CHAPTER X1
The Trail Of an Abb

The purser aboard the steamship
Florida ran his finger along the pas
senger list he had placed on his deck
before Rankin.
''There, you see, Mr. Rankin" he
said as his hand paused under a par
ticular entry, sis the name you are
looking for-Miss Laura Du Monte.
She occupied Cabin % on @ deck. I
don't recall her, but that seems to
settle that she made the voyage, as
she claims"
The detective verified his reading.
"Not necessarily, Mr. Hammond" he
returned. sit is possible, you know,
for someone else to register as her, in
her place. think ought to question
your ships doctor, the NURSE Miss
Sumner, and Mrs. Winters, just to
check up on it."
II saw Doctor Ireland go ashore
this morning." Mr.. Hammond nodded
affably. "But believe the stewardess
and Miss Sumner are still here; all
cabin employees were to stay aboard
till noon. I'll send for them, for you"
"Please do. And I'll appreciate any
other assistance you can give me-"
The detective first interviewed the
nurse. At his explanation of his mis-
sion and full description Of Mrs. Jor-

statuesque beauty, she promptly iden-
titled her patient Of the last voyage in

story that she was confined to her
cabin throughout the voyage. Even
when she felt better. she failed to go
on deck. In fact, on embarking, she
did not reserve either deck chair or
a table In the dining room.
''And that struck me as peculiar"
Miss Sumner asserted, because it's
practically the first thing every pas
senger. does. You would almost sup
pose she had decided to stick to her
stateroom and see no one"
How do you happen to know she
didn't arrange for a chair or table

II advised her several times to sit
on deck, when the cabin became
stuffy," the nurse replied. "The air

more plausible than that she also came
from the stage? If this idea were
correct, the actors organization should
have some record of her. Actually,
as Rankin knew, there were two such
institutions for actors: the Actors
Equity association for principals, and
the Chorus Equity association.
He finished questioning Mrs. Win
tiers, expressed his appreciation to Mr..
Hammond, the purser, and took his de-
parture. Visiting the Chorus Equity
association building first, he sought
Good fortune again rewarded the de-
tective. Myra Prentiss was listed, a
member of Equity, as chorus girl of
some experience.
From Myra Prentiss' association
card, Rankin CLEANED that she was
twenty-five and had been a show girl
for three years. The past fall and
winter she toured in travelling COM
pany of -Side-Down." That show,
an employee was able to inform Ran
kin, had visited important cities be-
tween Pittsburgh and Detroit and dis
banded in January, but two months
ago, in st. Louis. But just as Laura
Dumont had done year before, she,
too, for some reason, remained in st.
Louis instead of returning east with
the company. For the last entry about
her was a notice she sent Equity on
about January twentieth, of her new

Immense Cattle Herds

out of the water Genesis Az is IL
Illustrated before the eyes of travel
ers on the Nile at this very time. In
the land of Goshen and all along the
river where it has left its rocky
gorge in Upper Egypt and runs
through a pastoral country with low
banks, the cattle of the country wade
out into the sluggish stream to avoid
the fly pests and the excessive heat,

Joseph. and afterwards the other
children of Israel, when they came
down into Egypt, were well acquaint-
ed with cattle and the care of them.
Although not so commonly used at
that date in Canaan as in the land
of the Pharaohs, the Patriarchs all
had cattle, and we remember that
when Jacob sent present to pro-
pitiate his brother Esau, he included
in it forty kline and ten bulls, and
we were told previously to this that
the land could not contain and nour-
ish the cattle of both Lot and Abra-
ham. Job owned five hundred yoke
of oxen and must therefore have had
many hundreds of cows.
The blowing in those days was
done with oxen, and what a pair of
oxen could pillow in day was called
yoke, or in our language an acre.
Today, in the East, mich cattle are
as likely to be employed under the
yoke as bulls or oxen.

N The Student
I fraternity Murder:

ranged, the detective regarded it with
suspicion. But there was another In
depreciation for her appearance just
at this time, so startling that Rankin
wiped his brow excitedly as he con-
templated 1t. Could her five-day jour-
ney east by boat be purposely to es-
tablish an alibi for herself covering
the Tuesday night of the murder?
That she wanted to protect herself,
knowing in advance when the crime
would be committed? Such conduct
presupposed that she was aware Of
an elaborate plot involving others, to
remove Jordan; but the theory was
not beyond the bounds of probability.
The final deductions Rankin drew
from the last two letters. In these,
when Establishments failed, she had
changed her tone. If Stuart did not
come to terms, she promised to ap-
prize Mr. Merrick of his disastrous
nuptials before May sixth. It was
sheer bluff, of course, Rankin rea-
soned; such betrayal would give the
guardian power to strip the boy-and
herself, as well-of the Jordan estate.
Not even for revenge would she de-
liberately rob herself of the coveted
Inheritance.
At the same time, the situation fur
nished the actress an all-powerful mo-
tive for numbering Jordan before his
twenty-second birthday. On his death
before twenty-five, there was no dan
ger of her ever losing the property,
either through the boy himself, or
through Mr.. Merrick. In the absence
of will, she alone, as his lawful wife,
automatically fell heir to his immense
estate.
But beyond establishing this motive,
the letters did not involve Mrs. Jor-
dan; and Rankin refrained from
drawing far-fetched conclusions. New
ertheless, the situation was suspicious
enough to justify his swift resolve to
investigate the actress as his next
move.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Mer-
rick's alibi about his journey from
Vandalia would not be neglected. AS
suspect, his position was similar to
that of the actress.
Before Rankin could call it a day
and go home, he received from the
sergeant resume of his interview
with the nurse at the university hos
pital. 1t was short one, but verified
Ben Crawfords account of his move
ments on Tuesday night as far as
Florence Dalton could verify it. She
had apparently, however, been fore
warned by the student to expect some
sort of Interrogation by the police.
And when Gilmore treasured her that
her statement would not be made pub
lie, she spoke more freely. In accord
ance with Crawford's story, he had re-
manned with the girl until morning.
AS Rankin realized all too well, the
report settled nothing about Craw-
ford's whereabouts during the cere-
mony itself. 1t offered no support for
his tale of the blind date that was not
kept. The difficulty about suspecting
Crawford of the crime was that there
was no iota of evidence to connect
him with it. And no suggestion of
any motive he might have harbored
for wishing Stuart Jordan out Of the
way.

