RIPPLIN RUB e s o o o A Thrilling Mystery Story By J. S. FLETCHER (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) “Probably sheitered by some - coun- tryman or countrymen of yours,” re- plisd the old man. *I think he will have accomplices. It may have been an_accomplice—not necessarily himself ~—who murdered the man_ Holliment. “If only 1 knew what Holliment had been murdered for!” muttered Jiffe dene. “Not mere ordinary robbery— that's flat. Holliment had a gold watch on him that was well worth fifty pounds! 1t was flung on the pavement beside his body. And money —he'd a lot of money—that was lying about, too. What did the murderer ‘want? Mr. Cheng smiled more blandly than ever. It is a more interesting question— did he find what he wanted?" he said in his gentlest tones. Suppdse he didn't, Mr. Cheng?” sug- gested Jifferdene. “In that case,” murmured the old man, “there will be another murder— perhaps two—perhaps thres Jifferdene started at him: Mr. Cheng returned the stare steadily. The de- tective rose from his chair “I think we'd better get busy,” he said. “Come on, Mr. Cranage—much obliged to you, Mr. Cheng. 1 wish, though, you'd give us more informa- tion.” The old man said nothing. He walked in front of us to the outer door of his ite, and opening it stood aside with a polite bow. But as I was about to pass out. he suddenly laid a clawlike hand on my arm. “You are very Young," he said. “Have a care of yourself “Am 1 in danger, sir?” I asked. “You were on one side of the win- dow,” he answered with a quick, mean- ing glance. “There was a man on the other who—will stop at nothing.” Then he bowed us out, closed the door on us, and we went downstairs and out into the street. “Look here, Jifferdene!” I said, as xoon as we were in the sunlight. “T've had enough of this, and I hope vou've done with me. There's too much murder and suggestion of mur- der in the air! I shall be glad to g0 home.” “You'd only have to come up again tomorrow, or the day after, Mr. Cra- nage,” he replied coolly. * “Wh; I demanded. “Inquest—on Holliment,” swered laconically “What have I got to do with the inquest?” [ asked. g “You'll be one of the most impor- tant witnesses.” he replied. “You'll have to tell all about that affair at Portsmouth. So vou'll have to stay a day or two, anyway. But don’t you be afraid—I'll keep you company dur- ing the day, and it's not likely that any harm'll come to you in u& good hotel at night.” “It's a confounded nuisance'” I ex- claimed. “What did that old China- m; mean by his last words?” think he meant that this cha who's lost part of his ear is after something which Holliment had in he an- his possession. and that he—or his| accomplices—will go through every- body and &nybody who had any con- nection with Holliment in their ef- forts to find it.” he answered dry “That's about it “Then I um in some danger?” I said. “Of course, he knew of my connec- tion, temporary though it was, with Holliment Don’t be afraid® he answered. “T'll see to vyou. You're safer here with me and in London than you were down there at Renardsmere House. Put it out of your mind, Mr. Cranage, and we'll just drive round to Padding- ton police station and hear any news about last night's affair—they 10 have some there by this time.” So we went back to Paddington, and there, at the police station. im- mediately encountered a man who ap- peared unfeignedly glad to see my companion. was just going to telephone to you,” he said. 've got some infor- mation about that murdered man of whose identity we aren't sure.” “You needn’'t be uncerta any longer,” remarked Jifferdene. “I've had him identified—by this gentleman. He's the man I said he was—Holli- ment of Portsmouth. What informa- tion have you got about him?" Well, we've been making inquiries in_ that Maida Vale district all day, said the other, “and this afternoon'l struck on something. A man answer- g his description was in the War- rington Hotel late last night with an- other man. I'm just going round there to get more news about it— you'd better come. “‘As long a there's anything learn—" began Jifferdene. “There'll be something to learn. As soon as | heard of it I sent a man to get the landlord to go round to the mortuary to see if he recognized the body as that of the man who had been in there last night. He'll be back at the hotel by now nd what 1 want to get at is not to much particulars about him—the dead ‘'un—as about the man who was with m. aid the Paddington detective. ‘That's a thing to follow up at once. “Come_on, then” assented Jiffer- dene. “Comé on, Mr. Cranage—you're fairly in for it now—may as well see it through.

