When he opened this envelope, he laughed,

velope had to be reversed in order to read:

may not. Not too late, if England knows"
That last phrase sobered Forsyth. He was
no longer amused FroWning, he opened this
last envelope - and so came at last to the
bewildering heart of the matter.
The final enclosure was sheet of thin
paper, opaque and tough, of standard Size
folded down the middle like note paper so
that it offered as it were four pages to the
writer's pen. Both sides were closely written.
Forsyth by quick count found that there

out the whole; SO for the present he was con-
tent to study the document only long enough
to make sure that it was - or appeared to be
--a hopeless confusion. 1t seemed to deal, in
technical terms, with variety of military
and naval matters; phrases and sentences
caught Forsyth's eye:

Forsyth sat thoughtful
and mmoving for a while.
This seemed on the surface
to be a hoax of an obscure
sort; yet there was in
him a curious certainty
that something was ex-
pected of him. He had the
novelist's imagination, and
it was racing now. The
material in this letter from
China was on its surface
meaningless. yet Forsyth
had a stubborn confidence
that there was meaning in
it somewhere.
He considered what to
do; and during the next
few weeks. the thing became
a game he played.
But the game would turn
to deadly earnest by and by.
Around any incident that
seems to him dramatic,
Evening star., 1935-12-01

whether 1t be amusing or tragic, the writer OF
fiction is apt instantly to build in his thoughts
tale. In this matter of the letter from China,
Forsyth, sitting there alone in the Club
library. did exactly that. He created char
acter, set of circumstances, dilemma; he
proceeded to resolve the dilemma and bring
the story to crisis and a conclusion.
He imagined a man, probably a naval
officer, certainly an Eng ;shman who had
been dismissed from the service in disgrace;
and who fell into disSolute ways and became
an outcast, beach Comber, wastrel wan
dering through shameful places on the China
coast. And he imagined that this man came
somehow upon secret of Importance to
England, and saw chance to make amends
for his own past disgrace by transmitting
that secret to his country's representatives.
Yet the man was watched The people are
about, but not till night " So he mailed letters
to persons he had known, and to one ''as
yet unknown" to name chosen at random
from the torn and tattered pages of some
dogs-eared magazine. A letter thus addressed,
and in a disguised, iliterate hand might not
be intercepted. -.
Forsyth chuckled at the folly of his own
fancies, and yet he did not dismiss them. This
letter from China might be a joke or it might
be the work of disordered mind. But - it
might be neither jest nor madness. There in
the Club library he wrote
"Thespian Club, New York.
December IL 1888.

chance that the material enclosed may be of
interest or Importance, | venture to send it

meaningless, will you please return it to me

Randall p. Forsyth"
He gave his address as the Thespian Club,
since here for the present he would lodge. he
got a large envelope from the desk and
dropped the letter into the mail box in the
Evening star., 1935-12-01
December 1, 1885

OlSnnSSed the matter from MS mind.
Just after lunch that day, Jose Garcia
came to the Club and asked to see him. When
the name was brought in, Forsyth went to
interview the applicant. Garcia was a Filipino,
he decided
How did you know the place was open"
he asked.

cousin was the chauffeur for a lady in the

'I'll manage till the apartment ready"
When is that. please9"
Cant tell"
Jose smiled, teeth shining smile full of
promise Il will tell" he declared. and de-
parted.
Wednesday morning, the desk clerk at the
apartment 'phoned. Have you taken on a
new man. Mr. Forsyth? That Cuban chap,
Garcia?"
"Whyo"
He's up here trying to hurry the repairs.
Asked for your mail. Making a nuisance of
himself"
Forsyth chuckled. Get the work done. he
suggested. Probably that's the easiest way
to be rid of him." He was pleased with Jose's
zeal
Jose came daily thereafter to ask for orders;
and on Friday he announced that the apart
ment was ready, and he welcomed Forsyth
home. He proved, during the next few weeks,
to be a perfect servant except perhaps for
an excessive solicitude. He was like a shadow,
forever at his masters elbow; but Forsyth
toleranty attributed this only to Jose's great
desire to serve.
He found his bath drawn and always of the
right temperature; the shirts and socks and
ties laid out for his daily wear were always
chosen with discreet respect for their blend
ing hues; his mail was always sorted into piles
personal, business, secOnd-class - and each
envelope was neatly slit; the pencils on his
desk were always needle-sharp; his cigarette
box was filled each morning. When telephone
messages came for him. they were always
accurately taken His cocktail was neither too
sweet nor too dry, and his glass Of ale at bed
time was always of exactly the right tempera-
ture. In short, Forsyth ceased to regret John.
He had almost forgotten the letter from
China, when one day some five or six weeks
after he forwarded it to Washington, he found
in his box at the Thespan Club an official
envelope, and opened it and read:

