Glynn Is rescued. * * m CIIAPTKR XXVI THE VERGE OF WAR Before Dass had arrived at the Police headquarters with his inform- ation of where Glynn mijrht be found, Norah and Commissiioner Kawly were speeding a.' fast as motor could ta'rce them to the Prince's palace. The distraught Premier, having taken every step and given every order he could think might be useful, had beg- ged the Police to ask Norah to come to see him, thinking that perhaps the might be ab!e to give some hint that would help. Norah, vaguely supposing that if by any chance Glynn could escape (as kc had done so often) he would make »traight for the palace and the Premier, was glad of the chance to go, to do anything that would escape the idle sitting and waiting for new.s When she ),'ot there, she and the Commissioner were brought straight to the Premier, and found with him Hasim the Secretary, and the com mander of the Prince's bodyguard They were all looking so glum and downcast that Norah's heart sank at the sight of them, and she could only Btammer, in answer to the Premier's courteous welcome, "Any news â€" of Glynn â€" of Captain Ellinian, the Courier?" "Yes," said the Pr<^mier, shaking his head. "But the news is not good.' Norah gasped and stared at him, hiting ut her lip to restrain a cry. Rawly slipiied a hand under her elbow and said quickly "Steady. Norah," and to the Premier, "She is engaged to marry Captain Ellinian. Ir he . . hurt?" Instantly the Premier, forgetting his own desperate situation, hasten- ed to offer assurances that Glynn was hurt, b" not seriously â€" a knock on the head that had stunned him and for which he would be none the Your Liver's Making You Feel Out of Sorts Wake up your Liver Bile â€" No Calomel Needed When you feel blue, depressed, sour on tha world, that's your liver which Isn't pouring Ita dally two pounds of liquid bile Into your bowela.

The police broke in no more than seconds too late, and as a man was smashing it| to fragments. The police tell me they fear it is past repair, but Captain Klliman has just left Ilydiuiiore iiii a fast police car with the broken lilm. I have an expert ojicrator here, I and there is just a faint hope that; some bit of it may be lit to show â€" if i it were only enough to give a jiicture; and a sentence or two of his voice." "How did the police learn wliere to! find the couries?" asked Rawly. "A man came to them saying he ; knew where the Courier v. as to be carried, and offering to lead the police there." "For the sake of a rewar.l, I sup-; pose?" asktd Rawly. j "He stipulated his reward in ad- i vance," said the Premier, "and the liolice, with my approval, promised i it within fair limitation.-'. He asked' for the Prince's pardon, in advance, of any theft or attempted theft of I any ])roperty of the Prince or his servants. The man's name is Dass,' and he has just come from England." Norah, who had been given a seat I and was answering some que,stions of j the Secretary's^ cried out at the iiame| â€""Dass! But he is a servant of The Vulture, or so Glynn believed; and one of those on the Air Mail who consjiired to rob hini." "This is news," said the Premier, "but it explains the man's request for pardon against such theft or at- tempted theft. And :iow he offers full evidence that will convict The Vul- ture of plotting the whole attempt at robbery and detail.^- of how it was ar- ranged." From somewhere outside there came the faint sound of shouting and the throb of drums. "Will you go, Hasim," said the Premier, "and sec what is the humour of tJie people now." Hasim bowed and went, the officer of the guard accompanying him. Refreshments had been brought at the Premier's order, but Norah was too anxious to want anything to eat or drink, although she listened with the keenest interest to what the Premier had to say of the state of affairs at Napalata. "To-night is the last night on which the Prince can legally pro- claim himself," he exi)lained. "If this film had come, the people might have accepted it, and the priests