turned on, the physician observed
that his face was dusky, and that a
little river of saliva was flowing from
his mouth. The man was breathing
painfully and very rapidly. DR.. Car
michael walked toward the bed.
Then he heard a step in the hall.
Quickly he turned, and STROBE out of
the room, closing the door behind him.
Althea had come up the stairs.
Whats the matter?" she asked.
SIS Godfrey ill?"
"Very ILL.,"

"But must, Jamey."
"You can't" DR.. Carmichaels
voice was almost strident. Listen,
Althea, the man I talked to in the
hotel garden - he's a clerk in the
Marine Bureau. They've quarantined
the boat Godfrey was on the day
before yesterday - the boat from
Bombay. Three of its men are down
with bubonic plague"
Althea didn't move.
When did you see Godfrey last?"

And Godfrey -"
She moved toward the bedroom door.
Nothing can save him"
Althea took another step forward.
DR.. Carmichael clasped her arm with
one hand, and with the other locked
the door to the bedroom, removing
the key.
mo one must 60 in," he said.
Neither you nor the servants.
Where's the phone? I've got to notify
the authorities.
Together, they stumbled down the
stairs.
Neither of them heard Mrs. Dav-
entry's hand on the knob of the locked
door, nor the sound of her body falling
against it and slipping gently down
to the floor.

She wasn't. She worried from the
moment he left their bungalow until
his return. Whenever he changed his
clothes, she had to manipulate the
transference of the bit of yarn, though
she hated to believe that Bob's success
was due to the gypsy spell, and not to
his own ability. Success hadn't turned
his head.
Three months after their arrival in
Hollywood, the Westons were the
most sought-after couple for dinners
and suppers. and were called the
kids by everyone
Bob began to worry about Margaret.
She wasn't happy. She wasn't trying
to find a job. And she looked pale and
thin.
What is the matter with you,
Margaret? he asked her one evening
when they were returning from a
party. Have you left someone
behind?"

Il won't do that" Margaret cried.
Il won't make fool of you" And
putting her hand to his sleeve button,
she unwound the piece of yarn and
showed it to him.
And what's this'" Bob queried.
And then Margaret told him all, and
of her fear that the thing might get
lost.
Bob laughed and laughed. He lit

picked up several and felt the weight
of them. ! found out how to get them
into the sacks which had the openings
below. l did it by lying down and
fitting myself little up from my heels.
And then / looked at the old man
again. And look at his eyes made me
think again about the whole business.
He looked too much like Destiny
watching village that was going to
get an avalanche or some other dis
aster; children and chickens running
about. and men singing, and nobody
guessing that all that wouldn't go on
year after year for ages; and only
Destiny knowing.
Il began to think of the other two
men. and the man who had sold me
the ticket. began to get the idea that
whoever took one nugget would take
one or two more, and that those men
might not be so ready as they appeared
to give all that gold away to any
stranger at the price of half-a-crown.
And gradually from that, looking
every now and then at the eyes of the
old man sitting there without speaking
very luckily came upon the idea that
the only way to get safe from that
place at all was to acquire the idea
about gold that they evidently had
themselves in the two little temples;
to ignore it, that is to say, altogether.
and to leave it alone as one would
leave alone cobras. You see, you
wouldn't much think of swimming
with leaden belts strapped on to you,
belts that you couldn't get off; yet
there's this advantage in lead, there's
no temptation to take just a little bit
more. and a little bit more again,
beyond the amount you are sure you
can safely carry. For moment l
thought Of taking just one fair-sized
nugget; but see now that. if had, I
should never have stopped at one;
and, just as / was making up my
mind, I took one more look at the old
man sitting there. who never had
spoken yet. And somehow that look
was enough.
II ran down to the water, butting
my toe on horribly large nugget, and
dived in and swan back for the
shore; and very nasty storm was
coming up from beneath, but reached
the shore before it got to its worst.
There are thousands of men that have
kept away from acquiring gold, and
many no doubt have been as near as
l. but any nearer is impossible; any
nearer than that and it drags you
down."
And Jorkens uttered a sigh.
The sigh of a man who has barely
escaped a great peril? The sigh of a
man who has lost incompatible
riches? | don't know which it was.

