Feature Editor By WALTER GLASTON ARY ANN WELLING, brown, buxom and beautiful, cook and housekeeper for Captain Henry Browning, hummed to herself as she hurried up the steps of the palatial MARY ANN WELLING, brown, buxom and beautiful, cook and housekeeper for Captain Henry Browning, hummed to herself as she hurried up the steps of the palatial home of the old retired sea captain and shipping magnate. She had been to a big party over in Oakland the night before and the joy of the occasion had not begun to wear off. Moreover, it was a beautiful morning, singularly free from the fog that so often envelops San Francisco. Although it was barely eight o'clock, the California sun was bathing the earth with its strong yellow rays. The city was just getting into its daily stride and up and down the street could be seen automobiles awaiting the coming of their wealthy owners to go downtown to business. Still humming, the housekeeper unlocked the front door, entered and went back to the kitchen where she was soon busy preparing the morning meal. There was no one to cook for except Captain Browning but he was very particular. An aged bachelor, living absolutely secluded from the world, he yet insisted on everything being perfect about his unnecessarily large and pretentious mansion, and particularly was he fussy about his meals. Mary busied herself set ting the table in the breakfast room and putting the finishing touches on the meal. The captain usually came down to breakfast at nine o'clock and she always made it a point to be ready for him. Nine o'clock arrived and the great colonial clock in the wide hall tolled out the hour. Mary placed the grapefruit in an iced bowl at the captain's place and waited inside the kitchen door until she should hear him come shuffling into the breakfast room. She waited and waited. Soon she wearied of waiting and decided to make use of the time by paring some potatoes for luncheon. As she worked she wondered what Captain Browning was doing. He had never been so late before and she had worked for him for over five years. "Well," she mumbled to herself, "you never can tell what he's liable to do—crazy as he is." Ten o'clock struck. Mary peeped into the breakfast room only to see the captain's chair empty as before. This alarmed her. There must be something the matter. What in the world could it be? Had the captain gone out early for a stroll? No, it couldn't be that because he never took a walk until after breakfast when the sun was high. Then had he died dur- Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S.

Oh, that couldn't be, for a) though past seventy, the captain was hale and hearty as a result of the vigorous outdoor life he had lived in his many years before the mast. Frankly, she was puzzled and alarmed. OMINOUS FOREBODING When the great colonial clock sounded eleven, she decided to go up and knock on his door. He had always warned her never to disturb him but she felt that in this instance she was justified in doing so. The house was quiet as a tomb. The footfalls of the housekeeper sounded hollow and unearthly in the cavernous corridor. With some misgivings clutching at her heart, she toiled up the long flight of curving stairs and walked down the upper hallway to the door of the huge bedroom where the captain slept. Her slight tap brought no response. Then she knocked loudly. The sound echoed through the great building but no reply greeted her. Puzzled, the woman bent over and squinted through the keyhole. She did not like to spy on her employer in this manner but she felt justified in doing so when he was two hours late for breakfast for the first time in five years. With some difficulty she could see the bed. It was un- --- OUR PERFORMING LION DIED LAST NIGHT, SO TROMBONE I WANT YOU AND SAMPSON TO DRESS UP IN HIS SKIN AND GO ON WITH THE ACT.

This thing sitting there in the captain's pajamas and dressing gown was headless! The body sat erect but where the head should have been was nothing but the bloody stump of the neck while the papers and books on the desk were spattered with the life fluid. With a terribly piercing scream Mary tore herself from the door of the study and speeding downstairs with almost the velocity of a bullet, she burst out of the front door and yelled at the top of her voice: "Murder! Murder! Come quick. Captain Browning has been killed!" The cries rang down the quiet residential street. Heads appeared at windows and people came running. Among them was Officer Clancy. the patrolman on the beat. He immediately took charge, rang up headquarters and then went upstairs, forcing the reluctant Mary to go along with him to point out the study. He tried several skeleton keys and when none could open the door, he hurled his huge weight against it. The door, however, was stronger than Clancy. Again and again he tried to break his way in but without success. Then the front door opened and Chief of Police Corrigan and several detectives came up the stairs. Together the officers broke down the door and entered. Hardened in the ways of crime as they were, they stepped back in horror and amazement at what they saw. There sat the headless corpse of Captain Browning. His right hand yet graspo White Teeth Do It!

