Seeks Buried Treasure for 7 Years, Things back that far are rather dim, and the best and most alert minds are apt to become a trifle confused about the sequence of happenings. It is especially difficult to make a chronology of them, if there happens to be nothing save a few vague written descriptions. Anyhow, Ray, straightening out the matter to the best of his ability, found the following data to work on. Alex Worth Tansey had described in a sprightly fashion how he alone had committed five murders, slaying the people that were found in his covered wagon. He had been working in Kansas, where he had fallen in company with his victims. He had been traveling with them to his home in Iowa." He was short of funds, and at Burr Oak Grove, he had wiped them all out to get possession of their team, wagon and an Enoch Arden tobacco box that was filled with gold coins which one of the men carried. They had found Tansey, after running across the abandoned wagon, smoking his pipe with his back to the bole of a tree. It seems that he had abandoned the wagon in the wrong place. And soon they had finished Alex Worth Tansey, to their complete satisfaction. If they didn't, it was their own fault, because who can deny that they had the necessary opportunity. Anyhow, they were too intent on that A boat from Tansey's day on Ghost Woman Creek, near where Ray unearthed the tobacco can. Illustrated Feature Section W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Freign Advertising Representatives S EVEN years ago Rex Ray, investigator of buried treasure stories, and who has solved some very old mysteries connected with the past, antecedent to the automobile and the giving way of the horse and buggy, started out to find what had become of the buried gold coins that a celebrated criminal had left behind him. And all during those seven years, the hard working, energetic fortune seeker, kept busy. He must have made at least a thousand excavations, and must have shoveled a million yards of dirt, all by himself, afraid to take anybody in on his secret. It wasn't exactly a secret. The fact of the matter is, it was anything except a secret. When they hanged Tansey on Ghost Woman Creek, near Clearmont, Missouri, they didn't think to inquire of their victim as to what he had done with the gold he had obtained by a series of murders. They were too excited, and when it was all over, they found that the secret of the hiding place of fifty-five thousand dollars in gold coins, had died with the culprit. That took place—the hanging of Tansey, in the later part of the 90's, just about the time when Enoch Arden tobacco, was hitting its stride, and the money was buried by Tansey in one of those old-time cans, which measured four inches in length, two wide, and two deep. But it was large enough to contain a whole raft of money, and besides, if Tansey didn't put all the booty in that, it was quite likely that he put some of it in the hole loose. He certainly had fifty-five thousand M dollars. There is no disputing that.

And when they forgot that money, they made someone rich. It is not known exactly who. However, the empty tobacco can in the hole Ray excavated at the foot of a huge cottonwood tree, bears silent testimony that someone was made wealthy. But Ray proved that he didn't find the buried gold. He proved it in a very simple and direct way. There were several people fishing that afternoon, while Ray was working hurriedly in a clump of trees to finish his task; and one of the men in the fishing party recognized him, seeing him from a distance, where his screen was not quite efficient. Results: The whole party joined him. But there was a reason for that, and not exactly one of curiosity. Mainly the reason appertained to fishing worms.

They asked him what he was doing there. He replied that he had been dig- try, the favorite fish bait consisted of worms. Therefore, when Ray was observed digging frantically within sight of the creek, those people naturally thought he was digging fishing worms. Of course they didn't know that he was digging for the express purpose of unearthing fifty-five thousand dollars. If they had been aware of that, they wouldn't have horned in until he had struck paydirt. They were all society folk of the county seat, and the ladies were togged in ultra fashion, regardless of the uncouthness of the spot. Anyhow, they were known far and wide for being good, clean, and honest people; and when they said that Ray unearthed nothing more than a tobacco can filled with old paper which was yellow with age, they meant exactly that.

The men kicked through the loose black dirt, but found, as he said, that there were no worms. One of the men remarked that he had gone pretty deep just find worms, and looked significantly at him. Ray, however, laughed this off. Nevertheless, he knew that the man who had made the remark suspected him of having another purpose so he went on with his digging. If he had desisted then and there the other man would have felt that his suspicions had been confirmed. And then Ray uncovered the ancient tin tobacco box. "What's that?" one of the men asked. "I don't know," Ray declared convincingly. "But it looks very much like an ordinary tin box." They carried it to the light, where the trees did not hide the sun, and examined it. It proved to be the Enoch Arden Tobacco Box that Tansey had described at such great length, in almost this same spot many years before. Ray's heart sank. After seven years of almost incessant toil, he had received nothing in the way of reward save bitter disappointment. He stood there heartsick. "Gosh," said one of them, "that sure is an old-time box. Enoch Arden. Why, I can remember that tobacco when I was a kid. They didn't have many tin cans in those days, especially for tobacco, and the brand sort of stamped itself in my mind.

