GILLETT'S LYE I The police ofRcer had op«ned the I little ha^ he carried and turned out I of it the broken remnants of the film I found under the dying man. It was ' cracked, broken, twisted and tied in I knoLs, charred in places by fire, \ smeared and clotted for the most part with half-dry sticky blood. The ' Premier and Hasim stiired at it with bulg-iiiR eyos and dropping jaws. j A servant slid into the rocnn and cvB'' to the Secretary, who, after a word from him, said quickly, "Bring him in," and to the Premier, "The film operator." The operator v.a.s .shown in, made his salaams, and moved quickly to the I'rcmier and .Secretary. lie was a young Anglo-Indian, keen, alert, and intelligent looking, and he s[>oke and boro him.self with the politeness of an educated man and the as.su r- ance of a technician, sure of his knowledge. His eagerness and haste were patent to both the men to wliom he spoke. He was ready, he .said, and the film would he running two minut- es after he got back with it to his machine. "But may I ^ay there is no minute to lose," he added earnestly. "It was known the moment the police car ar- rived with the one they call the Flying Couries, who brought the film from London by air, and from Karachi by train. They art already clamouring for the picture, and there are many who shout loudly that there will be no picture, tliat the tale of a film of His Koyal Highness the Prince is a lie. There have been brawls in the crowd between groups of men of the Prince and those of his half-brother the Vulture. May I have the film quickly then, and put it in the projector?" "The film is here," said the Pre- mier. "It is â€" is damaged. But if you can mend enough of it to show it is a film of His Highness, you will be well rewarded. See!" He stood a.side from the table on to which the film had been turned out, and waited with an an.xious eye on the face of the operator. The man stepped forward with an ex- clamation of satisfaction, but as his ey<- fell on the tangled rubbish on the table, he stopped abruptly, glar- ed a moment. Hung a glance round at the impassive faces of the Pre- mier, tho Secretary and the oflicer of the Cuard, and with clenched jaws moved to tho table and began to turn over and examine the film. "Is there anything you coulil rc- paii-, or enough you could cut up anil rejoui â€" anything that w<)uld show- on tho scrci-n it is a picture of the Prince'/" demanded the Premier. The Anglo-Indian made a gesture of hopeless despair. "There is noth- ing. Kxcellence," he said shortly. "With days of work 1 might pick out inches hero and there aiul smooth them and join them up to show there had been a picture of the Prince. Hut to-night, lo-hiorrow, or next day, there is nothing, nothing at all, thut would bo made pos!«iblc tii pass through the projector.'" The three who listened to him â€" the Premier, the Secretary and the oflicer commanding the guard â€" look- ed at each other. Commissioner Unw- ly, silting beside (Jlynn, was watch- ing the three, with half an ear on the murmured talk of (ilynn and Norah. He guessed the significance of the last look that passed lietwei'ii the Premier and his Secretary anil from them both to the Commanding Ofl'ioer. He heard the abrupt worils of the oflicerâ€" "With iiermission I go to order my troopers to horse, and out swords," saw him salute, turn and stride out. Commissioner Itawly leaned acros.s (ilynn and remarked to Norah on the other side of him, "There's going to be some fireworks round here pre- sently. (iCt flat down on the fl(M)r when the shooting starts. And I think we ought to get this young fellow- nie-lad to bed â€" or a mattress well down on the floor for iirefeience. (iood job these Indian palaces arc mostly built of marble and stuff that won't burn easily." EATS DIRT Issue No. 37â€" '34 •TKIl XXVII NiV'i TlilVMlll Almost unconsciously and unheetl- â-ºingly, those in the Premier's room had been hearing from outside the full rising and falling roar of the Rhnuting iiMib, the rolling lH>omliig thundrr of the drums. Suddenly, j through that there c:imc to them the clear, cold, unhurried notes of a cavalry trumpet, clean and sharp as a knift^ cutting through cheese. As the fust soaring notes shrilled out, the roar of the mob died down and away, and even the -insistent thunder of the drums muttered and faded in- to silence. But as the last trumpet note pealed out and cut off, the roar of the crowd, the beat of the drums rose again, and swelled and reverb- erated in an ominous passion of fan- atical calls to strife, murder and war. • • • * The Prince's Premier hurriedly recalled himself to a sense of his duty and hospitality. Calmly but quickly ho crossed the room to where Glynn sat slumped back in his chair with Norah on his one side and Raw- ly on the other. "Captain EUiman, you ought to go to bed and rest," he said kindly. "You have done your utmc-st, and we all understand it is no fault of yours that at least one copy of the film has not reached us." Glyim stiiggcred to his feet and stared. "No film reached you?" he exclaimed. "When docs your Air Mail arrive? Didn't it come on the train we did?" Everyone there thought his mind was Euflfering from tho strain and perhaps the blow on his head. "It's all right, Glynn," murmured Norah soothingly. "The Air Mail doesn't really matter ju.