STRANGE SENCE | SYNOPSIS, Jean Graham and her brother Euan stay on the Riviera with Geoffrey \Win- ton and his wife Doreen, who leads Euan on to gamble at the Casino. Jean coaxes him to go to Paris, On the road to Paris Jean finds a string of pearls in Euan's pocket. He snatches the case from her and the car crashes. The accident is digcovered by Jerry Grant who takes her back to his hostess, Helen Gorst. M, Rivaux, French ingeetor, Investigates, {Geoffrey Winton tells Helen that his wife's pearls are missing. Rivaux con- fuan's disappearance, Jean visits Euan's friend, de Laurier, whom' she dislikes, and learns that Euan is in debt to him. Meanwhile Jerry Grant meets M. Perl hon, famous detective, who promises to fielp them. Having tea with de Laurler, Jean learns that he knows Euan had the pearls with him. Rivabx produces' a petrol lighter which Jean acknowledges ks her brother's, . : CHAPTER XV.--Con'd. "Ah!" Rivaux grinned delightedly. "We advance!" Carlessly lighting an- other cigarette, Doreen Winton listen- ed to all that vias said. When Jean identified the article, M. Rivaux flung her a glance of triumph. "Next it will be your pearls, Madame," "It's about time," she said with a ghrug. ' "But where did you find it?" asked Jean breathlessly. : "Ah, that is the strange thing," gaid the Frenchman mysteriously. "That little lighter was found on the hillside between the road and the sea, right over there--" He nodded in the direction of St. Raphael. "In a lonely place between La Croix and Hyeres." "But--" Jean broke off. "I don't understand." Suddenly Doreen Winton burst out laughing, "Don't Toulon." "Why Toulon?" asked Jean, missing the point. ko The other's eyes narrowed as she said: © "Toulon is a port. there." B "Come, Doreen, that's hardly nec- essary," said Helen, sharply. "You haven't lost twenty thousand pounds, ér you'd be suspicious your- rep!" With which, gathering up her cigarette case and bag, Doreen turn- «ld and strolled off by the way she had come, I M.

What did this new discovery "by ALLYN SLOAN] they stirred him, He said: "Mademoi- selle, who knows? But possibly, possi- bly, Me, I think we shall find him. So au revoir, Mademoiselle," : As Jean stood watching him walk off into the house &he felt dead, stupid, staring at the little lighter which she still hed in her hand, She had given | it to Euan on his birthday two years ago. It had been tacitly agreed that at dinner that night no mention should be made of the tragedy which over- shadowed Jean Graham. They were therefore a merry party, although Grant felt rather disgusted that after one dance Jean refused to go on, Even Helen's insistence that it was natural that the girl did not feel much like dancing failed to reassure him, Whilst Jerry danced with their host- ess, Jean sat out with their host and looked on. She was completely taken unawares, however, when suddenly Max de Laurier appeaved before her and asked for a dance, whispered. . "Of Euan? Oh!" She rose almost automatically, "What, Tell me!" "Not here; we shall be overheard. Outside," he replied, moving away." Everything forgotten but the desire to hear this news, Jean followed the Baron on to the terrace and down into the garden. "This is far enough, surely," she objected, stopping by a seat, ? "Look, there is a -bench with a view." He pointed beyond'it, where the lights of Monte Carlo bordered the moonswept sea. "You are cold?" Helping her draw up her shawl, his hands lingered upon her: shoulders. "Jeanne, cherie, you are so lovely to- night. Look at your lovely arms; they are like marble kissed by the sun." Lifting her arm, he pressed his lips against it. Pas : Shrinking away, Jean tried to free herself, but opposition only intensified the Frenchman's ardor, Flinging cau- tion and restraint to the winde, he drew her into his arms. "How dare you! Let go of mel Oh, how dare you!" Jean gasped struggling unavailingly to break away. "Love dares all, ma cherie "Don't speak of love to me. have no:right--none!" "No right?" His eyebrows raised in genuine surprise. "But you forget, surely?" . Though softly spoken, the words bore in them the hint of a threat.

