"There issmy authority," retorted the late caller; "give that to Herr Greisâ€" ner.‘"‘â€" Heâ€"put a copper disc into the servant‘s hand. RAHUSEX TO THE RESCUE Outside the sideâ€"entrance to the Ron-f stadtion Embassy a caller whose cur- louslyâ€"rosy face was puckered ’ lines of anxiety, continued to argue with the servant who had been roused from his sleep, and was illâ€"tempered in consequence, "I tell you again it is impossible to | see any of the Embassy staff," the serâ€" j vant sa.ld "they are all in bed." Then I will a2e Herr Greisnerâ€"I‘m quite sure he‘s not in bed because I happen to know first, that he is now in the Embafi}",‘ and secondly, that he does not ) bhere, but at his flat in Mountâ€"st .. Now, hurry, man, unless you want me to get you dismissed." _ | "I have no, authority to allow you in to see anyone," the servant replied stolidly . His manner was so impressive that the other stepped aside. "I will tell Herr Greisner," he said; "but if Tâ€"should have done wrongâ€"" Just as his finger was about to pull the trigger, a knock came on the door. Greisnet ‘swung around with an oath. _â€"*"Who the®‘ devxls that?" he demâ€" anded. 4; "T‘l)l see that you don‘t get into trouble," was the quick reply. The door was opened; a servant enâ€" tered. He was already very nervous and when he saw the revolver in the hand of the man to whom he was due to speak, he trembled. "Well, fool?" "Pardon, mein herr, but I was asked to give you this," and he presented the copper disc. After he had looked at the emblem of the Ronstadtian Secret Police, Greisâ€" ner bellowed. "Who gave you this?‘ "A man who came to the side door and said he had to see you. He seemed very impatient and angry and said that if I gave you that," pointing to the copper disk, "you would understand; he said it was his authority to see you." A minute later the man who had savedâ€"at least, momentarilyâ€"Tiger life *+walked into the room. He had a rosy face, and an authoritâ€" ative manner, "Ludx!" exclaimed Greisner, "what do you mean by this? Howâ€"â€"â€"?" He was interrupted by an unlifted hand. "My real name is Rahusen," replied the caller. "and I am here by vae order of Brassiano himself. These are his express instructions. The dise of the Secret Police belongs to the time when I worked for Ronstadt, Herr Greisner." The man with the rosy face turned to the speaker and smiled. It was a horrible smile. "I‘m glad to see you‘re still alive, Standish," he replied. CHAPTER XXV EARS NEVER CHANGE Crreisner went scarlet. "Be good enough to confine your reâ€" marks to me," he replied stiffly; "this man," indicating Standish, "is no conâ€" cern of yours. "Bleéss my soul!" exclaimed a voice; "what is a bloke to do when he has too many eneémies? How are you. Rahâ€" usen?" "That is where I beg to differ,‘ was the equally firm reply; "Mr. Standish is an oldâ€"a very oldâ€"adversary of mine, and if he is to be killed as I am afraid must be the case, for he is a dangerous enemy of both our countries, then I claim the honour." "You cursed fool;" explogded Greisâ€" ner; " do you dare to dictate to me? Tickets to US.

"And, since you no doubt wish to know my reason !for coming here so late toâ€"night, I will explain that I have just received a message from Brassiano himself, orderâ€" ing me to receive from you a full exâ€" planation of what he terms ‘the abâ€" ominable treachery‘ Ronstadt has enâ€" deavoured to play off against Caronia. He knows, by the way, that I am here, so that should you attempt to do anyâ€" i thing foolisi . . . well, there might be | very awkward complications." The words sobered Greisner someâ€" what, but he quickly regained his forâ€" mer arrogance. ‘"The proper person to have come here for information was a dulyâ€"accredited official of the Caronian Embassy," he shot back. "Then I will see the Ambassador," remarked the visitor. Greisner stamped his foot. "The Ambassador is in bedâ€"such impertinence!" he cried. The other remained unimpressed. "I came here as the personal repreâ€" sentative of Brassiano; you‘ve seen my authority. I suggesst that it would be wise, perhaps if you informed his Exâ€" cellency that I am here." "You should have got your plast surgeon to change your ears, Rahusen was the comment of the prisoner. "I have no power to tell you anyâ€" thing," was the answer and Greisner turned to the envoy who had arrived from Menke in such peculiar circumâ€" stances that night. Greisner hesitated. A glance from the envoy persuaded him. * ‘"Very well," he replied. ‘Aml meanwhile, I will have a little talk with Mr. Standish. I presume that it is entirely due to his becoming involved in this same affair that he is here with us? Well, he is a very capâ€" able secret agent, as I know to my cost â€"the best in the British Intelligence Service: otherwise, I doubt if he would have penetrated my own identity." "You should have got your plastic "Yes," was the slow reply, "a man‘s ears never change, however much his face may alterâ€"I should have rememâ€" bered that. However, it is not too late to stop further mischief being done. Standish, our friend. Carlimero may be angry with me, because he had sworn to kill you himself, but I cannot help that. In any case," picking up the revolver which Greisner had laid down when he had left the room, "a bullet kills quickly; you‘ll ibe lucky. ...‘ "It is a matter for the Ambassador himself," stated the latter, speaking for the first time. "In the ordinary way, yes" he was informed, ‘"‘but, it happens, that this is purely an Intelligence affair, as you yourself know very well." The voice of Sir Ronald Waters, Secâ€" retary of State for Foreign Affairs, was polite but grim. "Your Excellency," he said, "I apâ€" ologize for troubling you at such a late hour, but I have jusit received reliableâ€"very reliableâ€"information to the effect that your Government conâ€" templated putting into effect a certain plan. .I will make no comment on this plan except to say that it is revolting to the average civilized and normal mind in the highest Zegree. "The plan in all its details was brought to me through a member of our British Intelligence. His name is Stanâ€" dish, and I am given to understand that he is at present being held a prisâ€" oner at the Ronstadtian Embassy. "Now, Your Excellency, I want you fully to understand that if Mr. Standâ€" No Baggage Checked C,. N. K. exclusive "You may possibly have saved peace toâ€"night, Waters," remarked the Prime Minister, f "I wouldn‘t bank on that, sir" was the comment of Sir Harker Bellamy; "and in any case, I‘m thinking of Standish . . . may I go?" The Prime Minister nodded. "Bring him around hereâ€"I should like to thank him personally." The door burst open. "Don‘t shoot, you fool!" cried Greisâ€" ner,; and, rushing forward, he knocked / ‘"He is to be let go," went on Greisâ€" ner; "it is the Ambassadors own orâ€" adetrs." up Rahusen‘s arm. The bullet, which had been intended for Tiger Standish‘s brain, buried itself in the ceiling. Rahusen smiled. "So, once again, the final settlement is postponed, Standish." "Yes, old cock!" was tne answer. "And I do hope that if you mess about with that mug of yours any more, you won‘t forget the ears T Sonia, too happy ncw to bother about the past, laughed as she showed her husband a newspaper photograph. "Who did you get to represent you at the Swifts match on Saturday‘>" she asked, "Whilst I was very much otherwise engaged? Oh that was Claud Ravensâ€" wood, the film star.

