Glynn Is again attacked In Ha.srn. Chapter XIâ€" (Cont'd) Glynn and the pilot discussed plans and as soon as they arrived at Basra where they were to stay the night, Glynn proceeded to put them in operation. He had written as brief- ly as possible an account of the at- tacks made upon him and added that he was taking suitable precautions, and this message to I^jndon was sent off from the liner's wireless to be re- layed on from Bagdad by cable. At Ba.sra he went to the hotel close- ly surrounded by a watchful body- guard of the two pilots and Jimmy Doyle, Norah this time being sent off â- with the other passengers and a pro- mise that Glynn would meet her at the hotel later for dinner. To the Airways manager of the big depot there he explained some of the dan- gers he feared and his plans to beat any further attempts. Word in ad- vance had again reached the depot to give Glynn all assistance and consid- eration and the manager did every- thing in his power to give what help he could. He put Glynn in his own car with his escort to drive to the hotel and ar- ranged for a couple of stalwart police- men to attend the hotel arxl be at his orders. Glynn after a conference with the hotel manager, got into the car taking the two policemen with him and arranging with Jimmy Doyle to go ahead in a cab with the pilot and wait in hiding outside the shop of r Health Specialists MAP.VKI.OU.S .S'ATURAU ItK.MEDY for Rheumallsn:.

"I want you to \^alch and see whe- ther 1 am followed If poBsible," ex- plained Glynn, "and especially if that Indian passenger of ours is sneaking after me." Ho gave the two sufficient time to go ahead and find a hiding place and then set out in the car for the address of a native metal worker. The car had to halt at the end of a narrow street, and Glynn with his hand on his pistol and a policeman in front and behind him, moved down tho street to the shop he wanted. He explained his needs to the smith, pnxluced his cigarette tin and sat down while the man took mea.surc- ments, pro<luced a stout sheet of brass and set to work to make a case that would just hold the tin. One end was shaped as a lid which hinged down over two stout hasps projecting up through the side edges of the lid. When the case was ready, the cigar- ette tin was fitted in, the lid closed and through the hasps a length of light but strong steel chain was pass- ed and the two ends brought round Glynn's waist and fastened together by a stout padlock. With the ease in his hip pocket and the chain fitting .snugly around his waist and secured in front it was impossible to open the case so long as the chain ends remain- ed together. Glynn paid the man well for his work took the key to the padlock, call- ed in one of the policemen who had been left on guard outside gave him the key and told him to pocket it; and then with the same precautions a- gainst any sudden attack he moved out and keeping to the middle of the itarrow street, regained the waiting car and drove back to the hotel. He found Nurah waiting for him, wori'ied and anxious over the tiine he had been away and vvoiidercd what had delayed him. But now Glynn was really cheerful and confident, satis- fied that with the key tucked away in an inner pocket, no such surpri.se at- tack as he had been experiencing could possibly succeed. Even if he were knocked down and stunned or were doped as he had been in the ho- tel at Athens, il would take a smith with a kit of tools many minutes of hard and noLsy work to cut the chain or open the metal case, and he could take good care that no such long time would be left to any robbeis to work at it. He had dinner, and as they were finishing it Jimmy Doyle and the pil- ot came in, Jimmy ii#great humour, the pilot looking pleased but a little serious. When they left the tab'.e a'ld went out to the lounge to have coffee the pilot drew Glynn aside leaving Doyle chatting with Norah. "You were wise .ibout looking' out for Ix'ing followed Glynn," he .â- ^ak A cab drove up sei'on(l>;^^- tcr you had left the cai- to come down the lane there, and three men hopped out in lime to see you go into that shop. We were planted in another lit- tle shop near the corner and where we had a good look-out on your car and on the shop entiancc. One of the men stopped and spoke to thg police- man at the door, and while he did, the other two went : I and disappeared in the .shadows of doors just beyond. The first man went on, but a bit later an- other brace of to'.i^,h looking cu:itom- ers slid along and vanished into the shadows. "We thought you were for it when you came out, hut we were all :;et to break in, and the three of you coming out with guns at the ready evidently scai'cd them, and they didn't show a nose until your car started â€" when one ran along to jee It cleared off I ijuppose."

