Is it used in any dishes except Gumbo and other soups?" Reply.—Okra does grow from seeds but you must secure the seed from some I reliable dealer as they must be fer j tilized by special method. Seed you | pick from your otVu plants might grow-; but it is doubtful. Okra salad is made 1 , from tender green pods, and okra pods ; boiled are served with meats.

She stepped out ; upon the gallery, walked as far as Warrington's door, and paused there. The gallery floor was trelllsed with momlight and shadow. She saw some , thln t ; lying in the center of a patch of , light, and she stooped. The light was ' too dim for her to read; JO she re entered her own >oom and turned on the light. It was Warrington's letter of credit. She gave a low laugh, per- , i haps a bit hysterical. There was no doubt of it. Someone had entered his room. There had been a struggle in which he had been the stronger, and the thief had dropped his plunder. (As a matter of fact, the Chinaman, find ing himself closed in upon, had thrown the letter of credit toward the railing, in hope that it would fall over te the ground below, where. Inter, he could recover it.) Elsa pressed it to her heart as another woman might have pressed a rose, and laughed again. Something of his: something to give | her the excuse to see and to speak to him again Tomorrow she would Came With Startling Distinctness, the Shriek of a Parrot. know; and he would tell her the truth, even as her heart knew it now. For what other reason had he turned away from her that first day out of Ran goon, hurt and broken? Paul Ellison; and she had told him that she was go- 1 in* home to marry his brother! CHAPTER XVII. The Battle. Next morning, when it became known among the bankers and foreign agencies that a letter of credit for ten thousand pounds had been lost or stolen, there was more than a ripple of excitement. They searched records, but no loss as heavy as this came to light. Even the managing director of the Bank of Burma came in for his share of annoyance. He was obliged to send out a dozen cables of notiflca tion of the loss, all of which had to be paid out of accrued dividends. Thus Warrington had blocked up the ave nues. The marvelous rapidity with which such affairs may be spread broadcast these days is the first won der In a new epoch of wonders. From Irkutsk to Auckland, from St. John's' to Los Angeles, wherever a newspa per was published, the news flew, j Within twenty-four hours it would be dlflicult to draw against that letter as It would be to transmute baser metals into gold. At half past ten Warrington, appar •ntly none the worse for a sleepless night, entered the private office of the consul general who. gravely and with ■tudled politeness, handed to him an j unopened cablegram. "I rather preferred to let you open it, Mr. Warrington." he said. Warrington noted the lack of cor diality. but with passive regret. The consul general recovered his pen and pretended to become absorbed in the litter of papers on his desk. But in truth he could see nothing save the young man's face; calm, unmoved, ex pressing negligent interest in what would be the most vital thing in his existence, next to life. A fine speci men of a man. incredibly wholesome despite his ten years' knocking about in this ungodly part of the world. It was a pity. Thev had evidently re fused to compromise. "Bad news?" Warrington stood up with sudden and surprising animation in his face. "Read it," he said. "If Elliaon will make restitution in person, >«. ANDES." The consul general Jumped to his feet and held out his hand. "I am glad, very glad. Everything will tarn out all right now. If you wish, I'll tell Miss Chetwood the news." "I was going to ask you to do that," responded Warrington. The mention of Elsa took the brightness out of his face. "Tell her that Parrot * Co. will always remember her kindness, and ask her to forgive a lonely chap for having caused her any embarrassment through her goodness to him. I have decided not to see Miss Chetwood again.'' "You are a strong man, Mr. War rington." "WarrinatonT Aly name Is out son | i'*ul Warrington Ellison. After all, ; I'm so used to Warrington, that I may as well let well enouph alone. There Is one more favor; do not tell Miss Chetwood that my name Is Ellison." "1 should t:se my own name, if I were you. Why, man, you can return to the States as if you had departed but yesterday. The world forgets quickly. People will be asking each other what it was that you did. Then 1 shall bid Miss Chetwood good-by for you ?" "Yes. I am gckig to jog it home. I want to travel flrst class, here, there, wherever fancy takes me it's so lone since I've known absolute ease and ! comfort. I wish to have time to re adjust myself to the old ways. I was once a luxury-loving chap. I sail at I dawn for Saigon. I may knock around in Siam for a few weeks. After that, 1 don't know where I'll go. Of course I shall keep the Andes advised of my whereabouts, from time to time." j "Another man would be in a hurry." | It was on the tip of his tougue to tell Warrington what he knew of the An- | des Construction company, but some thing held back the words, a fear that Warrington might change his mind about seeing Elsa. "Well, wherever you go and whatever you do. good luck go with you." "There are good men in this world, sir. and I shall always remember you as one of them." "By the way, that man Mallow; i fcave you met him yet?" j The quizzical expression in his eyes made Warrlrgton laugh. "No." "I was in hopes . . ." The con- j sill general parsed, but Warrington ignored the invitation to make known 1 his intentions. He shunted further inquiry by say ing: "A letter of credit of mine was stolen last night. 1 had a tussle in the room, and was rather getting the best I of it. The thug slipped suddenly j away. Probably hid the letter in his | loin cloth." "That's unfortunate." "I have sent out a general stop-or der. No one will be able to draw against it. The sum will create sua- j picion anywhere." "Have you any idea who was back \ of the thief? Is there aiiy way I can j be of service to you?" "I really suspect Mallow and a gambler named Craig, but no court would hold them upon the evidence I have. It's my belief that it's a prac tical joke which measures up to the man who pernetrated it. He must certainly realize that a letter so large will be eagerly watched for." "I shall gladly take charge of the matter here for you. I suppose that j »you will eventually meet Mallow?" "Eventually suggests a long time," grimly. "Ah ... Is there ... Do you think there will be any need of a watch holder?" "I honestly believe you would like to see me have it out with him!" "I honestly would. But unfortunate ly the dignity of my office forbids. He has gone up and down the settlements, bragging and domineering and fight ing. I have been given to understand that he has never met his match." , "It's a long lane that has no turn- ! ing. After all," Warrington added, let- i ting go his reserve; "you're the only friend I have. Why shouldn't I tell y£>u that immediately 1 am going out in search of him, and that when I find him I am going to give him the worst walloping he ever heard tell of." "I ought not to want to see you at it, but, hang it, I do!" "Human nature. It's a pleasurable sensation to back up right by might. Four years ago I vowed that some day I'd mset him on equal terms. I may "I Found That In My Room Last Night." not see you again. If the letter of credit turns up. you know what to do with it. I'm keen to set started. Good by, and thank you." A handclasp, and he was gone. "1 wish," thought the consul gen eral, "I could have told him about the way the scoundrel spoke of Elsa." And Warrington, as he sought the cafe veranda, wished he could hav« told the basic truth of his fighting mood; the look Mallow had given Elsa that day In Penang. Diligently he be- ] gan th« search. Mallow and Craig i were still in their rooms, doubtless sleeping off the debauch of the pre- ' ceding night He saw that he must I waU.
