SYNOPSIS Aboard the S.S. “Navarre," bound for New York. Michael Lani yard, reformed "Lone Wolf” and underworld celebrity, is reunited with his son whom he thought dead. The boy, “Maurice Parry,” has followed in the “Lone Wolf's” footsteps, but Lanyard hopes his son's interest in Fenno Crozier, lovely daughter of the wealthy Mrs. Fay Crozier, will prove a good influence. Maurice steals Mrs. Crozier's Habsburg emeralds. Lanyard retrieves them for Fay. Detective Crane warns Lanyard to watch out for the vengeance of “Jack Knife” Anderson and "English Archie,” two gunmen whom Lanyard exposed for cheating Maurice at cards. Shortly afterwards, the gangsters steal Mrs. Crozier's emeralds and plant them in Lanyard’s cabin. Maurice saves his father by substituting imitations and secretly placing the emeralds in the purser’s care for Fay. Notwithstanding Lanyard's innocence, Detective Pion is suspicious of him. Later, when one of “Jack Knife’s” accomplices tries to intimidate Lanyard into stealing the emeralds and splitting fifty-fifty with the gang. Maurice appears on the scene, masked. He knocks the gangster unconscious, planting a: string of pearls stolen from the no- I torious gold-digger, Tess Boyce, | in the thug’s pocket. Tess, in gratitude to Maurice for catching the thief, gives a dinner in his honor. ’ Lanyard disapproves of the society of Tess Boyce for his son, but ( Fenno asks him to leave Maurice to her. Discussing the Boyce robbery, Pion informs Lanyard that the prisoner swore Lanyard and Maurice planted the necklace on him M. Isquith, Tess' companion, compliments her on her progress with Maurice and Lanyard, adding that “they will have them where they want them.” Crane is suspicious of Tess' interest in Maurice. He surmises the truth about the Boyce robbery. Crane overhears Tess tel’ Maurice that Lanyard's reform was just elocution. The detective warns Lanyard to keep ( his son away from her. Fearing another attempt will be made to steal the emeralds. Lanyard advises Fay to arrange for their protection ( when the boat docks. J c CHAPTER XXIII. f “But I supposed—of course!— 1 that the Boyce burglar was the ' same one who had robbed me, and ■ once he was arrested, that was the end of that.” J “He was in all likelihood a simple I cat’s-paw for the brains that 1 ' planned the business.

"What do you i advise?” 1 “Instruct M. Crozier by wireless to have some safe-deposit company j meet the Navarre with an armored , car, take charge of the emeralds j and store them in its vaults till you wish to wear them.” . “What a head!” Fay Crozier rj-ied, beaming. “What a master ( crime lost when the Lone Vv olf re- , tired on his honors!” “Then you will—” “I bet you my life.” "I am most happy to believe it.” 1 With this Lanyard rose: Fenno, 1 all aglow, if only from walking. 1 and somewhat prettier than he had 1 I ever seen her, was approaching 1 with Maurice—who, it wasn’t pos- ' i sible to overlook, likewi e wore a 1 deeply contented expression. “So there you are!” Fay Crozier snapped. “I should think you'd be ashamed to come back from exercising looking like that, and putting your poor old mother in the wrong.

The pilot says there’s room for two passengers. I should simply adore the experience—" "Should you?” Fay asked in an absent-minded voice. “Wouldn’t you, Mother? Why not?

They wanted me to give them their re- 1 venge—the cards ran large for me last night, but I had to beg off for i this afternoon because I’m giving i Feimo luncheon.” “In that event,” —Lanyard, with i a lightened heart, gave his shoul- ; ders a whimsical lift, —“how can I i refuse?” i “My dear Lanyard!” Fay Crozier remonstrated. “After all! Os course, we mustn’t judge Maurice i harshly, he's so young and inxperienced; but you are a man of the world—you owe your self-respect something.” “Ah, but seriously, madame: seeing that it’s the honor of family, in a sense, that my son won heavily last night—" “And that you’re an incurable card-hound, and a bid to a bridgeparty to you is the same as smoke of battle to an old war-horse—all the same. I must say I don’t just see you slumming!” Lanyard on his part perceived, at the outset of that afternoon at cards, no reason to repent his readiness to substitute for Maurice. Not only was he glad to think—what, recalling the light in Fenno’s eyes that morning, the shine of his son’s, he could hardly be blamed for believing—that the girl was making famous progress in her campaign to "save’’ Maurice, but his old infatuation with the game quickened to the discovery that he was pitting his skill against cardsmen worthy of his metal. Os the four, Tess Boyce was the poorest player, although by no means to be despised, whether as partner or antagonist. Isquith, preserving his patrician pose whether winning or losing, played with a cool-headed precision rarely met with outside the ranks of experts; in all the sitting Lanyard failed to see him fumble once or make a sin-

