On the sumu Mull line travels Norah Braniuii, a girl Ulynii had met only a week befi.re Stefan. Mux and Dt •cents of the Vulture are foiled In â- eu'iiil altemiits, but ut Ciulllee the at- tarhe case In which Glynn curries one fllni Is stolen. Next morning after the liner has left Ciallleo. Stefan and M.ix, who have sluyed bt'hlriO, thIiikInK their Work finished, learn that two copies are carried by the Courier. Stefan hires a •mall plane and hopes to catch thu Uncr, but engine trouble dcvelopes uiid they leave without him. Rlynn is BKuIn attacked In Oasra. Olynn Is ordered by the I'rince to re- ward the mun assl.sting him at Athens. Be hiut u siifclal chain made and glve.^ the key to .S'urah. At ShurKah he stay.s •board theplune. The Indian passenK- JT bribes a waiter to locate where Qlynn ke..|,s the film on his person. Instantly the Indian heard a Biovcmenl in the room, and a tjucs- tion, first in Arabic and then in EnRlish, "Who is there?" He disap|)carcd from the corridor Mke a ghost ; and when an armed po- liceman opened the door a moment later, the pas.'^ace was empty. He ahut locked the door a>;aiii, and sat down with his eye on the handle and key. While this was goinir on, Glynn, with the connivance of Norah, was probing Jimmy Doyle gently as to his tastes and inclination, hoping to lather some indication of what sort o. present would be most acceptable AS a "suitable rewnnl' from the Prince. But the problem wa.-; lts.-< easy of solution than Glynn had hoped, Jim- mp was frankness itself aI>out his doings and future ambitions He had been through Public School, and had •verything planned to go to the Uni- versity, until the 'depression" period had hit his peoi)le's businesii (like s many others) and all plans for taking a degree and studying fir Law, with the usual protracted pe- riod as briefless barrister had per- f '0* be€M " hacked in the dicj i,.'' "I know how lucky I am," said Jimmy reflectively, "that the pater was able to use influence with a friend and get me the job in the Bombay office I'm bound for now. It's dashed ungrateful of me, of course, but 1 don't mind admitting India does not appeal to mc one scrap, and I loathe the thought or an office job anywhere. But needs must,' he concluded cheerfully, 'and maybe I'll get a chance to swot some Indian law, and work up into some legal side of the business I'm going to â€" if it has one." He was keen on athletics and .â- -[)orts of various kinds. "Motor bik- ing?'' .laid Glynn hopefully and try- ing to decide whether the price of a little motor cycle would be beyond the Princes conception of a reward. "Not me," said Jimmy promptly, 'I've no hanker at all for any sort of motors, or mechanics of any kind.' Glynn sighed, and tried to think of a rea.sonable expensive "reward" that would fit with Jimmy's sports and games, but could think of noth- ing in the shape of Rugger oi boat- ing or cross-country carrier outfits that would qualify; and somehow, a set of law books didn't seem the right kind of reward. "Is University very expensive, Jimmy?" Norah asked casually. "Dunno about .some fellows," an- swered Jimmy, "but pater and I had it all figuered cut that twelve to fifteen hundred pounds was to see me through and give me a start in law â€" that, and any bit I could make on the side in freelance journalism Chrisilie's Arrowroots For more than eighty years preferred and by the mothers of Canada because of their proven purity and maintained qualify. By the way, d'you happen to know if there is any market in India, for freelance stuff. I've had a few artic- les accepted in â€" '" "Typewriter," Glynn exploded suddenly . "Journalists use type- writers, don't they? .Machines, I mean; not girls." ".Some do,'' said Jimmy, "but not nie, thanks. More beastly machinery.' "Yes, of course," sighed Glynn, regretfully thinking how perfctlly a typewriter could have been made to fit . whole choice of costs. "Well, I'm going to bed, NoraV. said suddenly rising. Glynn looked at her reproachfully, "This is rank desertion,' he said meaningly, but she only laughed ' lightly. He walked across room with her to oj>en the door. "You might have struck on a bit until we puini>€d out something that would square with this I'eward busi- ness," he grumbled. ".Silly," she said. "I've got all we need to know. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Just one thing. Get his father's address. Say you might look him up one day whey. y<*i get back." It was a good hour later when Glynn and Jimmy Doyle started off to bed. Jimmy went first while Glynn saw to certain arrangements he had made for the night. Jimmy's room next to Glynn's, towards the middle of the line of bedroom doors opening off the corridor. As he turned the corner into the passage, he did not notice that one of the first doors was open an inch or two, and could not sec that in the dark- ness of the room inside that doors, the gleaming eyes of the Indian Dass were peering out at him. The watcher let him pass, and waited with his eyes set on the corn- er turniriff into the corridor. In his right hand he held a straight-bladed knife, and hanging from his wrist by a foot-long .string, dangled a padlock key; and in his left hand he held the door-handle, and a long noosed cord of silk â€" the dreaded strangling cord of the "Thugee," the