He sai up, with a pain like a bullet througk his head but passing as quickâ€" ly. He crawled out of bed thinking *Am I ill? Is it ‘flu? What is it?" A wave of pains hit him. What time was it . . . he was due for dawn patrol . . . No, for the pilot‘s place in the Air Mail. That cleared his mind. He was bound out as passenger on the Air Mail for India,. He looked at his vwatch,. Six o‘clock, and he was to have been called at six. He lifted the telephone by his bedside. No He woke with a slow heaviness unâ€" usual to him, dimly remembered he had dreamed (which was also unâ€" usual to him) and discovered that he had a splitting headache (which was most unusual of all), and a feeling that he was going to be sick (which was not only unusual, but entirely novel). He rolled into bed and was asleep within seconds of his bhead touching the pillow. He remembered, after, that he had a disturbed dream of being br.ried alive, of knowing people were moving and whispering about him, and of his desperate but futile efforts to make a sound or a moveâ€" ment. ‘ Glynn, before turning into bed, ocked the door, and shot a small but »ficient brass bolt above it. He autoâ€" matically "tried" the hold of the lock and bolt by turning the handle and giving a good heave or two on itâ€" and after that night never failed to ‘try" a locked and boited door withâ€" out testing the hold of each sepâ€" arately. When they go. to the hotel where rnecommeodation had been reserved in the usual way, Glynn, having planned with Norah (at her suggestion, as he remembered later) that they should make the most of their sightâ€"seeing opportunities together, did not wait to have the dinner provided for pasâ€" sengers, but after seeing his room and his bag brought up to it, went bown to the loinge to wait Norah there. He carried his despatch case, and in it the two copies of the film, and deposited this in the hotel safe; receiving in return a form of receipt which had to be presented when he eclaimed his property. This he arefully pocketed. Then Norah came down, and the ‘wo went off to have dinner together m some special place Glynn wanted io show her and to do their sightâ€" seeing. They returned at rather a late hour, ‘onsidering they were due for an »arly start by the flying liner in the worning, and departed to their sevâ€" ral rooms. At Croydon aerodrom«, Glynn Elliâ€" man, plilot of the Indian Air Mail Liner, meers Norah Seaman. At the last moâ€" mer.t, Glynn is ordered to stand by for a« special job. Prince of Napatala is in haste to return to Incia, where his father has died. He must be present to claim the throne, which his halfâ€" brother, "The Vulture," plots to selze. Glynn gets instructions to fy a new machine to London from the factory for the Prince‘s use, but the doctors declare the Prince too ill to fily. As a last resort the Prince has a short alkâ€" Ing flm made of himself reading the l'roclsmsmm of Inheritance. Travelling by the ordinary air route with the films carefully concealed, Glynn meets Norah Feaman, who is hurrying back to her wick father in India. They renew their ascquaintance. questions from others near that he found himself delivering a sort of spasmodic lecturette on the sights. "We‘re early," said Glynn, as the bwat slid gently to a stop and the drone of the engines dropped to silence, "so we‘ll have plenty of time to have a look round and see the sights. They‘re well worth it, too." CHAPTER VIl.â€"(Cont‘d.) Glynn who knew all sections of the route, and had always been keen to learn about the interesting places along them, started by explaining to Norah, but was so showered with wow GO ON WITEHE THE STOoRY The Flying Courier by Boyd Cabie It did not take long to discover how the door had been forced. Glynn picked up the socket plate for the bolt, and one after another of the I with you‘d have him sent up. I must have been doped, and I feel like death still." "No, and not likely to again," said Glynn grimly. "They were after my case, and very nearly got it," he exâ€" plained to the manager,. "Come to my room and I‘ll show you how they got in. And if you can find a doetor The porter was looking about the almost empty lounge. "Your friend went and sat down over there near the door to wait for the manager," he explained. "But I don‘t see him The manager looked astonished. "But how could the porter," he began. "Of course not sir," replied the man guessing at the rect of the sentence. "Here is the receipt the gentleman gave me, but I said only you had the keys of the safe and he must wait until you came." "What?" almost shouted Glynn. "You didn‘t give it? You have it still?" a man got it halfâ€"anâ€"hour ago, preâ€" renting the receipt and saying I‘d sent .im for the packet." Glynn groaned. "What‘s the matâ€" ter, sir," asked the porter, in some concern. "You don‘t look well, sir. Ah, here is the manager at last." Glynn turned to the approaching manager. "I have been robbed," he said quickly. "My room door was foreed last night and the receipt for my deposit stolen. The porter says "Yes, sir," said the porter in slightâ€" ly surprised tones. "I thought you were out sir, halfâ€"anâ€"hour ago. Your friend said so when he