and collar were correct. But Cis- nik's face was red and lined. His eyebrows were black and heavy, his mouth full and sensuous, utterly cruel. He was a man who had be- come rich by staying on the other side of the law, by trading upor the misery of the unfortunate, Tr his own little, terrible world, his word was law. And his law brought him money to spend in the world beyond his own-so that he enjoyed a curious kind of respect where he deserved none.
 He walked toward the trem- bling Martha. "Women!" he grow led. They're always sticking their noses where they're not wanted. But you didn't find out anything I wouldn't have told you. That's opium-and I'm Johnny Ciznik. I'm the biggest operator in it, just as I was the biggest operator in liquor before repeal" He smiled at her ironically. Want to know anything else?"
 There's just one thing I want to know" Martha answered. stead. fly. Where's Betty Haynes? want you to take me to her--and want you to put us both ashore" /"
 Ciznik's eyes widened admir- ingly. Say you've got some stuff!" He walked to the table, got himself a cigaret. Your friends all right. You'u see her when I get ready" Carefully he lighted tn e cigaret, observed Martha keenly through the ilaze of gray smoke. "How'w ycu like to make a pot of dough?"
 q wouldn't. All I want is to get out of this!"
 "That5s pretty hard, baDy. Es- pecially when you're already in it up to your neck"
 I'm not in it." Martha cried. I've tried every way I know to-"
 "Oh, yes," interrupted Ciznik savagely. You're in it. You were in it the minute you drove out of San Diego with that trailer"
 "What do you mean?"
 Ciznik smiled. T mean that Sloss and Darlington work for me. We were trying something. A false com- partment in a family trailer-never be suspected. A compartment that could carry opium - even people. Chinese out of Mexico into the Uni ted States Natives out of Brit ish Columbia. At good price, of course. You were trying it out for us. We don't know yet whether the Treasury Department dicks are wise. But if they do smell anything it's too bad for you and your friend, isn't it?" He crushed the cigaret savagely. turned to her again. You ought to be proud to be in on some thing like that. It's the biggest idea John Ciznik ever had-and that's saying plenty. No trucks for the dicks to get wise to, but a caravan of trailers. Opium . . unstamped liquor. .
 Martha swayed against the wall. It seemed preposterous that she and Betty had been victims of this carefully planned hoax - the AirSpeed Trailer Company. But, as her mind raced swiftly back to that day in San Diego, she realized that her suspicious had been based upon a true intuition.

THE STORY so FAR
THE sTORY sO FAR

AMA2 OAO@A 0O IT AA
 Failing, with the help of GER BY NEAL, to locate her cOmpan- Kon, BETTY HAYNES, abducted by JACK SPEDDON, MARTHA BRITAIN starts north from San Francisco up the west coast. And suddenly she decides, even though she loves Neal, that he is impli- caeed in Betty's. disappearance. So at a small California town she has him arrested.
 Then Martha speeds on to Port land, still searching for Betty. There she learns of a JOHNNY CIZNTK, underworld character of Seattle, who seems to be involved, too. Police hint that Betty may have been murdered.
 Arriving in Seattle, Martha is ordered by ARNOLD SLOSS of the Airspeed Trailer Company, to turn over her equipment to designated agent who would meet her at the Yukon parking block. The agent is SpeddOn and he ab- duets Martha. She awakens hours later in an abandoned dock ware house. Then SpeddOn arrives, says he is taking her to see Bet ty, and Martha is loaded into an- other boat and chlOrOf0rmed. Next she awakens aboard heavy ship. There is a knock at the door and Speddon tells her she is to follow him to Ciznik's cabin. Steadied by SpeddOn's arm, Mar tha begins to climb the steel stairs. Betty, meanwhile, has not appeared as had been promised. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XXI

