over-emphasis ON rich foods on
special occasions may easily re-
suit in digestive disturbance, un-
less great care is taken to avoid
dietetic indiscretions, and to
maintain always the ideal Of a
balanced ration.
Child's Diet Especially Important
During the dark days of Decem-
Der, the children's diet requires
extra thought and care. Too close
confinement indoors and the lack
of sunshine may easily have an
adverse effect upon the temper
and vitality of young children.
Then, too, the excitement Of an
ticipating Christmas is bound to
add to their general fatigue.
Children seldom complain of ia
tigue, which makes it all the more
necessary for mothers to be on
guard against, or to look for, the
first intimation that it may exist.
A child who is tired is very apt to
be irritable. More than likely his
appetite will be poor, and when
he does eat, he may not be able
to care properly for the food he
takes. You may find, if you al
low him to become overtired or
feed him unaccustomed foods,
that it will be a struggle to get
him to bed, and even then he may
not sleep soundly. And it is gen.
orally recognized that disturbed
sleep, plus unwise eating, may
have most unfortunate conse-
quences.

ship unpside-down in his desire for
excitement. He was the man who
plundered right and left disguised in
priestIy vestments.
zone day l almost spoiled all my
plans. I had hidden myself in the
fake priests cabin behind a large
trunk in order to find out for certain
that the Consul and the supposed
priest were the same persons. In my
hurry l did not notice that one of my
feet protruded beyond the trunk. He
entered the room. My heart sank

without noticing it.
81 followed him hurriedly and saw
him hiding in the next cabin . He want

just a common burglar. Something
told me that he often watched me thru
the keyhole.
"I knew that if 1 continued to play
the role of burglar 1 had chance to
live, whereas, if 1 let him see that
Axel Svendrup was a detective, he
would kill me instantly. So every
day, 1 stole from him what he had
stolen from the passengers earlier in

knowing well that the tricky Traer
would find them there. Also 1 knew
that he had read the diary of the
Major.
Remember when the fake priest
stole money from the mixer in the
bar, under the very eyes of the pas
sengers? Young searched him, he
made every effort to do so thoroughly
he even took off his shoes and socks,
but what the ship detective failed to
do was to look in the false soles of
the shoes. If Young had, he might
have found the bills there.
'Then the priest played his trump

then made a simpleton out of the

ing back.
The Captain collared him, and
shook him back and forth in rage.
"Man, where did you get the whis-
key? You reek of it," roared the
skipper and hurled the sailor against
the railing.
"Turn the searchlight on the sea!''
yelled the Captain, repeating his COM
mand.
"earchlight's on the sea, sir" came
the reply from above and we saw long
white streaks sweeping the ocean in
every direction. The beams moved
from north to south, from east to west
and then back again north. But only
water, foam and spray was to be seen.
Life Board No. 7 had been swallowed

Miss Traer was the victim of another
attempt at murder by the Consul.
"Of course l realize now that
should have taken her more into my
confidence and told her about AXel
Svendrup because, the night that
kept watch in the strong room, | could
not play the part of the Major and be
in my cabin at the call of Miss Traer.
1t seems that she sent for me a num-
ber of times and became alarmed when
she received no word from me. Nat
er held life cheaply; probably she
feared for my safety.
"The next morning after a tortured
sleep, she saw Axel Svendrup on the
promenade deck. She knew him only
as her fathers accomplice who, she
thought, had attempted to assist in
her murder.
"When I begged her to let me tell
her something, she refused in a way
that convinced me she was serious
about my arrest. There are some
things that Miss Traer does not like
jokes about. 1 knew that she consid-
cred this the simplest way to put an
end to this persecution by her fos-
ter-father. She would accept the news
paper story about her fathers death
ch
Svendrup arrested as the murderer.
1t was very simple. Then she would
have one less enemy.
"When 1 was arrested, naturally
another person disappeared-the Brit
ish Major. This of course created a
sensation on board. Then l escaped
and appeared on deck as the Major.
1 had greatly feared that, during the
absence of the Major, the Consul
would again terrorize his daughter
However, my fears were groundless.
Nothing happened"
"But how could the Consul disap-
pear so completely ?" queried the Cap
tain.
Because he had so many disguises.
He probably had taken passage under
other names,-just as had. He had
other cabins and then he must have a
number of helpers on board"
I had scarcely finished my SEN
tence when Young, followed by the
First Mate, burst into the Cabin. Miss
Traer reached for my hand in fear.
The ships detective tried to speak but
his voice failed. Then the Mate re-
ported to us that Consul Traer had
escaped from the ships prison.
We ran on deck. The Captain sum-
moned his sailors and ordered the ship
searched. I merely laughed. How

"Miss Traer said she would moi

red to leave the country. She begged
me to accompany her to South Amer

she believed she could live in safety

my secret plans.
Convinced that the Consul would
not let his foster-daughter out of his
sight. I was also sure that he knew
his daughter had consulted me. I did
not doubt for a second that Traer
would engage passage on this steamer
as soon as he found out that we were
to be passengers. If I had gone. on
board before the Imperia sailed, then
the Consul would have known it and
would have understood just why and
wherefore, and he would have also
come aboard and watched me through
out the whole trip. This I wanted to
avoid. So I tookpassage twice-once
as the artist Axel Svendrup, and the
second time I boarded the ship as
Major O'Lonnor, the companion of
Miss Traer.
"Miss Traer knew me only as Ma
jor O'Lonnor and as a detective. The
Consul, however, knew the Major as
a detective and he knew Axel Sven
drup as the burglar from that near
tragic night. That Axel Svendrup
and the Major were one and the same
person, he did not know. So I play
ed double role-a major and an ar
tist. In order to fool the Consul, I
kept diary as a major and a detec-
tive, which showed that I was follow

made no mention of the Consul. I act
