CHAPTER I.â€" (Cont'd.) Twenty minutes later Glynn wa.s beinfc shown in to the manager at the Airways office. "Afternoon, Elliman," said the man- agt-r waving to a chair. "Sit down. Have a cigarette? I suppose you're wondering why we hauled you off your run at the la,sl niinute?" "I wa.s wondering if it was anything Id do with that Prince fellow that's talking of flying to India," .said Glynn casually, taking a cigarette. "Good lord!" exc'uiuK'd the manager In .startled tones. "What put that in your head? Ha.s anybody said any- thing?" "Only the newspapers," said Glynn ralnily. "They've got a yarn that it's rumored the Prince wants to fly. I know the routes to India. I .speak Hindustani, and Pm pulled off my regular job in a great hurry. Putting |:wo ami two together, that makes four â€"or mayV>e I'm making it look lik'.; â- Jl the fours possible." "If that's i.U, it doesn't matter," Kvid the managci with a distinct air of relief. "But let's get this clear fir.->t of all â€" this business is the most complete and east-iron hush-hush. You'll be given a holiday from Air- ways while you're on it, and you'll draw treble pay and a present at the end if you do it well. But you must give me your word not to tell a living soul what the business is, where you »re going, what you ai-e doing until I say you may. Can I count on that implicitly?" "Why, certainly," said (!lynn read- ily, and then as he suddenly remember- ed his promi.se to ttdephone, he added, "But if you don't mind, I'd say the best plan is for you to tell me nothing more until the job starts. Just leave it that I'm U> .stand by foi- orders that may come at any time. 'J'hen if any- thing leaks elsewhere you'll know it was not through me." "Perhai)s that's best," .said the man- tLgcr thoughtfully. "And it may .save you straining your conscience or your powers of invention if you're asked questions. .So here is all you need to know meantime' â€" get your kit together ftr a two or tlir<>e-day stay out of town, i.nil ring me at my home num- ber at eight tonight for further in- itructions. That clear?" "Quite clear," said Glynn simply. "Take this cash then," said the mai'iager opening a drawer and taking out an envelope. "You may need it for fares and hotels. Ju.st sign the receipt for it, will you?" Glynn took the envelope, and scrib- bled his name on the receipt form. "That'., all then," spid the manage" briskly. "Oh, one thing more â€" unless you have one of your own you'd prefer, you'd bettor take this." From the open drawer he lifted out a small automatic pistol and pushed it across the desk. Glynn picked it up, looked at it, and handed it back. "I'll get out my own," he said, adding with a mildly enqui,ing look in his eye, "if it's likely to be needed?" "You're getting treble pay," .said the manager significantly. Glynn grinned happily at him. "And that takes earning these days," he amended, "But I don't mind owning thut the chance of earning it by ways out of the usual is one better than getting it." "Which i.>5 one rea.son why I picked you specially," said the nuinagcr, and ro.se, holding out his hand. CHAPTER II. AlK>ut seven that evening Glynn telephoned Norah .Seaman as he had arranged. His call was anrwered al- most on the first ring, and he gues.sed rightly that it was the girl herself who aniywcred him. "It's Miss Sea- man speaking. Is that you. Captain Ellim^.?" "Yes," he answered. "You have a gooil oar for a wnca to recognize mine .â- Â«> (juickly." He heard her laugh lightly. "Part- ly recognizing it, and partly becau.sc 1 exjiecttHl you. Well, any news?" "Not a thing," he told her, "except that it evidently i.>*n't that job we guesse<i at. I'm shunting off out of town tonight, probably, but expect to Ik" back in a few days." "It certainly can't be India if you're to l;e back in days," she answered. "I hope it isn't a t'rtsome jouniey for you?" There was the hint of a question in her tones, an<i he answeretl it at once. "Don't even know where I'm goinir yet. My boss is to tell me this even- ing, later." "More and more mysteriouser," she laughed. "Almost .sounds like the Orient after all," "Oh, no," he a.ssured her. "It's all ir. the day's work for us to get cha-scd off on hush-hush jobs to look over .some new type of bus or engine or something. I'd guess it's something of the sort."