At the St. George. dinner was over,
and Althea was sitting alone in the
hotel garden. DR.. Carmichael had
stopped, on the way out, to speak to
friend. He was gone long time, and
returned without an apology.
II wish you'd join the Harrises for
a WHILE" he declared. I've got to
make hurried call. I'll come back
for you"
"A call - where?"
I'm the town."
IAN right" Althea said. you can
drop me on the way. I'm very uneasy
about Geoff."
"I'd rather you stayed here"
"It's nearly midnight. l want to 60
home. Jamey."
''All right" the doctor said shortly,
"I'll stop with you"
They turned into the Rue D'Isly
and coasted down the hill. When the
car reached the private road to the
villa. the engine had stopped running.
DR.. Carmichael put his foot on the
brake, and shut off the ignition. The
house is dark as a pocket" he re-
marked. "Geoffrey's probably asleep"
Probably" Althea agreed. 'He
was going to take luminal."
"I'll have a look at him. anyway"
the doctor said.

They opened the front door. Althea

Althea looked at him, wide-eyed,
and let him pass up the stairs. In the
dim light of the upper hall, DIR. Car
michael encountered a native boy. The
Arab seemed frightened. "Mr. Hill is
asleep" he said.
IAN right Il want to see him."
AS the doctor laid his hand on the
knob. he distinctly heard someone
move in the room. There was a closet
in the corner, and Jamison Car
michael could have sworn that its
door closed silently as he shut the
outer door behind him. He touched
the switch. and. a moment later, had
forgotten everything but the man in
the bed.

There was no answer.

lust watching the very thing we
were speaking of a little while ago, the
difficulty men find in stopping the
acquisition of gold.
"Well, stripped and the fellow in
the shack by the temple strapped the
bathing kit on to me; it fastened from
behind. In front there were two large
bags to carry the nuggets. with the
opening below, so that you had to
close them when filled, to prevent
everything falling out. They closed
with padlocks and. as the man who
took my ticket kept the key, there was

about the lake: told me the depth of it

said Jorkens. ITO begin with. it would
be stealing; for the gold on that island
legally belongs to the idol they keep
in that temple; not a very nice idol
either; and the ownership is respected
by the Government of India. Your
two-rupee ticket only entities you to
bring away what you can swim with.
More than that the idol does not
grant. As for boats. they are contrary

and into the warm water, and found
the queer kit they had fastened on me
hampered me very little. A swim Of
four hundred yards or so didn't tire
me much in those days, and whenever

came to the island in under ten
minutes.
"And there the nuggets were. in
enormous numbers, lying like f1ints in
the stoniest field that anyone ever set
eyes on; and an old man sitting upon
the ground outside little temple was
watching. without raising his eyes at
my arrival. as though he only cared to
see which of the nuggets Id take.

HANGMAN DECAPITATES
WOMAN IN CANADA

Montreal, Que, March 29.-Two
men and a woman were hanged at
Bordeaux Jail today in the first triple
execution in the city's history.
Mrs. Thomasina Sarao, last Of the
trio to face the hangman, was de-
capitated.
All three were executed for the
insurance murder of Mrs. Sarao's
husband.
The woman's hanging was bungled.
Arthur Ellis, Canada's executioner,
made the rope too long, permitting
hitting the body to drop too far
Force of the fall tore the head from
Mrs. Sarao's body, which dropped Is
feet to the snow covered jailyard. The
head, cover in a black cap, dangled
for moment in the moose and then
fell.
Mrs. Sarsao, Leone Gagliardi, SO,
and Angelo Donofrio, 10, high school
student, were convicted of numbering
Mrs. Sarao's husband, Nicola Sarao

100000 gallons of corn liquor is

It is the governments estimate

the state with gallon annually and

STOMACH PATCHED WITH
PIG, MAN LIVES % YEARS

Geneva, On the midst of news
about upside-down stomachs and dis
arranged organs, H. P. Williamson,
68, of Cork, near here, has come forth
to proclaim that for % years he has
been digesting his food with a stom-
ach, part of which was once a pigs.
Williamson, more than two decades
ago underwent two operations in
Cleveland for ulcers of the stomach.
The second time, surgeons found it
necessary to do some patching.
A part of stomach removed from
a pig was used as the "patch,"
Williamson said.
Williamson's health has been good
during the % years, though he has
been unable. to stand much exertion.
He said his appetite had been normal
except during two illnesses.
