"At least the Vullurfc's men can reach the aoro- dromes half-wwy from India." "And if tht-rt! is an accident at somo plac*! like Ba-sra or Batrdad which pre- vents the SynUix frv)m flying on, it Will not be an easy lo find nnothei- machine there as in Lcmdon," added lAicM. That niKht, Clynn Klliman travel- led comfortably down to Ribbleston, Bottling himself in ;;nd sleeping most of the way like an accustomed travel- ler. And in the compartment next to him, Max smoked cijfarettcs and dozed between them, but never fuilc<i to be awake and alertly on the watch at each slc^ppint; place to see that Glynn did not leave hi.s compartment. .^nd in the morning when Glynn de.-'cended at Ribbleston, Mux also dropixxl to the platform, keeping his back carefully to Glynn. When Glynn entenxl the station hotel, booke<i a room and sent his bag up to it. Max v/ao studying a tiine-table within ear- shot of the desk clerk ; while Glynn at« a. hearty breakfast at the hotel. Max saw him settled to it, watched the desk-girl go off t - hers, sauntered up to her relief, gave the number of Glyim'.s r<x)m and got his key, and t*-:» .ninutes later had been expertly through (ilynn's bag (with particular attention to his Passport) and had relumed his key to the de.sk. After breakfast, Glynn chartered a cab and drove to the aircraft factory on the outskirts of the town, with Max following at a discreet distance in anotJier cab. And while GljTin was being shown the new Syntax-Star, .Walking round and examining it care- fully, Max wa;; tclei)honing a lengthy but guarded report to Stefan and Michel in their room in I^ondon. Next day there were three lots of people connected with these events busy looking up particulars of air routes to India. Glynn, thoroughly delighted with the machine he had been trj'ing out that morning, was working out with the test pilot and manager of Hem- mings Aircraft Company such mat- ters as fuel capacity, -speed, range and distances between aciX)dTome;i from I/mdon lo Karachi. Stefan and his frierds, with less ac- curate facts of the machir.e'.s perfor- mance, but with sufficient for their purpose, were doing much the .same thing, and noting the likeliest places where an "'accident" could be most Usefully arranged for the machine or thi- pilot on (he way out â€" the wrecking of the pilot, as Michel ca.sually pointed out, Ixiing just as effective and per- haps more easy to accomplish than that of the machine. And the third party feverishly (unting out the places along the air route to Kaia^hi wa.« -Miss N'orali Seamen. On the Thursday, (Jlynn Klliman flew the .Syntax lo a Club aerodrome just outside I.<>ndoii, t^iok up the quai- t«^rs that had l>een arranged for him at the Club, an«i telephoned to leiwrl his arrival to the Prince's eijuerr;'. He also pointed out that he was nat- urally being asked a gtKKl many ijues- tions ub<tut the machine being there •ind suggested a little pai ngraph for the press which might s«itisfy the questioners without giving away any real purpose of the mwhine's purpose Uiere. Accordingly, a brief inAv appvart^l In the ev(«niiig oaiwrs to the effect that the new Syntajt had l)e<-n Umghl by a wealthy South African s|X)nsiiian and would probably be flown out to liim .soon by an exporieuced pilot who hwl been testing the machine. The camouflage however failed to dci-eive those ino&t interested in the destination of the Syntax. "It is a blind that might have succeeded" Ste- fan remarket! to Michel â€" "if we had not known that the pilot flying the machine had called at the Prince's hou.se just before taking the ti-ain to the factory." "There must l>e no slip in the watch kept on the Prince's house," said Michel. "No danger of that," said Stefan. "The latest reports are that he i.s still in bed with night and day nurses in attendance. If he is taken out, it will have to be in an ambulance, and we can't mL«w .seeing that. And another man watches the Club aercKli-ome where the machine waits." But on the same day a consultation was held at the Prince's hou.se which looked like up.st-tting all the careful plans of plotters and counter-plotters. The specialists had made a full ex- amination again, and after discussion had delivered their opinion from which nothing would move them. If the Prince were movtHl within a week, they .said, they would not be answXT- able for the consequences; and they would go further and s<iy that if he persisted in attempting the flight to India before then, he would almost certainly have to be removed from the plane before he got halfivvay, and would probably die in whatever hos- pital he found â€" if he were within reach of one at the critical stage. Aft«r they had gone, the Prince, exiusperated and almost exhausted by his fruitless arguments and pleadings, discussed the position with Sir .