cord which, when dropped over tTie head of the victim and drawn tight with a jerk, chokes, to silence, or the faintest gasp and gurgle, the last breath that can be drawn or expelled. The Indian plotter was staking al- most all on this last throw â€" the throw of the .silken cord, backed with the thrust of a knife if it were needed to hasten the work. But he was handling tools he knew, tools thai had .served the caste of Thugs in India for centuries and had rarely failed i the hands of the exi)erts. The creak of Kuropean shoes, and soft slani)) of their heels came to the watcher. .Swiftly, with his eyes on the corridor corner, he shifted the knife to hold it in his teeth, took the cord in both hands and ran it smoothly through his steady fingers As he caught tho first glimpse of Glynn's figure swinging round the corner into the corridor, he closed the iloor silently and held it ready to swing open on smooth and well oiled hinges. He heard shod feet come towards opposite to, past his door; counted ten paces of their passing â€" ten puces thai uoidd he 0(]ual to five strides oil Ills following hare f<H>t-soles, as "ZhUM 1U Orange Pekoe ^L Xm §â- â-  Blend " ^ Fresh from the Gardens Elxercise, Right Food Holiday Substitutes If You Have That Tired Feel- ing and Can't Get A'way, This Advice May Help Along about this time of year, vitality is at a low ebb and a girl's reflection in the mirror isn't apt to please her. Her complexion seems to be grayish, tired lines appear around mouth anti eyes, her neck is stiff when she wakes up in the morning. Something must be done, of course. No one wants to go on feeling out of sorts and looking tired and wan. A vacation probably is the most effec- tive way of getting rid of "spring fever." If you possibly can, take a trip somewhere and get away from the typewriter, sewing machine, children or what have you. You'll be surprised at what one short week will do for your disposition and your looks as well. However, if you're one of those people who never seem to be able to take a vacation, substitute exercise, the right food and some home beauty treatments for a holiday in the country or on a boat. They're inexpensive substitutes and really quite pleasant. First, make sure that your drink- ing ten glasses of water each day, a dash of lemon juice when you get up in the morning. Walk to the of- fice or, if your work is confined to the home, take a brisk walk as soon as the morning's housework is done. Get ten hours sleep every night and do some setting-up exercises whon you get out of bed. The Smart Bedroom Is Done In Modem or Classic Manner New Argument About A Political Career ALB.\.\y.

ART LITERARY SERVICE lit I.ec .\\inuf. nr'.D.NTO Katurally you want your bedroom to convey an impression of peace and repose. But whether you fur- nish it in modern style or use some of the lovely adaptations of period pieces depends entirely upon your in- dividual taste. A walk through the furniture shops or departments of any of the fine modern stores will furnish you with plenty of inspiration. You will see fine woods wrought with skilfuU craftsmanship into pieces of rare and enduring beauty. Pieces that you .vill be proud to own and to hand down to our children. For one of the out- standing characteristics of the new furniture is that it is soundly and substantially made. If the modern trend has done nothing else, at least it has re-established a regard for value and la.sting worth in furniture. For It is a type of furniture that ad- mits of no slighting in construction. Everything must be sound and sub- stantial. SIMPLE, RESTFUL DESIGNS One of the most distinguished of the modern bedroom suites was modern in inspiration. The pieces were made of beautifully matched woods â€" the grain of the wood form- ing an important integral part of the design. The twin beds had plain head and footboards with the grain meet- ing in the middle to form an etfec- ivo pattern. The beds and each piece in the set were outlined in ebony. The drawer pulls were formed of ob- long blocks of r.ighly polished wood. The large round mirror over the dressing table was set in a black Lbony base â€" the top entirely without a frame. Above tho mirror a long cylindrical light of frosted blass was fastened giving a clear bright illumi- nation for make-up. Another dressing table, also in the modern manner was illumined by indirect lighting â€" the bulbs set into the top of the table. throwing the light upward and di- rectly on tho face so that there were no shadows â€" a very important feature as every woman who has struggled with old-fashioned methods of illumi- nation can tell you. Low triangular or siiuare stools are used before the dressing tables. .A.n especially notable feature in bodroinn furniture of modern design is the efficient way the chests of drawers are designed. .\ny man will delight in the easy sliding drawers that open to display large storage p'.aee for mas- culine belongings. ADDITIONAL BKDROO.M PIECES If you are doing your bedroom in the modern manner you'll be fas- cinated by a lovely chaise longue up- holstered in soft lieige fur fabric. It is luxurious in the extreme and ther is a small arm chair to match. Thes pieces are typical of the comfort an ease of this modern furniture. It L severely simple in design yet highlj effective.
