.Detoctive Norwich, to visit the place
and find out what he can.

CHAPTER II.—They find the
place a veritable treasure house,
end Kearney recognizes Jewels
stolon from his aunt While in the
warehouse he picks up a notebook.
Soon after leaving Kearney Nor-
wich is murdered. Haig is puzzled
over cryptic notes in the book, re-
ferring to stops to be made by the
WaHaroo.
CHAPTER III.—Yu'an Hee See,
highborn Chinaman, whom Haig has
long been seeking as the leader of
a band of International thieves, is at
Jo Lung's. Discovering the loss of
his notebook, he sends two of his
followers after Norwich and Kear-
ney, one of whom he realizes must
have picked it up. Norwich's murder

taken. While Haig - is poring,'ove*

quarry waa in hiding there, he rec-
ognizing, the peculiar malignacy of
Tn'iD'i laugh.
CHAPTER V.—At Cairo Yu'an con-
fers with his lieutenant, Aswami
Pasha, known among the gang as
the •*ChIef,■• over a mysterious coup
they are planning. Haig goes to
..Marseilles, where he meets Eileen
when she goes ashore with a Doctor
Oestler. The Inspector boards the
Wallaroo, disguised. From radio
messages he decodes, he realizes
Oestler, with others on board, are
members of Yu'an's gang and that
they have recognized him.
CHAPTER VI.—A huge Chinaman
tries r.o throw Haig overboard but
foes over himself In a desperate
ftruggle, At Port Said Eileen dis-
CHAPTER VIL—Haig, trailing Ei-
leen and Doctor Oestler, is lured
Into a drug-impregnated "bath of
feathers," but he escapes from the
deadly trap and shoots Joseph, one
of the plotters. Eileen, who has

in an Arabian mansion, Yu'an's
headquarter, ^ f

UHa;?TER VIIL — Haig takes '
Joseph's paper*, and reports Eileen's
kidnap ng to the British consul.
Oestler and S£Isa Ednjim, ap accpnj-
plice, mysteriously disappear from
the Wallaroo and appear at Yu'an'9
headquarters in Arabia. It Is evident
as Yu'an and Aswami Pasha talk
that they Intend to capture or sink
the Wallaroo. Using Joseph's credett-
tials, Halg makes his way to Keneh,
Arabia.
CHAJPTER IX.—Dawson Halg be-
gins to perceive Yu'an's monstrous
plot, to seize the gold, but all his
thoughts are centered on the rescue
of Eileen. Impersonating Joseph, he
la assigned to guard duty outside
Yu'an's mansion. The girl sees him
from a window, and is heartened.
Haig also has seen her.
CHAPTER X.—Yu an and Aswami
Pasha lure the Wallaroo from her
conrse with a wireless appeal for
Ikid. Orange Blossom, Yu'an's Jealous
favoritu, suggests to Aswami that
Eileen be spirited away. He agrees
to co-operate with her in getting rid
of the girl. Next day, Aswami, from
a submarine, boards the Wallaroo,
and its helpless captain, to save his
passengers, is forced to surrender
the gold, which Is transhipped to the
submarine.
CHAITER XI.—The gold safely
on the submarine, Yu'an torpedoes
and sinks the Wallaroo, with, he
believed, all on board. From the
deck of the pirate submersible his
men, with rifles, pick off the rem-
aant ol! the passengers and crew
struggling In the water, and the
sharks complete the ghastly work,
but Jack Rattray, the Wallaroo's
first ofllcer, is providentially saved
from Instant death. Eileen Is taken
In a motor cruiser, bound for Keneh.
She fa conveyed to Hassan es-Suk'a
Cafe Ms.grabi In Keneh. Halg learns
thla ami takes up the trail again.
On his way to Keneh be rescues
Rattray, the only survivor of the
Wallaroo.
CHAPTER XII.—Yu'an discovers
Aswaml's treachery, with Eileen's
disappearance, and punlshea Aswami
and Orange Blossom In his ruthless
tashion. In the absence of Yu'an
and his chief aide, the submarine
crew decides to put to sea when the
Panther, a British battleship, is
sighted. Macllea, debauched Scottish
engineer in Yu'an's employ, la a
fit of ;remorse, overcome by the
Khastlimsss of ths wanton slaughter
of the bolpless survivors of the Wal-
laroo, deliberately puts the subma-
rine, wil.h Doctor Oestler, the gold,
and all on board, at the bottom of
the sea. Halg, happy with Eileen,
realises he has won high position
through his efforts in putting ao
end to Yu'an's operations, and his
future is assured—but he cannot
overcome the feeling that some-
where be still seems to hear the
appalllni: laughter of Yu'an Hee

