Now the whole significance of the case she could make out against him was neatly turned against her. PEGGY TELEPHONES HOME ‘She lived on the edge of the moor, convenient for collecting aeroplane shipments without attracting attention; she frequented markets from which distribution would be easy; she had come alone and unobtrusively to house which was obviously under obâ€" servation; and she was in possession â€" ccnvenient phraseâ€"of a considerable quantity of dangerous drugs. All that would take some explaining away, and it was no use shutting her eyes to it. Her story, told patly as it would be told, might get her a reputation for inâ€" genuity .rather than one for hones‘ly. Still, her parents had both of them seen the mysterious girl, and heard her commission accepted. Better, perhaps, if they had not been her parents; but they could not be altogether disâ€" counted. Peggy felt no embarrassment at the covert stares of the taxiâ€"driver; she was too angry, and too busy with what she had to say to the authorities, to care very much what anyone thought even if she had been given to attaching very much importance to other people‘s opinions of her. She sat silent, because it was useless now to talk until she could talk to the person who mattered, Her last glimpse of No. 3, Church Pold, the superintendent at Abbotsbridge. was from the rear window of the taxi, and seen with the eyes of a prisoner and a victim, no matter how temporary the place looked even uglier than it had looked when first she found it. There was no accident about all this, as she could guess; it was no mistak®e on anyone‘s part. She had been delibâ€" erately sent here to fall into the hands of ‘the police, upon serious charge, and with 2every prospect of a convicâ€" tion; she had been trapped in this way solely because she had made herâ€" helf a nuisance to the man in the grey cad. Because she had looked like being a danger to him, if he did not first beâ€" come a very real danger to her. As he had done to some tune. On this point he ventured no opinâ€" ion; and the constable returning just then with his hardlyâ€"won taxi, out of the house marched Peggy with her esâ€" cort, the serzeant now carrying the parachuted parcel and the packet which he had declared to be cocaine. thing in reply to the charge. In fact, speaking as a friend, I wouldn‘t, if I lwere you. Not yet. Not until you‘ve had time to think it over." ' "That‘s all right," said Persgy impaâ€" tiently. "I shan‘t have to think out what I‘ve got to say, and I‘m not likely to think better of it afterwards,. My story now will be my story later, beâ€" cause it‘s the simple truth. That parcel â€"â€"I found it on the mcorâ€"it‘s only a small part of a big consignmentâ€"so small that the collecting agent, when he was hardâ€"pressed, didn‘t even bother to look for it." She remembered that this would make a long and compliâ€" cated story out of it, and changed her mind about going into detail. "Never mind. I think PM tell it to your superâ€" intendent. It takes rather a long time. Where do we go from here?" "Abbotsbridge," said the sergeant; and the constable silently withdrew himself at a glance from his superior, to find, if such a thing was to be found in the wastes of the old town, taxi. "Well, it‘s going to be very awkward, I‘ve left a stall at the market in the charge of a boy who certainly isn‘t fit to be trusted with it, and a pony and a float at the Golden Bough. What‘s to be done about them?" "They can be taken care of," said the sergeant. ‘"We‘ll call in at the .local station, and you can communicate with your family from there. MWill they be abe to make arrangements to fetch back their belongings?" "I suppose so. be out of action said confidently. But of course I shan‘t very long myself," she ‘"You won‘t be hampered, at any rate, by any undue modesty," commented the superintendent drily. "But even so ... take it as admitted that you have every personal advantage, and no personal handicaps ... even so, what have you got? The devil of this business has been that nothinz has been let slip. Among nine out of ten gangs which have ever operated this sweet dop? racket, we could have named you most of the inside men; here we know noâ€" thing, except that the curious name of Mere Colibri is associated with the affair. That may be a person, as you suggest; it may be no more than a touchâ€"phrase, an â€"identification. At least and at most it‘s all we‘ve got." see, I never have been an ordinary lawyer. My light has been hidden unâ€" der a bushel, except to the men who know." "But seriously, Milne, what have you got to go no? You need a jumpingâ€"oif place for every sort of invesitgation, en with ‘the advantrage of being absolutely unknown to the underworld except as an ordinary lawyerâ€"â€"" "Officially, yes. That is what ine Force call it; that is what the profesâ€" sion call it; I could give it another name if I liked, butâ€"saving your preâ€" senceâ€"I won‘t. A strenuous sort of holiday, I imagine; but it‘s healihy that as few people as possible should know anything about that." "Tired of coming to judgment?" "I‘d rather like to bring some other people to judgment with me," said Peter warmly. He felt inside the top drawer of his friend‘s desk, and found a cigarette box; he had known it would be there. He was familiar with most of the secrets of that desk. Superintenâ€" dent Barker called him a lightâ€"~fingered legal humbug. Peter rolled his purâ€" loined cigarette between his lips, and requested, and was given, a light. except as an ordinary lawyerâ€"â€"" "If that," said Peter. ‘"Most people in London, say, wouldn‘t have the foggziest notion of what I do for my living. You "So," said Superintendent Barker, from the open window where he was earnestly trying to find a breath of fresh air, "so Daniel is to take a holiday." There was a remark made at the other end of the wire which it would not have been good for a policeman to hear, thouzh it brought a furtive grin to Peggy‘s lips. Mrs. Clarke had no opinion of the police since they had failed to trace the purloiner of two of her ducks. CHAPTER V PETER SHERWOOD MILNE Peéeter Sherwood Milne sat in Superâ€" intendent Barker‘s chair, and crossed his feet upon Superintendent Barker‘s desk. There wens> papers on the des‘t, but their presence did not awe him; he was well aware that nine out of ten of them were mere red tape, and that his friend was only too glad to have an exâ€" cuseâ€"a visit from Peter, in working hours, could hardly be justly described as anything so respectable as a reason â€"for shelving the whole lot of them for half an hour at least. It had been very unwise of the superintendent, of course, to vacate his chair, for it was the oniy comfortable one in the office, and he had now irrevocably lostâ€"it until Petex should depart. - Peggy hung up I‘m ready." And in a police car she set out fo Abbotsbridge. 4 It probably would be nothing of the sort, but it was useless admitting that, even to herself, "Can you remember it all? Just tell them that, anda get dad to come down for Sunny. Probably T‘]l be home as soon as he is, but you never know, and I wouldn‘t like to leave Berâ€" nard in charge all afternoon. Say, 11 tell them all about it when I come." @rin at the silent constable, who apâ€" peared to her human. "From the Police Station. That‘s the trouble. I‘m in a bit of a mess over a message I underâ€" tcok for a stranger this morningâ€" Never talk to strangers, Mrs. Clarke, this is what you get for it. No, it‘s not serious, but I have to go to Abbotsbridge to explain about how I got hold of it. It‘s the most unholy mixâ€"up, but once I get to someone sensible it will probably all be done with in five minutes." â€"Oh, he is going? Good!" She squared her shoulders, leaning forward upon her elbows on the desk which carried te telephone. "Listen! Don‘t alarm them, whatever you do, because there‘s no need; it‘s all too silly for words. The fact is, I‘ve had to leave the stali and Sunny to Bernard, and as I shan‘t be able to get back to them forâ€"well, for some hours, at leastâ€"I should be glad if dad would come down and take charge for the rest of the day. Where am I ringing from?" She cast a fleeting "Hullo, Mrs. Clarke!" she said, as she heard the familiar fat voice at thc other end of the line. "This is Pegsy Calder. Can you get a message up homs for me? Oh, as soon as you can, pleas> If Jack goes up with the milk lorry The drive to the Police Station, which she had planned to come rathor different circumstances, w mercifully short, They halted the only in order that she could ring u,. nct her parents, for there was no tel phone at Mcor Warrenâ€"but the Rid Farm, whence a message would alwa willingly be taken. The sergeant stay beside her as she spoke, ready, she w sure, to pounce upon any word whi mizht have a double meaning, thou: he never interfered. "All right, let‘s go uch A mistake often made is to use .i foods to "irritate" the lazy bowel causâ€" ing the constipation, whereas the nerves and muscles are already so acâ€" tive and tense that they partially close the bowel instead of opening it. The treatment consists in calming and reassuring the patient, pointing out that there is no organic troublsâ€" cancer, ulcer, tuberculosisâ€"but that all the symptoms are due to nervousâ€" ness, tiredness, and the use of coars» foods, laxatives, and enemas.

