Now it was Sturm‘s turn. ‘"Yes, that is the best way of looking at it," observed the Minister for Proâ€" paganda in a tone of piety; "for what man, being sane, would so far invoke the wrath of God as to try to injure our beloved Chieftain?" As all the world knew of the secret antagonism between the Minister for Propaganda and the Minister for Air, Grosber was not divulging any great confidenceâ€"but how the coarse referâ€" ence this conflict for power: rankled with the Minister for Propaganda was shown by the flush that appeared on Sturm‘s pallid cheeks. "You always had a keen sense of humour,. «urusber," he said in a voice that he tried to keep well under conâ€" trol, "but I would remind you that if you have nothing more important to say than that, I happen to be very busy Just now." He pointed to his littered desk. Grosber burst into a roar of raucous laughter. "You‘re not directing a mass meeting now, Sturmâ€"well it will be damned funny to see how you and Heigel fight it out. I can say that with the utmost confidence," he went on ‘"because I know that whoever wins will want me to ‘be by his side?" A second roar of laughter filled the room. "Oh. I won‘t keep you for more than another few minutes," returned the garrulous Grosber: ‘unly I was interâ€" Tis thin, almost aeshetic face set in immovable lines, Sturm waited without making any comment. Grosber, whose weakness it was at times of stress, to imbibe rather more freely than a man in his position probably should have done, had called with the obvious inâ€" tention of talking frankly. The Minâ€" ister for Propaganda, who was not only a vegetarian, but a staunch teetotaller watched him with a covert look of disâ€" dain. This was so carefully masked that the garrulous Grosber apparently did r>t notice it. "I must say," continued Grosber, "that I have a certain sympathy with don‘t misunderstand me, my dear Sturm," he continued quick‘y, as though realizing that a very terrible significance might be placed upon his remark; I"merely meant that if ever a man was faced with the labours of Hercules, it was the departed Chanâ€" cellor of the Exchequer,.

At deast, that is what the dectors are saying. It may be a chariâ€" table conclusionâ€"who knows?" "We must be prepared for the worst, my dear Sturm," said the Chief of the Secret Police as he sat down and lit a black cigar. "What will happen to some of us in that sad event, I scarcely like to contemplateâ€"the real tussle for power will be between you and Heigel, of course," he went on as though statâ€" ing a fact that admitted of no arguâ€" ment. ( Concluded from Thursday) Contrary to his expectation, Sturm did not dismiss him. With the result: he was present at a conversation which was to represent the biggest scoop that he had obtained since he had insinuated himself into the intimate service of a nation on whom Great Britain was keeping a very special eyve.

According to the information he had managed to telephone, the Ronâ€" stadt Secret Service had built up durâ€" ing the past six months a gigantic orâ€" ganization of agents in England which, at a given signal, would have got to work causing chaos and devastation in various directions; railway stations would have been‘destroyed, reservoirs poisoned, aerodromes fired and, generâ€" ally speaking, these men and women were to play merry hell generally. "Well, we shall know what to do now, and, what is more,. we can relieve the mind of the Prime Minister," comâ€" "I understand, Herr Sturm," replied Heinrich Grose most respectfully. ‘"Yes, a good deal of money would be saved in that direction," repeated the Chief of Secret Folice; "if you may reâ€" member, I was never very much in favour if it.

With England fully occupied in other directions, a good deal of useful work in blowing up railâ€" way stations and poisoning reservoirs might have been done . . . but to tell you the truth, Sturm, I never had much faith in Von Staltheimâ€"neither did I have much confidence in his theory that England could be stampeded.

He listened for a few moments and then turned to Peter Renton. "Take this in shorthand, Rentonâ€" it‘s a code call from Pe. It sounds like Peter‘s voice."

And, of couse, the fact that the Chieftain was assassinated by a man who had gone insane trying to save his country from national bankâ€" ruptcy will tell heavily in their favour. By the way," he broke off, ‘"if I may venture to make a suggestion, a good deal of money could be saved by calling off that sabotage plot in Englandâ€"don‘t you agree?"

"In case you have forgotten the fact, I‘m quite good at being a bridesmaid," mischievously smiled the girl in the bed. That swine Laroche! He would see him in the morning and force the truth out of him. "Who‘s that muttering to himself?" called a voice, and then Peter went comâ€" pletely mad. "Sue, where are you, you little imp!" He tore into the second bedroom, and there, sitting calmly up in bed, was his longâ€"lost sister.

"Never like to speak until I am sure of my facts," was the answer. Before Renton could comment on this the telephone rang again. This time it was Scotland Yard. "Lellant speaking," said a wellâ€"known voice.

There will be genuine regret among North at the news from Toronto at many old friends in Timmins and the the weekâ€"end that James Heppleston had died in that city on Friday. Death was due to a heart attack that suddenly overcame him while he was at dinner with two friends in a downâ€"t>wn hotel. Medical aid was at once summoned, but he was beyond medical aid. The late James Heppleston was well known in the North, being a popular resident of Timmins for many years in the earliest days of the town. He was private secretary for A. S. Fuller during the years the latter conducted a brokerâ€" age business in Timmins, and when Mr. Fuller sold out to Hamilton B. Wills, Mr. Heppleston became manager of the Timmins branch. Later when the A. E. Moysey Co. took over the Hamilton B. Wills business Mr. Heppleston was conâ€" tinued here as the manager of the Timâ€" mins branch. His promotion was rapid with the Moysey firm and in a few vears he was making his way in the head office at Toront‘>, eventually being general manager of the company with a material interest in the business. In 1928 he was elected a member of the Standard ~Stock and Mining Exchange in Toronto. For the past four years he had been general manager of the firm of Rittenhouse and Hamilton, of Toronto. While in Timmins Mr. Heppleston, in addition to the keen interest he gave to mining, was an active follower of hocâ€" key, baseball and cther sports, and gave freely of his time and money for the benefit of these sports. In other public and semiâ€"public activitiese he proved himself a useful citizen of the town and of the North.
