One of you will sell the names of the others, and they will be brought to justice." Now he had fairly stirred them, and he could hear the liuin und mur- mur of rapid talk amongst them. Again he caught enough of a sentence to answer it â€" .somifthing about any man who sold the names knowing that the oWieis would certainly give his name to the police. "Fools," cried Glynn scornfully. "Surely you know one man may give King's Kvideiice and earn pardon by bringing others to the I.aw. And even It that were not done, one of you can give the names to another outside yoursolve.s who will tell the police and share the reward. And yet again, an- ewer this â€" are not your names known to tiie one who hired you, and will Tho Vulture spare any man It their death will make his own neck safe?" The talk died to a deadly silence, and the leader drew close and asked harshly "What la this lalk of The ''Blue'* Spells Hcducr some women to the petulant shadow of their own imilioK selves.

He will be accus. ed, not only of planning and paying for the robbery, but of hiring the murderers of an lOnKlishman. And when he is so accused, lie will .swear he gave strict orders no hair of the messenger was to bo hurt, and that you killed against those orders, lie The Vullure, will sive your necks to the ban.i,'niun lo save bis own." This llnio ho Jiad won. Willi an im- mense thankfulness he hoard the talk break out again and caught .sentences that proved his arguments adinilled â€" especially those thai di.screditcd The Vulture's good faith. The c.'inttor end- ed with a curt order from the leader. "Uring the hammer and file." They tried flist to bieak the lock; but it was a stoutly made brass one, and allliough they battered and i\i\U tened it with many blows, the hasp of it Jielcl. and indeed may have been closer .uripped lor the hunimoring. They set lo work on the chain with a file, Glynn .ioiiglit to liy his powers of persuasion on them again, reminding them Ibnt in the past The Vulture ^lad been safe and beyond punish, ment because his father, the Prince, lived; that now the Prince was gone, and a new Prince coming who would know how to reward those who help- ed his friends and bitterly punish llioso who robbed or injured them. Tho lender at last, fearing perhaps that such lalk might have some ef- fect, struck him hard across the face! with a nie and ordered him to sil-' ence, unless he wouhl be gagged. I Tihe rasp. rasp of the file went on | steadily, and at last tho man using' it leaned buck and said it should j break now willi a good hummer blow. But because the men did not know enough to put metal or something hard enough under the chain but struck at it against the wood of the bench, it only dinted Into tho wood i and did not break. Tho man went i back lo work wllli the' ftle. j And at that instant there came tho thunder of blows upon the outer i door, and a voice shouting to open. A panic-stricken pause was followed by erioH of "the police" and hurried ' movemcntB that were still again by the voice of tho leader. "The door i is of inches thick wood, bound and I lined with Iron," he cried. "It will | hold for an hour, and two minutos ; more vlll serve lo flnish h?re. Qo, get away by the roof all, except you two. Try the hammer again, and strlki hard." Tiie outer door was eoiioing (o the asrault of sledge-hammer blows, and thd men moved hurriedly to an inner door leading to th© roof. But they w« re met by a distant crash and cricklo of rending and splintering wt od, and poured back Into the room wivli cries of dismay, shouting that' the police were on the roof, were breaking lo, would be on them at any minute. Under the orders of the leader, the door of the room they were In was shut, and the men set to work to bar it and pile It against anytblog that would delay its opening. "It Is giving â€" another blow or two," shouted the leader with bis eyes on the filed link ot the chain. "Again â€" harder!" The man struck again and Glynn felt the chain slacken round him. He heard the rush of feet des. cending the sairs, and as the leader, with a cry of triumph, snatched the chain rasping from under him, Glynn yelled at t^e top of his voice, shouts In English and Hindustani to be quick â€"quick. With a fierce cry of anger as be heard the polcie yell answers to this call, the leader snatched up a heavy cudgel and struck down on Glynn's head. He dropped with a thud on the bench, stunned and streaming blood. "I have it," shouted the leader above the din. "Hold the door until I destroy it, and the master will re- ward you well." Ho snatched the chain through the hasps of the case. Jerked open the lid, and shook out the cigarette case. This too, he snatched open, and the curling loops of fllm were in his hands. "The lamp," he cried. "Hold It close, that I may make sure the pictures are those we seek." While a man held close a little oil lamp, the leader held up a length ot film to It and examined It closely, heedless ot the clatter at the door and the cracking sounds of breaking panels as the wood gave un- der the raining blows." "It Is the Prince," cried the man exultantly, as he saw a close-up ot the Prince's face on one section, and then running the film through his fingers to another length again saw recog- nizable pictures of the Prince. He tossed the film in a wriggling heap on tlie floor. "The lamp," he cried. "The flame In it." He seized the cheap tin lamp, knocked the glass ohimney off it, and pushing the smok- ing flame into the middle of the tumbl'-ii coils ot film umped back for it .0 roar up in an instant burst ot sheeting fiame. But there was no such leap of fire. The coils ot films above the flame writhed and twisted slowly, sputtered and smoked and blistered, but did not burn. The man stared aghast. He had been told it would burn or even tumbled coils of film jumped back for more than inches were slowly melt- ing and charring. And the door was on the point of yielding, breaking an inch at a time from its hinges under each battering-ram blow. The