"THE PRINCESS COMES ACROSS"
(Continued from page 4)
"B-50!" shouted Cragg. "Petroff's cabin!"
"A couple of sweet little murders you boys have on your hands," commentd the stranger, apparently unperturbed.
"Who are you, my man?" demanded Cragg. "Let me see your passport."
"I haven't one." Again that easy grin. "I'm a stowaway. The name is Tom Smith; I cover the water-front for the New York Bulletin. It's like this; I'm suddenly taken drunk in New York—on a steamer: I wake up in Paris; no money—no passport—nothing but a headache and my li'l pigcons."
"Pigeons?" The Captain started open-mouthed.
"Yeh. We use 'em to carry photos back to the press room."
"Humph! A likely story, I must say," grunted Cragg. "Better lock him up, Captain."
"Vait!" the Princess cried at that moment. "Look!" she was pointing at a mirror which had fallen to the floor face up. In it was reflected three passports fastened with adhesive tape to the underside of the dresser. The girl quickly reached underneath the piece of furniture, pulled the papers loose and handed them to Cragg.
"Passports!" muttered the Englishman. He opened one and started doubtfully. The picture showed a dark-skinned Hindu in native costume wearing a turban and mustache. Although it bore the name "Saladin Singhu" that face looked peculiarly familiar.
"Could that be Lorel?" marvelled the Captain.
NATION'S BEST TO BAKE $70,000 COUNTY R
Over 1000 entries including the fastest running and harnesses of $70,000 hung up in purses for the 1936 classic to be staged in County Fair at Pomona. The program calls for two harnesses and mutuels each week-day afternoon. Sundays will be given over to staged Sept. 29, 30 and Oct. 1.
In a stupor she suddenly forgot her accent and tore loose with a stream of Brooklynese. "Well, why don't you do something? Do you want him to kill Mandini, too?
Why did you say Darey killed by one of only three sons?"
There were three nChecked on his list. He c
"Passports!" muttered the Englishman. He opened one and started doubtfully. The picture showed a dark-skinned Hindu in native costume wearing a turban and mustache. Although it bore the name "Saladin Singhu" that face looked peculiarly familiar.
"Could that be Lorel?" marvelled the Captain.
The Princess herself opened the second passport and gasped with horror. The photograph on that one was of Lorel, but the name under it was "Paul Merko."
"Merko! Lorel!" Her hand flew to her throat.
"By George! Then he is on board!" Cragg's pipestem snapped between his teeth.
"On board!" wailed the Princess. "He's walking around the ship now—with Mandini. I asked him to!" As the others started at her in a stupor she suddenly forgot her accent and tore loose with a stream of Brooklynese. "Well, why don't you do something? Do you want him to kill Mandini, too? Quit staring at me—you dumb lugs—something's got to be done. Snap into it!"
She rushed for the door followed by the others.
CHAPTER X
In their wanderings around the deck King and Lorel finally arrived at the taff rail far up in the bow of the vessel. For a while they leaned over the side, watching the snoring waves. Then Lorel spoke.
"Monsieur," he murmured.

"Why did you say Darcy killed by one of only three sons?"
"There were three naughty checked on his list. He came me first..."
"Careful, my friend; do not criminate yourself."
"I won't. Before Darcy killed I knew he had told me your prison record. You see fused to pay him off."
"That is amusing," chuckle Frenchman, "because I didn't know of your record until I ed the Paris police for information about you after the mug."
"Didn't Darcy tell you?" become suddenly tense.
"No."
"Then you—you must third victim Darcy was go shake down."
"Surely Monsieur," Lorel still pleasant and dignified. "do not insinuate that Chloe Lorel of the Paris Surete is jeet for blackmail."
"What did Darcy talk about?"
"We did not talk." Lorraine graciously.
"You're a liar, Lorell!" eyes narrowed dangerously only man who'd be walked deck with me at this hour be the man who killed Stok I've been waiting." He said his face going blank as he raised his hands in the air.
"It is foolish to be too my friend," said his com-ming digging an automatic into his "Steindorf will tell you... we say adieu have you any quests to make of Paul Merco-" Er—yes," King stalled.

Is the ability to eat ONE salted peanut, or to keep on using the old washing machine with SANITARY'S prices and quality staring you in the face, and further it has been proved by the AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF LAUNDERING (of which we are a member) that 109 laundries had a loss of tensile strength in 20 washings of 6.4%, BUT of 10 families 20 washings had a loss of 8.4% showing that home washing was one third harder on goods than was laundries using American Institute of Laundering methods — which WE DO. This was all done under scientific and unbiased supervision and are authentic. Send your washing to us and be SAFE. Phone Anaheim 4503, Al Johnson, Agent, for our driver to call for your next bundle.

wish myself." Merko waved him toward the rail. "You and I, my friend, are artists. Keep moving. All will be over in a moment."
"It's practically over now, Mister," remarked Benton, as he sprang from behind a lifeboat and jammed an automatic into Merko's ribs. "Thanks for talking so much. Now give me that heater and back up against the rail."
Without moving a muscle of his face the murderer handed over his gun, but he backed up, not against the rail, but against an opening in it provided for lowering the lifeboat.
"I say—Mandini," they heard Cragg's voice calling. A moment later the inspector dashed up, followed by the others. "You all right, old chap?"
"Take it easy, boys," grinned King. "And meet Mr. Paul Merko."
"Monsieur Mandini..." Merko was pleading in his turn now. F answer King placed a finger Benton's arm. The latter lower his gun.
"Well, Merko—this looks like the end," mocked Cragg.