CHAPTER I
OOD-BI, then, Eileen. And
vJT take great care of yourself.
I've probably missed the train and
everything—but I don't give a hoot.
Be sure to write from Marseilles
and cable when you get In. And
don't forget I'm coming out In
March."
The girl clung desperately to her
brother, her soft arms locked about
him. Matt Kearney could feel that
she was trembling, and:
"What's the matter with Kid Sis-
ter?" he asked, squeezing her.
"Kid Sister's miserable 1"
"Because you don't want to go
back?"
"No. But because somehow, Matt
dear," she whispered very close to
his ear, "1 feel frightened about
this journey. Don't be mad with
me. I know It's silly, and I ought
to be used to traveling by now.
But I've got a wobbly, funny feel-
ing."
Kearney looked down at the tan-
gled curls nestling upon his shoul-
der; and in the light shining out
from the cozy stateroom they
gleamed and shimmered like bur-
nished bronze. He hugged her af-
fectionately and told himself that
a chill suddenly experienced and
resembling cold water trickling
down his spine was due physically
to the clammy quality of the night,
and mentally to the girl's over-
wrought condition.
"Kid, dear," he said, and stroked
her hair, "play fair. Seeing little
girls off Is bad enough anyway,
without giving a fellow the breeze
up."
'Tin sorry, Matt It was utterly
Big Pig of me."
"No—only Little Pig," he said
playfully. "1 or y wish I were
coming with you."
"It wasn't fair, and I shouldn't
have said it It's just this beast-
ly fog and having to let you go
ashore In It Give me a kiss, Matt,
and we'll go and hunt Jack Rattray
—Although I really don't know how
you're going to get home."
Wisps of mist floated under the
lights. Not another soul was In sight
on that deck, but there was activity

**»« docltside, The
dous clamor on ...... —»
R. M. S. Wallaroo was going oui
the morning—sixteen hours late,
thanks to one of those fogs, London
Special, which sometimes hold up
Thames traffic for whole days.
One last lingering glance Kear-
ney cast Into the cozy stateroom
which Eileen was to occupy to
Colombo. He would cheerfully
have resigned six months1 pay (0

