Racul took a lock round and imâ€" mediately spotted six or seven burly forms which were unmistakably those of policemen in mufti. He moved close to the inspector, facing him,so that Gorgeret could not catch the attention of his men. "And are vyvou?" Arrivals continued to pour in.

But Raoul continued to gaze in amazement at that golden hair, and at the graceful movements of the danâ€" cer. She danced very quietly at first, keeping her body extremely still. Then she danced twice round the stage on the toes of her bare feet. "I‘say! Look at Big Paul‘s face!" whispered Gorgeret suddenly. For a moment she held a graceful ballet pose. Her face was masked by a fold of very fine golden gauze, from beâ€" neath which escaped soft golden curls. "Good Lord!" exclaimed Raoul in an undertone. "What is it?" asked Gorgeret at his The guests were getting nolsy. There was rowdy horseplay between them and a party of clowns. Suddenly an enormous poster in colours was placed on the cabaret stage. It showed a veiled dancer. At the same moment, a number of lighted slides anncunced: "The Masked Danâ€" cer."

While the items are all openly and frankly "takeâ€" offs" on the news of the day, they are so cleverly patterned after the items in some ‘"red hot" style of newspapers that if published in such columns they woulg be accepted as part of the usual run of news.

Sarcastic Comment on News Despatches of Day Raoul had feared that all the time. He was not sure whether the dancer was really Antonine, but Gorgeret would lose nothing by making sure, and if it proved to ‘be the girl, she would be caught between the police and Big Paul and her number would be up. Raoul started running. He felt frightened. Big Paul‘s threatening aspect warned him that if the man once got hold of Antonine, nothing could save her from his fury. Raoul and Courville slipped into the club again by the artistes‘ entrance. "Police,," Raoul told the doorman, showing him a card. He was allowed to pass. A passage and some stairs led him to the artistes‘ dressing room. At that mcoment the masked dancer came cut of one of the rooms. While the audience applauded, she had come out to pick up a big shawl for the second part of her performance. Lockâ€" ing her dressing room door, she slipped among the crowds of men in evening dress besieging the wings. Her return to the stage was greeted with frenzied clapping. Raoul could visualize the whole audience standing up and shoutâ€" ing their enthusiasm. "Yes," agreed Raoul, noticing Big Paul‘s movements. "He‘ll try to get her in the wings. You ought to staâ€" tion your men at the artistes‘ exit which prebably leads onto the side avenue:; they could get in that way it necessary." Gorgeret agreed, and hastened away. Three minutes later, while the inspecâ€" tor was rounding up his men, Raoul stole away. As he circled the Casino outside, forstalling the police, he enâ€" countered Courville who informed him: "I‘ve just overheard Gorgeret givâ€" ing orders to have you and the dancer arrested." "Big Paul seems to be on his wayl backstage," remarked Gorgeret, "I| imagine they allow anyone through." It seemed s2, for the wings could be ' reached right and left by steps at the head of which officials were wainly trying to stem the onrush Of the curiâ€" ous. himself. Yet how could it be so? How could that little ccuntry girl, the Marquis d‘FErlemont‘s daughter, passess such wonderful skill? How could she have found time since her return from Volâ€" nic to go home, dress and make up, and come to the Blue Casino? But all the arguments that Raoul brought up against the facts vanished in favor of his wild certairty. Of course it was just possible that the dancer was not Clara, but he felt now that it must Je. The masked dancer was gradually warming up to the music and to the Valthex‘s extraordinary emotion, and that impressed Raoul strongly. For Valthex knew, none better, Clara‘s talent as a dancer, Valthex had seen her dance before, on many stages and in many countries: he would not easiâ€" ly mistake that vision of youthful grac> that vision of dream and fantasy. It‘s she . . . I‘m certain,." Raoul told (TO BE CONTINUED) ild it be so? How could untry girl, the Marquis daughter, passess such 1?

A circle was formed for Campfire. A short skit entitled "No, No, A Thouâ€" sand Times No," was presented by some of the girls. In fact surgeons have learned from the great number of these cases that exist, just which ones are likely to wihstand the operation. Thus Dr. L. Seed, Chicago, in Western Journal of Obstetrics, Surgery and Gynecology, says, "An exopthalmic goitre can be ‘consid's-red a safe risk for operation: if it,he patient has undergone treatment with icdine for a sufficient length of time: if the weight loss is not excessive; if there is no recent weight loss, and particularly if there has been a gain of a few pounds; if the strength is sufficient for the patient to step on 4 lchair; if the basal metabolism rate {(the rate at which the body processes are working) is not more than 75 per cent above normal; if the patient has no swelling of hands, feet, or abdomen and can walk a block without being ishort of breath; if he is able to be !out of bed 3 or 4 hours daily; if he is | eating well and sleeping well; if the disease has not been present for many | years; if the patient is neither very old or very young; if there are no other complicating diseases." The new committee for the Guides cconsists of Mrs. McCoy, Maxwell and Mrs. McIinnis. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of "Evensong." The weekly meeting of the Timmizns Girl Guides was held on Friday evenâ€" ing. Inspection was taken by Lieuâ€" tenant Habib and the marks were read cut by Lieutenant Tilley. Horseshor was formed and the flag was raised by Joan Tessier assisted by Christine Brown and Doris Beaudin. Games were played. Captain Cranston took a group of the girls in Morse Code and Mrs. McIninis ‘ONE CENT A MILE School Report for E Coach Excursion South Lnd School News and Notes of Timmins Girl Guides (Registered in accordance with the copyright act.) The above description of what is conâ€" sidered a safe risk for operation for exopthalmic goitre can be readily unâ€" derstood by the patient. It will help him to realize that he is or is not ready for operation. If ready it will give him the necessary assurance or courage to undergo operation. If he is not ready it will tend to make him more patient and willing to rest and take other treatment considered necessary while he is wiiting to get into fit condition for operation. Sometimes the treatment consists of taking iodine one week in each month. In other cases the Xâ€"ray treatment has been of great help; in fact, when used over a prolonged period many cases have been cured, and there has been no need for operation. The definition of a case fit for operation will be approved by most surgeons. When a Goitre Case is Ready for Operation The results of operation for the severe form of goitre (Grave‘s disease or exopthalmic goitre) when the heart is rapid, there is a tremor throughout the body, buiging of the eyes, indigesâ€" tion and sleeplessness, is now so skillâ€" fully performed that there is not the fear of opsration that existed just a few years ago.
