A coupfo of miles of straightaâ€"way with a little â€" school house on the north side?t Well, sir, week last Wednesday 1 happened along ‘bout the middle of the afterâ€" noon, when I see a commotion up by the school, 1 was not long getting there, and, believo me, thero was trouble.

The provision of that duplicate attacheâ€"case proves it. It may easily have been known you were seleected to pilot the Prince‘s plane, and later to carry the film, ‘There was, therefore, an object in "Wait" said the Chief.* "Here are some of the facts 1 have gathered from you. You know nothing of Miss Seaman except that she offered you the opportunity of making your acquaintance at the Croydon ‘drome the day you were warned to stand by for special duaty." (Glynn sat and gaped at him in blank amazement for a moment, and then began to laugh, "You have known or suspected for rome time that there were some conâ€" eerned in these attempts . travelling with you?" asked the Chief "The men Stefan and Max and Dass for exâ€" ample. Did it ever occur to you that there might be anotherâ€"Miss Seaâ€" man?" The last questions were about Norah Seaman, how long he had known her and how he had first got to do so. and all this Glynn told straightforâ€" wardly changed the hotel, advised dining elsewhere and all the rest, _A good many questions and answers followed and these covered all the msjor inciâ€" dents of different attempts at robâ€" bery, such facts as Glynn could give awbout other passengers by the Air Mail, the wireless messages received, and other matters. Glynn did not see the drift or the meaning of some of the questions but he answered them «all fairly and honestly. But the inâ€" terpretation the Chief put on some of bhis answers staggered him.

"There was time to hand it back in the darkness after the attompt failed" Glynn was utterly bewildered. Not for one moment would he believe Noran implicated and working with his enemiesâ€"but he cculd see how the facts wonld imyress an outsiderâ€" especially as more and more of th.m mounted up. "She may have guessed, or even had a glimpse you were unaware of," was the answer. "Anyhow, it was unforâ€" tunateâ€"erâ€"erâ€"accident she made such a leading remark in the hearâ€" ing of Dass. And the next thing is that street row in Bagdad nearly reâ€" sulting in the case being cut off you." Wellâ€"I‘ll be secing you.

Norah had noticed his carrying binoculars in his pocket with a case for them on his shoulder and she had remarked laughingly on this, in the hearing of the Indian, Dass. the last paper just as fresh as the first. "Let us see" answered the Chietf, and went on to mention in sequence other facts Glynn had revealed in the apparently disconnected questions, i His leaving by the Air Mail had‘ been kept secret, but by another coinâ€" cidence Norah was travelling by it, she was walking and talking with Max approaching the liner a+ Croyâ€" don; and from the first she was evi. dently interested in the politics of | Napalata and asked a good many' questions about them.

He and one other had hastened away to take the evening train to But when Abdui Ali brocgnt the man and the maps, he was sont about some cther busine:s and only learned what the new plan was to bso after the railway man had gone to set about his work. The Vullure smiled again. "It is well. Send the man to me, snd also bring me what maps you can of the railway lice," "Sach a man is here under my hand,‘ said Aodul Ali eagerly. "He is to be trusted becuuse his life is forâ€" feit to the law If Le were given to it." "Peace, gaibler," snarled The Vulâ€" ture, "Have you any man who knows the working of the railway. ard can be trusted?" "So then assurealy all wiii be well," eried the sycophant fervently. "It was such direction of a master mind that was lacking, and nowâ€"" The Vuiture sat back on his cushâ€" ions, scowling and gnawing ai his nails. Gradually the scowl lightened and a cruel, crafty smile twitcbhed his lips, "Hardly fail!" he repeatedl bitterly. "Each new attempt could harcély fail, and yet has failed. But I have trust. ed too much to the wits of witless ones. Now I shall direct, ani they shall act," "It had already been â€" arrarged," said Abdul Ali, "that if the Courier could . ot be reached and the package secured in Karachi, four of sour best men should take the train with him from there and seek their cpportunâ€" ity, The journey takes the best part of a day and night, and in that time the four can hardly fail." | The news roused a fresh storm.

"To think those idiots had their very hands on the package, and failed to secure it" The Vuliure ranted on, "See tnat they are trought bere to: me. I‘ll make them answer for it. I‘ shallâ€"I shall...." and he described a few of the things he would have‘ done to the bunglers, "There may yet be time to retrieve the mistake," put in the Adviser humb‘!y, when he could get a word in edgeways. "Whereâ€" when*" demanded The Vulture bitterly. "He will leave by the train tonight, and be here toâ€" morrow." "It had already been â€" arrarged " The Prince‘s Vizier and Sccretary sent out word that the Prin:o‘s Procâ€" lamation film would be shown to the priests and as many as porsible of the people without fail nest evening, and spies in the palace quickly brought word to The Vulture. In the meantime two telephone messazeos had reached Napal&taâ€"one that raised rejoicings in the prlace of the Prince, and another that brought an outburst of raving and reviling in the household of the Vuliure. Both messages were to the same effect, that an attempted robbery of the Prince‘s Courier had been foiled at the last moment that he was safe, and had lost nothing, "I (en answer that bew‘ said Glynn walking straight over to her, "by asking a question I‘d meant to leave until after I had finished this business. _ Norab, will you marry me ?* Glynu waited for long and torturâ€" ing minutes until he was ca‘led in again to find Norah sitting very erect in her chair, looking puzzled, worried and a1gry.

Glynr would have stayed for all this c:her interview, but tho Chief was firm and finally silenced Glynn‘s objections by pointing out that if Norah were as innocent as he telievâ€" ed he could have no objection to her being allowed to prove it, and she would have ample opportunity to do. "We must leave it at that for the moment then," said the Chief triskly. "And row I‘ll ask you to wait in anâ€" other ioom for a little while 1 have a talk w.th Miss Seaman." Glynn could only protest but this he did vigorously enough, al‘hough he poqld not but admit that if the girl "Dil Miss Seaman know you had taken that extra precaution?‘ asked the Chief, and when Glynn «a‘d "No," he adaed: "Which explairs why she would still suppose the key would work." not had the quick wits to shout an« direct my officer with his torch tc him the key would have unlocked the ease in another imoment and you woull have been rcbhbed."

Gold dividends made up 67 per cent. of the 1933 total paid by all mines, and 74 per cent. of that paid by metal mines. ‘The aggregate total of divi. dends paid in 1933 was approximateâ€" ly 13.6 per cent, of the va‘ue of the mineral output for the year.
