SYNOPSIS

John Spencer and his cousin, Geoffrey
Bohun, are mentioning in Austria
Geoffrey is a gifted portrait painter but
prefers to paint landscapes. While
strolling in the forest, John hears Eng
lish voices and decides to investigate
From safe cover he finds four men
burying a man in green livery who
evidently, had been murdered. Pharaoh
is the leader of the gang; the others
are Dewdrop. Rush and Bugle. Unfor-
tunately. John makes himself known to
the assassins by dropping a letter with
his name and address. He tells Godfrey
and his chauffeur, Barley, of his adj
venture. Godfrey, realizing that Johns
life is in danger declares he must van
ish. Spencer discovers that the livery
of the murdered man corresponds to
the livery of the servants Of Yorick
castle and tells Countess Helena, mis-
tress of the castle, what he had seen.
With Godfrey and Barley, John starts
for Annabel, a nearby village. They
encounter Pharaoh. In making their
getaway they exchange shots with the
gang, without serious result. They ar
rive at Plumage farm, on the Yorick
estate, where Lady Helena had request
ed John and his cousin to meet her.
She reveals to them that her father
had converted his immense fortune into
gold sovereigns and hidden them away
in a secret vault in the castle Know
ing that his son, Valentine, Helena's
brother, was incapable Of controlling
the fortune, he had revealed it to Hell
ena alone just before his death. In
some manner the news had leaked out
and Pharaoh is after the treasure
They planned that Godfrey and Barley
would go to Salzburg to watch for
Pharaoh, while John was to remain
at Plumage, lying low in the daytime
and patrolling the roads about Yorick
from dusk to dawn.

Greatest Single Sculler
Was Also the Tiniest

Edward Hanlan, probably the great
est single sculler who ever lived, also
was one of the smallest. He was five
feet eight inches tall and rowed best
when weighing 152 pounds. Hanlan
came from Toronto, was one of the
best liked oarsmen of all time, and was
called "Canada's Boy in Blue" That
last was because he always wore a
blue shirt and cap while racing.
The first recorded international boat
race participated in by American oars
men took place in 1924 near Hoboken.
Then four New York Harbor men cas-
lily beat a picked crew from the
Thames. More than $4,000 people wit
messed the race and later the winners
presented their boat to General Lafay-
cite.
Walter okeson, chairman of the in
tercoIIegiate rules committee which
looks down upon such carvings on

'9os, when the pay for play business
was not as we'll organized as now, he
played with the Latrobe (Pa.) club.
Frank Ives, one of the most celebrat-
ed of billiard champions, also starred
as a baseball catcher, bike rider, roller
skater and horseman. Perhaps his

And so on and on.
Thorpe listened, frowned and was
silent. 1t Is said that Indians never
reveal their thoughts by the express
sions on their faces. So his friends
may have been wondering what was
going on behind those high, copper
coiored cheek bones during the long
moments of silence. But they did not
have to wait long. Thorpe stretched
out one long arm, pointed at them and
spoke.

Motor vehicle operators involved in fatalities in l035 on Saturday and Sunday accounted for little more than 30 per cent of the total fatalities for that year, according to 6 report issued today by the safety education section of the dee partment of motor vehicles.
 The experience on Saturday was Q little worse than on Sunday there being 6 difference of per cent. The report states: Tt would seem that the wek.end operators with no business cares to occupy their minds would operate their motor vehicles in a safe manner due to tho fact that there is much more trafilc oil these two days.
 However. the records clearly point out that the times the opera- tors should be given their best ef- forts to driving are apparently the times they become reckless opera. tors"
