Jimmy Doyle and Norah Seaman go with Glynn. They are followed. The I*rliu''8 envoys In the mftanilme have became alarmed at the non-appeuranoe of Glynn anil institute it search. ThK Subardar went on at n quiet pace and Glynn followed, throwing a glance back to »ee Uoyle and Norah a icorp yards behind. The gardens in which they found themselves were fairly well filled with people slrolling about anioiiRSt the husliee and over the dusty yellow grafiss, or sitting at little tables with coffee or drinks be- fore them. The place wa« brightly Jit by cluflers of electric lamps shin- irp through the palm trees and over the flowered bordered walk.s. At on© part of the grounds^ was a broad open xpare with a few palm trees and although their light was softened and tinted by .shades, they made the pen space bright enough to be seen clearly from end to end. The Subardar led llie way to a vac- ant table set imraedialely under one cf the palms and the lights hung in i., placed a ."eat in readine.ss. and, as (Jlynn took it, said anxiou.sly, "If the sabib keeps his bat on, il will shade his fac(«. I know the one who comes and will wat<-h lo bring him to you. And may I tell the others to sit at another tiibli- where you can join them alter your talk with him of the house of the t'rince," "Go abetnd," said Glynn, and set- tlid himself lo wait glancing about hiin ai the pleasant scene, the saun- tering or sitting customers, the white garbed waiters flitting about amongst them. He saw the Subardar meet No- rah and Uoyle, speak to them and to guide Iheni to another table about 30 or forty paces from his, anil leave them as they took their seats there. A waiter came to liim and present- ed a card, and Glynn without looking at it, ordered u wliiskey-.soda. The man went ofT and Glynn saw another waiter go to the table of the other two and evidently take an order from Jimmy Doyle after a word with Norah. ".I really don't want anything," she said to Jimmy, "but 1 suppo.se we can'i nit here without ordet-in^ so I'll have an Iced lemonade." Jimmy gave liis order, and turned with n langh to .Norah. "Seems very quaint, and I can't <iuite get over it," ht» said, "that it is only a week ago I was having a drink with the guv'- nor at his chib. I cant imagine any- thing more utterly different than that place iir I'lill .Mall and this fantastic Arabian .Nigliis panto setting." Norah sighed. "I shouldn't mind be ing back in London again." she said, "or rather that (llynn was safe hack there." "Why now." .Iiinpi.\ Doyle began in turprise, "I'd havt' thought you'd be •orry â€" " he checketl and corrected bimiielf. "I mean â€" er â€" well, I don't think that (ilynn will be sepecially %\m\ to leave -er to be back there." She understood perfectly what he meant and bis Knglisli reluctance to appear to know anything be had not been ttdd. ''Jiimmy," she said quiet ly, bill very earneHtly. "We've known tach other only a week, and I only met Glynn a week before that, but I find that one week can mean more than many years In some ways.