\ylmer, with the equerry and Secre- tary in attendance. "The re|>orts from Napalata grow .steadily worse," said the Prince. "Have you seen this cabled copy of the leaflets that are being sent round and displayed everywhere?" Sir Aylmer took the copy the Sec- retary handed him and read: "To the Priests and P<}opIe of Napalata. It is our law that the heir to a Prince who has died must proclaim himself in his capital within seventy days, that your eyes may behold his face and your ears b.earken to his voice and that so you may know him. One son of OUT late Prince is in Ix)ndon, injured, dying oc dead. The other son is here with his i>eople, and will pro- claim himself on the Day of The Feast. Ho being the only lawfully proclaimed Prince, will then reign and will give rewards to his friends and punishments to his enemies." Sir Aylmer handed back the copy, and shook his head. "There was another leaflet," said the Prince, "deriding the report that 1 might be able to fly. Now, it it has to be told that I cannot do so, it must even weaken those who have supported me so loyally up to now." "Would it not be possible, Your Highness that the Briti.sh Govern- ment could act?'' aske<l the Secielary. "If it were officially publishe<l that the British and Indian Goveiiiments supported the claim of Your Highness, would it not weaken the hold of the other party?" "I'm afraid," struck in Sir .Xylmer hurriedly, "I'm afi-aid that cannot be done. I have already raised the ques- tion privately, and am assui-od, pri- vately but authoritatively, that our Government cannot interfere. The whole matter is one of the laws of Napalata, and the voice of the priests and people. There is no prc<'edent for British interference with the do- nujstic affaii-s of the State <>f Napa- lata." "There is precedent foi' the fire and slaughter that will a-ssuredly come on the Day of the Feast," said the Prince Krlmly. "And for Brltislt Imyont'ts be- ing called in lo ri'store peace and law â€" as after the Moplah rising." "I see nothing foi" it," sjiid Sir Ayl- mer d<»ipairingly," but to fall back on the other »uggi'slion â€" that you make your pmclamation here in the presence of witnes.ses who will sign and swear tu it. Then send the swoi-n copies out by air." "They would be discredited and dis- bi'lieved as the official" re port* have been," said tlie Prince wearily. "And r.o proclamation made here would b« within the la'v of Napatala. Itead again what the .eaflets said on that The Secretary lifted it and nJowly read the extract â€" " .... mui>t proclaim him.self in his capital within seventy days, that your eyes may behold him and your ears may hear his voice, and that so you may know him." Out of the silence that followed, the voice of the e<iuerry broke sharply, excitedly â€" "Highness, Sir Aylmerâ€" I believe I have it. It might fail, but it's â€" it's a chance." "True," said the Prince quietly. "You have that English saying about a drowning man and a straw. Speak out." •'A film â€" a talkie!" cried the equerry. "Make your proclamation on a talking film, send it out by air, and let the people .see and hear it." "A talk film," said the Prince, and laughed shortly. "Truly, I have often cur.scd the evil they have brought to India. It woulu be co.al.j of fire if now they !ieli>cd me. Can such a thing be done â€" the film be m;wle in time?" "It â€" it is most â€" I mean," situtterod Sir Aylmer, "I don't think there is any prectnlent â€" I mean â€" is there?" The Prince laughed again. "There is never a precedent until one is set, yet many have been set." . "It can be done in time most cer- tainly," said the equerry, answering the Prince's quo.'tion. "A hor.se race that is run in the afternoon is .sliown on the screens of the theatres the same evening." The Prince repeatedly softly the words of the Law â€" "that your eyes may behold his face and your ears may hear his voice, a!.d so you may know him for your Prince." "But â€" but^â€" is it your face, your voice?" said Sir Aylmer, still in rather shocke<l tones. "I mean wiould itâ€" from a film â€" be held legal in the Courts?" But now the Prince wa^ chuckling. "It is an excellent question â€" and the argument for and against it being within the law will assuredly keep the people busy â€" perhaps until I can ride at the head of my troops to settle it. But argument follows the cause of it. At least we provide the cause. It is enough. See to it, quickly."

Mr. Smith had been the president of the Miners' Federation and w-as "Ahr 'Erb" to a million miners. It was a nickname of proprietorship, for Mr. Smith was a pit-boy before he was ten His child- hood was spent in some of the bitter- est poverty in the country including the workhouse. Now In his seventies, he is sudi a man as only Yorkshire can produce. IIo is grim, gniff, blunt, downright and decided. In a cloth cap and niufller, with a deadly pipe slung be- tween his teeth, he is a vast bulldog of a man with the temper of an auto- crat and the thick brogue of the West Riding of Yorkshire. A man who says what he means and means what he say.". At luncheon in Hainsley. tlie Prince sat with the Mayor on one side of him, Mr. Smith on the other, and a I Barnsley chop before him. (Tlie fame of Barnsley chops is duo to tlieir size; as they weigh a pound and 11 (luarter, only two of them can be cut from one sheep.) Unemploy- ment and the slums were the sole subjects at tlio lunclieon. When the speOclies began it was .Mr, Smith, one of t.lio oldest, hardest and greatest of British trade union leaders, who proposed tlie Prince's healtli. Heaving liiniself to his feet with something of tlie massive effect of a heavy howitzer getting into position, he talked of tlie hope with wliicli Ills class looks to the Prince. Ho ended with his stolid peroration: "I had a long conversation with your dear mother and father at Buck- ingham Palace â€" and I have not for- Kotten it.

