CHAPTER XXVI
Eddie went to the largest hotel
and registered.
''"You hare no baggage with
you, Mr. Regan?" the clerk asked,
looking at the register.
"I am buying some things and
Til have them sent up to the
room," he explained.
. He went down the principal
street and his reflection in the
tore windows looked thoroughly
shabby. He was fitted in a cloth
Ins store with a new suit of blue
serge and before he left he had
bought twenty-fire dollars worth
of haberdashery besides. While
the alterations were being made
on his new suit he went into the
grill room of the hotel and order
ed luncheon. Somehow the at
mosphere of a restaurant restored
to him something of his old care
free demeanor. He lit a cigarette
while waiting for the meal and
filled his lungs with smoke. Again
that night he returned to the grill,
dressed smartly in his new clothes.
Later on he meant to go to a mov-
-le.
A hand clapped him on the
shoulder from behind and turn
Ing he looked up at a dark, smil
ing face.
"Well I'll be darned Mike Ar
no!"
Eddie was on his feet, shaking
-Bands with the tall, deftly groom
ed man. Mike Arno was older
than Eddie and wiser, too, if
there was any significance in the
brightness of hi3 dark eyes and
the foi-like smile around his thin
lips. NeTer exactly a member of
the Big Guy's gang. Arno had,
neyertheless, been of hl3 breed and
association. Sometimes he had
been referred to as the "Lone
Wolf."
He sat down beside Eddie and
a clond of cigarette smoke rose
around his head.
"I heard about the vanishing
act you did through a bathroom
-window. Kid," he said with a sar
donic appreciation. "What in hell
was it all about?"
, 'Eddie shrugged. Arno looked
at him with bright discerning
eyes'.
"If you took it on the run be
cause you were having any trou
ble with the Big Guy you need
n't wait any longer to go back.
I suppose you've heard the big
news?"
Eddie shook his head.
"The Big Guy pot knocked off.
He went out with the mob one
night a thing he should never
have did and the cops was lay- i
Ing for em. Tliey got the Rig
Guy with seven or, eight bullets
light through the chest. The
vhole mob has gone to smash
so you ain't got a thing on earth
to worry about. Kid. You can go
back to New York any time you
kant to."
A swirl of amazement of re
lief passed through Eddie. Sub
consciously he had carried with
KNOW HOW TO REVIVE
VICTIM OF DROWNING
Prompt Aid and Perseverance May Prevent Many
of the Summer Swimming Tragedies, Says
Dr. Copeland, Listing First Aid Methods.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Wormier Commissioner of Health, yew York City.
ALTHOUGH the weather was cold and somewhat backward this
year, there were many people brave enough to venture into the
water even in the very early Spring. Most of these venturesome
nes kaew how to swim, but even among good swimmers accidents
eften eccur.
One may have a severe cramp in the leg, or
other part of the body; a sudden sinking spell,
or perhaps an acute heart attack as a result of
going into the water too soon after eating. Any
', one ef these accidents may result in tragedy, or
j Bear tragedy. Every Summer has its quota of
accidents from drowning or some other water
ibaxard.
At the first news of drowning, send for a
' 'doctor and a pulmotor. You must not trust to
iyonr own efforts, but make use of them only
! until a more experienced person
scene.
As soon as a person who has been submerged
for any period of time is brought from the water,
immediate steps should be taken to restore him.
Perhaps these suggestions will be helpful:
1. Do not waste time removing clothing.
2. Place the victim face downward on the ground, with a folded
eoat or any other garment under his chest.
3. Kneel at one side of the patient's body, facing his head.
4. Place the hands on the lower ribs and bear the weight of your
body forward to produce pressure on
sis chest.
a. Raise your body to relieve pres
sure, but do not remove the hands
from position.
6. Repeat this alternation of pres
sure and relief until natural respira
tion haa been resumed.
7. When normal breathing begins
ajainY turn the victim on his face,
rub briskly, always toward the
heart, rive stimulants, and as soon
s possible ret him to bed. Cover
with hot blankets and surround him
with hotwater bottles. Be careful
not to burn the unconscious person.
Harsh handling must be avoided.
Ttollinr over a barrel is too crude
nd rough a thing to do. The gentle
method here described Is much to be
preferred
Bear In mind that the purpose of
your treatment is to get air into the
lungs. You must be sure the mouth
Is free from mud and weeds, and
that no false teeth are there to ob
struct breathing. The tongue should
be well forward
The pressure and relief should be
mo timed as to give twelve or four
teen breaths per minute. Don't get
excited and overdo your movements.
- Don't give up. Keep at your ef
. forts for an hour or more. There Is
no greater satisfaction than to hear
that first voluntary gasp for air.
Ton will be amazed at your ex
altation. ' Tners Is no finer exercise than
. swimming. For those who indulge, I
doubt If there is a more enjoyable
- one. But every swimmer should be
well nrrnt la resuscitating" one less
- tort gnats than himself.

