HERRICk PRAISES
 SPIRIT Of PEACE
Uf9s Closer Relations at Pln- American Washington Luncheon

Paris. Feb. 2: (uP)-High praise for the spirit of peace and interna- tional cooperation and a plea for closer relations between American nations were high points in Ambas- sador Myron Y. Herricks address today at the traditional Washington's s birthday luncheon to Pan-American diplomats at the United States em- bassy here.
 The Argentine and Brazilian am- bassadors, 13 ministers including the Canadian minister. and five charges d'affaires representing all countries in the western hemisphere were at the luncheon.
 'Tho spirit of peace is nowhere more evident than in our own hemi- sphere" Herrick said. During the past year, two striking, evidences were in the renewal of diplomatic relations between the two great Pacific nations, Peru and Chile. and the gratifying spectacle of two other states voluntarily submitting an un- toward incident to sister nations for adjudication.
 Indication of the future, seen in the even closer relationship between us. is bright indeed.
 Airplanc Aids Peace
 "Mr. Hoover's visit to Central and South America, like to believe. has done much to bring that about. but what perhaps Is destined to be the most striking factor in achieving this relationship is the airplane."
 Herrick lauded the work of the sixth Pan-American conference at Havana saying it was a distinct achievement and significant step forward i'll the relations of American republics.
 He said that everything indicated general recognition of the neccs- sity of constantly increasing the friendly contacts Of American na- tions and that already relations be- tween them were more satisfactory than ever before.
 Private enterprise. Herricl1 hoped. would supplement the international and intellectual cooperation between countries Of the new world in bring ing about the translations of works of authors thinkers, musicians, and students, to make them available mutually and widen the appreciation of culture in different countries.

The left front fender and tire and the front bumper on the truck at Co. No. 3 of the first department were damaged yesterday afternoon at the fire in the Schupack estate building on Main street, when a Connecticut Co. bus in charge of Patrick J. Smith of S5 Brown street, Hartford, skidded and struck it on Myrtle street.
 Officer w. s. Strolls reported that the fire truck was on the south side of Myrtle street. facing east and the bus, which was going west. had started after having discharged pas- sengers. There were no chains on the wheel of the bus and the rear part of the vehicle slowed against the fire truck. The rear left fend- CT of the bus was damaged and the rear part was stove in on the left side.
 Yesterdays fire broke out about two minutes after Chief w. J. Noble had driven past the building on his way home. An employe of Joseph Reney's shoe shining establishment detected the fire and shouted to Po- liccman William r. Hayes to turn in the alarm.

 We sat in tn" window of inc lt- tJ- room overlooking the square, spcculaUng on the possibility of brihine servants or cajoling the superior of the school Suddenly, SomerfclI graspcI by arm and pointed into the square.
 "Seo who that is?"
 A man and a woman were cross ing, arms linked. towards the Town Hall. and therefore walking away from Us But the woman was turning to look up into the mans face and talking earnestly. We recognized Miss NundoneSs"u.

DEATH TREASURE
 By R. A. J. MAILING

I hcsjtated to answer this. Som crheld broke in.
 "Ycs professor, it's still in Eng land"
 You might as well put mo out my suspense" said l. Are you go- ing 10 arrest me-"
 LaNon looked me up and down.
 "It would be a pity 10 arrest so
 fine a young man. But it all de- penda. Mr. GronCtcn--it all de- bends! Follow me, gentlemon."
 LaXton had taken up quarters in a big hotel near the railway station. He led us to his own room. and there he read HIS q long and severe lecture.
 We were, according 10 this ac- count, very decent but very foolish fellows. We had, probably without intending any harm, committed an cnormity. We had put d spoke in the wheel of Scotland Yard and brought the machine 10 a standsti'l. What could be more reprehensibr than ! that?
 Incidentally we had connivcd at the escape Of a convict and in the process had complicated the job of discovering the p"rpctrator Of d very wicked murder. How about it? ..
 We listening to this, admitting and denying nothing. He supposed We would not con- test the fact that the murder Of 1 PeII was q diabolical thing We might have diylikcd Pell. .
 l remarked that I did not dislike 1 Pcll: I rather liked him. In that case. he said, l ought to 1 have gwen all the aid l could in discovering and punishing the mur- der"r of Pell instead of trying to hoodWink the police. We had obstructcd the police at tim" when. for reasons we did not grasp, they could not very well prevent il. But We had got con- Nict away. And we had removed or 1 concealed vital evidence. Whereas if the police could have laid their hands on the convict and the evil dcncc the murder Of Pcll would . have been cleared mp hy now. And 1 that was where we were.
 He had in his pocket a warrant for my arrest which could be quite well eXccutcd-cven in Belgium. | And he would be quite justified in cIapping the bracelets on Somerfcld as well. So-how about il? Somerficld leaned over to where IaEton sat on a hard little armchair and held out his hands.
 Put 'cm on, professor" said he But you won't, You want to do q deal, I'll tell you. You want to 1 know"
 "Now, Mr. Somorfield," Laxton said. pushing his hands away. "I do want to do a deal. but on my own terms. You see, l have the trump l in my own hand.
 That's a blu1f." said Somomicld. We hold the straight flush. We know where the poodle is-and you don't"

