Tonmr to- join my *men<ls, who |
arrived here Just ahead of me," Haig |
replied.
"Ah!" Mohammed nodded. "Yes,
yes. Wait but one moment."
The door of the treasure house
was opened, and he had a glimpse
of a long, low room lined with
shelves and cases. The sound of Mo-
hammed's shuffling slippers grew
faint—died away.
A blank wall faced the shop, and
"•■here were no passers-by. It was a
queer backwater, and Haig won-
dered what had induced Eileen to
visit it He stared again through
the open door. Then he moved for-
ward and looked along the room.
Like a flash of summer lightning
revelation came. . . . This was a
branch—or perhaps the parent es-
tablishment—of Jo Lung's Lime-
house emporium.
Oame the sound of shuffling foot-
steps returning. The aged Arab re-
appeared.
"My gentleman," he said, "I am
sorry to keep you waiting, but your
friends have gone."
"Gone!"
"By the other door."
Haig stared through dimness,
seeking for the expression In those
sunken eyes. "They didn't stay
long!" he snapped.
The old Arab spread his palms
eloquently. "They buy nothing, sir."
"Show me the way to this other
door," Dawson Haig directed. 'T
shall overtake "them more quickly
by going out that way."
Mohammed bowed. "Please fol-
low," he said.
Haig entered, his hand upon the
butt of an automatic. Yes, the very
arrangement of the place told him
now that this was the receiving
house. Jo Lung's was merely a
salesroom. But — Eileen. "This
way, my gentleman." The Arab,
mounting three steps. Indicated a
further room beyond.
Dawson Haig followed. A second
treasure cave stretched before him.
There was a sort of narrow passage
connecting this room with another
beyond. Through this corridor the
aged Arab was hurrying. Haig In-
creased his stride, entered the pas-
sage almost on the heels of Mo-
hammed—and . . .
The floor collapsed beneath his
feet ... a stifling drug-like smell
•wept up to meet, to envelop him,
as he fell.

Doctor Heatherley, and the two
women passengers from the Walla-
roo rat at a table outside the East-
ern exchange, long drinks with
straws before them. Presently Doc-
tor Heatherley glanced at his watch.
"Oar friends are late," said he.
"They must have found the Mys-
tery shop. There's supposed to be
a store here compared with which
Simon Arzt's is merely Wool worth's.
Pve never found anybody to lead
me to the Mystery shop, bnt I be-
lieve there ts such a shop. Doctor
Oestler may know where It is."
Even as he spoke, Doctor Oestler,
smiling broadly, bore down upon
them.
"Well, my friends," he said, tak-
ing a chair, removing hto hat and
mopping his forehead. "I have
walked quickly, ha—hoping to over-
take our Miss Kearney."
"Hoping to overtake her?" said
the ship's doctor blankly. "Bnt she
was with you! You said that you
and Miss Kearney were going to
make some purchases elsewhere."
Doctor Oestler nodded his head
vigorously. "It Is so," he agreed,
"it to so. Yes. We went, as I said.
This shop to not a hundred yards
from here, It belong to a Greek—
ha?—who has most excellent per-
fumes. Miss Kearney also knows It
well. I excuse myself—ha ?—while
she is making her selection, for 1
see It will occupy her for at least
a quarter of an hour—yesV He
shrugged depreratingly. "I call at
another establishment that I know
<»f. and i>urekas«-~h9—-these Ave
hundred cigarettes, look—-then hur-
ry back. Miss Kearney has already
IftTt the shop of Ostopolos, #nd so
J^ontiaue to hnrry—and here, yes,
you see me."
-The ship's doctor stood up. "It
sounds very odd to me," he said.
"Port Said's healthy enough In
these days, but not for 9 woman
walking about alone. I'll walk back
with you."
With Doctor Oestler he set oat
Before a small shop not more than
two hundred yards from the East-
era exchange, they paused. A suave
gentleman who wore a black point-
ed beard smiled agreeably.
"I left a lady here about twenty
minutes ago," said Doctor Oestler,
*1 rememcer, "sir."
"When I returned, she had gone
—you remember?"
The surgeon was watching the
speaker. "Did she say where stffe
was going?" he demanded.
"No, sir. She purchased a small
sample of Jasmine, such as this—"
he Indicated one—"a larger size of
attar of roses, of this kind—" he
held up a long cut-glass phial
shaped like a square ruler—"and
three small tubes of other essences
—I forget which she selected."
The surgeon stared at Doctor
Oestler, and then, without a word,
walked out of the shop. "I sup-
"But Not at All!" Doctor Oestler
Replied Genially.
pose there's nothing to worry
about," he admitted, "so, as you
seem to know an A-l Egyptian to-
bacco merchant in this town, doc-
tor, I like a really genuine Egyptian
cigarette myself, and my stock Is
low. Do you mind taking me
along?"
