ART LITERARY SERVICE > l-ee .Avenue, rOIlONTO "If Bagdad is like it used to be," went on Ulynn, "there will be » seething mob to get through from the 'drom to the hotel where we grub. I find that pushing through mobs gives piek-pockcts and thugs their best chance. And If I stick here in the machine until its time to start, you might have a bomb under it or some- other unplea-santness." The Pilot laughed. "Aren't you stretching it?" he asked. "The chance of anyone wrecking one of the re- gular liners is pretty thin." "Joe, you've known me quite a while," said Glynn earnestly- "Did you ever know me pannicky over nothing." "No, nor over a lot," said Joe. "Then bet on it I'm not stretching anything," said Glynn. "But I want you to help me out. I'm scared to take this to the town with me. I'm just as scared to stick in the machine here with it. Have you anywhere you can stow it, while I draw the fire by going off with the empty binocular case." "As it happens," said the Pilot evenly. "I want to have a look over one of the engines, so I won't be leav- ing the bus at Bagdad. You can leave your packet in my locker and forget it" "I won't forget that, Joe." said Glynn simply. "It will ease my mind a lot." "There's Bagdad ahead," was all the Pilot answered. Glynn changed places with the .Second again, leaving his cigarette tin in the Pilot's locker and adjusting the strap of his binoculars before do- ing .so- The ca.se was now slung with j the strap under his jacket, and .'short- ed up .so that the case also hu.ig well up under the inside of the jacket. I They came booming in over Bagdad in the early afternoon, catching a] glimpse of the golden domes, tho hud- dle of narrow streets and roof tops and the green splashes of date gar- dens, before dropping down on to the drome. "If we make a (juick lunch," Glynn said to Norah, "we'll just have time for a turn round to see some of the sights like the Bazaar and mosques that were here in the (lavs of Harun a! Raschid." way through Jostling knota of people, and mor« than once it seemed to him that they were being purposely ob- structed. But after each ])assagc he still had his hand in his jacket p<jcket resting against the binocular cas«, knowing that if any attempt were made at robbery this was likely to be the object of it But at one iK>int he had to use all the force of hands, elbows and shoulders to force a way through the press. A violent squabble had sprung up amongst several men as the two were passing, and in an instant they were in the centre of a struggling crowd of men striking and clawing at each other, shrieking and bawling ferociously. Glynn saw a knife or two glint, and with a sudden fear for Norah's safety, he pushed in front of her, calling her to keep close, and by main force buflfctted his way through. A stick whistled past his ear and thumbed heavily on his " right shoulder, a knife flashed under his eyes. Thoroughly alarmed now, he whipped out the gun from under his arm and snapped off a shot into the air. The struggling knot about him fell back a pace, and Glynn thrust Norah to the door of a little shop and placed himself before her, gun in hand. Police uniforms appeared sud- denly, and in an instant the uproar stilled, the fighters scattered and vanished. "Are you hurt?" cried Norah sharp- ly. "Your jacket is torn â€" no, cut-" Glynn clapped his hand to the bin- ocular case. It hung dangling low and swinging by one strap. There was a foot-long clean cut in the side of his jacket, one side of the suspending strap had been cut right through and the other just short of completely sev- ered. Glynn thrust his pistol out of sight. "Let's get out of here and find a cab," he said, and the two made hast* to get clear of the narrow streets while the police were still about- "This is getting .serious," thought Glynn, when they had reached the 'drom to which he made his cab drive straight. "That was a put-up ob in the street there, and there wa-s a whole bund in it. Looks as if every cily a'ong thf route has a gang of cot- throats waiting for me."

Before Mr. Justice Frank Ford In Supreme Court, Miss Crang, slender and attractive in her flowing gown, took the oath of allegiance to His Majesty the King, inti of truthfulness in her profession, "Miss Crang, this occasion becomes more pleasant at time goes on," re- marked his lordship, who saij it was a matter of great satisfaction to ad- mit her. Elected as Alderman She first established herself in the public eye in Edmonton when she ran for aldemran in the November, 1933, civic election; and despite head shak- ings by veteran campaigners who in- sisted no woman had a chance of suc- cess, romped home with 10,8.53 votes, second from head of the poll. It was a daring thing to do, but her friends say she is like that. Quiet and una.ssuming, but a force- ful personality for all that, this girl won for her.self the distinction of be- ing the youngest woman ever to be elected an aldijvman in Edmonton, and, as far as can be learned, the youngest for (ha* civic office in Canada. Member of Labor Parly Like her father, Dr. Frank W. Crang, veteran school trustee here and in whose footsteps she is closely following. Miss Crang is a staunch member of the Labor Party. Born in Edmonton, she matricu- lated from Strathcona High School and went on to a lengthly and bril- liant academic career. At University of Alberta she graduated in arts in 1930 and two years later received her LL.B. Tho following year she re- ceived her high school teacher's dip- loma. The young lawyer has had consid- erable practical experience in her profession, too. First, in the sum- mer of 1930 she served in the legal offices of Parlee, Freeman, Smith, and ftlassie. Of more recent years she has been in the offices of Newell, Lindsay, Emory and Ford. Bronte Parsonage To be Restored Haworth, Eng. â€" Restoration of its original state of the somber, wind- swept parsonage home of the Brontes here is planned by the Bronte So- ciety. For some years the parsonage, where the famous sisters wrote their classic works, has been in the pos- session of the Bronte Society, which moiintains it as a museum, and its treasures attract visitors from Ameri- ca and all parts of Europe. But now Mr. D. Hopewell, prei^Hent of the so- ciety, aims to remove modem addi- tions to the house and then to fur- nish with Bronte relics the dining room in which the sisters are said to have sat late into the night when thoy were considering the plots of their novels. The Bronte Society, which has just celebrated its fortieth anniver- sary, numbers many of the world's most distinguished authors among its members. it. sight. Glynn evidently knew his way, and, as it had Inen expected, he made for the chief Bazaar and led Norah wandering through its crowded narrow streets and little shop.s. They strolled ;'nun<l, glancing nl the work- ers in brass and copiKr hammering out pots and trays in an uproar of clanking and banging and battering, lingering by the brilliantly colored heaps of car|X'ts and s^ilks spread in I ho booths, resisting the clamourous cirorts of salesmen thrusting all sorts of wares upon them.

"It isn't likely a ' whide mob would have b<'en waitini' j for you at Bagdad. This fellow must 1 have had a pal or two there and got I them to hire a gang to mix in a . i^treet ro.'

A. lot of 240 bale of long staple cotton was disposed of here at a price of 17 ccnjp a pound. This was the highest price obtain- ed for a lot of this size on the Green- wood market in the past three years. A local firm of cotton factors made the sale to a member of the Green- wood Cotton Exchange. Relief Figures Decrease in B.C.
