Try Salada Orange Pekro Blend "SALAM XSA SIS Stolen Adventure By VIVIENNE CHARLTON CHADWICK CHAPTER XII As Iris came cautiously into view of the river again, she saw an officer in uniform sneaking off down-stream to the right, crouching in the long grass as he went, A tall man was going in the opposite direction in the same manner, while Ronnie and a second officer in uniform knelt in the grass in the lee of the hoatshed. Iris made her way to the edge of the meadow, fished out her gun, and crouched in some shrubbery waiting breathlessly. All at once, her eyes widened. She had caught sight of the' plane, not ten feet away. She looked toward the river again. She saw that the officer who had gone downstream to, the right had reached a little promontory from which he could evidently keep an eye on the far side of the houseboat. The tail man who had gone to the left had disappeared from sight among some trees that met the water a few hundred hundred feet, upstream. Ronnie and the other uniformed officer still crouched behind the shed. Meanwhile, aboard the houseboat, a desperate conference was going on among the crooks. The river was too narrow for them to swim across without without offering excellent targets of themselves themselves as they tried to climb ashore on the other side. Besides, they had spotted the watcher on the promontory, promontory, and had glimpsed Castle making off the other way, and knew that, if they attempted to go overboard, one or the other of these men would have an excellent view of them. And then, there came drifting downstream a perfectly harmless looking log with a lumpish dab of moss on top of it. It drifted in toward toward the houseboat, bumped gently against the side ... A few minutes later, the men in the houseboat were startled by the sudden crashing of glass. A voice snapped, "Hands up, the lot of you!" They whirled, all four reaching for the celling.

Promptly, he marched them outside and hailed theshore. Castle, the man who had gone upstream, and the officer officer who had gone downstream came running. The second officer, who had been behind the shed with Ronnie, dashed to the pier. Ronnie was just about to follow when a splash under the wharf caught Ms attention. Unseen, the Canadian and Franks had succeeded in breaking out of the shed and had dropped quietly Into the water under the pier, where they had been lurking. lurking. Now Franks came wading out. A second later, he and Ronnie were battling furiously. The Canadian had been more wary. Unnoticed, he had gained the long grass at the edge of the shore. While everybody's attention was focused, first on the unexpected development aboard the houseboat, and then on the fist fight between Ronnie and Franks, he crept toward the landing field. When he reached it, he sprang erect, and raced across the grass toward toward the plane. Iris, seeing him coining, leaped from her hiding place and screamed. She saw Ronnie, who had just dropped dropped Franks with a sizzling right, whirl at- the sound of her cry. He gave a surprised shout and came dashing across the field. , She saw him reach for his gun, then held in dismay. He had no gun -- he must have lost it during the fist fight ! The Canadian, meanwhile, wasted no more than a startled glance . at Iris, had reached his plane and leaped into the cockpit. Then, to her horror, she saw a gun appear suddenly in his right hand---saw him take deliberate aim at Ronnie. She gasped, jerked her own gun from the bosom of her dress -- and fired point blank. A moment later, she had dropped to the grass in a dead faint . . . Iris opened her eyes slowly, gathered gathered her senses bit by bit.

That gentleman, finding his charge once more among those present, smiled smiled tenderly down at her and brought the car to a stop. Iris dizzily sat up. "What--what happened ?" "Oh, nothing much. You just saved my life, that's all!" replied Ronnie airily. "Well, of course, that wasn't much!" agreed Iris. "But I--I didn't kill that man, did I ?" "No--nobody's killed. You just got him in the shoulder. But it will be quite a while before Monsieur Gironde Gironde pilots a plane again. He's in handcuffs at the moment!" "Did they get everybody?" "Every one!

Iris shook her head slowly. She looked down at the diamond on her left hand and casually removed it. She slipped it Into her pocket. "Nope," she said. She smiled sleepily sleepily at him. Ronnie looked down at her. Her face was smudged. There was a long scratch across one cheek, and a big bump on her forehead from the motorcycle motorcycle handlebar. Her hair was wild. "Darling," he told her, "you're the loveliest thing I ever looked at!" He himself had a cut on his chin, and a bruise on his left cheek was rapidly turning half a dozen different colors.