What could he have been doing that he had not slept in his bed? A queen feeling; a premonition of danger swept over her. Quickly she turned the doob knob attending to enter, but the door would not budge. It was locked! Adjoining the captain's bedroom was his library and study, a great room, paneled in oak, its walls and shelves lined with curios the old ship master had collected on his many voyages. There, surrounded by his books and notes, the sea captain wrote for many hours every day on his memoirs of a half century at sea. "Probably," Mary surmised, "he is in there." Suiting action to thought, she went to the next door down the hallway and knocked. No answer. She knocked louder. Still no answer. Again she peeped through the key-hole. THE HEADLESS HORROR. The sight she saw froze her to the spot. Strangely fascinated, she gazed for a full thirty seconds. There in the great chair, facing the door and with the long library table in front of him, sat the captain. But was Are Viennese Beauties More Fascinating than American Girls?

Not a chair was overturned and apparently not a single thing had been disturbed. A search of the drawers of his desk disclosed several hundred dollars in currency and at least a half dozen monstrous pearls. Evidently robbery had not been a motive. The windows were locked tight and they found the key to the study door in the captain's pocket. POLICE BAFFLED. The officers went over the entire house carefully but after several hours they had to admit that they were stumped. Every door was locked and Miss Welling, the housekeeper, had sworn that she found the front door locked, as usual, when she had come to work that morning. "Well I'll be dogged," Chief Corrigan exclaimed. "This is the darnest case I've ever run across. Here's an old fellow with plenty of money, somebody kills him but don't rob him, although there's a fortune within their reach." "And they have to go an' cut off his head and take it with 'em.' added one of the detectives. "I can't make nothing of that. What did they want to take his head for? And how did they get it out of the house when all of the doors were In these days, persons who believe in sacrificing human flesh for religious deities are very rare.

That was what puzzled the entire city. For a week the entire detective force of the city worked on the case but at the end of that time they had obtained not a single clue. The newspapers, as usual, were clamoring for action. Here was one of the most wealthy and famous citizens of San Francisco beheaded in the quiet of his study and not a single arrest had been made after a whole week. It was demanded that something be done immediately or a call would be made by the leading citizens for a shakeup in the police department. Chief Corrigan was plainly worried. His best detectives had failed him. He himself had been unable to find a single clue or motive for the crime. The Chamber of Commerce had offered a reward of $10,000 for information leading to the capture of the murderer or murderers, but as yet no information had been submitted from any source whatever. He had been warned confidentially that if he failed to solve this case he would lose his position. Just then an orderly came in. "Chief, there's a colored man out here to see you about the Browning murder case." DARRINGTON APPEARS. Corrigan jumped. "Show him in." fact, so rare that very few people believe thm to exist. Yet in 1929, a 20th Century mother, Mrs. Iris Brown of Pacific street in Brooklyn, N. Y., became so enthused and imbued with her religious beliefs that she cruelly sacrificed her own child on an altar of cremation in the furnace of her home. The birth, life and death of Mrs. Brown's eight weeks old infant was shrouded in religious mystery. The child had been christened Faith by the mother, and treated as though it was to be the immediate messenger of the mother to heaven. The child had always been dressed in white and kept immaculately clear in order to merit its well-planned and early entrance into the pearly gates. On the day of the cruel tragedy the fanatical mother performed peculiar religious rites over the doomed infant, called the rest of her child- GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION: ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHIE GASES - NAUSEA Excess acid is the common cause of indigestion.

Well. I'll see, anyway. Can't afford to take chances now." The door opened and a tall, stern-looking black man, with slightly graying hair entered the room. The chief waved him to a chair on the other side of his desk. The Negro sat down gravely and without haste. "My name is Donald Darrington," he began. "Known to police in many cities as 'One Day' Darrington because on several occasions I have solved difficult cases in less than twenty-four hours. I was connected with the Chicago police department for about fifteen years but for the last two or three years I have been living out here on the Coast taking it easy. They discovered oil on one of my farms in Oklahoma so I decided to quit the police business." "Well," Chief Corrigan interrupted, "what's that got to do with this case? I've heard of you, Darrington, and know about your record. If you can help us, all right, but if not I'm too busy to hold any conversation." Darrington smiled indulgently.