he fled from New York and now
it was ended. The Big Guy was
dead. It scarcely seemed possj
blt, so filled with brazen domi
nance had the mob's leader been
on that last night back there. The
hand that had held the point of
life or death for his underlings
was now futile and motionless. A
load was lifted from Eddie's
chest. No longer was he an exile
and an outcast from his native
city. Mike Arno informed him
further that the sub-leaders of the
gang had been arrested and
speedily convicted. But for his
own last minute flight he too
might now be dead or In prison.
A shiver of relief ran through
him.
"You don't seem to feel very
bad about It," Mike Amo sug
gested. "I don't Eddie said. "The Big
Guy got what was coming to him.
He made a lot of little guys do the
dirty work and he got the big
dough. Thank God. I broke away
in time. What are you doing
down here in the sticks, Mike?"
Arno closed one eye slowly.
"I'm a business man," he said,
"and there's a rich bozo here in
town that's going back with me
to New York and learn how to tap
a telegraph wire and beat the
race?."
Eddie couldn't help grinning.
"Do you mean to tell me, Mike,
they're still falling for that old
game?"
Arno narrowed his shoulders.
"Why not? There's a million
suckers never heard of it yet. But
listen. Kid, you haven't told me
yet what's your racket down here
in Dixie."
Coffee was served to them and
Eddie felt comfortably expansive.
His principal companion for
months past had been an ignorant
old negro, and it was good again to
be with Bomeone who knew what
was going on in the world.
"Why, Mike. I'm not on any
racket a-tall. You see this suit of
clothes I've got on?"
"I was looking at it," Mike said.
"It looks pretty good a little
hick but O. K. I guess."
"That suit was bought with
honest money, Mike. You see this
sunburn on my face? Look at my
hands." He thrust his palms up
ward against the table, and they
were hard and calloused. "I got
thh way from workiDg outdoors
in the open air."
Mike's eyes were puzzled. "All
right. I'll bite. What's the an
swer?"
"Maybe you won t believe It
but I inherited a farm, Mike. I
got off a freight down here and
oe of the finest old gentlemen
that ever lived took me into his
house. He liked me and I liked
him and he didn't have any rela

"You might call it that."
Mike whistled under his breath.
"Well, we can't all be that lucky;
some of us have to dig for a Hy
ing. So you're running the place,
are you? Going to stay with It?"
"I guess so."
Mike leaned back and lit an
other cigarette. "Guys like you
that fall In soft in life always
get my goat. Take me. When I'm

tlmexand you never know when
you're going to get a bad break

Bernice Veressi . . . her svelte,

like a visitation in Eddie's eyes

kind . . . Bernice. she understood
what it was all about.