Looks like it in this case, too. What was this chap knifed for? Not for what he had on him, anyway “Ah!" remarked Jifferdene. “Lots o' guess things in this world.

What I object to is when they start mixing up their memories with their imaginations. But I know this man a bit—he'll tell us a straightforward tale. “Practical man, eh?" suggested Jif- ferdene. “Very!" assented Birkem. *He'll tell us just what he saw, and just what he_heard—and no more.” The landlord in question evidently expected a visit from the police, and as soon as we arrived ushered us into a private parlor and sat down with us. He himself plunged straight into the subject that had brought us there. “Well,” he said, folding his hands on the table before him and looking round at us, “I've been along there— to_the mortuary.” Well ced Birkem. “That's the man who was in here last night! ‘You're certain?” “Dead certain! He came in here— into our saloon bar, that is—about half-past 10, and was here until nearly closing time.” 3 ¥ “He'd another man with him, hadn’t he?” suggested Birkem. “He had. A younger man—very well dressed, quite a swell as regards hiz clothes. A Je It was all I could do to repress a start. That, I had no doubt, was Neamore. Neamore, of course. But 1 was not going to speak—yet. “Had vou ever seen either of them before?" asked Jifferdene. “Never! That's pethaps why I no- ticed them particularly. 1 happened to be serving. myself. at that part of the counter they came to when they entered, and 1 took stotk of both. There was another reason why they attracted my attention—they asked for a bottle of champagne.” “And got it, of course,” said Bir- kem. “Of course!—and one of the best brands, too. They drank that at the counter, taking their time over it 1 heard what they were “What?" asked Jifferdene. | varne's in i ought | | oa the subject “The chances of that filly of Lady Renardsmere's — Rippling Ruby—for the derby,” answered the landlord. “The younger man seemed to have some inside knowledge about it.” “Well?” said Jifferdene, after a pause. “And what then? “They finished their bottle. Then the elder man—the man I've just seen.” continued the landlord with a significant nod—“he glanced at his watch. ‘Lots o' time yet’ he said. ‘We'll have another.’ So they ordered another bottle of the same, and when T'd opened it for ‘em they took it and their glasses across to an alcove in the saloon and sat down. kenlere they sober?" inquired Bir- em. “Sober and quiet an haved as you pleas landlord, confidently. ducted, polite men. I took 'em for a couple’ of bookmakers — something connected with the turf, anyway. “And they stopped in your place Some time—talking?* asked Jiffer- ne. “Until within ten minutes of closing time—chatting quietly over their wine. Then they lighted cigars, and as they were going out the younger one came up to me at the counter and asked me if I could tell them where Delaware road was? 1 went out to the door with them and pointed the Wway—it's not far off. They said g0od night and went in that direction.” Together™ asked Jifferdene. “Together:" maid the landlord. We presently went away and walked along Warrington Crescent in quest of Delaware road, which proved to be only a street or two off. It was an eminently respectable looking thor- oughfare, of the type peculiar to that district—solid, stucco-faced little vil- las set in small stone-wall inclosed gardens; nothing in its outward ap- Pearance suggested crime of the mur- derous sort. Yet, as Jifferdene point- ed out, here those two men had come, very late at night, and not three min- utes’ walk away, down by the canal, one of them had been done to death some two hours afterward. . “You'll have to make some search- ing investigations hereabouts, Bi kem,” he remarked, as we stood at a corner looking abaut us. “Holliment and that other man came here to see —somebody! Who?" Birkem took a speculative, discrim- inating glance on all sides of him. “There aren’t so many houses in this road.” he observed. “And every one of "em looks as if folk with bank bal- ances and morocco-bound prayer books lives in 'em!

I can get the names and so on of every resident out of the directory and I can call at every flogr: LBut if they did call on some- ere, t ERERTON at somebody’s not very “You'll have to try your luck,” Jiftordene. “That landlord sai thod two were talking about the turf.