The steel companionway led to an enclosed deck above, but Martha still could not feel the bracing air, or know whether the vessel was in the open sea or Skirting the edges of some shore. She followed down a long passageway, hearing Speddon behind her and then, as she reach ed . dark-stained door, he said, "Go right in there. Ciznik will be along later"
 She opened the door and stepped into room much diff ferent from the one in which she had been imprisoned below. The walls were paneled with walnut. The center boasted heavy walnut table on which rested a beautiful ships lamp. There was a built-in double bunk over which was thrown a blue and white candle wick spread. On one side of the room were shelf after shelf of books, and on the other three large brass bordered port holes. Martha ran to one, peered out, into the darkness beyond. She could see mo- thing. No light, no dark outline of shore, hardly even the surface of the water itself.
 She turned to face Speddon, but found to her astonishment that he had not accompanied her into the room. AS she faced the door she heard the key turning within tn e lock. Once again she was caught-and this time waiting Eor Johnny Ciznik!
 In nervous idleness she roved Rbout the strange room. At the end opposite the door was great long chest, carved curiously. She tried to open the lid carelessly with one hand, but found that all her strength was necessary. And inside the big chest was square tin after square tin, piled one atop the other.
 Martha opened one. Inside was something that looked and smelled like flour. She was examining it cautiously when suddenly there was a a sound at the door and 1t swung open. In her fright, Mar tha dropped the tin box from neryeless fingers. The white powder splattered over the deep piled rug, and her startled eyes saw that within the flour had been a second, smaller, tin which was sealed tightly. In that fear fuI moment she knew that she had been examining opium - sealed within tins, then packed into flour in another tin so that when it was f1oated overheard It would keep dry!

FOR 27 years the Japanese Diet. or parliament, met in Tokio in temporary" quarters of wood and plaster. Then, in 1917, it was decided that parliamentary gov- ernment in Japan was there to stay, and so new permanent building was begun. In Novem- Der, 1886. 19 years later, this building was open for use. The largest public building in Japan, it cost $8,500,000.
 Most prominent feature of the new Diet building is it's massive central tower. topped by a gram ite pyramid. Inside, the square central hall rises to height of 170 feet, it's tall walls embellished with frescoes and arches. Native wood is used to panel the walls of the chambers for the upper and lower houses.
 A special set of stamps was is- sued to commemorate the opening of this structure. One of the stamps is shown here.

Brain TwizzIers By Prof. J. D. Flint

The merry-go-round murder was bne of the most curious crimes of police record. Even one of the de- tectives on the case was under sus- picion as being involved in the crime.

tried French, Portuguese, Scandi- navian, and all other languages, inc cluding the jibberish of the Pango- Pango head-hunter.
 It was perfect. Still not content he had every period, apostrophe, ,semicolon, colon (both long and 1 short), parenthesiS, and hyphen ex- amined under a. microscope. This was a wise move, because Lawyer Strauss needs nothing more than a slightly off-center punctuatio nmark to break contracts wide open. It is reported that Strauss broke the one Tommy Farr had with Schmel- ing, for a fight in London, on the strength of an uncrossed "t" and the misuse of @ capital letter.
 One thing about the contract be- tween Schmeling and Jacobs-it certainly makes Max the promoters little man" until September, 1899. Max must fight under Jacobs ban- ner, must do bodily harm only to those warriors named by Jacobs, and must fight only when Jacobs says SO. Other clauses said to be in the contract call for Schmeling to wear nothing but blue serge suits, eat no kind of salad save that made of sliced bananas and grated peanuts, tie handkerchief about his head when playing tennis Gone for sin- gles, two for doubles), and walk on stnts every time it rains.
 Now that Schmeling has been guaranteed shot at Louis and the heavyweight title 1t will be inter- esting to observe next year, when the German starts training, if the things he said about Joe after the Farr fight come back to haunt him.
 It will be remembered that Max, interviewed after the recent fight, said many uncomplimentary things about the champion. He said he had hit the skids; that his punch was gone; that he was gun shy and afraid, and that he (Schmeling) could knock him out six times wek with the greatest of ease. If these words are dug up next June, 1t will be very embarrassing to the pub- licity drum-beaters. It is not easy to build up the tremendous interest necessary to make a million dollar gate when, by one of the principals own admission, his opponent is e palooka of the most round -heeled sort.
 Schmeling will need more tact than he has shown to date to make those words forgotten.