This, surely should have ended the matter.
But Forsyth was a stubborn man; and that
character he had created, the disgaced naval
officer seeking to do one last service to his
country, seemed to stand at his elbow be-
seechingly. He himself had in reading the
letter from China been half convinced that
the writer was insane; but when D. B, Pres
wick, Acting - whatever that might mean -
of the Naval Intelligence Department, agreed
with him, Forsyth began to doubt his own
former opinion. So he wrote another letter:

THE PRICE OF CITRUS FRUIT

AS was expected and freely predicted,
the Valleys citrus fruit industry is having
mighty hard shedding III this, the first sea-
son of maximum production.
No matter what the reason, growers are
not receiving a sufficient amount for their
fruit to pay expenses. and when interest
on the investment is taken into considera-
ton, added to a reasonable salary for
supervision and that sort of thing, there is
not a citrus grower in the Valley but is
losing money.
What the cause or the causes we cannot
say.
No doubt but that general conditions
the country over have something to do
with the low prices being received by the
grower.
No doubt overhead, notably freight
rates, have something to do with current
prices at this end.
And again no doubt but that the pres
ent ~disorganized state of grower and ship
per has still more to do with it.
In spite of a 40 per cent decrease in the
Florida crop, due to the freeze which hit
the citrus belt of that state in December,
~tA WIG consequence @At OOWH III ItOIlQd
shipments, we find grapefruit being quoted
out of the Valley al. 81 per box, fob.
And peculiarly, we find that Valley
grapefruit is bringing more on the auction
markets of the country by far than it is
bringing when quoted out Of the Valley at
fob prices.
AS stated above, we do not feel qualified
to pass upon the exact causes which have
brought about this condition.
But we do feel qualified to state, and we
believe it sticks out like a sore thumb on
a violinist, that the disorgahized state of
grower and shipper is a considerable con-
tributing cause.
Shippers are ~disorganized on almost any
subject in connection with the marketing
of grapefruit, from a national advertising
campaign on up or down the line.
They disagree on PROBATION, they dis
agree on the minimum price to be quoted,
they disagree on the elimination of un-
classified shipments, they disagree on
everything in connection with the industry.
Growers are unorganized, although this
condition is being remedied by the opera
tons of the Texas Citrus Growers League,
and right here there is a warning to ship

Gestures-Many folks-even some

World Court issue instead Of con-
~centrating strictly on his domestic
economic knitting. Calloused old
timers say the answer Is simple.
Every administration strives &c

which ~ may point with pride.
Mr.. Harding had his Washing
ton Arms conference and first
trotted out the World Court. This
came just after the close OF the
World War when the people knew
they wanted peace even II they
didn't want the League OF Nations
TO preserve 1t.
Mr.. Coolidge maintained his
customary Sphinx-ike silence and
let the senate ratify the World
Court with reservations which
were promptly rejected by other
world powers. Thereafter he con-
fined himself 10 putting over the
Kellogg BRAND pact to outlaw war
as his contribution to information
al peace.
Mr.. Hoover took a whirl at the
World Court with the Root-Hearst
formula as a basis for adherence.
Our foreign neighbors turned a
thumb down on portions OF " be-
fore q final vote. SO MIR. Hoover
turned To affairs at home. which
we're getting pretty hot. managing

the German debt moratorium as
his big international gesture.
