He woke late the next morning luxuriously refreshed till he realized that he had backslidden to where he started. What little he had found he had lost again. He was very glum over his coffee and eggs when there was an eclipse of the light and the huge orb of Hafiz Mustafa rose before him and with a gelatinous laugh set the Gladstone bag on the table. Jebb threw his arms around the monster as far as they went, and cried: ‘"‘How in heaven did you find it? How in-how on earth did you find me?'"' Hafiz indulged in a little self-congratulation. "I'm a wise guy, all right, all right, huh? As the boat pulls out I see you have not the Gladdastone. I go back and I say to myself, ‘If he loses it in the square, somebody has swipe it. If he loses it on the hill where he feerst started to run, it may be there.' I go round and round and finally it is there waiting in a dark street-in the middle of the street. I remember you say you stop here, so here I come so early as I can make it." The only return he would accept for his trouble was a cup of coffee. There was nothing to keep Jebb in Constantinople now, except the necessity of finding where to go next. Then he took a closed araba to the Austro-Hungarian the of offices Lloyd to inquire when the next boat went. "The next boat she is just wenting now," said a fezzed clerk, pointing to the steamer already gliding from her mooring.

And the man went on: **Yes, when you got on at Trieste I said to my wife, ‘I'll bet that fellow has a sad voyage.' You looked sort of greenery-yellery and off your feed."' "I wasn't in the best of health." "‘You're all right now, though, I judge. That's the effect of a few weeks in Constantinople. She's a great old town in spring, eh?" "She certainly is. By the way, did you notice how the little girl was?'"' ‘"‘What little girl?'' "The one I had with me at Trieste."' **You didn't have anybody with you. I noticed specially, because they were just pulling the gangplank in when you jumped for it." Jebb's heart lurched, but he kept a rigid face. "Oh, of course, the little girl wasn't with me at that time. Have some more coffee." *"No, thanks, I must get back to Constant Smoking and of sugar in distilled wa- ter. After a point was reached at which the subject could taste nothing the solution was progressively strengthened until taste was reported. Within a few days after they they could taste stopped smoking half as strong a solution as when they were using tobacco. ""You eat them?'' Jebb rather than asked, and add: ‘‘You cannibal!"' During exclaimed wanted to *"You bet. But sport is only a diversion with me. I'm interested in the prune market. They raise an A-1 prune here. Are you fond of prunes?'"' "I prescribe them sometimes,'' said Jebb. "Oh, you're a doctor, eh?'"? Jebb was angry at letting slip even' that information. "Great food, great medicine,"' he said: "I've got a sample or two in my soot-case."' And nothing would do but that Jebb should test his wares. "Talk about your undeveloped American resources, doctor,'' Ludlam rattled on like an encyclopedia that must disgorge its load. ‘‘The true field for Americans is over here. I'm making a specialty of this country. The silk industry, for instance; they make silk rugs by hand here. I'm .importing machinery, building a factory. Been working mighty hard. Now I'm going home for a spell-combine business with pleasure. Going to stop off at Munich and see my sister Jennie. Going to surprise her. Haven't seen her for months and months. She'll be tickled to death to see me." (TO BE CONTINUED) Deadens Smokers never are likely to become culinary connoisseurs. They probably make less fussy husbands, so far as cooking is concerned. They seldom are candy eaters. They can't distinguish fine distinctions in taste. In time, it is likely, one thing tastes just about like another. That is one of the sacrifices demanded by nicotine, according to the findings of Dr. J. Edward Rauth and James J. Sinnott, Catholic university psychologists. In some way the fumes of tobacco deaden the sensitivity of the socalled taste buds in the mouth and on the tongue. The effect takes place so rapidly and disappears almost as rapidly when smoking is stopped. ' The experiment was made on six students who swore off smoking for Lent. The ability to taste was measured by placing on the tongue accurately determined solutions of salt The word came with a shock, sending him back to his first wakening in Turkey and the first sound of this barbaric word on an ear that found ‘‘Uskub" equally harsh. And now somehow through the mellow enchantment of memory, the word Uskub always fell with music on his senses. Late afternoon brought Belgrade on the scene. Here a new passenger got aboard and bulged into the smoking compartment with the crass aggressiveness of the worst type of traveler. He made himself nasally audible. He behaved like a crowd. "‘Whew!"' he began, ‘‘but these foreigners are a pack of damned scoundrels and fools. It's tip, tip, tip all day long, everywhere you turn there's a palm up. You're an American, too, eh?'"' Jebb nodded. ‘‘My name's Ludlam, Charles Ludlam."' *""How are you?" said Jebb. *""Goin' far?'' "I change at Budapest,'"' was all Jebb answered. Silence seemed to be intolerable to Mr. Ludlam. ‘"‘Where'd you get on?'"' "Constantinople." "Awful hole! Can't stand the Turks. Servians are bad enough. Been hunting there. Those woods are full of bear and wild boar. Had some great times with'em. They're great sport and bully good to eat."' the Sense Taste the former period candy might have been rather tasteless. Much of its sweetness would have been wasted on them. The effect with salt was not so striking, but at least 50 per cent stronger solution was needed to arouse the sense of taste in the smokers as in the non-smokers. The threshold of taste, says Dr. Rauth, rises very rapidly when a person starts to smoke. Several of the subjects were not able to keep their good resolutions and smoked a few cigarettes. The effect was apparent almost immediately as their taste sensitivity fell. By much the same technique, Dr. Rauth hopes to determine whether the sensory acuteness rises with age up to the time of adolescence. This claim has been made by psychologists, but with little experimental basis. It may be, Dr. Rauth holds, that the sensitivity itself does not increase, but that there is a notable increase in the individual's associations,' so that a sense impression has more meaning and hence seems to be more acute. Children sometimes can be taught to like foods which are repulsive to adults, but this is probably because the dislike is due to the associations rather than to the taste itself. In other words, one must learn to taste.
