Putting mwo and two together, that makes four "Good lord!" exclaimed the manager in startled tones. "What put that in your head? Has anybody said anyâ€" ‘hing ?" "I was wondering if it was anything to do with that Prince fellow that‘s talking of flying to India," said Glynn rasually, taking a cigarette. "Afternoon, Elliman," said the manâ€" ager waving to a chair, "Sit down. Have a cigarette" 1 suppose you‘re wondering why we hauled you off your run at the last minute?" CHAPTER 1.â€"(Cont‘d.) Twenty minutes later Glynn was being shown in to the manager at the Airways‘ office. At Croydon aerodrome, Glynn Eliiman, pilot of the Indian Airâ€" Mail liner, meets Norah Seaman who has come to see some friends off. (Glynn is ordered to stand by for a special job. He talks it over with Norah and connects the press reâ€" ports of a Prince of Napalata, who is ill in London and in haste to return to India where his father has died, with tily nn‘s orders. says Miss ETHEL CHAPMAN The Flying Courier sSYNOPSIS by Boyd Cable » famous cookery editor of the Farmer "Oh, no," he assured her. "It‘s all ir. the day‘s work for us to get chased off on hushâ€"hush jobs to look over some new type of bus or engine or something. I‘d guess it‘s something of the sort." "More and more mysteriouser," she laughed. "Almost sounds like the Orient after all." There was the hint of a question in her tones, and he answered it at once. ‘‘Don‘t even know where I‘m going yet. My boss is to tell me this evenâ€" ing, later." "It certainly can‘t be India if you‘re to be back in days," she answered. "I hope it isn‘t a tiresome journey for you "Not a thing," he told her, "except that it evidently isn‘t that job we guessed at. I‘m shunting off out of town tonight, probably, but expect to be back in a few days." ‘Yes," he answered. "You have a good ear for a voice to recognize mine so quickly." He heard her laugh lightly. "Partâ€" ly recognizing it, and partly because 1 expected you. Well, any news?" About seven that evening Glynn telephoned Norah Seaman as he had arranged, His call was answered alâ€" most on the first ring, and he guessed rightly that it was the girl herself who answered him. "It‘s Miss Seaâ€" man speaking. Is that you, Captain Ellimar.?" "Which is one reason why 1 picked you specially," said the manager, and rose, holding out his hand. Glynn grinned happily at him. "And that takes earning these days," he amended, "But I don‘t mind owning that the chance of earning it by ways wut of the usual is one better than getting it." From the open drawer he lifted out a small automatic pistol and pushed it across the desk. Glynn picked it up, looked at it, and handed it back. "I‘ll get out my own," he said, adding with a mildly enquiring look in his eye, "if it‘s likely to be needed?" ‘"You‘re getting treble pay," said the manager significantly. "That‘. all then," seid the manager briskly. "Oh, one thing moreâ€"unless you have one of your own you‘d prefer, you‘d better take this." Glynn took the efwelope, and seribâ€" bXed_}:is_narpe on the receipt form. "Quite clear," said Glynn simply. . "‘Take this cash then," said the manager opening a drawer and taking out an envelope, "You may need it for fares and hotels. Just sign the receipt for it, will you?" 999 CHAPTER II. "The law of Napalata," explained Sir Aylmer, "is that the heir to a Prince who has died must proclaim himself in his capital within seventy days. The seventieth day as it hapâ€" pens, is the day of an important reliâ€" gious festivalâ€"one on which every year there is danger of religious strife only averted with difficulty. The priests on both sides are frenzied by the rumors and tales going round; the troops and police are tormented with the doubts instilled in them...." â€" _ (To be continued.) ‘ Promises may get friends, but it is performances that must nurse and keep them.â€"Owen Feltham. "In sixteen days from now, the gutâ€" ters will be running blood," said the Prince steadily, "unless I am there." The surgeons glanced at each other again. "In a fortnight from now, it is just possible the Prince might risk travelling, but I see no hope before," said one, and the other added briefly, "Nor 1." "And that means riot, bloodshed, civil and religious war," added Sir Aylmer quietly. "It might mean anâ€" other outbreak like Moplah, and worse. This is why my Government, and the India Government is so urgent to get the Prince out to Napalata." "My own halfâ€"brother," exploded the Prince. "No use mincing words, gentlemen. _ My â€" halfâ€"brother â€"the Vuiture, as they have rightly named him. He aspires to my father‘s royal seat, and if I am not there to check him is like to seize it, unless my troopâ€" ers‘ swords are strong enough to deny him." "Of course," said Sir Aylmer slowly and with a side glance at the Prince, "‘there is an influence in Napalata..." "It is true," cut in Sir Aylmer quickly, as he saw a look of distaste on one of the faces opposite. "My own official cables and reports have been discredited." "Most curious," murmured one surâ€" geon, and the other shook his head in puzzled agreement, The Prince laughed shortly. "You do not know the East, gentlemen, nor the rooted belief in