Glynn who knew all sections of the route, and had alway.s been keen to learn about the interesting places alontf tb«ni, startfJ by explaining to Norah, but was so showered with qu«r<t'ions from othei-s near that he found himself delivering a sort of spasmodic lecturette on the sights. "We're early," said Glynn, as the boat slid gently to a s-top and the drone of the engines dropped to lilence, "so we'll have plenty of time to have a look round and see the right*. They're well worth it, too." When they go- to the hotel where U'comimKlalioM had been reserved in the usual way, Glynn, having planned Rith Norah (at her suggestion, as ho remembered later) that they should Diake the most of their sight-seeing opportunities together, did not wait to have the dinner provided for pas- sengers, but after seeing his room B.nd hifl bag brought up to it, went dowTi to the lojnge to wait Norah there. He carried his despatch ca,se, ami in it the tww copies of the film, and deposited this in the hotel safe; receiving in return a form of receipt which had to be presented when he reclaimed his property. This he l-arefully pocketed. Then Norah came down, and the two went off to have dinner together in some special pVace Glynn wanted to show her and to do their sight- Eeeing. They returned at rather a late hour, considering they wet-e due for an eurly start by the flying liner in the morning, and depailed to (heir sev- eral rooms. Glynn, before turning into bod, locked the door, and shot a small but efficient brass bolt above it. He auto- matically "tried" the hold of the lock and bolt by turning the handle and giving a good heave or two on it â€" and after that night never failed to "li-y" a locked and bolted dtmr with- out testing the hold of each sep- arately. He rolled into bed and wn.'; a.slecp within Sfconds of his head tx>uching the pillow. He remembered, after, that he had a disturbed uream of being bu-ie<l alive, of knowing people wei"c moving and whispering about him, and of his desperate but futile efforts to make a sound or a move nient. He woke with a slow heaviness un- usual to him, dimly rememlx'red he had dreamed (which was also un- u.sual to him) and discovered that he had a splitting headache (which was most unusual of all), and a feeling that he was going to be sick (which wa-i not only unusual, but entirely novel). He .sat up, with a pain like a bullet through his head but pa.ssing as quick- ly, lie crawled out of IhmI thinking "Am I ill? Is it 'flu? What is it?" A «ave of pain.s hit him. What time was it . . . he was due for dawn patrol . . . No, for the pilot's place in the Air Mail. That cleared his mind. lie was bound out as pas.sengor on the Air .Mail for India. He looked at his vatch. Six o'clock, and he was to have been called at six. He lifted the telephone by his bedside. No answer. He joggletl the switch arm, listened impatiently, but again heard nothing. He cursed heartily, turnetl to the electric bell and preseetl it hard and long. In anticipation of the ar- rival of chambermaid or boots, he flung on the coat that served him as bathrobe or waterproof, went to the door to urtlock it. But in the act of turning the key, he stopped, staring hard at the brass bolt above the lock. The bolt was still shot, as he had left it â€" but shot into nothing. The metal socket platt into which it should have slid was gone, only the empty screw-holes re- maining to show w^ere it had been fastened. He glanced down and round the floor, and there lay the bolt- plate where it had fallen on being force<l off. The door wa.> still locked, but he knew that it was a simple matter to t\vi.9t the key from outside with a pair of strong long-no.sed pliers. Sud- denly he recalle.l his dream of lying helpless while people moved about him. His first thought was of relief that he had put both films in the hotel safe, and that the attache case containing them would not be handed over until he presented the receipt he had been gi\-en on depositing them. Then a horrible thought struck him like a blow. The receipt â€" his attache-case would be given to anyone presenting the receipt. He junvped for his jacket, snatched out his pocket book and opened it. The receipt was gone. Next instant he was out into the coiTidor and running down to the lobby and the head porter's desk. A few of the early rising visitors stared at him as he dashed past, but he gave no thought to them, rushed to the little counter where the head jwrter, in gold-laced uniform, was busy soi-t- ing letters into their pigeon-holes. "My name's Elliman," Glynn gasp- ed. "Number ten room. I left a packet in the safe last nigV." "Yes, sir," said the porter in slight- ly surprised tones. "I thought you were out sir, half-an-hour ago. Your friend .said so when he brought the receipt for the packet and .S4iid he'd called to get it to take to you." Glynn groaned. "What's the mat- ter, sir," asked the porter, in some concern. "You don't look well, sir. k\\, here is the manager at last." Glynn turned to the approaching manager. "I have been robbed," he .said (juickly. ".My room door was forced last night and the receipt for my deposit stolen. The porter says a man got it half-an-hour ago, pi-e- seuting the receipt and saying I'd sent .im for the packet." The manager looked astonished. "But how could the porter," he began. "Of course not