to make the old Hollywood the most
kidded community and business in
the world. From humble begin
nings, Charlie suddenly came into a.
vast fortune and built one OF those
marble show places In the hills.
Fabulous parties were his forte, but
he knew not how to stage them. He
got his advice from some Of the
wags and soon his exploits were the
talk OF the country. Perfumes were
released from hidden jets In the
place, rose leaves drifted through
the scented air. champagne flowed
like business. talk and the wash
bowl faucets were of 14-karat gold.
The tonneau of the Ray Limousine
was trimmed in gold and on cold
evenings q rug of ermine covered
his knees. Tales of Rays pitiful
efforts to be splendid would fill q
couple OF volumes One time he
imported an English butler and
chen fired the man because he re-

nouncing breakfast guests. as the
master demanded. This was just
before Charlie took to producing his
own films. Then the deluge. Ray
wound up his career as an etxra,
dying couple of years ago with not
cent to show.
Then Came Sanity.

lassies in top-salary brackets found
themselves so far behind in theil
] taxes that they were never able tc
catch up. The business managers
began putting their stars on "allow-

about how little your manager gave

very worst, 1t was an excuse for a
star not throwing his dough around

learned that stars haunt expensive

With the war came the craze for
younger stars. Many in the teen
age class. Literature about bobby
soxers flooded the stands and pro-
ducers reached into classrooms for
types to make their films take en-
actuality. Dozens OF, these very sane
youngsters have begun to feel

Threat of a Storm
Forces Tucu's Hand

''If she don't know where It is,

Captain Bedford, of course. He
hid it in one Of his crazy moments.

fore that, but now she doesn't know
any more than you do. Her fathers

ulated Tucu, eyeing his prisoner

The other growled savagely, and
made no reply. After while, he
asked: whats this new deal y'had
in mind? Spit it out"

replied Dick slowly. ''If you prom

those smuggled jewels look like
cheap limitations"

thought I could get away with it.
That's why / didn't want you to

"Y'wanted to get the treasure an

Wasn't any harm in that, was
there?" laughed Dick. "You'd do
as much if you had the chance" I"
"Reckon I got 'em," leered the
other.
"No," slowly, "you haven't.
You've got the girl. but you haven't
got the treasure"
"Reck'n one goes with the other.

boldly, "for she doesn't know where

him, an his daughter amt said
nothin' to ye."
Dick was puzzled and mystified.
He shook his head finally. "I don't
know what you're talking about. If
there's any treasure on the schoon-
er, I don't know of it."
Tucu was unconvinced. "Y'lay
there an think about it. Mebbe VII
remember, or we'll find it."
When he walked away in the
gloom, Dick had ample opportunity
to reflect. There came to his mind
vague remembrance that in his
crazy chatter Captain Bedford had
made reference to prize-a treas
ure-he had found.
If Tucu believed there was any
treasure hidden on the schooner,
he would search for it, spend days
overhauling every part of the craft.
This would cause further delay, and
time was precious. Any hour or day
a ship might cross their path, and
he might not be able to signal for
help.
He concluded finally to favor the
idea that there was something of
value aboard, and that Captain Bed
ford had hidden it. By pretending
that he and Rose knew of its exist
ence, but couldn't locate it, they
would gain time. With two treas
ures dangled before Tucu's eyes
there was a possibility of eventually
finding way out of their troubles.
When Tucu appeared a few hours
later, with the first streaks of dawn
breaking in the east, Dicks mind
was made up. He met the eyes of
the old renegade with look of COM
pliance.
"Tucu," he said, you've got me
in your power, and there's no use

eyes, to gain time" he contin-
ued. "While he's looking for the
treasure we may plan some way Of
escape. Tucu won't leave until he's
searched every part of the schoon-
er, and that will take a day or two"
She was quiet moment, her
eyes vaguely restless and uncer-
tain. Dick had the impression that
she was worried.
"Why does Captain Tucu think
there's any treasure on the schoon-
err" she asked slowly.
Dick chuckled. From the raw
ings of your father. He heard him
chatter about the prize he'd picked
up"
"And do you think there's any?"
she added.
Dick was on the point of answer
ing negatively when queer express
sion in her eyes arrested him. He
glanced soberly at her, and then in
stead of putting in denial he coun-
tered with the question:
"Do you? Is there any treasure
on board?
She remained noncommittal,
glancing from him to the two stall
wart Caribs, whose sleepy eyes in
dicated no interest in the conversa-
ton. Dick became suddenly dis
turbed in mind. If there was any
particular sum of money or gold or
anything else of special value, ne
had not improved matters by telling
Captain Tucu he would help him in
the search for it. In fact, he felt
that he had complicated the situa-
ton. From the accusing eyes OF
the girl, he began to feel guilty
of having betrayed secret.
ST didn't know there was any
thing, Rose" he said penitently. Il
supposed your fathers chatter was
all moonshine. I'm sorry if I've

Cenealogies of the Chinese
Go Back to Ancient Time

Some of the oldest records in
the world today are genealogies Of
the Chinese, who for numerous
centuries have supplemented the
history of their ancestors with
facts about their own families and
passed on the documents to their
descendants, says Golfers.
One of these genealogies, pub
lished in 1885 and now preserved
in the United States, covers 81
generations of a family that origi-

CHAPTER v

Dick walked slowly forward
again, keeping more watchful eye
in the direction Of the lugger, and
listening for any strange sound. The
lugger was invisible in the gloom,
and he knew the Caribs would creep
upon them without detection until
within few yards of the schooner.
The danger of surprise was grow
ing with every minute.
Four times he made his circuit
and met Rose, who reported every
thing quiet and peaceful aft. Then
on the fifth round, he was delayed
a little by a noise in the water that
sounded suspicious. He waited to
verify it, and then resumed his walk
more hurriedly.
When he reached their meeting
point, she was not in sight. He
waited impatiently for her, but
when she did not appear he grew
anxious. There was chance that
his own delay had caused the trou-
BILE. She had not waited for him.
Unwilling to 60 back until assured
of her safety, he fingered until she
appeared nearly ten minutes later.
81 missed you," he exclaimed in
a whisper, "and couldn't go back
until I was sure"
"You shouldn't have done that, "
she frowned. Something may have
happened forward while you were
here"
"I'll hurry back" he replied in re-
lief. "But wait for me on the next
trip. I must know you're safe"
She nodded, and Dick hurried to
make up for lost time. In his haste
he was careless and tripped along
with more speed than caution. He
was till thinking Of the girl when a
black shadow rose up to confront
him. Startled, and not sure that
it wasn't an optical illusion, he
paused instead of raising his gun to
fire an alarm.
That momentary hesitation was
his misfortune. By the time he
was convinced a burly Carib was
facing him on the deck of the
schooner, two other dark forms had
sprung out of the gloom back of
him. Dick raised his gun to shoot,
but hand knocked it upward, while
one of the long, powerful, hairy
arms of Black Burley encircled his
neck and crushed the wind out of
him.
When Dick recovered, and his
wits returned to him, the Caribs
were in full possession of the
schooner. He needed no further
verification of this than his own
helpless condition. Trussed up Sc
curely, he was lying on his back,
with his face turned up to the moon
less sky. Storm clouds were sour
rying over his head, and the treach-
erous moon was still invisible.

They come upon drifting schooner,

Rose turns them back with her auto
