Sixth Installment SYNOPSIS Margaret Leferre marries Luke Madison, wealthy banker, after he has transferred to her every dollar he has in the world. After the ceremony he asks her for some money with which to pay an obligation. She refuses, declaring that he shall never have a cent of his money back. She discloses to him the fact that her brother, Rex, who was found shot, had left a note saying that Madison had ruined him, and Margaret had married Luke for revenge. She does not know that Rex had forged Madison's name to a large check. Madison leaves her and wanders about London, trying to understand what happened, when he meets Lewing, an underworld character who has previously brought him a message from Gunner Haynes, a famous American crook. The two are attacked by Joe Connors gang, who think Luke is a detective whom Lewing has put on their trail. Lewing is killed and Madison seriously wounded. He recovers consciousness two weeks later and finds he is known in the hospital only as "Smith." He decides to retain that name. A messenger from Connors calls at the hospital, gives him $25 and the address of a Mrs. Fraser, explaining that there is a room there for him and that the gung wants to make amends for its mistake in attacking him.

He was immediately stabbed by her companion, who is dressed in a man of great height, with a trimmed beard, dressed in a suit. "That's me!" groaned Luke and almost swooned.

If he missed his servant it would creep back to his flat one bag, and fade away into a limbo. But probably his suit the key of the flat. A new ened. Hulbert had an apar in the hospital only as Smith. decides to retain that name. A messenger from Connors calls at the hospital, gives him $25 and the address of a Mrs. Fraser, explaining that there is a room there for him and that the gang wants to make amends for its mistake in attacking him. Luke goes to the Ginnett street address and finds a good room ready for him. Meantime Margaret has had a telegram from Paris signed "Luke" saying he has found consolation elsewhere and will let her have a divorce. She doubts that it is genuine. Danton Morell, a friend of her brother Rex, calls on her to try to get some money. She horrifies him by telling him that she has given all the money which Luke gave her back to his trustee, who is making her an allowance to live on. She is convinced that Luke has gone to his favorite resort in Spain and intends to join him there. Morell realizes that Margaret is in love with her husband and that his own schemes are likely to fall through. While they are talking Gunner Haynts is announced. Morell begs her not to see him, and when she insists, Morell hides in another room. Haynes admits that he is a jewel thief and that he is just out of prison, but Luke Madison had once tried to do him a favor and he wants to return it if possible. He asks if Danton Morell is a friend of hers, and why her husband left her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I should be a little worse than impartinent. And yet, Mrs. Madison, I have a very deep interest in your husband's affairs. I have many bad qualities, but disloyalty is not one of them. Your husband went out of his way to warn me, at a moment when he knew the police were coming to arrest me. If ever there was a white and wholesome man, that man is Luke Madison. I ought not to have asked you the question and I could not very well expect a satisfactory answer. The only thing I am anxious to know is this: have you any idea where your husband is?" "Do you wish to find him?" she challenged. He shook his head. No, but I'd like to know exactly where he is. I have a very special reason for asking this. Is he in London? She shook her head. "He's in Spain at the moment, but I'm afraid I cannot give you the address." "Mr. Morell—is he in Spain? Pardon me, Mrs. Madison, but if I have a reason for asking you the one question, I have a doubly important reason for asking the other. Morell is the kind of man that no decent woman should know—" She walked to the table and pressed the little onyx bell push. This time he smiled. "That means you're going to turn me out, and I don't blame you. I'm afraid I've blundered this interview, which I intended should be very disgusting." Looked guiltily in the direction she indicated. He saw Bird. He was walking with a very pretty girl, but the woman who was at that moment seating her self on one of the park benches he did not recognize. As the brougham turned and came back on the other side of the road, she said suddenly: "There will be a car waiting near the Cavalry Barracks. I hope you can drive?" "Another car?" he asked in astonishment. She nodded. "I want to try you out." He laughed. "All this is very mysterious," he said. The car was waiting for them, a closed light car of English make. There was nobody in attendance, but without hesitation she stopped the brougham and gave the driver instructions. "Here it is," she said. "Get in." Luke sank into the driver's seat and put his foot on the self-starter, and she came in after him, slamming the little door behind her. "Grafton Street," she said, in a businesslike tone. "Pull up opposite the Rean Club." He thought she was testing his driving ability, for he had to pass through three traffic blocks before he brought the machine to a standstill at a place she indicated. "Now you understand," she said, dropping her voice and speaking rapidly. "I'm going in to see my-husband." She looked him straight in the eyes. If he makes a fuss I shall expect you to help me. If he doesn't make a fuss, we'll drive quietly away down Albemarle Street, make for Vauxhall Bridge and Footing Common." "Your husband?" he stammered. She gave him one quick look of suspicion. "That is what you tell the flattle if there is any fuss." What a flattle was she did not explain, and was gone before he could ask her. He kept the engine running according to her instructions. She was gone some twenty minutes. Presently, looking out, he saw her turn the corner from Bond Street and walk with apparent unconcern toward him. As she stepped into the car, a man in his shirt-sleeves darted around the corner flew at her, and gripped her by the arm. She tried to wrench free, and before Luke realized what he was doing he had struck her assailant and sent him tumbling to the pavement. "Drive!" she snapped, and mechanically Luke Maddison sent the machine leaping forward. They crossed Oxford Street, down St James's Street, through the park, and were over Vauxhall Bridge before he partly realized what had happened. "Why did that fellow grab you?" he asked. My husband—I had a row with him," she said calmly. And then: "I knew Connor was wrong." she said, whistled. "If I didn't had my wits looked guilty in the direction she indicated." He saw Bird. He was walking with a very pretty girl, but the woman who was at that moment seating her self on one of the park benches he did not recognize.