After 7 Years of Careful and Extensive Search, Missouri Fortune Hunter Unearths the Tin Tobacco BoxThat was Supposed to Contain the Fortune, Only to Find Blank Paper-But he has Started a Wave of Treasure Seekers. Ray's disappointment was too great for much conversation, and he kept his thoughts to himself. Besides the time and money he had spent seeking the buried treasure, he had built his hopes so high that he was completely buried in the mass of smoldering ruins. All his dream castles lay in dust at his feet. However, he kept the box. And then he told his story. Seven years before, recently married, he had run across an account of the Tansey case in an old newspaper, which told of Tansey's description of the box containing the buried coins. Inquiry had gleaned for him the fact that nobody had any record of the money ever having been found. Although this was strange, it was not implausible. He credited the stories that he had heard from the old people who had spent their lifetime in the community. Nobody had ever reported even trying to find the money. There were quite a few who considered this part of Tansey's confession as rather a joke. They thought Tansey had committed the crimes for the purpose of getting hold of the team and wagon belonging to his victims, and had made up the money part of the story. They didn't believe that part of it was true, a great many didn't. However, when Ray, after sticking so long with his purpose and having the courage of his convictions revealed the exact Enoch Arden to- (Continued on page six) THE CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery By Cora Jean Moten The Well-Known Serial Writer August 17. 1929 SYNOPSIS THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF GRUESOME MURDERS IN SELWYN HOUSE. They have occurred in the octagonal tower room, a mysterious addition to the house. It was built by old Ezra Selwyn years before, on his return from a tragic stay in Haiti where his young bride, Mary, has been lost in the voodoo infested jungles. The tragedy has made him an eccentric recluse. He lives in the house alone save for his two Haitian servants, Diaren and his wife, Meme. Ezra himself is the first one murdered. Each murder is preceded and followed by the sound of some huge reptilian body being dragged over an uneven surface. But there are no entrances to the room large enough to admit such a body and no apparent hiding places. The bodies have disappeared one by one until the last one, the giantess detective, Alene Hardmore, who is killed in an effort to investigate the mystery. Her body is watched by detective Tom Frederick and his friend and co-worker, Alec Jones, until the undertaker, Al Jarton, comes for it. But—the next day that body is stolen from the undertaking establishment, presumably by Garland Selywyn, a nephew of the elder man, whose mother is a Haitian voodoo priestess. The bodies have all been scaled; and, after the mysterious disappearance of old Meme's body, an Indian scalping knife is found with a few strands of long black hair attached to its blood-stained blade. Detective Frederick and Al Jarton subsequently interviewed Diaron, who attributes the Selwyn mystery to Zombies, which he claims are supernatural beings which often act in this manner. Diaron is no sincere in his belief that this will account for the Selwyn house murders, that detective Frederick and Al Jarton regard the tale very carefully. In the meantime, it is discovered that Garland Selwyn has suddenly left the Beal House on Maine street, where he had been lodging. Detective Frederick and Al Jarton then make an appointment with Alec Jonas to confer at the Beal House. The three of them meet there in order to find out more about the suspicious movements of Garland Selwyn. INSTALLMENT IX I T WAS not until Annie had deposited our small pots of black tea on the white cloth of the table and departed, that Alec attempted to impart any of the information that he had gleaned in the last half hour. When the flirting folds of her perky blue skirt flitted out of sight beyond the closing door leading into the hall, he turned to us gravely and spoke. "There's something queer about this Selwyn guy," he said, "and still queerer about his goings on, if I'm not mistaken." "Yes?" I questioned quietly, at the same time laying a quieting hand on Jarton's eagerly excited arm that was almost flapping with his desire to put in a word of agreement with the conclusion expressed by Alec. Alec sent a look of questioning expectancy in the undertaker's direction at the motion. "Never mind him, Alec," I said, "his excitement is perfectly legitimate, but it will keep. What have you found out?" "Just this," Alec drew a short breath and looked around sharply. His keen eyes swept every nook and corner of the room. Annie was still out in the kitchen Do You Want Some EXTRA MONEY? Look Over Our Classified Ads On Page 11 where we heard the subdued murmur of her voice as she talked to Mrs. Beal, the proprietress and occupant of the Beal House. Satisfied with his scrutiny Alec reached in his pocket and fumbled for an instant. And then held out toward me a small closely folded packet about an inch square. I took it and shook it out. It was a small, irregular bit of yellowed linen. We looked across at each other. The gravity in our eyes was unmistakable. Automatically I reached into my breast pocket and took out another folded bit of cloth wrapped in a piece of tissue paper. Carefully I unfolded it and laid it on the table beside the piece that Alec had handed me. They were identical in texture and coloring. Al Jarton leaned forward with a gasp that could no longer be suppressed. "Gosh!" he iterated. His eyes were big with surprise. I felt my own breath quicken as I fitted the ragged edges of the two bits of cloth together. They fitted perfectly. "That finishes it!" The exclamation was Al Jarton's. "N-o-o, I wouldn't say that, Al. There are a lot of things that are left over in this thing," Alec's drawl dropped down on his excitement like the snuffer over a candle flame. Alec's words were prophetic. There was more, much more than any one among us there at that small table in the Beal House would ever have suspected. "At least we know there is some connection between this Selwyn guy and old Meme's mysterious disappearance—or if no connection, he has some knowledge that I'd like to quiz him about." I folded the two pieces of cloth together as I spoke and stowed them away in my pocket as I turned again to Alec. "Was there anything besides the bit of cloth, Alec?" I queried. "Nothing tangible in the way of material things. But there was some interesting information by way of the maid and Mrs. Beal." He paused and looked toward the open window. Something had agitated the twigs of the big lilac bush just beyond the opening. They rustled softly. A breeze, perhaps. But—I noticed that the white curtains hung limp and still. Motioning for silence I got up and tiptoed across the room to the open space and looked out. There was no one near the window. As I turned to go back to my seat I glimpsed Mrs. Beal approaching from around the far corner of the house. I returned quickly to my seat at the small tea-table. I didn't want Amanda Beal to catch me snooping suspiciously while I was in her house. She was noted for being sensitive about her dignity, and the Automatically I reached into my breast pocket and took out another folded bit of cloth ... and laid it on the table beside the piece that Alec had handed me.