The helpless infant was then ceremoniously wrapped in "heavenly" garb and placed carefully in a furnace of red leaping flames. Its tiny body was quickly consumed and the remains were found by one of Mrs. Brown's relatives, who marvelled at this procedure having noticed no other peculiarities in the fanatical mother's behaviour. Later the police were summoned and Mrs. Brown was placed under arrest charged with homicide. She is also being observed for traces of religious insanity. It is reported that several others in sophisticated Brooklyn have indulged in this orgy of human sacrifice under some unknown religious belief.

A ```markdown ``` are forests, jungles and damp low- lying spots, the disease has taken a heavy toll. Some idea of the virulence of the disease can be gathered from the fact that in 1891. Captain F. D. Lugard the British army took about 300 Sudanese soldiers and as many camp followers from the Congo forest area where the disease abounds into Uganda, where it was hardly known at the time. In less than eight years nearly a half million Negroes in Uganda died from the horrid malady. The stalwart blacks died in drove all over Africa and the white colonizers stood aghast and helpless. The whites were not immune. They were attacked by the disease and died horrible deaths along with the blacks. The malady also attacked cattle, and great herds wasted away. Nagana is very similar in its symptoms to the disease of cattle in this country known as "Texas fever." Strange to say, it has been reported by scientists that "sleeping sickness" is harder on white people in Africa than on natives. If Caucasians catch the disease and are not treated they almost invariably succumb. Out of every 100 cases, 25 recover completely. 25 die, while 50 are left with various ailments as a result of the disease's ravages, and at least half of that number are forever afflicted with what is known as "frozen face," that is the total absence of facial expression. In this latter ailment, the victims' faces become set like a grotesque mask. The "sleeping sickness" first shows its presence and activity by swelling of the glands behind the neck, a condition which is accompanied by irregular and intermittent fever The germs, however, may have been in the body for a considerable period before any symptoms of the disease show themselves.

S THERE no way to stop the ravages of "sleeping sickness," that dread African disease that is rapidly spreading throughout the United States? Must America, the greatest country in the world today stand helpless before the onrush of this horrible malady which leaves in its wake a trail of corpses, disordered bodies, broken minds and wrecked nervous systems? Is science going to be able to halt its disastrous course in the land of white people? These are the questions that Prof. Adrian Scolten of the University of Wisconsin, under the direction of the Wisconsin State Psychiatric Institute and Prof. William F. Lorens of the neuro-psychiatry department of the university medical school, have set out to answer. They have issued the following statement which is certainly disturbin : "Perhaps no disease in the short span of 12 years has wrought so great a havoc, covered the world so quickly or left so many disabled persons looking forward to death as a deliverance from a life of misery. It is in truth a living death. "At the present time there are thousands of persons suffering from the ravages of this disease in the United States, although only a few hundred new cases are discovered and reported to the state health departments each year." These scientists report that there are over 1,000 cases of "sleeping sickness" in the state of Wisconsin alone, while the city of Chicago, Illinois, reported over 30 new cases in 1928. The number of cases reported to the authorities is only a fraction of the total number of the people who are suffering from the dread disease, because many people who have it do not know that they have it.

SPREAD BY TSETSE FLY "Sleeping sickness" is a parasitic germ disease. There are many species of this germ. It is so minute that it can only be seen with the aid of a very powerful microscope. The species which attacks animals was first discovered in a frog by Dr. Graby in 1847. In 1830 Griffith Evans found it in horses in India.