which he had labelled himself. §
green hat on the tack above the
bed, a camera hung on the back or
a chair, a dressing case Dpen on the
table. The box of a hundred ciga-
rettes which Dawson Haig had
brought down to the steamer that
morning lay on the turned-back
coverlet and a pile of magazines
on top of an unopened cabin trunk;
three novels which Matt had
brought for Eileen In the rack be-
side the green hat
"Ah, well!" he sighed, "you'll be
a comfortable Little Pig. Winter,
the purser, Is a star turn. You're
at his table, and he'll see that
everything's right Jack Rattray Is
an old pal, so that you won't lack
company."
"I sha'n't lack company," said
Eileen archly.
Her mood changed, and she
smiled mischievously. But Kear-
ney welcomed the change, and:
"You little devil!" he said, and
squeezed her hard. "Don't forget
there's a spy aboard."
"I might buy him over!" said
Eileen.
"I'll tell Billy Haig!"
"Oh, don't please do that!" Eileen
exclaimed In mock horror. "He
might never run out to Colombo to
have a cup of tea with me as he
promised!"
But really her heart was very
sad. Because she didn't expect
ever to see Dawson Haig again.
She made a charming figure in
the light streaming from the cabin
door, simply dressed though she
was in a Jumper and tweed skirt
And Matt Kearney felt affectionate-
ly proud of his dainty sister.
"Come on," said he. "Let's go
and dig old Rattray out I must
positively beat It I've got at least
a quarter of an hour's walk through
dockland, and falling divine luck,
a long voyage by motor bus."
Jack Rattray, chief officer of
the Wallaroo, was exchanging a
few pleasantries with the boss
stevedore by the hatch of Number
Three hold, but he brok^ off this
not too parliamentary debate when
the charming passenger appeared
beside him with Kearney.
"What about a final?" asked Rat
tray.
'No fii^ ll for me," Kearney re
plied. He grasped Kattray's hand
"Good-night, and all the best 1
know you'll look after her."
Rattray, tall, leisurely, taciturn
smiled his slim smile.
"Sure thing, Bo'!" said he.
"You're mocking me!" Eileer
cried, and punched the speaker fore
ibly in the ribs. "I don't have ar
accent like that. I speak better Eng
llsh than you' do, anyway!"
"You speak more English," Rat
tray drawled provokingly.
"Very Big Pig," said Eileen.
But Kearney left the ship in s
happier mood and experienced no
return of that unpleasant chill. Ei
leen was in good company, and the
voyage would pass like three days.
He picked his way through littei
on the dockside. Just under an art
he paused, turned, and looked back
Jack Rattray and Eileen wert
standing on the deck by the gang
way. He waved his hat and
shouted:
"Good-by until March, and good
luck!"
"Good-by, Matt," came the girl's
voice; and:
"Cheeri-ho, old boy."
That was Rattray.
The fascinating activity of thost
docks claimed Kearney. Here Easl
meets West: produce of the Spicc
Islands, tea of Ceylon, the timbers
of Burma, Jostle ironmongery from
Birmingham, lie cheek and Jowl
with chemical products of Silver-
town. At night, especially, undei
dockland floodlights, amid rivei
noises and the hoarse voices ol
workers, the mystery of the port ol
London, type of a vast and ever-
turning wheel of empire, touched
the poetry which was part of him.
He gave up his card to the po-
liceman on duty, and ten paces be
yond, looking back, could see mere
ly a dim blur, marking the site of
the box which that official occupied.
'If this d—n fog continues," he
reflected, "my prospects are indif-
ferent."
He stood there for a moment look-
ing about him and failing to notice a
man who, ten paces away, seemed
to be watchfog the dock gates—i
talUgft man • wearing a white rain-
coat, collar KP" a f>«
brown hat with the _ ® J[ .
down. But the other man had j
Kearney—and the sight of Kear- j
ney had set him dreatntng. Cofomb
a
only
faint odor suggestive of musk?—
suddenly brought Kearney an un-
accountable return of that sensa-
tion as though cold water trickled
down his spine. He stared into the
fog. Had some one passed him—
or had he imagined it?
He hated this sensation—as of an
indefinable dread — which twice,
now, had oppressed him.
A hand rested on his shoulder.
Kearney twisted about with a
cry. The man in the white raincoat
stood just behind him. And, stock
still, peering into the other's face:
"Good Lord!" Kearney exclaimed
joyfully, "it's Dawson Haig!"

Literary Club Makes
Award
The Schulenburg Literary Club
sponsored a prose, essay and short
story writing contest this year.
Students in the English Depart-
ment of the schools were allowed
to participate and due to the
classes studying prose at this time
poems were entered. Dr. Arm-
strong, of Baylor University,
graded the papers, and selected
the poem, "My Dog", for first
place. This poem was written by
Eugene Kahanek.
Virginia Herzik, Virgie Grass-
hoff and Sibyl DeBord won sec-
ond, third and fourth places, res-
pectively.
A selections of poems, entitled,
"Firehead", was awarded for first
place. The winning poem is pub-
lished below:
"MY DOG"
He is just my dog with four legs
and a tail,
Just a reckless vagabond out of
jail,
Just a lot of dog; no pedigree,
With all kinds of branches on his
family tree.
Eyes full of mischief, legs too
long,-
Makes your head ache when he
sings his song.
His legs are gawky, he has knock
knees,
Tears up slippers and harbors
fleas,
He is fond of wrestling with gloves
and hats \
Tears up flower beds and chases
cats.
Wild and wooly, likes to run away
Knocks you down when he wants
to play,
Sleeps all day and eats like a hog,
Absolutely worthless, but he's my
dog.

The above poem was composed
by Eugene A. Kahanek, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Anton Kahanek of
Swiss Alps, and a member of the
graduating class of the Schulen-
burg High School this year.

