Rita Irvin shuddered slightly and drew her furs more closely about her shoulders. “Shall we change the conversation, "|dear?” whispered Margaret. “No, please,” said Rita “You cannot imagine how curious I am to learn the true details—for, as Monte says, we have been out of touch with things and neither of us really knows the inner history of the fair to this day. Of course, we know that Kazmah was a dummy figure, posed in the big ebony chair. He never moved, except to raise his) hand, and this was done by someone seated in the inner room behind the figure. But who was seated there?” Seton glanced inquiringly at his wife, and she nodded, smiling. “Righto™ he said. “If you will excuse me for ® moment I will get my notes.

I cannot say if Sir Lu- cien was aware from the outset of his affair with La Belle that she was a married woman. But it is certain that her husband, Sin Sin Wa, very early learned of the in- trigue, and condoned it. “How Sir Lucien came to get into the clutches of the pair I do not jknow. 1 think, personally, that fopium was probably responsible. For Sin Sin Wa appears throughout in the charactor of a drug dealer. “These three people really become interesting from the time that La Belle Lola quitted the stage and joined her husband in the conducting of a concern in Buenos Ayres, which was the parent, if I may use the term, of the Kazmah business later established in Bond st.

Thereupon the affair waa reorganized on the lines later adopted in Hond st Kazmah's became a secret dope-shop, and an nexed to it was an elaborate chandu khan, conducted by the Chinaman. Mrs. Sin was the go-between. “You are all waiting to hear—or, to be exact, two are walting to hear, Gray and Margaret already know— who spoke as Kazmah through the [little window behind the chair, The deep-voiced speaker was Juan |Mareno, Mra, Sin's brother!

Sir Luclen—at this time plain Mr. Pyne—several times came home and lived in London and else- wher® like a millionaire. There is no doubt, I think, that he was seek ing a suitable opportunity to estab ish a London branch of the busi ness. “With the ingenious financial de- tails of the concern, which were conducted in the style of the ‘Jone Santos Company,’ I need not trouble you now. We come to the second period, when the flat in Alberrgarie st. and the two offices in Old Bond #t. were leased by Mareno, acting on | Sir Lucien’s behalf, and calling him self sometimes Mr. Ieaacs, some times Mr. Jacobs, and at other times merely posing as a representative of the Jose Santos Company, in some other name, “All went well. The concern had ample capital, and was organized by clever people, Sin Sin Wa took up quarters in Limehouse; they had actually boughtyhalf the house in one entire street as well as a wharf! | And Sin Sin Wa brought with him the good-will of an illicit drug busi- ness which already had almost as sumed the dimensions of a control. “Sir Luclen's household was a mere bluff. He rarely entertained at home,, and lived himself entirely at restaurants and clubs. The private entrance to the Kazmah house of business was the back window of the Cubanis Cigaret Company's office.

Many are the methods of curing tires, but this is much the greatest in cost; yet with our single cure process it permits a tougher tread to be applied to our tire than is possible by any other method. Our tread stock is shaped in a mighty press before it is applied to the tire, making it a compact piece of tubber. Our open steam cure vulcanizes it into a tough, wear-resisting tread---tougher than is possible on molded tires, where the rubber must be soft enough to flow and shape to the contour of the mold while being vulcanized. Our hearts are filled with a great pride in the fact that, the “Savage” tread is noted and classed as one of the best wearing treads on the highways of America. My people have built our “Savage” “D” Type to excel all other fabric tires on the market. It ts the big, handsome, flexible, over-size, hand-built casing that has caused so many of you to lift up your voices*and proclaim it “The best fabric tire in America”. Its tough tread is but one of many reasons for the wonderful service it is giving to satisfied users throughout the land. ( SALUTE YOU, O MOTORISTS! LITTLE HEAP HAS SPOKEN.