In 1923 Dr. Casteland found the germ in the bodies of patients afflicted with the "sleeping sickness." In June, 1907, an international conference was held by scientists in London to organize research on the subject. Something had to be done. Thousands of Negroes and Caucasians in Africa were afflicted with the malady and deaths were mounting to alarming figures. In some districts of equatorial Africa there were so many sufferers that practically all work had to be suspended. At this conference Lord Fitzmaurice, a famous British surgeon, pointed out that sleeping sickness caused the disease and that the parasite was conveyed by the "tsetse fly. This germ is roughly spindle shaped and inhabits mud and water in very hot countries. It can, however, live in an organism anywhere. Not only can it live, but it can multiply. When the germ enters the blood stream it darts bout rapidly between the red corpuscles or particles and shows rapid undulations. In its center is a red spot while a membrane running along one edge is also red. The manner of becoming infected with this virulent parasite is indirect: that is to say, human or an animal cannot get infected without the agency of some blood-sucking fly like the tsetse. Now there are eight species of tsetse fly, but only one carries the germ. It is somber in color and is about a quarter of an inch long. It affects a belt from ten to thirty yards broad along the banks bounding water shaded by scrub and underbrush. It may, however, be carried 300 yards by an animal or human being it has attacked. It is restricted to a very narrow zone in Africa, and thrives on the blood of healthy human beings. The "sleeping sickness" germ finds lodement in such wild animals as waterbuck, reedbuck and other animals of the tropical regions. They become infected and the tsetse fly sucks blood from them with its poisonous fangs. The germs multiply in the fly's abdomen and enter the salivary glands. After 48 hours the fly is infected and becomes a carrier. From thence or ward during the life of the fly (about 96 days) any human or animal it stings for blood is infected with the germs in its salivary glands. HOW DID IT ENTER AMERICA? While it is well known by what agency this dread disease enters the bodies of black and white men in Africa, American scientists are puzzled over how it got to America and by what biting fly it is conveyed from infected animals to man. The tsetse fly is a native of Africa and can hardly survive in the colder climate The woman who includes St.Joseph's G.F.P. in her daily health program seldom finds that dull headaches, lack of "pcp" and quick fatigue ruin her hours of recreation.

No detailed scientific work has ever been done in this region and it is hoped to be able to gather information that will throw much light on the ancient culture of this territory. The expedition, known as the Rawson-Field Museum expedition to West Africa, has been arraigned and sponsored by Frederick H. Rawson, a prominent Chicago banker, for that purpose, and will leave shortly. BENIN, CULTURED CITY Among the places visited will be the ancient Negro kingdom of Benin and its capital, Benin City. At one time Benin City was the center of a great African culture about which travelers wrote enthusiastically. It was visited by the first European, Dioga Carn, a Portuguese merchant, in 1484. The city is located in southern Nigeria. While the shores have always been treacherously dangerous, the interior is healthful. The principal exports are palm oil and other tropical products. Benin was placed under British protectorate in 1885, but for a long time England's control was not complete because of the indomitable will of the King of Benin. Up until the time of its capture by the 'British, the Kingdom of Benin had been in existence since time immemorial; its kings were very rich and ruled with an iron hand. In 1553 the English, with three ships, visited it for the first time. In 1553 the English described the king of Benin as "a black Moor or Negro who spoke Portuguese very fluently." Trade between the kingdom of Benin and the white merchants grew very rapidly. They very willingly exchanged hides, elephants' teeth, pepper, palm oil and lumber. HUMAN SACRIFICES At this time the capital city of Benin is described as a magnificent city, surrounded by a high, awe-inspiring wall which was entered through a huge gate. The Dutch explorer, Dantsic, in describing the black metropolis speaks "an enormous broad street running through the city and other great streets running off it—so long that it as impossible to see the end of them." He states that the king's court was very imposing, with many soldiers, gentlemen, courtiers, nobles and slaves. The king at that time had 600 beautiful wives and each one of his nobles had from 80 to 90. The black aristocrats came to court riding on fine horses, with a personal servant on each side and a slave on either side sporting a huge shield aspicce, which were held over the noble's head to ward off the fierce rays of the sun. Other slaves—musicians—marched in front of the nobles, frantically beating drums and playing upon other weird instruments. Benin was said to have been a place of human sacrifices. Dutch and English traders who visited the city were amazed at their peculiar customs. Nevertheless, in other respects, these people were lightly civilized, since they worked cleverly in ivory, iron and wood. The civilized world hearing of the bloody human sacrifices at Benin City, representatives were sent to the place in hopes of putting a stop to the practice. They discovered, however, that the kingdom was much too strongly entrenched for the English or any other nation to dictate to it. While the guests of the king the representatives were forced to dance before him to the music played by the king's musicians. FINALLY CONQUERED When the City of Benin had degenerated to a mere shadow of itself a shrewd English official visited it and duped it into becoming a protectorate of Queen Victoria. The decline of Benin was ironically enough due to the suppression of the slave trade, which was formerly its chief source of wealth. Nevertheless the City of Benin was still a powerful place and much wealth came to the king from his subjects.

