[OMDAT, APRIL 2, 1923. QU-LOV A Brilliant and Dramatic Novel of the South Seas. BY H, BEDFOR! Fr ~. THE DEVIL,” Ere. JONGS, AUTHOR SS AT DAWN,” INSTALLMENT NO. SIX. WHO'S WHO IN THE STORY, Brain Fortesque, a rich young San Franciscan drives to his cottage in} the mountains to rest and here, finds. | Lou-Lou, the young and beautiful éaughter of a deceased Sultan of S!- buko, who has escaped from an Asy- lum in New York, She had been plac- ed in the asylum through the plot ot her half-brother. Zahri who plans to seize the thrond left to Lou-Lou by her father Hvarson described by Lou-Lou as @ “terrible man" who once kissed her against her will and . Hamed Ben Yusuf his associate are involved with Zahri. Barak, a loyal servant of Lou-Lon's) Epanish mother, contrives her escape, though he is forced to kill a guard to get her out. He has no tongue, but communicates with her by means of eians. Fifteen highly valuable rubles brought by Zahri to New York are “taken” by Barak, who sells three of them, and with the procee¢s brings Leu-Lou as far as California. Fear: ing capture as they near San Fran- cisco the fugitives leave the train, but are forced by a violent storm to seek shelter in Fortesque's cottage, The girl's story makes «1 deep impression on Fortesque. She gives him the re-, maining twelve rubles which she asku him to sell for enough money to carry her to Manila. Finally she persuades Brain to go with her and help her to frustrate Zahri. In San Francisco, Fortesque puts the rubles in his safe- ty deposit box, draws ten thousand dollars in currency, and makes ar rangements for a voyage. At Lou- Lou's request he looks up The Reverend Luke Quail, a for- mer missionary. Fortesque learns that Mr. Quail is a militant man of the cloth, who once in physical combat had drubbed no less a person than Hyarson. The clergyman had then suggested that Hvarsan be baptized otherwise ‘he would not be author- ized to read the burial service over him,” and hinted that {t might be re- quired. Mr. Quail is persuaded to ac- company the party. On the very first) night on the ship it is discovered that Hvarson is a fellow passenger. ‘Trehearne, loca! agent in Sfbuko for a trading company ts told by Franks, an exiled Virginian, that, hie has received word from Barak at Manila, by a carrier pigeon. Barak had written an account of Lou-Lou's adventures and the arrival of her party at Manelli. At the same time Hamed comes and says that Zahri, whom he significantly calls Sul is soon to arrive at Stbuko. Hamed openly curses the Christians. Soon after Franks and Trehearne inform Hamed that Lou-Lou is safe, and in Manila, Franks is found dead stabbed with a dagger which is identified as having been the prop- erty of the old Sultan, and buried with him.in-his tomb. Superstitious natives believe the old Sultan has avenged himself on Franks for some wrong done him. Franks entrusted a DON'T FUSS WITH MUSTARD PLASTERS! » Musterole Works Without the Blister—Easier, Quicker There’s no sense in mixing a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, white Mus! Musterole is made of pure oil of mustard and other helpful ingredients, combined in the form of the present white ointment. It takes the place of mustard plasters, and will not blister.