Um!—now supposing he was the man they came to see here last night. As we've or you've seen him hereabouts, be he's living here. Look here! give Birkem a full descrip- tion of him.” 1 gave Birkem as accurate a descrip- tion of Quartervayne as I could, and as 1 remembered him on the Clarence Pier at Portsmouth, and that done Jifferdene and 1 left him and went away. And for | 2 moment I was half-tempted to tell my companion about Neamore, for I was sure that it was Neamore who had been with Holliment at the Warrington Hotel on the previous night and had gone with him to Delaware road. But I thought better—or it may have been worse—of that, determining to say nothing until T had seen Lady Renardsmere, or until something further had developed. I was sorely puzzled—Holliment, Quarter- vayne, Neamore, Lady Renardsmere made a queer combination. . . . Look here !" said Jifferdene, suddenly breaking in on my thought, “the after- noon's not yet over. We'll just go to the Chinese legation in Portiand place—T want to have a word with that Mr. Shen who came with us to see you. If that old sphinx at the Langham won't tell me anything, perhaps Mr. Shen will, in view of Holliment's murder.” We went to Portland place. Mr. Shen received us. He was bland, suave, cour- teous, interested and absolutely inecruta- ble. He agreed with Jifferdene that Hol- liment had doubtless been knifed by the Chinaman whose face I had seen at the window, and who was undoubtedly the man that Mr. Cheng wanted to find. But having agreed, he said no more. “Now, Mr. Shen,” said Jifferdens, wheedingly, “can’t you tell me what it's all about? Why does Mr. Cheng want to find this chap’—whose name he won't give us. Mr. Shen's emooth tones grew silkier than ever. - ““The thing.” he said, “is to find him.” Jifferdene spread out his hands. “Just s0!" he ‘agreed. “But let me ask you—you've got means that we haven't. Have you tried to find him—in the quarters where your countrymen congregate at London—Limehouse, and S0 on? You have’—well, have you had a trace of him? “No!” answered Mr. Shen, promptly enough. “'No trace! Not a word! And— he is & man who is dieflgured—good to entify.” “Then where the devil is he!" ex- claimed Jifferdene. “A Chinaman '—with half his left ear gone'—and as elusive as— - “I think,” interrupted Mr. Shen, quiet- 1y, “he is being carefully sheitered, hid- fleme)' &glls}: lxmomnl;f.l\" I e was out last night, anyway, Tl bet muttered Jifferdene. “Lay a mil- lion to one it was he who knifed Holli~ ment “Yes,” assented Mr. Shen. He smiled blandly through his epectacies. “I think he will knife somebody else yet. Then perhaps you will catch him. Jifferdene stared at him and got up. “Is Mr. Cheng going to tell me why he wants this Tan caught?’ he asked. “Better still, though—do you know, yourself, Mr. Shen? Come, now !"" “Um!” said Mr. Shen. “Good-bye. Yor come and eee me again some time, eh We went off at that, and Jifferdene swore all the way down Portland pl Perhaps it relieved his feeling; anyway he then turned his attention to me. After a little consultation I decided to go to the Howard Hotel, in Norfolk street, for the night, and for my own safety's sake to remain indoors after I had crossed the threshoid. Thither, on parting from Jifferdene, I repaired, dired leisurely, smoked, had a game of bil- liards of two with a fellow guest, and at 11 o'clock went to my room. 1 was just going to begin undressing when a hall porter came up with a note, saying that its sender was waiting downstairs. The note was & roughly twisted scrap of paper, on which two words had been hastily scribbed in pencil: Clarence Pier. 1 went strgight downstairs. There, in a shadowy commer of the hall, stood Quartervayhe. (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) e s Will Have “Texas Night.” ‘Texas night will be observed gt the Washington ‘Wast. ugun Ch Rev.