Richard, the Lion, the finest halfâ€" Persian in Mayfair, settled himself comfortably on the shoulder of the man he loved best in all the world. (The End) Emoticonal Disturbances Cause Rheumâ€" atism And Other Ailments You may be greatly enjoying your dinner when the telephone rings and the information that comes over it so upsets you that you cannot finish your dinner; in fact you may be sorry that you ate anything. In addition to the loss of appetite, as the worry or anxiâ€" ety continues you may have crying spells, attacks of coughing much like asthma, your heart may beat rapidly, and your hands and feet may feel cold. Dr. James Halliday in the British Medical Journal, in dealing with the relation of rheumatism to mental upâ€" setments points out that in 145 conâ€" secutive rheumatic cases, about 40 per cent suffered from an emotional disâ€" turbance. The results of a second inâ€" quiry show that in 62 consecutive perâ€" sons suffering from rheumatism 37 per cent was disabled because of emotionâ€" al ar mental disturbances. That the upset or disturbed mind afâ€" fects the beating of the heart, the flow of digestive juices, disturbances of the bladder and large bowel, in fact affects all parts of the body, is now definiteâ€" ly known. "This may be illustrated by considerâ€" ing the emotion of grief which is the response to the loss of a person or cbject that has been loved. The acute phase may involve all the working parts of the body, and include tears, sobs, chocking sensations, twitching of the lips and hands, a general sense of coldâ€" ness, distaste for foods (especially flesh foods and milk), with a feeling of the food ticking in the gullet, and the heart turning to stone, or breaking. Also, the sufferer feels stiff and sore as if he had been thrashed. As time passes all these symptoms may pass away. There are some cases where the chocking and scobbing may merge into asthma, the pain of the broken heart into angina (gripping pain under breastbone, and the stiffness and soreness into rheumâ€" atism." Thus as circumstances which affect your mind may effect the workings of the body, some physicians point out that the effects of these emotional disâ€" turbances is to cause rheumatism in many cases. When we remember what grief does to the working parts of the body it is By James W . Barton, of Pour$ EThat Bouyp THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO The following account of the Garrett Crerar wedding which took place on Saturday, Sept., 7th, in Toronto, as related by the Toronto Evening Teleâ€" gram, will be of interest to the many friends of the couple here.

The bride and groom will make their home in Timmins. Winnipeg, Sept. 11: â€"The United Church of Canada will this year reâ€" quire between 46 and 55 more ministers than appear to be in sight from the theoligical colleges.This fact was disâ€" closed toâ€"day when a committee on Recruits for the Ministry reported to the Ninth General Council of the United Church meeting in Augustine Church, Winnipeg. There is no shortage of ministers in the eastern and central conferences, but Manitoba Conference needs 17, Saskatâ€" chewan 18, Alberta 5 Northern Ontario 6 and Foreign Missions 6 to 9. There is no significant decrease in enrolment in theological courses of United Church colléeges, the General Council was told. On the other hand is an increase in some of the colleges. The real concern seems to arise from the diminution of students in arts. The committee recommended that the publication of the United Church be used to interest youth in the ministry as a calling. Church leaders might be invited to address high school gatherâ€" ings. Appeals for youth to enter the ministry might be made at conferences and rallies and groups of students should be encouraged to conduct misâ€" sions to reach young people and seek out recruits for the ministry.
