Rut even then, of course, he might have been engaged on some other enterprise or by some other employ- er â€" for political or terrorism purpos- es perhaps. But when they reached Hydrapore and left the station, one, at least, quickly learned the whole of the facts, and some other.«. A woman sidled up to him in the crowd, whispered a word and moved off with him saunt- ering along close behind. In a shady corner of a quiet street she halted and squatted down, and he did the same beside her. The man was the Indian, Dass, who had travelled with Glynn by the Air Mail. ".Speak, wife of my brother Abdul Ali," he began, but at that she broke in with a gesture of despair â€" "Not the wife, but the widow of your bro- ther. He died, was killed to-day." "Killed?" said the man slowly. "Was it an accident, or is there one to pay for the killing? And if there is, be sure, be very sure, widow of my dearest brother, that the debt will be paid." The woman nodded, and bowed her face in her hands. Dass leaned closer and whispered "You know how dear were we two brothers, each to each; I too, shall mourn him with you, but only after I have brought death to thi' dcath-bringer." Then the woman told her talc, and the man sat like a stone, listening without interruption. T^e Vulture had gone that day with bis black slave, known to all men as The Killer, to the roof top of his house tower, and sent for Abdul Ali to come there to him. In a little lime The Vulture came down alone to bi.s rooms, and in yet a little time more Abdul Ali, as The Killer rcport- o<l, "fell" from the rotC to Ihe ground below. lie lay Ihoi'i', all men fearing the wrath of The Vulture if even the dead body .-should be picked up, until at last his wife had crept out to him and managed to drag him a little way out of sight to where she could get hel|) to bear him home. Only when he was there did she find he still lived, although all the bones of his body seemed to Iw broken. She and some others did what they could, but he was beyond help and soon died. But before he died ho told how and why he did, and that his brother Dass, who was even then on the train from Karachi, should be told quickly. Abdul Ali knew that his brother Pass was one of those on the train, and when The Vulture made his plan to wreck it and would not b€ dissuad- ed although it meant death to hia own men, Abdul Ali, as the only way to save his brother, telephoned secret- ly to the Police making report of the plan and where the train was to be destroyed. So the train was saved, and Dass with it. ISul wl.cii The Vu.turc iiuU iiewsi of this he suspected, re..,fcmbering also that .Abdul Ali had spoken of his own muii and wishing to warn them to leave the train ; and he questioned Abdul Ali, asking who were the four men. Then he, thinking that if it were known Dass, his brother, were of the four he might be suspect of treachery, lied and named four men without naming his brother as one. I Then The Vulture pretended to be satisfied, but questioned others and found that Dass was one of the four. He sent for Abdul Ali to come to the' j roof-lop, and he went, thinking itj was to get further orders about an- other jilan that had been made to carry off the Courier by seizing the! motors sent to bring him to the pal-' ace. So Abdul Ali wejit up to the I roof top, and there was left with the Killer, who threw him down and kill- ed him. Dass sat .silent and bowed for a time after the tale was ended, and then hfe asked, "This other plan to! take the Courier â€" did my brother, say what it was?" j "No, except that he v.as to be car- ried off from the station, and taken to tho hou.se in the city that used to be that of The Vulture's mother, but! is now empty." "Then if the plan succeeded, the Courier would be at that house even at this minute. And perhaps The Vulture would be there too, to see that which he carried?" asked Dass. "It may be. I do not now," said the woman ; and Dass rose quickly. And because of that tale, Dass went straight to the Police; and when he said he had word of where the missing Courier might be, he was brought straight to the Head and made report of the house, adding that if the police moved quickly he could guide there men enough to surround the house and make sure that none escaped from it â€" no man of them from the highest born to the lowest. The police moved quickly, very quickly indeed. In fact, they could hardly have made better speed if they had known that at the moment Glynn's life hung by a thread, and the iiacket that might win or lose a