GILLEH'S LYE "Rut if you may tell me something a- bout all these attacks on you, and why they have been made, I should like to know â€" and whether there is any danger of any more of the .same sort of thing." "1 believe that I have been attacked for the sake of what I am carrying," he admitted. "You know how my at- tache case was stolen. But I have another package safe so far, and it's this these people have been trying to get." "But in all these different places, and by all sorts of people" she ex- claimed "How do you explain that?" "I can't altogether," he said, "but 1 supect it was known I was leaving lAindon with my packages, and either one of our passengers has been ar- ranging these performances at differ- ent points, or instructions have been .sent to agents at different places a- long the route" H^ went on to tell her his suspic- ions of Max and possibly of Stefan but said nothing of Dass, the Indian in ca.se this would raise further al- arm and fears for his safety. He told her too that he had taken every pos- sible precaution he could, and believ- ed any posible attempt at theft of his package was frustrated in advance. "Now there's something you can do for me if you will," he concluded. "I do something?" she said, in .some surprise. "0 course, I willâ€" anything I ))ossiibIy can." "The package I carry is in a .strong metal case, and it is practically iin- p()s.sible it can b;^ opened except by the key that unlocks it. I've .seen e- nough of the cleverness of thieves and I want to take the last possible pre- caution I can. If they could rob me of the key and had no mor^ than a min- ute or tv.'o with thj ea.se. tiiey could unlock it and perhan.^ manage their steal. If you have the key, nobody could p.-vssibly susinol it, and they'd i" done. Will you carry it f â-  r ne and give it back to me when 1 leave you at Hydrapore station?" 'Of cour.se, 1 will," .she said prompt- ly. "And gladly, if it will be the sligh- test help to avoid some of these dan- gers." "One thing I must a.sk you to pro- mise," he warned her, "I'll i)ass the key to you presently when I'm sure nobody is looking. You must not men- tion to a single sould that you have it and you must keep it with you always It it is known that you have it that may mean tiansfering some of the danger to you" "I don't mind that," she said (|iiick- ly. '1 do," he answered drily. "And you might also remember that if by any word you let slip it were known you had it, it would be adding all the iiK^re to my risk again" .She closed her lips firmly and nod- ded emphatically "I'll Im' the more careful for that (Ilynn, you may be sure." He took the little key from his poc- ket and after a long pause and a .scrutiny of the almost em|)ty room he tiK)k out his cigarette case, ojiened it, and slid the key in after warning her not to seem to watch him too closely, and then pushed the open ca.se across the table to her asking her if she would smoke. .She nodded carelessly, picked a cigarette and the key from the ca.se together, leaned forward and let him light it for her. .4tter a minute or .so she took out a little pocket hand- kerchief and leaning an elbow on the table she .slipped the corner of the lit- tle scrap of cambric through the ring of the key lied and retied it up, so that the key was hidden in it. Keeping up a pretense of idle chat- ter, she slid the handkerchief present- ly into the low breast of her frock. "That's that," she aid with a smile "You may count on it yourr key will not leave me, day or night, until I hand it over to you." "Good girl," he said warmly. "I think that ju.st about puts me and my packet a.s safe as it can be made. I^et us have another coffee, and a cliat about this train journey from Kar- achi." "I suppose there's nothing more you may tell me about why these at- tempts have been made to get your packet?" she asked. "Why no," he said.

"You don't need to say that," she smiled.

Everyone knows he is fighting tooth and nail to proclaim himself before ihe Prince can get back, and those who ought to know credit him with rather a lack of scrui)les when it comes to getting what he want«" "If it's him I have to thank for tho little attentions to me," smiled Glynn "I'll pay him the compliment of say- ing he's got a good widespread organ- ization and people that .sei-ve him well" "I'm surer of both," said Noah, and once you're in India I believe it would pay you to liire a good stout boilyguard" "It's a notion,'" he said. I might do that same." The warning came of "All aboard" and in another few minutes they were taking their places in the liner and settling down to the next stretch of the flight to Sharjah further along tl ; same side of the Persian Gulf. "That last station and the next halt are new to me," Glynn said. 'The route ran along the Persian side when I was on the job out this end." "I read something about changing the route at the time" she said cas- ually. "More political business wtusn't it?" "Yes," said Glynn, and i)roducing maps went on to show.the old and Ihe new route, and point to some of the points unolding like the map itself, below them. The .steward came along and hand- ed a long wireless message to Glynn. It was from the Prince's Secretary relayed on by wireless from the last land cable station, and it said with uttter disregard apparently of the cost of cables and wii-eless messages â€" 'Prince disturbed by dangers you are meeting. Stop Congratulations you on success so far. Stop. Desires you suit- ably reward as you think best gentle- man who gave such valuable assist- ance at personal risk at Athens Stop In.strucling his Indian house provide competent guards at Karachi to con- duct you to destination Stop Spare no expen.se whatever to insure success of your journey. Stop Please report progress rom each Stopping place. Secretary." Glynn read this carefully through twice, and thsn, with a chuckle pas- sed the message over to Norah. "No- thing in it yo'; may not know," he said, "except as a specimen of the extrarvagances of Indian princes with cablegrams." "And of Oriental caution," she ad- ded, when she had skimmed through the mesage. "You notice the name Naplata is not mentioned and there is nothing in this that might not be a normal business message except to anyone who knew its inner meaning as you do â€" and as I do, thanks to you for letting nie into some of the sec- rete." '(losh! You're right," agreed Glynn reading the message through again. "But there's one iiem rather puzzles me. Read that bit about 'suitably re- ward' the rgentleman â€" you know that means Jimmy Doyle. What d'you think the Prince's idea of 'suitably' vould run to? Does he mean a fiver or a tenner or something up or down from that?" â€" To l)e continued.

