wnght, now en route to the States, endured in the Philipopines is now reversed. t : Liberated by U. S. paratroops from a Jap prison camp in Manchuria, Gen. Wainwright had the personal and fitting satisfaction of witnessing the final surrender of the Nipponese empire in Tokyo. ' 1 Since "Skinny" Wainwright was forced to capitulate his ;heroic garrison on Corregidor on May 6, 1942, he has been the No. 1 American prisoner held by the Japs. The men of !Bataan and Corregidor were desperately outnumbered but never outfought. Left to command them when Gen. Douglas 'MacArthur was ordered by Washington to leave the Philipopines for Australia, Gen. Wainwright not only led them he C typified their gallantry. Suffering from beri-beri, he hobbled to the front lines daily, oblivious of snipers and shellfire. Now 62, Wainwright was bora in Walla Walla, Wash., reared at Army.posts and attended West Point as his father t did before him. The nickname "Skinny" comes from his j cadet days ; so does a record of brilliance he was No. 1 call det in 1906, the year of his graduation. He knows the Philippines from early days of his Army career when he fought the Moros. He went back to the islands again this time in supreme victory.

"The Mgotten Fleet

.CHAPTER XVIII ! There apparently was nobody jboard the Mount Vernon, for when he stepped out upon the bleached and sun warped deck only the faded red, white and blue funnels of the Amerika and the George Washington were to be seen, still towering above a tangle of cargo booms, bridges, lifeboats and ventilators. A further careful reconnaissance of C deck showed the Mount Vernon to be indeed quite deserted save for themselves. Signs of recent activity, however, were abundant. "Shall we shall we see if there's anything in the smoking room?" he inquired at length. "Or would you rather wait?" "Let's look while there's. no one else around," she murmured and passed her muddied arm through his. "Somehow it seems right it's our own secret after all." . As he quietly opened that same door through which a lone lifetime ago it seemed he had followed Mears, the sun thrust a shimmering eclipse above a dim headland far down the gray Patuxent. Skilfully the dawn pencilled with fire the dis tant clumps of Octopus Oil tankers moored together in mid stream, dyed distant marshes a clear emeraid and drew bright planes and squares from the still wet roofs of Patuxtown. It also endowed with a dreadful ruby brightness that pool 'of blood in the center of the smok ing room which marked the spot where Mears had fallen under Colby's bullet. Steadying the girl by an elbow, Colby hurried her past the gruesome souvenir and directed her gaze to the enigmatic, dust dulled teahires of the negro girl above the fireplace. "Try," he cautioned when they halted before it, "not to let it be too big a disappointment if there isn't anything there. There may not be. vou know "I think;" she said with a quick smile that warmed his heart. VI can bear it better today than could have yesterday." "Don't say that unless you mean it!" There was a fierce, insistent miestion m his sunken and blood shot eyes as he stepped in front of her and caught her by the hands. "Do you?" "Oh, my dear yes," was all Geneva could say, then his eager, hard-lipped kisses checked further speech. If she was surprised to find herself in his arms she did not betray it. It was rather as if she had been surprised all her life at not being in his arms and that that situation had abruptly come, to an end. "I I'm glad you did that be fore we looked," she breathed. "I wanted you to knew," he cried in a voice far softer than she had ever heard him use before, "that that--oh well, you know I ' He kissed her again and yet again they had been through so much together. "Look here, young lady," he turned away, "you're corrupting me I'd better be fretting: to work. . "But Don, I don't think it could be there," she protested. "Why would Kraus have hidden the jewels m a public room like this: lt would have been hard for him to have worked undetected." Colby paused, eyes wandering over the mantelpiece. "I don't think your objection is well founded," said he. "I don't know of any more lonesome place than a ship's smoking room after one o'clock at night. Very likely Kraus picked a stormy night when people weren't moving about more than they had to." "But wouldn't it take a lot of time to get one of those figures free?" Geneva insisted. "Not necessarily. Look." He in dicated the full bosomed figure upon which their attention was centered "With half an eye you can see that the carved figure is simply set into the mantel frame like a sort of in lay. Probably one or two French nails are all that are required to