THE BIRTH ZDF'.;ESUS.—LHKO. .7-20. Golden t: There is born to you this day in the city of David a_Savior, who is Christ the Lord.—Luke, 2.11. American independence was not born in Philadelphia or Mecklenburs, but at Bethlehem, when “in the full- ss of time” the Virgin Mary “brought forth her first-born Son.” It is appropriste upon this Ind pendence Sunday that our study should be focused upon the greatest event of all history. The birth of J sus is not only linked up with the history of the Roman empire, but It is related to all ages. We commence & nine-month series of lessons today upon the life of Jesus, taken from a harmony of the four gospels. Never in all the annals of Christendom has there been u greater realization of the practical value of the Master than today. Recently a well known Amer- ican, whose opportunity to visit the leaders of all faiths has been ex- ceeded by fow men, reported upon his return from a world tour that the leaders in all religions throughout the world had expressed to him their convictions that “there is only one hope for the world peace. It is the promotion of the teachings of Christ. If America is to fulfill her mission among men she is called upon to pro- claim the. angels' message to the shepherds, keeping watch over their flocks in the fields of David. The discord, divisions and differences that separate men and nations are largely due to the fact that the authority of Jesus has not been recognized. The people had no room for the Sav- ior in the inn then, just as today some by their actions prove that they have no consideration for the One whose advent influenced the angel choir to inspire the humble shepherds by their song to investigate the real- ity of His birth. Luke traced with the accuracy of a scientist events to their origin. We owe to his pen the record of the pre- natal days of the Lord. He probably obtained this information from Mary, the Blessed Mother of our Lord, who kept all these experiences in her heart. Although this fundamental fact of Christianity has been the sub- ject of bitter controversy and criti- cism, calm and historical research has - established the fact of Christ's birth. Accidental discoveries have con- firmed the accuracy of Luke as a historian. A manuscript found sev. eral vears ago in an Egyptian ru bish heap proved that Caesar Augus- tus issued an imperial decree for the enrollment of the Roman world every fourteen years. The first of many enroliments was made, as Ram. say has proven, when Quirinus was the military administrator of Syria, making war against Homonades and other foreign foes and not when he was the civil ruler, as Josephus claimed. Several years ago a stone was accidentally "discovered in a Venician wall that confirmed Luke's accuracy. Other confirmations of his bistorical reliability are found in the annals of Tacitus. Rome's success in her colonial pol- icy was due to the fact that she adapted her system of government to Idylwood Services. Kenneth Buker will speak tomor- row at the evening service of the 1dylwood Presbyterian Church, Dr. J. J. Muir Talks. “The Fourth Comrade” is the sub- ject of Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir's sermon at 11_am. tomorrow at Temple Bap- tist Church. At 8 p.m. he will preach on “Lonely Gratitude” Baptism will be administered at the evening serv- ice. 13th Bring Mishaps; Victim ¢'ndaunted By Consolidated Press. MACON, Ga., July 5.—His shop was burned. His arm was broken. His foot was smashed. His eye was put out. Death occurred in his family. All these misfortunes happened to John W. Parham of this city on Fri- day, the 13th. But the next Friday, the 13th, will find Mr. Parham going about his af- fairs as usual. Not a bit superstitious, he predicts that the next “jinx” day will be for him just an ordinary Fri- day. Mr. Parham is a_mechanic. By dint of hard labor, he bullt up a substan- tial little business here in_ the shape of a general repair shop. Friday had never been a jinx in his life until the day when that fateful combination of King Started Cigarette. From the Kansas City Star. Cigarettes began their fashionable career in London a little over forty years ago. Their vogue in this coun- try was later. The occident hap- pened to discover the cigarette when the former King Edward, then Prince of Wales, went out to india on the Serapis in 1878 and stopped at Alex- andia on the way. Up to that time the prince had smoked only oigars, and the fashionable London had fol- lowed his example. At Alexandria he happened to sample the cigarettes of the country and became converted to their charm. When the journey to India was over the prince dropped in at the estab- lishment where he purchased his smoking supplies and told the head of the house that at Alexandria he had smoked Egyptian cigarettes and that he would fain repeat the ex- perience in London, In order to gratify this desire the firm was obliged to send to Egypt to fill the order. No Egyptian manu- facturer of cigarettes was known in London. 8o the order was sent to Shepheard’s Hotel with a request to have it filled somewhere. As a result fifty thousand cigarettes of only fair gumy Were received by the London rm, and the prince took his share of_them. When it became known that Ed: ward was emoking cigarettes every- body else wanted-to follow sult, with the result that the cigarette, to. a large extent, displaced the cigar in the favor of emokers. e A Forgotten Masterpiece.