The great god, or ruling spirit, was called Juju, and was represented by his chief servant, the king. The king ruled by a divine right which none of his subjects, high or low, attempted to questoin. Whenever an elephant was shot the king received the prize tusk. The tusks were very rarely sold, being used by the artists of the city in making grotesque gods and other decorations. The king also received a certain quota of slaves, large numbers of whom were to be sacrificed to angry gods, just as the Aztecs of Mexico used to sacrifice human beings to their gods before their (Continued on page ten) HOW TO KEEP WELL There are two processes continually taking place in your body. One is the building up of your BONE, BLOOD, NERVE and TISSUE, the other is the carrying off of the waste matter and impurities. For every ounce of food you eat or liquid you drink, there is almost an ounce of waste matter that should be eliminated by the way of your KIDNEYS and BOWELS. If your LIVER and KIDNEYS fail to do their duty, portions of this waste matter remain in your stomach and intestines where they ferment, sour and decay, causing INDIGESTION, SOUR STOMACH, KIDNEY TROUBLE, etc. These impurities are also taken up by your blood and carried to all parts of your system, causing a general run-down condition and IMPURE BLOOD.

DISEASES WHERE are on the market at the present time in this country various lotions which are advertised to make Negroes white. These lotions are widely sold, and it is generally known that many of them will actually lighten skin. Needless to say, chemists have been busy for many years trying to invent or discover something that will lighten dark skins permanently. Up to the present time they have been unsuccessful. If such an invention or discovery could be placed on the market the person or persons behind it would make a fortune almost over night. It is interesting to note that what science has been unable to do, Nature has done on numerous occasions. In standard medical books there are cited cases where the offspring of two black parents has been born whiter than any so-called white person, and there are quite a number of cases where people who have been born black have turned completely white during their lifetime. Where Negroes, the offspring of full-blooded Negroes, have been born completely white, it is called albinism. These albinos are a pinkish or milky white color with very sandy hair and pinkish eyes. They are unable to see well in a strong light and their eyelids are always fluttering. These albinos have not only been found among Negroes in this country but even in Africa, where they are often looked upon as being possessed of the devil. Albinos often appear, also, among so-called white people, where, however, they do not present such a contrast to the rest of the population. There is a disease called Vitiligo, which afflicts both whites and Negroes, though it attacks Negroes more often than white folks and is more conspicuous on a dark skin. Not long ago news reports told of a black man in Boston, Mass., who had turned almost completely white, due to the ravages of this disease. It is an acquired disease, character- Romantic Drea —Says Ex EDITOR'S NOTE: Miss Effa Danielson, of the Occult Digest, has kindly consented to explain the scientific significance of any dreams which our readers may experience.

