Despite protests by Amelia Earhart Putnam, famous aviatnx, the senate voted to give the government strong authority over airmail operators. Miss Earhart appeared before a senate committee in Washington to urge that five more years be given "to carry on laboratqry experimentation” before strict regulatory measures are passed. The flyer expressed general approval of a bill by Senator McCarren (D.) of Nevada, but urged that its provisions imposing • franchise regulations ueou airlines be withheld.

CHAPTER XXIII To Karen, prophecies always meant something big, something dramatic. What inspiring or anpalling episode was to mark the climax now approaching? Was the stored-up wrath of the gods to fall upon her? Was she to be immolated in some dreadful, barbaric manner to attone for the sins of her forebears? Or was she to embody and make real the hopes of all these wretched wanderers? Had she better yield? Quit the ship at Gibralter like a good little girl and go home? Did she not owe enough to her father to spare him the anxiety of her peril? She forced herself to smile at this—perhaps there would be no alternative. For once in her life she had met • man who was wholly unmanageable. Tantrum or no tantrum. Captain Anderson would put her ashore, a miffed queen thrust into a bag like a rabbit! Karen was out on deck again when Captain Anderson came upon her like a blue and gold whirlwind. But he was grinning expansively and registering all the emotions of • man who had just heard the best news of his life. “Yau’re free to go on to Alexandria, Miss Sire!” he shouted. “Your father has changed his mind. I wired him that your temperament was interfering with the compass and making the barometer behave like a tube of liquid monkeys. He's arranged to take care of you at Alexandria.” It was fate! The prophecy was more potent than her father's will. Some hidden hand was guiding her destinies, Karen felt assured. » ♦ » Far back in the wake of “Karen Sire's family greyhound,” the AL banic was making her run across the Atlantic, gliding through glassy seas at maximum speed. Bannister and Toole were aboard, bent on overtaking and passing the Thessalonia. From a sheaf of newspapers bought at the pier they learned the latest developments in the murder of Prince Jura Bai. His own secretary had been placed under arrest on a homicide charge made by Police Captain Boyle. It seemed that the man could neither produce an alibi nor give any acceptable reason for going into hiding after the murder. He had been arrested (drunk) in a night club. Toole fairly roared at this. But there was another little item which did not make Toole laugh. It had no apparent association with the killing of the prince, simply stating that an unidentified man, shot dead, had been dumped out of an automobile right under the windows of detective headquarters in Centre street. It was the physical description of the victim that interested Toole. He read it to Bannister, who listened without comprehending. “My source of information on the Whipples,” the detective explained. “Jeff closed it but he was a little late.” “Oh, your stool pigeon?” “Yep. Sorry about that guy—he never took a nickel for the tips he gave me. You see, I got him out of college once.” “College?” “Sing Sing. He was a probationer when he worked for me." “He risked and lost his life out of gratitude?” “One-Armed” Toole nodded a sober assent. “Those words ain’t carved on the tombstones of many stool pigeons,” he sighed. How remote the murder of Prince Jura Bai seemed to Bannister! Yet only a few days had passed since that hurtling body had fallen at his feet like a being from another world. From the clouds, also, Karen Sire had appeared, more seraphic than human —a gossamer thing of beauty, a dream figment materialized, an elusive, tantalizing, soulstirring creature who even now seemed hardly real to him. She was like a firefly over a swamp, a shifting beacon on a treacherous waste, but he was following her with the determination that there would be no turning back. Toole’s head, clear of the swirling romance that precluded sane think-

Committee chairman John J- O’-

ing in Bannister’s, had been occu- , pied with more practical things. He , had learned much about Alexandria . where he expected to have nis next . encounter with “Big Jeff" Whipple , and his murderous valet. On the I second day out he and Bannister . had a talk with the Albanic’s cap- : into- , "There’s going to be the devil to , pay in Alexandria,” the captain told i them. “Something like a new religious cult is forming among the , half-bre"d pariahs of the Near i East. They’re trying to get together , and develop a nation of their own. , It seems that they have obtained concessions to occupy a desert part I

“There’s going to be the devil to pay in Alexandria,” the captain told them.

of Tibet. In addition they assert territorial rights from remote days and claim to have documents to prove them.” “Documents—territory—rights.” Bannister repeated, glancing at Toole. “If they’ve got all that,” Toole laughed, “why should you expect trouble?” "Simple enough. There are several interests involved—political, religious and industrial. Do you know that we have a large shipment of agricultural implements aboard? Some rich nut in New York is helping the cause. But the danger lies in the fact that such movements always bring wild men out of the woods. The Near East is full of malcontents. They are eager to turn any form of unrest to their own advantage.” “Is there any date fixed for this hegira to the Promised Land?" inquired Bannister. “There is a fixed date in a prophecy made centuries ago. The whole affair is full of lure to the oriental imagination It’s the mystic that always catches ’em.” “What’s mystic about it?" The Captain laughed good humoredly. “Well, the non-terrestrial aspect of the scheme would anpear i somewhat thin to the Anglo-Saxon i mind. It includes vast changes in • the face of the land, made by rni- , raculous intervention.” “No miracle would be necessary ' to accomplish that,” Bannister remarked. “It’s an irrigation job.” “Quite right,” admitted the Captain. “At first it seemed to me a heartless scheme to dump this rabble down in the desert and leave . the wretches to starve and bleach i their bones. As the land lays now i they would have no more chance of thriving than a colony of fleas on a rusty bicycle.” Bannister reminded him that the

Mormons made a desert to blossom as the rose, and that without the aid of modern machinery. “Right again!” exclaimed the Captain, “but the central thought here is altogether too fantastic. They expect a visitation from the sky—a ruler that will come in an aerial chariot. And that ruler is going to be a woman. She will be glorified—she will cleanse them and give them caste. You see it's a religion of yearning. It has the earmarks of a cunningly manufactured cult to appeal to the hopeless ones of the earth.” “Did you hear anything more about this heavenly dame?” Toole

asked, trying to gear the talk down. “Is she black, white or yellow?” The Captain paused as though perplexed by the query. “Am I being kidded?” he asked with bland humor. “Well, from what I can hear, she hasn’t appeared yet, but she’s pictured as a white goddess.” “With red hair?” It was Toole who spoke again. “All goddesses have golden hair, haven’t they?” the captain parried, appealing to Bannister. The young geologist brought his feet back to the deck. “I have seen only one specimen of celestial mold,” he said slowly, “and she has golden , hair.” From the deck level far below ! came tinkling strains from a man- ! dolin. Presently a melodious voice arose, singing “O Solo Mio." The i Captain walked away and joined another group at the rail. Toole nudged his companion but Dick would not move until the song ' had ended. Then he turned *uddeni ly and fetched the detective a ter- ■ rific wham on the back. It was returned with a violence that denoted a common state of feeling ■ The mystery was clearing "Thert 1 was a woman in it," the Captain had said. She had golden hair! All ’ their clouded conjectures of the 1 last few days took definite form. Karen was the center of this whole strange scheme! No wonder her f father had tried to keep the absurd • truth from her. No wonder he had choked off publicity, following the • murder of Prince Jura Bai. i Bannister laughed. A sodden - weight that had rested over his i heart lifted. So this was Karen i Sire’s secret—the cause of her agi- ’ tation over the leopard robe, the E clasp and girdle! (To Be Continued) Copyrlitu. I»3S.