Pardon me, Mrs. Maddison, but if I have a reason for asking you the one question, I have a doubly important reason, for asking the other. Morell is the kind of man that no decent woman should know— She walked to the table and pressed the little onyx bell push. This time he smiled. "That means you're going to turn me out, and I don't blame you. I'm afraid I've blundered this interview, which I intended should be very discreet and diplomatic. I particularly wished to know where Mr. Maddison was—" "I have told you," she said, as the maid appeared in the doorway. "As far as Danty Morell is concerned—he began. Her hand pointed to the door. "I am not prepared to discuss my friends—even with the criminal acquaintances of my husband," she said, and she heard him chuckling as he went down the stairs as though at a very good joke. Margaret walked slowly along the asphalt path. As she did so she saw a car coming slowly along the tan on the other side of the road. It was an electric brougham containing two people: a beautiful-looking girl, fashionably dressed; by her side, his face half hidden under a broad-brimmed Stetson hat, a bearded man of striking appearance. Ahead of her was walking a stout-looking man, and by his side a rather pretty girl. As she overtook them she heard the stout man say: "Take a look at that swell woman! That's Jean Gurlay—the biggest crook in London, my dear." Those ahead of her she recognized as the Sparrow and his companion, not wishing to be seen by them, sat down on a garden seat, her eyes following curiously the electric brougham. She saw the machine turn at the Marble Arch and come slowly along by the side of the curb, and she watched with a detached interest the beautiful girl and the bearded man, whose head was turned toward his companion. As they passed she heard the man say: "This is all very mysterious. What does it mean?" In an instant she was on her feet, pals and shaking; she had recognized the voice of the bearded man. It was her husband, he had struck her assailant and sent him tumbling to the pavement. "Drive!" she snapped, and mechanically Luke Maddison sent the machine leaping forward. They crossed Oxford Street, down St. James's Street, through the park, and were over Vauxhall Bridge before he partly realized what had happened. "Why did that fellow grab you?" he asked. "My husband—I had a row with him," she said calmly. And then: "I knew Connor was wrong," she said, and whistled. "If I hadn't had my wits about me and started that husband story, I'd have been half-way to Holloway!" He saw her look at every policeman they passed, out of the corner of her eye, and his heart was beating faster as they came to the edge of Tooting Common, and at her command he stopped the car. "We'll get out here," she said. "You can go back by bus. I'll take a taxi. If Connor comes tonight, tell him I've got the stuff." She turned to go, but he caught her by the arm. "What stuff?" he asked sternly. And then he saw the flat case she carried under her leather coat. "My God!" gasped Luke Maddison. "You stole that!" There was amusement in her fine eyes as she nodded. "Of course I did, you poor slimp!" A taxicab was passing and she hailed it. Slowly his grip on her arm relaxed. He watched the taxi recede like a man in a dream, too stunned even to think. He could never remember that journey back to Lambeth. He had crossed Westminster Bridge when he saw a newsboy with a placard: "Daring West End Robbery." He stood dend still, gazing openmouthed at the contents bill, and then he felt in his pocket and dropped a penny from his trembling hand into the newsboy's palm. He dared not look inside the newspaper until he was in a quiet street. Then he read: DARING WEST END ROBBERY Bearded Man and Pretty Girl Rob - Taffanny's of £20,000 Diamond Necklace A daring robbery was committed this afternoon at Messrs. Taffanny's jewel shop in Bond Street.