And I'm goinK to »e« you again as soon as possible after that." "All right," she agreed. "But rem- ember if it should turn out to be Imiia aft^-r all, I'll exjMsct you to tell me all about it," Aftei ho had fiiii.'ihed their talk he liutig up the re<'civer and stood thoughtful for a moment. "Wonder why she's .so keen alxiut news of that Napalata biz?" he wonderj^l to him- self, "nowing his country a bit, I sup- pose, and intere.sted in the local gos- sip of it. Oh, ..ell " He put his other call through at eight o'clock and again was an.swered promptly this time, by the manager of .Mrwaj-s. The instructi<ms he got were brief to a point of curtness â€" to take a cab to a house of which he got the address and where he "would be expected and admitted on giving his name, to take what orders were given him there, and ca.-ry them out without question. "Nj need to report any further to me, Elliinan," the manaer finished. "Y'ou're officially on holiday now, and I'll be told about it as aiui when you're reporting back again. Good night, now, and good luck." "Certuinly fCets mysteriouser, as that girl .said," reflected Glynn as he hung up. "Taking orders from a man I don't even know the name of, or anything about except his house num- ber and sti-ect. But at least it's out of the routine, with treble pay tacked on, and that's goo<l enough." At the hou.se of which he had got the address, a close and anxious dis- cussion was then in progress. On a big bed in th} dimly lit room, the Prince of Napa'ata lay, his head and shoulders slightly raised on the pil- lows behind him. Seated, at one side of the bed were two very famous spe- cialist surgeons, and facing them on the other side of the bed sat a man known to the surgeons as high in the confidential affairs of the Government and of India. He was speaking slowly and deliberately. "His Highness wished me to meet you here, so that I could give you my asu ranees in addition to his that it is of serious importance â€" the most grave importance â€" that he should be flown to India at the earliest possible date." "Within a week from now," added the Prince, with his eyes on the sur- geons' faces. "I fear it is impossible to promise that," said the one quietly; and the other added, "I take it the importance of getting to India is less than the importance of preserving the Prince's life?" "Sir Aylmer here may tell you it is perhaps of less importance that I live if I am not in my palace in the next two weeks or so," said the Prince. "Hardly that," said Sir Aylmer. "Yet grave enough. You have both heard of the rumors being spread through Napalata, and the dangers of riots and outbreaks being stirred up. The most dangerous lie is that the Prince is dying â€" without hope of re- covery â€" and that when he dies it is planned to put an impostor in his place." "But surely," .said the one surgeon, "our word, as specialists, quote<l by such an authority as Sir Aylmer, should silence such rumors." The Prince laughed shortly. "Y'ou do not know the Ea.st, gentlemen, nor the rooted belief in the i)owers of Princes â€" and of bribery." "It is true," cut in Sir Aylmer quickly, as he saw a look of distc\.ste on one of the faces opposite. "My own official cables and reports have been discredite<l." "Most curious," murmured one sur- geon, and the other shook his head in puzzled agreement. "Of course," said Sir .\ylmer slowly and with a side glance at the Prince, "there is an influence in Napalata. . .'' "My own half-brother," exploded the Prince. "No use mincing words, gentlemen. My half-bixrther â€" the Vulture, as they have rightly named him. He aspires to my father's royal .seat, and if I am not there to check him is like to .seize it, unless my troop- ers' swords are strong enough to deny him." "An<l that means riot, bloodshetl, civil and religious war," adde«l Sir .Aylmer quietly. "It might mean an- other outbreak like Moplah, and wor.se. This is why my Government, and the India Government is so urgent to get the Prince out to_ Napalata." The surgeons glanced at each other again. "In a fortnight from now, it is jusit pos.sible the Prince might risk travelling, but I see no liope tiefore," said one, and the other added briefly, "Nor I." "In sixteen days from now, the gut- ters will be running blood," said the Prince ."iteadily, "unless 1 am there." "The law of Nap^ata," explained Sir Aylmer, "is that the heir to a Prince who has diini must proclaim himsi'lf in his capital within seventy days. The seventieth day as it hap- pens, is the day of an important reli- gious festival- -one on w-hich every year theiV i Distinctive Quality Fresh from the Gardens Henry VIII Documents Found in Old Chest The discovery c" important Henry VIII. documents at the home of an elderly widow, Mrs. J. Smith, of Oundle, Northamptonshire, England, was described recently at the Coi ference of the Britiih Records As-so- ciation in London by Miss Jane A ake. Secretary of the Northamptonshire Records Society. Mrs. Smith, while showing ili.ss Wake round her house, opened an enorinous chest full of documenti dat- ing from the Seventeenth Century and relating to numerous Midland, East- ern and South-irn Counties. 'We searched through thfi pupers, making a record," said Mi.-s Wake, "and found among tham the King Henry VIII. documents, which fill a gap in the records relating to the King. They were accounts of bailiff.;, farmers and other ministers of man- ors 'to the Lord King.' HYDE PARK. "They related to Middlesex, Hack- ney, 'Chelsey,' Westminster, Hyde Park, the Manor of Tieburn, the Manor of Stan well, 'bought of Lord Wynd.sor at Michaelmas, 1542.'"