brought the receipt for the packet and said he‘d called to get it to take to you." "My name‘s Elliman," Glynn gaspâ€" ed. "Number ten room. I left a packet in the safe last nigh‘." His first thought was of relief that he had put both films in the hotel safe, and that the attache case containing them would not be handed over until he presented the receipt he had been given on depositing them. Then a horrible thought struck him like a blow. The receiptâ€"his attacheâ€"case would be given to anyone presenting the receipt. He jumped for his jacket, snatched out his pocket book and opened it. The receipt was gone. Next instant he was out into the corridor and running down to the lobby and the head porter‘s desk. A few of the early rising visitors stared at him as he dasheu past, but he gave no thought to them, rushed to the little counter where the head porter, in goldâ€"laced uniform, was busy sortâ€" ing letters into their pigeonâ€"holes. twist the key from outside with a pair of strong longâ€"nosed pliers, Sudâ€" den‘y he recalle} his dream of lying helpiass while people moved about But in the act of turning the key, he stopped, staring hard at the brass bolt above the lock. The bolt was still shot, as he had left itâ€"but shot into nothing. The metal socket plate into which it should have slid was gone, only the empty screwâ€"holes reâ€" maining to show where it had been fastened. He glanced down and round the floor, and there lay the boltâ€" plate where it had fallen on being forced off. The door was still locked, but he knew that it was a simple matter to answer, He joggled the switch arm, listened impatiently, but again heard nothing. He cursed heartily, turned to the electric bell and pressed it hard and long. In anticipation of the arâ€" rival of chambermaid or boots, he flung on the coat that served him as bathrobe or waterproof, went to the door to unlock it. When these are ‘ ripe" the grub can be squeezed out, and eventually they will come out anyway. They fall on the ground and develop into the heel or warble fly ready to mate and lay another lot of eggs. ® The Warble Fly is not a new comer, He has been with us a long time, but the heel fly is a comparatively new settler, Wher the latter gets near to a herd of grazing cattle there is a wild stampede round the field. Careful obâ€" rervers tell us that the heel fly does not bite or sting the cattie. Then why _ The heel fly and the slightly differâ€" ent warble fly have a strange life hisâ€" tory. They lay their eggs on the hair of the cattle in early summer, and the resultant tiny worm works his way into the hide, and upwards toward the gullet. Later on it begins another pilgrimage, this time upward from the digestive tract to the animal‘s back, eating through the tissues. When it reaches the hide it punctures a hole, and then develops into a grub of considerable size. Lumps will be found on the cattle‘s back back larger than thimbles. We have seen animals with upwards of a hundred grubs in What we do not know is the loss that one can well imagine must result from the suffering of animals whose bicks are literally plastered with "grubs" in spring. There is a cerâ€" tain amount of pus in each grub hole. The system must absorb this poison and one can well imagine that there must be a co.siderable loss of gain or production from this cause alone. _ On the Farm:â€"It does seem strange to be thinking of the heel fly that causes such panic among our herds in the summer months during these cold days and yet in many parts of rural Ontario farmers were discussing this very subject during the past month. The heel fly, and his cousin the warble fly, are costing Ontario farmers a huge sum of money. It is hard to even make a fair estimate of what they do cost us. We know that the fly has been prarticularly bad. We know that fattening stock does not gain so well when the fly chases them round the field every once in a while. We know there is a terrific loss in the punctured hides caused by these two pests in one stage of their life cycle. Wage War on Warble Fly During March, April and May Oxford, Huron and Middlesex Counties Plan Wholesale Cleanâ€"Up On Costly Little Pest He and Norah walked down the hotel steps together, with others of the passengers making for the motors that were to take them to the emâ€" barkation place. But as the two were halfâ€"way across the pavement, Norah cried out sharply, and at the same time,a man‘s shoulder charged with batteringâ€"ram force into Glynn‘s back, sending him stumbling and sprawling forward on his face. Inâ€" vcluntarily he released his hold on his bag, and in his own room with the door locked and a porter waiting him outside it, he transferred the one film in its cigarette tin back into his binocular case, .lung that over his shoulder so that the case hung under his right arm, and slipped the binâ€" oculars in his pocket. Then, carryâ€" ing the attacheâ€"case with the one film, and with the porter on his heels, he went down to the lobby again. Norah exclaimed aloud at sight of him, and he admitted that he was not feeling his best. "Had a bad night," he said, "and a worse jolt this mornâ€" ing. But I‘ll tell you all about