They we texture and coloring. last thing I wished to do was to antagonize her. I wanted to be a welcome guest at the Beal House until I could make a few personal investigations of its late guest and his movements. "What did the maid have to say?" I was again seated opposite Alec. "It wasn't entirely what she said, it was the way she said it and some things she didn't say, that interested me most. "When I asked her first, about whether Mr. Selwyn was in or not, she seemed very eager and started to speak and then—suddenly a look of fear dawned in her eyes and she stopped herself. "I—I don't know sir,' at last she stammered. "Will you go up and see, Annie?' I asked, purposely keeping my tones pleasantly non-committal and pretending not to have noticed her agitation. "Instead of going upstairs she went out into the kitchen. After an appreciable length of time she returned with the information that Mr. Selwyn had paid his bill and left. When I asked her when and where he had gone she said she didn't know "Mr. Selwyn had some books of mine,' I lied to her then, 'do you know whether he left them or any word about them?' That was my method of getting into his room. It worked. "Once there it took me only a minute to see that everything of a personal nature had been removed from that room. It was immaculately clean and disconcertingly bare. I did not doubt that the cleansing of that room had been painstakingly thorough when its occupant decided to move. "But it was this very thoroughness that led me to the one discovery. Because of the immaculate neatness the presence of this bit of dirty yellowed cloth against the ivory floor board up close beside the door, stood out like a red stain on a bit of white marble. I did not see it until I turned to go out, which was when I heard footsteps hurrying toward the door from below stairs. As it was, I was forced to drop my handkerchief over it in an effort to pick it up without having the person entering the room perceive that I had found anything." Alec paused for a breath. "Who came into the room?" Al Jarton asked the question. I waited for the answer. "Mrs. Beal." Alec called the name quietly in a matter of fact tone. But there was something electrical in --- the atmosphere as he said it. "What did she say, Alec?" The tense atmosphere broke under the impact of the simple question. "At first she looked angry but when I smiled at her and explained that I had come up to see if Mr. Selwyn had left the books he had borrowed from me she seemed to lose something of her feeling. Although I took the precaution to further placate her by explaining that I couldn't refrain from a moment of pleasurable contemplation of the room. Its neatness and immaculate cleanliness were the epitome of fine housekeeping I told her. And you know what that means to a woman like Amanda Beal. She literally blossomed out with good feeling. "It was that which won me the hits of information that I might otherwise have failed to obtain" "And those—?" I reminded him. "Were elicited on the strength of my anxiety to get my purely mythical books back—books that I have never possessed and never loaned.

