His soft hands brought a neat gilt
case from his pocket,
The case sprang open with a click
and almost as it clicked Johnny
Cope's hand short forth, his bony
fingers pounced and the case went
clattering to the floor. “Pick it up,
Geoff, please," he requested, “and
handle it carefully. If I’m not mis
taken, there’s a little more to it
than there seems to be."
Hendringham picked the case up
and examined it carefully. Mr. Mor
ganthau caressed his right wrist
very much as a forerunner of his
had this morning caressed his elbow.
“Firearm?” enquired Cope, as if
the enquiry had been an entirely
casual one.
“Looks like it. Very ingenious.
About three millimetres bore, I
should say.”
“Tt-tt-tt. Morganthau, I’m afraid
you've made a bloomer. The dodge
might have worked, old man, if I
hadnt had. a hunch you were mean
ing mischief and if you had not pre
sented your side-view to Hendring
ham and myself when you were sup
posed only to be offering a cigar
ette. You stand sideways for a gun
fight, don’t you, so as to present
less of a target if the other fellow
fires first? But a man who is of-
ering a cigarette usually faces the
recipient. From your attiude at
that moment I am afraid we must
draw the conclusion that you have
not always managed to avoid the
use of firearms.”
The foreigner bowed. “You have
a quick brain, Mr. Cope, and extra
ordinarily hard fingers. But that
thing is only a toy. It carries only
one cartridge at a time, and it is so
little a bullet. It is — a nothing,
surely, to come between us,” com
plained an aggrieved, an injured
Morganthau.
“And that single cartridge cap
able of pushing its tiny bullet thro’
an inch door at twenty feet! I knew
you’d got it on you somewhere,
Morganthau. I’d a hunch that way.”
Mr. Morganthau shrugged his
shoulders. It might have been the
shrug of a millionaire resigning
himself to the loss of a shilling.
“You malign me, Cope, you do real
ly," he said. “But what matter? Af
ter all we are here to talk business,
and in matters of business there is
no room for petty resentments. Let
us be seated and perhaps Mr. Hend-
ringham will be so magnanimous
as to extract cigarettes from that
funny little case of mine. It carries
cigarettes ydu know. I must say I
could do with a cigarette. I find all
this roughness just a little nerve-
wracking.”
“I think Mr. Morganthou had bet
ter offer each of us one of his own
brand. I prefer them out of a pack
et you know. The other sort are
sometimes rather heady.”
Once again Mr. Morganthau
raised his hands palm up as if im
ploring heaven. “They are very good
made especially for me,” he pro
tested.
“I don’t doubt it. No one of yours
please, Geoff. Mr. Morganthau
have one out of his jolly little
if he prefers it. Now let’s,

Johnny Cope was toying with
Pamphlett's revolver. Foi* the mo
ment he had it on the table before
him. Now he took it up again and
deftly emptied the magazine. Cas
ually sweeping the loose cartridges
into his pocket, he held the weapon
out towards Morganthau. “Seen one
of these yet?” he asked.

his eyes widening delightedly,

“Surely ... it is not . . .?”
“It is. I took it off one of
envoys this morning.”
“Amazing! What a gift you have,

this off you as well.”
“I’ll give it to you
for this toy of yours,

“Give it to me! But my dear Mr.

“But certainly, I must apologize.”

affectionately. “I can rely on you,

a little doubtful.

They sat down and each man
up, the visitor strangely enough
helping himself from Hendring-
ham’s crumpled packet. “I will be
brief, Mr. Cope,” he said. “You
know I believe in coming straight
to the point. Will you take five
thousand for the formula, splitting

■Cope smiled non-committally.
■“Well, six thousand then?, Name
your own price. I do not haggle.
The only point is I have no more
than fifteen hundred with me. I
did not expect to have to bid for I

Coughs
Terribly wearing on the system is
the cough that comes on at night
and prevents sleep.
Sometimes it is the constant cough,
cough that will not be quieted.
Sometimes it is a clioked-up, stuffed-
up feeling that makes breathing
difficult.
Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup is
the remedy you need to give you
relief, for the reason that this prep
aration contains the healing virtues
of the Norway pine tree with which
is combined wild cherry bark,»and
the soothing, healing and expectorant
properties of other excellent balsams,
barks and herbs.