"I guess that'll be found out," &aid the pilot quietly. "We thought of that and hung on watching. Sure enough two of them went along and a few niiutes later went in. They were there a good tewcnty minutes â€" long enough for anyone with cash to buy every scrap of information about what you had done. We waited until they came out and gave them time to get away; then we slid out and back here." "Was that Indian wallah amongst the lot you saw?" asked Glynn quick- ly. "Not that one could be sure of," said tho pilot, "but you know how dark it was down there, and with tur- bans shading their faces, it was hard to tell." "Well, come along to my room and see my thief-resister," said Glynn and led the way to his room. The pilot examined the chain and case closely and agree it would take time and hard work to break either. "And if those fellows went to my smith and found out just what he had made," said Glynn cheerfully, "the gang will know they haven't a chance of any more grab-and-run ban- dit raid business, and will leave me alone." "They certainly can't do much to that so long as you're alive and kick- ing," said the pilot gravely, "but isn't that a darn good reason for them hav- ing you laid out stiff with c cracked skull or a knife in your gizzard." "Hmmm! That might be true," ad- mitted Glynn, "but we can't have ev- erything just as we want it in this life." "I don't like it," said the pilot un- easily, "dashed if I do." Chapter XIIâ€" Noruh Ilclds the Key A fairly ear'y start was made from Basra next .n)-n'.ie'. vnn ai j/ct the hotel people io have the straps of his binocular case mended and he a- gain carried them slung over his shoulder, now taking care to carry the glasses in them, and to be seen taking them out and putting them back on every occasion he could use them. Whether this was wise or not he could not be very certain, but he thought perhaps it might indicate he was no longer carrying the film, and this might stave off any further attempts at molestation. But if, Joe, the pilot, had guessed right and his tormentors had been informed aliout the ncf me- tal case that had been chained to his waist, this might invite them if he placed him.self in any position where plenty of ime could be taken to re- move the case from him â€" dead or a- live. Norah was stiil worried and ill at ea.se about the mysterious attacks and the risks he was encountering, and ho decided it would be best to tell her something of the duties he had undertaken, although he still fel felt bound by the promise he had en to divulge to nobody thatb^J'^ar ried a film foi- the purp^^s^^ it at Napalata. He could see tJu^^Ke was going to be faced with^^ntficulty at Karachi Fiom th^^ie had to take train to HiaisSft'ore, the city of Napalata out- e of which was the Prince's pal- ace and the Vidier or Prime Minister to whom he was to deliver the film. Norah's destination lay a few hour's journey beyjiul Hydrapore. It was cer- tain she would take the first train, and this he must al.so do since it was of the greatest urgency ho shou'd place his packet in the hands of the Prince's people without loss of an hour. If he travelled on the same train with her, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to avoid being seen by her, and in any ca.se it would mean all sorts of lies and deceit he could not bring himself to use with her. So he decided to tell her so much of his plans and his errand. He waited until the liner landed them at Bahrein, a station of the air route not long taken over by .'Virways off .Arabia. They lunched there, ind as there had been a favouring wind, the liner had made good time and they were allowed to dally over lunch, and to get a glimjise of the pearl fish- ing industry of which the consider- able town is the centre in the Persian gulf Hut Glynn did not join the others in their look round. It was a good op- poitiinity to have a quiet talk to Nor- ah, and he had no great fancy for of- fering himself to any further scrim- mages in native oi arters and Arab streets or bazaars. To be continued. RECORDED FACT. Tho New Yorker says a photograph- er who had taken the picture of a young lady on her wedding day four years ago r.-cently phoned her home in Scarsdiile. Ho said he would like to have her pose for him with her children. The young matron said she couldn't do that because she didn't have any children. Tho photoRrapher was adHnmnl.

Farmers to be Aided In Purchasing Seed B- C:-'^ rio Go vt. To assist farmers in the purchase of seed grain, the Ontario Govern- ment is prepared to accept two- thirds of the responsibility for loans for that purpose according to Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agricul- ture, who made the follov\-ing state- ment: "The representatives of the De- partment of Agriculture in practi- cally every county in the province have been approached in reference to the purchase of seed grain. In quite a number of counties there la a scarcity of seed grain and in prac- tically every county there are farm- ers without seed grain and without sufficient credit to enable them to secure it. "Due to these extraordinary 'con- ditions it is proposed to ask the county councils to appeal to the banks, and to secure loans under section 88 of the Banking Act for the purchase of seed grain in order to assist those farmers within their municipality who apply to them for help. "In the event of the counties los- ing any money in connection with the repayment of these loans, the Government is prepared to accept two-thirds of tho responsibility, pro- viding the municipalities accept one-third."

Loveliest Girl in Ziegfeld Follies, 19p4 1 Gives Beauty Ad^ Fresh from the Gardens "Make the Most of Y/| . Type," Says Leone Sous ur Almost any woman may be inter- esting, perhaps even beautiful, if she'll figure out her type and thjjp play up to it, according to Leone fSousa, recently chosen the most hiautif ul girl in the Zicgfeld Follies of|l934'. "Type," said the tall bru Jtte with flashing black eyes and hmv that is as smooth and shiny ai polished ebony, "is the password b#beauty and personality. The angel#-faced girl with straighi; brown#hair should realize that she is thew'Madonna type and, no matter howAiuch she longs to be dashing, showa arrange her makeup and hairjio suit. The same applies to the Spamish type of beauty. And to the wan# willowy miss. Even girls with pug#ses and freckles may be attractive^ they'll only admit to being in the^ute' category and carry out that lij^ of thought when they de- cide on ^y^coiff ure, a lipstick, a new frock. / "VfMn I came to New York six yeaj^ago," Miss Sousa said, "I look- eg^xactly like hundreds of other as- rants to the stage. I couldn't even get a job modelling clothes, to say nothing of one in the theatre. So I decided to make the most of my statuesque appearance, bought a stick of orchid grease paint to make me look pale and interesting, pinned a large bun on the back of my bobbed head and tucked my short locks up under it. Almost immediately I be- came a type and was flooded with offers from commercial photograph- ers. Later, I was able to get on the stage, and now I've won a beauty prize." Miss Sousa believes that exercise is important to one who wishes to be healthy and beautiful. She, her- self, takes' long walks in the park, rides, swims and plays tennis. Hair is another important consider- ation with her. She uses a hair brush just as the average person uses a comb. Instead of setting aside fifteen minutes for a brushing ritual, she does it while she is putting on makeup, when removing it; â€" any time at all. Miss Sousa washes her face with soap and water, twice a day, and uses a cleansing cream afterward, her nails are perfectly manicured and she uses cosmetics sparingly though she thoroughly approves of them for all women. "The trouble with most girls," she said, "is that they use too m'jch makeup and often the wrong shades, at that."

Ladak Alfalfa The Dominion Experimental FarnK throughout Canada nave been testing a new variety of alfalfa knowo as Lft« dak. This is a hardy variety grown on the high dry pateaus of Ladak iq Northern India where the summer< are extremely hot and the wiutcis ar<' cold. Ladak alfalfa has also been tesii ed in different parts of the United States. While definite conclusion^ from a single year's results cannot hi drawn, the tests indicate that Ladalj is a very promising variety for tW Prairie Provinces at least, and that i^ is deserving of further trials.