He had packed his things and left the evening before, intending not to re- Thirty Scientists Study the How and Why of turn, she had thought at the time, but, during the night a friend had called for him—a woman, an old woman. So insistent was this woman with Annie, that she be allowed to go up into Mr. Selwyn's room, that Mrs. Beal herself had been summoned to assure her that he was not there. But when she came, the strange old woman had disappeared. It was not until the next morning that she saw her and then—only for a brief instant. "It seems that Selwyn had not paid the bill for the garage that he was using, when he had settled the night before. He had left his car in it for security and had said something of sending a man in with the money and after the car, later. But in the morning he came back himself. "Not until he was counting the money out into her hand did she see the woman. She was waiting for him in the shadowy end of the small side lobby that comes in off the side street. She had a sort of shrinking look, although in the darkness Mrs. Beal said she could not see her features well. "Anyway, after he paid his bill, this man, Garland Selwyn, turned to (Continued on page four) The Creeping Thing By CORA JEAN MOTEN (Continued from page three) the waiting woman and taking her by the arm led her out, and Mrs. Beal heard the car start away toward the country. She said that another car sped down the road immediately afterward." Alec stopped again. This time I knew he had given me all the information that he had, and I asked him no more questions. For a space we sat in silence. We had come to an impasse. Who was the old woman with Garland Selwyn? Where had she come from? Where had they gone? "Alec," I said, abruptly, "have you ever heard of Zombies?" Alec Jones looked up startled at the word. "Yes," he said and his voice held a note of awe. It was my turn to be startled—hard-headed old Alec to have such a note in his voice at the mention of a fantastic superstition of ignorant voicoolists. I would never have believed it. I jerked myself together; I tried to laugh; but my laughter had a hollow ring. "And— do you believe in them?" The question had to be asked; I felt that I must know. "I don't know, Tom—I—I don't know." The answer ended lamely on a note of uncertainty, almost of fear. I turned away. As I did so I was sure that the upper twigs of the lilac bush near the window swayed violently. "Annie," the girl had entered the room in obedience to the call bell on the table that I had pressed, "will you ask Mrs. Beal to step here a moment?" There was a wait of several moments while Annie went into the kitchen. She was returning to the room with a blank look of the futile sort that attends minor failures, when the front door opened and Mrs. Beal stepped into the small front hall. She came into the room nonchalantly and nodded to us in her usual manner, but I thought her brown face was unusually flushed with color. "By the way, Mrs. Beal," I said, I have a friend who is coming here from the West for a short rest. He is anxious to stay somewhere where he will be entirely undisturbed and without social obligations. I told him that I would get a room with you for him. My friend Mr. Jonas here has been singing the praises of that empty room that Mr. Selwyn has just vacated, and I'm afraid with such a desirable place, the chances of its remaining vacant are too hazardous to risk, so I am going to pay for it for my friend. He is a scientist and as I have a number of his traps that I brought ahead with my own baggage, if you don't mind, I'll just set them up so he can start off at home when he comes in." I searched in my pockets as I spoke and when I was through I held my wallet in my hand. I noted the quick look of surprise almost of dismay that overspread 1970 Gladys May of Shufflin' Sam Co.

"I shall pay for a month in advance." I said encouragingly. She gulped and went over to the old escritoire that served as a desk and cashier's stand, in the corner. "When may I expect you with your friend's belongings?" she said, as she handed me the key. It seemed to me that I caught a low note of something like cunning and apprehension in her voice. "Oh, most any day," I replied, casually uninterested, apparently. "Not tonight?" Her voice, I was sure, had a note of anxiety in it. "Oh, I'm in no great hurry."

It may be a lemonade, an orangeade, a fruit punch, an egg nog, a ginger ale punch, a mint julep, or any one of dozens of famous summer beverages. Children have their favorites, but almost any cooling drink will bring smiles to their faces at any time—and particularly during the strenuous, hot days of vacation. There is much more of real value to a little treat of this kind than many mothers appreciate. The fruit used in the drink furnishes much that is beneficial in the line of minerals and salts. The liquid itself takes the place of that lost through perspiration. The sugar, used as a sweetening agent, gives greater zest to the fruits used, and because it is a highly concentrated source of human energy, it helps to provide the vim, vigor and vitality that make children the bright-eyed rosy-cheeked little beings they are. So furnish the kiddies with plenty of cooling drinks this summer — not filled with ice but cooled so that they will be relished — and furnish the adults with the same or more elaborate beverages, as you see fit. Tinkling pieces of ice fit more appropriately into the adult drink, for adults are more prone to sip their tasties slowly. For children, it is usually well to set the beverage aside to cool on ice, rather than to serve t. with ice. In the car, at the picnic ground, while hiking or when on a camping trip, fruit drinks are very desirable. They may be carried rom home in a vacuum bottle, or made on the spot—provided one is sure the water is pure. When well sweetened, they serve as energizing foods as well as thirst-quenching beverages.