When for the fourth time Friday and the 13th fell on the same day the suggestion was made to Mr. Parham that he take to his bed and stay there. Instead he went about his work as usual. The result was that a steel filing hit him in the eye, striking the optic nerve, and permanently destroy- ing the sight of that eye. A less stout-hearted man that John Parham might have given up to su- perstitious fears. He didn't. He said it was all a matter of chance that these misfortunes had happened to him on Friday the 13th. He didn't believe he was pursued by any jinx, and he would not let such a thought find lodgment in_his mind, , June 13, 1924. Recall- ing his previous visitations on the 13th, a newspaper in_ Macon sent a reporter to interview Mr. Parham on the night of the 12th. “I'm not going to change my habits a bit tomorrow.” he said. “I'm going to do just as T always do. I don't look for anything out of the ordinary to_happen But he was wrong. Just after he reached his shop on the morning of Friday, June 13, he received a tele- gram telling him that his grand- mother. Mrs. Sarah Parham, of At- lanta, had died. The calendar does not show another Friday, the 13th, for 1924, but an- other is coming some day. What will it mean to John Parham? Nothing,” he says. “This jinx stuff 1s all just foolishness. I'm no more afraid of Friday the 13th than any other day. Nothing will happen next time." SPIRITUALIST.

Herod provided for an enrollment that met the religious convictions and tradi- tions of the Jews by requiring that the census be made by tribes. It brought Mary and Joseph to Beth- lehem for Jesus to be born there in fulfillment of Hicah's prophecy. The Greek shows that theif presence there was a temporary one and that Nasareth was their home. Luke, writing a gospel to prove that Jesus was the Savior of the world, introduced Him to humanity by the humble shepherds, who heard the heavenly singers proclaim the glad tidings of the birth of g Savior. These humble and obscure labore: left their flocks in search for the hrist. whom they found easily through the directions and sign. The swaddling clothes, which may have been embroidered with the marks of David's_house, attested the truthful- ness of the angels’ message and therefore the humble worshipers be- came preachers of the gospel. These poor shepherds, whose social ‘rank was not much above that of slaves, were the first evangelists with their message of cheer and comfort. It is not strange that the Lord, who se- lected the stable for His birthplace and tollers for His first worshippers, should appeal to the struggling mass- es of all nations as their Savior and triend. The angels announced the fact that the babe born in Bethlehem was to be a Savior of the world. The shep- herds feeling their need of a Savior obeyed the first conviction that came to them. Tt moved them to Immediately seek the Lord. Jesus is just as acces- sible to the inquiring soul today as He was when the shepherds found Him and went forth to testify for the Christ. The true believer is marked by his personal experlence and daily testimony of the Lord's redeeming power. Matthew, whose gospel was written to convince the Jewish world that Jesus was the Messiah, ,informs us of the visit of the wise men from the east, who came to Jerusalem in- quiring ‘where the new-born prince could be found. They had been influ- enced by the giean of His star in the east. By following the light of science, _scripture and scholarship they found the babe in the same place where the shepherds had discovered Him. They did not question concern- ing the humbleness of His birth Place, but acting upon the evidence that they had received, worshiped the Christ by presenting unto Him the richest treasures of their lands. In the visit of these two different bands of worshipers we see reflected the appealing power of Christ to men of all nations and ranks. The evi- dence that Jesus is in a reality, a uni- versal Savior is found not only in the records of the Scripture, but in the lives of transformed men, who have experienced the blessing of be- ing saved. Travels in four continents have resulted in the writer meeting men from the ends of the earth. Al- though they have been born in dif- ferent countries and spoke different tongues, and were reared in Qifferent climates and according to different customs, all, who have tried the sal- vation of Jesus have been satisfied. The true bellever proves the reality of his faith by publishing the fact, that he has been with Jesus and been saved, to others. A Christian, who does not testify for Christ better Question his faith. The example of the unknown shepherds ought to en- courage us to proclaim to all men the glad tiding that in _the birth of Jesus, there was born a Savior for all people, who is Christ the Lord.