sir," replied the man guessing at the rert of the sentence. "Here is the receipt the gentleman gave nie, but I said only you had the keys of the safe and he must wail until you came." "Wh«.t?" almost shoutetl Glynn. "You didn't give it? You have it still?" The porter was looking about the almost empty lounge. "Your friend went and sat down over there near the door to wait for the manager," he explained. "But I don't see him now." "No, and not likely t<> again," said Glynn grimly. "They were after my case, and very nearly got it," he ex- plaine<l to the manager. "Come to my room and I'll show you how they got in. And if you can find a d»)clor I wish you'd have him sent up. 1 must h*ve been doped, and 1 feel like death still." It did not take long to di.scover how the door had been forced. Glynn picked up the .socket plate for the bolt, and one after another of the ' screws ihat should have held it. They only had their beads and • thread or HO of screw to each. "Somebody got into my room last night while 1 was out," said Glynn. "They didn't find what they were lookirvg for, and perhaps thought I'd I taken it out with me. They unscrew- ed the bolt socket, filed off all but a thread of each screw, and pressed them back into place. The slightest steady pressure would draw them out of their flimsy hold. They .searched, found no bag because it wbs in your safe, fortunately, but the re<*ipt for it would tell them where it was. They just missed gettir., it." Here the doctor arrived and intro- duced himself. He stood for a -mo- ment sniffing the air. "Strange scent of â€" I'm not sure â€" some sort of smoke. You don't smoke opium or hashish or anything of the sort?" he asked. "Not knowingly," said Glynn, with his mind back on that warning about the Indian expert in drugs. "But perhaps my visitors arrange<l that I inhaled something to keep me asleep." Jle explained briefly what had hap- pened, and after an examination, the doctor confirmed that he had been under some drug, and a heavy dose of it. "You were lucky to come out of it so soon," he commented. "P'rom the state of your heart and pulse, I'd have expected you to sleep another hour at least. Strong constitution evidently." "Another hour," repeated Glynn, "and by then my attache-case would have gone." "I'll send something up to you," said the doctor bri.skly. "It'll pick you up a bit, but you'll probably feel a bit groggy for a few houi-s." He was right. Glynn was very much better when it came to the dme to leave the hotel and go aboaixl the flying lx)at liner, but he was still feel- ing heavy and heady. He had got his bag, and in his own room with the door locked and a porter waiting him outside it, he transfen-ed the one film in its cigarette tin back into his binocular case, :.lung that over his shoulder so that the case hung under his right arm, and slipped the bin- oculars in his pocket. Then, carry- ing the .ittache-cas3 with the one film, and with the porter on his heels, he went down to the lobby again. Norah exclaime<l aloud at sight of him, and he admitted that he was not feeling l\is be.st. "Had a bml night," he said, '''and a worse jolt this moni- ing. But I'll tell you all about it on the boat presently." He and Norah walked down the hotel steps together, with others of the passengers making for the motors that were to take them to the em- barkation place. But as the two were half-way across the pavement, Norah cried out sharply, and at the same time a man's shoulder charged with battering-ram force into (ilynn's biK'k, .sending him stumbling and sprawling forward on his face. In- vcluntarilv he released his hold on Orange Pekoe Blend TEA Fresh from the Gardens the attache-case to throw his hands forward and break his fall, and as he did so, a man snatched the case from his hand, and wnthout a pause, tossed it over the heads of several of the pa.5sengeTH between him and the curb just beyond the waiting n:otor. To Be Continued. ->- Honey Banishing Family Sugar Bowl Manitoba Housewives Exp>eri- ment Wth Home Pro- duct as Sweetener Honey Is "In the news" this spring In much the jame way that tomatoes were last fall. When the Beekeepers' convention was held in \V!nnii)eg the Importance of honey to Manitoba housewives was amply set forth. Women In the country and in the city Iiave proved tlhat honey 1b a Manitoba product whose uses have only begun to b« explored. Canning, preserving, pickling and baking are now being done with honey instead of sugar. Sugar, furthermore, has to be bouglit, but the honey may be home-produced. Mrs. Victor Phillips of Dauphin, whose husband is a honey producer on a large scale, was one of the speakers. Mrs. Phillips has experi- mented with honey In her own home for making and preserving and for general use until she lias pi^ctically banished tihe sugar bowl from her family's' table. During this last year> for a family of four, Mrs. Phillips bas used 600 pounds o{ honey. In the city there is another woman who Ihas experimented with honey for the past two year.s, until a high degrae of its usefulness in preserv- ing has been developed. This Is Mrs. R. F. McWiUianiiS, Winnipeg's wo- man alderman, who has another side to her life than that apparent on the platform and the council i-liamber. ,j Genius is the god in the mine, tot eiit is the minor who works and brings it out. â€" Lady Blessington.