=t now." "Matter," shouted Glynn. "Of couiso it matters. Nothing else does. When will it reach you?" "It came sonic hours ago," said the Premier, and Glynn stared at him with dropiiing jaw. "It came," he gasped, as the Secretary lifted a tray full of letters and packets from a table beside him. "There has been no time to open it all," he explained, "or ntore than glance through the letter from the Prince." Glynn pounced on one packet. "Bet- ter open that," he said, "and quick, loo. The Prince's film is in it. I ought to know-. 1 packed and posted it my- self." With frantic haste the cover was torn off, a round tin pulled from the cardboard packing, the lid snatched off and a roll of film exposed. "Don't waste time to examine it," cried Glynn. "I guarantee it is what you want." "Run," cried the Premier, thrust- ing the tin into the hands of the oiieralor, " â€" and you, Hasim, out (juick and shout that the film of the Prince is here, will be shown within minutes." The two dashed off and the Pre- mier sank back in his seat mopping his brow. "But how it this?" he ask- ed in a puzzled voice. "The Prince was emphatic in letters and cables that only two copies had been sent." "So there were â€" only two." said Glynn composedly. "Then how â€" one was stolen w-ith your bag at Galilee; the second is there â€" useless wreckage. How is it there is one by the same Air Mail that brought you?"

She had been staying at the home of her brother, William McKishnie during the last two months. Mrs. Blewett who was 72 years of age had been in poor health for some time. Mrs. Blewett, poet, novelist and newspaper contributor, was born at Scotland, Harwich Township, Kent County, Ontario, Nov. 4, 1862. Her parents, John and Janet (Mclntyre) McKishnie, were both natives of Argyllshire, Scotland. She was edu- cated at the local public ;vchools and at St. Thomas Collegiate Institute. At the ago of IG she was married to Bassett Blewett, a native of Corn- wall, England, who for many years conducted a farm near Blenheim, Ont., and died in 1919, some years after removal to Toronto. Through her mother Mrs. Blewett was related to Duncan Ban Maclntyre, the fam- ous Gaelic poet. While still in her 'teens the de- sire and ability to write revealed it- self, and her poems, short stories and articles in the press began to attract attention. In 1890 she pub- lished a novel, "Out of the Depths", and since then many short stories have appeared from her pen. and work was commenced on a new novel illustrative of Canadian girlhood. Some years ago Mrs. Blewett won a prize of ?G00 offered by the Chicago Record-Herald for the best poem on "Spring" when the editor wanted to ascertain if the subject could still be treated freshly. A collection of her verse entitled "Heart Songs" appear- ed in 1897 and another, "The Corn- flower and other Poems" in 1906, both having a wide sale. A collected edition of her poems was issued in 1922. Her first published and paid for poem, accepted by Frank Leslie's Weekly, w-as a lullaby to her own baby. Mrs. Blewett showed in unusual measure an understanding of and .sympathy w-ith the common people. Her writing r.iipealed to the heai-t more strongly than to the head, and her work w-as clipped and cherished by thousands who had no love for the more .sombre classics. She knew Canadian life, east and west, and above all she knew human nature, and this fact shone in her lines, prose as well as verse. She dealt with homely subjects in a hoMiely way. She did not attempt wild flights or rhapsodies or deep philosophical pro- blems, but she wrote in simple, every- day language of everyday alfairs. In particular she appealed to girls and women readers. Her thoughts were always wholesome and sometimes had a religious touch. She ever sought to interest her readers in the ideal, and had no sympathy with the sordid or unwiiole.some phases of life. Among the many poems written by Mrs. HU'wetl none was more popular than "For he was Scotch and So was .She," which reads as follows: â€" They were a couple well content With what they earned and what they spent. Cared not a whit for style's dec-reeâ€" For he w-as Scotch and so was she.

