The time- \(hen he. had met the man whom it was now his life's purpose to II.M again; the man whom he would some day meet un- less one of them died first, which heaven forbid. What had made Bailtfzin so vin- dictive? Surely not the little epi- sode at the Russian Embassy in J-ontlon? Was it just the nature of the bruite, racial' enitathy, or had the circumstances in which he had caught Wendover at Tashkent had something to do with it, given him a jolt, made him uncomfortable, and decided him to tiive \\Vndover a losson? Memories It must have beer a nasty jar for the authorities to learn that one of the professors at the Rus- sian Officers' School of Oriental Languages at Tashkent was a British officer, and obviously, therefore, a British secret agent. Of course, it hail been Wend- over's good luck that there was a racancy (or a teacher of Hindus- tani and Pushtu to those Russian officers especially select ed for in-. telliRence work in India and on the Border. Had there -been no such vacancy, and bad it not hap- pened that he and Slire Khan had made the acquaintance at the tea bouse at which they lodged of an old gentleman who taught Persian at the school, he would never ha-.e known of it. * The Adjutant, formerly a prom- inent Nihilist, who had been like Lenin an exile in London in Tsar- tet days, and whose language was fair more colloquial and idiomatic mid slangy than that used by (Jill M.iliommed, decided that tile lat- ter's slight accent anil Victorian type of English did not dehnr him in the leiwt from teaching the- Eng- lihli language to th officer-sin- donts in his charge.

Moving cautiously and with the skill of experience, the Professor of Pushtu, Hindustani and English had contrived to give the impres- sion that he was not uninterested in politics-; that he had ambitions; that greatly as he appreciated and enjoyed the honor of being Profes- sor of Languages, he would even more greatly enjoy that of being an emissary and an agent who on the Indian Bonier could serve Holy Russia, or if they preferred it. T'nholy Russia. What his hearers wished to think, he had given them grounds for thinking, what they wanted to know and to believe, he had taught them; their wishes were father to his thoughts when preparing his impromptu outbursts. * * * And in a surprisingly short time he had found himself not only the leading authority on the politic^ of the Border and Northern India, but had somdbow come to be ac- cepted as a political refugee, a po- tential if not actual Red Shirt, a frit ml and follower of the power- ful Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot and an enemy of the British, suffic- iently active and powerful to have been In danger of the reach of their long arm until he had cross- ed the Border, reached Tashkent and entered the Haven that hav- en of safety which is happy Rus- sia.

