"He‘s got the film in that despatch case right enough," he said.

CGlynn was well before the usual ime for the Airways motor to start with passengers for Croydon to emâ€" bark on the Mail ‘plane, and he did not have to go by it because a car from the aerodrome had came in and was able to give him a lift out. On arrival at the ‘drome, well ahead of the passengers, he was able to go through all the formalities, get his seanty luggage labelled, and have a chat with the pilot of the outgoing ‘plane before the passengers arrived. CHAPTER V.â€"(Cont‘d.) 4ilynn‘s precaution of taking a taxi taxi did not prevent Stefan and Max from picking up the scent at the start and following his taxi in their car to the Post Office. Max, in obedience to orders, went in to the Post Office and fddled about buying some stamps and postcards, and when he returned to the car he made his report to Stefan. Glynn flles the machine to London, but the doctors refuse to allow the Prince to By to India. As a last resort the Prince has a talking film made of himself readâ€" ing the Proclamation of Inheritance. Glynn‘s plane if found to have been tamâ€" pered with by The Vulture‘s nfom-, s0 decision is made for him to deliver the film by the regular air route.

At the last minute he is ordered to stand by for a special job. The Prince of Napatala is il1 in London and in haste to return to India, where his father has died. He must be present to claim the throne, which his halfâ€" brother, The Vulture, plots to seize.

He was staring at the girl, at first with doubts if he could believe his eyes, then with no doubt left as she came nearer and tui sed her full face towards him for an instant. the Post Office. At the moment he had no thought for this nor for a significance he came later to attach to the linking up of the threeâ€"the Inâ€" dian he had been warned against, the girl‘s companion who evidently knew this India, and the girl who was also on such friendly terms with him.

He made no further sign to Glynn, which was perhaps as well, because Glynn, by then, had no eyes for any such sign or for anything else than a man and a girl walkig and talking toâ€" gether and drawig nearer to where the Indian stood. _ The little man nodded and trotted off and Glynn watched him swing conâ€" verging in on the passengers, step in beside a leanâ€"bodied thinâ€"faced Indian, and taking him by the arm edge him clear of the others, talking rapidly. The Indian wilted, visibly drooping under the quickâ€"running sentences, waking a weak attempt to rally himâ€" self and bluster, but collapsing again under the quick retsr* that came, and standing staring after the little man as he turned abruptly and made off. "Right you are," said Glyt ing with us? No! Well, t« not to worry; and s‘long." "I‘ll go straight from you and speak to him, and him only. The Indian I speak to is the man.

He gestured towards the plane again face making for the ‘plane swerved suddenly, came straight for Glynn, and stopped with a gesture towards the machine which had nothing to do with what he said but which would have looked to anyone seeing it to indiâ€" cate a question about the machine. sa‘d Glynn. "Comâ€" Weill, tell the See .

Then I had another saying he was worse and that it was rather serâ€" ious, and I made up my mind to get back to him. I thought at once about the Air Mail and how much quicker it would get me there, so I just cabled I was leaving by air on Saturday." (To be continued.) She watched, fascinated, as the ground appeared to drop away from them rather than the liner leave it, and she felt the slight bumping moveâ€" ment change into a steady smoothness. But even when the liner swung and headed away on her due course, the girl had a hundred and one questions to ask, and it was not until they were nearing the Channel that they began to talk of other things, and then brokenly and with many interruptions for him to pointâ€" out something he thought would interest her, or she to exclaim at a tiny toyâ€"like ship below, or the distant shores of France, or anything else that caught her eye. off." He began to explain all about the machine and the start, how the takeâ€" off had to be made into the wind, and that the liner was turning on the ground to face into the wind. "Now we‘re round," he said. "She‘ll speed up now....See....watch the ground. But she was by no means ready to discuss anything but the wonderful and, to her, new experience of starting the flight. Staring eagerly out of the window down at the ground beginning to move at gathering speed, she cried out: "Oh do wait. We‘ve lots of time for that, and I‘m ever so excited about this flying. Look, we‘re turning round, aren‘t we. Why?" The liner was fairly full, but the steward had secured good seats for Glynn and his companion side by side. When all were aboard, the baggage and mails stowed, and the doors closed, the engines‘ quiet hum rose to a mufâ€" fled longâ€"drawn booming roar, and the machine began to roll, bumping gently and ponderously, out on to the ‘drome. Glynn, feeling they were now well on the way, began: "Now, Miss Seaman, how do you come to be making the trip back so soon. You told me...." "I just heard you were doing that over my section, Glynn," said the other. "Are you taking over the run somewhat further East?" "Not quite settled what I‘m doing," said Glynn. "I‘ll hear at t‘other end." He darted off and Glynn explainel to the pilot. "You heard, I suppose, I‘m shipping as a sort of extra spare supernumery pilot and making the trip right through?" ""Very good, sir," said the steward. "I have special orders to do everything I can that you ask on this trip, and pass the word along for the others to do the same. I‘ll see to it at once, sir." ' He made for the pilot who was speakin, to the liner‘s steward, but it was to the latter, and not to the pilot he spoke. "See Lere, Sam, I want you to fix something for me. See that man ard the girl going up the steps now? Well, I want you to put her in a seat beside me, and shove the man in some other seat. And another thingâ€"â€" there‘s a lanky looking Indian wearing heavy spectacles. Plant him in the: furthest off place you can. Fix that and I‘ll have some more to tell you iater." | "Max," smiled the other, "George Max! I‘m glad to know Missâ€"" he hesitated, and Glynn completed the inâ€" troduction, and.added hurriedly, "Exâ€" eilse me a moment. I want a worJ with our pilot. You gat aboard now, and I‘ll join you presently." "He‘s coming on this Mail too, Let ne introduce Captain Ellimanâ€"erâ€" I didn‘tâ€"I don‘t thinkâ€"" By now they had come to the ‘plane, and the other man turned, lifting his hat and saying, "I see you have found a friend, but if there is anything else I can do." He suddenly remembered the man she had been talking with and who now, although he had moved a little apart from thri, was still keeping pace. "Is he seein you off?" he asked in a low tone. "Shall I leave you now, and see you aboard later. Yes, I‘m coming too. Tell you about it presâ€" ently." s "I don‘t know him," she said in the same low tones. "Just one of the passengers I met a minute ago." "Not on this Air Mail?" he cried inâ€" ciedulously. "That would be too good be true." "Wh1 ?" she demanded. "Don‘t say you‘re piloting? No, you‘re not dressâ€" ed for that." "Yes, I know," she interrupted. "My fiends told me tkis morning you‘d left a message, but didn‘t say where I could ‘phone you.

With the development. of large urâ€" ban centres and increased demand for milk for fuid consumption ard for use in the marufacture of other dairy proâ€" ducts, the production of cheese deâ€" clined. Paralleling this development came improved means of transportaâ€" tion, better roads, and more suitable means of handling milk, the net effect of this combination of circumstances being increased competition and deâ€" clining volume of business for cheese factories. It has been difficult for operators of these cheese factories to cope with these changed conditions and thus compete with the users of milkk. The problems facing the cheese inâ€" dustry in Ontario toâ€"day are many, says the Economic Annalist, issued quarterly by the Agricultural Rconâ€" omics Sranch, Dominion Department of Agricuiture.
