Tragedy Of the Ineos' Virgins

in search of this fabulous wealth
he ncclocts the plodding business
of earning an ordinary living and
puts his savings into the hunt
Worse than that he becomes tor
mented by an obsession that
every person who looks at him
Is stalking him TO demand "a
share or get there ahead of him
Dead men tell no tales" soon
becomes the motto of the treas
IRE hunters of the land as it
has always been of the pir-
ates. those treasure hunters
Of the sea. As soon as the treas
urc seeker experiences that feel
ing he is we'll on the way to the
Conquistador's frame of mind
and. though he finds nothing he
is no longer fitted for law
abiding workaday life.
If he is one of the rare few
who actually does find n hoard.
the unbalancing force of sudden
wealth seems TO complete his
ruin.

DEAD MANS PASSPORT

She was making a sign to the
tubby little Chinaman who
worked the handle of the hurdy-
gurdy. The noise of it slowed al
most TO a stop.
Chin Chan came up to Cabot,
crossed her hands on her breast.
and made a profound curtsy. Her
face was as solemn as a stone
image.
You brought Annesley here"
said Cabot
The girl answered in Chinese:
IF you are pleased. lord -
Il told you to keep away from
here" said Cabot Selling her
arm.
Forgive me- lord"
Cabot released his hold and
made a gesture that brought the
girl in from the street At the
threshold, she made a swift. deep
obeisance to the spirits of the
dead. Then she went past Cabot.
In the next room she paused, her
hands thrust into the opposite
sleeves OF her coat, her head
bowed a little.
GO over there" said Cabot.
She went over to the opposite
corner of the room. A hanging
lamp, set lightly asway by
draught. poured waves of light
and shadow over her.

1T was worth while. eh?"
Yes. IT was worth while. She
has plenty of money"
"A girl named Ruth" said
Cabot, ought to have a good
smile, not too much nose. d
freckle or two, and a fresh, clean
look"
That's the picture of her.
You've seen it,"
I'm glad that she's right out
of the book Who the devil is

He strobe off toward the house
with Manchu at his heels; Anne
sley. unlimited. followed at a lit
tie distance. II was a flimsy,
gay, cool little house. Cabot
opened the door on the street.
The hurdy-gurdy jumped its
music into the house like a rat
thing autumn wind
over the shoulder of Cabot,
Annesley saw Chin Chan. She
had found some mysterious way
of changing her clothes out there
in the open street. There were
earrings in her ears now and she
was CARRIED in silk like any Chi
nese girl. Her hair was drawn
back now so tight it lifted her
eyebrows a little. 1t was in a
knot at the nape of her neck
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-01-12

"When she moves and that silk
ripples." said Cabot. she looks
like a cat, doesn't she ?"
Annesley, again mysteriously
gifted with wisdom. held his
tongue. He kept remembering
that half an hour before he had
been like a little boy tagging at
the heels of a mysterious woman.
Now she was subdued utterly to
a new part. She kept her head
bowed and her eyes on the feet
of Cabot.
"She is a cat" said Cabot.
To the servant who waited just
inside the shadow of the next
room he gave ansorder for drinks
"Sit down." commanded Cabot
Annesley followed the example of
Cabot and squatted cross-legged
on a padded mat. There were no
chairs in the room. The girl
made another profound curtsy
and remained standing. Cabot
kept looking at her but he said
to Annesley: Now let's hear
about this business of yours"

ley. Il can put my business with
you in a nutshell, Gene. The fact
is
How polite should I be to
you ?"
Don't bother about politeness
Thanks | hate 70 bother.
But do l owe you anything ?"
No"
Then let's say goodnight and

There was enough moonlight to
show the scar as silver streak
high on the face of Gahpt Az
nesley looked at that
He could have made an clo-
quent speech but he was clever
enough TO know that eloquence
rarely got any place with Cabot
SO he said: I've got last chance
to go home and try to be white
man again. That's why l came

IT'S no good"

Why should a man act ike a

In his extremity Annesley
pulled from his pocket a letter
and took out the picture that

LIE TURNED his head from the
picture to say: What
that ," The hurdy-gurdy which
had been playing at distance
now opened in the next street
with a song popular in the States
a dozen years before. A girls
voice struck into the rafting
music afia- saHgg words Of Man

Soprano II began by telling
some unlucky girl that she might
be lovely she might be rare, but
the stars of Manhattan were not
caught in her hair
The song declared that holly

daisies are bright an lawn. but
higher and brighter the lights Of

Cabot stood up between the
two lanterns. the red from one
side and the yellow from the
other streaking his face with thin
gildings Of color. He was no
taller and not much more in the
beam than Annesley but. as
usual. Anneslcy felt insignificant
before him.
You're from New York. too,
aren't you ." asked Cabot
That's right"
There's no soil to grow in.
Life Is cut into apartment slices -
Anneslcy, for once, was wise
enough to say nothing.

said Cabot. makes the whole

WASHINGTON-The Navy has been making some careful studies of how to carry out Roosevelts promise of bridge of ships across the North Atlantic to carry sup plies to England. One result is a unique plans for anchoring flat bottomed scows or barges in mid- Atlantic to serve as refueling de- pots for airplanes.
 The plan is not yet perfected, and still awaits higher-up approval. But here are details of the revolu- tionary idea.
 British experience in the North Atlantic has shown that scout- ing-bombing planes are the most effective protection for merchant \ vessels. Planes can sight an under sea boat at far greater distance than a surface vessel, then drop depth bombs on it.
 Chief problem is the refueling oi these planes. Expensive aircraft car riers, requiring three years to build cannot be used as airplane bases in mid-Atlantic. They are too easy targets for submarines.
 However, the flat-bottomed scov does not have sufficient depth ir the water to be target for 2 submarine torpedo. The scow ha. a draft of only three feet, com. pared with a 30-foot draft by { cruiser, and 35 feet by an aircraft carrier.
 Furthermore, in the relativel, storm-free summer months, flat bottomed barges would experience little trouble from weather. The. would be subject to attack from thu air, but on the other hand eaci would be defended by it's owr scouting planes, and if it were sunl the cost of replacement would b' insignificant.
 Whether the barges and their az companying planes would be con
