The inspector looked Jaspar over with satisfied smile of rec ognition and favored Christine with glance that was far from friendly. Then he turned to uni- formed man.
 Take this girl home," he di- rected, indicating the buffers weeping niece; land see that she stays there till further notice"
 He swung upon Christine.
 Some of these days, Miss Thor enson," he said coldly, you'll learn that, when murders in- volved it pays to tell the whole truth"
 Wait minute, Inspectorl" Bills voice cracked. T told you that Miss Thorenson hadn't any idea where she was coming to- night, or whom she was going to find And sweet chase you've led mel" he swung on Christine. If Wilmet, here, hadn't happened to see you following that girl, don't know how we'd have run you down. It was pure luck-his recognizing her when she came back along the Boardwalk"
 Christine, out of that day of sickening anxiety about Bill, rec- ognized his bruskness for what it was-the nervous explosion of one worried beyond endurance. The knowledge that her safety meant so much to him brought a glow of happiness so warm that she almost forgot the danger that hung over both of them.
 Inspector Parsons had turned to Chandra.
 T was on my way here when Yardley burst in about Miss Thor enson's disappearance" he said So you do cut in on this after all2"
 T thought you'd work around to that idea, Inspector"
 The clairvoyant's voice was cool; but his tawny eyes were watchful.
 When talked to you this morning." the detective went on that dagger looked like a delib- erately planted clew-and a pretty stupid one. I didn't know then about your talk with Miss Thoren- son last night Interesting that you should have known that Mrs. Talbert's bonds had been stolen - and where they were And I didn't know" he added very slowly, that on the night Mrs. Talbert disappeared, she was last seen going into your Broadway studio" (TO Be C0ntinued)

CHAPTER XIV

T don't believe it!" Christine cried hotly. T don't believe that my cousin ever went to a fortune teller in her life. She was too"
 "Too sensible, you mean? am sorry to disillusion you; but Mrs. Talbert has been one of my best clients for years"
 And I let you make me prom ise not to warn the police!"
 Christine swung on the girl.
 "Please!" the girl spoke swiftly. T brought you here because there are things you must know that only my uncle can tell you And this is the only place in Surf City where he is safe from the police"
 Then a door opened and another person came quickly from an ad- joining room.
 Christine cried on a caught breath, "Jaspar!"
 But this wasn't the caricature of Jaspar she had seen last night. This was the same immaculate, decorous Jaspar she remembered moving smoothly about his duties at Cousin Emma's.
 Miss Christine" he began re- spectfully, T had almost given up hope of speaking with you until you called my niece as I told her to ask you the other night to do."
 He turned anxiously to the girl.
 You'd better hurry home, Lu- cillle," he told her in an undertone.
 The girl nodded, and slipped obediently out of the room.
 There wasn't any chance" Jas par went on, "even after I saw that you had recognized me, Miss Christine That is - you did recognize me, didn't you?"
 "Oh, yes," Christine told him. T recognized you all right"
 For a moment Christine stood speeches., her thoughts scattered ike leaves in wind.
 Apparently the butler was here under Chandra's protection - trusted confederate. Yet if the clairvoyant had learned about those bonds from Jaspar, why had he tried to warn her? Or SUD- posing he had really wanted to warn her, why hadn't he given her the information plainly, in words of one syllable, without all that theatrical clap-trap? Unless, perhaps, he had some reason for distrusting the butler, and wanted k- I. himself Unless he had some reason for suspecting that Jaspar was involved in Cousin Emma's death.
 But when she had talked with Chandra, Cousin Emma was still a'ive-at least, her death was not public knowledge.
 No, it's too thin, Christine

U. s. Merchont Marine Bids for Seq Glory

EIGHTY years ago the Ameri- can Merchant Marine was the best in the world. Fleet Clipper ships set amazing speed records for sailing vessels, dominated ocean commerce. The American built Savannah, in 1919, was the first steam-powered ship to cross the Atlantic.
 The Civil War, the development of western railroads and west ward emigration turned American thoughts from the sea and a gen. eration after the Civil War scarce ly 10 per cent of U. S. commerce was borne in American ships.
 Today American ships carry a third of the nations foreign com- merce, but the merchant fleet is obsolete. In total tonnage, United States ranks fourth among world powers, behind Britain, Japan and Germany, slightly ahead of Italy and France. In new vessels -10 years old and less-United States ranks last.
 The launching of the new super safe liner America, on Aug. 31, marks the return to glory of the American Merchant Marine. This vessel, the first of 500 in a 10-year program, is the biggest steamer ever built in United States and the safest ship ever constructed. Every means of safeguarding its 1219 passengers have been incorporated into the construction of the 723- foot, 26,000-ton ship.
 An American ocean liner is shown on the U. S. 10-cent stamp, enlarged above, brown and black, of the Pan-American series of 1901.

Can you use your porch on rainy
day? Is it comfortable when the
sun beats against its roof? If your
answer is hesitant, you will be in
terested in the porch shades which
can turn your open porch into a
real room for summer living.
The shades we have in mind are
made of wood Stats, thin and smooth
and woven together with strong
warp of a color harmonizing with
the colors of the Stats. They are
easily put up, for self-hanging
equipment comes with them, and
you just hook them up in the spring
and unhook them in the fall. Once
installed, you can roll them up part
way or all the way to insure COM
plete or partial privacy. With the
automatic roll holder you can ad-
just the shades to any level without
moving your chair. Just pull on
the cord does it.
One feature of these shades which
has made them a boon in places
where Americans, like mad dogs
and Englishmen, go out in the noon
day sum-" is the patented ventilator
top. These ventilators are woven
into the top of the shade, providing
an automatic escape for the hot air
which might otherwise collect on a
ded-all-around porch. The ven-
tolator keeps the air moving, so that
when any one comes in from the
street on hot day the difference in
temperature is refreshingly notice.
able.
The shades come in various colors
and combinations of colors. Dark
green is a favorite of long standing,
or green with cream alternating
Stats. In recent years white or ivory
has been runnerup. There are
light green, dark brown, brown and
tan, brown and mottled green and
two shades of gray made up in the
standard sizes. The colors are i'm
pervious to sun or rain-non-fading,
easily wiped clean.

Two precautions are urged by the
makers of these shades. First, don't
let them run against porch COL
umn or screen or drag across a
railing or parapet, for the warps
holding the Stats together will be
worn down. These shades are
equipped with cords which prevent
this destructive whipping. You
merely stretch them taught and at
tach them to the floor when the
shades are put up. then adjust them
as they stretch so they are always
taut. This holds the shade in place
Second, draw the shades up when
not in use, so they won't get soaked
regularly. If they should get wet,
however, let them dry out, full
length, before rolling them up.
The shades come in 10 sizes,
ranging from feet wide to IL feet
wide, with 7 or 7l2 foot drop.
Prices are anywhere from So to
$1335.
