----'ll On the Atlantic— - ---Day by Day V-.-- ___j By O. O. M’INTYRF.. On the Atlantic, April 9.—Of nil tire countries in Kurope, returning travelers are the most enthusiastic about Germany. My information comes second hand. 1 was not there. 3t may be subtle propaganda, but 1 doubt it. They all say Germany is making a remarkable come-back. It is leading in ship building and ils people are the most prosperous in all Kurope. Berlin is becoming » fashion center for women. The "Deutschland uher alios" spirit will not <iie. Cities that were deserted are now hustling with life. 'Phis from a director of a big Brit ish shipping line; “Germany is already waging an economic war. and unless the rest of Kurope stirs its stumps it will win." And as he talked l gassed out a window at the sea and could not help but think of the Lusitania and shudder. The most satisfying thing to me about a trip to Kurope is the larger appreciation we gather of our own country. The immensity of it is fairly staggering. We do not resort to sub terfuges that smoke screens Kurope. We are direct. We know how to do thing.* and do them well. They like to call us boasting Amer icans. We do not have to boast. We have the goods. And there is infinite* ]v more boasting among the Knglish and French than there is among the Americans. I know nothing of di plomacy. but common sense tells me we should avoid all Kuropean entan glements. We are suffic ient to ourselves. Thus ended the sermon. And another lit tie warning. Don’t order eggs the tJblifth day out without first opening the porthole. Land is not so far away. A few' sra gulls have been sighted. We will probably reach Ambrose Channel Lightship by noon tomorrow’ and New York Is only 23 miles from there. The gentleman in the cabin next t«» mine has a double hyphenated name. But this swank does not pre vent his winning all the high, low and middle long distance snoring record* for the trip. Several nights 1 wanted to hurl the verbal classic that once greeted Louis Mann during a banquet speech. It was “Louder and funnier! ' Those in a position to know. sa> 1 do not snore. But 1 talk in my sleep. After regaling myself with a cold baked potato at midnight last and falling asleep I jabbered for a half hour with the skipper of the ship. I told him I could run a ship better than he and that I wanted none of his Impudent hack talk. 1 intimated that I owned the line, thus proving that I can lie while asleep as well as awake. My official sweetheart for the re turn voyage is a silver haired little lady of 7 4 summers. She is from Wales and. as might he imagined, her name is Davis. She has never missed a meal. Her eyes are clear and her skin fair. The years have not left her dry and wrinkled. 1 do not be lieve anyone lias enjoyed the voyage more than she and she has crossed many times. Not to grow old! Not to become lamed! W hat an achieve men!! A cockney voice at the door. “Boots, sir!" and an extended hand. The tip ping time has arrived. Let them come. I'm used to it. In the steerage Is an acrobatic troupe—Bedouins. I believe—who are on their way to America for a vaude ville engagement. Kadi morning they are up early rehearsing their tum bling and their flying figures do much to relieve the tedium far down in the bowels of the liner. (Copyright, 1925.) -——— --\ The Long Green Gaze A Cross Word Puzzle Mystery By Vincent Fuller ---' < f ont limed from Yesterday). “It's clear enough to me,” Burke said to Jarvis, when he came into the library, “that we’re going to get something nut of this that will dear up all the mystery there's been so far. It’s evident enough that (’halfontc is the man who’s been sending these cross*word puzzles. It’s also dear, isn’t it? that he didn't do the murder —unless, of course, this is a case of suicide? 1 don't think that’s likely. What 1 want you to do is to solve this cross-word puzzle we found on ('halfonte’s table. And t want you to solve b quick. For the moment, I'm trusting you. I've looked you up pretty thoroughly, and T don'i believe you’re the man we’re after. The per son 1 have in mind now I'm not tell ing you. But go ahead on this. The fellow shadowing Chalfonte after be left headquarters last night doesn’t have much to say. Chalfonte ate dinner’at the Dixie Cabaret, went out to Harry Vernon's, th^ lawyer’s, and then came up here. Only one thing: The man had Instructions only t»> shadow him as far as the house. All ^ythat the shadow saw when lie fol lowed In a taxi was that (’halfontc had been looking in a window, and when the lights of the cat hit him. ho staggered bark like he didn’t want m b0 caught looking In. Now it may be that