Secret Service agent stationed in Manila, receives receives orders from Washington to sail aboard the China Star, bound for San Francisco, he is forced to take a plane to catch up with it. Among the passengers passengers Is the lovely Sylvia Ames, who instantly attracts Morley. When Phil Lon, an over-inquisitive Chinese-Amer- ican, tries to pump him, Morley says he is a lawyer frtim Baltimore and that he had raced after the ship because- because- of Sylvia. He_ receives orders to guard Eli J. Brandon, international financier travelling incognito as "John B. Ellis." When a note from Sylvia Ames to Ellis is delivered to Morley by mistake, he deliberately accepts it. CHAPTER II Morley regarded the folder note in his hand, and hesitated. Should he deliver it to Ellis and thus make an opportunity to have a talk with the man, or should he read the note first? His orders were to guard Ellis-- or Brandon -- but he didn't know against wliat he was to guard him, and Ellis might hot he communicative. communicative. This note might furnish a clue. What connection was there between Sylvia Ames and Ellis? Yes, Morley decided, it was his duty to read the note before passing it on. He unfolded the hit of paper and read: "Meet me at ten on the port side of the promenade deck! Necessary that I see you. S." At ten, on the promenade deck. A rendezvous with Sylvia Ames. Fortunate, Fortunate, this John Ellis, ... Morley scowled. Why not keep that rendezvous himself? He could easily, glibly, explain that the note had been delivered to him by mistake. Yes, he'd keep that appointment with Sylvia Amest He glanced at his watch and found that it was fifteen minutes to the appointed appointed hour. He drained his glass and tit a cigarette, He wondered how Sylvia had happened happened to be with Phil Lon. Had she known him beforp boarding the ship? Morley sauntered out onto deck. He was conscious of an unreasonable excitement. excitement. More than, he cared to admit admit to himself, he wanted to meet this Sylvia Ames.

He saw her presently, standing at the rail with" Phil Lon. The Chinese saw Morley approaching, and , bis broad grin wavered for an instant, then reappeared. "Ah, Morley--'.' Lon introduced him, but Sylvia Ames looked at him with disconcerting disconcerting indifference. She uttered only a polite acknowledgement. "Someone I must see," Lon muttered muttered suddenly, and hurried off. Sylvia Ames' glance followed him. An amused smile touched her lips. "Strange, how he knows everyone," everyone," she murmured. Morley nodded. "Yes--Mr. Lon is a very strange man." He darted her a quick glance. "Know hom long?" "No---I met him on the boat when I came out to Shanghai. We met again on this trip." She glanced at her wrist watch. "Please excuse me, Mr. Morley. I have an appointment---" appointment---" She started to turn away. "Miss Ames--" She turned back, "Yes.?" "I--Pm afraid you're appointment appointment must be-postponed. Your note was delivered to me by mistake. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, I did not know for whom it was intended, and could not pass it on." She stared at the folded bit of paper paper between his fingers, and a frown of annoyance appeared on her face. "That is unfortunate. Oh, well, another time will do." "I'd be glad to deliver the message message for you," he suggested.. "No, thank you." She took the paper, put it in her purse, and leaned once more against the rail. Morley took up a position beside her. "Been long in the Orient?" he asked. "No--I was in Shanghai only three weeks." "Friends there? Of course there are. Stupid question. I'm afraid I've contracted Mr. Lon's disease-- insatiable curiosity." Sylvia smiled. "He is rather inquisitive, inquisitive, isn't he ? But I don't mind being cross-examined. I was visiting my brother in Shanghai. He is with an oil company there. Have you been out here long?" . Morley was silent for a moment. He had told Phil Lon that he was a lawyer on a brief trip to the Orient, and it was possible that the Chinese had repeated that story. No, he could not tell Sylvia Ames that he had" been in the East -- throughout China, Guam, the Philippines--for , the past two years. Such an admission would lead to further questions. "No," he told her. "This was just a hurried visit." Sylvia glanced at him searching- ly„, "Mr. Lon was speaking of you. Your arrival aboard the China Star aroused his curiosity. I'm afraid tie isn't quite satisfied by your explanation,. explanation,. Apparently, he's been reading too many mptéry stories--he finds mystery everywhere." "In yovq too?" Her silvery laugh was like music. "In me? Hardly! I'm just an everyday everyday sort of person." "I disagree," said Morley. "You are a very unusual person. Right now, you are fascinating me. And you are a mystery, too." "How am I a mystery?" He shrugged his broad shoulders. "In that I'd like to know more about you." "You'll be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary girl seeing a bit of the world.'.' "Married? Or promised?" She laughed. "Neither. And now that that's settled, let's get into the other riddle--you." He matched her laugh. 'Why am I a riddle? Mterely because .Mr Lon says so?" Her eyes probed his with disconcerting disconcerting steadiness. '-'Whjz," she asked, "did you tell Mr. Lon that you had seen me in Manila? That you had followed the China Star By plane to see me? I was not ashore at Manila." "Lies have an amazing way of finding a man out," he said lightly. "Why did I tell Mr. Lon that? Because,--because Because,--because the idea, the lovely idea, of you was in my mind. The idea of you, Miss Ames, was in mÿ subconscious mind long before I ever saw you---" Her eyes sparkled. "You're the boldest and smoothest flatterer I've ever met. You don't expect me to believe that I'm--well, your ideal of a woman !" There was a mocking smile upon her lips. He hesitated, scowling darkly at the glow of h:s cigarette. Then, he flung the cigarette over the side, and took her hands in his. "Whether it's the moon or not," he said, "I don't know, but that's exactly exactly what I do expect -you to believe." believe." She gasped, drew away from him, then turned and almost ran along the deck. (TO BE CONTINUED) Secret of Longevity It is pleasing to find a variation in the prescriptions for good health at great age. Too much they have been limited to long walks, total abstinence, abstinence, regular drinking and the like. Brigadier-General Samuel E. Tillman, who will be 90 in October, astonished the ship news reporters the other day by attributing his fine physical condition to the fact that he has never supported his trousers with a belt. Suspenders are his secret, secret, now revealed by a mhn who has -gained distinction as soldier, astronomer, astronomer, chemist and geologist. There is much to say for the Tillman Tillman theory. Suspenders may be ugly, while belts are aesthetic, but the old galluses put the weight of the breeches on the shoulders and not on the hips. Put a Belt on a man and he will automatically thrust his paunch out to keep the leather from slipping. Give him suspenders and he van put his chèst out and his tummy in without fear and social disaster. There is also the element of congestion of the abdominal capillaries capillaries under pressure of the belt. Suspenders went out when the vogue for country life made men try to be beautiful sans coat and waistcoat. They are coming back now and General Tillman's certificate certificate will give them another fillip. If a man cannot have two cars in his garage he can express prosperity by haying suspenders for each and every pair of trousers.
