They had buoyed the whale which sank, and while they were cutting in and trying out this new kill, they stayed near the buoy. On the sec-ond morning they saw the dead whale afloat, swollen with gases. They brought it alongside too. De-spite the steady work, everyone aboard was in good humor; for one more whale, Richard said, would fill their last casks. They finished try-in- g out, stowed the oil, scrubbed ship, cruised daily to and fro. But their luck did not repeat it-self; they went day after day vigi-lant and yet without success. On a steady westerly they moved down again toward Juan Fernandez, work-ing offshore for a while; and inac-tion began to weary them and fret the patience of every man aboard, till at last Richard decided to put in to Talcahuano. "We might strike oil at the Cape Verdes," he said. "And If we don't, we've done well enough. It's time to be getting home." There was, Mary would find, a surprising lot to be done by way of refitting. Richard warned her that rounding Cape Horn they were sure of cold weather; and she saw the sailors in their spare time on deck busy with mending and patching, preparing warm clothing for the high latitudes. And In ,the land-locked harbor of Talcahuano the ship herself put on a new dress. Her old sails, patched and repatched and dingy with smoke, were unbent The rigging was tested and repaired where repairs were needed, and freshly tarred. Richard bought beef to understand that Peter or any other man-mi- ght love her; and she was woman enough to forgive Peter. But she was sure at last that, loving her, he would never have stolen her pearls. Who, then? Feik might have taken the pearls before he and Barbo left the ship at Talcahuano; and Mary hoped he had! If he had them, they and the thief were gone. But of the men still aboard, there remained only Rannels. Mat Forbes' harpooner was a fat young man, with a decep-tive fatness that had strength be-hind it. There was something shifty about Rannels. Thinking of Rannels made her suddenly afraid, and as much to re-assure herself as from any real conviction, she decided that Peter had found the pearls and had put them in some place of greater se-curity. But when she asked him whether this were true, he shook his head. "I've never seen them since you showed them to me," he declared. "Where were they hidden?" She told him, and he listened, frowning soberly. "I'd have thought they'd be safe there," he admitted. "Did Richard know about them?" "He knew I had them, but not where they were." She added: "I hope it was Felk. I hope he's got them, hope they're gone." Peter chuckled. "I don't," he pro-tested. "I liked the look of them. If anybody gets them, I'd like to be the one. I'm betting they're still aboard." "I think we ought to tell Rich-ard," she decided. "If they're aboard, whoever has them, it might mean trouble.

Later she reported the disappear-ance of the pearls to Richard. He said "Shucks, you probably took them yourself, hid them somewhere else; and now you've forgotten where." "You must think I'm an idiotl" She was at once hurt and angry. "Sure you didn't?" "Of course I'm sure." "Then it was probably Felk," he decided. He frowned. "Now, I'm wondering if that barrel of amber-gris is still in the cabin stores. I'll have a look and see." The ambergris was safe, and noth-ing new happened to alarm them; but there was after that day an added vigilance in Richard's man-ner. He kept a more watchful eye upon the men, and went out of his way and outside any real need to keep them busy. He was forever shifting sails, trying this way and that to get greater speed out of the Venturer. In the end it became necessary to tell George about the pearls. Mary and Richard and Peter were apt to discuss the pearls whenever two or all three of them were together and out of reach of other ears; and a man less sensitive than George must have seen that he was excluded from some secret which they shared. He was for a while too proud to confess that he saw this. But in the end he questioned Pe-ter. "I've had an idea you, Mary and Richard have a secret between you." Peter laughed. "Secret? You can't keep a secret aboardship. No. Don't you worry, George!" he urged. "Richard's all right, and so's Mary. Of course, it would go to any man'i head the way she looks at him; but they'll be all right once we're ashore." George said after a moment: "I trust Mary, and Richard too, of course. Only I've wondered, some-times." "Here, I'll show you you're wrong." Peter spoke easily; he took George by the arm, led him across to the other side of the deck and forward, so that they would ap-proach Richard and Mary unseen, from behind. "We'll get near enough to hear what they're saying." he proposed. But George stopped. "No," he said curtly. "I'm not a spy!" Be-fore Peter could urge him, he called to Mary, still some distance from them. He called her name, and there was a note of warning in his voice. That call startled her, made her turn with guilty cheeks; for when she had followed Richard forward, she was thinking of his forbearance toward Peter, and when they were alone on sudden impulse she said: Isaiah told me Peter's not really vour brother. Richard." He said in a low tone: "I'd have Isaiah whipped for that, if he weren't old enough to be my grand-father." Everyone will know when we get hRichard shook his head. "No, they if Isaiah and won't! Not even Peter, Hiram keep their mouths shut I'm eoing to have the lawyers tear up Father's will, or else I'll take Peter He can run things in as partner ashore." -- I haven't even told George. Don't" he urged. "If Peter knew about it, it would knock him all to pieces. I won't Mary." of course. I noticed in that your father the 0g one night called Peter his son; but he never always did you. He was pretty proud of you. of course." (TO be cnTiwt:u; Peter laughed. "Secret? You can't keep a secret aboard ship." cattle and had them butchered and the meat salted down; he bought biscuit and molasses, tea and cof-fee; and fruits and vegetables were brought aboard. Richard himself went to a physician, who found it necessary to break his arm afresh and reset it to prevent a malfor-mation; and in the reaction from that ordeal, and in a rising im-patience to be at home, he decided to forego the chance of another whale. So the bricks of the try-wor-were thrown overboard, the pots stowed below, the sheathing on deck and at the gangway removed; and early in December, stripped and fit, the Venturer was ready. Feik and Barbo left them at Tal-cahuano. Feik's illness had passed within a few days; but the two is-landers found a chance to sign on the Nancy Drake, a bark bound westward, which had put in here for repairs after a rough time off the Horn. So Richard paid them off, and he did not fill their places To work ship he had men enough. Soon after noon one day the Venturer put to sea. The next morning Mary rose and went on deck to view the day as though it were something new and beautiful, never seen before. She was completely happy; but before the day ended, her world had changed. She was in her cabin alone. George and the others all on deck; and she began to put her things in order, as though it were already So do-ing, time to pack to go ashore. she remembered the pearls had given her. And looking for them, found they were gone. CHAPTER XIV The loss of the pearls did not in itself grieve Mary; but the manner of their going had alarming implica-tions. Whoever had stolen them was by the very fact of his guilt made potentially dangerous to the ship and io them all. Peter knew of the ex-istence knew they we e of the pearls, somewhere aboard; and he could crossed off'toe hst not be surely Certainly he held him-sel- f of suspects. to no strict rule of honorable conduct since Mary came aboard the Venturer he had wooed her who was George's wife.