"But not at all!" Doctor Oestler
replied genially.
When they reached the store, the
Egyptian owner Immediately recog-
nized Doctor Oestler. The ship's
surgeon, baffled, bought fifty ciga-
rettes and departed. But when they
returned again to the Eastern ex-
change Eileen Kearney had not re-
turned.
At the end of a very uneasy half
hour, Doctor Heatherley stood up
suddenly. "Let us see the ladies
Into a taxi for the ship," he sug-
gested. "And then, perhaps, Doc-
tor Oestler, you would step along
to the American consulate with
me?"

Camp Lawerence
Passses Away
Camp Lawerence, one of the
pioneer residents of Fayette Coun-
ty, passed away last Friday at the
Old Soldiers Home in Austin at
the ripe old age of 92 years.
Mr. Lawerence was born in Fay-
ette county, near La Grange, and
spent most of his life in the Hack-
"berry section. When the Civil
war broke out he was one of the
first to enlist in the Confederate
Army. He fought during the en-
tire war and then came back to
Fayette County to make his home.
Surviving are two sons, John and
Lizzie of San Antonio. His wife
passed away some 50 years ago.
Funeral services were held last
Sunday from the Schwenke-Baum-
garten Funeral Home, with Rev.
Hall conducting the last sad rites.
Interment was in the Old Baptist
Cemetery in Lavaca County.
The Sticker, along with their
many other friends in this section
offer sincere sympathy to the be-
reaved relatives.
Shorthorns Defeat
Weimar Friday
The Schulenburg Shorthorns de-
feated the Weimar team here on
the local gridiron last Friday af-
ternoon by the decisive score of
41 to 6.
The game opened with a bang
and the Shorthorns lost no time in
proving that they had the best
team. The line opened holes through
which the backs had no trouble
gaining ground. In the first quar-
ter Curington made two long runs
which netted the Shorthorns about
35 yards. He carried the ball to
the Weimar 5-yard line and from
there Pustejovsky scored on the
first attempt at the line. A pass,
Curington to E. Petrash, was good
for the extra point. During the sec-
ond quarter a pass from Curington
to Wolters was good fr 35 yards
on a touchdown but the referee
ruled that Schulenburg was off-
side and the score did not count.
On the next play Schulenburg com-
pleted another pass that was good
for 25 yards. V. Pustejovsky ran
through tackle and brought the
ball back to the Weimar 3-yard
line. Curington gained one yard
on the next play and then Wolters
made the remaining yardage for
another score. Weimar never came
near the Shorthorn line during the
first half.
During the half both the Schu-
lenburg and Weimar Pep Squads
appeared on the field and furnish-
ed entertainment for the specta-
tors,
In the third quarter Schulenburg
had possession of the ball on their
own 40-yard line. Curington ran
35 yards through the line behind
nice interference, bringing the ball
to the 5-yard line. Pustejovsky car-
ried the ball over the line on the
next play. A pass, Curington to J.
Pustejovsky, was good for the ex-
tra point. A few minutes later the
Shorthorns had worked the ball to
the Weimar 15-yard line and a
pass from CuringLon to J. Pustejov-
sky was good for another score.
Wolters went through the line for
the extra point.
Coch Powers sent in a number of
substitutes to give his first string
men a little rest and during this
time the Weimar team completed
a long run around the Schulenburg
left end and carried the ball to the
7-yard line. Two attempts to gain
tjhrough the line failed. On the
next play a pass was completed and
Weimar scored their only six points
of the game. An attempted kick
between the posts failed.
During the fourth quarter the
Shorthorns advanced the ball down
the field where E. Petrash carried
the ball through the line for anoth-
er six points. A pass, Curington
to E. Petrash was good for the
extra point. Again the Shorthorns
carried the ball from deep in their
own territory to the Weimar 20-
yard line. Three attempts by Cu-
rington counted for another score.
An attempted pass for extra point
failed, making the score Schulen-
burg 41, Weimar 6.
The Shorthorns played nicely in
every feature of the game with
the exception of being unable to
break up forward passes. The
team held the Weimar team to very
few yards of gained ground with
the exception of. yardage gained
through' passes.
We sustained no serious injuries
during the game and the boys
should give a good account of
themselves at the game with Gon-
zales in Gonzales on Friday after-
noon. Bruce Byles is back in the
game which gives Schulenburg
another backfield man. Bruce is
classed a triple threat man as he
can pass, punt or run with equal
ability.