My wrist--I'm sorry, but I don't care for you in that way, Baron," her, saying with a cold finality: "Very well, Rivaux of the Surete will be glad to hear what I have to tell him." "You beast!" gasped Jean, almost incredulously, She was horror-bound, unable to move, and stood there a pale slight figure, her face in the moon- light frozen into lines of fearful dis- tress. '"W-what do you want?' she asked at length, "Money?" De Laurier laughed. "Money you owe me, my dear, two thousand pounds, For my silence, ] want some- thing better." « "But I--I----" she swallowed. Laurier smiled. "Let us not quarrel, Mademoiselle, 1 have perhaps been over-hasty, But we wil. be friends--don't we? Just friends. You agree? Is it a bargain?"

Returning alone to the ballroom, Jean went. straight to Mrs, Gorst and said that she would like to go home, Her pallor and the purple smudges beneath her eyes told their own story and Helen rose at once, Grant, however, although he saw that something had upset Jean, steeled "his heart against her look of misery. If 'she preferred the Frenchman-- well, let her, he thought jealously, bowing frigidly and giving her a for- mal good night, IE 'CHAPTER XVI. It was soon after ten the nexl morn- ing hen Jerry Grant arrived at the Villa Marguerite, He was carefully dressed and in rather a haughty mood, for he had come intending to proposé again to Jean Graham and this time to extract some definite an- swer from her. The starch was taken out of him at the outset, however, for Helen informed him that Jean was staying in bed until lunch time. All the grand sentiments which he had prepared to voice suddenly seemed rather silly, and he looked at Helen appealingly: "D'you think she'd lunch with me?" She shook her head: "I'm afraid she's lunching out." : "Oh?" He glanced at her sharply, hesitated, then as if unable to help himself, blurted out: "Not' with that fellow 2" Helen nodded.

The prosperity, both of Great Britain and of the rest of Europe, is bound up with revival of international trade, and the four main objects for which this coun- try 1s working to btain it are (1) a rise in wholesale prices, to secure which the'British Government consid- ers that control of production is the most certain and rapid remedy; (2) removal or lowering of oppressive trade barriers, which the government thinks will follow a restoration of the stalility .of currencies; (3) establish- ment of an international monetary standard commanding general confi dence; such as can only be given by gold, and (4) resumption of interna- tional Jending. : At present the conditions do not exist which would enable Great Bri tain to return to the gold standard, and th. resumption of international lending is impossible so long as the present fears for the safuty of capital exist. But there are, itevertheless, signs that all countries aie beginning to think a little more internationally.

Science is well aware of the problem and ever seeking more facts about the poisoning, either to build up preventa- tive measures or devise better' diag- nostic tests. A new, simple test has just been announced by Dr. A. A. Christman, of the department of physiological chemistry at the Univer- sity of Michigan, which has all the ac- curacy of older, more complicated methods, and yet can be made with ap- paratus In the city streets instead of in the laboratory. Dr. Christman's method was announced in "The Jour- nal of Biological Chemistry." Y Previous methods took much more time to work cat and involve. equip- ment and skill seldom found outside the larget hospitals and college labor- atories. Carbon monoxide causes asphyxia- tion, not because oxygen cannot be drawn into the-lungs with air, but be- cause the gas displaces normal oxygen in the "carrier" cells of the blood and prevents oxygen from being trans- ported about the body. The cells take oxygen going from the lungs and bring back carbon dioxide on the return trip. Oxygen can displace C02, but cannot drive out carbon monoxide, The re- sult is that one may die of the lack of oxygen just as surely as though the throat were: closed, . : In Dr. Christman': test-the dissolved gases carried bythe blood are passed through a solution of pallidium chlo- ride. The resulting compound, when treated with potossium iodide, gives a red-colored solution which, by shading of the color as compa. ed with a stand- ard color chart, shows the proportion in the original blood sample, i Write for free copy of SWAYZE GOLD REVIEW and Full Information to : Swayze Huycke Gold Mines LIMITED 910 Sterling Tower, Toronto, Ont. fe mame a J] HERE'S THAT QUICK WAY TO STOP A COLD Hf throat is sore, crush and fo Take 2 Aspirin, Tablets, ours. .

During the summer the change was so successful that the railways de- cided to continue it to the end of the year, but during recent weeks there has ben a slight decrease, and it was debated whether it was worth while to adopt cheap fares for the whole of 1934 or to cancel them un- til the summer. .