Teach Children Meaning of Order Youngsters With Proper Training May Do Much to E^se Burdens of Busy Mother The other day a little fellow was at our house and sat up at the table to dine. We had no high chair, having passed ours along, so he had to be bol- stered up with two green pillows from the living-room. Perhaps you won't believe us when we tell you that this baby of two years and four months slid down when he'd finished his cereal and baked ap- ples, allowed his napkin to be untied and then gathered up his pillows and marched them back to their accustom- ed place without a word or suggestion from any one. Every one was surprised, but his mother said, "He does that at home. If I tell him to clear up his nursery he pushes his little table and chairs back to the wall, puts his toys all In a cor- ner and lays the odds and ends In a pile on the couch. I don't have to tell him now, or name each piece. He picks things up like a grown person." "How in the world did you ever teach him?" every one wanted to know. Result of Training. In the first place she Is what we call a "merry" mother. She has a habit of making a game out of every- thing. Another custom of hers is to Bay ""we" instead of "you" and work- ing "with" him. The little fellow has been trained to all sorts of things without knowing he was being trained. And that's more than half the battle. This idea ot making a game ot a number of things was used to advant- age by a friend of ours. Her little girl for some unknown reason tired of milk and was drinking far less than the doctor ordered. The mother wor- ried about it and the doctor suggested giving the child mill: in the form of a flavored malted beverage. This, too, the child refused, asking for water in- stead. However, mother got a bright idea one day. They were playing train and mother announced that it would soon he time for the "man who sells drinks" to come around. There- upon she left the room, returning a lew minutes later wearing a man's liat. and carrying two glasses of the milk drink the doctor said the child should have. "Nice drinks." she called, "ten cents each. Who wants one?" "I do," said her little daugh- ter, and mother ' handed her a drink and protended to collect the ten cents. The child drank the milk down sweetly, while mother also partook of the sani? beverage. After playing this game a few times, the little girl became so fond of the drink that she began ask- ing for it of her own accord. But about children clearing up af'er themselves. We see children of twii, four, six, eight, twenty, forty, and eighty who have never learned to pid; up ft thing after they've dropped it or put things right after they've dropped It or put things ri>;ht after they've been distiiibed. It isn't their fault. A child has lo be taught. When he is ten it's too late. When he's eight, or even si.x, it's almost too late. Neatness must ho absorbed with the milk in a nurs- ing bottle. When children are two or three the should hav" some Idea of o'' der. Moreover, (hey need not always he waited on. It is absohitely amazing to see the things some children of two and a half or three can do for them- selves. Wash and dress themselves, and feed tliemselves â€" it not perfectly, at least enough to h?lp out on a busy day â€" and even bathe themselves. Tiicy can put on their own wraps and over- shoes, too. Tying shoes and bulliming hard bin- tons will he more difllcult. It takes the smartest child some time to loam to lie a how or even a knot. Buttons will be inaslered first. However, the principal thing for a mother to realize Is that little children are not helpless. The can be taught to ease her hiirdeii, to help keep the house in order. If she will only take time lo leach tiieni. EGGSWANTED We P*y Top Prices For Eggs. Write For Our Weekly Quotation*.

Mystery Surrounds Russian Women's Army What is the mystery about Russia's women soldiers? According to a London news agency battalions of women soldiers In Soviet Russia are udergoing strenuous train- ing in a general drive to weld the Red Army into a more eflicient fighting unit. "The women soldiers are drilled In exactly the same way as the men," th report stated, "but they are not con- scripted for service, their battalions being entirely composed of volun- teers. "It is fairly well known that there are several battalions of infantry, ar- tillery and sappers composed entirely ot women." But another newsagency stated that they had been unable to confirm the e.xistence of wome; troops in the Soviet armies. And an ofliclal of the Soviet Em- bassy told the London Sunday Chron- icle that he had no knowledge about the alleged Soviet women battalions. He could neither deny nor confirm their existence. "All I know I read in the papers.' he added. Modish Creations For The Bathroom A well outfitted bathroom makes the daily bath a real joy. And, speaking of "outfitted," we don't mean fixtures ot shining metal or landscapes on the walls, but things you use when you take a bath-. Huge cakes ot soap are really more economical than those of medium size. And they're much more fun to use. Rough wash cloths and a long handled bath brush should always be hanging within reach of the i>erson who is tak- ing a bath. Bath ensembles assure you ot non- confiicting perfumed odors. If. your soap and bath salts arc the same scent as your bath powder, the effect will be more pleasing. The same la true of toilet water. Many prefer toilet water to bath powder, and others use both. But tor the sake of your guests it is a good idea to have a little jug of toilet water in the guest bathroom. Bath oil some- times takes the plac^ of bath salts. A ' few drop.? ot It soften and perfume the hardest water. Why not invest some of your beauty budget money in bathroom luxuries 1 and see for yourself how pleasant the daily bath may be?