he discovered something and that what he discovered is in this puzzle. Anyway, I want you to solve it.” With this he handed the puzzle to Jarvis. Jarvis looked at it only| a minute before he called after Burke. •'Does this look to you as if (’halfontc had made the other puzzles, too? It doesn't to me.” Rurke came hack to examine it more closely. “Maybe you're right.'' he admitted. Rut go ahead and solve It. and don't say a word about It to anybody else.” Then 1 11 go to my room, where 1 won t be disturbed." Next Rurke sought Soames and questioned him. and then Ted. Their stories did not vary from what is a h eady know n. Rose came next. She admitted.! with a toss of her head, that she had been wakeful a great part of the night, that she had heard people coming and going. She had heard, also, the knocking of Chalfonte at. the door, and had heard Soames going down to let him In. What they had said, she had not heard distinctly. "How did you know that It w.if Soames going down to let Chalfonte In’?” I didn't know*. I just supposed that if was Soames. It would be his duty to let him In.” Rurke tensed himself a little when Helen, the next to he quizzed, admit ted that after the others had gone to bed she bad descended to the library lo get a book; that she had been finite unable to sleep. "What book did you get?” "I got the—the encyclopedia. 1 ^ wanted to look tip something on—on Port ugal.” “Where is It now’?” j "In my room on the window sill. “Were the lights on— tin* night light*—when you went down? "Yes. tliev were. Just as usual.” "Was a n y hod v else stirring when i you went down?” "Nobody It was so ghostly T al K)nut wished Hist sonielsalv were "Did voii hear any mdses fluting tin- night ?” • | have n dim memory <»f a knock ing it roused me from sleep, and I sat up in bed shivering. Rut I was worn nut by that time and when 1 heard Soames’ voice, all quiet like, I ■lipped to the door, opened It a crack, ■ lift saw Chalfonte p<> into hi* room. Then I dropped off to sleep again and didn’t hear anything until I was wak ened this morning by their knocking ■ t (’halfonte's door.” Minty. Ted and Janet reported that they had slept soundly and had heard nothing. And so it went with Cor delia and Johnson, the maid. Rurke reported his findings to ihe corner, when he came, and to Smith, the district attorney. Smith was cooler than the excited Burke. "Well, we ought to get them now.” he said. "We’re fm the Job right off this time, and we got a lot of facts we didn’t have before. Have von any theory about the death, cor oner?” "Chalfonte died by the same poison used on Mrs. Dunseath. ! think.” he said. "I’m confident the analysis will bear me out. i’ll have it made at once. The body has Hi ready gone. What bothers m#* is this: there’s noth ing In Hie room that give,, any In dimfIon of having been used In pois oning him. He came In at « lit He ■ Met two. He evidently worked all r night on Ihe puzzle, and he hadn t been dead over 1 w n hours when I got. here. That would place the death at about Six o'clock. A lid all the doors and windows were In# ked «>n Hie inside A hat WH* over It > c-oat was along the Ihfeshokl K\er> window was securely locked, and •»*' tftlmluwa can't be locked from th<* outside. It s evident that t’halfonte was alone in that room for several hours. Furthermore, he seemed to he afraid that somebody might enter, or at least know that he was awake and at work. Of course, this death may be suicide. Blit I can see no reason for a suicide’s concealing the way in which he has killed himself. There is a reason for a murderer to conceal the way in which he kills. But how ('halfonte could have been killed—through the walls of the house, as it were—at six o’clock, I don't know. Is there anything that shows anybody up at six o'clock?” "Soames may have been up then. He says be got up at six-twenty, and came right down to waken t’hal fonte.” "It's evident that t'halfonte had the good* on somebody. Now who was it?” The puzzle may show that,” Burk * said. "I’ll get it.” In two minutes be was back. *‘I had Marsden working it. you know, Doctor,” he explained to the coroner. "Take a look at it, will you? I've warned Marsden to keep his mouth shut, and now look here.” Tie low ered his voice for the remainder of what he had to say: “The thing we have to do i« to keep this watched”— he pointed to vertical 10—"without anybody's suspecting that it's being watched. Then, if this vertical ft is in it. the person indicated by th*» starred words, horizontals 1 to 35, is going to be back—sometime.” The coroner and Smith nodded as sent as together they bent over the puzzle, studying it.