fllm was of the "non.flam" flreproof type. Wilh a fierce cry of rage, the man siiulclied up tho hammer and fell to healing I'rciiziedly at the coils of fllm taking lianilfiils of them, twisting li'.iem liaid like rope slrand.s, Iniotting tliein. hatlcriiij; tliem as fast as he could lift the lianinier and strike. The floor gave willi a rending crash, and tho police tuiiililed crowdin.i; into i the room. A man beside the leader i lirrd two shots fr.iin a revolver, and in answer came a rapid banging of , police pistols and t.he yells of woun. ded moii. The loader's hammering stoiiped ab- i riiptly. With a groan he stiaightened â-  a moment, then the hammer dropped, ! uiiil he collapsed in a heap on the • battered film, with his blood spilling : over it. i While some of IiIk? police held their pi isomers luiddled in a corner under ' their pistol muzzles, others ran to cut, (jlynn free and try to levive him. and I lo lift the dying man off the crumpled battered film, iiiid gather it up. ; When Glynn's acliing head cleared enough to remember what had hap. * pened, tho first thing lie asked was about the filmâ€" had the caso been opened. For answer they showed him j the wreckage and remains of his film, I twisted, cracked and battered. 1 "So The Vulture scored over me after all," he said and laughed weakly. (To Be Continued.) Exquisite Quality JAPAK GKg:m TEA m Fresh from the Gardens Appetites of UJS. To Speed Unemployed Prosperity's Return Chicago. â€" The newest debate for curbstone economists is whetlier the United States can eat its way back to prosperity. What prompts it is the extension of the activities ot the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, set up to buy ex. cess foodstuff and get rid of it. The corporation feeds it to the country's unemployed. Now distributing canned beef, salt pork and smoked pork free to relief clients, the corporation, Intends to add fresh meat to its cupboard. It will begin soon distributing fresh cuts of beet and veal and later, possibly, will add mutton and lamb. Farmers will be paid for the stock â€" which became a surplus commodity when the drought made it impossible to feed the animals â€" and the unem. ployed will eat this problem out of existence. This phase ot the corpor. ation's activities operates entirely outside of ordinary profit.system mar- keting. Swimming and Health A well-known swimming instructor states "The interest in swimming has been stimulated tremendously and it is now pos.3ible for people to indulge in this healthful recreation througiv out the year." Greater indulgence would naturally make the health of the nation great- er. It may also be the means of sav- ing the swimmer and another's life As an exercise swimming has few ex- ercise with which to be compared. It may be performed to suit the age and physical condition of the individual 'The art of swimming has also de- veloped marvelously," states thu author. In the early days the breaai stroke and over-hand stroke werf commonly used. The trudgeon and sin- gle over-arm stroke were next evolv- ed. The writer outlines th methods ot swimming and states "Make up youi mind that you will learn or improve.' The crawl stroke is the most populat of all s.wim strokes. Champions ail over the world use it and it is fast be- coming the stroke for everybody. In explaining tho crawl stroke attention is paid to position, breathing anc practice. At this time of year swim niing can be made easier by the read iiig ul" such an article. Fashion Hints More nvjrblouses are indicated for tho fall season. "They always wear more overhlouses In the fall," Is the comment made by the practical mind- ed who see one season much like an- other. But tho fact that two-piece Uicmea are so good for fall would seem to Influence blouse and skirt arrangements in the direction of over- blouses rather than tuck-ins. The dressy models, as taffetas, moires, vel- vets with silk pique trims, will prob- 1 ably bo worn as tuek-lns. They are generally fitted up at the waistline so that Ihcy will look graceful above skirl waistbands. « • * Stitching is another device on the tailored side that is well liked for: fall. Kapccially in collars and sleeve . and slceve.bands is stitching a favor, j He theme. It is easy to launder, It ' Is simple and it helps blouses to keep a pressed look at the strategic points. Canadian Butter Grades Tlie Provincial I'urlianient ol M' berlu ha.^ pa^ised an eiiabliiiii .-Vet tor the provisions of the Dairy Indu.-^try Act to come into torce wiihin the province so far as appertains to the grading and marketing ot creanieiy butter. Tlie grades ot butter are First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade and No Grade. No butter will be gradeii which is too ,fresh from the churn and doterniine the t|Ualily properly, and in the case of failure on the part of any owner to comply with the regulations, ttio chief, Uiv ision of Dairy Produce, may seize and hold any lot of butter involved until such time us the regulations have been complied with. One im. portant point is that the butter be of the exact quality represented, und any package containing creamery butter sold, offered or exposed or held for sale to coiisunieis, or to any person representing a con.sumer, must be marked so as lo give a true and accurate description of the quality ot the butter. The new regulations ap ply to nil Canada, but come into force in any province on procluma tion by that province. Middles do not disappear with the coming of fall. They go right on in a number of new variations. The collars are not quite so frankly middy col. lars, but the anchors and stars appear again. Navy with trimmings of red and white Is the most commonly used color scheme. At the midsumnier period, tin water levels of the St. l.awreiiot river are usually at their grcatci' height. In normal sea^oll£, the Icve gradually rises from the si>riiig break-up to the comnioiicemeni m July and then subsides equally giad ually until the close of the season ol navigation.