The constipation and fatulence are present in 90 per cent of cases, Dr. E. P.

"These people, whoever they are, are definitely Class A on brains.

The amount of traffic on No. 11 Highway north of North Bay is not sufficiently jlarge to interfere with the business life of any of the towns referred to. Those in the north using the road require a highway leadâ€" a huge new bridge, and instead of crossin@ at the falls, missing the town cntirely; as for Huntsville and its beautiful scenic lakes, they may also be reached by diversion; the new bridge at Burk‘s Falls will be scrapped because it leads right up the main street at North Bay the road will swing sharply northwest before it reaches a point near the shore because the deâ€" partment doesn‘t favor highways passâ€" ing in front of schools or over railway tracks., "There is one proposal of the Deâ€" partment of Highways that The Speaker does not favor, and that is the proposed new road that may be built from a point south of, GilKes to tis in with the North Road just north of New Liskeard. The reasons advanced by the Department in favor of passing by to the west of the three Temiskaming towns will not "hold water." It is said that the present trend of highways is to pass on the outskirts of all municipalities, Does that mean that No. 11 Highway is to be rebuilt from Toronto north for the entire stretch to Notrh Bay so that it will not pass through any town? Does it mean that such Muskoka tourâ€" ist towns as Gravenhurst, and Huntsville are also to have the main highways rebuilt near them so as to "pass them by?" If the proposal, that so seriously affects New Liskeard and its sister towns is to be taken as an indication of the policy that is to be adopted by the Department of Hishâ€" ways in regard to ALL towns on ALL main highways Ontario is in for a road building program the like of which has never been seen. We can picture in the future approaching Gravenhurst from the south, and just as we reach the gates taking a sharp angle turn and coming out somewhere on the Braceâ€" bridge road; at Bracebridge we see ‘"‘The prozram of the Department of Highways in this section of Northern Ontario appears to be one that will, when completed, give the Districts of Temiskaming and Cochrane a modern paved highway from Timmins to Toâ€" ronto, The work completed so far has been done in workmanlike manner, grades to a large extent have been cut down, dangerous curves eliminated and everything done to make the road as safe as is possible. There is doubt in the minds of the average individual whether or not the paving program has been carried out as rapidly as the road beds would allow, but whether or not this is so The Speaker is not prepared to say. The paving contracts undsr way indicate that the Departâ€" ment is proceeding as fast as it possibly can after taking all other matters into consideration. It is gratifying to learn that road construction below Temagami is proceeding which will bring this section up to the standard of the reâ€" mainder of the highway.