SEATTLE, Aug. 12. (AP)
Seven persons were injured here
tonight, one critically, when a
speeding fire department ladder
truck suddenly "blew up" on Sec
ond avenue. Hundreds of specta
tors lining the sidewalks were
terror-stricken, the milling crowds
adding to the difficulties of the
police and ambulance squads.
As the fire truck sped down the
avenue, scheduled as a thrill at j
the celebration of the Second are. i
nue extension, the fly wheel burst !
and the whole transmission was
hurled up through the floor of the
truck.
Pieces of metal and transmis
sion parts were sent among the
crowded streets like shrapnel, one
piece of steel sailing through a
window In a large department i
store.

Try as they would. M1J, Plor,
Hanid and Yam the little shad

names couldn't get Miss Doll to
open her eyes. Now this was In
convenient for one reason. She
was the only one who knew the
answer to the riddle she had Just j
told. Neither the shadow children j
nor the other guests at her patty j
in her doll-house could possibly
guess it.
It was Knarf's fault.
re-
member, that she had so sudden- i
ly closed her eyes. The little !
shadow-boy seeking mischief, had j
pulled at one of her golden curls i
just as she was about to tell the
answer to the riddle. Instead of
speaking, she toppled off the chair
and being a sleeping doll, instant
ly closed her eyes.

With the help of the tin-soldier.
Jack-ln-the-Box and the Roly-Poly
family, the shadow-children tried
their utmost to lift her back on
the chair again. But as the tin
soldier was afraid to bend for
fear of breaking in two, and Mr.
Jack had no legs to stand on, and
the Itoly-Polys were rolling all
over themselves, they could do
nothing.
"Well." said Hanid at length,
"it's no use trying any longer.
We'll have to leave her as she is
and do our best to guess the rid

"What do we have to guess It
for?" asrked Knarf, not the loast

"Riddles have to be guessed!"
said Hanid sternly. "If it hadn't
been for you we should have
known it by now."
"Humph," said the impertinent
shadow-boy, "I'll guess it without
any trouble at all. Just tell mc
ho.w It goes."
"I remember it," Yam said.
And she recited It as follows:
"My first is in bell.
My second's there as well,
My third is very much harder
to spell.

"Just let me think." Suddenly he
exclaimed: "I have it. It's the

"That begins with E and ends
with T all right." Yam said, "but
it doesn't agree with any of the

to think again. By and by he
uttered another exclamation. This
time he knew he had the right
word because not only did it be

had three syllables as well.
"The word," he said boastfully,
"is ELEMENT."

"That's Just what I was about to

If You've a Taste for Shellfish
Try These Tested
Recipe
To get the maximum favor out
of a crab dish, buy fresh crab,
meat of a dependable market.
Still, that isn't the way every
body prefers it. Many persons
regard the soft-shell crab, com.
pletely but lightly fried, as a su
perior delicacy, even though one
doesn't get nearly so much meat
out of it as the crab-flake sep
arated from shell.
Crabs, like all shellfish, must
be alive to be safely edible, and
should be purchased only In the
best of markets. To prepare soft
shell crabs, first wash in cold
water. Scrape away every bit of
spongy substance under the back
shell, also the sandbag between
the eyes, and the semi-circular
piece of dark soft shell .railed
the "apron" which Is readily seen
by turning the crab on its back.
Then rinse again in cold water
and dry on a clean towel. Place
the crabs In beaten egg. seasoned
with salt and pepper, then sprin
kle with crumbs. Keep them
very cold during the process.
Then drop into hot deep fat
enough to let the crabs swim,
fry for three minutes, and no
more than two at a time. ..(If
too many ?rabs are put in they
will reduce the heat to such a
point that the crumbs will absorb
grease instead of restating it.)
When light brown, lift out of the
pan, drain on paper and serve
with quarters of lemon or melted
butter and lemon.
A simpler, and possibly more
wholesome method of preparation
is to broil them. After washing
and cleaning as above, place the
crabs under a broiler and cook on
both sides for about eight or ten
minutes. Serve at once accom
panied by melted butter.
Or the crabs can be cleaned,
dried, brushed with melted but
ter and some sifted breadcrumbs.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place in a very hot oven and bake
for ten or fifteen minutes. !
