/HE outdoor gathering where every
body has a wonderful time.
Unfasten yourself from a de-
1irious idea, dear reader! Far be it from me
to act as wet blanket, but warn you that
the great outdoors is full of spiders, sunburn,
mosquitoes, sprained ankles, snakes. stomach
ache ants transforms, torrid arguments, etc.
However, if you still insist on going, don't
let me interfere. But I'm willing to bet you
a tor of angel food cake against dimes
worth of dog biscuits that this is what1l hap

To begin WITH let us assume that this is
Saturday night. Well also assume that your
snonicker is Adolph Schultz, an you are the
proud posssssor Of wife whose call number

Louie. an q four-cylinder touring car which
amt in the best Of health.
"Adolph," says Lena, SISTER Susie an her
husband are thinking of taking their lunch
an starting out early tomorrow morning for
Wildcat Woods. They want we should go
along"
Amt that thoughtful of them!" howls you.
sThey amt got q snort carriage OF their own,

Your sister Susie has got modesty just like
fish has got eyebrows. AS for what she mar

never offer to buy thimbeful OF gas"
Shame on you'll" says your sparring partner.
"You are speaking about your own brother-in-
law"
HE amt mine-hes yours" sneers you.
''Wsll, suppose We have to go. Did you say
Susie was bringing the lunch for us?"
"Oh, not for all of u.s." yeps Lena. me
an her will each bring some stuff an we'll
all share it. She suggested that I bring potato
salad, CAKE fried chicken, cheese, bananas
an Lemonade She'll bring some olives an the
paper plates an the knives an forks"
What cock-eyed merger!" squeaks you.
"Sha amt bringing much except her husband.
That pair has got more nerve than jumping

you, preparing to climb a tree. Papa don't
want it! Give it to mammal"
Self-preservation then demands that you hide
in a large cluster of shrubbery. While you're
lurking there the cute little mosquitoes find
you, an each of them does his best to swallow
you whole. Pretty soon strange bimbo wan

body gallops toward the groceries. Now.
Mr. Schultz. you've probably always been under
the impression that the principal ingredient
of a cheese sandwich Is cheese. Not at q
picnic! If your sandwich don't contain more
live stock than zoo, you're lucky-in fact, at
one of these grub carnivals any person who
can eat a caviar sandwich has got to BE- void
of Imagination.
There's only one safe rule to follow when
guzzling groceries at an outdoor gathering:
Hold small piece Of food between your thumb
and index finger for one minute. If by the
end of that time it hasn't bitten you or tried
to climb a tree. you can shove it past your
teeth with a reasonable amount of assurance
that it's what you thought it was
A few minutes after lunch is over, little Lud-

ty Of Mystery and Stolen Zt1asmv-BY H. c. BAILEY

THE telephone rang and Tomas announced
- that Exon had come.
Sir Henry was brought up. He futtered ex-
element.
well, we've caught Meyer" said Lomas
Sir Henry took breath. But that is wonder
full, my dear Lomas. hope the poor fellow
has been able to clear himself"
"See what you think" said Tomas, and again
Dubois told his tale.
Meyer said he had telephone message
from me?" Sir Henry cried. But it is incred-
ible. I sent no message. II ordered him
abroad-and to visit the dealers? ! never
thought Of such thing. The false fellow"
Dubois offered him the gold clasp. AT that
Sir Henry gave a little grooming cry. 1T is
then yours? You are fortunate" Dubois
shrugged.
But this is all he had?" Sir Henrys voice
rose.
1T is ALL" said Dubois. Except this, SIR"
and he produced the paper.
"Mignon," Sir Henry read. "What is Mig
non? And then figures A cipher! My dear
Lomas, can you make this out?"
I'm afraid that's going to be difacult," Lo-
mas shook his head You have no ideas
about it," a.r
II? Indeed. have no experience with such
things" Sir Henry puzzled over 1t.
II shall refer it to experts" said Tomas. "I
must tell you, I'm advised it's a difficult prob
lem"
"Really?" Sir Henry was distressed, THAT
suggests a terribly long delay. This uncertainty
is intolerable. wonder if could find any
suggestion among my friends. May have a
copy? Ah,. thank you so much I must rack
my brains" He fluttered out
And that Is that" Reggie murmured. well,
I'll have copy. too. Dubois, are you going
back 10 Paris tonight? No? But come and
dine with me then"
It was not of the cipher that they talked
over the Musigny, but of pictures and of mu-
sic, of poetry and sculpture "This is to me an
evening shall remember always" said Dubois
on Reggie's doorstep.
Reggie went back to his wife. Rather a
lamb" she smiled. But he did not answer.
He wandered to the piano and began to play
His wife rose slowly and came to him. mo-"
she said. with decision. mo, dear" She re-
moved his hands from the keys.
Perhaps you're right" Reggie leaned his
head back to look at her. Did you know
what it was Joan?"
I'm the struggle there were glimpses of the
victim" She sat down and herself began to
play.
YES Yes. It is Mignon's song, isn't it?"
said Reggie pathetically.
This is" said Mrs Fortune. She began to
sing:
"Kennst du das land wo die zitronen bluhn
I'm dunkeln Laub die Gold-O rangn
gluhn-"
Reggie wandered out to his consulting room.
He sank into the big chair by the fire with
pad on his knee.
In the middle of the next morning Tomas
and Bell. comforting together, were startled by
a joyless "Hullo!" Reggie drifted round their
table to the fire. Have you read the cipher?"
Good Cad, no. Col. Arnold says the chance

