Stefan and Max. who have Btaved behind, thlnklni? their work accompllBhed. learn by Mble that two coiile.s of the flim are ••rrli'd hv the Courier. Stefjin hires a two-seater machine and •«ts off hoivlPK to rateh the liner at Its •cxt halt. "Anil n nice cold beer and a smoke," •aid the pilot. Glynn left them and moved back to the smokinff saloon, hts hand resting •arele.ssly on the binocular case slung «t his right side. "I wonder," he was thinking, "I wonder if this has anything special to io with me and my courier job." He reached his place again as the Bachine began to tilt gently on its downward glide for the Rutbah Wells *4rome. "Nearly in," he said lightly, "we'll tovc a good hour to break any fast that remains unbroken." He leaned over and picked uP his ^noculars from the seat where he had hit them and slipped them Into his IscKet pocket. Nora watching his movement, glanced uP and laughed Wghtly. "Glynn," she said. "Why do you al- ways carry those glasses in your poc- ket, and never in the case for them B>at you always have over your shoul- fer.?" At the very instant she spoke, a â- icn was edging his way past them. Glynn glanced round and saw the iPt'ctadcd Indian, Dass, caught the iwift glance at the binoculars half- liray into the jacket pocket, from them to the case .slung from his shoulder. Outwardly he laughed carelessly; in- wardly he grnaoed. "Now why, just why did she have to say that," he thought, "at the very moment that iavn Indian would hear?" "Dunno," he laughed. "When I'm likely to be using them, they're hand- ler in my pocket. When I leave 'em 9if, I shove 'em in their case." Next moment he felt the slight al- Biost imperceptible shudder and the bounce of their wheels touching the (round, followed by the more pro- bounced swaying of the machine as it ran in over the 'drome to a standstill. Rutbah Wells is the one spot in the middle of six hundred miles of desert, â- nd bcau.se of this fact, the Iraq Gov- ernment has built there a strong fort tMBide the aerodrome. Outside the four •quare walls of the fort, the desert ttretches in every direction. The fort b held by the Camel Police, and its "khan" or hotel provides for the Air- ways pas.sengers and those who motor past by the desert route. In such a spot, Glynn decided that there could be no danger of an attempt on his pre- cious packet, and it would be safe to alight with the others and eat a meal. But he wished fervently that Norah had not chosen that unlucky moment to remark about this binocular case, and he took care to keep a wary eye on any movement of the Indian to come near him. As they walked across the few yards from tho liner to the fort, Glynn moved alongside Jimmy Doyle, the young Rugger player. "I wish you'd do me another favour, Doyle," he said. "Those people got my bag after all, but I have a fancy they may not be finished with me." "They can't do much and get away with it here," said Doyle. "By what I saw from the air, this is just a sPot in the howling wilderness." "Whoever got my bag, didn't go a- way with it," said Glynn. "But it's gone just the same" "Count on me for anything I can do to help," said Doyle, cheerily. "Then just hang around me, watch- ing me and anyone that comes near me without seeming to watch more than you can help. Come on the jump for anyone you see making trouble, and help me sit on his head." This arranged, Glynn took Norah to their meal with an easier mind. But before they were half way through it, a message came from the wireless op- erator asking Glynn to come and see him. "Captain ElHman," said the oi)era- tor, when Glynn entered his room. "Airways office at Galilee is asking you to speak to them." "Thanks," said Glynn eagerly with a sudden hope that perhaps something had been found out about the missing case and film. He was disappointed in this, because in answer to his first question he was told that there was no news to report. "What I wanted to tell you," said the voice from the telephone, "may mean nothing to you, but just might mean .something. Do you know any- thing of the Mr. Stefan who decided to stop off the liner here, and go on to Haifa on some business. "No, I don't know a thing about him," said Glynn. "Know anything of the Mr. Max who stayed behind because he was not feeling well?" "I don't actually know anything," admitted Glynn, "but for a very triv- ial reason I'm .suspicious of him." "Then this may interest you, after all. Max was down to breakfast and apparently well enough to cat a good one, within minutes of the liner leav- ing. Stefan got a wire from London, and immediately went frantic about getting a plane that would catch you up. He got it, and he's flying to Rut- bah now." "But I don't know anything about him," said Glynn. "I don't see that it affects me." "If you suspect Max, you can sus- pect Stefan. It was clear to me they know each other well, and last thing Stefan shouted from the Plane was to Max, telling him to send a wire off at once. Max evidently knew as much a- bout the business he was to wire at Stefan did." "That certainly does link the two," agreed Glynn. "I was hoping that with Max out of it there would be only one man with us to watch. I may be in for a tough time again If I have a couple of plotters to beat. Is this Stefan fel- low able to catch us up?" "He wouldn't normally," explained the Airways official. He had a head wind to fight and less speed than you have. But the hour you wait at Rutr bah gives him a chance, and as he's a passenger by Airways, I couldn't re- fuse to do as he asked and send a mes- sage through to your pilot to wait as long as he reasonably could to let Ste- fan arrive before the liner left?' Glynn left the fireless room thoughtfully pondering, and sought the pilot. "I've been talking to Galilee, Joe," he said. "They've told me about this fellow chasing us up and that you have been instructed to delay here as long as you can to let him arrive in time." "That's right," said the pilot. "He should manage it all right. I can safe- ly hang on for an hour and make Basr ra before it's too dark." "Course you can't dodge orders," said Glynn, "but if you can cut down the time you wait to the barest limit, I'd be mighty glad. I've a good reason for not wishing that passenger to rejoin us, but can't raise any object- ion on no more than a suspicion." "I see," said the pilot doubtfully. "But I don't know how I could ev plain not waiting an 'hour or so. But we'll see." At the end of tho regulation hour allowed for the meal, the passengers sauntered back to the liner. They had been told about the machine try- ing to catch them up and that they might be delayed a little, so while some got in and settled in their com- fortable seats, others hung about watching the sky for any distant speck that wluld give notice of the ap- proaching machine. The minutes dragged .slowly past- Half an hour went, thirty-five, forty, minutes Glynn and the pilot stood waiting together with the Airways ofTicial fidgetting at their elbow. "Better get 'em all aboard," said the pilot. "If he's not on the floor here with- in ten minutes," said the official with another glance at his watch, "he miss- es it." The word was given and the pas- .sengers filed up the steps and into the saloon. Glynn waited to the last with the other two. For some reason he could not understand, he was most desperately anxious they should get off without Stefan rejoining them, and he felt in some way that it was an omen of danger, and perhaps dis- aster to him if he failed to get away without Stefan on board- The pilot turned briskly. "All aboard," he said. "No sight of him, so we'll push off." Gladly, Glynn turned to leap up the steps. But on the instant came a long cry from the look-out, posted on the highest point of the walls. They looked up and saw the man's figure silhouetted against the sky, one arm pointing straight out to the West. "Curse!" growled Glynn, knowing well what the cry and signal meant. "There he is," cried the pilot point- ing. "Flying high â€" good six thousand I'd say. Wise bird! Must know there's less force in the head wind up there-" The tiny speck in the sky might have been anything up to ten miles off in that clear air. But even ten miles Is a matter of little more than five minutes flying, and Glynn knew that with the machine in plain sight, tho liner must wait its? arrival. Glumly he watched the speck g^row for a moment, then turned and mounted the steps up into the liner's entrance.