Prince's throne was on the edge of destruction. n SALAD/S: Delightful Quality TEA TIO Fresh from the Gardens Infra-Red Detective Rays Reveal Censored Lines in Book 300 Years Old A PAOE PROM MY DIARY by PX.2 CHAPTER XXV THE FILM DESTROYED Glynn had tried many times to move his limbs or stretch his bonds, but the men who had tied him knew their work too well and ho could not move an inch. While one went to find the butcher's cleaver, Glynn tried to buy his release with his packet, and then, finding that • useless, bargained for his life alone, offering to pay if no harm was done to him, even al- though they took his package. They heard him with complete indifference, not even listening to him but chatting amongst themselves. | It was not until the cleaver was there and the butcher was testing its edge on his thumb, that the thought came to Glynn of words he had heard' pass l)ftwe''n lh<' robbers in the, theatre gardens at Karachi, and that ho had repeated later to the police as the reason for being alive. "Have you thought," he said quiet- ly, "what will halii)en if you kill me?" "I shall have tried cutting up a new kind of animal," said the butcher with an evil grin. "And the river crocodiles will be well fed to-night," added another. "If I am killed," said Glynn, "every man here may be dead when to-mor- row's sun sets. Most certainly will be- fore another moon comes and goes." Thi.s checked them for a moment, and they looked at each other. "A robbery may be a * small matter to the police," Glynn went on, "but a dead man will make much commot- ion â€" and a white man, an English- man, will be no matter for being forgotten." (To Be Continued.) In the Huntington Library In Cali- fornia is a copy of Theodore de Bry's "Voyages," a book which was publish- ed*Uiiee centuries ago and which was so offensivo to the censor of the In- quisition that he obliterated passage after passage with the blackest Ink that he could find. Having' read that the infrared rays can pierce such seemingly hopeless blemishes, the Huntinglon librarian decided to make use of them. The rays passed right through the obliterating Ink as if It were transparent. There was no difficulty In reading on photographs what the censor thought he had ex- punged for good and all. Even the effect of time may also be overcomo by the telltale rays. In the British Museum Is a piece of lea- ther which dates from 1200 B.C. More than one hand had written upon ft after the older script had been clean- ed off. The infra-red rays were able to distinguish between two sets of inscriptions because of the differences between tha reflecting and absorbing powers of the leather and the ink. Nothing of importance was discover- ed. The test was of value because it revealed the possibilities of the infra-red rajs )n the service of the archaeologist. Olof Bloch, who is chief chemist for a British flrnn of film and dry- plate makers explains these myster. les ver;' simply in Discovery. Ordin. ary ink does not absorb infra-red light readily. If, dierefore, we write in India ink and blot out the writing with ordinary Ink it is easy enough to photograph ihe first impression. Re- verse the process, and the result is failure. If the censor of de Bry's "Voyages" had used Ink which agreed in composition with that of the book he would have made It impossible to photograph the type.

Pied Pipers Busy in South War on Rats With Poison Instead Of Pipes Birmingham, Ala. â€" The legendary Pied Piper of Hamelin, who lured rats to a watery grave with sub'le music, has more than 100 modern parallels in Birmingham. The '20th Century pipers, armed with traps and poisons instead of pipes, are waging a campaign agilrst rats of every description in a foicral project to prevent spread uf typhus fever. Aid of housewives and pro- perty owners is being enlisted. In the past six years, the disease increased 800 per cent, throughout the United States. In the same period, Alabama reported a gain of 1,700 per cent. Last year, Alabama reported 823 casPs of the fever, more than half the number of cases record- ed in the entire nation. Typhus ever is spread by a species of flea which lives upon rats. Ala- bama's rats, the fever carriers, were believetl to have been brought from Asia during the Civil War. During the tenure of the Civil Works Administration, it was esti- mated that 5,000,000 rats were killed in "21 Alambama counties which spon- sored rat eradication drives. The fever carriers breed in rubbish and ftuh, rarely entering homes when food is available elsewhere.