The Sensational Story of France's Greatest Colonial Fighter and the Negro King Who Sat on a Throne of Beaten Gold. The Sensat er and the N To mention either of these two great Negroes is to mention the other. The lives of General Dodds and King Behanzin are inextricably woven together. General Alfred Amedee Dodds, France's greatest soldier in the period prior to the great war, was born in Senegal, French West Africa, February 6, 1842. His grandfather, of English descent, was born in the colony of Gambia where he was married to the daughter of a Frenchman and a woman of the Pouhl tribe. His father, Emery Dodds, the son of this union married Mile. Billaud, daughter of a Frenchman and a Sengalese woman. General Dodds was thus of mixed ancestry on both sides. Behanzin Behanzin was by far the most powerful of the West African kings. And he was not such as often passes for a king of Africa. He was a real monarch. He was descended in direct line from Tacodounon, who in 1610 had conquered Dahomey and taken the throne from the Houenous, whose ancestry also dated several centuries prior to that. In December, 1670, one of Behanzin's ancestors, Adanzan the First, had visited Paris and had been received with great ceremony at Versailles by the Grand Monarch himself. On October, 1626, Admiral D'Elbee, in the service of Louis XIII, had visited Dahomey. The reigning black monarch received him with great deference and held fetes in his honor. He gave him to drink out of his own cup—the highest honor possible—and gave France a trading post on the coast. From that time on, the two nations have been trading. It was this gift, nearly three centuries later, that is almost the direct cause of the encounter of General Dodds and King Behanzin. A word or two about the exploits of General Dodds before his encounter with Behanzin Hossu Bowele (the King Shark) General Dodds. Brilliant Entering the military college at St. Cyr, he was graduated from it at the head of his class when 21. Six years later he took part in the Franco-Prussian war with the rank of captain. At Bazelles, where he was KING BEHANZIN KING BEHANZIN --- A King Behanzin smoking the Pipe of Peac August 17. 1929 wounded, he was decorated on the battlefield with the Cross of the Legion of Honor for bravery. In this war, disastrous for France, he was captured at Sedan and taken into Germany, but escaping, he rejoined his company. Recaptured, he escaped into Switzerland and was interned. But escaping once more he got back to Paris in time to take part in the defense of that city. From then onwards until the time of his retirement, his life was one of almost continuous warfare. He put down revolts in Madagascar; led expeditions against African chiefs in West Africa, among them being the Prophet, Abu Bubekr, ally of Samory; secured Senegal for France; put down revolts in Indo-China; wiped out the Tonkin pirates and commanded the troops in Senegal for twenty years more. Here he married a Sengesele lady of mixed ancestry. In 1891, after having taken part in twenty-one wars, he was returned to France and given command of a regiment. He was also made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. Behanzin, a Deity Let us return now to King Behanzin. Like his ancestors, Behanzin was absolute master of his kingdom. A nod of his head might mean life or death for almost any of his subjects. His person was sacred and the common people were allowed to see him only at ceremonials. Very few persons were allowed to see him in the performance of any bodily function. If he wanted to drink while on the march he would be hid behind a screen from the common gaze. The water would be passed to him, at which the soldiers would throw themselves prostrate to the ground and utter "Ah-h-h" as if they were enjoying the drink with him. He was held in such respect and veneration that not even his saliva was allowed to touch the ground. All the refuse of his body was sacred. Says a writer: "Dada! (King) we hear even yet the accents of veneration mixed with terror with which the old Dahomeyans pronounced this word. For them it symbolized the richness, grandeur and power of their fatherland. It epitomized the souvenirs of the glorious conquests of Dahomey." Dahomey was wealthy and drew the elements of its success from its trade, its powerful army and the courage of its soldiers, which were deemed invincible. The King, as HOT But the most redoubtable part of Behanzin's army were the female warriors. y of France's Gr Who Sat on a T By J. A. ROGERS, Paris, France. But the most redoubtable central power, was seconded by a marvellous secret police. "Crack" Regiment In the army were 25,000 warriors, who were the pick of Behanzin's subjects. These men were thoroughly trained by a system of gymnastics developed by the Dahomeyans themselves. They were divided into brigades and companies and the discipline was perfection, itself. At the head of the army was Algi-Agbo, the king's brother. Each warrior had a servant to carry his weapons and his food on the march. But the most redoubtable part of Behanzin's army were the female warriors, 5,000 in number. These were recruited from the lustiest virgins in the kingdom and were sworn to chastity. They ranked above the men. The king sometimes took his wives from among them or gave them to the bravest warriors. It is also said that when a man had a wife too unruly for him he gave her to the king for his army. Female Warriors The training of these amazon was of the severest kind. They had to charge with bare feet into a construction of thorns. Boghero describes the scene as follows: "Upon the ground reserved for the exercises had been reared a mound, not of earth, but of very sharp thorns, about 50 yards long, 8 yards wide, and 7 feet high. At about 50 yards further was another construction like a house also thickly covered with thorns, the whole resembling a citadel. "All the women are at their posts in an attitude of combat, arms upraised, swords in hand massed in line of battle before the front of attack. The king rises and goes to the head of the columns. He addresses them, inflaming them, and at a given signal they throw themselves with indescribable fury upon the mass of thorns. "Descending as if beaten back, they return three times to the charge, each time so swiftly that the eye has difficulty in following them. They mount onto the construction of thorns with the same ease that a dancer moves on the stage, and yet it is with their bare feet that they have been trampling the sharp been trampling the sharp thorns spines of the cactus." Slaying Bulls Another of their exercises was to have a maddened bull let loose on them which they had to kill with their bare hands. Some would go down, but at the end of a few moments the bull was killed with as much ease as a sheep in a European butchery. "One should not be astonished after this," says another writer, "to hear that these women fight with extreme bravery, exciting by their courage and their indomitable energy the other troops that follow them." Like the men, they fought nude to the waist. The Dahomeyan warrior had been trained from infancy to scorn death. The following is an account of the death of a Dahomeyan spy as told by an eye witness: Fond of Death "Executioner: 'You know, brother, I am going to cut.' (Significant gesture at the neck.) "Spy: 'Good.' "The condemned man knelt and hung his head as if he were only going to have his hair cut. The executioner raised his weapon and said, 'Are you ready?' "Yes.' "Here comes,' and the sword fell upon the neck of the poor devil, making only a deep wound. The blood spouted, the executioner becoming ferocious, tried to saw off the head. Fatigued, streaming with sweat, he shouted to a comrade for his sword. In the meantime the half-decapitated man, silent, stoical, uttered not even a groan." Two hundred of the sturdiest of these women warriors and five hundred of the finest males formed the king's body guard. Barred all Whites The preferred weapon of the Dahomeyan warriors were short swords and knives, but a goodly number of them were armed with the latest rifles. The use of these had been taught them by German and other European instructors. Behanzin also had six Krupp guns and a few other field pieces. Behanzin's policy was to keep all white persons, except a certain few, from coming into the interior of his kingdom. Such others as came in were permitted to bring no sextants, surveying instruments or cameras. The customs service was rigid and 5 visitors had to be provided with a passport in the shape of a palm almond wrapped in a special leaf. Fear of the king's wrath and his perfect police system prevented the corruption of his officials. Theft or crime of any kind was very rare. Visitors Made Prisoners Explorers and others who came in were virtual prisoners. That is, they became the guests of Behanzin. Every courtesy was shown them, but the officials who were sent as guides, and the domestics also had received special orders as to what they were to be shown and with whom they were to be permitted to speak. At no time were they ever allowed to remove themselves from the sight of some of Behanzin's force. King Behanzin was a man of energy and great force of character. He had seen the intrusion of the European into the kingdom of his neighbors like King Premph of Ashanti, first as missionaries and visitors, and later as conquerors. One by one they had been gobbled up. He, alone, had been left independent, and great patriot as he was, he decided that he was going to be master in the land that his ancestors had been ruling for at least six centuries. Splendid Physique Behanzin has been described as tall, well-developed and strong, of impetuous nature but dignified. Unlike his rival king, Toffa, in the neighboring French protectorate of Porto Novo, and unlike his rich subjects, he dressed simply. Around his body and across his bare shoulders was draped a long fold of silk after the manner of an ancient Greek or a Roman senator. He wore sandals, and his only affectation was a long pipe of exquisite native craftsmanship which he puffed at nonchalantly most of the time. He was also a poet, his verses and war chants are said to be the finest ever produced in Dahomey. END OF FIRST PART (To be continued next week.) (The last part of this thrilling story contains a daring account of General Behanzin's bravery. He fought the entire French army. France could subdue him only by the resourcefulness of the black veteran General Alfred Dodds, who commanded one of the most skilled mixed regiments in the history of France.)

