CHAPTER Vllâ€" Cont'd. An ojK-n car wa.s swinging in at talking pace to Ui« curb, and as tlw oa.se curved over tlie pa-sseiigers' h«id.-< and dropped bt-yond them, another man was waiting for it, da.shed for- ward, cautrht it on the run as it fi-ll, and jumped for the moving car. Glynn, realizing even as ho fell what had happened, was on his feet again an instant after he was down, and hi.i automatic wa.s out from its arm- under holster. But several of the pa-s- ' sentcers were between him and the man who was in the act of catching the bag, and as Glynn hc-siUited an instant, l()ktnjr about him swiftly for the target he s<.ugh , he heard a yell, a heavy cra«h, and a yelping how Da^'hing forward, he .saw one man pprawled on his face a yard short of the moving car and with both hi.s log;; clutchc<l and held by lK>th arms to the chest of another man also .sprawling ©n thp pavement. The attache-case was rolling in the road just astern of the moving car. Glynn's first thought was for the bag. He leapt for it, grabbe<l it up, Jumped back to the pavement and thrust the muzzle of his automatic under the nose of the man still lying gripped by the logs. "Lie still and stop your kicking" said Glynn savage- ly "Or I'll stop i; for good." But now the jiassengers, hotel por- ters and o<id pa.sser8-by were crowd- ing about the pi-ostrato pair, eager h.Tnds were clutshing the prisoner an<l hauling him to his feet. Not until half a dozen hrid their hands finiily on him did the man who had seized him relea.sc his looked arms from the prisoner's legs. Glynn stooped and heljied the liuiii lo his f(«t â€" a short, stocky and .sturd- ily liuilt youngster now gnnning hap- pily. "Dill yrvu gel the bag''" he aski-i first. "1 did," sail! (ilynn. "thanks to your funarlness. "you did be a belter turn than I can tell you now, but f sluiii't forge', it." "'Tfasii't much," said the youiig- nter. "It was oing that fellow make his neat pass Ihal roused the old Rugger ettion, and I jusl jumped for kiiii and brought him down with a i;oo<! old flying tackle.'' "Ia-I's get away," said (ilynn liur- »i('dly. "Here comes Ihe police. They hr.ng us up for hours if we lei Ihem." The inanagc^ <if tho hotel came run- ning to them, and (ilyn grabbed him. "Viui s|)eak to the police," he sai hurriedly. 'We must get away. Tell them about breaking in to my room. It was my bag again they were after. I must be ofl'. Chapter VIll THE THIKVKS SCOFtE It wM not until they were on l>o:iid the liner again an,-; the was skimming Tiu-ing over thf: water to lift and *limb in a long slant, that Glynn felt •afe and sec-arc again. There w.;s little propability, or even |Kissibility *f any attempt being made lo steal the bag while they were in tho air, because there was no way it could lie Ifot rid of, or without thi- thief iKin-r wv\y.e.<\ on the instant if ho tried lo irr.ili the bag. It wag a plia.-aiit >i<niiy day i^gain, and after Glynn had told somethintr cf the happenings of the night, mak- U.ts !m light as iKi.sible <>f them, and after having a chat aiiil repealed his thunk.s to the Rugger |)layer, who Ifcve his name a.s .limmy Doyle, (ilynn wfnt forward to the pilot's ro<kpit and fot him lo oihm th enclosing glass window!" and "nion the cobwel)P out of his head." At the en<l of an hour he felt muo/i belter, and by the time the liner slid down and spla.she<l into the water off Cttstelar'so, on the coast nf Asia Minor, and they went ashore for lunch at the .Airways rest-house tlieie, ho, was fe«'ling f|uite all right agnin. He cairied hi.-^ disjiatch ca'-e â- with him, but felt fairly safe with it gin"!' the place wa^ st:ifTeil only with the company's people. Oir again after lunch, the- lioni (Uw Blefidily on l)ul now with a sl(Md> head wind slowing down Ihi'ii speed a little. In the l.tle afterniHUi they 1)BS'<- #d over the coastline of I'alcstine, and ju-1 as the dusk wa!< coming on with n the ilrixzle of -ain, they sluntwl down t.. the shores of lh<- .Sea of Giililce, <]r<ip{>e<l cleanly on to the w:iter.« near the shore, and taxietl in to where ;i launch ua.« pjltingout to ine<-t tliein. The pas.<te:iger!i step|>ed from Ihi' doi>r of the liiMT (m to th< launch iinl ma li their way to FeitU in it. .Slefaii nailing until GKim and N'oiih ilrew near, jumped ofT just in front o| Glynn, halted an I half-turned ^\atsh- iDft Ihem. In hi.« hand he rarriril a ' I small Htla».'he-case alinosl concealed under the fold of the light macintx)hh he wore. Glynn slepjied on to fhe launch, and turning to steady Norah follmving him, put hi» bag down by his feet. As he did so, Stefan btooj)e<l, put his own bag b«*ide Glynn's w>ich he picked up instead, anU moved quietly off with his priM. No more than n second or two later, Glynn picked up again the bag he thought was his, and found a seat for Norah and himself. In the dusk and rain nobo<ly noticed .St<'fan, hi.«« inovments covered by Max, cut a gash in the side of the case, thrust a hand in and finger the round film tin, push a weight in beside it and drop the case overboard. Glynn, by the si>€cial arrangements made all through, went to have his attache-caso privately piussed by Custonut, but when he tried lo o|)en it found an unusual difliculty in fit ting the key to the locks. After fumb ling and trying in vain for some min- utes, suspicion woke in him, and he hurriedly burst the locks by force and flung open the case.

