The use of tobac sing enorm- ously in America. Prohibition unquestionably is largely responsible, for nicotine supplies part of the nerve sooth- ing and physical stimulation that Americans used to ge from alcohol, China is having a similar experience, cigarets gaining in popularity as opium passes out. The waiter at our favorite chop suey restaurant tells us that only the old men smoke opium in China now. The young ones are too sensible. With exceptions of course. One of these days the scientists will drop a bombshell by comparing the physical “harm” of nicotine with alcohol. How many cigarets are as injurious as one drink of whisky ? Few of us realize the enormous increase tobacco. Especially cigarets. Back in 1895 the country manufactured only four billion cigarets a year. Now we make 60 billion a year—or 15 times as much—not counting the product of those who roll their own. Out of the 60 billions of cigarets being made this year, about 12 billions will be exported. That leaves about 450 for every man, woman and child in the United States. On top of this are seven billion cigars a year and pipe and chewing tobacco galore. One reason for the increase in use of higher price of cigar Before the war, three out of ¢ five cigars sold at retail were five-centers. The whole country is more or less excited about the movement against severe prohibition. So much so, that they forget the larger movement FOR prohibition. Did it ever occur to you that prohibition ef tobacco is far from impossible Students of mob psychology and mass sacial movements are, in many cases, claiming that tovacco prohibition is an ultimate certainty. Maybe it seems a laughing matter now. But it’s only a few years since the idea of national prohibition of alcohol, as a beverage, seemed equally ridiculous. Tobacco prohibition would have, supporting it, the vast army of ethically-warped who are instinctively opposed to others enjoying anything they themselves personally dis- like. Tobacco, however, would be a hard industry to kill. grown on 450,000 farms, with two million es devoted to it. There are over 60,000 American tobacco factories, em- ploying 183,000 people. And Uncle Sam collects from this industry 300 million dollars a year. in the use of It is YOUR CAREER * A fondness for pie made Harry Houdini the Handcuff King. You've seen him in vaudeville or the movies. Houdini was born and raised in Appleton, Wis., in the heart of a berry district. His mother made wonderful pies out of the berries. She kept a large supply on hand—locked in the pantry. The boy never lived, of course, who didn’t get at a pie, cake, doughnuts or jam. Houdin a lock to pick <periment- X ing with such crude tools as hairpins — discovered that he} |, had a natural talent for picking locks. So the berry pies started him on his stage career. Houdini has never been foiled at freeing himself when locked up. His closest eseape was in Scotland where the old turnkey of a prison’ shut him in a cell and chuckled as he went away. Houdini tried all his tricks. But he couldn’t | get the door unlocked. After several hours, he gave up in| despair, realizing that his reputatien was due for a smas' Exhausted, he leaned against the door—and fell out into the corridor. The canny old turnkey hadn’t locked the cell. door at all. Many of us, some time or other in our carcers, have been ! that close to failure—to giving up the fight—only to find that | the solution of our difficulty was simple, once we found it: Something more than fondness for berry pies made Hou- dini the Handcuff King. That something was fate. It was born in him, the destiny to make his living by such theatri- cal feats as freeing himself from locks and other bonds. | Each of us comes into this world destined to do certain | \things. If we follow that natural inclination, we usually | meet success. If we err and get into the “wrong line,” we become successful only by almost superhuman will power. | , Many of us, cursing luck for failure in life, are the victims of well meaning but stupid parents who guided us into the wrong trade or profession.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendon, famous criminal investigator, is trying to solve ‘for Jenny Pendean the mystery of the idisappearange of her. . husband, Michael. Bendean is last seen in jthe company of Jenny's uncle, Ro- 'hert Redmayne, when the two visit a bungalow -being erected by Mich- ael near Foggintor Quarry. Blood is found on. ‘the cottage floor and witnesses testify to ha ing seen Robert ride away on hi motor bieycle with a heavy sack be-| hind the saddle. {Jenny goes. to live with her uncle, Bendigo...Redmayne, ahd . Brendon visits her there. Mark meets Giu- seppe Doria, who works for Bendigo. On the road leading to his hotel, Mark sees Robert Redmayne but fails to capture him, Jenny and Doria find Robert and arrange for him to mect Bendigo. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Bendigo spoke, not to Doria, but to the man in hiding. “Come right out, Brendon he said. “The game's up for tonight.” : Mark emerged and Giuseppe gazed in astonishment, “Corpo di Bacco!” he swore. “Then you heard my confidences.

