When they reached the hPadquarU ers offices of the police, they found that news of the abduction hail bei-n given the Head and that already he had set in motion what wheels he could for the tracing of the car in which Glynn had been carried off. "But it is a bad business," he added gravely. "Both cars turned off the main streets and seem to have disap- peared for the moment. The Courier, of course, would not suspect he was not with friends, and would know nothinjr of where he was being taken. If they fcet him to enter some house in a quiet .side street they will be able to rob him at their ease." "Glynn will fiRht," cried Norah. "When they attack him he will fight if he had a fraction of a chance. They will give him little chance." Terror stricken at the thought of his danger, she dropped limply to a chair. What the Head of the Police feared was exactly what happened. Glynn, after a few minutes fast driving, waked to the fact that a mounted escort had set out with them must be left miles behind. He mentioned this to the supriosed Hasim, who ex- plained glibly. "The troops," he said, "were mainly intended to draw at- tention from you and from this car. We were a little afraid there might be some commotion made in the streets, and possibly an attack made ©n the car. Moving at the pace of the horses would, for example, make it more possible to throw a bomb, and it would be at a car surrounded by troops such a bomb would be flung. Any bomb thrower would now be •waiting for the car and escort to pass him." Glynn was satisfield with the ex- planation, which seemed a reasonable cne and of a clever precaution. From the windows of the car he saw they were driving rapidly, and even rather recklessly, though a number of streets, some of them rather mean and narrow, but knowing nothing of tho city was still entirely unsuspic- ious. Hut when the car pulled up sud- denly in a narrow street outside a large house with a somewhat shabby and neglected looking exterior, he â- was very much surprised. "Aren't we going straight to the Palace of Napalata?" he asked, but again "Hasim" was glib with his answer. "Such was the plan that was given out," he said, "but again it was for the misleading of any possible evil- doers who might lie in wait on the road to the Palace. The Premier vaits you here, to see what you bring to him." Together they alighted and walked •ide by side to the house door. By comparison with the blaze of sun- shine outside, it was dark and dim inside the door, but Glynn stepped inside, still without thought of any- thing wrong.

For the life of me I can't see why anybody should forget. After all, the courtesy of the road doesn't cost you anything, other than s thought for somebody's welfare and safety. Little things like care- fulness in signalling an intention to turn, or slow down a bit when one is passing children, or going through Tillages, or giving the other fellow his share of the road, mean quite a lot to others. And they don't le.ssen I9»t QWIl self-respect or safety in "Itly degree.

He thought of Norah and again groaned to himself. To follow what was to happen, it is necessary to go back a little in the tale and to bring in a another char- acter new to us.

"The commission appointed for the purpose Is an exceptionally strong one in every respect, and It should con- tinue to command the respect and confidence of ihe people not only of Nova Scotia hut also of the Domln. Ion," said Premier Macdonald, in an- nouncing th» personnel. "Its scope of Inquiry Is the broadcast. It will be asked to investigate and consider not merely the effect of Canada's trade and fiscal piilU-les upon Nova Scotia, not only the present financial arrange- ments between this province and the Dominion, but also any other matters that may affect the economic welfare of Nova Scotia." DUNCAN COMMISSION The report ri the Duncan Commis. sion of 1928 declared at its beginning that "the outstanding fact Is that the Maritime Provinces have not pros- pered or developed either in popula- tion. In comnercial, industrial and rural enterprises, as fully as other provinces of Canada." Prof. Jones, who has headed the commerce department at Leeds since 19ia, will arrive in Halifa.x ne.\t week.

Study Eflfect Of Type Faces Psychological Power Is Prov- ed by College Tests Bloomlngton, Ind. â€" Conclusive evl- dence that different sizes of advertis- ing type faces have a definite psy- chological effect In denoting tones was gathered in a recent survey at Indiana UniverfJty. Professor R. C. Davis interviewed scores of students and others to learn Just what effect, If any, type had on readers of advertising. Concerned about frequent assertions that bold type expresses cheapness; Italic, feminity, and so forth, Pro- fessor Smi'.h put the theories to ac- tual tests. The subjects were given sheets of paper on which were printed various slies of type, varied as to boldness, condensation, use of italics and size. The subjects then described the psychological effect each type had on them, and they described whici type they thought best fitted for 23 high- ly advertised products. The tests also showed that type faces express feeling, the size of the type determining the tone. It was found that bold and heavy type carried the Idea of strength, confidence, snappy appeal, durability and masculinity Thinner and less bolder type was described as carrying thoughts of courtesy, beauty, sex ap. peal, delicacy and femininity. Crippled Indian Girl Now Walks Missionary Found Her Suf- fering Three Years Ago Winnipeg. â€" A little Indian girl cele. brated July fourth by gaining her In. dependence from pain and crippled limbs. She returned home to the Bran, don Indian Residential School, follow- ing a successful operation at a local hospital. Three years ago a young student missionary stationed at Nelson House, had made a journey into the Far North. In an Indian settlement, five days by dog team from his mission headquarters, the young man found Emily, a child badly crippled from congenital hip disease. The mission- ary made arrangements to bring the child to the Brandon Indian School where she could receive treatment. In February. 1931, the memorable trip was made. The missionary set out with five dogs hitched to the carriole, faced the bleak north country and headed for the Indian settlement. It took him five days to reach the settle, ment and another ten on the trail before reaoihlng Mile 137. From there Emily was brought to Brandon by rail. Through the Indian department the liest medical and surgical advice was obtained for the child. Now Emily can walk and take her normal place in life.

Were Devoted to Von Hindenburg Berlin. â€" To Germans, Paul von Hin- denburg was not only an unusual field marshall and president, but a lovable and loving oharacter whose humor and good nature endeared him to the millions. Death came to him 74 years after he wrote his last will and testament at the age of 12. That will, of course, is not taken seriously but it testifies to the good nature and sense of hu- mor which were two of the many qualities which marked his character. When young Paul joined the cadets of the Scholl Wahlstatt he wrote a will providing that his toys should be distributed between his brother and sister. To a needy schoolmate he be- queathed a sandwich for breakfast every morning. The postcript on this document was characteristic. It read: "Peace and quiet I ask forever." Today on his writing desk In the dim study at Neudeck there still stands the inscription that was the guide to von Hindenburg's life and living. "Ora et labora," read the In- scription; "Pray and work." The superior human quaiities of Germany's dead soldier-president were exemplified by the following words whioh he spoke after the battle of Masurian Lakes: "I am rather ashamed that I did not feel cold back there In the safe headquarters. At that time, I could not be at the front as I was at the battle of Tannenburg. "Almost every day, I ran for two hours against the bitterly cold wind to bring to my conscience what hard- ships our poor soldiers had to stand up against out in the trenches."