There first appear little white or pinkish spots on various parts of the body. These spots are smooth, being neither sunken or raised above the level of the skin. Around their borders the real pigment is darker than elsewhere. The hair in these spots gradually turns white along with the skin. The victim remains in good health and is perfectly normal in every way, except for occasional nervous disturbances. Usually these spots appear on the backs of the hands, and on the neck, face, scalp and other parts of the body. Sometimes they are hereditary but usually they are acquired after the 10th and before the 30th year. In the Louisville Medical News in 1880, a Dr. Hall tells of a mulatto who, with the exception of a part of the chin and a few small patches on the hands, turned completely white through the gradual expansion of these spots until they ran into eahc other and eliminated the dark coloring. Stelwagon in his "Diseases of the Skin" states that there are many instances where black Negroes have permanently turned white, and points out that once the pigment is removed in this manner it never returns. The exat cause of Vitiligo is unknown, but it is more frequent in tropical countries and in the dark races. It occurs generally in adults and affects males and females alike. It has been known to be associated with malaria and eruptive fevers such as migraine, alopecia, areata, scleroderma, Addison's disease and Graves' diseases. It has also been known to follow exposure to extremes of heat or cold, or local injuries. While these factors have little in common, they are all followed we are together. He has promised me a ring.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION by derangement of the nervous system and it is thought that the cause of Vitiligo is associated with this. When the spots appear, ill-health from any cause is apt to lead to further increase in the number and size of them. Neurotic people are especially susceptible to Vitiligo. In rare instances the spots have been known to appear after a Negro has been very badly scared or shocked in some way. There is no known cure for Vitiligo. The spots have sometimes been reduced in size when the patient's general health has been improved or when treated with a certain mixture of arsenic. In general, however, the only thing that can be done is to paint the spots with walnut stain or a weak solution of iodine. Of late years many medical authorities have come to believe that the suprarenal gland has something to do with the disease. If this is true, may it not be possible for science of the future to learn how to treat the suprarenal gland in such a way as to cause the skin of a Negro to turn white? Who can tell? The wonders of science are many and in this day of wireless telephony, television and talking movies, who can say what the morrow will bring forth? Before another 10 years pass wise men of science may find a way to turn all Negroes white! For those Negroes who may want to have a white skin for reasons best known to themselves, there is a big fly in the ointment. While Vitiligo is a rare disease, it also takes fifteen or twenty and possibly 30 or 40 years for a victim to turn completely white. And then there are likely 'o be one or two dark spots on the body. Many of the "spotted" or "leopard" people one sees in the side shows of our big circuses are victims of Vitiligo, and while they have been exhibited for years there are very few instances in which any one of them has turned completely white. So, until science finds some way to cause Vitiligo and then learns to expedite its course all Negroes will will to be satisfied with their normal color, even though they whiten up temporarily.

How many people know that there is a steam-heated river in the United States? Yes, a river artificially heated by steam! Well, there is such a stream. Along the East river in New York city are nine electric light and power plants. In order to condense the steam after it has done its work, the great turbines require about four hundred tons of cooling water for every ton of coal burned under the boilers. As the plants consume something like a thousand tons of coal an hour, and as the temperature of the water is raised about 25 degrees during the five minutes that it stays in the plant, it is obvious that the effect on the river is considerable. This tremendous supply of warm water poured back into the East river A. "Dad you got ev says MAR And the way Mary tells it would burn your toast!

When I question him about it he denies it but I have noticed no avcids speaking of marriage now. It will break my heart to lose him and if I leave here without him I am sure I will never see him again. Stop trying to hold him and maybe you will hold him better. Do not question him as if you were jealous and fearful of losing him. Have a frank talk with him and tell him you are sincerely interested in his happiness. Tell him that if he loves the other girl that you want him to forget that he asked you to marry him and to go to her. That it would never do for you to marry him if you possess only half of his heart. Be candid and quite calm. Tell him that you love him but that you would not want him to be unhappy and would prefer to sacrifice yourself to having him so. This is the sensible way, I believe, for you to look at it. If he is really crazy about the other woman he would keep thinking of her even after he married you and make you unhappy. But if he loved you at first and is only mildly interested in the other woman your frankness and sincerity will win him back. He will consider himself very fortunate to be loved so unselfishly.

When he and his men defeated the enemy and raided a town, on one occasion, he lopped off the leg of one of the healthy prisoners and, waving it under the nose of his proud parent, said: "Come father; have a bit."

