HYXOrMS.
Captain Arthur Pelham, arriving In
London from Bombay, India, after
several years' absence, is told by a
railway porter of his strong resem
blance to Sir Arthur, who he says
waa killed in France.
Pelham declares that hlg cousin
la very much alive.
Jenkins, ihe porter, tella of words
be heard the supposedly dying man
repeat and declares that these names
have been seen signed to personal
items in the "Agony Column" of a
London newspaper.
After going to a hotel. Captain
Pelham decides to join in the fun
and writes a personal addressed to
"Matador and Vaquero" who had
signed the ones which drew his at
tention. He warns both that "Bull"
la after them.
"Scotland Yard will know of this in
the morning." remarks one of the
clerks in the advertising office.
On a midnight walk Pelham walks
through the gntes of the family manor
and immediately Is set upon by an
other intruder. A policeman catches
him but allows his assailant to es
cape.
After being questioned at police
headquarters. Pelham returns to his
lodgings.
Next morning C. F Prideaux of
Scotland Yard calls upon him and
hears his story from the time he ar
rived in London to his fight of the
previous evening.
When the official from the criminal
in vestlgatlon department hears that

rase incnmses and he agrees to use
the co-operation of relnam in the
clearing of the mystery
Phyllis Daunt, fiance of Sir Arthur
Pelham, calls on Captain Pelham
while Prtdeau* is with him. She
tells of meeting the titled English
man and of her suspiclona. She feeia
In duty bound to marry the baronet.
The army officer ia impressed with

(Continued From Yesterday.)
“Are you ‘Vaquero’ or 'Matador?’"
he said, smiling into the other's some
what prominent eyes. He had not
erred. A gleam of rancour rather
than fear shot at him for an infin
itsntal part of a second. There came
a murmur. In Spanish he believed,
that the stranger spoke no English,
ami again Pelham had to decide that
it was impossible to grab an Inof
fensive person he had never before
met and hand him over to a police
man on no charge whatsoever.
"Such things are not done in Eon
don,” he mused. "Now, if I had him
in Peshawur—”
And thus passed an opportunity.

Vet even Prldeaux had to admit
that Pelham could not have acted
otherwise, when the lHtter found him
by telephone and told of his and
Phyllis's nebulous suspicions, since
they were little else,
"Let me understand," came the
high pitched, cleun-cut voice, rather
vexedly Pelham thought. "On two
occasions now you have,,so to speak,
flung certain noma de guerrs into
the teeth of those caballeroh'.’”
"Yes.’’
"Well, young man, you seem to be
looking for trouble. When you find
some, let me know. By the way. that
young lady told the truth about com
ing from Kings Cross. I have
checked up her taxi. . . What’s that?
. . . We take nothing for granted.
I assumed she was reliable, but I
made sure.”
Pelham was fuming when he hung
up the telephone, How dare that
little mountebank of a detective doubt
the word of a girl like Phyllis?
He ran "Tum-tum" Drummer to
earth in the smoking room of the
“Bag." With him was a saturlne,

Manufacturing has had. a re
markable growth here. If fig
ures speak truths this city is
well on its way to become the
great industrial center of the
middle west
REMEMBER THIS! In 1900
Omaha’s total manufacturing
was $116,000,000 and in 1922
it was $327,000,00. A
STEADY GROWTH —NOT
A B O O M — IS TAKING
PLACE.
The 1923 figures should be ^
near the half a billion mark.
Omaha’s low power rates has
been a great factor in bringing
this about, for low rates always
attract industries.
Omaha’s power and light rates
are among the very lowest in
America.
These extremely low rates have
been made possible by the ef
ficient production and distri
bution of electric energy by
our company which has at
tained the reputation of having
one of the most efficient plants

