Archie was carried up to the bridge
protesting vigorously.
What did you mean by bringing
that hussy aboard here?" his mother
fired, after she had listened to the
engineers story of the sequence of
events as he knew them.
II thought it would be a good chance
for you to get acquainted with her.
You'd have learned how nice she is,
and you and granddaddy both would
have approved of the marriage. If
only these beastly murders hadn't
happened" he whined dismally.
"Pshaw!" Mrs. Glass Kissed furious
ly. "You brought that hussy on board
here to poison us all"
"Now mother. Grace wouldn't poi
son flea. She's not the type. And
as for granddaddy, you know she wor-
shipped him. She always tried to
make me understand him." He was
pleading the best he knew how, OBJ
livious of the three men who were
listening.
"What was she doing spying around
my galley?" Mrs. Glass insisted te-
naciously.
Archie puckered his eyebrows and
offered: 81 don't know what she was
doing in the kitchen, unless she was
looking for evidence. That was it
of course. She said something about
examining the food. She thought
granddaddy had eaten something. She
talked with me about it. Why the
poor girl was heartbroken over grand
daddy's DEATH" He was beginning to
be incoherent in his anxiety over Grace
Devin.
"Heartbroken to the tune of a mil
lion dollars" Mrs. Glass pursed her
lips and snickered with an ugly sound.
81 suppose you think you can marry
her and go through that million just
like you squandered the three million
your father left you. Maybe you had
it planned that I was the next to go,
so you could fling my money to the
four Winds" she accused scathingly.
Archie wiggled uncomfortably.
"There's no use in suspecting either
Grace or me of murder. What about
these other people? 2"
"Never mind the other people. It's
time now for you to tell your story.
They've told theirs"
"Where is Grace?"
Locked up, and she stays there, q"

knew how to answer questions.
"My plans?" queried Dupont archly.

Hampton, Grace Devin and Phil Ry-

them. The bodies of the victims dis
appear. Chaplin and Hampton are
locked up on suspicion. Through error
the crew puts Chaplin in Archie
room where he finds Harris will and
q letter to Archie from Grace read
ing: 81 am afraid something drastic
will have to be done before your
grandfather approves OF our engage
ment." Archie orders Chaplin to his
own cabin and locks him in. Chaplin
reads the will and learns that Hart

Glass, Hampton, Ryder, Grace and
In with the will is newspaper ac-

Montgomery, aboard his yacht Car

son, Archie, and the burial in mid
Pacific. The clipping also states that
Montgomery was divorced from his
wife and that all his estate was left
to his son. Chaplin suspects Archie
of the crimes and believes Grace is
his accomplice. Ryder slips into
Chapin's cabin and tells him that
Hampton has escaped. Archie enters
and demands his papers. Suddenly
the door opens and Hampton takes
Archie unawares and ties him up
Hampton overheard the mate and en-
gineer threatening mutiny. They
claim Archie is double crossing his
mother and that it was he who in
structed the crew to pretend they
could not speak English. The ships

find their way to New York. The
mate and engineer also hold Archie
responsible for this. Ryder guards

on Chaplin and Mrs. Glass with the
news that the mate, Nichols, has just

Mrs. Glass snorted. "Never mind
her for the moment. want to know
why you demanded that the officers
of the Carmen deceive me into think
ing that they did not understand Eng
lish, or speak it?" She faced him
resolutely.
Archie's face redeemed. He cough

"Well!" Hampton prodded him.
"What was the trick?"
at was suggested to me-this mat
ter of having the officers speak only
Polynesian by master mind over
which l have no control"
"That's a lie," Hampton sneered.
"To think that I'd live to see the
day to find my only son a murderer"
Mrs. Glass moaned.
"I'm not murderer" he protested
defiantly.
"The question is, who persuaded
you to command the officers of the
Carmen to speak only Polynesian?"
Chaplin put in, coldly.
"Er-"
Hampton poked him in the ribs.
"There was a master mind-but err"
he stumbled in his speech, and adj
justed his glasses nervously.
"But, what? ?" Hampton prodded him
again.