But King Duboar, the reigning monarch, always sent a polite message that the annual ceremonies were being held and that it would be a good idea to wait a couple of months. A powerful expedition, consisting of 240 native carriers and nine white men, started for the city. About half way to the City of Benin, the expedition was met by a delegation of three high priests, sent by the king with orders to the British expedition to go no farther. But the British, being determined, refused to listen to the Beni priests or to friendly native chiefs, who continually warned them against attempting to visit the bloody religious metropolis. Finally King Duboar, having no other alternative, ordered out his army and, ambushing the expedition in the dense forest, killed seven of the whites and slaughtered a large number of the carriers. Five weeks later the British punitive expedition captured the City of Benin after days of the most horrible warfare. The Beni were brave foes. They had a large number of guns and considerable ammunition, besides two or three cannon. But the superior armament and skill of the highly trained British army won. The city was deserted. The king, despite custom, had fled with all of his priests and courtiers. The sight that met the eyes of the conquerors was at once amazing and appalling. Benin City they discovered to be a large rambling town, 1½ miles long and 1 mile wide. It was divided into two parts by a broad avenue, with the king's and chiefs' compounds on the south side and the houses of the lesser chiefs and common people on the north side. There were several Juju compounds, two or three acres in extent, where the human sacrifices were performed before vast audiences. These compounds were surrounded by very hard mud walls that the British had difficulty in blowing up afterwards. At the end of each spite his record, he knew that the chief had little confidence in his ability. "Well," he began, "you folks certainly need help. I've been reading a lot about this case and it doesn't seem so difficult to me. Just give me the proper credentials and authority to go over the house and look through Captain Browning's papers and I'm quite sure I can have some interesting information for you within the next day or so." CHIEF DOUBTS DARRINGTON. Corrigan pondered a minute. There was no time to waste. Maybe this fellow might uncover something. Any port in a storm like this. "All right," he told Darrington, "I'll deputize you and see what you can do. If you can find out anything you'll be doing awhole lot more than we have done." Darrington rose. "Now," he said, "I must ask you to say nothing about me to the newspapers or any of the detectives except the men who are assigned to this case. I must have no interference with my work. Tomorrow about this time I shall probably have something to work on. Let me have a badge now and I'll get busy." Marveling at this Negro's calm assurance, Corrigan provided him with a badge and all necessary credentials. With a smile Donald Darrington bowed himself out and strode hurriedly from the station house. Walking briskly to the curb, he stepped into his roadster and in a few minutes drew up in front of the Browning residence.

Chicago III. compound were the altars of the gods—carved ivory ausks upright on hideous bronze heads. In front of each god was a small earthen mound on which the forehead of each victim was placed. On the altars were carved maces for killing the victims. In the corners of the compounds were huge pits of 40 to 50 feet deep into which the dead and dying victims were thrown together. The palace of the king, like all of the buildings, was elaborately carved and decorated with stamped brass. In the king's compound were discovered several hundred unique valuable bronze plaques of really superb casting, closely suggesting Egypt workmanship. This work was of wonderful delicacy, as were the magnificently carved elephant tusks. There were beautiful ivory bracelets and magnificent ivory leopards, bronze group, of idols and stools of very ancient manufacture. In fact, there was practically nothing of modern date, which shows that the old glory of Benin had long since departed. The conquering Britons found Benin City to be a very beautiful town. On the outskirts they found the remains of a bridge of very fine workmanship. Strangely enough, they found only one blacksmith shop in this great city, noted for its great art. In going about the town it was discovered that the houses were all grouped into compounds, with much space between as parks. The most appalling sight that met the eyes of the invaders, however, was the evidence of the recent Juju ceremonies. Sacrificed bodies were everywhere, on trees and in the grass, in various states of decomposition. So terrible was the odor of all of these putrid bodies that many of the British were made ill. Human limbs were found scattered indiscriminately about and in many places the grass was red with blood. Many unfortunate, not yet dead, were pulled from among the corpses. One boy, horribly mutilated, was pulled from a pit full of corpses, where he had managed to keep alive for three days! Benin today is a peaceful country engaged in agricultural pursuits and Benin City is the seat of the British administrator. The country is ruled over by a council of chiefs presided over by a British resident. There is no more bloodshed nor horrible human sacrifices at religious festivals in honor of the great god Juju. glanced at him suspiciously and barred the way until the black detective showed his credentials. Then stepping aside respectfully, he let Darrington pass. DARRINGTON AT WORK. As soon as the Negro entered the room, he whipped out his magnifying Cass and went carefully over every article of furniture, every bookcase and every curio in it. He stood up on chairs and studied the long shelves that ran around the room about six feet above the floor.

He then abruptly seated himself in the same chair where the headless body had been found. From that position he gazed long and hard at the door which now hung shattered on its broken hinges. Turning around in the chair he then glanced behind him.
