alone, but ° of any kind CHAPTER XXII STANDISH A CASUALTY As the fastâ€"driven car loomed op» posite him, appearing as a phantom of the nerveâ€"ridden darkness, Tiger Standish leapt like a gymnast performâ€" ing some phenominal feat, and landed on the running board. He had to act quickly, for every ond counted. "Open that door!" he said sharply to the chauffeur, "and keep your hands away from your clothesâ€"at the first suspicious sign I shall shoot! Rememâ€" ber that!" "Be pleased to alight," the masked man said. "Quick,. Benny, into the. car and like Hades. Here‘s the stuff . . .!" His voice becoming faint through loss of blood. Standish pushed the leaâ€" ther satchel which he had to break off by force from the wrist of the Ronâ€" stadtian envoy. once the latter had desmended into the country road across to his servant. Bannister protested. "But I can‘t leave you ‘ere, guy‘norâ€" those swine ‘ave plugged you . . Why, you may die!" ed The man hesitated, but a sharp prod from the revolver forced his into action. With a philosophic shrug, he opened the main rightâ€"hand door of the car. RBenny bit his lower lip until the blood came. He was faced with a far greater probléem than in his wildest imaginings he would ever have thought possible; he had to decide between doing what was his obvious duty to the State Deâ€" partment for which his master had performed his last service and leaving the man he loved to the vengeance of relontless: enemies. He groaned as he picked up the leather satchel, and, bending double, began to run toward the concealed car which was to take him back to London and Sir Harker Bellamyâ€"whom now, he felt, he could have killed without the slightest hesitâ€" ation or scruple, â€"~"Do what I say . . and be quick . .. they‘re ‘ here.... . now . , ..‘ The voice failed, the speaker collapsâ€" The last couple of hours had been like the disordered workings of some preposterous dream; life had outstripâ€" ped the cinema. At seven o‘clock Tiger had telephonâ€" ed. as arranged ,and told him where to be with the car. The drive to this loneâ€" ly part of the Essex coast had been a silent one: scarcely a dozen words had been exchanged between them. But Benny was content; he knew that Tiger had done the first part of the terribly difficult jcob he had been given, and that they were now on their way to do the second.. Together! That knowâ€" ledge made him proud. Criticize his master for continuing to work for Sir Harker he might, yet once the task was started, he, like Standish, never looked back. Tiger, for once had not given his henchman his full confidence. Benny Tickets to US.

The last sound that beat upon Standish‘s consciousness was the rapid throb of the car‘s engine gradually fading away on the night air. Then, with a smile on his faceâ€"for the job bad been practically doneâ€"he felt cblivion stealing over him like refreshâ€" ing sleep. He forgot the pain in his chest; he forgot everything but that one essential fact. It had come now! A couple of minutes before, Standish, running hard, had dropped to his side beneath the hedge, fchHowing the sound of a revolver zshot. * "You‘re ‘"it, guvy‘ner!‘" he had cried "Is it bad?" "I don‘t know, Benny," the reply had ecme, "but the swine are after me!" Then had followed the words which had contained so much urgency. ner?" ‘The Ronstadtian lowered his hateâ€" convulsed face. "How much do you know?" he roared. "Tell meâ€"or I‘l]l tear every inch of skin off your body wth these hands!" He raised his fists. Standish, although feeling like a good imitation of Death itself, tried to force a characteristic retort. _ "Why, it‘s my old friend, Greisner," he said feebly. "How are you Greisâ€" CHAPTPR XXIV TOO MANY ENEMIES He awoke to find himself being stared at by a number of men, all of whom he knew to be enemies, Greismer was the first to speak. His voice was hoarse with hate and strained with passion. to you? You came here the other day of your own freeâ€"will, but now you are here by imy orders . . . My orders!" he repeated, turning to stare belligerâ€" ently into the face of a man Standish was just able to recognizeâ€"his vision was very blurredâ€"as his other enemy, Carlimero. "You still think you can play the fool then, you swineâ€"dog!‘ he snarled: "well let me tell you, you cursed British spy, that you have played the fool for the last time. You are in the Ronstadtian Emkassyâ€"does that convey anything "I do seem to be in luck," returned the prisoner, making another courageâ€" ous attempt to rally himself; "all my old pals together . . . How are you, Carlimero?" He saw the Caronian‘s face gleam. "You take too much on yourself, Greisner," the Military Attache said before the man he addressed could reply to Standish. "You appear to forâ€" get that my country is vitally concerned in this new secret plan of Kuhnreich." Greisner brushed him aside. "TI‘l]l deal with you later," he retorted crudely;: "Your country is merely a puppy led on a string. No Baggage Checked pleasure at receiving letters from home, Pte. Beaudin says:â€"*"I saw a piece in lthe paper where you had a fellow in court for saying a guy‘s a fool to enlist. Give them hell, dad, that‘s the way. . . We guys over here don‘t know what to do with ourselves just at present. One thing I would advise anyone to do is to get in the militia. It may come in nandy if they are called up . . . The lair force is sure raising hell with the Huns over here. Toâ€"day we had two \airâ€"raid warningsâ€"one this morning |and one just before supper. I heard ‘the Hun fiying over this morning.

