He called upon Connor but was told
vaguely that the man had gone into

seek an interview with Dainty Morell,
but after a day spent in a vain search
of Connor's wharf, made his way to
Half Moon Street, watched the house
until he saw first Dainty and then Fl
Coles leave. To get into Danty's fiat
was a very simple matter-a key
blank, a piece of 1ampblack, a quarter
of an hour spent in Green Park filing
the soft metal, procured him an en-

Once inside the fiat he proceeded at
his leisure. He was not at all anxious

an understanding of her obligations.
She could not afford to waste time in
regrets at the amazing follies and
wicked errors of the past: in the days
that followed her mind was occupied
with schemes for helping him out OF
the morass in which he struggled.
She did not hear from Gunner
Haynes, although she stayed up until
nearly two o'clock the next morning,
having the telephone switched through
to her bedside. Nor did the next day
bring news. She was out when Dainty
called, and having no occasion to go
to her check book, she did not dis
cover his theft.
After she discovered it, she called
on him.
Danton heard her voice and was
coming across the hall to meet her
before the door was closed.
"This is an unexpected pleasure,
Margaret he said. SIS anything
wrong?"
She did not answer until she was
al lllo 1OOlll.
Before I tell you why I've come" "
she said, Il think it is only fair that
you should know I have lett instruc-
tions that unless I am back in my
house in three-quarters of an hour
my butler will ring up Mr.. Bird and
tell him where I have gone"
He frowned at this.
whats the idea ?" he asked harsh1y.
That's an extraordinary way to be-
have-why the dickens shouldn't you
be back in three-quarters OF an hour ?"
Where are the remainder of those
checks that you stole from my check
book when you called the other day?"
she asked.
She saw his face go red.
L don't know what you rnean," he
said loudly. Il steal checks? What
nonsense you're talking"
"You came into my house and you
were in my sitting room long enough
to extract ten checks. One of them
was brought to the bank to-day, made
out in Luke's name and signed by
him. On my instructions the check
was not honored."
The color left his face.
"Not honored?" he stamrnered, and
in his embarrassment he betrayed his
share of the guilt"
I'm less interested in the check
than in my husband" she said quietly.
"Where is he?"
He strove vain1y to recover his self
possession and forced smile.
Really, my dear girl" he began.
you'll address me as Mrs. Mad
olson, if you have to address me as
anything" she said. 81 want you to
return those checks; I want you also
to tell me exactly where Luke is"
"As far as | know, he's staying with
a convicted thief named Haynes" the
man answered roughly, and to his sur
prise she nodded.
II thought so, too. went down to
see him-but he had gone. | think
Mr.. Haynes was surprised to find that
he had gone, and I'm only now under
standing that Luke did not go of his
own free will. Then I thought he
may have wandered out by himself in
order to escape association with Mr..
Haynes. But the check explains a
great deal. Where is Luke?"
He shook his head
II don't know"
"In that case am going to do what
was trying to avoid" she said. II
am going to the police, and I shall
charge you with stealing the blank
checks, and leave it to Mr.. Bird to
connect you with Luke's disappear
ance."
She half turned to the door, but he
caught her by the arm.

1t came as something in the nature
of shock to Margaret Madison to
discover how completely changed were
her feelings toward the man with
whom she had passed through stages
of federation to liking, and from liking
to sort of passive affection, and from
that again, in the cataclysmic revolu-
ton of feeling that her brothers death
had brought about, to the bitterest
loathing.
For the first time in her life Mar
garet was in love, and in love with
something which was neither a mem-
ory nor an idea, but something which
was to her as real as her cwn hand.
She had gained that seliSc of posses
sion which is the wife's own sense
Nogales international., 1930-07-18