by Van Wyck Mason hold it in place. You see ifr would never come under much strain. "But I still don't see, Don, why he would pick a public room." The ex-soldier's brown features contracted in thought. "I think there are-several gooel reasons, First of all K.raus wanted to put his loot in a place that would be always accessible. In other words, if he hid it in a cabin he might not be able to get that cabin just when he wanted it. And if he insisted too much on having a cer tain cabin, especially an "unattrac tive one such as a man of his type could afford, it would arouse suspicion. Something he didn't want under any circumstances." Colby cocked his head to one side and speculatively fingered the blunt tire iron which had served Vcgel as a jimmy. Here in a public room he could always get at it. And then again there was no danger of the cabin plan being altered or renumbered. Something which happens quite fre quently on a steamer. As a last argument, he said as he drew ui a chair to the mantelpiece, "I think Kraus wanted to pick a distinctive hiding place one that a conteder ate could recognize without iliili culty in ca"se Kraus couldn't como for the loot himself, which is oi course what happened. He swung up on the mantelpiece and began to examine the woo;! work with great carc Do you see anything: ' she de manded. "Yes," he replied, "there are four or five faint marks on this side oi the molding, but thev may have been made by workmen when tlu installed the iigure. Well see in minute now, anyhow." Oblivious to faint voices sounding on shore and from the MontkeUo, Colby continued to examine the mantelpiece while Geneva mean while sank into a shrouded arm chair and sat quite still, ignoring the fact that a liltlo pudnle was forming from the drip of her wet skirt, looking up at him from adorn ing wide gray eyes. What a stran. mixture was this man. Ot him slie even now knew nothing save that she was content to follow him any where, anyhow. The crackle of splintering wood drew her attention as he applied Vogel's jimmy to the backing of the carved figure. She s fairly loose, he called excitedly. "I think we" But just then the grinning negro girl jerijnu forward and came loose so easily that Coiby had to clutch wildly at it and was barely able to prevent its crashing to the tile before the fireplace. It was characteristic of Donald Colby that he said nothing when he found himself peering at a loiig slot into which the nymph's backing had been fitted. JNow there was exposed a further space perhaps four inches wide by eight inches tall and, securely jammed into it, was a fiat parcel done up in yellowed newspaper. Still silent, Colby got down and passed it to the seated girl, and she accepted it but with her eyes still hxed on his. "That table please," was all she said. When he brought it she care fully slipped aside the cotton string securing the package and com menced to unwrap it, creating little crackling noises that filled the whole garish smoking room. The sun, on rising a little higher. crept in through a leaded window and revealed in Geneva's cheeks color whipped back by an overwneimmg excitement. Towering above the wholly absorbed girl stood JJonald Colby feet a little apart and looking more like an Indian than ever. His lips took on a peculiar twist when the paper fell apart and a lanee-Jike sunbeam leaped into a mass of dia monds, emeralds, sapphires and pearls, to escape again amid maddening burst of rainbow hues, "Thank God," murmured Geneva Benet, and then again very softly, "inanK (joq, Mother darling!."