Mrs. Blewett will be missed by a wide circle of readers and by the i;^any friends her sweet and un- assuming personality had gained for her. Life of a Chorus Girl (H. V. O'Brien in Chicago News.) The term "chorus girl" has a wick- ed sound. When to that is added "artist's motlel" the air takes on a purplish hue. Yet I lunctied yesterday with a girl who plies both trades, and a gentler, more refined (to use a quaint Victorian w-ord) or livelier-minded young person I never met. Beside her, most debutantes would appear crude. She was a country girl who grad- uated from college, taught school for a time, and came to the great city to study music. To live, she got a job at the w-orld's fair in the chorus cf a show. She was dismayed when she found that the job called for nudity in a peep show, but she stuck to it, and won a prize in a beauty contest. This led to living-pictures â€" bet- ter pay, but harder work. .\ll day, she stood with nothing much on, be- ing ogk'd by prurient oafs. In odd moments, she practised the violin. Then Iho perfection of her figure caught the ye of a sculptor, and she increased her income by posing for him. This meant more work, but she still managed to put in som? hours assisting a fi'mous composer in the orchestration of a symphony. She is playing now, four times a night, in the floor show of a well- known night spot. Her revelations of what goes -,'ii behind the sscencs. there, are upsetting. .A chorus girl is hedged with more restrictions than surround a maiden in the most select of boarding schools. Every dc tail of conduct is supervised as care, fully as diet and exercise. Though, says this young woman, the super- vision is hardly necessary. The girl? take their dancing seriously. They are artists, and so much time is re quired for work that little is left for play. "If I wanted to be sure a girl would go straight, I'd put her in the chorus of a good show," she says. How do young persons of the chorus occupy their time between shows? Well, believe it or not, they put on old riding breeches, strap on roller skates, and, without removing makeup, go whizzing through the streets for a breath of fresh air! That life is seldom as it seems was my thought as I listened to this young woman's clean, shrewd philosophy of life. We talked of books and pictur- es and far lands, and I was agape at the breadth of her knowledge, the subtlety of her responses, the clear- eyed humor of her realism. For hours after leaving her. the dismal auguries of the politicians left me cold. I can't believe that the country is going to pot when there are such vividly courageous person alities still in it. Safety First Every day motor traffic is Increas. Ing in volume, yet with all the gen- eral knowledge at the disposal ot the automobillst, some drivers seem to be unaware that there is particular dan- ger at grade railroad crossings. Al- most daily the dispatches carry de- tails ot deatiis caused by some care- less motorist driving upon a rail road crossing in front ot an approaching train. Thhese drivers seem to be so careless and irresponsible as to make their acts little short ot criminal. In. dividuals ot seeming Intelligence, able to possess cars and operate them, re- main as Ignorant when It comes to" driving across a railway traci* as the savages who have never seen a rail- road or locomotive.

Nightgown Dresses Have High Waistline ' Higher waistlines have had insist- ent quotation in wireless reports from the Paris openings, frequently linked with the Directoire period so that there is no doubt as to how high they are- In this connection there is re- ference to "nightgown" dresses which suggest those simple belted frocks, hanging straight to the floor which are so closely associated with the Dir- ectoire period. These models appar ently are on the simple sides of fash- ion while those w-ith fullness and for- mality quoted as taking their cue from the Rcnaiissance period show a reverse style picture. Designers who have just returned from the Paris openings e.xpress themselves as convinced by the num- bers of evening models which en- courage a higher waistline effect, es- pesially as combined with a molded line, for evening wear.