The seeds of interest in sowing the fringe of the State's highways with the official state flower appear to have taken firm root. Koadside beautificatlon was first considered at a meeting of the fed- eration two years ago, through the suggestion of .Mr. Frederick A. Gard- ner, state publicist for the New Hampshire Highway Department. The movement was given further in.- petus by Mr. Haven Doe, state sena- tor from Rollinsford, who suggested to a local garden club that instead of spending the time and effort to stage an annual flower show, more good would result if every member would plant something from his or her gar- den alongside the roadway through the town â€" perennials preferably, but anything that would add a touch of beauty that passers-by might see. The New Hampshire Development Commission will co-operate with the federation members and the State Highway Department in laying out such a program of beautfication, in addition to establishing garden plots at intervals along the highways. Testing Flysprays Rapidity in Killing Insects Measured in Experiments Anker HoltJx BARNIA. OKT. When A. L. Blount, research super visor of a flyspray manufacturing plant in Los Angeles, Calif., rumin- ates on the fecundity of insects he is overwhelmed. Man has passed through 40,000 generations and the insect through 300,000,000, he says. It makes him shudder to think that a single female housefly that has man- aged to survive the Winter in some cranny would produce more than five trillion offspring if there were no struggle for existence. Whereupon he goes back to his laboratory to supervise the compounding and test- ing of flysprays with a new zest The poison selected is known as pyrethrum, because is comes from pyrethrum flowers, w Ij i c h are daisies. In fact, the dried, pulveriz ed field daisy has been used as an insecticide for years. The deadliest of all daisies grows in Japan and is, botanically speaking, a small chrys- anthemum. Curiosly enough, the flower is harmless to higher animals. To a man who specializes in fly- killing it is not enough to make a powder out of poisonous daisies and then trust to luck. Blount makes tests. Two tests, to be exact. One is the Peet-Grady and the other is the Uichardson. STANDARDS FOR STKE.N'GTH The Peet-Grady is so simple that flies grasp its meaning at once. In ten minutes a spray, whatever its compostion, must knock down 95 per cent, of the flies that it strikes and at least GO per cent of these victims must be dead twenty-four hours lat- er. Most members of the National Association of Insecticide and Disin- fectant Manufacturers do better than that. To satisfy Blount a spray must knock down all the flies in its path in ten minutes, and !)0 per cent must be really ilead after twenty-four hours. Tho Riclmrdsoii test measures paralysis. It is a worthy companion of the Peet-Grady because it enables a manufacturer to determine the amount of poison in his spray and hence the potency of the pyrethrum flowers offered to him. All that the laboratory worker does is to measure the time required to paralyze 50 per cent, of tho flies, that have been sprayed. As for the fliei!, they are not caught in stables, scrcenless kitchens and less polite places.

Massage Your Scalp About Once a Week Issue No. 34 â€" '34 The question of whether or not fc massage the scalp invariably comes up whenever a group of beauty- minded people get together. Some say that you should not massage around the roots of the hair at all, others maintain that a weekly massage is beneficial, and still others insist that you should do it every night. Well, let's look at all sides of the contro- versy. Vigorous beauty treatments, like most medicine, should be taken in moderate doses and the facetious slogan, "If a little's good, a lot's bet- ter," is highly impractical. The scalp is massaged for two reason, first, to bring up circulation and stimulate the growth of hair and, second, to loosen dry skin and Hakes of dandruff. Now it stands to reason that daily stimu- lation isn't exactly necessary and that too much massage may make the oil glands overdo their normal work. Therefore, a weekly scalp massage (preferably the night before a shampoo) should be adequate. Remember that incorrect manipu- lation of the scalp is worse than no massage at all. Place your elbows on a table and put your head in your hands. Then, with rotary motionsi make the scalp move backward andi, forward for no more than ten min- utes. The fingers shouldn't move at! all until you're ready to set them* down on a new spot. MATURin-MATERNITY MIDDLE AGE At these three critical periods a woman needs a medicine she can depend on.