Trehearne was not worried about any secret; he never bothered his head with such abstruse things. He ‘was worried, much more practically, abowt himself. He was haunted by the possibility that, after all, some human hand might Griven home that steel blade. ; It occurred to Trehearne, very naturally, that he would like to put some pointed questions to Rais Hamed ben Yusuf. At this junction Hamed’s ship the Gazelle returned from a vo¥age on a hot, sunny morning. With her care a native craft from Manila, which sailed crabwise and made as- tonishing leeway, and which bore the fat, droopy-eyed youth known as Zahri ben Muley. Trehearne puffed down to the white beach, with all the world and its wife, to see the hame-coming of this venturer into lands. It was worth seeing, after a fashion. Zabri was comfortably drunk, spilled himself into the surf and ruined a new silk hat, and came out Gripping but fairly sober. Rais Hamed looked on with a paternal tolerance, tugged his gray beard, and gleamed in his coal-black eye. Evidently these two had met some- where at sea. Zehri grunted up to the waiting councilors and listened to @ speech of welcome with very bad grace, and after a few minutes decided that he had heard enough compliments, 6o he waved his hand and waiked through the crowd toward the palace. One of the councilors bellowed something after him. Hoe turned and bellowed a reply. “I came alone because I came alone! That is enough. Allah knows where Tuan Hvarson and Sultana Leu-Lou are, but I think they will be along later.” Trehearne, who understood Span- ish excellently, perceived that Rais Hamed had gone.out to meet Zahri, and had schooled him in what to say. So Trehearne went home again, with an uncomfortable idea that Rais Hamed was an efficient devil by him- self, but that when Hvarson got here, he would have old Grandfather Satan to help run things, and then there ‘would be all hell to pay. The following day Trehearne saw that the Gazelle was gone again from the lagoon, and he did not have to be informed that Rails Hamed had gone with her—somewhere. This made him breathe a little more easily. 1s no stronger than {ts weakest link.” This is Mkewise true of your health.

This was very true—so true, in- deed, that Trehearne relaxed in his chair and stared quite ignorant that the young lady who viewed him so smilingly had received certain pieces of gold from Rais Hamed for the purpose of inducing her to transact this business with Trehearne. It could not be denied that Cerise was an adorable creatyre.. Trehearne had seen her more than once, but never go attractively close. Her fluttering silken garmenta were calculated to reveal as well as to con- ceal, and there was no one in Sibuko to object to this. The council did not pretend that the sight of a marvel- ously rounded bosom or a_ thigh which would heave drawn rapturous sighs from Phidias caused them any Particular pain. Trehearne rallied desperately, he had no illusions. “Come, my dear girl,” he said in tumbling French. “I have no bu: to transect with you Cerise! She laughed, very prettily, as she Iaid upon the desk a very fairly made oluje-board. “You have the pointer,” she said “and I have the board. Now, be- tween us, I imagine that we might do a good deal with this outfit, non? I shall sit across the desk from you, ll work together, eb?” for Trehearne considered this, and finally. nodded with grave solemnity. “By all means.” He set the board neatly before him, and upon {t the planchette glider, and put a new penci! into the clip he used. “You see," he explained, “‘some- times I get a control that wishes to write instead of to spell by letters.

Only too damnably well! And he perceived that he was a lost man. ora e) esa On a Oe she Meanwhile, in Zamboanga Hvarson and Hamed met and exchanged stories. The former disapproved the killing of Franks, saying he knew something about the treasure of the old sultan. As for Hvarson‘s story, Hamed had this comment to make: “You failed, Allah worked against you. To coun- terbalance this, Allah worked for me. You understand?” Tt is a little silly,” sald Tvarson, “to work and strive for tho treasure, since money can be honestly got in other and easter ways.” Rais Hamed laughed a little. “You forget that I have seen the treasure, Tuan Hvarsor; and I am not of your To me, those stones and js must be loved for their own sake, as much as for their intrinsic ‘Oh, of course,” conceded Hvar- son. “But to me, Lou-Lou is more than treasure, I had arranged to leave her in the madhouse until 1 could come back for her.

A perfect arrange- ment!" “But not yet perfected.” Hvarson amiled, showing his white, even teth. “I think that I shall stay in Zam- boanga until you send for me to take Lou-Lou away. And I shall need money.” Rais Hamed took a package of American currency from a chest. “There is half my money,” ‘he eaid simply. “If you need more, go to, worth.” |the broker Ch'flen Lu Lung in the Calle Felipe II; he has my remain- ing wealth in trust.” At Manila, where Rais Stipek, « | devoted follower of Lou-Lou was en- gaged to_bring her party to Sibuko, Fortesque learned something more of | Lou-Lou. ‘ One night he musingly asked Mr. known her mother. y id the missionary. “When I first knew her, she was a child of four; her mother was dead.