At the begin- ning of the previous school year she had seen her neighbor, almost dally, bribing, coaxing and arguing to get her twin Bona started with the other children. "What was wrong there that they did not want to go?" asked Mrs. Wood of the primary teacher whose class the twins attended. "To much 'sugar coating' at home," answered Miss Doane, frankly. This, she went on to say, was not good for any child. This mother had never allowed her boys to feel that there were hard tasks to be perform- ed and difficult lessons to be learned In the first years of their lives, and so they had not formed the habit of attack and had missed the Joy of achievement. She had waited on them, had paid them tor each little service and had tried to eliminate every hardship from their young liv- es. Miss Doane said the children best prepared for school entrance were those who had learned to wait on themselves, to sit quietly for short periods of time when there were guests, to perform little errands and chores without being rewarded for each act, and who knew how to work and play with others. "This," she added, "is what boys and girls learn In kindergarten. I wish we had one here." So Mrs. Wood conducted a little survey of herself and her children to check up on the various Items. She found that she was waiting on her children more than was necessary and was "paying" them In pennies and treats much too frequently. On the other hand she had many strong points to her credit as she had always talked with them about school in a very happy way, speaking of it as be- ing a great pleasui\i and one to which they would be admitted when they were sufficiently big and brave and strong. She had been firm In not al- lowing them "treats" that would up- set digestion â€" a frequent cause of naughtiness In school â€" and she had seen to it that they were fair and generally unselfish in their play. So with this good -oundation on which to build she gradually eliminated the other habits not so desirable. She played school with the children, re- presentlug it as a very delightful ex- perience and she gave them specific duties including keeping their play desks in good order. At other times she set them task:, iu the kitchen ani dining room. And, although It made considerable extra work, she Invited many other boys and girls to the house to play. She soon saw a great change in the children. She had tried to keep them babies before, now she put emphasis on their development and the joy of added responsibilities. ^/ilHAYMORE ^ I >ltlan^aty \%e flreenilne/ii Hotel Achievement Relieved/ "Baby'a Own Tablets have been t he only medicine my (our children liaveeverhad.

Miss Doane laugh- ingly answered, "I have dealt with babyish children too long not to know or not to have the desire to help when I can." The teacher was always eager that the little pupils who came to her should get the very most out of their first school year, and that was what the properly prepared children usual- ly did. Release Jack Mi iner 8 Geese Birds Transplanted to Manitoba as Experiment WINNIPEG â€" A new experience re- cently awaited 25 Canadian geese from the bird sanctuary of Jack Miner at Kingsville, Ont. Brought by train from the east, they were to be releas- ed near the city. The plan to transplant the geese was sponsored by the Manitoba Free Press and the Provincial Government. Study will be made of the birds' mi- gratory habits. The geese were released near Grant's Lake, 20 miles northwest of here, annual spring landing spot tor flocks of geese on their return to the norttaland. Gun Gave Time In Early Days CALGAnVâ€" Old-timers who check their timepieces by telephone or radio recall the time 50 years ago, when they passed the hat for just that purpose. Col. James Walker, one of the old- est living members of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, secured permission to fire the police head- quarters gun at noon each day. The powder was provided by citizens who subscribed to a fund for that pur- pose. The cannon was one of the nine-pounders brought west when Fort Macleod was first established. "Cheap for Cash" The knot was tied, the pair wed .^nd then the smiling bridegroom .«aid Unto the preacher, "Shall I pa y To you the usual fee to-day Or would you have me wait a year .A.nd give you then a hundred clear. If I should find the marriage state .As happy as I estimate?" The preacher lost no time in thought To his reply no study brought, There were no wrinkles on his bix>w. Said he: "111 take $3, now." Some Highlights British Budget! Features of ths new British bud- get as revealed by Neville Chamber-] lain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, are: The real surplus on the last fiscal year was 1195,000,000. On present ba. sis surplus of coming year would be $145,000,000 Employment ii.creases reduced re- lief paj-ment by $16,500,000 ; beer re- venue was $15,000,000 over estimates Tea and sufe'ir revenue were lower however. Lower revenue was expected from duties in coming year at Inter- Imperial trade increases in proportion to heavier-tax foreign imports. With "the largest surplus in ten^ years" he was able to announce these benefits. Income tax cut from five shillings in pound by sixpence, or roughly 10 per cent. Unemployment relief cut ik 1931 crisis, will be fully restored. | One-half the pays cut in the civil] service will be restored July 1st. This cuts the reduction to five psr cent. I Auto license tax of $5 per horse-' power reduced to 25 per cent j New duties imposed on patent lea-, ther, hydrocarbon and oil. Lighting Our Troubles The visible portion of the spectrum which Newton discovered, is only « small part of the radiatoins known to exist. J'jsl beyor.d the violet end ara' the well-known ultra-violet rays which have no penetrating power. Just beyond the red end of the J spectrum are the infra-red rays, and it is suspected that these altho-igh they ai>e a Icng way, so far as wave- length is coneen.ed, from the various; radiations obtained from radium and the X-ravs,f! have a similar, though not so powerful penetrating power. A beam of this invisible light will affect* a photo-electric cell although some portion of the body is interposed, be- tween lamp and cell, an electrical change, in fact, which can be measur- ed and recorded. It is suggested that* since X-rays show up only the more dense portions of the body, these in- fra-red rays may be complementary to them and show up the softer tis- sues.
