Marked Down for Killing "The Foreign Secretary asked me if there was qne man in the whole of the British Intelligence whom I felt was competent to get the lowâ€"down on the truth or untruth upon which might rest the future security of this country," Bellamy had wound up, speaking with a seriousness which was at once as imâ€" pressive as it was unusual with him, "and I gave him your name. He said he would like to see you himself, but I replied there was no need; I would put the situation to you and I was confident e£ what answer you would give . . . . Wait a moment, my boy," he had gone on, as the younger man had seemed about to make a comment; "if you bring this cffâ€"and I‘m not attempting to deny that it will be a terribly difficult proâ€" positionâ€"then I will give wour wife a solemn promise that I will never call on you again. Now, what do you say?" "Good evening, gentlemen," he purâ€" red. "I hope you are enjoying yourâ€" selves?" Bellamy was the one to answer. "Very much," he replied; "oh, my boy," turning to Tiger, "you ought to know this gentleman; he‘s Monsieur Ludx, once of Luxembourg, but now manager of the Three Graces." As he spoke, his foot touched his companion‘s beneath the table. Tiger played up. "Delighted!" he drawled; "from Luxemibourg, ch? That must be :an interesting place, M. Ludx; I wonder you ever left it." The rosy face spilt itself into a smile.

The answer was provided by the fact that Standish was sitting at that cornâ€" ertable at that very moment. A man, whose noticeably rosy face looked oddly at contrast with the mephitic atomsphere, sidled up to them. "Farm! You look as much like a farmer as my uncle here," indicating Bellamy, "looks like a gas inspector." M. Ludx smiled for the second time. "I should have said to the farm I hope to return to," he replied; "all my forebears were farmers." QOQWWWOW“O“WMO“MOQQ 44444 %4¢%¢% 000: With that, and yet another smile, he bowed himself away.

"The rummy thing about that cove is that I feel certain I know who he is although I‘ve never met him before How do you account for that?" "Ask n;e something easier," was the reply. "Wha‘s the matter, Tiger?" asked Bellamy, in a low tone; "why are you fidgeting?" | "Because," was the answer, "I feel exactly like a dog that‘s run across a strange and horrible smell. Who is that fellow?" he went on sharply. "I daresay he is," agreed Bellamy; "but that‘s for you to find out; it was one of the reasons I brought you along here tonight." g Standish continued to be abstracted. At the end of at least five minutes‘ soliloquy with himself, he said: "B, if I told you what was in my mind, you‘d send me to join that poor old coot, Lablonmde. in the mental home!" "Tell me, all the same." "Not yet: I want to verify it first," was Standish‘s reply. STANDISH REMEMBERS sSOMETHING With that, he appeared to cast off the equivalent of dull care and yielded himâ€" self to the joy of the hour. He was interested to hear Bellamy‘s comments on many of the notabilitiee present; and his eves shone when he saw Herr Greisner come in accompanied by A spectacular blonde.

Tiger grinned; the Ronâ€" stadtian scowled.. ‘"How are you?" inquired Standish, and waved a hand. "Who was that man?" asked the londe, a minute later. "Someone I hope shortly to kill," was the reply. "HMHow saal" commented the latest recruit to the Ronstadtian Secret Serâ€" vice in London; "I thought him quite interesting. Do you wish me to get to know him?" After Bannister had straightened himself up, the pipe he had been holdâ€" ing fell out of his hand. CHAPTPR XXITI TIGER‘S LAST JOB Kuhnreich, the Dictator of Ronstadt was a incalculable being. Possesqed of an abnormal brain, the use of which he devoted to one cbject, and one obâ€" ject onlyâ€"the insatiable pursuit of perâ€" sonal powerâ€"he frequently startled even the most favoured members of his Inner Council by breaking off one proâ€" ject, on which for months he had placâ€" ed great store, and ordering that an entivrely new policy should be started, even, as sometimes happened, at the expense of the old. "No!" was the ungracious retort; "I will attend to him myself." jumped to his feet. "Benny!" he called, and Bannister burst in from the servants‘ quarters. "Lor‘ lumme, guv‘nor!" he protested, "‘ave a ‘eart! You nearly made me upset my beer! Wot‘s the matter?" "Benny, have you ever known a man to have two separate and dGdistinct faces?" Bannister looked at him in fresh perâ€" plexity. "You‘re not seein‘ snakes or red ‘ot elephants or anythin‘ like that, as well, I ‘spose, guv‘nor?" "There is one wayâ€"and only one wayâ€"in which we can hope to sucâ€" ceed," he declared. "No, Benny, but toâ€"night I sawâ€" come here; T‘ll whisper it." It was after studying exhaustive reâ€" ports from every other European country, that at exactly five minutes past midnight one night he called for his Foreign Minister. Tiger kissed his wife tenderly. "I know exactly how you feel, my sweet, but I had to tell youâ€"and Belâ€" lamy has promised faithfully this shall be my last jobâ€"my very last!

The conference between the two lastâ€" ed for several hours. "A great deal depends on it," was the grave reply. "How long will you be away?" "I can‘t say; I may not have to leave London: B. thinks the thing is being hatched here." "But you won‘t be at home?" "No: I shan‘t be at home, the fact is that, directly I leave here now, I must disappear. Courage, my sweet." Her tears were hard for him to see, but she quickly dried them. "All right darling," she said; "I won‘t try to keep you‘ And then, because she did not wish him to see the agony she could not keep out ef her face, she turned and ran from the room. "Can I come in?" he enquired, and when had been given, he added reproachingly: "May you be forâ€" given, guy‘nor!" ‘"Shut your face! ordered.

But he grinned as he uttered the words. First to anncunce his candidacy in the fortheoming municipal election, in December of this year, was exâ€"Counâ€" cillor Herbert Warren.

Canada‘s 2 War Loan I committed myself to running for the 1941 council and I certainly intend to do so. If you would care to make that fact public then, by all means, do so." Asked about his campaign, Mr. Warâ€" ren said that it was a little early for commitment on that point. He was, he said,. weli known in Timmins. The electors knew what he could do without him making any promises. Mr. Warren was a member of the town council in 1939. He was elected by acclamation following the resignaâ€" tion of three of the members elected to the 1989 council. It will be recalled that following election to the 1939 ecuncil, Counicllors Brunette, Cousins and Roberts resigned from office. The statement they made public at that time gave as their reason the fact that they could not work with Mayor Bartleâ€" man and Councillors Armstrong, Mceâ€" Neil and McCabe. After the resignation the candidates who intended to run in the byâ€"election he!d a meeting and chose three of their number to be elected by acclamation. One of those chosen was Mr. Warren. Mr. Warren ran for council in 1939 but was defeated.
