"There is no need to send any •word to Karachi " said the Vulture calmly. "No others are to know of this plan except the two who carry It out and yourself."

CHAPTER XX The Train Wreckeri Norah aiisweicd Glynn's question with a quivering lip and moist eyes raised to nis. "Thank you, Glynn dear. Yes, that answers my question, but I'll wait to answer yours until we are alone." Glynn turned to the Chief and the Prince's officer. "I don't think there is anything more to be said. And as Miss Seaman and I have the train to Hydrapore to catch, and it Is getting on towards time for ir, we ougiit to be going." "One moment," s.ii'J the Chief. "I should very much iikt. Miss Seaman to stay In Karachi over the night. She has i^iven us her father's name and address, and I am having a tele- phone call put through to the hospital where she tells me he Ib 111. I'd like her to wait uiit;i 1 have my reply." "I'm afraid Mi.'<s Heaman can't ob- lige you.' said Glynn, "and I'm the less inclined to ask her to because you are merely teleohor.ing to verify what she has told you. You'll get your verification In time, but that is the less reason for her to wait." "I'm sorry," said the Chief rather brusquely. "I muf-t insist. "Does that mean Miss Seaman Is to be detained agrtinst her will," ask- ed Glynn with a note ol anger In his tones, "that in fact fhe is under arrest?" "I hope .';he and you will be .sensible enough not to make any unpleasant steps necessary," replied the Chief. "I see," said Glynn, and now there was no question of th^ anger In his voice. "Very well. Miss Seamart will stay, no doubt since you insist. But if she stays in Karachi to-night, so do I." "But Captain,'' exclaimed the aghast oITicer of the Prince. '"Vou must go tonight. It Is the only train that will get you to Napalata in time to-mor- row." "Discuss that wiUi fhe Chief," said Glynn curtly.

The Indian turned to the Chief, pulled him aside and began a vehem- ent pleading In low hut urgent tones. "Glynn, my (!ear." said Nora softly. "Never mind me I shall be all right, and I can wire father I am detained. You can't full in your mission at the last stage after so hard a tight to complete It." "I shan't have to. old dear," chtick- led Glynn. "I ve got a stranglehold on them, and th;y know it. They'll give in. You see." Ho was quickly prcved right. The Chief stepped abruptly to hia table and pressed a boll, ond when a con- stable answered, sent for the officer an armed guard on the seat, and could drive them to their hotel. "Many thanks," said Glynn with a smile. "But as this officer bad or- ders to dr.ve us tlieie. he might be reprimanded f.ir disobedience. Ob, you don't know, i:iy lad â€" " he cut In on the officer's assurances It would be all right. "You're likely to find your Chief in a mighty reprlmandish mood for an bn-.r or two," and he turned to help Norah In. "I'm getting nervous of these Pro. tected of the Protector agents and representatives," he half laiighed as they took their seats, "with their armed guards on the box seat.

The Vulture made careful arrange- ments for news of the expected dis- aster to the train from Karachi to reach him as quickly as possible. He had a man waiting at the Hydrapore I station to be Informed when the I train passed a station on the Hydra- ] pore side of the spot selected for the wreck, and the longer after Its due time tile train was In arriving there, the more certain it would be that the wreckers had succeeded. The man at Hydrapore station would also get early news of tho smash when it was telegraphed down the line. The train was due at the station after the wrecking place about ten o'clock, and when the scheduled time had passed by a good half hour with no news of arrival there, The Vulture was fairly satisfied that his plans had been carried out. The time passed on to 10.45 and then to 11 a.m., and at each time he had a telephoned message to say there was still no word of the train's arrival, although the station at Hydrapore, not under- standing this, had telegraphed and been informed that the train had passed another station ten miles fur- ther back nearly an hour before. The Vulture rubbed his hands with satis- faction. He was certain now that the train had smashed, and probably He repealed that remark with even ' 'li^^e had been no survivors to carry greater emphasis at the station later word of the disaster to the nearest when he s.iw the Prince's private coach attached to the I rain, the half. telegraph station.

"It is known that preparations have been made to bring the flying courier, wife making for the train, he also I by a palace car, from the station at Hydrapore as soon as he arrives,' said Abdul All humbly. The Vulture indulged in an evil grin, and nodded indifferently. "The Premier's Secretary, Hasim, is to drive in by motor from tlie Pal- ace with an armed trooper beside the driver, and two other troopers fol- lowing in another car. In Hydrapore, a troop of bnvse will escort Hasim with the Courier through the city in case of any attempt against them.

Later sigh ot relief. ' a Japanese expert may be brought They coul'l not guess tbsl The to New Brunswick to provide further instruction. In Britiab Columbia, Japanese ex- perts have sexed 1,500,000 chicks. The Washington Co-operative Egg and Poultry Association, largest on the continent, la selling sexed chicks to two-thirds ot Its customers, although it has practiced the sexing for only a year. Japanese who are introducing the method sometimes earn from $90 to $100 per day. The champion, named Yogo. can determine the sex of 1,400 chicks In an hour and his charge is from a cent to a cent and a half per chick. The method attracted little attention when explained in a paper read by a Japanese profe.ssor at the World Poultry Congress In Ottawa six years ago. "Eastern Canada has got to follow the Pacific Coast lead or be out- stripped," said Mr. Jones. "We will have to adopt the Japanese method of sexing if we are not going to lose our place In the poultry industry, which is 12,500,000 in New Brunswick alone." The Sugar Bush This year, many farmers have seen fit to sell oft their sugar bushes, thus helping to obtain money They forget that there will be no steady income from the making of maple syrup, even if the price per gallon has decreased from what it formerly was. Many a valuable woodlot has been sacrificed for what it would bring and the landscape ruined be- cause of this need of money. Over three-quarters of the land ar- ea of Canada is unsuitable for suc- cessful agricultural production, but much of it could be utilized for grow- ing forests. Unregulated cutting, frequent and extensive forest fires, insects and fun- gus diseases have eliminated many of the more desirable species of trees in some areas. Forests are necessary for the trade of a country and for the employment of men. They affect thp climate and water upply, while the farmer obtains his fuel from the woodlot. Fish require clear, cold wa- ter such as is found in the shade of the forest: game attracts tourists but without forests where is the game to be found? Birds must have nesting places so as to enchant us with their beauty and song. They help men by planting trees and by keeping down insects. In summer, in and above the for- est, the air is cooler than over open ground. In winter, the snow is pro- tected from both the sun and the wind and so melts more slowly. Hence there is less danger from erosion and floods than where the trees are cut off. It behooves us as Institute mem- bers to urge our men to protect the forests and to plant new trees where the land is not suitabte for agricul- ture. This article was contributed by (Mrs. R. J.)