it on the boat presently." He was right. Glynn was very much better when it came to the time to leave the hotel and go aboard the flying boat liner, but he was still feelâ€" ing heavy and heady. He had got "I‘ll serd something up to you," said the doctor briskly, "It‘ll pick you up a bit, but you‘ll probably feel a bit groggy for a few hours." "Another hour," repeated Glynn, "and by then my attacheâ€"case would have gone." He explained briefly what had hapâ€" pened, and after an examination, the doctor confirmed that he had been under some drug, and a heavy dose of it, "You were lucky to come out of it so scon," he commented. "From the state of your heart and pulse, I‘d have expecte(f you to sleep another hour at least. Strong constitution evidently." "Not knowingly," said Glynn, with his mind back on that warning about the Indian expert in drugs. "But perhaps my visitors arranged that I inhaled something to keep me asleep." "They didn‘t find what they . were looking for, and perhaps thought I‘d taken it out with me. They unscrewâ€" ed the bolt socket, filed off all but a thread of each screw, and pressed tkem back into place. The slightest steady pressure would draw them out of their flimsy hold. They searched, found no bag because it was in your safe, fortunately, but the receipt for it would tell them where it was. They just missed gettir, it." Here the doctor arrived and introâ€" duced himself. He stood for a moâ€" ment sniffing the air. "Strange scent ofâ€"I‘m not sureâ€"some sort of smoke, You don‘t smoke opium or hashish or anything of the sort?" he asked. * screws that should have held it. They‘ onlyh.dtheirluuhandgthrudo:‘ so of screw to eath. This is one of the most useful camâ€" paigns the Department of Agriculture has ever undertaken. Dr. Stevenson hes been at it for quite a few years now and it is gratifying to see that his efforts are beginning to have results. It is to be sincerely hoped that the campaign will not be dropped just when results will be beginning to lbo;.dmtilwhthuhmdto sev good schemes sponsored by the Department of Agricuiture, The heel fly is a costly little pest. Much as we dislike government reguâ€" lations which in the past few years have been increasing too fast, the time seems to have come when it should be made compulsory to treat all cattle in the province against the heel and warble fiy, Unfortunately there is not much gained by the individual farmer treatâ€" ing his stock. A whole community must undertake ine work if worth while results are to be obtained, and that it why farmers in many portions of Ontario have been discussing the heel fly on below zero February days. Sixty thousand head are to be treated in Oxford County this spring. Eighty thousand head in Huron, and five townships i1 Middlesex plaen a cleanâ€"up. It is also said that two townships in Perth will make a start. We cannot too highly recommend this effort. _ There is only one reason why the keel fly continues to plague our catâ€" tle, and that is indifference on the part of the farmer. The Danish farmâ€" er has practic..lly exterminated this pest. Coming closer home farmers on Manitoulin Islan 1 have greatly reducâ€" ed its numbers. There is a solution on the market which if properly apâ€" plied in March, April and May, will kill the grubs in the esttle‘s back, and there is no excuse for not using it. Five cents‘ worth will suffice for the three treatments per Animal. to act in the very same way as the older ones? Cattle when driven fast by a dog for instance do not raise their tails; but when the heel fly comes the tails go straight up in the air. the fear?

This is Mrs, R. F. McWilfiams, Winnipeg‘s woâ€" man alderman, who has another side to her life than that apparent on the platform &nd the council chamber. Mrs, Victor Phillips of Dauphin, whose husband is a honey producer on & large scale, was one of the speakers,. .Mrs, Phillips has experiâ€" mented with honey in her own home for making and preserving and for general use until she has practically banished the sugar bowl from â€" her family‘s table. During this last year for & family of four, Mrs. Phillips has used 600 pounds of honey. Women in the country andg in the city have proved that boney is a Manitoba product whose uses have only begun to be explored. Canning, preserving, pickling and baking are now being done with honey instead of sugar. _ Sugar, furthermore, has to be bought, but the honey may be homeâ€"produced, Honey is "in the news" this spring in much the same way that tomatoes were last fall, When the Beekeepers‘ convention was held in Winnipeg the importance of honey to Manitoba housewives was amply set forth. Manitoba Housewives Experiâ€" ment Wth Home Proâ€" duct as Sweetener the attacheâ€"case to throw his hands forward and break his fall, and as he did so, a man snatched the case from his hand, and without a pause, tossed it over the heads of several of the passengers between him and the curb just beyond the waiting motor.

Cases have occurred where a Chinaman has had his fare paid by his own people all the way from Vancouver to Haliâ€" fax. All this is surely highly creditâ€" able to the Chinan en within Canada‘s borders.