the hand was due to East's poor judg-
ment in his opening bid at my table
No one likes no trumps better than
I, and East has 3l2 tricks and trifle
over But why be SO anxious to be
declarer on this hand if no trumps is
to be the eventual declaration? Why
| not hope that West can bid major
suit and make it easy for him to do
so by opening the bidding with q club?
With that feeble diamond holding, how
| infinitely preferable to give him a
| chance to bid diamonds before no
trumps are mentioned. Be your own
| navigator-but make 1t easy for your
crew to take soundings when the waters
are not fully charted.
This hand of East's Is intrinsically
not of the no-trump type. in spite OF
| its distributed honors. The diamond
| holding is SO nearly a worthless dou-
bleton only If partner bids a diamond
or two no trumps,. over q club, could
the queen and ten play an effective
part in developing the hand. The
major suits are only singly stopped,
| there is not even finesse holding for
| the third round of the club suit. With
this hand I would wish to make, 1t easy
both for my partner to make a BID
in the "one" range for constructive
purposes, and also for the opponents
| to overcaI me- for reasons of safety in
case my partner were very weak. With
a queen. and one holding no trump
opening bid is admissible, but the hand
should have compensating reinforcing
strength elsewhere. The least changes
which would convert this hand into a
no trump opening bid in preference
| to a club would be to rearrange or
strengthen it as follows:

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 28,- In an effort to determine wheth- CT Federal pay cuts made under the economy act should be re- stored, thousands of Federal en- ployees have received official queStionaires asking them what it costs them to live.
 The questionable is a marked departure from previous methods for compiling data on which to base salaries
 This action was devised by Federal agencies to supply more accurate figures than have been used previously, the indices show ing price trends.
 Friends of President Roosevelt said the last figures were not sat- isfactory to him and that employ ees contended the old indices pre- Sented erroneous conceptions in regard to living costs.

NEW REGIME IS PRODUCT OF
 CUBAN PEOPLE

HAVANA, Sept. 28,- Although sporadic fighting and rioting con- tinued throughout Cuba, Presi- dent Ramon Grau San Martin is sued message saying that his government was a product of the will and power of the people of Cuba. He said "the government was brought about by revolutionary means which overthrow the. tyran. nical leadership of former Presi- dent Machado and rests upon truly democratic principles"
 San Martin stated that the lives and property of foreigners in Cuba as well as nationals of that coun- try, were being protected with all possible effort.
 The serious labor troubles in Cuba are blamed on the Machado regime. In elucidating this state ment it was pointed out that 20 cent wages for 12-hour day, paid in credit slips, was one of the evils that the new government is seek ing to eliminate. It is ultimately planned to give labor an 8-hour day.
 San Martin concluded the con- ference with leading political fig ures in Cuba but met with little success. The conference broke up with San Martin still lacking the solid support which he seeks. Mar tins position with the people is growing stronger daily, however, and he has announced a vigorous campaign against communist agi- tatorS which menace his admins tration.

VIVID PICTURES Y DESCRIBES RUINS
 TAMPICO CITY

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28, Vivid pictures of the hurricane-stricken and debris covered city, which is all that remains of Tampico, Mexi- co, are being brought out by per- sons who have flown over the area
 Tampico, once the. worlds lead Ting oil exporting port, is nothing but wreckage. Virtually every other house has been demolished and thousands of persons are trudging the streets. Many are hungry, and even thirsty, as the water supply is inadequate. The sanitation of the city is described as bad.
 ! To add to the trouble caused by the hurricane which swept in from the Gulf of Mexico Sunday night. there was the added misery caused >by the flooding over of three streams which placed portions of the city standing in from four to 14 feet of water.
 The oil fields nearby resisted the damage quite well but it is said that the damage in the oil fields will run into the millions of dollars before the pumps can be repaired
 The death toll was great but not IS large as first predicted. Over 100 bodies have been removed from the wreckage with more being found each hour. The wounded and sick are counted by the thous- ands.
 The city is without light facili- ties and communication is badly interrupted.
 Seventeen convicts in the Tam pico prison escaped from their confinement and so far only two have been caught. They were shot and killed by soldiers.
 LATER-It is now estimated 500 persons perished and 5000 injur- ! ed; 5000 houses were destroyed. The towns of Puebla, Viejo y Ciu- dad and Panuco have totally dis appeared with heavy losses of life.