"pOBACCO ROAD," that painfully realistic drama of life among the poor whites that has been running for years and years on Broad-way, has reached the screen at last. There's been consid-erable speculation about what would be left of it when it became a picture, since practical-ly all of It was highly censorable. Well, just about nothing got by. Most of the sizzling dialogue of the original version was omitted, of course. The characters have been changed. The result is a rather in-nocuous movie with a few beauti-ful camera shots. Dennis Morgan says that the only time he was ever broke, hungry and desperate was the day he became a d movie star. Morgan, who is with Merle Oberon in Warner Bros.' "Af-fectionately Yours," was discovered by Mary Garden when he sang "Don Juan" to her "Carmen." She called the atten-- Dennis Morgan tlon f mo couta to the handsome and popular young singer. "I signed at a good salary and thought I was sitting on top of the world," be said. "Instead, I found myself, broke and hungry, sitting out in the desert in a broken-dow-n Ja-- loppy." He didn't understand that a yearly movie contract provides for a layoff without pay. He bought an ancient auto and headed West. But his layoff period came first. The days of the glorified bathtub are back. In "Ziegfeld Girl" Lana Turner, as one of the glorified show-girls, steps into a marble tub wearing her jewelry, Includ-ing earrings and a tiara, and apparent-ly nothing else. Though the much-publicize- d episode of the Anna Held milk bath will not be used, the scene with Lana is basea Lana Turner on an actual occur-rence, when a slightly tipsy Follies Girl stepped out of her bathrobe and into the tub wearing her hat and jew-els. But when Miss Turner slips out of the bathrobe there's a flesh col-ored bathing suit on her, as well as the jewels. What kind of noise does a planet make when it explodes? That's what a group of serious-minde- d men in Miami, Fla., want to know. They're bringing "Superman" to the screen at the Fleischer Studios, and in one of the opening scenes a planet explodes only "Superman" in a rocket ship, escapes. Max Fleischer thinks it ought to be very, very loud; Dave Fleischer thinks It ought to be a combination of heavy gunfire, earthquake and an apple breaking in two, much multiplied. Unless somebody thinks up some-thing more satisfactory, the apple wins. Lurene Tuttle has played, to date, 2,000 different radio roles; she's so mocb in demand that she dashes from one rehearsal directly to an-other. Here's her formula for suc-cessMaster your own art; keep your mind open to suggestions nev-er think you're too good to learn from others. That may be respon-sible for the fact that she's gone on and on, when so many radio stars rise to the top quickly, and then sink out of sight even faster than they rose. Lurene puts over a role with her voice alone; doesn't rely on gestures, make-u- p or costumes. Paul Schubert is naval expert for the Mutual chain because he plays the accordion. Mrs. Schubert has a nice voice, and when she auditioned for the chain some time ago he went along and played the accordion for her as an accompaniment. That in-terested him in radio. A couple of months later he phoned the man who'd handled the audition. "Do you remember me the man who played the accordion?" he asked, and made an appointment for an interview. The appointment re-vealed his extensive study and writ-ing experience in connection with naval affairs and presto! he was signed up immediately.

Potatoes to be french fried will be more crisp if allowed to stand in cold water for half an hour be-fore frying. To remove chewing gum from rugs, rub with any drycleaning fluid. Rub different ways on the rug and soon the gum will loosen so that it can bo picked off. The cleaning fluid then removes the gum stains. If dirt becomes ground into waxed floors moisten a cloth with turpen-tine and rub well into floor until wax is removed, then wax and polish. A dry cloth is better for remov-ing a pan or dish from the stove than a damp or wet one. When buying mats and doilies for the dining table remember that those of rectangular shape provide a wider space for silver and glasses than oval or round ones. Arrange the doilies about a fourth of an inch from the edge of the table. Soup is usually better if allowed to stand overnight, giving the fla-vorings a chance to blend. If In breaking eggs into a mix-ing bowl a bad one should acci-dentally be dropped in, a whole cake may be spoiled. It is, there-fore, wise to always break one egg at a time into a cup before putting it into the mixing bowl. Maryland Short-Lantle- il If the early settlers of Maryland had possessed better geographic knowledge and claimed all the land granted to Lord Baltimore by the king of England in 1632, the state would be nearly 17,000 square miles in area, according to Collier's. Instead it has only 10,000 square miles, having lost the 7,000 miles, which are now worth about $12,000,000,000, to Del-aware, Pennsylvania and what is now northern West Virginia.
