THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., JANUARY 20th, 193s Of Special Interest to Women Readers Tea for every Taste mm TEA SKY GIRL By NELLIE GRAF SYNOPSIS Elinor Ames tries to escape the heartbreak of her postponed marriage to Dr. Norman Rogers by becoming an air stewardess. Dr. Rogers' mother approves an alliance between Norman and wealthy Francine Bayless. Norman is jealous of Jack Newton, the pilot who helped Elinor get her Job. Leola Rogers, Norman's sister, is in fove with Jack, but has quarreled with him. Leola disappears, but wires Elinor a mysterious message not to fly again until she has seen her. A few days later, Elinor reads a newspaper account of Norman's betrothal to Francine Bayless. She leaves on her regular flight. A foreigner, Vald-mirz, is aboard. He carefully guards two small green bags and goes into a frenzy of anxiety when the plane runs into a lightning storm. CHAPTER VIII Fear clutched at Elinor's heart, but she could not permit herself to show it. The plane lurched crazlly. All the passengers by now had caught the realization of danger. Women began to sob and some of the men moved about uneasily. The man in the front seat, whose name was Bailey, arose and came back to Elinor, who balanced herself as the ship banked. "We are not in danger." He spoke loud enough for the other passengers to hear. "I've been in worse storms In Now, if everyone will just up, we'll.be aJLj-iKhtv^^^ 3 nervous little man gatgnppi ipping The bis bags. "How about telling a good joke?" Bailey whacked him on the back. Valdmirz huddled deeper into his seat. "Don't know any jokes," he croaked. "Let me alone." Elinor glanced back into the fog, hut it was not the fog blanket which held her eye, made her shudder with new fear. Two great lights penetrated the fog a short distance behind them and a little to the right. The lights of another plane. It was flying faster than their ship and gaining every second 1 Valdmirz stiffened, gasped audibly. "What's that flyer trying to do?" he muttered. 'Crash into our ship?" "Of course not," Elinor answered with a cheerfulness she did not feel. "That's prob-JI)ly a Government plane off its course, trying to get its bearings by trailing us." "It isn't a Government ulane," Bailey remarked. "It isn't the right color. Looks as though it might be privately owned." Plane In Pursuit Elinor pressed the pilot's signal. Immediately, her signal flashed, summoning her to the pilot's compartment. She hurried forward. "What's your trouble?" Jack asked. "A ship has been following us," Elinor explained, "just behind and a little to the right." "Great guns," Jack groaned, "is the pilot crazy? Is he trying to . . ." The words died on his lips. The other ship was cruising alongside on the right now, its nose even with their own liner. The noise was deafening. "Holy cats, Jack!" yelled the copilot. "Turn left and put on speed." Jack was already doing just that, but the other plane followed, hovering as close as it dared. "Whoever that pilot is, he seems bent on committing suicide and murder," the co-pilot groaned. Jack made a sudden turn and deftly loomed ahead of the shadowing plane in a burst of speed. "Whew!" The co-pilot wiped his forehead. "Let's make for the landing, Jack. I'm losing my grip." After a moment of tense silence, Jack said: "We'll make it to Belle-fonte." His eyes were on the fuel indicator. "Gosh, there's that plane again. Roll your window down, Grimes," he said to the co-pilot. "Beckon to them to clear the way." Out On The Wing Grimes did as he was instructed, but the pilot in the other ship could not or would not see as he kept on flying alongside, dangerously "The fellow is just plain crazy!" "Go back to the cabin, Elinor," Jack said tensely. But Elinor, whose face was pressed against the pane .of the co-pilot's win- 10c a day buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all , I featui FREE-CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR VrUe-- Remington Rand Limited it is -- it's the silver ship you remember the one in the hangar." "It's Doctor Rogers!" Jack shouted. "Handle the controls, Grimes!" He peered out. "It looks like that ship all right. What the. . ." He was interrupted by a frantic pounding on the door. He opened it to find the fellow with the green bags, Valdmirz, in a frenzy of fear. "That ship!" the man screamed. "It's after me. Me! Get away from it. Hully! There's been a leak. Someone told. It's me they want!" Bailey was pulling at Valdmirz. The other passengers were huddled in their seats. Women were weeping. The men held to their safety belts with shaking hands. Bailey was the only passenger who remained calm. He assisted Jack in forcing the fear-crazed Valdmirz back to his seat. Elinor administered aromatic ammonia, but she kept glancing out at the plane flying so close through the storm, which seemed to be getting worse. As she watched, fascinated, she noticed the emergency hatch of the silver plane lift slowly--that large glass opening above the pilot seat. A figure emerged--a slight figure. It crawled cautiously onto the wing and Elinor could neither speak nor He Threatened Queen Victoria Peer Who Frightened Her With Letters, Is Now Dead Memories of a national sensation •--a threat to the life of Queen Victoria--were revived by the announcement of the death in Broadmoor (England) Criminal Lunatic Asylum of Harry Wyndham Carter, at the age of 83. For nearly two generations he had been forgotten. Forty-three years ago Cartel, a bachelor and would-be aristocrat, Claiming the title of the Earl Whyncombe, saw the outside for the last time.

Carter served two terms in Broadmoor. In 1891 he was sent there after his mind had failed while serving a sentence of five years' penal servitude passed on him for shooting two men. He was released but the Queen Victoria incident led to his return. Harry Wyndham Carter is now buried and soon will be forgottenr SNACKS For Ski-ers Though most hostesses and housewives haven't the time to take an active part in winter sports along with the youngsters, they can be winners in their own field when the crowd comes home to eat.

Dr. Rosebury, who has worked for eight years -- experimenting' with rats, and clinically with Eskimos-- tentatively indentifies hard, compact foods, rich in carbohydrates, as the primary cause of caries, or decay. He believes that particles of such foods are packed into fissures of the teeth under relatively strong biting prest the process that the only way of producing molar decay in the animals similar to that found in man was to feed them diets containing coarsely-ground raw ce- iron, sprinkling V* cup uncooked ham finely dieed, over batter of each waffle just before closing iron. Soft scrambled eggs may be served on waffles. Bacon may be used instead of ham, if desired. Bakes 4 four-section waffles.
