the broad wink that he received and disappeared f that stuff couldnt have got under here without somebody knowing it said van daulen that is my contention whoever was responsible for the crime had an accomplice in the house the other grunted appears to lie between my boy and myself so i took the liberty of arresting the boy the devil you did to be continued van daulen half off caused with cne ceo between his lips and a halffilled tumbler resting in the cavity in the arm lay chinese pennington oh good evening thought id left you behind in jesselton he blundered past pennington found a seat and began unlacing his boots dyou intend stopping here if i may certainly delighted of course no need to offer yon a drink i see two diagonal slits were all that was visible of the englishmans eyes no

car traveling at so fast a speed he declares a young irishman leonard t scott is the discoverer of this worlds ideal speed track the exact location ot which for some purpose is not being disclosed but it is stated to be near ly 1000 miles from the coast beyond the atlas mountains and hundreds of miles from the nearest town mr scott who is one ot the few- men who have trekked across the desert from aran to the niger says that it is a great plain of sand with surface as smooth as a billiard table except for some parts of it that are littered with tiny pebbles native labor would have to be employed for a number of days to clear a course twelve miles in length by 150 feet wide this plain stretches for 400 miles without even a shrub to break the monotony of the landscape says mr scott the place is so remote from civili sation that captain campbell would i have to transport his car his me chanics and his supplies of gasoline and oil by motor lorries and camels over hundreds of miles of desert water would have to be conveyed to the spot from an oasis on the north ern fringe ot this vast sterile stretch of sand this oasis would be cap tain campbells headquarters captain campbell intends it the preliminary survey is satisfactory to make his attack on the speed record late in december when according to mr scott the temperature at midday does not exceed 100 degrees fahren heit and the early morning air is even chilly the place is not windswept and the surface of the sand always smooth the racer says his test would be checked up by representatives from the french official

van daulen that if you were to leave estate affairs to those who understand them and occupy yourself solely with the rounding up of the yellow seven youd be rendering the island a better service you
