came instantly to his summons.
"Effendi Aswami Pasha."
The servant bowed low, and with
drew silently.
Port Said was seething with indigna-
ton. When towards dusk it became
evident that Eileen Kearney had been
abducted, for no other conclusion re-
manned, both the American and British
consulates set to work in earnest.
The town was combed with a nicely
calculated to discover a rat in corn
field But no trace could be found of
the missing girl. Doctor Oestler's &C.
count Of what had happened was sim
pie enough. Miss Kearney had sug-
gested walking along to the shop of the
scent merchant, and he had accompa-
MED her. The doctors statement was
confirmed both by the Greek scent mer-
chant and by the Egyptian tobacconist.
Mr.. Len Chow, it was learned from
the Eastern exchange, had caught the
train to Cairo, only having had lunch
in the hotel. Of Franz Hartog no trace
could be found.
The news, OF course, was known on
board, and state of CONSERVATION
prevailed. Port Said was living up to
its ancient reputation. Every woman
passenger who was ashore hurried
back to the ship. h
Captain Peterson paced his cabin,
his tanned, lined face haggard with
anxiety. The companys agent sat at
the desk. Shale, the British consul,
standing beside him. and the American
consul stood by the door,

retorted. "a young American citizen

Colombo-is kidnapped in broad day

dol"
Suspected. yes" cried the other des-
perately. "But that's not proof!"
What puzzles me-" the captain in
terjected, trying to pour oil on troubled
waters, ''is the absence of Inspector
Haig. If we had the authority of
Scotland Yard behind us, we might be
able to act. Besides, what evidence
there is, he holds"
Its little enough" said the British
consul-'unless he had added to it
since this morning."
Mr.. Forman's face was very stern.
I'm short, sir" he said, you don't in
tend to take any steps about this gang
of crooks you've got on board; al.
dence may be, and say d-n the evi.
dence that they are certainly re.
sponsible?"
But the inspector himself assured
me that there was nothing to justify
an arrest" said Captain Peterson.
Another point; the attempt to muir
der Inspector Haig off here last night
is good enough to show the type of des
perados we're dealing with"
That's true enough" the captain
admitted But nobody on board ever
saw the missing Chinaman speak to q
soul except to the stewards"
There's nothing" Shale explained
YEARLY, nothing whatever, to connect
him with the rest of the gang. Surely
you can see that, Forman? l mean

The door Of the treasure house was
opened, and he had a glimpse of a
long, low room lined with shelves and

there were no passers-by. 1t was a

Doctor Heatherley, and the two

them. Presently Doctor Heatherley
glanced at his watch.
"Our friends are late" said he. "They
must have found the Mystery shop"

the women asked.
Doctor Heatherley smiled. "All sorts
of stories are told about Port Said," he
replied, most of them frankly lies.

produced correspondence which seemed