"That's another lie," his mother
snarled. Dupont had nothing to do
with it. Be man for once in your
life and tell your own story"
He strained at the cords on his
wrists, every nerve tense. "I'm not
taking the blame for what didn't
do" he groaned. II tell you Paul had
some axe to grind. It was his idea
to shanghai these two men and the
jockey I thought at first that he
knew them and wanted to play joke.

these men aboard and playing joke

cords on his wrist-one hand almost
free.
did you come to unite these damn
knots?" he asked as Chaplin entered
the room and sat down.
"No. l came to tell you that Ar
chic has confessed" Chaplin said cold
ly, and eyed the man before him
with slow deliberation.
''To what ?" Dupont responded terse-
ly and looked unconcerned.
"To everything-including the iden-
tity of the master mind" There was
an interval of silence.
"Archie always was a weakling,"
Dupont sneered at length. "May I
ask who the master mind ISL"
Chaplin did not answer. He was
looking at sheet of paper on the desk
beside him. The paper was covered
with figures and notations. He pick

"Put that down." Dupont snapped
irritably, and made an effort to seize
the paper. But in his attempt to stand
up, the rope around his ankle hinder
ed him. and he fell back onto the bed.
The figures, Chaplin noted, seemed
to represent various items expended
for clothing. It looked suspiciously
like an account of the clothing con-
tanned in the suitcases purchased for
himself and Hampton and Ryder.
you're a fool" Dupont Kissed, eff
you pay any attention to Archie and
his talk about a master mind. Haven't
you ever heard that that is stock
phrase?"
Chaplin ignored him. He had found
another paper that looked interesting.
1t was a roughly drawn plan of
house, garage and garden with the es-
timated cost figured on the margin.
1t looked like an expensive proposition.
Chaplin wondered if Dupont was mar

autographed-"Lovingly yours, Mathil

and clothing estimate into side pock-
ct of his coat.
Dupont was watching him narrow
ly.
Chaplin turned upon him abruptly.
"Where did you learn Polynesian,
Dupont?"
"New Zealand The answer was
abrupt.
"You were Anthony Montgomery's
attorney" Chaplin was guessing.
"Well?"
"You have known Mrs. Glass for
years." he was still guessing, and he
noticed that Dupont seemed to be lis
tening to something outside the room.
He listened also. And heard the
: sound of muffled, tagging footsteps

for Chaplin to open the door.
Chaplin called: "Come in" and Ry-

slumped into the nearest chair, eyes
bullying with excitement.
"Will yer go let Grace out?" he
cried, 81 called up them stairs to the
) bridge, but nobody heard me, an !
couldn't make the grade, so I thought
I'd try an see if anyone was down
here"
what do you want Grace out for? ?"
Chaplin asked, puzzled.
"She's found something. She found
a bottle Of poison and some ground
glass in the kitchen, an some con-
centrated lemon juice with the stuff
, in it,"
GLOW do you know"
"Me, I got lonesome an went out
an looked at her through the window.
She motioned that she had somethin'
!, ter say, so l busted the glass in the

the stuff. She'd just packed it into
cupboard when the engineer caught
her. She thinks he done the MUIR
ders."
'What motive could he have had ?"
81 dunno. Mabe he wanted the
schooner to himself"
Dupont said sardonically: eff Archie
confessed, he must have implicated
the girl. She came on board with
him."
Chaplin ignored this remark and
said to Ryder: "Think you can hobble
back and unlock the door. if I give
you the key?" He was not quite sure
that he trusted the little jockey. He
had left him alone with Archie, whose
hands and feet had been tied and Ar
chic had escaped. He was taking no
chances with Dupont.

TUBERCULOSIS AID
APPEAL SOUNDED
Superintendent Peabody
Says Civic Organizations
Should Be More Active.

An appeal to citizens associations
and civic bodies to get behind the
campaign to increase the District ap-
preparation to fight the spread of
tuberculosis was made yesterday by
DR.. j. w. Peabody, superintendent of
the tuberculosis Hospital.
In an address before the Probus
Club, DR.. Peabody said:
If civic associations would come
forward and advocate the expenditure
of these funds proposed appropria-
tions). great strides could be made
toward protection O. the health of the
city"
DR.. Peabody said the following steps
should be taken to bring tuberculosis
under control:
l. Establishment of we'll organized
central clinic, adequately stated.
2. Establishment of open air classes
or schools.
3. Establishment of preventoria and
health camps for children.
4. Establishment of a completely
stated receiving station for all tuber-
culosis cases.
5. Establishment of sanatoria capa-
BILE of caring for all who need treat
ment.
Some folks might consider these
sought-for appropriations to be enor-
NOUS" said DR.. Peabdy, but when
you consider that the expenditure of
the funds are justified, perhaps a
thousandfold. by definite savings
through the reduction of illness and
premature death and the conservation
of earning power, then it will be
recognized the money would be well
invested indeed"