Lord Baden-PowelFs Greatest Deed Writes the Stratford Beacon- Herald :--In his autobiography Lord Baden-Powell says the achievement of which he is most proud is the establishment establishment of the South African Mounted Police, which he was invited invited by the government to undertake after the Boer War. It is very similar similar to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The rest of the world, however, however, would probably opine that his greatest achievement was not the Police nor the defence of Mafelting. but the foundation of the Boy Scout movement. The Boy Scouts in their various radiations, including, the Girl Guides, the formation of which is attributed to Lady Baden-Powell, have probably done more for boyhood in many lands than any other organization with the probable exception of the church. It is entirely non-military, and, as Sir Edward Beatty said in Ottawa the other night, the object is to encourage boys to equip themselves themselves so that later in life, with healthy mindsd in healthy bodies, they will be able to take over the tasks that come their way. But the training of the Scouts is specially directed toward leadership. There is an enormous number of jaccomplish- ments they can learn, dll of them useful in the home, business and general general life, developing their powers of observation as well as finding' out in what direction their talents lie. While it, teaches them to have confidence confidence in themselves, to initiate movements, make quick decisions and to take command, it also teaches them the value of the team spirit. While training leaders, it is also a great democracy, showing them, how to accept each other and not to attach attach undue weight to the accidents of birth or fortune. Most important of all, it teaches them to help others, in or outside the movement, man, woman or child, rich and poor, irrespective irrespective of race, color or creed; surely the finest exhibition of altruism altruism in the world. The Boy Scout movement is the largest boys' organization in the world, and is notable for the fact that Scouts seldom get into trouble. Indeed, a true Scout cannot get into into trouble of any kind, and magistrates magistrates express surprise when an' accused accused lad is stated to be one, Among themselves they have their own trials by Courts of Honor, We are unable to say how old the phrase, "He's a good scout," is, but it is almost the finest tribute or epitaph epitaph a man could have, and we may not be far wrong if we suggest that it owes its origin to Lord Baden- Powell's organization. Parents should, feel happy and content when their young sons join the Cubs , and work their way through a course that ma'-es for real manhood. FIRST CHOICE FOR THOSE WHO ROLL THEIR l OWN - j Ü8 ii IliÊÊï Willi T'r Y'JT X'V-Vvti-rrK'r' Athletics Ensure More Efficient Lungs For Man The idea that strong men and athletes are more "red-blooded" than the average man may provide good reading in a dime novel but as far as scientific confirmation goes--well, there just isn't any. Nor is there any evidence to support the popular conception that a champion athlete has bigger lungs than the average man. With ordinary-sized lungs, however, he Can handle half again as much oxygen as the average man. Research by Dr. David B. Dill, of Harvard's Fatigue Laboratory, reported reported to the American Association of Physical Anthropologists shows that hemoglobin, the red coloring matter of blood used for transporting transporting oxygen, is just as concentrated in the arteries of the average man as it is in those of the superman. The athlete does have an advantage, advantage, however, in addition to more efficient lungs. When Increasing age begins to take its toll of man's physique, the man who has stayed "in trim" and has trained, is able to resist the general slowing down of the body mechanism far better than the man who has not. His lungs are still more efficient. Man is at his physical peak, for example, between the ages of 20 and 30. As far as utilization of life-giving life-giving oxygen is Concerned, men in their twenties are about the same. But when they turn 30 the athlete's efficiency decreases at a much slower slower rate. Trees on The Prairies A continuous effort has been made over many years to encourage the growth of trees on prairie farms. Possibly the primary reason was to improve these farms by relieving them of the bareness of -the flat prairies. Latterly it has been demonstrated demonstrated that shelter belts and hedges reduce the corrosive force of high winds and also accumulate snow during the winter months. These facts have added - a now incentive to the tree planting campaign.
