TALLEsT MANNEQUIN A HIT

Miss Joan 5Sasselle, the worlds tallest mannequin, recently appeared in London style parade, and cre- ated a sensation. She is six feet, one inch tall and weighs only 122 pounds, so that her demonstration of the slim, willowy figure was the envy of the short and the stout. She buys abnormally long coats and wears them as three-quarter length garments. All other clothes must be made to order. Miss Sasselle is 20, and does not enjoy being so tall. especially when boys on the street call her "Carnera," she says.

harshly.
He stood grimly by as they searched the
cabin, insisting on the meticulouS inspection Of

his person. They found nothing of course. In
the mates cabin the result was precisely the
same.
McVee turned to Dillon, the first mate, an
alert, brown-faced young man of ATHLETIC build
who had watched this dissertation Of his per-
Sonal belongings with relentless countenance.

my instructions to the letter! Ill attend to the

The mate nodded and went on deck.
McVee stopped the Mexican with a gesture.

out.
The Mexican eyed him coolly. Eyes, Senior
Captain?"
How did ye come by the information that

Morales shrugged his shoulders. 1T was
rumored in La Paz," he returned lightly.
Who ye, Mister Morales?" McVee went
on in a menacing tone. "Ane where ye
going?"
The Mexican laughed dryly. "A person Of
no Importance. Captain, route to Senior
Hatch's hospitable country"
That evening, in the thickening dusk Hatch

shocked him, accustomed as he was to the raw
ness of life. The adamantine surface OF the
man seered in some strange process of collapse
He appeared less flexible, less grim -souled. as
Dillon had put it. There was something potent
sinister in the transformation, too, that 1aScl-
mated the imaginative Hatch. 1t was much as
if he we're watching some repressed trait OF
character asserting itself and remolding the
mans personality.
Hatch recalled what Dillon had said concern

began to wonder if the theft Of the notorious
pearl had not q deeper significance than they
suspected. He frowned and shook his head
An atmosphere of disquietude lowered above
the tramp, gathered as the day advanced. as
clouds gather in a sultry sky. The happy

could not dispel.