gle misplay. The Rajah of Ladors, in whose suite the game was staged, had manifestly studied under the British masters till they had no more to teach him: only in respect of bidding was his game secondrate. There the others had him at a definite disadvantage. The Boyce and Isquith were adept in the American technique, and Lanyard no less, thanks to the native cardsense which had enabled him to grasp at a glance its superiority to the methods in vogue all over Europe; while the Rajah was handicapped by acquaintance only with the bidding practice of the British, I still, in that day, owing to their re-

luctant swing from auction to con- i tract, at a stage of retarded development. But the best of cardsmen could have made little of the hands the Rajah held. The ill run of luck | that had been his the night before, ; today stood by him. Lanyard soon | grew reconciled to the prospect of losing a rubber when the cut for | partners gave him the Rajah. His own cards were nothing to crow about, even though strong enough, for all that, to enable him to hold his own and now and then score a gain. He was playing for the least stake at the table, a quarter a point. The others, making theirs half a dollar a point at the outset, and carrying Lanyard, when they cut him, for the extra quarter, doubled their stakes at the Rajah's suggestion when he had lost his third rubber and, again at his suggestion, toward the end of the sitting, jumped to two dollars a point. Like many of his race, a passionate gambler, he was a poor loser. At first morose, he grew sullen, and toward the end angry Many thousands down and still holding wretohed cards, he cut for the last rubber in a temper that lent the atmosphere a tension distinctly unpleasant. “I wfll make you a sporting offer, madame,” he said to Tess Boyce, who was Lanyard’s partner, while she was dealing th^ 1 first round: “a pound a point—l should say, five dollars,” “Not this baby!” Tess shook her flame-colcred tresses, laughing. “I haven’t got the wealth of the Indies to back me. Tell you what I will de, though.” She dealt the last card, and signed to the others to put off picking up their hands. “I’m mad about that stone.” An enameled fingernail tapped a pigeon-blood ruby on the dark, small, royal hand. “I’ll play you for that. What do you say? I’ll bet everything you have lost today, to me, to Mr. Isquith and to M. Lanyard too, against that ring.” (To Be Continued)

The blonde Universal star donned her bathing suit I Friday after- | noon and went I out to lie on a I blanket on the | hack lawn of her ’ Whitley Heights home. She read a s magazine for a I while, but the light was so bright that she grew drowsy, dropped off to sleep for sever a 1 minutes.

qEMBT; i 1 I Gloria Stuart

She doesn't know what awakened her. Perhaps it was some sixth ' sense. At any rate, she opened her eyes and turned on her side. There, within a few feet, was a ' rattlesnake, already set in its coil. The scream Gloria gave would have cracked a microphone. It brought her police dog bounding to her side. The animal attacked the snake and, miraculously, killed it without being bitten. Gloria was so unnerved that she packed and left within a few hours for her summer cottage on Morro bay. The good-humored wit of Princess Kropotkin left Charles Farrell standing on one foot without a word to say. Several days ago, the titled writer had a luncheon date with Charlie at the Fox studio. Prob- , ably it was a touch of Spring fever, ; but Charlie forgot the engagement and went down to the Riviera polo ■ field to look at some new ponies. By nine o'clock the next morning, I he was calling up with profuse apologies. The Princess said gently: “Oh, that's all right, Mr. Farrell, but ! you’re the first gentleman who ever missed a date with me to keep one with a horse.” I Two magazines already are bidi ding for the serial rights to Jean i Harlow’s novel, "Today Is Tonight.” The screen’s platinum blonde is now getting the story into shape for publication. She says she first got the idea in the middle of the night, and the inspiration was so strong that she got up and jotted down a full page of notes. The first draft of the novel was dictated to the star's secretary, then Jean wrote a 75.000 word outline herself Next, she broke it down into script form to get a better slant

on the dialogue. The final job of novelization is well under way. There will be no sensational rev- j i elations about Hollywood in "Today Is Tonight.” It is a story of New I York. Joan says: , “1 simply tried to create a girl I ; with an abundance of love, who weakens now and then, but who ' . clings to an ideal.” This business of get i ting temperamental about scanty i ■ costumes is getting to be an epi- ■ • deniic. Virginia Peine Lehman ; i started it when she walked out of a picture at Fox. Then, yesterday, ) Sidney was mysteriously missing from a test she was supposed , , to take for "Down to .Their La«t , Yacht." An hour later, the tiny , star showed up in tow of Billie Burke. The grass costume for the ! South Sea story had upset her so much that she had run crying to Billie for advice. Being a sensible I woman and the wife of the late ! Florenz Ziegfeld, Billie soon I changed Sidney's mind. The newly arrived Philip Barry

is more pub- „ licity shy than Garbo. Despite j the fact that he | is the author of “Holiday,” ! "Animal King- ! dom," “Tomor- ’ row and Tomor- ; row” and vari- i ous other hits, he pleads with reporters that ! I there is absolutely nothing about him ‘ worth printing. During the i