A congressional bearing where they are Invited to give tbelr findings is announced to begin April 15.

This is the growing ol chemicals as well as food on farms. The report Is written by Drs. Leo M. Chrlstenden, Ralps M. Hixon and Ellis J. Fulmer of tho Iowa State Col- lege, at Ames. Coal and oil, most ol man's present power source, they ex- plain, are hydrocarbons. All the farm- er* harvest crops are carbohydrates. Chemically, the crops and the coal and oil are all made of the same prime elements, carbon and hydrogen. The atoms of carbon and hydrogen are differently fitted together, and chem- ists have discovered how to inter- change them, so as to change a plant Into a hydrocarbon, a fuel which will burn and explode.

Henry C. Osborne, ol Ottawa, will "take their place as leaders ot the state and be at least equally Influen- tial, it not more so, than men in man- aging the worlds affairs." Col. Osborne told the WomenJe Canadian Club ot Toronto that women must press forward to seek wider spheres of knowledge because "edu- cation Is the key to opportunity." He urged that they strive for world peace which he described as the "indispens- able means to progress and civiliza- tion." He told his audience that "women have achieved, in English-speaking countries at least, complete equality with men in civil, political, economic and social lite." In the process of gaining leadership, he said, they will have to overcome the "fallacy that women are weak and soft." %e Prevrntneni Hotel Achievement Issue^Nbrr4^'34~ A Yearns U.S. Crime The most authentic figures on crime that we have been able to obtain â€" figures assembled by the National Crime Commission and checked against reports of the Department of Justice and of one of the large insurance com- panies â€" show that the United States has each year: 1.