"The archives which we are now preserving are the means of illustrat- ing the life and the history of the simple people who have gone before, as well as the great deeds which hav been done in the past." London's Tiniest House A house which, it is said. Sir James Barrie had in miud when he described the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darling In "The Little White Bird," is wedged between two tall mansions in Hyde Park Place. It has a tiny front door and its num- ber is 10, like the Prime Minister's in Downing Street! It is six feet wide and about twenty feet long, and inside It contains a tiny entrance hall, one room on the ground floor, and two more above.

P. Jackson, M.O.H. The report, aualy:.iu,, vital statistics for 1933, listed the following deduo- tions from the year's records: A general death rate of 10.5, slight- ly lower than that for 1932 (10.6) and close to the lowest rates on record 10.3 iu 1924 and 1925. Exceptionally low rates for diph- theria, both as to the number of cases reported and the number of deaths from the disease. Further reduction In the low ratei for tuberculosis established in 1932. The all time low rate for iufa-jt naor tality, set up in 1932, "praiitlealli maintained." No deaths from measles or iafantih paralysis. No reported cases of smallpox o', sleeping sickness. No epidemic from any cause o major importance. Lowest birth rate on record. Increase over 1932 in death rate oi women iu childbirth, but 1933 ratt approximately same as average foi past five years. New low rates for a number ol causes of death, particularly those to which public health efforts were spe cially directed. If the 1929 death rate of 11.8 had prevailed in 1933, Dr. Jackson points to climb a narrow iron ladder. The out, deaths here last year would have front door not only has a number, but I been 800 more in nu.aber.

Even Chaplin himself could not rival the merry mouse in his new job. writes Tit-Bits (London), for Mi'.;kcy is actually helping specialists to cor- rect errors of vision in children at a famous London eye hospital. Among the latest equipment used for rectifying faulty sight is an appar- atus for correcting squints. The child has to look through two lenses in front of which are two slots In which coloured plates, similar to lantern slides, are fitted. Both plate are ex- actly the same and have on them pic- tures of Mickey Mouse in various comic attitudes. At first the child sees two separate pictures, but, slowly, the plates are moved about until the child sees the two pictures merged into one. This merging has the effect of making both eyes concentrate on the same spot, thus correcting the squint. The treatment, in its early stages, is a strain oil the muscles of the eye, but the hospital authorities declare that the child does not notice this in his excitement at seeing the pictures of Mickey. also a letter-box, yet neither knocker nor bell. No one has lived there for some time, but when a well-known doctor lived next door he always kept the house fresh-looking with green paint, curtains to its one window, and gay flower-boxes on its sill. It is said that sixty years ago a maiden lady, who lived at No. 9, built it for a retired maid. Miniature furni- ture was made to fit. But nurses who take their charges to Kensington Gar- dens, the haunt o£ Peter Pan, tell them that once upon a time a queer old dwarf with a smiling face lived there; he used to run out of the house on the stroke of midnight and play by himself in Broad Walk!

In regard to diphtheria, the number of cases reported was only 56, con- trasting sharply with the total of 1,022 in 1929. In the sat"o period the num- ber of deaths was reduced fro- â-  64 to 5. No dec.ths took place of any person protected by toxoid immunization, he said, and the reduction in cases ee- ported could be traced to the immuni- zation campaign. Dr. Jackson deepi; regretted the in- crease in maternal mortality, but fear- ed that a factor in the increase was the reportedly increasing frequency of abortions, particularly those self-in- duced. Of the maternal deaths report- ed here last year, he said 25 per cent. were from abortions and half of these were probably self-induced. He be- lieved that many maternal deaths ro ported due to puerperal septicaemi! were traceable to abortious. Manchuria's weights and measurec are being standardized.