GIILETT'S I yC EATS DIRT His film was gone, Except for a plucking of uewsiiapers and a good siztd stone, the case was empty. Hurriedly, Glynn examined it. In shape, size, colour and ajipearance it was exactly like his. No accident could have brought such a duplicat* into his haruls. It had been deliber- ately substituted for hia- -but when and where he did not know except that it was between Athens and there. Hurriedly he explained the posi' tion to the nianager there, and every possible step was taken at once to find any duplicate of the bag. It was ex- plained to the pas.sengers that a specially close examination of all lug- gage was to be made, and evory bag and package opened. The list of pas- ,s<nger8 and weight of their luggage was checked and compared with the respective weights of all luggage there. But actually most of the bags (including Stefan's) weighetl a trifle more than on leaving London, which was ejisily explained by the fact that most passengei-s had taken off some of their warmer clothing they had worn at the start and tranfened it to their luggage. The police officer who had been calk-d in conferred with Glynn. "You say the contents of the case were valuable," said the officer. "What were they exactly ?" "A small tin of cinema film," said Olynn. "Not worth shillings at any other time and place, but invaluable to me in India." "But can it be invaluable to any thief who has it?" asked the puzzled officer. Glynn told him briefly what tV.e film was and why it was urgent it should reach India, but he said noth- ing of the duplicate copy in the cigar- ette tin. It was clear that somehow or another, the Prince's enemies had got hold of his attache-case. There was the chance they might think it held the only copy of the film and make no further effort to niole.st him or to h,\\ for another. Delicious Quality GREEN TEA 713 Also in Black and Mixed How Place-Names Are Decided Canada Week by Week. â€" In a country bi largo as Canada, with many areas which have been ra/- pidly opened up, particularly as the result ot rich mineral Jlscoverles, the selection and authorization of new place-names becomes a problem of some Importance. Just how are these place-names flnallj decided upon? AH decisions In connection with geo- phy In the Dominion rest with the Googr;iplilc Board of Canada, which was established by the Dominion Gov- ernment In ^897, The Board consists o£ 20 meinbeis, 12 of whom are mem- bers of the Departments ot the Dominion Governmeul; the remaining eight are the mcml crs representing as many provinces. Quebec has Us own board to deal with names in that pro- vince. The viewpoints, comments, and su,;gcsilons o' the provincial re- presentatives are obtained before any decision is arrived at regarding names which are open to question. When tho Hoard reaches c decision the name is ado^iled and becomes official. With regard to names ot geograph- ical features along the luteruatlonal Boundary, or which cross the bound- ary line, the Geographic Board ot Can- ada uiiiiiitalns a close co-operation Willi the United States Geographic Board, in the adoption of names which are acceptable to both countries. The duties of the Board, during the 31) years of Its existence, have become greater each year as tho mapping ac- tivities ot the varlouF Government de- partments have lucrea. d. About 30 maps a year como before the Board. Each ot these maps has an average ot 200 names to be examined and passed, making a total ot approximate- ly 6,000 names. In addition a great number of inquiries from Government departments, libraries, societies, firms and private Individuals, requesting In- formation as to tho authentic names of places and regarding tho origin and nieanln,; of place-names, are received.

Old Churches Are Tottering Cathedrals Lack Money For Restoration, English Assembly Told LONDON, Eng. â€" Seven historic English cathedrals are on the verge of bankruptcy. This disturbing state- ii^ent was made by the Bishop ot Der- by before the Church Assembly, the cathedrals being those of Carlisle, Chi- chester, Lichfield, Peterborough, Ri- pen, Salisbury and Wells. Naturally the u;ke6p of the fabric alone of such enormous buildings de- mands constant expenditure; It is questionable If any of these great houses of the faith is ever completely free from scaffolding According to tJre Bishop of De.by the smallest amount on which a dean and chapter can effectively maintain a cathedral is about 145,000 a year -♦- Dogs and Child on Leads LONDON (C.P.)â€" Seen in Richmond Park leading her grandchild and three dogs, each â€" Including the child â€" â- with Its own collar and chain, a wo- man told an inspector she saw no cruelty In the practice, but promised to discontinue it.

A Holstein bull owned by Mr. Wea- ver got loose in the barn and fell from the barn floor into the silo through the opening used to get the silage out. Although the tall was some fifteen feet, the silage at the bottom broke the animal's fall and the bull was none the worse for his experience save that his temper was aroused. All attempts to get the animal out of the silo pit failed, the bull charging furiously at every one who attempted to enter the silo to fasten a sling around his body so he could be hoist- ed back to the barn floor again. It looked as If the bull had a per- manent home which he was willing to defend against all comers. Not wishing to tear down the silo walls In order to extricate the animal, straw- was thrown Into the silo and gradu- ally the silo was filled until the straw was level with the opening into the barn. After which the bull was driven back to his box stall and peace reign- ed In the barn.