would have done so if there were strong enough resemblance of the Prince's face and voice. But of the two copies of the film sent, one was stolen with the Courier's attache-case, and now the other appears to have been des-' troyed at the last minute." ce«d. I hoiM! the Prince will be equal- ly understandint;." "My dear lady," said the Premier warmly. "You do not know the I'rince, his generosity, his synijiathy. He will hardly rcjiroach even those of us who merit blame, because we fell into the trap that allowed our niotor.s and uniforms be taken to de- ceive Captain Elliman." "Well, I hope he makes that Vul- ture half-brother of his pay for his sins," growled Rawly. Hasim and the otlicer returned, looking grave and disturbed, and they could all hear the increased vol- ume of the shouting and the frenzi- ed booming of the drums. "They wait only for the showing of the lilm that has been promised," said Hasim. "Already the rumours have been sjiread that there is no film, and that the people vvill be given instead a fantastic tale of its having been stolen or lot." '"That rumour has been circulating for days," said the Premier, and Hasim agreed but addeil that it had been heard less that day when it was reported from him oflicially that the film was even then on the train from Karachi. "Now it is being said freely and loudly by the Vulture's men that this also is a lie, that to-night it will have to be made known that there is no lilm to be shown." "It means then," said the Premier, "that the Vulture must havo heard that the film is destroyed. Oh, if only there is enough of it whole to refute him." "If there is not," put in the officer. "You may be sure tliere will be much blood shed o'-tore morning. We have only two thousand troops, and there are scores of thousands on the two sides at eacii olher.s throats, and on bolli sides at ()Urs if we try to stop the killing an<i burning." "fjisten," cried Norah starting up. "A motor horn. Can it be Glynn's?" It was the car that brought Glynn, and in a few minutes he was usher- ed to the Premier's room, leaning heavily on the arm of a police of- ficer, a bandage about his head, his face haggard and drawn In a flash ivorah was by his side, wa.=. guiding him to a chair and lowering him in- to it. He made a pitiable attempt to j hold up hi.i iiead and shoulders and I assure her huskily that he was all | right not hurl a bit, and there was '' nothing to worry about. j "Everything all right now," hej said vaguely, looking about him. "I i say, who's everybody. Oh, yes, andi how is it they're hi-rt?, wherever j 'here' may be?" i "Y'ou'i'c in the Prince's palace at! Napalata, Glynn," she told him. "But I ! don't bother now â€" Icau back and j rest." : The Premier pressed forward, welcomed him and thanked him in the name of the Prince for all he had done. "I have sent for the man who operates the film projector. We havo a talking one in our i)rivate cinema here and it has beon prepar- ed to show the Princes film when it comes. But the operator will be able to tell us if any part is fit, or can be made fit, to show." "What does he mean?" whispered Glynn to Norah. "Hasn't he got his film yet?" "Don't worry," she said soothing- ly. "Look, hero is something to drink. A whisky soda, eh?" He nodded, and the .servant held a tray while Norah took the bottle fnd syphon and pour- ed a good stiff drink for him.

It is an unusual record for citizens of the make-believe community where marriage partners change with the frequency of a Virginia reel. Yet it shouldn't be unusual. "How to atay married?"

LYDIA L PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND "You cannot know how hard Cap- tain Elliman strove to keep it safe," said Norah [ileadingly. "We know something of it," said the Premier, "and we are the more in his debt because ho brought the film through so far against so many perils and attempts, and only failed because we failed to protect him when he might well think his task l)hysically fitter than inanv men half his age.