the peel and pips.
"Who the devil deputised for you
this morning, Arthur?" was the
stout major's greeting.
"A friend, who promised to lot you
know I couldn't come to lunch.
“Yes. but what did he mean by
saying you might turn your atten
tion to peaches?"
"Don't ask me, old thing. He's
mad as a March hare.”
"Well, this Is my South African
pal, Anthony Close. He tells me that
by taking up land at the Cape to
the tune of five hundred quid you'll
have a place worth five thousand In
five years, and meanwhile live at the
rate of five hundred a year.”
"I wish he could vary the figures a
bit,” grinned Pelham, subsiding into
a chair. "All those fives sound like
a racket-court, and it’s horribly hot
today."
"Oranges, lemons, grapefruit and
limes—’’ began Mr. Close, but hap
pily another man came along, hailed
Drummer and Pelham joyously, and
suggested long drlpks, with Ice in
them.
"By the way, you were at Boos,
Tum-tum, I think," said Pelham.
"Did you happen to run across my
cousin, Sir Arthur Pelham, in one of
the Guards Battalions?''
"Rri’ther. Not a bit like you, old
beau. A regular stick. Seemed to
have a grouch because the guards
couldn’t wear their bearskins, to dif
ferentiate ’em. don’t you know, from
common army men.’’
"Do you mean that he does not re
semble me, or that lie hasn’t my
happv disposition?”
"Oh, there's a family likeness all
right, just as there is among coco
nuts, but there's no milk in him.
Still, poor chap, he got badly cut up
in those infernal quarries. They
made a horrible mess of him. Oh, I
forgot. You two don't hit it off."
“Have you seen him lately?"
"Not for a year or more. He
hardly ever cotnes here. Anyhow, he'd
use the Guards’ club."
"But you have seen him?”
"Yes, two 01 three times.”
"Isn't he all right again?”
“ His face never will be right. He
was badly gashed with shell, and lost
the tip of ond ear. Got something
internal, too, That is why he was
exchanged."
"How old is your cousin?" put In
Mr. Anthony Close.
"About two years my senior," said
Pel ham.
"Then It would be his father I met
in Johannesburg about 1907. A very
shrewd person. He stood well In with
the German banking crowd at that
time.”
"Didn't he marry a German?”
asked Drummer.
"Yes."
"Funny, Isn't it. how the Teutonic
type persists in the voice? 1 expect
Sir Arthur was made to speak Ger
man as a kid.”
"He was,” said the fourth man
“He and I were at Eton together, and
I remember he did well in mods and
maths.”
“He must have got the mathe
matical side from his father," put
in Mr. Close drily, thus hinting that
his acquaintance with the firs; baro
net all those years ago in the Trans
vaal did not evoke happy recollec
tions.
"Now*, about this orange-growlng
stunt,” began Drummer. Hut Pelham
was not fated to hear any fruit-farm
ing details that day. An attendant
came to say he was wanted on the
telephone.
"Who In the world knows I am
here?” he could not help exclaiming.
“Am I bewitched?”
He hurried off. and a calm, agree
able voice apologized for disturbing
him.
"I am Superintendent Somers, of
the C. I. D.," went on the speaker.
"Mr. P. has just left me. We are
anximis to have a word with that
railway porter. If you are not other
wise engaged this evening could you
possibly look him up and have him at
your flat about 9 p. m ?”
"I'm free enough. Mr. Somers, but
naturally I cannot vouch for him."
"Just so. Would you mind calling
at Victoria and trying to secure him?
If you fall, give me a ring here at
8:30. Otherwise we'll be with you
at 9.”
Pelham promised to do his best. As
he walked hack to the smoking-room
he could hardly avoid- the reflection
that he had stepped from a world
of somewhat drab realism into a
stage setting of romantic drama the
moment he set foot on the platform
at Victoria. He was so serious-faced
when he rejoined his friends that
Drummer said instantly:
"Had luck, old top! She has a date
with the other Johnny!”
"Worse than that. I've got to find
a fellow with whiskers, and entertain
him.”
"That's tough. Don’t let anyone
see you. A respectable young sojer
like you, looking for a Job, too, can’t
be too careful.”
"We were talking about your
cousin. Pelham.” said Jameson, the
thirsty one. "How did you two come
to have the same Christian name?"
"It was our grandfather's name,
and my father quarrelled with his
brother, the first baronet. There was
something about keeping1 one branch
of the family clear of the Herman
taint. A poor reason, hut the only
one I was ever given.”
"Let me see. Weren't you at Wel
lington?” .
"Yes.”
"Ah, It all comes hack now. Our
Arthur Pelham wouldn't play In the
Hughy team because you were in the
opposition one. He was a clever for
ward, and we missed him. You
scored two goals for Wellington that
year. We were sore with him all the
winter, and he was left out of the
Hnrrow match. Small world, Isn't
It?”
"Some people seem to think no.
They are trying constantly to push
others off the map."
Thus Mr. Close, who evidently
could not forget some grievance of
hygone days on the Rand.
Pelham hail no difficulty in finding
Porter Jenkins at Victoria, hut he
had to Interview an official to get
ttie man off duty two hours before
time. As It was, the representatives
of the criminal Investigation depart
ment were with him some fifteen
minute* before Jenkins, spruce In
attire and shiny with soap, put Iti an
appearance. .
Superintendent Somers proved to
he a most Interesting and quite enter
taining person. In every respect,
whether physically or mentally, he
was the exact antithesis of 1'rldonux.
A big, strongly-built man, who might
have been a heavy weight tniglllst had
not fate guided his youthful footstep,
to the recruiting office of the Metro
polltan police, he hail much more th

III* prominent blue eves and domed

Me might lie expected to take a
shrewd yet optimistic view of life's
problems, and, as Prldeaux had sad,
a Havana cigar was evidently an In
separable companion.

Mr. Somers wore a buttonhole of
sweet pens; Pelham noted that each
flower held four blooms on a stalk
"Do you really grow those In Hat
tersea?" he asked, when Prldeaux In
troduced him to the chief.

Helf sacrifice is h fine attribute of

she says, but hesitates because of
her father's wish to keep her at
home, single. This seems to be out
right selfishness on the part of the
father. Any ordinary human being
should realize that at one time or
other a person is entitled to what
measure of happiness he or she can
find in the world. Surely brothers
or sisters or even relatives could take
their turn in caring for the old gen
tleman. Perhaps It could be managed
to have him continue to live with the
daughter after marriage. Never give
up a chance for happiness if it can
be possibly arranged satisfactorily.
There is usually some way out if a
thorough search Is made for such a
plan. Don't give up too easily, for
you can probably find a way and
