They are taken into the house and when Frank regains consciousness he finds DOROTHY ELLINGTON, the professor‘s pretty daughter, bending over him. s + As it happens, the profesor and his daughter are sailing on the same boat, and as Profesor Ellington is keenly interested in motoring, they lsok forâ€" ward to an ‘enjoyable voyaze. Fortunately,, n6 â€"bones have > been broken, and beth the men will be ready to sail in a few days time to Africa, where they are taking part in . the The professor‘s mission is the invesâ€" tigation of an important anthropologiâ€" cal discovery made by his assistant, RUPERT FEATHERSTONE, who has been there for two years digging. Frank finds something very distasteâ€" ful in the engzagement, for although the couple had been separated for two years they did not appear to be considering each other in the way a loving couple might. There appeared to be too much of the "scientific‘ about the affair, each of them having destroyed the photos they had of each other, retaining only what were termed "mental images." {Now.read on!) ; The Professor Ponders Too When Rupert Featherstone had first appeared on the professor‘s horizon the older man had been attracted to him..

And, he was sadly admitting obcut ‘he time when Rupert appeared on the scene, he had carried out his parental duties in an extremely hazy, sketchy, though good natured ard wellâ€"intenâ€" tioned way.

It was, therefore, ‘with some pleasure that he noted a certain warmthâ€"or the nearest that his new assistant could get to warmthâ€"in ysung Rupert‘s attitudse towards Dorothy. He gave the projected union, when in due course their relationship blossomed into that, his enthusiastic blessing. It occurred to him that, just as Ruâ€" pert was the perfect counterâ€"balance to his own erratic genius, so ‘he might prove a very good influence on Dorothy. Only Rupert had begun to prove too aacshed strOng' an influence. His strong point was the schooling of his emotions and he began to teach Dorothy to school her emotions. The professor‘s dim suspicions that all was not working out according to plan were crystallized when the controversy with his old enemy wYJackson, long aâ€" smculdering, burst into open flame, and it became necessary for him to cruth that crabbed reacticonary with some convincing wproof of the soundness of PHONE 117 PHONE 725 PHONE 393 his tempeéer (which the professor No Baggage Checked. admitting obcut appeared on the out his parental | He suggested that Rupert go out to !Africa and make certain investigations on his behalf; never doubting that love ‘would protest most violently : against lhis separation, and demand wedding i-bells before skull huntings. ; But his own suggesticn that this ‘should be the procedure, tentatively !advan-ced. was decisively rejected.

But this had swiftly palled. A little song and dan:»e about the house would have pleased him more. But in Rupert‘s rational scheme of things, sonz and dance were ruthlessly ruled out as cutbursts of vulgar emotion. There could be no doubt of it. Proâ€" fessor Ellington‘s first fine careless rapture over his efficient young assisâ€" tant and prospective sonâ€"inâ€"law had grown faint. Unfortunately, although Dorcthy never betrayed any emotion of any sort, and (under Rupert‘s tuiâ€" tion) would have regarded any demonâ€" stration of affection towards her absent fianzge as the worst of form, she seemed 'Lo be sticking to the fellow. It had flattered the professor at first to find his daughter taking a knowledgâ€" able interest in his work. Also in psyâ€" chology, economics, first aid, the causes Gloomily Professor Ellington thought of the yscung man upstairs. Fine, upâ€" standing chap, he decided. Probably knew nothing about the Pekin Man and would have cracked jokes about the missing link. But all the same . . . He rose. Stretched. Yawned. Put ou; the light. And went to bed, these half formed thoughts still gwirling restlessly in is brain. He had yet to meet Miss Christine Carter, who would give these thoughts form and send them flowing rapidly in a definite direction.

"How d‘you feel, guyâ€"nor?" asked Reddy anxiously. He was dressed in a pair of striped pyjamas much too large for him. His red thatch was tousled and he needed a shave. Frank grinned. "Right as rainâ€"Oot okay,. as Dr. Priestley would say." He looked round him. Sunshine filled the room. From the window he could see part of the well kept lawn and the trees at its foot. "And you?" "Fit as a fiddle!" said Reddy conâ€" fidently. "But where are we, guyâ€"nor?" He scratched his head. "I remember waking up to see a doctor chap. He gave me something to drink. Some sleeping draught, that was! We‘re still in the same year, aren‘t we? I feel as though I‘d done a Rip van Winkle!" Frank threw aside the bed clothes. "I‘m going to get dressed," he declared. "‘That‘s a good idea!" "Better hurry. up if you‘re going to do the same," said Frank.