YMinuYEimmiiar rtc«ngM(Mi9l plMOtvM Intttntly led Jiiuniy with bis eyes on (llyiiii carefully lighting u cigar, and the wai- ter brinKini; to hiv table a tray with a glass and a syphon. Hut aH the waiter put tbe tray ilown on Glynn's table, the Suburdur steppe<l quickly forward froni where be had stationed himself behind tbe chair u|Miii which Glynn sat, and spoke in rapid angry Hindustani to tbe ob- sequious waiter. "The sahib will permit," the Subar- dar murmured, bowing to Glynn as the waiter picked up the tray and hurried off. "It is an order that I see you do not drink nothing alone that is not from a bottle which has not been op- ened before." "You'd be getting on my nerves, if I had any, Subardar," said Glynn half amusedly. "I see what you're at of course, but it seems a bit silly. I am not a claimant to the throne or any- body 8p«."cial to be poisoned off hand." "If the sahib permits," said tbe Su- bardar, "it Is on my head if my orders are not obeyed by me." "Have it your way." murmured Glynn, "but keep a lookout for our august friend who wants to meet me." The waiter returned with a full and uncorked bottle of whiskey and a small half bottle of soda water on his tray. Ho ,set the tray down on the table and produced a corkscrew, but before he could do more, the Subard- ar stepped forward, picked up the whiskey bottle examined the cork and the capsule carefully, and then turn ed the bottle upside down, and witli even greater care scrutinised the bot- tom of the bottle. "Think the bottle has sprung a leak?'" asked Glynn with unconcealed amusement as he watched this bus iness. The Suhaidar took the corkscrew from the waiter's hand an<l dismissed him curtly. "Does the suliib not know that a diamond drill can make a little hole in the liottom of a bottle, and through it ilie bottle he emptied, or something he added ,|o what the bot- tle holds." "I've beard of it.'' said Glynn id- ly and watched csaually while I lie Sub-j ardar carefully used the corkscrew,! pulled the cork, put the opened hot- 1 tie on the table and then wiped out I the glass wlh a napkin left on the tray .As Glynn tilted a small drink from the bottle the .Subardar ofiened the lialf-bottle of soda and jiassed the napkin around the neck of it. What Glynn did not : ee was thai in proi-- cess of the last movement, the Subar- dar slipped a little pellet Into the op- ened bottle of soda. Glynn tiimself poured the soda into his whiskey, and because he was thir- sty, filled his glass with it, and drank off more ilian half of the mixture at one slow draught. "If tbe saliib permits," said the Su- bardar a moment later. "I see the one who conies to talk, 1 see he has an- other with "^ ini, and it is my order that 1 should know who talks with you." "Co ahead," .said Glynn again, (jood liiimoiiii'dly. "It's on your head, as you keep reminding me." The Subai<lar moved (|Ulckly past tile table and to two m ii coming to- wards them and looking arounrl in search of someone. Glynn saw the Su Ijardar meet and talk a nioniint with the two. and then turn and lead them towar-!!. bis table. One id the two halt- ed a dozen pai:es away, while the oth- er came forward \, itli tbe Subardar. "The Sei'ielaiy of the VIziii <d' His Royal Highness desir.^s talk with the Sahib," said the Subardar bowing.' and h<! brings with him one of the lioilsehoUl he desires to be present at the talk." 'Sit down, please." said Glynn gruf fly, as be rose and made a formal ges- ture of a half bow. There was some- thing in llie man's face that he did not like, but he repressed Iho instinc- tive feeling, saying to himself that he had nothing to do with the Prince's selection of a Vizier's secretary- for- tunately for the secretary's hold on bis Job. The man saluted gravely and cere- moniously, took the seat at the table and with a murmured, "If it is pormltted," turned and motioned to the man who had halted, leaving hint' to go foiwanl.

Any druggist. was a great honour to be ordered to meet the Courier who had travelled no far across the liluck Water, that he had been told of the difficulties and the dangers which had been met and overcome, but that It was sure that His Koyal Highness would know of and make due recompense to the Cour- ier. (ilynn sat up with a Jerk realising that he was not taking in all that was being said, and, vaguely that nothing was being said, that mattered, anil â€" that â€" darn the man's droning driel, that was enough to send one to sleep. "It is late," he said abruptly, "and unless you have other orders for me, 1 have to take the train to-night. Have you any orders? If not â€" 1 mean â€" if not well, you understand that if not " Again he tried lo pull himself to- 'gether with H sense of humiliation that he was so confoundedly sleepy thai he was making n ss of himself. 'I'lie St ribe who was busy with paje er nd fountain pen looked up, mur- mured in Hindustani, "If it ia permit- ted, 1 have not heard and written. Will the sahib of his goodness repeat. At the entrance of one of the walks leading into the open electric-lit space appeared a young Knglishinan with a couple of men of the Indian I'olice at his elbows. The three began to move methodically and swiftly from table to table glancing at tbe people sitting at each, and passed rapidly on. The Subardar standingly behind Glynn's chair, coughed loudly, and as the Se- cretary looked up at him, turned his head stared straight and the questing policemen, and lifted a hand that gave a glimpse of the silken cord.

The complaint was laid by members of the farmer's family, tbe court end of the prosecu- tion being looked after by the Society for tbe Prevention of Crueltv to .Animals. i Five of Larniix's seven cows had died of starvation, the judge was told, and accused's barn was In disgrace- ful condition. i''our horses were also found starving by ofnccrs of the S.P.C.A. Laroux at first pleaded guil- ty but changed his mind when the court informed him he could be sen- tenced to a fine of $.500, one year In Jail and two laslies. The case proceeded after his change of plea and his children testified accused had enough money to teed his slock but spent both his time and his money in a neighboring village.

