"I'm police, and I've two of my men with me. Come along." He swept the light to and fro in a widening circle as far as the beam would reach, ran forward, to the right, to the left, forward again, (winging the beam like u miniature searchlight. Glynn saw faintly a luminous glow sweep past him for an instant. He •heard a shout, the light flicked back, steadied and held on the group. The gripping hands ft-ll away from him, the crouchinif figure-s leaped duck- ed low and ran scattering from the shining light, the shouting and rushi of running feet. In another moment other figures were about Glynn, stooping and lifting his head, asking was he hurt.

"I've a throat like a lime-kiln," he grasped. "And I think I got a knife scratch acro.ss the ribs. No, wail a bit," he added, as Jimmy dropped to his knees with a "Let's see." Glynn funmbled his torn and cut clothes about the chain and slipped it higher up above where he felt the wound, and allowed Jimmy to make a swift examination under the light of the torch. "Nothing to speak of." announced Jimmy, and the police of- ficer agreed. "They slashed through your clothes, but no more than broke the skin. Let's see your throat. Hmmm ! Strangler's cord, and pretty forcibly used, too. Lucky they didn't finish you. Have you lost anything?" "Nothing â€" except my gun," Glynn said after running through his pockets. "But fancy 1 know why they didn't finish me off," he went on gently feeling this throat. "I heard them say a robbery wouldn't make much fuss and a dead man would. That reminds me â€" they ha<l a key, one that would have fitted if â€" I say, Jimmy, where's Norah? Is she nil right:" At that moment the light.s blazed on and flooded the gardens brightly again.

"By the way, I suppose he was the fake, an<l that he has vanished?" "We'll go into all that presently," said the officer, "Here are the drinks, so let's have them and move on." He turned to Doyle.

A PAGE FROM MY DIARY P.C.2 by -aS:- it's a mystery lo me why some men can't take their foot off the accelerator once in a while. 1 suppose it's some kind of disease' â€" '"speeditia" I'd call it â€" and it takes a real shock of some sort to cure it. Like hiccoughs only it's a sight more serious. For in- stance â€" Two days ago, about tea- Itime, a big car sailed past me this side of Jonesville. Had a clear road all right, but they were hopping to It â€" so I thought I'd check up. and maybe tell 'rm to slow down a bit. TTiat's how I came to be right there when the cmsh came. I'wo minutes later. Did that foolish driver slow down through the village? Not by n jugful. Just went -•"ht on ns though the place wasn't there. And right by the cross-roads in the middle of the village it happened. Old man Higgins' big police dog ran out right in front. 1 heard the brakes go on then â€" the car almost lifted itself off the road â€" I heard a wo- man scream and the dog's last shriek â€" the car wobbled for a second as it went over the poor tyke, and then it struck the post in front of the store. I was there almost on the second â€" and what a mess! Radiator and bumper smash- ed, fenders crushed â€" driver stunned and bleeding, his wife in hysterics. And a poor old dog dead in the road. Why can't people slow , down going through towns I and villages? You tell me. Well â€" I'll be seeing you.

He had made such a point of keeping con- cealed the fact that his preciou.s packet was chained round his waist that hr> hesitated to discuss it, even to such accredited people as the Chief and the Prince'.*; represent- ative. He had even taken care to hitch the chain and case well up above his waist and keep bunched ovrr it the new shirt he had put on, while hi.'- wound was dressed. "You know, 1 suppose," he began carefully, "that 1 am taking some- thing 1,1 Napadata?' "The whole world knows that a copy of the Prince's talking film of Proclamation is on the way there from England," said the Chief, "And our friend here tells me of the cables from London informing the palace at Napalata of various at- tempts made to rob you. We reason- ably assume then that you carry the film; and the Prince'.«! enemies," he added drily "very evidently as- sumed the .same." "All clear then," said Glynn. "I can't object to you, or them, assum- ing that, and 1 don't need to say more about it. I've been looking out for trouble ever since the first at- tempt to rob me at Athens, but they got away with my bag at Galilee, although 1 still don't know how or where exactly. They would have des- troyed the film in it â€" thrown it overboard in the air perhaps." | "It is the second copy of it we are interested in," said the Chief (luietly, "an<l what happened since you reached Karachi." "I had a cable from the Prince's Secretary in Lonrlon," Glynn went' on, "relayed by wireless to the air, liner.

The regular daily and nightly homi- cides, the regular stick-ups and hold- ups, the regular gang ehootings and other crimes of violence continue at their regula,- rate. They are too lamiliar to be considered news. So we ask, in all good falih, who runs this country? We don't see how the decent people can ciainj to run it. We don't ever see how the city and Stat and natloual governments can claim to run it.

Reid Blair, wiien he observed that the fe- male of the species is more deadly than the male. Dr. Blair is in a pudition to know a iot about animals, bjih sexes. He is director of the New York Zoologi- cal Park â€" Bronx Zoo ;o the nature- loving, bear-feeding and lawn-litter- ing public. The male of the speties, Dr. Blair declared today, is more dangerous, more powerful and mrire courageous than its mate. "Among the higher forms of ani- mal life " he said, "the males are larger, fierrer and better equipped with defensive and offensive wea- pons. "It haj been mv experience, hand- ling all sort.s of animals here at the zoo, that the males are mujli harder to handle, much more dangerous than the females." The reason, be said, is that upon the niales falls the burden of pro- tecting and providing for the home. He gave credit to the females for greater docility, gentleness and adaptability. He also 'hinks females exhibit more intelligence in captivity â€" if intelligence is regarded as the ability oi a creature to meet new situatiors Th?> females are less oostinate and heailstroi.'g than their mates, he as- serted. In some high orders of the animal world, notably among il»e birds of prey, the female is larger than the male. Even then. Dr. Blair said, the male makes up for his deficiency in size by possessing more dash and courage. So, III Dr. Blair's opmion, Kipling was merely taking advantage of his nice-souiiding, but unscientific adage. Its or.iy basis in faut, he said, is that sometimes the females shows a little more subtlety in its method of attack. Dr. Blair mentioned that down in the basement of the animal world, among the lower and '.â- nore primitive creatures such as insects and crus- taceans, the female is usually larger and stronger than the male. Fro(|uently, she kills and devours him after all biological responsibili- ties havt been met. But going up the scale of life Into the more advanced forms, the mam- mals ior instance, including man, woman's place is In the home and hers is ihe subordinate, domestic role. Since this pattern of nature's seems contrary to the ideals of staunch feminisis suoh as public office-hold- iug, trans-.-Mlanlic flying women, â€" Dr. Blaii discreetly declined to do any theorizing or interpreting.