But it was too late; before he could be stopped, before even a! restraining hand was lifted. Greisner| had snatched a revolver from A nea.rbyl table and had shot Carlimero through the heart. ‘ "Barbarian!" he cried. "I will teach you that you cannot insult Caronia with impunity!" "Take that offal away!" he ordered. "Later we will send a message to Brasâ€" siano saying he died from a sudden heart attack! . . . And now, Standish," Greisner resumed, after the brief pause during which his command was carâ€" ried out, "I will attend to you!" "It was clever, I admit, to manage that burglary at my flat so neatly; that was how you got to know about «toâ€" night, I suppose?" "If you would be kind enough to let me have a little brandy, T‘ll e pleased to answer." Thought of his wife forced him to make the request; with the death of Carlimeroâ€"regréttable as that nad beenâ€"one at least of his enemies had been removed.. With returning strength, hope began to stir in him again. "Let him have it!" curtly replied Greisner, signalling to oneâ€" of the other men. "To be fair, Greisner, not very much of the creditâ€"if it can be called ‘credâ€" it‘â€"attached to this night‘s business (I am speaking from my country‘s point of view now, of course, not yours), is due to me. You see we have wind â€"oh, never mind how!â€"â€"-t:hat your Kuhnreich contemplated _ something especially drastic several days ago; I was merely told to look into it from this end. Now do you underetand?" "I understand too well, swineâ€"dog! But you have done your last piece of spying!" "The only appreciation you will get from me isâ€"this!" was the reply. Greisner raised the revolver with which he had already killed one man that night. "Dear me, that‘s too bad," was the comment: "IL didn‘t expect any bouâ€" quets of course, but I should have thought you might have given me aA word of appreciation as from A felâ€" low craftsman."

Fires were started at various points in the city, including a huge warsâ€" house and a stable a few blocks north of Unter Den Linden, municipal buildâ€" ings in the Weisensee suburb in Northâ€" eastern Berlin, the old criminal courts building in the centre of the city, a store house and police station in the diplematic quarters a few blocks southâ€" west of Unter Demn Linden, and a radio factory and dwellings in the Wedding District in Nortii Berlin. Barrage kalloons were raised in some sections for the first time. An incendiary bomb set fire to the old Moabit Court House, scene of many a famous trial, including that of the Evangelical Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemoeller. Royal Air Force Bombs Berlin With Much Damage Done Prisoners awaiting investigation fourd safeéty in a cellar, but an officer was killed ‘by a falling wall. A Goctor and one other were injured. In another part of the city, two bombs fell 40 yards apart, in a street in a workers‘ residential area, killing a workman and injuring seven others and blasting out a section of the street 2ear line. Military Targets A tour of the city showed that bombs had struck near legitimate miliâ€" tary objectives at most points. Across the street from the criminal courts building is a great military barracks. A bomb struck the Tegel railroad station in northern Berlin, not far from the Borsig arms factory. One was killâ€" ed and 10 were wounded when a bomb struck near an automobile chassis plant. It was admitted that one searchlight of a ‘battery had been destroyed at Brandenkurg, 55 miles west southwest of Berlin, where a number of soldxexs were kiled and injured. The raid was the noisiest and most dramatic yet. Heavy antiâ€"airecraft gun fire started immediately after the first alarm. Flashes of heavy batteries lighted the sky to the west, north and east. About 15 minutes later, the hum of airplane motors was distinctly audâ€" ible. British planes had ‘begun to cruise over the city.. The planes dropped dozens of paraâ€" chute flares. One dropped direct over the United Press building in Unter Den Linden, the centre of the city. The Wilhelmstrasse and Adoiph Htâ€" ler‘s ornate chancellory, situated on it, must have been visible to the fiyers, in the blueâ€"white glare. It was evident that the planes were fiying back and forth across the city on the same paths. % planes seemed to be disregarding enâ€" tirely the heavy fire from the ground. One plane dropped a string of paraâ€" chute flares across the centre of the city from west to east,, cirecled and dropped another series farther south from east to west. Elude Lights Daringly, the planes came down to about 3,.000 feet. but not once were they picked up by searchlights. The British As soon as a flare dropped, guns blazed into furious action, trying to shoot them down. Pomâ€"pom and maâ€" chine guns joined in the fire, unavailâ€" ingly. After an hour and a half reddish glow began to appear in the northern and northeastern sky. Two fires, it could be seen, were put out quickly. A third burned for two hours. Several times, it was observed from the United Press Building, as soon as a flare would go out a British plane would return to the spot and drop anâ€" other at almost exactly the same point despite deafening ground fire. Windows rattled and buildings tremâ€" bled in the din of gun fire. The attack on Berlin was part of a general raid on Germany in which Royal Air Force bombers have crossed the Netherlands border in waves, some going into the industrial Ruhr and others continuing eastward to Berlin.

