By the way, pilose remember to kevp th- tinted glasses on aii the time, otherwise the rays may trouble the eyes. Thank you, I shall hope to see you here again." "Oh, of course!" responded Gun, with an entirely assumed enthu siasm. An attendant ushered him out of an inner door, and into a small anteroom beyond an individual who looked a cross between a meuzzin and Merlin the astrolo gei, but who spoke with a broad Scots accent, fitted him deftly with a pair of darkened glasses. Next Gun found himself in a large room, the floor of which was cove:ed with green baize, and the root painted blue to represent the oky. It was ablaze wi:h artificial sunlight, and as warm as the tropics. An instructor, wearing only a loincloth, was putting a class of a cio/en through fairly strenuous physical jerks, while the perspira tion literally rolled off them. Gun got so!Kc amusement from watch ing one or two obese eld gentle men who were strongly reminis cent cf Colonel Blimp, and who seemed to be suffering exceed ingly. On seats around the walls an other group awaited the attention of the P. T. instructor—among them the mysterious foreigner, Mr. Pullirger, who glanced a't Gun as he entered, and then hastily a\ crted his gaze. A moment or two later the in structor dismissed his class, ush ered by an attendant in a djibbah hrough a farther door, gasping ami panting. You will please remove your gowns, gentlemtns," the instruc tor directed, lie was evidently a genuine na 9 of sorts, though not, Gun in.. jine<\ an Egyptian. As they slipped off their robes, Gun eyed Pullinger, and immedi ately noted one or two things. In the its' place, he was a man of nng .cent physique. If he had a tault t -11. it was that he might ? , -- 1 ? trifle lo° thickly and stock y built, with legs a fraction v o ions; lor his torso. In the sec ond, the tan of his face extended no larther u.an a V sipped patch at the "ock, which shov.. I that he had b-en .irod to living a lot in tne . .per. i.r, wearing mostly an open-nv:< shirt. And in the third the a.mosl fe n? ^ine whiteness of his ody skin -l- marred only by a tutoo mark ->n the left upper T lis latter ra;her intrigrued The whiteness of his skin was marred only by a tattoo mark on his left arm. Gun. It was a symbol he never had seen tatooed on anyone be fore, looking at first glance some thing like a key, but being actual ly the Crux Ansata, or looped cross—the Egyptian symbol of life, and of the goddess Isis. Rather curious, Gun thought. The only tattoo mark he had, and an Egyptian symbol, in that place. Gun was in good enough condi tion, and the physical jerks did not disturb him overmuch. Never theless, in the heat of that artifi cial sunlight, he found himself perspiring pretty freely. Five minutes of strenuous exer cise, and then the instructor called out: "That will do, gentlemen. Re sftme your gowns and pass along, please." Apparently he dealt with them in dozens, and another dozen was not yet assembled. That meant a rest for him, which he probably needed. The next chamber was smaller —and more oriental. A rubbing down with rough, warm towels, and a welcome rm on a narrow divan, with It^lit rays playing upon his body all the time. Rather to his surprise, Gun found himself feeling distinctly better, if a trifle lethargic, and came near to drop ping off to sleep on his divan. But the sharp clang of an electric gong roused him, and he passed on with the others into the next room. He noted that Pullinger now seemed more at his ease. The same party of 12 people kept to gether, and Gun guessed that, now that there was no hope—or fear—of meeting whoever it was he anticipated he might meet, Mr. Pullinger felt more comfortable in his mind. Gun was careful not to speak to him again—did not want to arouse any suspicions in the man's mind. He had a word with one or two of the others. As they passed out of the rest room one of them glanced at him and made a grim ace. "Now for the sweat box!" said he. "What the devil's that?" Gun asked. "Your first go, eh? Oh, well, you'll soon see. It's pretty stiff, Sut it does you a world of good, this lark. Finest thine for the morning' after I've struck yet, anyway!" The next rpom was the small est yet, with a low ceiling, and oriental cushions on the floor in 12 little piles. They removed their robes and squatted on the cushions. Attend ants came around and offered ci garets, Turkish, Egyptian and Virginias; from lacquer boxes. Then, suddenly, the place com menced to glow with heat. It was i radiant heat of some kind, but there was no great glare with it. [t got hotter and hotter, and :he perspiration commenced to pour off Gun's body in profuse quantities. He felt his flesh tin gling with the heat. An attendant came around, offering elastic af fairs to put around the forehead, to prevent the perspiration from running into the