“If we happened to travel by the
same plane it might give rise to
picion, don’t you think?”
“Ah indeed. I understand,
world is a very censorious place
there are always people only
ready to misjudge one’s motives,
I fear. Au revoir then gentlemen,
and a thousand thanks.” 'He bowed
again to each in turn.
“Lock the door after him, Geoff.”
Cope said as soon as
of hearing.
Hendringham turned
the lock and came back
to the table, his scorched face a
painful network of trouble-wrinkles.
“You’ve got me guessing,” he com
plained as he seated himself.
“I’ve got Morganthau guessing
and that is a great deal more to the
point.”
The other looked up at him from
under puzzled, almost angry brows.
“Do you actually happen to know
the formula for that explosive?” he
asked.
“Of course. It’s largely my for
mula. Or at any rate it was I that
suggested the lines the chemist
johnnies should work on. You seem
to have forgotten that I am the au
thor of one of the recognized class
ics on the subjects of high explos
ives. 'But they haven’t forgotten it
in Whitehall, my lad. As soon as
they realized that the new bomb had
to have a charge that would provide
an exceptionally high-temperature
flame propulsion, they were good
enough to ask me if I could put for
ward any suggestion.”
“Well, I do congratulate you on
that, but . . it’s a bit awkward to
express, but obvious you can’t pos

In Geneva tomorrow.”
“Obviously?” The query was iron
ical in tone.
“Oh, of course'. Don’t I know
you far too well for that? You could
ndt bring yourself to do so
wanted to.”
"Thank you, Geoff. And
then?”
“Well, it’s a bit difficult
what you’re driving at in that case.
“It shouldn’t be.
you want to realize, my lad, is that
there are too many interests con
cerned in the present little trouble
for my liking. If I can keep them
apart, play one off against another,
we may get through with it. If for
a single hour they’d the sense to
act in concert we’d be dished hope
lessly. Now we’ve got Morganthau
on our list. He isn’t convinced for
one moment but he fancies he’s a
chance of bringing it off, and it’s
an article of faith with him that no
one can continue to refuse a bribe
that’s big enough. Until he’s de
finitely sure we don’t mean to turn

really do turn up and tlfat means
one potential enemy out of the way,’
Hendringham fumbled for an
other cigarette. “I fancy I begin to
see your strategy, but my head’s
not working over well as yet. Bo
you really reckon you’re got Mor
ganthau on our side?" he remarked
as he lit up.
“Enough on our side for the mo
ment not to be on the side of any
one else. Giving him that gun of
Pamphlett’s pleased him. I dare say
he’d have to give Pamphlett a pony
for it. When he finds he has fail
ed on the main deal he’ll still have
something to show his employers as
a justification for his expenses. We
didn’t want it either. There’s been
a sample in London for the past
three weeks, as I happen to know.”
He yawned and grinned. “Cheer up,
Geoff,” he said encouragingly. ‘You

Hendringham smiled wryly then
his scorched lips parted in a more
genuine grimace. “I’m sorry, John
ny,” he said.'
“Granted as soon as asked. About
time .we got down to those
isn’t it?” He studied his
watch. “Ought to be there
eighteen minutes,” he said.
“Does that give us time to clear
up any more queries?”
“One or two if they don’t involve
too much detail.”
“Well, I’d particularly like to
know where you were when Mor
ganthau looked in that wardrobe.”
“In the wardrobe, of course. It’s
only an ordinary Tottenham Court
Road wardrobe, as you yourself
pointed out to Morganthau, not a
Maskelyne and Devant effect.”
‘Hendringham’s face only grew
more perplexed, while over Cope’s
there spread the tolerant smile of
one who is prepared to humor a per
sistent child. Rising he shrugged
his jacket collar above the level of
his head his shoulders hunched gro
tesquely. Then his fingers fumbled
about his waist. .Shuffling over to
the wardrobe he removed an empty-
coat-hanger to the front of the
rack and seeing this, drew himself
up with a shake that sent his trous
ers slipping over his hips until his
feet were hidden. He hung there for
a moment, his knees bent outwards,
his feet and head hidden beneath
the clothing he wore, and then drop
ped lightly to the floor. •»

was; would the hanger stand it? It

“Something of the kind perhaps.”