May 30, he was honorC.d n°t only

him by the Schulenburg Literary
Club as the first prize in the poe-

students of the Schulenburg High
School participated.
"Gene" has always been fond
of having pets, especially dogs,
therefore, he has been greatly in-
spired to collect knowledge of his
daily experience with dogs to com-
pose the above poem, which is a
very realistic form of poetry call-
ed the "sonnet".
Gene will soon say farewell to
his pets for he will depart from his
home the latter part of the sum-
mer to enter Draughon's Business
College in San Antonio where he
will take up a combined course and
prepare himself for the future
needs of life.
Besides other events, Gene has
also distinguished himself as an
athlete during his High School
days. His greatest ability was
shown in the javelin throw for
which he received ribbons for first
place in the County Meet at La
Grange, second place in the Dis-
trict Meet at La Grange, third
place in the Regional Meet at San
Marcos, and placed fifth in the
State Meet at Austin this year.
He also placed and received rib-
bons for the 200-yard low hurdle
and the one hundred yard dash in
the County Meet at La Grange.
The most treasured souvenirs he
received were a gold medal for
Track for 1935 and a lettered
sweater for football in his senior
year, because his senior year was
the only year he tried out as an
athlete, yet accomplishing the hon-
ors.
Successful Canning—
can be overcome by pre-heating
or precooking the product a few
minutes longer than the time given
in the recipe.
Oftentimes the jar is packed
too full and no space left for the
steam. They should be packed to
within one-fourth inch of the top.
For such products as peaches,
pears, plums, berries and beets,
pack the whole product to within
one-half inch of the top and fill
to one-fourth inch with the li-
quor or water.
The pressure gauge should re-
main the same temperature dur-
ing the entire processing period.
The steam is never allowed to ec-
cape through the safety valve or
petcock. The canner s set aside to
cool gradually until the pressure
gauge registers zero. If the cook-
er contains quart jars, it should
be allowed to stand from thirty to
forty minutes to allow the pres-
sure inside the jar to fall. Other-
wise the pressure inside my be
enough to burst the jars when the
cooker is opened.
Dark brown products usually
indicate over-cooking or under-
cooling. Purple products indicate
a combination of acid and pig-
ment reactiing with tin; not harm-
ful if flavor and odor good. Moldy
spots in the headspace usually
indicate breathers. The seal was
not tight enough to prevent air
entering the can. Not harmful if
flavor and odor good. Beans often
turn dai-k because of pigment in
the bean itself. This discolors the
pods and is especially noticeable
in some forms of wax beans. Flat
suors are caused by dela in put-
ting product in cans, delay after
cans are sealed and before they
ai*e placed in cooker, and failure
to cool promptly. Okra often turns
dark because it has been in con-
tact with iron knives or vessels,
or because it has come in contact
with the iron of the can when
rust has occured or the coat of tin
was too thin or faulty. Beets turn
white because they were of the
wrong variety, or there was too
great a change in temperature. Hot
liquid should be added to hot beets
and if they are cold, add cold li-
quid. Canning beets in plain tin
will also destroy the color. Peas
turn cloudy because they are not
blanched sufficiently, too old, sea-
soned with table salt, or because
of mineal in the water. White de-
posit in beets and pickles indicate
use of hard water or table salt.
Extreme acidity in tomatoes may
be caused by ripening in cool
weather, incipient spoilage, or con-
centi-ation of pulp by boiling down
for canning.

How Cardui Helps
Women To Build Up
Cardui stimulates the appetite and
improves digestion, helping women
to get more strength from the food
they eat As nourishment is im-
proved, strength is built up, certain
functional pains go away and wom-
en praise Cardui for helping them
back to good health. . . . Mrs. C. K
Ratllff, of Hinton, W. Va., writes:
"After the birth of my last baby, I
did not seem to get my strength
back. I took Cardui again and was
soon sound and well. I have given
it to my daughters and recommend
it to other ladies." . . . Thousands
of women testify Cardui benefited
them. If it doe6 not benefit YOU,
consult a physician.

.A.NYWAY you look at it, a man just can't feed his hogs straight
corn today and make money on them. Not when it takes an
average of 12 bushels of corn alone to produce IOO pounds of
pork. That makes the corn cost more than hogs are. worth!
But there's a cheaper and better way to build your hogs. Feed
Purina Pig and Hog Chow (Checkers or Meal) with your corn.
Five to six bushels of corn is all you'll need, with this low cost
supplement, to produce each IOO pounds of pork. That's the
proven average record from
hundreds of feedlots like yours.
Purina Pig and Hog Chow will get
your hogs ready for market in the
shortest possible feeding time, save
half your corn and double the selling
price of the corn you put through
your hogs. Start your pigs now on
this profitable pork-building sup-
plement. See us for Purina Pig and
