The passengers stepped from the door of the liner on to the launch and made their way to seats in it.

In his hand he carried a O again after lunch, the boat flew steadily on but now with a steady head wind slowing down their speed a little, In the late afternoon they passâ€" ed over the coastline of Palestine, and just as the dusk was coming on with a the drizzle of rain, they slanted down to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, dropped cleanly on to the waters near the shore, and taxied in to where a launch was putting out to meet tlwm.‘ At the end of an hour he felt much better, and by the time the liner slid down and splashed into the water off Castelar‘so, on the coast of Asia Minor, and they went ashore for lunch at the Airways restâ€"house there, he was feeling quite all right again. He carried his dispatch case with him, but felt fairly safe with it since the place was staffed only with the company‘s people. . ; It was a pleasant sunny day again, and after Glynn had told something of the happenings of the night, makâ€" ing as light as possible of them, and after having a chat and repeated his thanks to the Eugger player, who wave his name as Jimmy Doyle, Glynn went forward to the pilot‘s cockpit and fot him to open th enclosing glass windows and "Blow the cobwebs out of his head." It was not until they were on board the linev again{and theâ€"was skimming racing over the water to lift and climb in a tong slant, that Glynn felt safe and secure again.

"Lie still and stop your kicking" said Glynn savageâ€" ly "Or I‘ll stop i. for good." But now the passengers, hotel porâ€" ters and odd passersâ€"by were crowdâ€" ing about the prostrate pair, eager hands were clutshing the prisoner and hauling him to his feet. Not until half a dozen had their hands firmly on him did the man who had seized him release his locked arms from the prisoner‘s legs. Glynn stooped and helped the man to his feetâ€"a short, stocky and sturdâ€" jly built youngster now grinning hapâ€" pily. "Did you get the bag?" he asked was rolling in the road just astern of the moving car. Glynn‘s first thought was for the bag. He leapt for it, grabbed it up, elutched and held by both arms to the ehest of anothe: man also sprawling en the pavement. The attacheâ€"case was rolling in the road just astern of his automatic was out from its armâ€" under holster. Put several of the pasâ€" gengers were between him and the man who was in the act of catching the bag, and as Glynn hesitated an instant, loking about him swiftly for the target he sough , he heard a yell, a heavy crash, and a yelping bowl. Dashing forward, he saw one man #prawled on his face a yard short of the moving car and with both his legs Glynn, realizing even as he fell what had happened, was on his feet again an instant after he was down, and CHAPTER VIIâ€"Cont‘d. An open car was swinging in at wa‘king pace to he curb, and as the case curved over the passengers‘ heads and dropped beyond them, another man was waiting for it, dashed forâ€" ward, caught it on the run as it fell, and jumped for the moving car.

(Glynn, by the special arrangements made all through, went to have his attacheâ€"case privately passed by Customs, but when he tried to open it found an unusual difficulty in fitâ€" ting the key to the locks, After fumbâ€" ling and trying in vain for some minâ€" vtes, suspicion woke in him, and he hurriedly burst the locks by force and flung open the case. Glynn stepped on to the launch, and turning to steady Norah following him, put his bag down by his feet, As h« did so, Stefan stooped, put his own bag beside Glynn‘s weich he picked up instead, and moved quietly off with} his prize. No more than a second or two later, Glynn picked up again the bag he thought was his, and found a seat for Norah and himself. In the dusk and rain nobody noticed Stefan, his movments covered by Max, cut a gash in the side of the case, thrust a hand in and finger the round film tin, push a weight in beside it and drop the case overboard. small attacheâ€"case almost concealed under the fold of the light macintosh he wore.

The duties of the Board, during the 36 years of its existence, have become greater each year as the mapping acâ€" tivities of the various Government de partments have increa;~d. About 30 maps a year come before the Board. Each of these maps bhas an average of 200 names to be examined and passa.omaklng a total of approximateâ€" ly 6 names. In addition a great number of inquiries from Government depaRments, libraries, societies, firms and private individuals, requesting inâ€" formation as to the authentic names of places and regarding the origin and meaning of placeâ€"names, are received. With regard to names of geographâ€" ical features along the International Boundary, or which cross the boundâ€" ary line, the Geographic Board of Canâ€" ada maintains a close coâ€"operation with the United States Geographic Board, in the adoption of names which are acceptable to both countries. All decisions in connection with geoâ€" phy in the Dominion rest with the Geographic Board oi Canada, which was established by the Dominion Govâ€" ernment in ‘$97. The Board consists of 20 members, 12 of whom are memâ€" bers of the Departments of the Dominion Government; the remaining eight are the members representing as many provinces. Quebec has its own board to deal with names in that proâ€" vince. The viewprints, comments, and suggestions o‘ the provincial re presentatives are obtained before any decision is arrived at regarding names which are open to question. _ When the Board reaches & decision the name is adopted and becomes official. â€"In a country s« large as Canada, with many areas which have been raâ€" pidly opened up, particularly as the result of rich mineral liscoveries, the selection and authorization of new placenames becomes a problem of some importance. Just how are these placeâ€"names finally decided upon? How Placeâ€"Names Are Decided "But can it be invaluable to any thief who has it?" asked the puzzled officer. Glynn told him briefly what tke film was and why it was urgent it should reach India, but he said nothâ€" irg of the duplicate copy in the cigarâ€" ette tin, It was clear that somehow or another, the Prince‘s enemies had got hold of his attacheâ€"case. There was the chance they might think it held the only copy of the film and make no further effort to molest him or to look‘ for another. "A small tin of cinema film," said (lynn. "Not worth shillings at any other time and place, but invaluable to me in India." The police officer who had been called in conferred with Glynn. "You say the contents of the case were valuable," said the officer. "What were they exactly?" l Hurriedly, Glynn examined it.