MD ' You may be sending a youngster to school for the first time and are surprised, perhaps annoyed, when you receive a report from the school physicâ€" lan and Gdentist ‘that various defects have been foundâ€"adenoids, infected tonsils, some cavitiese in the teeth or even a foot*infoction. There may also be a notice that there is a curvature of the spine that si0ould receive attenâ€" tion. *A Now your first reaction should be one of gratitude that a competent physicâ€" ian and dentist have been : employed to safeguard the health of your child; and that of the taxes collected for street, road, and other community imâ€" provements it has been thought adlâ€" visable to use some of the money to "improve" the health and physiqgue of a more precious assetâ€"the children‘s health. Your first duty therefore is to have your youngster overhauled by the famâ€" ily physician and dentist. If funds are Iow, the school authorities will see that the youngster gets the medical, surgicâ€" al or dental attention necessary. There are some parents who object to having their yvoungsters‘ clothing removed â€" during the examination. While this can be understood to some extent in the case of little girls, it is hard ~to unrderstand why parents should not allow a boy to remove his clothes for examination just as he would to go swimming or bathing. | If parents could realize that the reâ€" moval of «the clothing enables the physician to see whether or not the spine is straight, the shape of the chest (perhaps not getting sufficient width in propartion to depthâ€"an imâ€" mature or baby chest), they: would certainly not object to the removal of the clothing. ‘ | Further , a proper or complete examâ€" ination of the chestâ€"heart and lungsâ€" cannot be made without the. removal of all the clothing on ‘the upper part of the body. A spine just beginning to curve, a heart that needs play or exâ€" ercise, an early or beginning . tuberâ€" culosis, cannct always be detected unâ€" less the clothing is removed. Should any of these go parâ€" ent is. to blame. I therefore believe it is only fair. to the school health authoritiee that thoughtless parents should be remindâ€" ed of their duty to their children at this critical age.

Association Speaks at Meeting Here To the underwriter of life insurance must go the credit for the erection of the huge insurance structure we have in the Dominion teday, said Mr. Mcâ€" Phail. He said that there was six and a half billion dollars worth of insurâ€" ance in force today and three billion of a@ollars worth of assets. In nearly a million homes insurance touched the lives of over 4, 000,00 people. Insurance, said the speaker, was the art of teaching people to save, without insurance there would be far more widows, orphans and Gdestitute old people in the «country. Speaking of insurance companies‘ contributions to the war effort, Mr. Mcâ€" Phail said that to begin wilti many acâ€" tive projerous young underwriters red to the work being done by the had gone overseas and many would continue to go.

Dollars saved in life insurance were invested in the nation itself, Mr. Mcâ€" Phail said. There were insurance dolâ€" lars invested in the bonds of the Domâ€" inion of Canada, of the provinces and cf the towns and cities in Canada. They were invested in university‘s and schools and in every activity in which dollars were needed to keep the wheels of industry and transportation turning. One way of safeguarding a democâ€" racy was to make certain that its finâ€" ancial structure was sound. Insurance tended â€"to make â€"that more certain inâ€" asmuch as it saved money for the peopleâ€"money which at later dates would help to ward off poverty and unemployment.

It should be a scurce of satisfaction to life inâ€" strance underwriters to know that their efforts were directed towards avoidanco 0of that sort of thing. Mr. McPhail spoke at some length about the Association. It was, he said, formed ~some years ago as a means of eliminating some of the unethical practices rampant in insurance then. It was a common thing, for example, for a prospect to expect a rebate on his first year‘s premium.. If he did not get it from one agent he went to another, Such practice now was against the law. The Association‘s educational proâ€" gramme tended to cut down on the number of insurance agents and fitted those who remained to sell with inâ€" surance knowledge and, incidentally, to make themselves mors money, Mr. McPhail emphasized.