"Andâ€"erâ€"the otiher gentleman, sir YÂ¥our mechanic, I understand?" ‘"That‘s right." "Will breakfast in the servants‘ hall sir," said Tomkins. "Oh, said Prank, slightly dashed. He was a democratic soul, and was used t3 sharing a sandwich and a beer with Reddy at whatever spot they might happen to find themselves. "Oh righto!" Tomkins retired. Ten minutes later they descended the <stairs together. Teomkins, the indefatigable, was waitâ€" ing for them. ‘"This way," he said, and beckoned distantly to Reddy. At the same moment Professor Ellingâ€" ton emerged from his study. * "Ah, there you are, both of you!" he exclaimed briskly. *"Well, come along, breakfast is readyâ€"and I‘m starved! Tomkins told me you were determined to get up. Don‘t blame you. It‘s a glorious morning." Reddy paused hesitantly., It was an embarrassing moment. The professor‘s eve fell on Tomkins. "All right, Tomkins, run along!" he barked. ‘"‘Hang it, I can conduct my own guests to breakfast, T hope! No need for you to trail them." They passed into the breakfast rcom. Frank was surprised to see that Doâ€" rothy was not present. The professor interpreted his look of inquiry. "Up at six," he said. "Cold bath, swedish exercises, long walk. There was a time," he went on morosely, "when I had to threaten to pour water over her head. To get her up, I mean. But Rupert""â€"he stabbed viciously at a piece of baconâ€"*"changed all that." He fixed Frank with a penetrating look. "My daughter," said Professor Ellingâ€" ton, looking at Frank, "should be reâ€" turning from herâ€"umâ€"Jaunt. If you‘d care to stroll down to the coppice, at the back of the house, you‘d probably meet her. .I‘m sure she‘d be delighted to show you round the place. . ." ""No, sir," said PFrank, rather taken aback. "Of course, my scientific knowlâ€" edge is a bit rustyâ€"haven‘t kept quite abreast of the latestâ€"" "She Talks Like a Book" "Yes," said the professor grimly. "The body thinks. And if you let it get slugâ€" gisch it thinks sluggish thoughts. Lets you down. Rupert says so. There canâ€" not be an Al1 brain in a C3 body. Ruâ€" pert says that too." "Carter, did you know that the body thinks?" "I 4don‘t know who this Professor Rupert is,"" said Reddy tactlessly. "I‘m sure he probably knows what he‘s talking about, far more than T do. All the same, I‘m entitled to my opinion, and speaking from experience T‘d say he‘s a bit of a crankâ€"ouch!" He looked reproachfully at Frank, who under the table had stamped him hard on the foot. But the professor was delighted. "Yes, yes," he said. "Go onâ€"er, Reddy, isn‘t it?" "Reddy it is, sir," said that worthy, and glared defiantly at his guyâ€"nor. "Well, as I was saying, I‘ve met a lot of these fellows on the race track who do complicated exercises and practise holding their breath for five minutes at a time, and are generally, they are fond of saying, trained to a hair. But all the, same they are just the chaps who crack up. It‘s the fellow whuo‘s calm, cool and ccllected without trying to be a blooming super athlete who keeps his head and pulls through. "You see, sir, the way I figure it, the normal man retains his initiative; the other fellow is so tied up with rules and regulations that he can‘t trust himâ€" self to act without really thinking at all, and at the same time act right." He Reddy drew a deep breath after this long speech, and the professor beamed upon lhim. "I quite agree! Just what I‘ve always said myself." From that moment the professor and the mechanic were almost soul mates. And when breakfast was over Ellingâ€" ton suggested that Reddy might care to have a look at that prehistoric monster which the professor called a car. ‘"Thanks. I would," said Frank. ‘"But really, we can‘t impose ourselves on you any longer sir .â€".>.>" "Nonsense!" said Ellington vigorously. "Stay as long as you like.

At the back of the house a path ran gently daownhill to a wood and a stream. Frank followed it thoughtfully. A rustic bridge crossed the stream. A girl was perched on the wooden rail, looking down at the water. "Gooi morning," said Frank. "Good morning!" said Dorothy Elâ€" lington, and smiled in friendly fashion Then she stopped smiling and frowned. "But you shouldn‘t be up.