Eyes. One of the unknown factors moves
forward" Reggie murmwed
Bell looked at him curiously. Have you
thought of anything sr?"
There's the telephone, you know" Reggie
opened his eyes. Where did the call come
from that Meyer had and Sir Henry didn't
Send?"
i've got that sir watlings was rung. up
from a post Office box in Belhaven But no
body remembers the man. of course"
In Belhaven." Reggie looked at him.
"That's just beyond the downs
II know it is. dare say that's where the
car went. And Meyer could get boat for
France from there. But that's not much good
to US"
"Oh, wouldn't say that" Reggie murmured.
And he whistled.
What is that tune, sir?" Bell said sharply
Don't you know it? Quite an old thing"
He hummed-"Kennst du das .Land-re-
member Lomas?"
Sounds like the operas of my vanished
youth. What about it?"
Over Reggie's face came benign smile my
dear old thing! Think it over"
RUT Mr.. Hamilton Tromp interrupted He
was a large person Of stately aspect. They
would, no doubt, understand that he wished
for their advice in the matter Of Sir Henry
Exon's collection. What he came to ask was
whether they had reasonable hope of recov-
ering the things. If so, he would stay on in
England; If not, he was anxious to sail for
America.
. "Of course. Sir Henry knows you are con-
sulting us, Mr.. Tromp?" Lucas said. :.' -
II have his permission sir. In fact, he adj
vised me to call on you" c.@-~c
1T can only tell you that we have not been
able to translate the cipher" .<.E
But Sir Henry has no doubt you will" Mr..
Tromp insisted. II understand he considers
1t will yield to treatment"
quite quite Tomas agreed. II hope he'll
succeed. We can only advise you that it is
uncertain whether the cipher can be read and
whether it would prove useful If it WERE"
That's straight" said Mr.. Tromp, ruefully.
"Well, I'm going down to him at Watlings. I'll
have TO tell him it's up to him. III give him
three days and quit If you find you have
some good hopes won't know how to thank
you. I wanted those things" He departed
with punctiliouS Salutations.
THAT bein' thus" said Reggie, 'T think we
had better get On" He drew a chair to the
table, hummed the first line Of the German
song. Words by the late Goethe" He spread
out a sheet Of paper. while you were Tapped
in Sleep Tomas, I was workin': thus"
Good Cad! You don't say you've got it?"
Eyes, I think So" Reggie smiled ut came
to me while Dubois talked about sculpture
Genius, Tomas, just genius. Why begin the
cipher with 'Mignon'? Because Mignons song
is the key. Observe" He displayed his paper.
"Kennst du das land wo die zitronen bluhn
I'm dunkeln Laub die Gold-Oranger gluhn-"

One suit case, that is all. 1t Is quite correct:

in which lay, on cotton wool, plates Of dull

figures.
Reggie looked at them. Eyes. Several new

What would you?" Dubois smiled He de-

One must admit it lacks elegance, do not
understand the delight in what Is done with
out skill. But am old-fashioned. However,
Sir Exon will certainly know it If it is his"
We'll have him along soon," said Lomas.
"Mr. Fortune" M. Dubois remarked, II VEN
ture to ask your attention for the paper. It
has appeared to me very curious"
Eyes! 1 think So" Reggie smiled. I'm
rather afraid of that paper. 1t looks like lot
OF work" He spread it out on the table,
sheet torn from a writing pad On it was
written the one word "Mignon" and q number
Of figures with dots between.

Tomas looked it over Ordinary type of
cipher, what? Each number stands for word
or letter. Some of the fellows in secret
service will manage it for US"
Il congratulate you," Dubois shrugged. They
are then more clever than ours. ask one Of
ours to translate it. He will promise nothing"
But it must be about the stolen Jewels"
Tomas cried.
THAT is very probable, my friend. But is
it what one has to do or what has been done,
about persons, or places, or things? We do
not know what is the language. It is prob
ably cipher quite arbitrary. I tell you, the
possibilities are almost infinite. And while
work at the cipher, the jewels are gone'
Il WONDER" Reggie murmured.
"You see something, sir?" Quickly.

cipher in Meyers suitcase? Why was he
keepin' it?"
What do know" Dubois shrugged "It IL
instructions perhaps, or a message of a meet
ing place or it is a note what is done with
the jewels"
Yes, it could be-" Reggie murmured.
But we ought to be able to make something
Of the thing" said Tomas. Look here: the
number 8 occurs four times, the numbers 8,
a. 10 and three times, none of the others
so often. Assume they are the five common
est letters. That gives us start
