
