Mystery" Suddenlv. in a single gesture, she divided the glittering heap in half and held out a handful of gems to the spare figure before her. A strand of glorious emeralds throbbed with the verdant iignts oi a iropic ungle. a huge sapphire gleamed like the Caribbean, but the exsoldier stood very s'.ill and slowly -.hook his narrow ncad. "Thanks," he murmured, "I can't take thein." "But you must!" she pleaded and sprang up. I .ere: rat:e mem lou ve earned them, 1 want you w have them." "Sorry," he insisted earnestly. "There are regulations against it." 'Regulations?1' she burst out. urely the rules of that funny little country you used to serve aren't binding now?" "They aren't," he admitted, tak ing the jewels and replacing them with their fellows. "But the regulationsof the Department of Justice are. They say in so many words: 'No Operative of this Department shall under any circumstances what soever accept a gratuity for tnt performance of his duty'. Geneva Eentt began to tremble a ntue. "Then then you aren't a soldiei of fortune?" "In one sene I was until aoout a month ago," he explained. "The Department, you see, sent me tc join the Bolivian army in order t Uiice from that end certain ;Ile?a' arms shipments being i'onvnrJtx from the United Slates to a revo iulionary force." "And you found out what yci wanted?" "Yes." A wry smile flitted ovci Donald Colby's face. "Anyhow, 1 spent three months in the jungitt of ftl Gran Chaco and nearly gol ki!l(!(j first. Barely got away witl: my life at the end. You see I knew the ager.ts were watching the b:p ships for me so I stowed away or a coairtS' bor.t never pick a guar.t boat, Sister," he added with a grin "Limburger is heliotrope to gu.ino.' He shrugged and made a little spreading gesture with his hands "After that I thought I could tckt a furlough, but my ship had barelj reached Savannah than I got in structions to go immediately to Solo mon s Island. I was instructed to find out what had happened to those three missing watchmen." "So you you were from the Department of Justice all the time!'' She was staring at him, quite forgetful of the fortune which glittered and throbbed before her. "I was. I'm afraid I was pretty rough, but you see, dear, I had no idea what the situation was. I had to be suspicious of everybody even you." "Had you any knowledge of the jewels?" "None. Though I realized, of course, something pretty valuable must have been on these ships to cause so much excitement in a backwater like this." He glanced out of a window and pointed to the shore. "By the looks of that I think this detail is almost at an end." Somewhat unsteadily Geneva Benet rose and, standing beside him, watched Ehrenbreit, Ferguson and the rest step from a large rowboat onto the rickety pier. They stepped awkwardly, as men do when their hands are secured behind them. Standing about were half a dozen figures in the brown and black uniform of the Maryland State police. Others were hailing an ambulance which had run down to the shore. "I see they have them all. That means that the case is at an end?" "Very nearly." "And then what?" "Why, darling, I'm lhink of undertaking the pleasantest assignment of my life," he cried as he swept her into his arms again. On that nearby table the jewels shimmered, lovely but quite forgotten.

WPB TO ALLOW HUNTERS 8 BOXES OP AMMUNITION WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. (UP) The War Production Board announced that hunters i will be allowed eight boxes of ammunition this season, the same amount as last year. Supplementary amounts will be permitted for farmers, ranchers and trappers. The WPB revoked controls over the production of revolvers and shotguns for-civilian use. At the same time, the WPB relaxed its ammunition order to permit ammunition manufacturers to produce shotgun shells and rifle cartridges in accordance with lead supplies allotted to them under the lead conservation order: Hunters, on signing a certificate, are authorized by WPB to buy 150 rounds of 22-caliber rim-fire cartridges, 40 rounds of center-fire rifle ammunition (or 50 rounds of the type usually packaged 50 to the box) and 100 shotgun shells of any gauge. WPB said the ammunition in dustries is planning increased civilian production in the latter part of this year , and in 1946, when lead supplies should be easier. FACTOGRAPHS The English novelist, Joseph Conrad, was the son of a Polish revolutionist. He did not learn English until comparatively late in life, but became master of an extraordinarily idiomatic and strong Style. In 1942 the United States Fish and Wildlife Service estimates 8,000,000 hunters killed 253,000,000 pounds of dressed game. Gyroscopic motor cars, with only one front and one rear wheel, have been successful merated. "v&'-f:V " f'i : .. ... .. 'A i.i?S'.s.'::4i-, wife of the icIUe cf t"-ie .'..!-A:;i3:-:can ".y c."