speaking and now he began posi

one of the hotels and pick up the
car from that garage in the High
Street. Then I’ll be right along
at' the Works enquiring for you. I
wonder if you’d mind carrying my
bag? It’s not very heavy.”
Hendringham took the little cash
bag and finding a hat, endeavoured
to give an exhibition of unconcern
by whistlng softly as he made his
way downstairs. His head was still
a litle dizzy and his muscles strain
ed and sore. The situation that has
developed since the previous day
was difficult and apparently danger

I shining exhilaratingly and it gave

General Meeting
of Blanshard
Telephone System
On Wednesday last, January 24,
the 15th annual general meeting of
the subscribers of the Blanshard
Municipal Telephone System was
held at Aberdeen Hall, Kirkton.
The occasion was of special in
terest as the liquidation debenture
bonds issued in 1924 for the estab
lishment of the .System was report
ed.
This meant that in 15 years the
System had paid off over $103,0'00.-
00 in principal and interest and the
original part of the System as pur
chased from the St. Marys, Medina
and Kirkton Telephone Co., now
stands debt free, a lasting and sub
stantial monument to the spirit of
co-operation which has proven that
farmers’ organizations if properly
managed and kept free from politics
and graft can do much to settle many
of the troubles which beset the resi
dents of country districts.
As a result of this payment the
System will now be able to give ser
vice at a lower rate and at the same
time enter upon a program of im
provements which will give better
and better service as the years roll
on. k
As it stands at the present time
it is one of the largest Rural
phone Systems ih the province,
ing a territory some 40 miles
north to south and '30 miles
east to west and covering about
1,0'00 square miles giving service to
more than 1700 homes.
Not all the financial efforts have
been put into the. paying off of de
bentures Or in addition to this a
fund has also been established of
over $5,0'00.00 in cash and bonds
to take care of sqch calamities as
wind, sleet or ice storms.
The officials of this System who
have been responsible for the policy
which has 'come to such a successful
issue are Dr. C. A. Campbell, chair
man of Commission; W. L. Ratcliffe,
Comissioner and S. Adamson, Com
missioner and secretary-treasurer.
This Comniission has had the loyal
support of a staff of linemen and
operators who in no small measure
have added to the success of the
undertaking.
There is now the feeling among all
ranks of the farmer who lias paid
off his mortgage^ but at the same
time there is a determination not to
rest on present achievements but to
strive to the utmost to make his
.System the most efficient in the
Province.

“OUR HERO”
<6
Soldier, Soldier, I’ve been wondering, what would all the newspapers do?
If they couldn’t print ten columns, every day concerning you?
Soldier, Soldier, you’ve been getting lots of advertising free,
The space is doubled, threefold since you signed for oversea.
Soldier, Soldier, don’t be worried, harken well to my retort;
Hitler’s men are poor actors, and can’t win without more support.
Soldier, .Soldier, up and hustle for your lives and freedom too;
Don’t let Hitler get a footing or a chance to conquer you.
Soldier, (Soldier, I’ve been wopdering who would grab old Turkey's dough?
If the Russians don’t bet busy and win forty battles in a row?
Russian, Russian, you’re not a wonder, as a fighter you’r no whale;
As a puncher, you’re not a master and your efforts will surely fail.
Soldier, Soldier, you’r our hero, and we know you’r in the right, .
To win this awful war, yo need great courage as well as fight.
•Soldier, Soldier, how we’ll miss you, when you’ve sailed the ocean blue,
But remember one thing only, lick that Hitler through and through.
Hitler, Hitler, how it grieves us, that we cannot live in peace,
And maintain our own Dominions. Oh me, oh my, this war must cease.
Soldier, Soldier, do forgive me, now let’s talk this matter o’er.
Say you’ll go and get old Hitler, that will mean ten columns more.
Soldier, Soldier, march up briskly, make a hurried strong advance,
To help poor down-trodden countries, before Hitler wields his lance
Soldier, Soldier, I must tell you, if Uncle Sam, by any chance —
Takes a hand in this conflict, all there’ll be left is Hitler’s pants.