Bailitzin had struck. And very cleverly. For some time past the Adjutant of tile school had been taking no- tice of the Professor of Pushtu, Hindustani and English, had made a point of accidental!}' encount- er/.:::; him, of sounding him as to. his opinions, and had one day sent for him to his office and question- ed him as to his pi-.-onal history, compiling a dossier for the col- lege records. * * * He had had to think quickly and, answer each item of the question- naire promptly, and finally the Adjutant had asked him when he intended to re-turn to the Indian Northwest Frontier country and what he proposed to do when lie got there. And Munshi Gul Mahommf-.l had replied that he was so happy were he was that he had formed no plans for the future, but how infinitely happy would he be if the Russian officers under whose kind control he now worke-cl would send him to rhe Frontier, or to Afghanistan, or even to India. Send him on what business, the Adjutant had inquired. Oh, any business, Gul Mahoni- med had replied, fingering bis beard with sly, deprecating smile. ' Any business whatsoever. And thereafter on several sub- sequent occasions they had grad- ually Kot down to it and talked reaJ secret service stuff. And then had come the great day when the commandant of the school himself had sent for Mun- shi Gul Mahomnied and given him a prolonged and thorough gruH- ing. The leaven was working, and working fast. What, a stroke it would be if the man who longed beyond any- thing to he tlit. most iuvaluablu agent of the Military Intelligence Service of the Indian Government, could -get himself actually appoint- ed to a post in which capacity he would work and rise to promin- ence in that, brunch of Lhe Rus- sian Secret Service that dealt with India, Afghanistan and the buffer States between them! He had made a hnljl bid. an au- dacious throw, staking everything In obedience to his moito of I'audam 1'audace encore, et tou- jours 1'audace; and. without ex- patiating to the Commandant as he had done to the Adjutant upon his most exceptional fitness for service in India, Afghanistan and on the Northwest Frontier, had gone one step farthen- than i-vrr before. (Continud Next Week) Air Force Uses Glass Kite String A kiU; string of glass yarn is used with the box kite that car- ries aloft the antenna of the radio transmitter developed by the Army Air Fortvse to summon help for fliers forced to make crash la;. dings at sea, says The New York Times. The complete transmitter in- cludes the sending: set, an ordi- nary cloth-and-wood frame box kite, an antenna consisting of very fine copper wire wound around the glass kite string, two balloons and capsules of com- pressed hydrogen. The balloons, inflated with hydrogen, can be used to carry the. antenna aloft in the event of a calm. Glass is used for the string be- cause of its strength in propor- tion to its weight, and because it wjll not rot or otherwise deterior- ate from the effects of salt water, tropic sunlight, rain or damp- ness. With a hand crank to gen- crate current the transmitter automatically grinds out the SOS signal on 500 kilocycles, the in- international distress frequency. May Bomb Rome; Not Vatican City We could, by one sharp raid, shatter the fantastic immunity which Rome has enjoyed in this war of cities, says an English paper. The emphasis must be Rome not the Vatican City. Rome is one of the greatest mili- tary targets in the world war. It is the" centre of the Italian war administration. It is an important railway centre. It has great bar- racks and a vast airfield. Our bombing technique is such that Rome can be bombed without hurting the Vatican City. That knowledge will console all thoe who would otherwise recoil from a military expedient which mighl bring distress to Catholics all over the world. At the forefront of our thoughts must be the con- servation of the lives of our air- men, sailors, and soldier <. The warlike city of Rome still stando unchallenged. Its testing might shorten the war by no in:alcu]- ble meaaur*. TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS WARTIME CANNING (Continued) Equip/nent Equipment should bo Sharp knives, colander, bowls, measur- ing cups, towel.s, enamel pie plates, wooden .spoons, a wide mouthed funnel for filling sealers, and a lifter to save burned fing- ers. The sterilizer may be the com- mon wash boiler or preserving kettle, pressure cooker or the ov- en. Containers Several makes of glass sealers are available, screw top, and vac- uum type. All are equally satis- factory, if they can be made com- pletely airtight. To finish a perfect seal, a seal- er for use in canning should have a smooth rim and tight fitting cover. Test each sealer before you USB it. See that it is not cracked. See that there are no chips in the rim of sealer or cover. Fill the sealers with water, adjust the rub- ber, seal and invert a few min- utes to test for leakage. Be sure the wire spring of a spring top sealer springs into position with a snap. New metal screw caps should replace, those which have become cracked or corroded. Rubber Rings Rubber rings are an important part of canning equipment. To be effective the rubber ring must l>e pliant. For a good seal it is nec- essary to have the proper sized ring for the sealer used. The box- es are plainly marked and the types of rings are not inter- changeable. Wide rings fit spring top sealers. Narrow rings fit screw top sealers. It is preferable that new rings should be used each year, how- ever some retain their elasticity and are thus suitable for re-use. Rubber is valuable. therefore great care should lie taken in stor- ing usable rings. On rtMiioval from the sealer they should be washed and ^Iried immediately, then laid flat so they will not lose their shape. Keep rubber rings in a dry place away from light. Old type rings are tested by bending double. An uns^itislautory ring will crack. A second test is stretching. A good riitg will sirelc-li back. file, war-grade rubber ring being manufactured is not as -ias- tic as the old type but makes a satisfactory seal. These rings will not return to shape and may break BUNNY HUG m ..,<_.....( JIMMY RAISES RABBITS for fun and pocket money. Works hard on his Dad's farm, walks a mile to school.

Like our sister provinces, Quebec has loyally geared all her energies y and resources to furthering Canada's war eiiort. Quebec is delivering the goods, in quality and quantity, promptly and efficiently. Her sons and daughters are distinguishing themselves by fighting, serving, working in all phases of the Allied battle of combat, convoy, and production. Quebec is a vital factor in the production of war material and weapons. She produces 40% of the United Nations volume of aluminum, 90% of the total supply of asbestos, 25% of the world's newsprint (70% of all newspapers in the Americas depend on her for pager). Lumbering and mining for war purposes have reached vast proportions in French Canada. This Province supplies enormous quantities of foodstuifs to the United Nations, especially to Britain. Merchant ships and war vessels, tanks, artillery, shells, aircraft, parachutes, supplies for the forces, ammunition of all kinds, depth charges, innumerable wood and textile war products, chemicals, explosives, are major items of our output from a vast manufacturing complex powered by enormous hydro- electric resources. War demands on our industries and agriculture, and our increasing participation in the Navy, Merchant Marine, Air Force, Army, and Women's Auxiliary Services, are a-bsorbing all our man and woman power. Quebec supports to the limit every war and Victory Loan and every war campaign for funds, overtopping all objectives. Education is making great strides and is now focussed on war needs. Quebec is keeping faith! We warmly welcome all our fellow Canadians whose business brings them to Quebec Province. Though our people toil night and day for our common Victory, oui hospitality to visitors is as warm as of old while the quaint charm and ecenio beauty of Quebec remain unchanged. We cordially invite our friends in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada to visit us again when Victory has been won.