If there was no danger to her pet refugee? sec Well now, Mr. Someriield, you shall have can dor for candor. l did not learn of the burglary from Mr. Fotherbury. worked out the burglary from data, and l had no idea of it's re- suits till you kindly obliged me with them just now"
 "Well-." Somerfield exploded.
 "I'll tell you how my attention was first drawn to Pell. Last May l had 10 arrest familiar friend of mine. We had q little amicable talk and he not only gave me rem iniaccnces, but told mo I'd kept him out of d good thing He had under taken 10 go to man named Pell at the Lord Nelson Inn, BlackWater, and give him q date, and the dat" was June 24th. There was 10 be big money in it. He was vague about the source of the big money; but he had the name the date pat enough.
 You can imagine my interest in the matter when l saw the names of Pell and BlackWat"r and the wealthy proprietor of N"Wplacc Abbey in the Times. And, )-lieyc me, we were in the middle of q most interesting affair when Pe}'s death dropped q wrench in the ma chinory."
 A date! And the 24th Of June, Ny mind flew back to that strang" ine:stcrcc of Pcll on the immediate l rnblicGtoN of the NeWplacn GiscOv- cries; that was just before the 24th of June.

 "I came 10 see . lady" said I.
 Miss Nandcnesson? Yes, l know -through Mrs. Fairfar."
 But how did you know anything about Mrs. Fairfax 2"
 As soon as it was evident that Miss Snabroke had been mixed up in your cscapadc in the boat We had to find out everything that could be known about Miss Saabrokc. Natur- ally"
 Then you didn't track somer- field and me-"
 "Only to the end of the wood. And. by the way, I've got some pro perty O. yours You are careIcis," And I.aXton pulled out my bundle of notes and handed if to me, Som crfitl1 burst into a laugh.
 Shall we tell him?" he said.
 We did. Laxton listened to the account of our temporary burial with mixed amusement and aston ishmrnt. Then he repeated his quos- ton.
 "Why have you come 10 Belgium? Not for the beautiful eyes of Miss Vaudrsomothire-don't tell me-" I wondered how far I might go without compromtsins Veronica.
 "Como-candor." said he. Tn "X- change for canGor I'll drop the lit tie business of tho motor-boat cs- capado, Mr. Crenofen That fellows got off into Europe and to search for him would be like looking for needle in d haystack. You have the proceeds Of the hurglary--" "What burglary, professor" Somorfiold put in.
 "Tha burglary at Mr. Fother- hury's. That's the ono I'm thinking of at the moment, If you know of anoth"r-'
 "Tn ask you another question. Has Fothorbury missed it?' LaNton kept silent for q moment Then he said;
 "Why do you ask that 2"
 "That's answer enough" said Somorfioid. "Fothcrbury hasn't miss cd if. Fothcrbury doesn't keep stuff like that at Newplace if he owns it. Museum stuff-old stuff. I'm no great judge, but I'll give a quarter of a million dollars for ii. You know something about it. professor Can dor for candor. you know"
 There was another pause, Lax ton looked at us in a medit&tivo way.
 "Wcll come back 10 it." he said At present I'm waiting 10 know why you're in Bolgium.'
 I had made up my mind by this time
 "All right" said I. i've take you at your word. There were two req sons for coming to Belgium, One was to get away from you The other 10 try to strike the track of the mystery of Pcll"