ChriiAie's SODA WAFERS On the Farm: â€" It does seem strange to be thinking of the heel fly that causes such panic among our herds in the sunuiier months during th< se cold days and yet in many parts of rural Ontario fanners were di.scussing this j very subject during the past month. The heel fly, and his cousin the warble (ly, are costing Ontario farmers a huge sum of money. It is hard to even make a fair e.--timate of what they do cost us. We know that the fly has l)een particularly bad. We know that fattening stock does not gain so wvll when the fly cha.ses them r(.iin<l the field every once in a while. We know there is a terrific lo.s-« in the punctured hides caused by these two pests in one stage of their life cycle. What wc do not know is the loss that one can well inmgine must result from the suffering of animals whoso b: cks are liten-ally plastered with "grubs" in spring. There is a cer- tain amount of pus'in each grub hole. The .system must absorb this poison r.nd one can well imagine that there must bo a co.siderablo loss of gain 01 pr Kluction from this cause alone. The heel fly ..nd the slightly diffe-- ent wa'rlile fly have a strange life his- tory. They lay their eggs on the hair of the cattle in early summer, and the resultant tiny worm works bis way itito the hide, and upwards toward the gullet. Later on it begins another pilgriinane, this tune upward from the digestive tract to the animal's back, eating thii.ugh the tis.^ues. When il reaches the hide il punctures a holo, and then develops into a grub of o.nsideralile size. Lumps will be found Ml the cattle's back back hugir than thimble.*. We have seen animals with uinvaid if a liumhed grubs in their Itacks. When these are iipe" llu- i;i ..b .an be squeezed out, and event i. ally th^y will come (.ul anyway. They fall on the groun<l and develop into the h.'cl or warble fly ix-ady to ma.e and lay another lot of e^gs. The Warble Kly i • iiol a new comer. He has lieeii with us a long lime, rnit the heel Hy is a compaialivjdy np>v settler. Whei the latter gets near to a herd of >»ra/.ing lattle there is a wild stampede round th<.' field Careful ob- lervers tell us that the heel fly does not bit« or srting the cattle. Then why the fear? What peculiar instinct is it that prompts i hei'd of cilves that hive never pa.stnnd with older cattle to act in the very same way as the older ones? Cattle when driven fast by a dog for instance do not raise their tails; but when the heel fly comes tie tails go straight up in the air. There is only one renso-i why the l.e<-l fly continues to plague our cat- tle, and thi.t is indifreivnce on the part of tho farmer. The Danish farni- tr has practiclly exterminated this pest. Coming clo.ser lumie fanners on Manitoulin Islan 1 have greatly reduc- ed its nui.ibers. There is a solution or", the market which if proi)erly .ip- plied in March, .\pril and May, will kill the grubs in the cattle's back, and there is no ex.'usc for not using it. Five cents' worth will suffice for the three treatment) per -ninial. Unfortunately there is not much gained by the individual fanner treat- ing his stock. .\ whole community must undertake .I'.f wt.rk if worth while results are ti. be obtained, and th:>.t it why farmers in many portions of Ontario have l)cen di.scussing the he<d fly on below zero Kebruary days. Sixty thous'and head ar;; to be troatwl in Oxford County this spring. Kighty thousand head in Hui\>n, and five town.-^hips i.i Middlesex plan a cb^an-up. It is also !<aid that two town^hip8 in Perth will make a stait. We cannot too '.I'Khly .econiinend this effort. The heel fly i. a costly little i)est. Much as we dislike government regu liitions which in the nast few years hnve Ih-cii increasing too fast, the time teems to have -ome when it should be made compuhor.N to treat all cattle in the province i gainst the htel and wa ble fly.

The nicotine gives a little kick to the adrenals, the glaijds which supply energy. They in turn open the body faucets which release a little stored- up sugar, the body's normal muscle fuel.
