The talk died to a deadly silence, and the leader drew close and asked harshly "What is this talk of The "Fools," cried Glynn scornfully, "Surely you know one man may give King‘s Evidence and earn pardon by bringing others to the Law. And even Jt that were not done, one of you can give the names to another outside yourselves who will tell the police and share the reward. And yet again, anâ€" #wer thisâ€"are not your names known to the one who bired you, and will The Vulture spare any man if their death will make his own neck safe?" Now he had fairly stirred them, and he could hear the hum and mur. mur of rapid talk amongst them, Again he caught enough of a sentence to answer itâ€"something about any man who sold the names knowing that the others would certainly give his name to the police, "How can it be known who of us is here tonight," he heard one man say loudly, as if answering another‘s argument. Glynn laughed loudly, "I am the Courier of the Prince," he ecried, "and an English officer, sahib. Big rewards, much money will be ofâ€" fered for the names of my murderers, One of you will sell the names of the others, and they will be brought to justice." Iish Raj, the Sirkar, will not rest un til satisfaction is given and punish. ment meted out," Some of them muttered amongst themselves, and Glynn fought desper. ately to press his thoughts on them.

"It will hold for an hour, and two minutes more will serve to finish here, Go, get away by the roof all, except you two. Try the hammer again, and strike hard." ‘ The raspâ€"rasp of the file went on steadily, and at last the man using it leaned back and said it should break now with a good hammer blow. But because the men did not know enough to put metal or something bard enough under the chain but struck at it against the wood of the bench, it only dinted into the wood and did not break. The man went back to work with the file. persuasion on them again, reminding them that in the past The Vulture had been safe and beyond _ punish. ment because his father, the Prince, lived; that now the Prince was gone, and a new Prince coming who would know how to reward those who helpâ€" ed his friends and bitterly punish those who robbed or injured them, The leader at last, fearing perbaps that such talk might have some ef. fect, struck him hard across the face‘ with a file and ordered him tc sil. ence, unless he would be gagged. ‘ =s, _ â€", ,___ CSamst those orders, He, }The Vulture, will give your necks to the hangman to save his own," This time hbe bad won. With an imâ€" mense thankfuiness he heard the talk break out again and caught sentences that proved his arguments admittedâ€" especially those that discredited The Vulture‘s good faith. The chatter end. ed with a curt order from the leader. "Bring the hammer and file," They tried first to break the lock; but it was a stoutly made brass one, and although they battered and flat. tened it with many blows, the hasp of it held, and indeed may have been closer gripped for the hammering. They set to work on the chain with a file, I "It has been printed in the papers, and the world knows," retorted Giynn, "that it is The Vuiture who desires what I carry, Who but he would pay men to plunder it? He will be aceus. ed,. not only of planning and paying for the robbery, but of hiring the murderers of an Englishman.

"They always wear more overblouses in the fall," is the comment made by the practical mindâ€" ed who see one season much like anâ€" other, But the fact that twoâ€"piece themes are so good for fall would seem to influence blouse and skirt arrangements in the direction of over. blouses rather than tuckâ€"ins, The «dressy models, as taffetas, moires, vel. vets with silk pique trims, will probâ€"| ably be worn as tuckâ€"ins. They are generally fitted up at the waistline so that they will look graceful above skirt waistbands. "So The Vuiture scored over me after all," he said and laughed weakly, tTo Be Continued,) When Glynn‘s aching head cleared enough to remember what bhad hapâ€" pened, the first thing he asked was about the filmâ€"had the case been opened, For answer they showed him the wreckage and remains of his film, twisted, cracked and battered. While some of the police held their prisoners huddled in a corner under their pistol muzzles, others ran to cut Glynn free and try to revive him, and to lift the dying man off the crumpled battered film, and gather it up. The leader‘s hammering stopped abâ€" ruptly, With a groan be straightened a moment, then the hammer dropped, and he collapsed in a heap on the battered film, with his blood spilling over it. The door gave with a rending crash, and the police tumbled crowding into the room, A man beside the leader fired two shots from a revolver, and in answer came a rapid banging of police pistols and the yells of woun. ded men, But there was no such leap of fire, The coils of films above the flame writhed and twisted slowly, sputtered _and smoked and blistered, but did not burn,. The man stared aghast, _ He had been told it would burn or even tumbled coils of film jumped back for more than inches were slowly melt. ing and charring. And the door was on the point of yielding, breaking an inch at a time from its hinges under each batteringâ€"ram blow. The film was of the "nonâ€"flam" fireproof type, With a fierce cry of rage, the man snatched up the hammer and fell to beating frenziedly at the coils of film taking handfuls of them, twisting: them bard like rope strands, knotting: them, battering them as fast as he! could lift the hammer and strike. He tossed the film in a wriggling heap on the floor. "The lamp," he cried. "The flame in it." He seized the cheap tin lamp, knocked the glass chimney off it, and pushing the smokâ€" ing flame into the middle of the tumbled coils of film umped back for it to roar up in an instant burst of sheeting flame. \ "It is the Prince," cried the man exultantly, as he saw a closeâ€"up of the Prince‘s face on one section, and then running the film through his fingers to another length again saw recog. nizable pictures of the Prince, _ Me snatched the chain through the hasps of the case, jerked open the lid, and shook out the cigarette case, This too, he snatched open, and the curling loops of film were in his hands. "The lamp," he cried. "Hold it close, that I may make sure the pictures are those we seek," While a man held close a little oil lamp, the leader held up a length of film to it and examined it closely, heedless of the clatter at the door and the cracking sounds of breaking panels as the wood gave un» der the raining blows," \ "I have it," shouted the leader above the din, "Hold the door until I destroy it, and the master will reâ€" ward you well." With a fierce cry of anger as he heard the polcie yell answers to this call, the leader snatched up a heavy cudgel and struck down on Glynn‘s head, He dropped with a thud on the bench, stunned and streaming blood, shouted the leader with his eyes on the filed link of the chain, "Again â€" darder!" The man struck again and Glynn felt the chain slacken round him. He beard the rush of feet desâ€" cending the sairs, and as the leader, with a cry of triumph, snatched the chain rasping from under him, Glynn yelled at the top of his voice, shouts in English and Hindustani to be quick â€"quick. _ Under the ordersâ€"of the le door of the room they wer shut, and the men set to wo! it and pile it against anytt would delay its opening. "It is givingâ€"another blow shouted the leader with his the filed link of the chain, " darder!" ‘The man struck a breaking in, would be on them at avy minute.