Then, with Brendon in front and the light from his torch upon the steps, they, began their ascent. Save for a drdp of blood here and there, the stone stairway gave no clue; but when they had reached its summit and the subterranean path turned te the left, still in a tunnel of the solid rock, they marked on the aU slope, slippery with’ percolation from the roof, a straight smear dragged over the muddy surface. For the last ten yard; of the tun- nel Mark had to go on his knees and crawl. Then he emerged and found himself in the open air on a shelf hung high between the earth and the sea. Here Brendon saw evidences that the dead weight dragged from be- neath had remained still a while. »y “Where is the path from here?” Mark asked, and Doria, proceeding cautiously to the cast of the plat- cau, presently indicated a rocky footpath that ascended from \it. Brendon desired to be at Dart- mouth as swiftly as possible, so that a search might be instituted at dawn. Doria considered whether he might make best speed by road or water, and decided that he could bring Mark more quickly to thé sea- port in the launch than along the highway. Brendon agreed and they descend- ed the zig-zag path and then, from the plateau, re-entered the tunnel and presently reached the steps again and the cavern beneath. Ex- tinguishing the lamp, whith still burned steadily, they were sun afloat. how to hand and Brendon directed Doria act. “Tell Mrs, Pendean and the ser- vant to lock up the house and then join us,” he said, Doria obeyed and in ten minutes returned with Jenny, dazed and pale and the frightened domestic stilf fumbling at her bodice buttons. Doria’s work was now done and, having directed him to take the women back, Mark bade them all keep the house until more news should reach them. In half an Pour the news had spread, search parties sect out by land, and Brendon himself, with In- spector Damarell and two const: put to sea in the harbormaster's swift steam launch. Then, began a laborious hunt in the cave and the tunnel by which it was approached from above. Morn ing light filled the hollow place and the officers working methodically left no cranny unexplored; but their combined efforts by daylight re- vealed little more than Brendon had Scotland Yard and presently re- turned to “Crow's Nest.” Doria landed Brendon and pyt off again, the coast. The night came at last—very dark overhead but clear and calm. The tide was just making and midnight had struck when Bendigo Red- ; then going slowly down ’ already found for himself in the darkness, Inspector Damarell _re- turned to the steam launch and bade the skipper go back to Dartmouth. “We'll ride home by motor from above,” he said. The launch was off and once more the chimney with the steps, the in- clined plane beyond, and the plat- Mayne, in rough-weather kit, stump- ed down his long flight of steps and went to sea. Brendon and Jen- ny stood above under the flagstaff. Anon they saw the flash of a ruby and an emerald upon the sea west- ward and soon heard Redmayne’s motor boat returning. Less than half an hour had passed. Only Giuseppe Doria ascended the. steps. and he had little to tell. “They didn’t want me ran back,” he said. “They went back into the cave to- gether and I am to return within an hour.” Doria smoked some cigarets and then descended again. Jenny bade Mark good night and retired. CHAPTER VIII Death in the Cave Alone, Brendon regarded the fu- ture with some melancholy. Indeed he knew that in the long run such a cheerful and versatile soul as Giuseppe was more likely ito satisfy Jenny than he. The return of the motor boat ar- rested his reflections. But Doria once more came back to “Crow’s Nest” alone. “After the time was up, I ran in,” he said. “The cave was empty. Now Iam a good deal alarmed and I come back to you.” Much puzzled, Brendon delayed only to get his revolver and an elec- trie torch. He thén descended with Doria to the water and they were soon afloat again. The launch grounded her prow on a little beach jbefore the entrance of Robert Red- mayne’s hiding-place. Both men landed and Giuseppe made fast the launch, Then immedi- ate evidence of tragedy confronted them. The lamp stood on a ledge and flung a radius of light over the floor beneath.

Heavy boots had torn this up and plowed furrows in it, At one spot lay ay impression, though some large object had fallen, and here Brendon saw blood—a dark patch already drying, for the substance of it was soaked away in the sandy shingle! on which it had dropped. Spots of blood and the dragged impression of some heavy body stretched along the ground to. the ‘stone steps and there disappeared. “Pull yourself together and help me if you can,” said Brendon, “Where does this place lead?” “There are many shallow steps, then a long slope and, after that, you have to bend your ‘head - ani sseramble. out. through..q bole.

Mark inquired for Jenny of the frightened maidf “Ask Mrs. Pendean if she can’ sce me a moment,” he said, and the woman ‘left him to ascertain, But Brendon was disappointed. Jenny sent word that she could not see him today and hoped he would take occasion to call on the following morning, when he would find her more composed. A surprise and a keen disappoint- ment awaited them at Dartmouth. The day’s work had produced no re- sult whatever. Weary and out of spirits, Mark \ left the police station and went to ’ his_hotel. He fell asleep at last, thinking not of the vanished sailor, but Jenny’ Pendean. 1 Mark was early astir and with In- spector Damarell he organized an elaborate search system for the day. Brendon proceeded presently to “Crow’s Nest,” drawn thither solely by thoughts pf Jenny. He found her distressed but'calm. She - had telegraphed ‘to her uncle in Italy. She was very nervous, desiring to leave the lonely habitation on the cliffs as quickly as possible; but she intended to await Albert Red- mayne’s decision. * CHAPTER IX Piece of Wedding Cake Albert Redmayne, holding it his duty to come to England, did and Jenny met him at after his long journey. of “Oh, that Peter Ganns were here!” he sighed again and again, while he thrust himself as near as possible to a great coal fire.