Milk and Crearn Consumption Off WASHINGTONâ€" Americans are drinking less milk ntid cream, an Ag- ricultural IJepurlnieiit report indi- cates. Consumption in cities and towns last year was estimated at .'1,620,470,- 000 gallons compared to .•), 731, 743,000 gallons in 19,12, 3.739,645,000 gallons in 1931 and 3,782,042,000 gallons in 1930. Per ca|)lta consumption declined from 40 gallons in 1931 and 1932 to 38.8 gallons last year. The decreases occurred chiefly in the North Atlantic states where about four per cent, less milk and cream was used than In 1932, Consumption decreased 3.B per cent, in South Central states, three per cent, in Soutli Atluntlc and about two per cent. In North Central Young Men Rally Round Girl Trained In Home Econmics Stately Old Home "The Maples" Tavistock, formerly the home of the late Frederick Krug, has been sold in order to wind up the estate, and It was secured for $2,l!50, observes the Stratford Beacon-Herald The property itself consists of three and one half acres, and there was splendid taste sliown in the first place in placing the house well back. There are fruit trees and slirubs, flower beds and hedges, a large barn, an ice house and a chicken pen. The house itself is heated by hot water, has a metal roof, stone founda- tion, electric lighting, and unlike a number of other large homes, has been kept in excellent repair. The house, solid brick. Is 44 by 32 feet and at the rear a solid brick kitchen 20 x 16, and at the front there ia one of those spacious and substantial veran- dahs which speak of comfort and enjoyment. There is a living room on the ground floor, a library and a din ing room, hardwood or parquet oak flooring, and this same standard of excellence is carried through all the floors. On the floors above there are seven or eight bedrooms, all large and airy. Almost every community has snch homes, but they do not sell readily today, 'luey are considered too large, and the reason probably Is that home life has changed. People are away now more than they used to be: the car has opened wide spaces and long roads to daily venture, and there are many who look for amusement and entertnininent outside their own homes. So II Is that the stately old home Is not in great demand. It seems a pity because It has so much to commend. I JACKSON.

We are advocates of child labor, ju.st as we are champions of child play and child freedom of the right iort. An advocate of labor in this way â€" of duties that put some iron into them and condition them to the work habit later in life. It's perfectly silly to bring up children on a diet of pap and then expect them to enjoy hard food later on, silly and criminal to say, "They are just children once," and let them get lazy and expect every one in the house to stand around and wait on them while they never turn a finger. Soft Life Harmful It is unfair to the child to have a nurse or governnoss at his beck and call too long; if he has to make no or little effort to look out for himself physically, it is all wrong It is unkind and short-sighted to keep girls out of the kitchen and say, "They'll learn to cook quickly enough when they are married." Maybe they will, but not being "conditioned" to cook, they will hate it very likely. Or only like it as long as they are emotionally interested. Too many children go through .-^ojiool and emerge in utter confusion to the world of work â€" the world of "riiu.st", or having - to - use - their - hands - mind - to - support - their bodies. They are .suddenly expect- ed to develop work habits entirely foreign to their natures. They have studied, of cour.'je, and that is labor. We do not discount that â€" but except in the cases of self-earned educations they cannot be expected to face the new situation cheerfully when the world stares to see what they will make of them- selves. Preparation for iLife Who makes the steady, to-be • depended - upon clerk or stenograph- er or secretary"? The girl who had to get up and help get breakfast and clean her room and scrub the porch Saturday. Who makes the depend- able business man or earnest profes- sional? The boy who had to tend furnace and grass and put through a daily job regularly- As it happens, most children do have some home duties to attend to, but how many of them are made to feel responsible for regular tasks? There is, of course, the type of parent who goes too far and pre- empts all of the child's free time- It seems to me that this is one phase of child training in which we go to extremes. The "driver" parent is doing as much harm as the easy parent. It is a wise mother who recognizes the need of playtime and worktime, too, and who can adjust a nice balance Balance Work and Play Just as surely as we allow the youngsters to live perpetually on Easy Street, and wear ourselves out trying to save them from the secret of work, we are knocking the mortar from between the bricks of national- istic strength But individually we are undermin- ing them, too, and misleading them. They cannot live for eighteen or twenty years without any idea of self-help without gp[ng soft at the core when they need every bit of strength of character they can sum- mon at the crisis of their lives. Vacation is coining Is it to be tilled with dawdlinj;-, or will it have a few daily hours of assigned duties? There are fourteen hours in a child's (lay. .A. lot of time for everything. Japan to Raise Standard of Living Geneva â€" ,Iapan aims to raise her living standars and thus does not threaten world trade through com- petition made possible by a low stan- dai-d, Ryozo Asano, representing the Japanese employers, told the Inter- national Labor Conference here re- cently. "Those who seem obsessed by the bogey of Japanese competition and who fail to see the benefits of trad- ing with a healthy progressive nation, may now dismiss from their minds the fear of a low standard of living in Japan," he said. If the Japanese are left to pursue their economic activities peacefully, he declared, they will become a huge market for the world's goods. He argued that Japan can only raise its standard of living by a higher in- dustrial development. A man of seventy-two and a girl of seventeen were married at I'ewsey, near Marlborough, recently.