After tying up with one or more of these organizations, the child should still feel the watchful supervision of the parents. Occasional visits to check up on attendance and conduct at vacation school and taking part in the parties and celebrations should be attempted by the mother, even though it means a sacrifice. Your interest means much to your child. He likes to think, "My parents never forget me and want me to do my best." Hats when put away for the season should be thoroughly brushed; if the trimming cannot be worn again as it is, it should be ripped off. If space allows, each hat should be packed in a roomy box by itself, preferably with tissue paper, to prevent it from being rubbed and marred. Felt or cloth hats, feathers, fur and woolen timmings must be protected against moths in the same way as woolen garments.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION THE WORKING MOTHER It is fortunate when an employer in the country will permit the mother to take her child along. Again, some mothers find home laundry work at seaside resorts a solution of the problem of summer difficulties. But, should a mother be forced to continue to work in the city she must make use of every device in her neighborhood to help her with her children. A In most large cities there are vacation schools Mrs. Elise Ayer run by the government. If your child has been "left back," or will be, you should see the principal of the school and have him take his report card to summer school and have him register (usually the 1st week in July) and make up his class work. If he is older for his grade than he should be, have him try to make a class in summer school and come back "skipped." As a rule, summer school takes up all of the morning hours. Then, there are the vacation playgrounds. Many of these are open in the afternoon until 5 p.m. Under a skilled director, the child is taught games and athletics, handicraft and sewing, dramatics, etc. This occupies practically the entire afternoon. Besides these educational activities under city administration, there are settlement houses, "Y" houses, boy and girl "scout" activities and other organizations devoted to children. The mother should acquaint herself with all of these and use them to her advantage. The number of well-run camps for colored children slowly but surely increases. Two weeks at a camp is excellent for all children and especially for the youngster whose mother cannot give him all of her time. The money for this purpose should be saved throughout the year. Many wholesome lessons in orderly living will be learned at the camp, which results in the child's acquiring a large amount of independence. For the pampered child, this is a wonderful opportunity, as well as for the child to whom home means loneliness. The question of clothes is settled by the requirements of each camp and are so simple that they are within reach of all mothers. Proper food is part of the routine. Companion- A. E.