The increase in the depth of water in the river channels fron. spring to midsummer has been very much less than is normally the casf and, what is more, subsidence has taken place at such a rapid rate that already this year, at a time when the water should possess its great- est depth, no fewer than two reduc tions in the draught of vessels pas sing through the canals have beer, ordered by the Marine Department at Ottawa. It now stands at thirteen feet, having been dropped fron; thirteen feet nine inches at the com mencement of the season. The loss to shipping due to low water and the enforced reduction ol draught in passing through the canals may be easily understood and, if such action is already considered necesary, the situation at the close of the season, unlets there is a quitf unexpected improvement in con ditions, will be indeed a serious one Reduction of cargoes means re- duction of earnings and thus los ot profit, and lake and river shipping interests are experiencing quite enough difficulties without having additional ones thrust upon them. Because low water in the St. Law rence is becoming the rule instead ol the exception â€" as it once was â€" much hinges upon the enquiry into the cause of this condition and the steps- which might be taken to correct U that is under way by departmental engineers at Ottawa. Nearly every person has his own explanation of why the river con tinues to remain low. Some attri bute it to the diversion ot water fron. Lake Michigan at Chicago, others i< scanty precipitation during tht spring and summer seasons, other,- still to the effect which removal ol forest growth has had 'apon tht storage of water in inland basins Meterological phenomena are alsn blamed upor. occasions. Whatever the reason, however, ano it may well be a combination of all those suggestions which have beei. made, the St. Lawrence is exception ally low and gives no prospect ol improving its ways, and when an east wind blows shipping sutlers along with many other interests. Dredging is now under way ai different points in an etlort to im- prove the situation, but dredging, nc matter how often it may be under taken, does i.ot hold the solution ol tho question. That can only be brought about through the e=^tablish iiig of works capable of regulating the flow of water and maintaining recognized levels or through waiting for Nature to supply sufficient moist- ure at the proper intervals to keep lake and river levels at their normal uosition. â€" Brock ville Recorder. New Shoes Inspired by Ihose oi hre-War iJays Tht^ro is a national conference of shoes going on in Paris and one of the ouisiaiiiling resolutions Uiey have drawn up is that if a dress can hook together, so can a shoe. For laced types of shoe, shiny hooks f, â€" : do duty. Truth to tell, all the smartoal shoes of today are borrowing their io. spiration from the good pre-war days of the buttoned boot and covered ankle. Ever since ohiaparelli launched the idea ot fish and bird silhouettes in dressâ€" putting funny little fins on at the shoulders the fin and wing mo. tif has flapped and flipped through every phase of fashion, clear down to the feet where high standing tongues and tabs of kidskin give a sort ot new winged Victory feeling to feet. Kid shoes in a natural fishy Eel grey tone are a very smart vogue. When you come to think of It there is :io fashion of any kind, dresses. hats and all manner of accessories, that the shoe doesn't come and put its foot in most decisively. There's no getting a smart effect without con- sulting the foot for its co-operation. And while fancy fabrics come and go with the whims of nature, kid goes on for ever being popular, smart and de- sirable. Before Flying - Oxygen Aviators After Height Re- cords Urged to Take Treatment If Professors Francis Marsh Bald- win and Harold B. Robertson of the University of Southern California have their way, aviators who want to break the high-altitude record would be dosed for an hour with pure ovygen before they would be permit- ted to leave the ground. The profes- sors reached their conclusions after having experimented with white rats:' .A.£ter having br-=athed pure oxygen for 25, 40, 70 and 130 minutes, the rats were placed in a chamber from which air was partially exhausted. In that evacuated space the conditions prevailing in the stratosphere were reproduced. Kats which iiad not been dosed with oxygen succumbed much sooner than rats that had. Seventy minutes proved to be the best period of ex- posure to the oxygen. The experi- menters account for the efficacy of the oxygen on the theory that bodily processes are changed like those of a runner who gets his "second wind."