.SCHMELINC GETS TITLE CHANGE
 AGAINST LOUIS
Jacobs to Promote Bout Next June-Gern1arl
 Elated, to Get 2O%

New York, Sept. 4-(UP)-Former champion Max Schmefing of Ger many sails for home tonight with 9 contract to fight Joe Louis for the heavyweight title somewhere in the United States" next June.
 Maxie had to reduce his demands from 30 per cent of the gate to 20 per cent to get promoter Mike jac- obs to make the match, but he eX- plained, T want the title more than I want the money" Louis will get hte usual champions share of 37 1-2 per cent.
 Schmeling had to sign himself over to Jacobs until September 1889, agreeing (if he defeated Louis again) to defend the title in Sep- tember, 1888, against the winner of a heavyweight elimination tourna- ment announced this week.
 The contract was signed after five and half hours of arguing. Max had his own corps of lawyers, aud secured a document which he be- lieves mare likely to stand up than the three contracts he had with Madison Square Garden to fight Jimmy Braddock. Louis was not there to sign, but his manager. Julian Black, agreed.
 The following provisos were in- cluded.
 Schmeling may engage in one tuneup match either in Germany or the United States, but in the case of the former he is not permitted to meet Tommy Farr, Bob Pastor, Jim Braddock or either Maxie Baer or Buddy Baer. ..... .s
 Louis is not bound to refrain from exhibition or title matches, but if he should lose his title, Jacobs agrees that Schmeling will meet the new champion next June and will receive 35 per cent of the gate in- stead of the 20 he will get for fac- ing Louis.

HEAT STOPS TWO
 STARSATFOREST HILLS TOURNEY
Henkel, German YOungster
 Out-DOrOthy Andrus Beats Champ
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff C0rreSp0ndent)
 Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 4-(UP) Brilliant tennis by supposedly set- up opponents and terrific heat wor- ried the stars today as the national siccc,cs championships entered the third day of competition.
 Only 16 of the "A domestic and foreign seeded players remained in the running today.
 Seven seeded stars, including two of the brightest, were eliminated yesterday. The two major players Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Cam bridge, Mass, Americas third best woman player and Henner Henkel of Germany - who were eliminated both attributed defeat to a boiling sun that reached 103 degrees.
 Uncomfortable
 Other stars who continued in the running-including Don Budge of Oakland, Cal, Baron Gottfried von Cramm, of Germany-seemed af- fected by the heat. Most of them played listless tennis.
 Henkel, seeded number on the foreign list and U. s. doubles cham pion with von Cramm, was defeated yesterday by Martin Buxby of Mi- ami, 5-7, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Mrs. Fabyan, who also was eliminated in the first round last year, was defeated 12-10, 0-6, 7-5, by Mrs. Dorothy Andrus, New York veteran. Henkel said that he had lost IS pounds since arriv- ing in the United States about two weeks ago; that he couldn't sleep because of the heat.
 Other seeded stars who were beaten were Helen Pedersen, Stam- ford Conn, number on the U. S list and Mime. Sulvia Henrotin, of France, sixth on the foreign list.
 Sixteen men and 16 women in the lower half of the draws will play their third and second round matches today. Most of the matches should be set-ups for the stars but considering yesterdays havoc, none dared take 1t easy.
 More Matches
 Bobby Riggs, Los Angeles, No. on the American list, meets William Robertson of Los Angeles, and Won Cramm plays Don McNeill of Okla homa City in the feature mems matches.
 Alice Marble of San Francisco defending champion who had day of rest yesterday, met Catherine Wolf of Elkart, Ind, and Anita Lizana, Chilean star, played Eliz- abeth Blackman of Detroit.
 Budge, Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, of Poland, favorite to win the crown from Miss Marble, and Helen Ja- cobs of Berkeley, Cal, four times champion, were idle today, but scheduled for tomorrow.
