THE STORY SO FAR

JANE WESTON feels her dreams have come true when she sets out on Q three weeks ocean cruise, accepted in payment for the sal- lary due her when the magazine for which she worked as typist suspended publication.
 On board the ship, she meets handsome DIRK STROM, expert skl jumper, as penniless as Jane. The trip was . gift to him from the parents of . child whose life he saved.
 Dirk introduces Jane to his friend, SNOWSHOES, a detective. Others on board are: NORA LANE, famous actress and owner Of the KObinor diamond; wealthy, eccentric MADAME DOREMUS; DUTCH LENZ and MANNIE JACKSON, blackmailers; TINO ROSSI, opera singer; KEN MAR TIN and LINDA BAYES, floor show entertainers.
 Dirk and Jane spend much of their time together. Then 8 mis- understanding comes between them. Dirk meets Nora Lane and is attentive to her. TinO ROsSi becomes Jane's constant escort.
 SnOwshoes persuades Miss Lane to turn the KOkin0r diamond over to the purser and they go to her gtateroom to get 1t.
 The detective returns for Dirk. Ho tells him Mamie Jackson Is lying dead in Nora Lanes state room.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XIV
 When Dirk reached Suite A he saw Nora Lane in the sitting room, her features pale. Seated close to the wall, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and stared into nothingness before her She was bewildered.
 His eyes swept through the door to the bedroom beyond and he saw the body of Mamie Jackson. The purser was bending over it, going through the pockets of the suit The ships doctor came out of the bedroom and seeing the detective, said, Hes been dead only short whilee Not more than an hour, l should say
 "Shot while Miss Lane was with us in the ballroom" Snowshoes said thoughtfully. "Or in the bar Between II o'clock and midnight"
 The actress sat there, wringing her handkerchief. She stood up and said, her whole being wretched with despair, "Oh, why should this have happened to me on thif cruiser"
 She was plainly too distracted to be of any use in the ships in- quest, and the doctor indicated to the purser that he was to provide another stateroom for her, where she could get some rest.
 Nora Lane appealed to the purs- CT. "Oh, this won't get to the pa- p@S, will it? Oh, why, why? Hoven't enough to bear without this thing?"
 The doctor laid Q hand gently on her shoulders. You'd better go away to another stateroom and get some rest" he said.
 No, no, mo-" she replied. T won't go to bed before we know more about this monstrous-"
 The purser came to them shaking his head.

we had left in 1888. we're buried un-
dear some 8 feet of presumably
monsoon snow.
For three days we worked on the
ice slopes of the North Col. and by
July IL we had established a camp
at the foot of the northeast ridge of
Everest, and stocked it with sufficient
food and fuel to last us for IS days.
1t was occupied by Kempson, Warren
and myself, and nine Sherpas.
Made Rapid Progress.
Our plan was to take light camp
up to $4,000 feet and from there to
investigate the snow conditions on
the slabs of the upper part of the
mountain and to reconnoiter some Of
the ground about which there has
been so much debate. Actually. so
far as equipment, food and man power
went, we were in a position to make
an attempt on the summit had the
snow conditions been favorable, and
the ease and speed with which we
had gained this position and subse-
quently evacuated it is strong evidence
of the enormous advantage of the
light mobile party over the large
one
We had esta ablished ourselves on
the North Col in less than a week
after leaving Rongbuk. and 1t seemed
advisable to spend the next two or
three days in rest and acclimatiza-
ton The weather was bad and life
on the col was far from pleasant,
but although we were haraSsed by a
nasty wind, which was particularly
fierce at night. it was warmer than
during the period before the monsoon.
and one could move about without
constant threat of frostbite.
We spent four days waiting for
better weather. during which time
we made one excursion up the ridge.
As time was OF no particular I'M
portance and our job was to keep an
eye on the mountain during the
whole of the monsoon, we had made
up our minds not to force our way
far above the North Col in bad weather.
But it seemed waste of time to hang
about doing nothing, so we decided
to leave on the col all the food and
fuel we had with us and what tents
and equipment we could spare and to
descend to camp No. 3 to spend our
time climbing other peaks in the
vicinity until the weather improved.
We could then return to the North
Col without the effort Of having to
carry anything farther up there.

He was sent to Jail by Police

not pay a fine of $3.50 for driving
while drunk.
Vasquez found police lenient
when his 1925 vintage automobile
crashed into one which A. G
Prince, Negro, had parked in front
of 420 Commercial avenue at 1923
pm. Sunday. Vasquez was told to
walk TO his home in Imperial. and
come back for his automobile Mon
day morning, if he was sober. He
walked away-but not to Imperial.
At 1923 he was arrested on

BAN ON BUNS
ARRANGED BY
TEN COUNTIES
Imperial Included;
Ware to Attend
L. A. Meeting

Bum blockades along the
state lines in 10 Southern
California counties will be
established this month as a
part of the program to re-
duce the annual winter influx OF
penniless itinerants. The plan
this year will follow, in general,
that established at Winterhaven
and elsewhere in the state last
winter by Chief Of Police john
Davis of Los Angeles.
Sheriff Robert w. Ware of I'm
perial county is a member of a
committee appointed by the South
ern California Supervisors associ-
alton and headed by Sheriff Eu-
gene Biscailuz of Los Angeles
county. Sheriff Ed Champness OF
Kern county is the other men,
Der. The three officers will meet
for a conference in Los Angeles
Tuesday to complete arrangements
for handling the blockade.
The 10 counties will provide a
pro rata of men, based on the
population of the county, thus en-
failing no great outlay of money.
Imperial county's. expense, declar-
ed Ware, will be small because
of its comparatively small popu-
lation.
Approximately so men will be
required to police the entrances
at eight points.
Three shifts Of men will be
required to handle the 24-hour
service. Seventeen men will be
assigned to Imperial county be-
cause a majority of the itinerants
enter the state at Winterhaven.
Three points of entrance in San
Bernardino county will be policed
by IA men. The blockadeS will be
situated at Kelso, Cady, and Par
ker. Riverside county will have
five men situated at Blythe, San
ia Barbara county, six men at
men at Delano.
Railroad officials with lines en-
tering the state again have prom
ised cooperation in establishing
and maintaining the blockade. Los
Angeles already has established a
similar blockade at the city limits
Last year 9,512 persons actually
were questioned at the borders.
All but a few turned back rather
than submit to fingerprinting and
trial for evading railway fare OF
on yagrancy charges. This year
automobile itinerants are to be
questioned again and the Officers
will be backed by the law prevent
ing the transportation of paupers
from one state to another.
No housing problem was created
by the blockade at Winterhaver
last winter, Ware declared, as less
than one dozen persons were taken
to the county Jail by the blockad-
ers. Twenty-siX per cent of those
arrested in January last year had
residency in the county of less
than one year. More than so pei
cent had previous criminal rec
! ordS.
Sheriff Riscailuz asked TO have
Deputy Police Chief Homer B
Cross, vino directed the Los An
geles border blockade last winter

quest was granted.
