Great English Traveller

Sir Richard Burton was the first
Englishman to enter Mecca, the first to
explore Somaliland, and the first to
find the Great Lakes of Central Africa.
He was so skilled in the lore of the
desert that he could travel almost any
where among the natives without de-
lection. OF the many books written by
this famous traveller, the most cele-
brated is his translation OF the Ara.
bian Nights" After his death an un-
published manuscript translation Of
the Scented Garden" from the Arabic,
was burned BY his widow on account
of it's pornographic content. The de-
struction of this paper has been count.
ed great loss to literature. The de-
voted wife Of Burton arranged a
unique tomb for him in the form Of an
Arab tent Of stone and marble.

the bank vault, to make junk of the
fittings and furnishings and to shatter
every window in the building had been
fired some time during the night. the
perpetrators of the robbery getting
away with cash and negotiable securi-
ties amounting to over $4,000.
1.-THE singular thing about the bold
robbery is the fact that the crash Of
the terrific explosion was not heard,
even by persons sleeping directly
across the street from the bank, nor
by either of the towns two night

every effort is being made to ascer-
tain if such an explosive is known
to science"

CHAPTER v
An Obstacle Race

Markham spun the wheels on the
run to Perthdale to such good purpose
that 1t was only little after dark
when the blue roadster turned In at
the yard Of the country-town tavern.
Delaying only long enough to wash
off the dust Of the long drive, Mark
ham and Landis went to the dining
room. There was little to be gathered
from the excited discussion of the
mysterious bank robbery. The ma
jority opinion gravitated toward the
belief that some new and noiseless
explosive must have been used.
"Everybody's up in the air, natural
ly," Markham commented as they
were leaving the dining room. We'll
find somebody who isn't too excited
to talk sensibly; somebody who can
give us a little real information. I'll
ask in the Office" And when he came
out, "Stockwell. president Of the
bank, is our man; lives just around
the corner. Well go and hear what
he has to say"
They found the banker easily ap-
proachable-the more easily after
Markham had introduced himself as
the son of banker.

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold &C.
ton; it soothes and heals the inaamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per.
s;stent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in.
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms Of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any

driving home before he recalled an
incident, the significance of which he
had entirely missed at the moment,
namely Canby's mention of the fact
that trousers leg of the fallen suit
of clothes had been caught under the
loose board, and had so been the
means of disclosing the hiding place

But the wonder became unimpor-

dis house he saw Owen waving a
newspaper as a signal for him to stop.
"It's come at last, just as said It
would" Owen said, passing the news
paper to Markham. "Read that"
Markham read the news item to
which Landis was pointing.

SYNOPSIS

owen Lands, young inventor, in
the little town of Carthage, has de.
veloped an extraordinary "silencer,"
which is stolen from a safe in his
laboratory. Lands tells Wally
Markham, his chum, the only per
son, beside himself, knowing the
combination of the safe, Is Betty
dawson, daughter Of a college pro
lessor, with whom the inventor is In
love. Markham takes a plaster. cast
of woman's footprint found be-
meath the window of the labora-
tory, and takes an opportunity to
fit 1t to one of Bettys shoes. They
are Identical. Betty tells Markham
Herbert Candy, q stranger, posing
as promoter" had driven her
home the previous night, and that
she had dozed in the car. Mark
ham does not tell Lands Of his dis
covery. Vaguely suspicious OF Can
bys honesty. he searches his hotel
room. in his absence, finding two
loaded automatic revolvers and
complete set Of burglars tools.

Taking Out When You Hold
Trump Support

Whenever your partner opens with
minor suit bid of one, even though you
hold strength or length in the suit do
not consider assisting his bid until you
are sure you would not be better justi-
fed in taking it out with major suit
or no trump. Even an overcall in
a second minor is better than an assist
because, while not Immediately i'm
proving the situation, such take-out
may eventually lead to more favor
able bid. The difficulty of stretching
hand to the five-odd tricks necessary
for game in a minor must always be
kept in mind. Even when holding am
pie trump support for your partners
minor suit, raise should be the last,
not the first thing to consider.
With four, three, three, three di-
vision, which promises no distribu-
tional or ruffing tricks, it is usually
advisable to take your partner out Of
a major suit even when you hold ade-
quate trump support. To illustrate,
suppose your partner opened with one
spade, and this was your hand:
SO 864 H-AJ DIX 1917 OK 8 8
Even with your 212 honor-tricks you
could barely count sufficient playing
tricks for a single raise. To show the
full strength Of your hand your only
logical response would be two no
trumps.
Such take-outs are not unusual. 1t
often happens that the responding part
ner, while having more than sufficient
honor strength to keep the bidding
open, is lacking in sufficient playing
tricks to support his partners bid In
such case the only recourse is a no
trump take-out, either negative re-
Spouse or higher bid according to the
count of honor-tricks in your hand.
