"You have knowledge, and a quick wit, Capâ€" "Excellent," said the equerry. "I wish you to go straight to the station now and take the first train to the factory. The manager will expect you, and knows what you have to do." He handed an addressed envelope to Glynn and on the first glance at it Glynn nodded emphatically. "Yes, I know them and their make of machines well. Good firm, good bus, good enâ€" yinesâ€"all first class," "I am pleased to meet you, Captain Elliman," he said gently. "You have been very strongly recommended for the work we wish undertaken. The fArst step is simpleâ€"and yet it must be guarded. You know this firm and place perhaps?" \ The door opened and closed silently, and the Prince‘s secretary came softâ€" footed again to the bed. "The pilot is here, Your HMighness," he said softâ€" ly. "He is speaking now with your equerry in the library." | In the library, Glynn Elliman was dropping to the low chair by a table at which sat a thin, slightlyâ€"built man with deeply bronzed face. "Everything that can be done, will be," said one of the two, and the other murmured agreement and added, "But we can promise nothing at this stage." "I have ought an aeroplane," said the Prince. "And I have employed 2 recommended pilot to Ry it. I must trust to you gentlemen to make me well enough to risk the journey." _ "And the Vulture feeds the flames with threats of punishment to those who oppose him, and promise of reâ€" ward to those who help him on the "Day of Feast" broke in the Prince bitterly.

He motioned slightly with one hand and a figure moved silently forâ€" ward out of the shadows at the side of the room into the light round the bed, a dark face under the gleam of the white turban. "It is the hour," said the Prince. "See if the pilot has come." The Indian bowed, slid silently to the door, and disappeared like a whost.

He listened intentâ€" ly, interrupting only with & quick sharp question at intervals. Then, _ The call was answered from a small, plainly but comfortably furnished room with a heavy desk in one corner and in the centre a table littered with maps. Five men sat round the table, and, on the first ring, one of them leaned back to the desk and picked upl the elephone there. Five minutes later the same man emerged from a side door, walked quietly to the corner and round it, and then broke into a shuffiing trot that took him over the pavement at surâ€" prising speed. Three minutes later he was in a public telephone booth and ringing up a number. ‘ Glynn paused for a moment, foot on step, said "Paddington, Main Line," to the driver and stepped in. The Inâ€" dian bowed as the cab moved off, slid back to the house and inside as the door closed silently, _ _ _A few minutes later, Glynn was ushered out to the street where his cab still stood waiting at the curb. The Indian who swung the door open for him held it there while another man in European clothes but with a close turban on his head slipped past him and opened the cab door for him to enter. "Better than good," said the equerry with general approval in his voice, as the pistol vanished from sight again. _ Glynn laughed. "Not where you‘re looking," he said. "That‘s a decoy, so that anyone after me would grab there, or my hand on that sideâ€"and find this looking at him." On the last word his left hand flashed in under his right arm and out again with the shining barrel of an automatic lined ‘ across his body. armed." "Good," said the equerry, rising to his feet. His eye flicked down for a second to Glynn‘s side pocket, and he added. "I am glad to see you are "I was told I‘d meet my employer here," said Glynn evenly. "I wouldn‘t have spoken even my guesses to any "I understand," said the equerry, "So there is no need to say more than thisâ€"that I can pay you well for quickness to think and act, and slowâ€" ness to talk." â€" Glynn nodded. "It‘s partly my job t. know about new types. And I know, like lots more, it‘s one of the few to spare in the country fit for a straight fast flight in long hops to India, with a full load of several people. And the papers have talked about somebody who might fly soon to India." tain. You have heard of this newâ€"â€" erâ€"bus ?" Glynn nodded. "It‘s partly my job During 1933 as a whole, gold in the U.8.

He can fly the whole way in a week or so easily, and his doctors will make him wait until the last to be in better health for the journey." "But is there time?" protested Steâ€" fan. "If, for example, this man goes to bring the new Syntax to London, the Prince may start at once." He hissed a phrase and an oath in Russian, and whipped round to Stefan. ‘"He is right. You see it. Your Vulâ€" ture must be telegraphed to send out trusty men on the Air Mail with ordâ€" ers to alight at each place where a machine flying out must land for fuel, and perhaps to rest the Prince. It will be for them to see that if the machine lands where they wait, it does not leave again." Michel sat hunched over the table, looking up under half closed heavy lidded eyes at the speaker. As he finished, the heavy lids lifted and the eyes shot a gleam of fanatical fire that for a moment transformed the someâ€" what heavy, almost stupid features. ‘"Yes?" said Stefan in some surprise and the Indian went on softly, "Our master, The Vuilture, has many vulâ€" tures who might fly for him from Inâ€" dia to meet his halfâ€"brother of the Vulture on the way." ] "The Air Mail leaves India on Wedâ€" ne§(_i§\y,1sajgl_ Chatterjee suggestively.

The train had just gone. "Air Service,‘‘ said Michel. "If there is truth in this report, it is from the Air a man of the Services might be sought." "Or of another service than the Army, perhaps," suggested Michel. ‘"‘The Police?" asked Stefan.

He looked at Michel as if for his opinion, and Michel with a tightening Max went in haste, and other others gathered round the table again.