eyes—an elab oration of what ship's firemen and others who work in great heat call "sweat rags." Gun com menced to feel that the intense heat was going to be too much for him. In the midst of it he became conscious that Pullinger was star ing at him. The darkened glasses they all wore made the eyes of anyone else invisible at a distance of more than a foot or so, but Gun was quite certain that Pul linger was watching him curi ously. Struggling to keep his mind from thinking about the heat, Gun let his thoughts run back to the nterview with the doctor. He had ?ot some useful information there —Pullinger's name, .eal or as sumed, and the fact that he al ways came to the baths at the same time. Not bad work that. . . . Then it came to him, what the devil did he WANT the infor mation for, anyway? He tried to analyze that, and decided that it was because, for some reason, he sensed that there ivas something very fishy, indeed, ibout Mr. Pullinger. . . . True, le only SENSED it, but he had sensed such things before, and had never yet been led very far istray. The whole point, however, seemed to be, even supposing that there WAS something fishy ibout Pullinger, what on earth lad it to do with him, Gun? And that was a question he wouldn't answer, except that—and igain for some unknown reason— le was interested. fTo Be Continued) Objects to Search # Mrs. Adelaide Strang Subjected with other transatlantic piano passengers to search by cus toms officials, Mrs. Adelaide Strang indignantly tells reporters at La Guardia Field, N.

Johnson, gin inspector of the stale Department of Agriculture, said | today. "It is almost universally conceded that if the ginning industry would make service and efficiency its ob jective, this amount would he saved the producer, and. at the same .ti^te, permit an equitable income for 'he ginner," he said. "This is no indictment of the men engaged in ginning cotton. They are powerless to bring about new cus toms and usages in the industry un less they have the cooperation of each other and of their customers." Mr. Johnson pointed out the loss in ginning as one of the factors which make the present plight of the cot ton farmer the No. 1 problem of our agricultural economy. The situation challenges every in dividual and business in any way connected with cotton to see how much of the cotton dollar can be passed back to the farmer, Johnson said. Seed marketing presents as impor tant a problem as improved ginning service, he said. "This problem accounts for many of the business problems in the gin ning industry," Johnson declared. "The present system was developed under circumstances that no longer exist and today lends itself to such a variety of business practices, many of them discriminatory, that the gin ing industry as a whofe takes on a chaotic appearance. The solution of this problem depends upon the degree of cooperation that may be developed between producers, gin ners and seed-crushers." Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Aug. 27.—There are some indications that J. M. Broughton, who will be the next governor even if G. O. P. Nominee McNeill won't admit it, is being pulled several dif ferent ways . by political supporters who want him to make a clean sweep in many of the State departments. His Wake county lieutenants (of widely differing political stripe) John Hinsdale and Wilbur Bunn, and some of the state officials who backed him, are said to be urgrng him to oust in cumbent officials and employees right and left. But they are unanimous only that far. Each lieutenant has a "friend"' of his own lor each job which would be made open, and thus there is no part of agreement on the vital mat ter of who shall replace whom. So far Mr. Broughton has done one of the best jobs on record in the matter of keeping quiet in all known languages about his intentions to ward those present officials and em ployees who did not support him in the primary. As a result, such wrong-guessers as Cutlar Moore of the ABC board, Dudley Bagley of the State REA. Bob Thompson of the State News Bu?-eau and Lloyd Griffin of the School Com mission are still completely in the dark as to their future as Tar Heel officials. It seems that Person county still i wants prohibition—but doesn't want it much. Two ABC elections, twice dry by less than 75 votes. Commissioner of Agriculture W. Kerr Scott must not know that the primary is over. At least he has ar ranged a program for himself this week which looks for all the world like the itinerary of a candidate. Last night he was at Woodland Lake, where Fred Brinkman of the National Grange spoke. Tomorrow he will talk at Ayden. Thursday morn ing he will address a farmers' coop erative at Durham; Thursday night he will attend a ginners' meeting at Goldsboro and Friday he will meet with Grangers at Orange Grove in Orange county.