City Clark of the City of Anaheim. Pub. 4-3-3t. Camping this Summer? Vacationists who are looking forward to a camping trip this summer in the mountains of California will find much interest in the new map folder entitled "National Forests of California." According to U.S. Forest Service officials, this folder shows all the main roads and highways of the state and lists improved free camp grounds, scenic and recreation areas. Rules which must be observed by national forest visitors are also listed. These include the securing of a camp fire permit, the carrying of a shovel and an ax suitable for fire fighting purposes, and no smoking in the forest during the five season except in camps, at places of habitation and in special posted areas. Among the outstanding scenic attractions located in the national forests of California are Mt. Shasta (14,161 feet) on the Shasta National Forest, the Marble Mountain region of the Klamath National Forest, Lake Tahoe in the Taoho and Eldorado National Forests,iffs River Canyon in the Sierra, Sequoia and Inyo National Forests, Mt. Whitney (14,496 foot) on the boundary line between the Inyo National Forest and Soquila National Park, Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino National Forest and the Larguna Recreation Area on the Cleveland National Forest. The map folder also describes the different forest regions of the state and the commercial resources of the national forest, such as water, timber andorage, which are so important to the economic progress of California. More than 220,000 cattle and horses, and 550,000 sheep and goats are grazed annually on national forest ranges; the sale of mature Government timber results in an annual cut over 290 million feet of lumber, and hydroelectric plants develop 1,500,000 horsepower from streams rising in the national forests. The total revenue from all resources of the national forests is approximately $1,400,000 each year. Of this amount, 25 per cent is returned, in lieu of taxes, to the counties in which the national forests are located, for schools and roads. An additional 10 per cent of the receipts is provided by the Forest Service in road and park districts. April 22 and 23 there will be theater parties. Garden tours will start on Tuesday and continue each day for the rest of the week. The children's parade is on Thursday and the flower show opens Thursday for two days. Friday and Saturday nights will be dance pageants with floral themes. Streets of the city will be lavishly decorated with growing flowers. Merchants will decorate store windows with flowers and with orange blossoms in bloom, it promises to be a delightful week for vast numbers of persons, both resident and non-resident. Prison Raised Foodstuff Goal At San Quentin A prison farm, where selected prisoners could cultivate foodstuffs for other state institutions and at the same time earn small salaries, is urged by Warden James B. Holohan. The need for such outlet for the energies of prisoners becomes more dire. Holohan said, as San Quentin, already the largest penal institution in the world, grows still more crowded. "The road camps are an unqualified success," he said. "Here, in seven different camps, some 600 men are working out their time, earning small wages and getting the benefit of hardening outdoor labor." "There have been few escapes." "If California could establish a good-sized farm near enough the center of things and at the same time in a place that would not arouse local resentment it would be an ideal solution for the problem of idle men." "Occupation for the prisoners at present is limited." The jute mills, plus small industries within and outside the walls, employ approximately half of the 6000 inmates. Some Startling Figures A few days ago we came into possession of a bulletin issued by the United States Department of Agriculture showing the actual figures for exports and imports of dairy products, oleomargarine and eggs for the month of October of last year. We were amazed at the amount of the imports into this country of those items which are so vital to the prosperity of the American farmer. It is a fact that the price paid for butter is largely based on the market price of cheese in many instances. Look at the sixty-two million pounds of foreign cheese brought into this country to compete with and to lower the price of our own cheese and we begin to see a little light if they why of our small butter price. Then ten million pounds of dried eggs in the total have been brought into this country since January, 1929, to November 1 and we get a little more light on why of the cheapness NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR AUTOMOBILE Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to the hour of eight o'clock p.m. of Tuesday, the 8th day of April, 1930, for furnishing to said city one automobile for use of the police department! Said automobile shall be of standard manufacture, without spot lights or siren; it shall be finished in white to comply with the regulations of the California Highway Patrol, and shall not cost more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). Detailed specifications of the automobile proposed to be furnished must accompany each proposal. Each proposal must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check, payable to City of Anaheim, in an amount not less than ten per cent of such proposal; the check of the successful bidder will be held by said City until the delivery and acceptance of the automobile, as a guarantee of the faithful performance of the contract. Further information may be obtained at the office of the City Manager of said city, and all proposals must be on forms furnished by said City Manager. The City Council of said City reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. Dated this 12th day of March, 1930. EDWARD B.

Of this amount, 25 per cent is returned, in lieu of taxes, to the counties in which the national forests are located, for schools and roads. An additional 10 per cent of the receipts is spent by the Forest Service in road and trail construction within the national forests. The Forest Service has constructed 1,647 miles of roads and 3,028 miles of trails within and adjacent to the national forests, with a total expenditure to 1929, for the construction and maintenance of existing roads and trails, of $11,300,000. National forest visitors are cautioned about the danger from forest fires and their serious results are explained by reference to a five-year record of fires in the national forests of the state. The total loss from forest fires from 1924 to 1929 is estimated to be $5,800,000. Copies of the "National Forests of California" map folder may be secured on request from forest supervisors located in Yreka, Mt. Shasta, Bishop, Weaverville, Willows, Alturas, Susanville, Quincy, Nevada City, Placerville, Sonora, North Fork, Porterville, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Diego, and Minden, Nevada, and from the U. S. Forest Service, San Francisco. Big Year for Honey Twenty million or so California bees are in a very contented state of health and happiness, according to the state department of agriculture. In other words, it looks like a big year for the honey and wax men, for early fruit blooming and wild flowers springing forth in abundance, are responsible for the bees getting busy earlier. Foulbrood is less in evidence than at any time since the beginning of the state's regulation of the apiary industry, there being less than one per cent, according to experts.

Children Love Its Pleasant Taste If your little one is out-of-south, won't play, seems sick, languid, not natural—inspect the bowels. A teaspoonful of delicious "California Fig Syrup" given anytime sweetens the stomach and soon moves the sour fermentations, grasses, poisons and indigestible matter right out of the bowels and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers depend upon this gentle, harmless laxative. It never cramps or overruns. Contains no narcotics or soothing drugs. Say "California" to your druggist and avoid counterfeits. Insist upon genuine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and children of all ages plainly printed on bottle.