illogical. They had been friends and
partners, though he had lost sight Of
the man and the partnership had
broken off. He had no direct proof
of the duplicity he suspected. Gunner
Haynes had loved that feather-headed
little wife of his, and when she had
disappeared, never to become more to
him than a record in workhouse
register, a tremendous part of his life
had been ~cut away from him. He
might suspect Dainty as the cause of
his agony: he had no clear evidence
that the story the man had told was
untrue.
Dainty had said the girl had disap-
peared, and that he was as ignorant of
her whereabouts as her husband. Yet,
for ali this, the suspicion in Gunner
Haynes's mind amounted to a GER
tainty. He was a just man, and so
long as that proof was missing, Dainty
Morell would come to no harm.
He made a quick but thorough ex-
animation of the two rooms. There
were letters which had to be scanned,
pocketbooks to investigate, drawers to
be opened and searched, but in none of
these did Haynes find the slightest
clue to Luke Maddison's present place
of Imprisonment. He did find the note
which Connor had scribbled, giving
the address where Luke was staying,
but no more. There remained only the
safe, which was not SO much a safe
as a steel cupboard fastened with a
spring lock-the type that is found in
most business offices. To open this
was matter of five minutes patient
work.
There were four shelves and each
was crowded with letters, bills, and
curious souvenirs which Dainty had
collected-the cupboard was in such
disorder as only man without method
could create. On the third shelf he
found a wooden box, the lock of which
he forced. There were papers here
bundles of letters tied up with shoe
laces, bits of old string-there was
nothing romantic in Danty's DISPOSE
ton.
The first bundle did not interest
him. At the sight of the writing on
the second his face went gray. He
brought the box into the dining-room
and sat down, read three of the letters,
glanced at the others, and very slowly
and deliberately tied them up again
and put them back in the box. AS he
did so he caught sight of a scrap of
paper exactly the size of that on which
Rex had written his last message. He
took it out-yes, it was scrawled in
the same handwriting. Bit the mes
sage was unintelligib1e. 1t ran:

common swindler. | was warned
against him by
And then in flash he realized. He
had an extraordinary memory, and
could repeat almost word for word
the supposedly complete message Rex
had left. With these words added it
would have read:
Margaret darling, have lost.
For months have been gambling.
To-day l took a desperate step on

was warned against him by Luke
Madison. He has led me to ruin
money is his god beg of you
not to trust him. He has led me
from one act of folly to an
other. -.
That was it! Dainty had found that
the first and last of those scraps made
a complete message; he had put the
second in his pocket Git still bore
marks of being screwed up).

Constantly on the alert day and
night, Inspector Bells and his
eight assistante, are diligently
watching for all contraband ship
ments, searching every car that
comes across the border and even
Nogales international., 1930-07-18

searching the personal baggage OF
passengers on all trains and ques-
tioning and searching the bundles
carried by all persons passing
through the international gate on
foot or by automobile.
Duties Are Tremendous
The magnitude of their duties IS
more clearly shown by the figures
contained in the annual report. It
shows that 1898 freight cars, load
ed and empty, we're inspected and
1882 were entered and Of this
number Sab we're fumigated at the
U. S. fumigation plant on Grand
avenue. incidentally, the plant has
a capacity of Il freight cars at one
time. A fee of $4.00 a car is charged
for fulnigation All inspection service
is rendered by Uncle Sam without
charge.
In addition to the freight cars in
spected last year, Mr.. Bells and his
men examined 6O8 Pullman coaches
and the baggage of every passenger
on them. They also inspected 1885,
813 automobiles and other vehicles
coming through the international

Fruit FLY Found Twice

What is regarded as remarkable
is the fact that with all Of this in
spection during the entire twelve
months only two cases developed in
which the Mexican fruit fly was
found. These two cases were re-
ported exclusively in the Nogales
International Tuesday. The insects
were found in two packages of
plums. The pluns were confiscated
and burned.
Another interesting feature Of the
report was the tabulation showing
the kind of shipments brought in
to this country through the Nogales
gateway and inspected by Mr.. Bel
lis and his men. In all, 10,591 load
ed cars were allowed entrance and
these were mostly shipments of veg
etables and cattle. Of the total,
there were 5,526 cars of tomatoes
and reduced to pounds amounted to
121, 1,413,381 pounds. This is more to-
matoes than were brought into the
United States last year through all
other ports of entry combined. In
fact is was close to three-fourths
of the total tomato imports into
this country last year.
Many Other Shipments
Included IN the shipments coming
through Nogales from Mexico were
also 210e carloads of peas, 593 cars
of garbanzos, 720 cars of cattle, 80
cars of cantaloupes, 81 cars OF

increase in power consumption and tele-
PHONES in use characterized the month
of July in the National Capital
These conclusions, drawn from sta
tistics gathered by The Star from au-
thentic sources. show that washington
while suffering generally along with the
country from the current depression, is
in somewhat better condition than
many cities of this area.
For instance, the retail trade statistics
of the Fedeyal Reserve Board show
that seven department stores in this
city showed the least decline of any
city reporting in the fifth Federal Re-
serve district. Figures gathered from
III stores throughout this district show
generally a decline in July, 1880, as
compared with July, 1929, of per
cent. But the seven stores in the Dis
trict of Columbia during the same
period suffered a decline of only %
per cent. The general average of de-
cline in retail trade for the country at
large for July stood at per cent.
