"Whieh is a reminder that the journey is not finished yet, and there mnr be more danger for you." 'Wm just thinking,” said Glynn slowly, "the Prince seems to be a ge- nerous sort of chap or rather appre- ciative of anything done for him. And when he and Airways hear all about the systematic attempts to nobble me, Airways will think it a feather in their cap that one of their men put this jolt through.” “That might be the best plan, she agreed.

I "My dear Glynn," cried Norah, and burst into laughter. "It's very evi- dent," she went on, "that you don't know the standard of wealth the Prince belongs to, " his neighbors like myself do. Why, I'm sure the Prince would consider you were lo. wering his dignity if you offered Mr. Doyle any present lees than-well, say a brace of elephants, or a dia- mond studded cigarette ease."

The second message prepared was addressed to Karachi. "Previous in- formation of position of case is cor- rect. May be able to act to-night, but it not arrange to meet me Karachi, on arrival and arrange plan.' ’ One message was to the man Mi- ‘chel, in London. It ran (before being 1coded in Hindustani) "Basra smith's information correct as to place where case is carried. Duplicate key receiv- ed from smith hope may be used Kur- achi or Hydnpore.

The waiter, in pouring the wine and lifting the bottle over Glynn's shoulder spilled I little splash of it. Quickly and with profuse apolo- tries, he whipped the napkin over -.is, The Indian passenger before he went in to dinner, had a little talk with one of the Arab waiters who spoke enough English to understand. "It is a little joke some of us wish to play on the sahib," said the Indian "If you can do what I wish, and say nothing to anybody--" he passed thel money into the man’s ready band"-; and say no word to anybody, you shall have the same amount when you tell me what you have learned."] It was the only long after that Glynn learned the inner meaning of the little incident which followed-- learned too late for the information to be of use TO him, like a good deal more that came out when the whole business was over. I This talk took place in the lounge before dinner was served, and when 'they went in to it, and sat down, Glynn called the wine waiter.. 'This is our last night on the mail trip," he said to Norah, so we must cele- brate it properiy.” He picked his wine and ordered it, and the wine] steward went off to send it in. "I have all that settled in my own mind nlready," she unswered lightly, and turned the subject by asking it he had found the Prince's telegram. "No," he said, "and I'm completely puzzled how I could have lost it. I'd have sworn I slipped it in my side] jacket pocket but it isn't in it, or' l any other." I "Reminds me," laughed Glynn, ‘since the Prince is so prompt to ree ognize any help given to me on this trip, I'll have to recommend you and your key carrying as a bit to be suit- ably rewarded. Now, what do you think you’ll ask him as a suitable ve-l ward?" "I have," the aid promptly. "I mid you it would not leave me, and it hasn't and won't. , "Pitr, in a way to be cooped up like this," "id Glynn, "bat ith, only for to-night, and tomorrow we'll be at Karachi and I'll be under the wing of the Prince's people.
