His treacherous captors had carâ€" ried him to the deserted mill across the stream and had fastened him to a wall in the basement. As the light grew stronger he was sure of this.

If she consents to become my wife she will be spared the flames and you will be spared the whipping. You will burn anyhow, as 1 have no other means of stopping the fuss you would make." The threat féll flat, so far as outward show went. If it did there was no sign. Norâ€" man preserved silence, gazing up at the dissipated face with weary scorn.

"Then I fail to see the urgency which coused you to drag me from my public duties in London," said Mr. Colne haughtily. "Why don‘t you go and arrest your man? The case is complete." "I am sorry to have disturbed you, sir, but in the chief commissioner‘s opinion the case is not quite ripe for an arsost," he replied suavely. "I have been in communication with Sir Donald at the Yard this afternoon. It is a question of the dateâ€"the 7th of June two years ago. We shall have to prove that Sir ‘Dudley Glenister was at the Granage on that day and was therefore in a position to have killed his cousin if the latter kept the appointment made in the letter.

"I was hoping to reach the Towers before you, sir, but I have had a very busy day," the inspector replied reâ€" spectfully. "This is genuine, Wragge?" he said after a pause.

"I had your message in Downing Street and hastened here at once. You have found the letter written by Sir Dudâ€" ley Glenister to his cousin?" On arriving at the house Mr. Colne at once led the way to his study. "Not the original, sir," replied Wragge "As I told you, that was hopeless from the first. But I have got a man who took a press copy of it, which he will produce, and in the meanwhile he has informed me of the contents."

A SMART SUIT 1499 Hudson Bay Basin Rich in Resources Picturing the future of the Hudson Bay Basin as a producttive section of the Dominion, the Hon. Charles Mcâ€" Crea, Ontario Minister of Mines, spoke briefly recently before the Canadian Institute of Mining »and â€"Metallurgy, Toronto Branch. Mr. McCrea introduced Dr. R. B. Stewart, chief medical adviser of the Hudson‘s Bay Company, who gave an illustrated lecture on "The Natural Resources of the Hudson Bay Basin." Mr. McCrea referred to the railway builders pushing two different lines up to Hudson Bay and James Bay, as moâ€" dern pioneers, following the example set by Hudson. the explorer, in 1611. Referring to the geological makeâ€"up of the basin, the speaker tuoched upâ€" on _the granite to be found along the northern rims of the bay, the lignite on the Salmon River which supplies the stoves of many of the northern stations of the company, the mica beâ€" ing produced in small quantities at Lake Harbor, the nickel deposits at Cape Smith, lead at Mayfair River, gypsum and china clay in the Moose Factory section, and quantities of iron ore to be found in the Belcher Islands district, but noted that so far no gold deposits of. any consequence have been located, although prospecting is being carried still further northward, and a fair probabilitty exists ofâ€" this precious metatl being found in paying quantities. CGOLD YIELD EXPECTED Noting the immense area of the Hudson Bay Basin, more than 3,000, 000 square miles, Dr. Stewart referâ€" red to the vast range of itts climatic conditions extending from subâ€"Arctic to temperate. Furs, the product of the district for 250 years, are still being sent out in large quantities, Dr. Stewart stated. Fish of Two Varieties. "Hudson Bay is not teeming with fish, as some people imagine," Dr. Stewart said, referring to the scarcity of any variety except rock cod and white fish. In time, the fisheries of the basin may attain large production, but not for some years. _ Pulp and paper production is already going ahead, with prospect of additional mills in the near future. Black and white spruce, tamarac, balsam, poplar, white birch and balsom pine are among the principal species of timber found in the area. Fall wheat, growâ€" ing at Moose Factory, had shown as high a yield as that in the Western provinces, and a good future in agriâ€" culture was predicted by Dr. Stewart. Additional Pulp and Paper Mills Probable in Near Future "I believe the Hudson Bay area route will prove a boon to Western Canada for general commodities, but it will not be for some yearsâ€"posâ€" sibly neverâ€"that wheat will be shipâ€" ped to any great extentt. The straits are open longer than people imagine, but the dificulty will be to keep Fort Churchill‘s port open long enough to be of value to navigation by the new routte."

Toronto, 4 Construction of High Speed Seaplane Receives F ormal Approval of Air Ministry An air program which has jus re. celved the approval of the British aj Ministry and which calls for the cop. struction of a standard Supermarine Napler "S 5," Great Britain‘s high ¢ speed seaplane, has causod consider able discussion in meronautica} circles, as it is held to demonstratet one of the most rapid strides ever made in airplane building, which will close the wide gap between pure racing planes and practical war craft vnoe INOBL Tapit sirides ever made in drplun building, which win close the wide gap between pure racing planes and practical war craft, Alithough the speed of practical ap. craft has been mourting by the tens of miles an hour, year after year, the construction of fast military planes in the past always has been at least three or four years behind racing ships. . The few move brings the standard seaplane fighting equipment, in date of design, within a year and a half of the fastest racing ships pos. sessed by Great Britain. . Although the Supermarine Napier will be equipâ€" ped for the actual requirements of navy air fighters, it will remain on the "experimental list‘ ‘of the Air Minis ttry during a period of testing. The first detailed description of this fastest of floating airplanes to be re ceived in this country and published in the current issue of "Aero Digest," says that the fuselage has less crossâ€" secttion area than any plane Mer builtâ€"the basis of its design being the minimum cross section reqvired to ac commodate a pilot. In the bullding of the British racere of this type the cockpit literally was "tailored" to fit the individual pilots who were to fiy the planes. "It is generally agreed," says the "Aero Digest," "that the Supermarine Napier represents the zenith in cleanâ€" liness of design. The recent develop ments in the design of the racing Napier Lion engine have given the aircraft designer such a perfect opâ€" portumity to obtain a good lead4n for the fuselage that no increase in the erossâ€"sectional area of the body was dictated by the consideration of power unit installation." In general construction the machine is a lowâ€"wing, semiâ€"cantilever mone plane with twin float chassis. # Becrecy of construction of this "fy. ing bullet" has been exceeded only by the secrecy with which the Air Minie try has surrounded the details of the "Lion" engine which powers it. It was a motor of this type which was inâ€" stalled in the Campbell racer, when it established a new world‘s record for racing cars at Daytona Beach recentt ly. «. Nevertheless, a few interesting de tails regarding this mystery motor were given to the public last week by the Air Ministry, . The engine has twelve cylinders, arranged in a broad arrow design of three converging blocks of four cylinders each, But, despite the small space it occupies, this power unit is c of delivering 86 horsepower at revolutions a minute. . The weight of the engine is only tpounds, which is a fraction les a pound for every horsepowe livered.