(juest something In the way of a dup- licate for an answer a few years ago. Just because two people's hearts click in the moonlight doesn't mean that ro- mance Is going to remain. "Love is only a part ot tuaulage," he observes. "Mental companionships which are found In marriage mean so much. If tw-o people's minds do not work In the same channel they are bound to be lonely and unhappy." Thomas Meighen was an actor on the legitimate stage when he met Frances Ring Ha was playing the leading part in George Ade's "The College Widow." Miss Ring was cast as the college widow. They liked play- ing opposite each other on the stage. And they liked each other even better off tho stage. They were married. Af. ter a couple of seasons together they signed contracts with different com- panies and their work took tliera to separate towns. Wliethet tho othei \vas iieai or far, the status of their affections did not vary, Meighen reminisces Dis- tance didn't matter. It should not, in real love, he asserts. There is still suoli a thing :.s constancy In the world It is as old aa the Rock of Oibraltar and quite as well established. Of course Mrs. Meighen didn i have time to get tired of me when we were apart," the actor explains with a twinkle In nis blue eyes. "But she made a wise move when I went Into the movies. She had offers to enter the cinema, too. Itut sJie didn't ac- cept them. Insteail she ilevoted her time ana Interests to working «Ua me. That Is something a wise wife should do. She iiave up her career as I progressed. "She thought I hau a lulure. She wanted me to succeed. So s^ie devot- ed herself to me. When both a man and a woman are trying for Important careers, uelther one has much time to be sympathetic about the other's career. In Hollywood to-dayâ€" where there are really many happy marriag- esâ€"there are also many examples of broken marriages when both the bus- band and wife are striving for en- viable careers. When both are on the stage, each comes home at night fill- ed with the story which has been sug- gested for his or her next picture. "Naturally ," man wants to tell his wife all about it. But if she has a story of her own, that will distract her attention. She hasn't time to listen to hlrn. If she does, her mind Is on her own problems. Short Engagements Best A wise woman, whether she Is a wife or not, will be a sympathetic lis- tener. It she Is a wife, she will have all of her eggs In her husband's bas. ket so of course she is going to watch to seo that he does not trip, and make an omelet of It. That. Thomas Meigh- en believes, is the best policy, "I don't believe In long engagement he says. "Two people before marriage .s.hould kno-.- each other well enough to realize thai Uod has not yet creat- ed a perfect human being. They shouldn't expect too much of each other. They should be so well ac- quainted that they won't be deceived by external personalities. Still, we all have them. How is anyone going to know'? You can't put a dictagraph in a girl's house. Let tvomeu talk If they want to. There Is an impression that they talk loo much but if they talk intelligent- ly it interests men. "If people in love would watch now the adored one treats others It would help. I never noticed how my wife treated me. 1 paid attention to how she treated others." And It worked. There i- the question of separate vacations. They help. We take them. .•\ husband and wife should have some time apart if only for a tew weeks. Even the cook and the butler get away for a vacation. He Wrote a Fine Hand" Fifty-Fifty Proposition "Two people who want to make their marriage last, njust have faith and confidence in matrimony. If they haven't the union will go on the rocks. Dul above everything marriage is a 50-50 break. It isn't a liO-40 or an 80-20 per cent affair. It has to be eq- ual. Faitlt is its cornerstone. If you haven't that, you haven't marriage." "It makes me feel whiskered to say that 1 have been married twenty-six years,'' he remarks. But a lot of other actors have been married just as long. Sometimes to the same woman. More often >t<here have been a progression of wives or husbands, it is true, and Meighen was married young. At that, this marriage veteran fiaa some good Ideas â€" "love Is only a part of marriageâ€" let women talk If they want to â€" faith is the cornerstone of marriage-â€" a wise woman will be a sympathetic listenerâ€" pick a womau vvlth a sense of humorâ€" and with tol- erance." Whatever your calling may be, those are good linos to remember (London Advertiser) The death of William N. Yere.x in this city, at the age of 97, recalls a past era the pre-typewriter age when penmanship was prized and practised. And old resident reminds us that in the last century there were three renowned exponents of the art in Western Ontario, J. W. Westerveit and W. N. Yerex, of London, and D. Mcl.achlan, of Chatham. They wrote beautifully at all times, and ornately for special occasions. Examiiles of their work were shown regularly at the Western Fair, and their pens were in demand for the illuminated addresses so popular in those days. Each founded a business college at which penman- â- ship had a first place in the cur- riculum and was taught according to system. Hundreds today in business life owe their neat script to the in- struction of these three chirograph- ers. Not so much attention is paid to handwriting in this age because for nearly all busine.ss purposes the pen has been superseded by the typewrit- sT, just as in many spheres of art and industry the machine is increas- ingly doing the work of the human hand. Handwriting is highly individual and it is true that each person tends to form a distinctive style, but this, is not inconsistent with legibility,' though many seem to think there is some virtue in obscurity, especially | in a signature. Even captains of in- dustry and bank presidents, signing important documents continually, write their own signatures so badly that they take the precaution of hav-l ing their names typed as well. There is still merit in neat pen- manship, and clear legible writing is: always a pleasure to the eye. It is| also some recommendation for ai young man or woman seeking a situ-! alion, though too many do not think so, and the schools are not nearly so exacting on this point as they used to be.