Some of his portraits for bills are world famous as works of art. The engraver cuts out the main designs for bills or securities on soft steel. Formal work is done by a machine, a big diamond pointed lathe, which can be set so that it will work out automatically much of the formal decorative work around the edges of bills. The machine work is very important, for it cannot be duplicated by hand, and many of the lines are so delicate that they can't be picked up and transferred by the photographic process. Hence without a machine of that kind, which costs a small fortune, no counterfeiter can make a plate that will exactly duplicate paper money or bonds. From the original a die is cut which can be used to cut working plates for the presses. These plates are given greater care than anything about the Bureau., for with these plates there could be produced successful counterfeits. The plates are kept in a great vault, the keeper of which is never allowed to leave the door unlocked and is so surrounded with lights and reflectors that he can stand at the door and see above and all around him. He in turn is checked as regards his movements. In addition to money and bonds and stamps, the engraving bureau prints, many other things like check books, blank commissions, and other government forms requiring plates. It even prints the President's cards. The amount of money printed every year is staggering. Currency, bonds, notes and certificates of indebtedness turned out during a recent year had a face value of nearly $26,000,000,000. Bills, each with a face value of $10,000, are the highest denominations of currency that will be turned out. Certificates of indebtedness often have individual face value of $100,000. It takes more than $7,000,000 a year to pay the operating expenses of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Some of that comes directly from outside agencies that have to pay for work done, such as the Federal Reserve and national banks. The rest is an overhead charge, chiefly on money and bond manufacture. But it isn't a tax in the strict sense, for all the government's expenses in producing paper money and bonds is more than made up for the securities that go out and never come back for redemption. It is estimated that one per cent of all national bank currency is never redeemed. But it doesn't accrue to the banks, even when they go out of business: but goes into the United States Treasury, where the fund held for the redemption of bank currency alone amounts to about $40,000,000. Most of this will never be drawn, for the money represented, no doubt, in the main, has been destroyed or lost beyond recovery. Yet, every now and then somebody comes along with an old bill or other government obligation that should have been redeemed a long time ago. Recently an Illinois woman brought in a thousand dollar certificate issued in 1853 to idemnify Texas for Mexican war claims. The Bureau pronounced it genuine and it was paid. Probably this will always be true. Particularly since there is to be this change in size. All the old notes may never be turned in. As long as they are out they will remain legal tender just as any other. They can never be repudiated. The United States is different from Your Money Was Naturally, the $1 bills are exposed to the greatest wear and there is a demand for more of them than any others. The fives and the tens are also subject to strenuous service. The $20 bill has a normal life about two years and is not used as extensively as the fives and the tens. The higher denominations are even less used by the general public than the twenties. Probably there are many citizens who have never seen a $500 or a $5,000 bill. Recently the Chicago Chamber of Commerce started out a new bill with a circular attached requesting every person handling the bill to make a notation of its use. In fourteen days the dollar was spent thirty-one times. HAIR What style of hair dress suits you best? You can have it! Yes, exactly! Just choose from among your friends or from any picture.

F Special Prices to Drugists and Agents August 17, 1929 UMAN beings love a change, if anything. They get tired of seeing the same thing, so it will be no surprise to learn that one of the most dance halls in Europe is a one. H We had better say: originally a colored one; for at present the Bal Negro on Rue Blomet presents a stranger mixture of humanity than is perhaps to be found anywhere else on earth. Besides the French, English, German, Norwegian, American, and other white nationalities, are to be seen Chinese, Japanese, Egyptians, Persians, Hindus, etc. The scientist who said that there were only five varieties of mankind would have changed his mind had he visited this Negro dance hall first. Of course, this helps to show how popular the Negro is in Europe. In this vast field of whiteness, he adds a bit of color and is welcomed for the relief. For we recall the time when this dance hall was really a Negro place, and a most original one at that. At that time it was patronized by about one hundred and twenty Negroes from Africa and the French West Indies, most of them very dark. There were never present more than five or six French persons. Then the white newspapers discovered it. All carried long articles saying that a real Negro dance hall was to be found right here in Paris. From that time, the fortune of the proprietor (a white man) was made. Now the attendance is about three times too much for the hall. The crush is so great, that dancing is almost impossible and one's partner is squeezed onto one. There is hardly space to worm one's way about. And not only is there variety of race but of class as well. Some of CHICHESTERS PILLS THE DIAMOND BRAND. Ladies!

