CHAPTER XIV

T hate inquests," Mary Frank lin told Tuckie Thompson, as the two waited in the Medical Exam iner'S ofiice next morning.
 Mary, in dark street clothes, looked self-contained, but Tuckie, as usual, was an animated bird of paradise.
 'sIt's an adventure she chirped, ''like summing or something -" Her voice trailed oil aimlessly as Thomas Robinson walked in. He bowed slightly as he saw Tuckie, then shock hands gravely with Mary.
 yoa're good reporter, Miss Franklin. l recall your interest in Miss French at the Dove, when Jim Shirley and asked you to join Us. You must have sensed this tragedy"
 The story has just begun,' Mary said.
 Mike, the policeman, numbered in, his heavy shoes creaking self consciously. After him came Marie, Janice's maid, then Mrs. Meadows, and Jim Chase, the detective. Dr. Morris, the medical examiner, hur- ried in last. He bowed to the group clustered about his desk, sat down, thlmbed a few papers and adjusted his pince-nez glasses.
 'This will be very informal hearing he began. T want to prove the cause of the death of Janice French, the corpus delecti. We must establish the fact that such a person as Janice French existed. Dr. Bateman, were you present when 8 daughter was born to MT. and Mrs. Edward French?"
 And, as Dr. Bateman finished his testimony, Next, Mrs. Finlay Draper"
 A tall, fashionably dressed wo- man inclined her head. "Yes, pr. Morris"
 Mrs. Draper. what is your pro- fession?"
 T own the Draper Finishing School at Aiken"
 Did you ever hear of Janice Frsnch?"
 "Dhe was student in my school from the time she was eight until she was seventeen"
 Mary and the other reporters scribbled furiously.
 Thank you, Mrs. Draper. be-

marked. T hope your memory will not fail you. Did you see Miss French at MT. Martins night club that evening?"
 "r did, sir." Tuckies voice squeaked in its eagerness.
 DO you deny the statements of these two women, Martini"
 "No, Commissioner"
 Fenelon scrawled a note to the medical examiner. "Give the cause as drowning and call the case closed"
 Death by drowning" an- nounced the medical examiner. I'm satisfied to dismiss the case"
 Mary was puzzled. "What did you stop for, Commissioner" she asked as they were walking out.
 During the war, Miss Franklin, when my regiment succeeded in making the enemy believe 1t was retreating in one direction, I sent up smoke screen and picked the nearest short cut to attack at an- other point"
 Well that's all there is to that" commented Nick as he climbed into the Duke'es car. "Fenelon is lousy police commissioner"
 I'm not so sure" said Martin.
 What's eatin' you now?"
 That post-mortem carving"
 Well, what about it?"
 "I'd like to know if anything else showed up in the autopsy"

STORIES IN STAMPS
Borneo-Where Deoth Tags Every Step

THE jungles of Borneo are at
 A once the terror and the fasci- nation of myriad explorers. Death in a thousand forms shadows every step of the traveller but there is incredible scenery and fantastic wild life to compensate for the danger.
 Rare orchids and nepenthes grow abundantly; giant creepers with strange exotic flowers wind themselves about the trunks of towering trees; there are ferns and other plants in hundreds of varieties. So the Borneo jungle is plant hunters paradise.
 The animal life is something else again, despite the fact that it offers some rare species. An ex- plorer can scarcely move without touching death in some form. The journal of one traveller related en- counters in single day with a poisonous lizard, an enormous crocodile, a snake whose bite brings death within 20 minutes, a swarm of poisonous red ants, and swarm of bees.
 Nor is this the whole story, for the head hunters of Borneo are perhaps the greatest threat of all. These are the fierce aborigines, the Dyaks. The Dyaks are amen- able to law and order as a rule but taking heads is an age-old custom and they think no more about it than carving a dart for one of their poisonous arrows. Fortunately for the white man, however, the Dyaks do rot place great value on his pale skin.
 A stamp of British North Bor- neo is shown above, one of a set. It shows the colorful cockatoo bird of the Borneo jungles.