the powers of Princesâ€"and of bribery." "But surely," said the one surgeon, "our word as specialists, quoted by such an authority as Sir Aylmer, should silence such rumors." _ _"Hardly that," said Sir Aylmer. "Yet grave enough,. You have both heard of the rumors being spread through Napaata, and the dangers of riots and outbreaks being stirred up. The most dangerous lie is that the Prince is dyingâ€"without hope of reâ€" coveryâ€"and that when he dies it is planned to put an impostor in his place." \ "Sir Aylmer here may tell you it is perhaps of less importance that I live if I am not in my palace in the next two weeks or so," said the Prince. "I fear it is impossible to promise that," said the one quietly; and the other added, "I take it the importance of getting to India is less than the importance of preserving the Prince‘s life ‘"Within a week from now," added the Prince, with his eyes on the surâ€" geons‘ faces, "His Highness wished me to meet you here, so that I could give you my asurances in addition to his that it is of serious importanceâ€"the most grave importanceâ€"that he should be flown to India at the earliest possible date." ’ At the house of which he had got the address, a close and anxious disâ€" cussion was then in progress. On a big bed in th> dimly lit room, the Prince of Napalata lay, his head and shoulders slightly raised on the pilâ€" lows behind him. Seated at one side of the bed were two very famous speâ€" cialist surgeons, and facing them on the other side of the bed sat a man known to the surgeons as high in the confidential affairs of the Government and of India, He was speaking slowly and deliberately. "Certainly gets mysteriouser, as that girl said," reflected Glynn as he hung up. "Taking orders from a man I don‘t even know the name of, or anything about except his house numâ€" ber and street. But at least it‘s out of the routine, with treble pay tacked on, and that‘s good enough." "N> need to report any further to me, Elliman," the manaer finished. ‘"You‘re officially on holiday now, and I‘ll be told about it as and when you‘re reporting back again. Good night, now, and good luck." He ‘put his other call through at eight o‘clock and again was answered promptly this time, by the manager of Airways. The instructions he got were brief to a point of curtnessâ€"to take a cab to 2 house of which he got the address and where he would be expected and admitted on giving his name, to take what orders were given him there, and carry them out without question. "N> need to report anv furthar i After he had finished their talk he hung up the receiver and stood thoughtful for a moment. "Wonder why she‘s so keen about news of that Napalata biz?" e wondered to himâ€" self. "nowing his country a bit, I supâ€" pose, and interested in the local gosâ€" sip of it. Oh, well......" "All right," she agreed. "But remâ€" ember if it should turn out to be India after all, I‘ll expect you to tell me all about it." "Then perhaps I‘ll hear from you when you get back to town*?" she askâ€" e3, and he answered quickly, "You certainly will, And I‘m going to see you again as soon as possible after 9n CC OCAmCVOR sEWEAAH, HBFORCE, 605 Sterling Tower, Bay Street, Toronto money making features for flou and your connections.

Among the latest equipment used for rectifying faulty sight is an apparâ€" atus for correcting squints. The child has to look through two lenses in front of which are two slots in which coloured plates, similar to lantern slides, are fitted. Both plate *are exâ€" actly the same and have on them picâ€" tures of Mickey Mouse in various comic attitudes. At first the child sees two separate pictures, but, slowly, the plates are moved about until the child sees the two pictures merged into one. This merging has the effect of making both eyes concentrate on the same spot, thus correcting the squint. Mickey Mouse is familiar as a toy, a mascot, and as a decoration on nurâ€" sery teaâ€"cups and kiddies‘ handkerâ€" chiefs, but his latest use is unique. Even Chaplin himself could not rival the merry mouse in his new job, writes Titâ€"Bits (London), for Mickey is actually helping specialists to corâ€" rect errors of vision in children at a famous London eye hospital.

Dr. Jackson deep!: regretted the inâ€" crease in maternal mortality, but fearâ€" ed that a factor in the increase was the reportedly increasing frequency of abortions, particularly those selfâ€"inâ€" duced. Of the maternal deaths reportâ€" ed here last year, he said 25 per cent. were from abortions and half of these were probably selfâ€"induced. He beâ€" lieved that many maternal deaths re ported due to puerperal septicaemia were traceable to abortions. 5. No desths took place of any person protected by toxoid immunization, he said, and the reduction in cases eeâ€" ported could be traced to the immuniâ€" zation campaign. In regard to diphtheria, the number of cases reported was only 56, conâ€" trasting sharply with the total of 1,022 in 1929. In the same period the numâ€" ber of deaths was reduced fro=< 64 to If the 1929 death rate of 11.8 had prevailed in 1933, Dr. Jackson points out, deaths here last year would have been 800 more in nu.aber.