ROGERS Paris, France the highest socially in Europe come to this dance hall, and on holidays like Mardi Gras and Mid-Lent, the street in front is blocked by rich automobiles. Princes, counts, dukes, statesmen, artists, musicians, writers, rich idlers and poor ones, too, flock to this place in the hope of seeing something different and getting thereb a "kick." "It is but nine-thirty," say Intransigent, leading French paper, describing the place, "and there is still no empty table to be found. Carco (Hungarian dancer) is there, laughter on her lips, her eyes flashing. Foujita (famous Japanese artist) is wearing his earrings and no one is making fun of him. At a table, Ilya Ehrenbourg and Babel, Russian novelists, laughing and attentive. And there is the Count Karolyi (former Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister) who dances with his knitted brows and his goatee sticking out like a helm. . . Are we really and truly at a Negro dance?" That was written in 1928. This is what the same paper has to say in 1929: "Oh well, where are the Negroes?" a friend whom I took to see the Negro dance hall for the first time asked me. "The Negroes. That's true. What has become of them during the six months that I have not been here? I look for them in vain. I look on the main floor, and then in the balcony. Ah, at last there are about ten. But they are the orchestra and they don't count. Last year they were everywhere. "My friend seems disappointed.

"That, he adds in disgust, pointing to the white people who are trying to do the begun (native West Indian dance). Heaven save me from taking part in such a thing! If they could only see themselves! That young blonde there is twisting like a snake, and just look at her partner. Can't they see that they ought to leave the begun to those two colored girls there with their snapple waists and hips, and that black sailor who is encircling with his arm the waist of that daughter of his race dressed in blue, red, and green?" Yes, it's the same old story: it's impossible for the colored brother to hide himself away these days. One might paraphrase the Psalmist: Though he take the wings of the morning, etc., etc. The orchestra is original French "THERE'LL BE FREEBIES JENN RE'LL BE NO EEBIES AT M JENNY'S B THE MUSICIAN "THERE'LL BE NO FREEBIES AT MISS JENNY'S BALL." says Quinton Redd and his banjo Say, when scorchin' Quinton and he down to tellin' you 'bout them low for one more perishin' heat wave! load of hundred proof joy!

No saxophone, no jazz; but banjos, horns and drums. The hip movement of the dance shows its African origin. The tempo is set by a shiny thing shaped like a cocktail shaker pierced with many holes. In it are several pebbles, and it makes a strange, peculiar swishing noise as the leader shakes it with a movement as if he were throwing it away from him. As to the dancing, it is smoother and much less jerky than jazz. The music is lively and gay. The dresses of many of the colored women are also different. Their gowns are striking colors; they are flowing and reach to the heels as in the good old days. Some wear bright-colored bandanas tied so as to bring the kerchief to two points which stick upward like the horns of a snail. The colored person from the United States who visits this place had better bring his interpreter with him if he does not speak French. The different types of French colored people are, or used to be, pretty well represented. There is the "mammy" dressed in a dozen different colors and incapable of hiding her joy; the soldier and the sailor wearing their uniforms, sometimes those of officers; the doctor, with his eye-glasses and his professional smile; laughing, brown-skinned shop-girls; and dignified Negro dames who do not laugh.

VARY YOUR BREAKFAST ORANGE Do you always serve orange juice for breakfast, or orange on the half-shell or in your form? No matter which method you follow, try the others occasionally so that your first bite in the morning will be varied. Then serve small pieces of orange with some other fruit or fruits for a change. Serve the orange in segments instead of in slices. Once more, cut the orange into small pieces skin and all, so that the pieces may be lifted separately and pulp bitten from the rind. As a fancy orange breakfast dish, place slices of orange in a sheer bet glass, and cover with a little maple syrup or strained honey—both fruit and covering to be ice cold.

But he hasn't visited my home since school closed over a year ago.

In real life, men who amount to anything, have something else to do besides courting. They are interested in making their way in the world so they can later pay the expenses of love and give their sweetheart a home. Since he says he still loves you and has proposed, I think that he is sincere. On the other hand I believe you should recall to his mind indirectly, that you are both young and life very fleeting.

Of course, not all girls suffer in this way, but it is very easy to find many who get drowsy, sleepy, lazy, tired — call it what you wish — quite soon after lunch. There are many reasons. Some eat too much meat, fish and bread at dinner, and an overloaded stomach calls for a period of inactivity so that it may catch up on its job. Others try to keep that girlish figure and do not eat enough, and the body tunities for him to see you which he can't resist. Invite him to your house for a week-end. If that is impossible go up to see him some Sunday and spend the day. Take a nice homemade lunch, things which you have prepared yourself, and go with him to the country or the park and eat it. Then talk to him frankly and say how much you miss him. I'm sure that you can make the excursion so pleasant that he will want to repeat it again soon. Try eating a light lunch and then bringing a small bag, a bar or a stick of candy to work. When that tired feeling comes, take a few bites of candy. It is a quick energy food and you will be surprised as how it will pep you up. Athletes have been using it for years and it is time we women adopted the practice.
