RELICS SWAMP BAZAARS
IN TURK MONEY CRISIS
Many of Best Families Forced to
Make Sacrifices, Adding Zest
to Tourist Trade.

ISTANBUL (Pl-The i'll wind of Tur-
keys economic crisis is blowing good to
tourists and bazaar merchants.
The famous covered bazaar, with its
5000 little shops, was practically de-
pleted of the finds" dear to tourists,
IT, this years crisis forced many of the
best families to sell their treasures.
With the recent influx of old copper,
silver, embroideries and jewels, trade Is
quickening in the booths of the laby-
rtnth. So keen and even sanguinary is
competition that one Jewish rug mer-
chant pays three husky Kurds to guard
person from jealous competitors.
The romance that always turks in the
Istanbull bazaars recently made dra-
matte appearance in two Russian ward
robes. They were sold for $40 apiece
in the Flea Bazaar, the section devoted
to secondhand furniture. Unable to
resell them, the merchant decided to
make the metal bars within the ward
robes into hatracks. While attempting
to work the metal he discovered that
the bars were Of platinum, and made

"Ah, that rosel we shall speak of
that again." Flique chuckled. Let us
consider the clues. That petal, now"
you shot holes in that"
"The rose I found in the basket,

"Who put it there?" Samuels NUT
tered.
Flique twirled his mustache. What
would you say if / informed you that
my rose was not in that basket 10
minutes before found it there?"
We looked at him in establishment.
Who put it there?"
Look upon the rose" Flique picked
up the second rose. 1T has two thorns
on its stem. Upon one of the thorns
is a small MOISTURE redness." He
held the lens over the stem of the rose
and Samuels, Kirk and I glanced
through it in turn.
Blood" the deputy exclaimed.
IT don't know how I missed that"
ALSO this" Flique beamed tri-
umphantly, and he waved his enormous
handkerchief in our faces.
Four small red stains spoiled the
whiteness of the handkerchief.
Whose blood is this?" Samuels de-
manded CURLY.
Flique laid the handkerchief and
rose on the table.
This is what I know. When
madame opened the safe and the petal
was revealed, the rose was not in the
basket. 1t was then that Granger left
the room. A moment and he had re-
turned. 7 did not see him come in,
when on his hands I saw-blood.

picked it up. You see? Then I saw
the rose in the basket and blood was on
its thorn. I was astonished!"
This information staggered us. Grain
gers hatred of Parados had been stress

Let me get this straight" Samuels
muttered. I'VE find the petal. 1t in
wolves Annersley. Then you find the
second rose-that let's him out Now
you tell me that Granger dropped the
rose into the basket just'hfter we found
the petal.
THAT makes it look as if Granger
knew Annersley did MT kill Parados,
and wanted to do him a good turn, or
he knew Annersley did kill Parados and
was trying to switch us off his trail.
And that leaves Annersley about where
he was!"

There was also the possibility that

his motive was powerful and Miss
