there was a gate a little way up on

hands,
"Now then," he said to himself,
"let's begin at the beginning."

content with that.

slept loudly and defiantly; but Antony
lay awake, wondering. What was

Perhaps he would hear in, the lriorn-
ingi perhaps he would get a letter.
He went over the whole story again
from the beginning—Was there any
possibility of a mistake? What would
the police do? Would they ever find
out? Ought he to have told them?
Well, let them find out; it was their
job. Surely` he couldn't have made a
mistake this time, No good wondering.

In the morning there was a letter

"Yes, Do you know tate way?"
"Yes, Start carving, will you? And

round the top of the staircase. An-
tony went slowly in.
When the first edge of his appetite
had worn off, and he was able to spare
a little time between' the mouthfuls,.
Bill gave an account of his adven-
tures. The landlord of .the "Plough
and Horses" had been sticky, decidedly
sticky -Bill had been unable at first
to get anything out of him. But Bill
had been tactful; lorblessyou, how

and while we 'were arguing, Philip
was arrested. It killed my mother—
he was always her favorite—but Mark
as usual got his, satisfaction out of it.
He preened himself on his judgment
of character in having chosen me and
not Philip twelve years before! •
"Later on I apologized to Mark for
the reckless things I had said to him,
and he played the part of a magnani-
mous gentleman with his accustomed
skill, but, though outwardly we were
as before to each other, from - that
day forward, though his vanity would
never let him see it, I was his bitter-
est enemy.

terms of intimate friendship with a
man whom you hate is dangerous work
for your friend. Because of his belief
in pie as ids admiring, and grateful
protege and his belief in himself as
my benefactor, he was now utterly in
my power. I could take •my time and
choose my opportunity,' Perhaps I
should not have killed him, but I had
sworn to have my revenge—and there
he was, poor vain fool, at my mercy.
I was in no hurry.
"Two years later I had to recon-
sider my position, for my revenge was
being taken out of my hands. Mark
began to drink. Could I have stopped
him? I don't think so, but to my im-
mense surprise I found myself trying
to. Instinct, perhaps, getting the bet-
ter of reason; or did I reason it out
and tell niysel.: that, if he drank him-
self to death, I ahoeld lose,,my re-
venge? Upon my word, I cannot tell
you; but, for whatever motive, I did
henuineiy want to stop, it, Drinking

Canadian Air Mail Plane Establishes World's Record
Canada, in proportion to: her size, is making greater practical use of air-
craft than any other country and the "work" records of Canadian airplanes
aro regarded as even more Important eontribtitions to the advancement of
aviation than the endurance elle other stunt achievements of other countries.
Canada's latest and most impressive practical -record in air is in speedy
delivery of air mail and Capt. D. S. Bondurant, pilot for •Canadian Airways,
as a result of a record flight between Toronto_ and Montreal, now holds the
world's air mail speed record.
Capt, tondurant, flying a lairchild "71", powered by a Pratt & Whitney

d sons; wily the English so detest the
n.!Chinese, says .there are perhaps two
d
' main tam ieasons,`;The first is the obvious
ono that they do not understand them
—And the ordinary Englishman hates -
anyt%ting he can't •understand. There
probably is no one in the world with
as much pride of race as the English-
man, except the Chinese. To Chinese
eyes the sight of an Englishman rush-
ing around a playing field. or, still
more, pacing up - and down a room
while he is thinking, is simply childish.
No Chinese will take any unnecessary
exercise. To the Englishman thesight
of a number of Chinese arguing about
some trivial matter at the pitch of
their voices is absurd. No Englishman
will 'make on exhibition of himself if
he can help it
There gra the trivial examples, but
they may be taken as representatives
of the whole opinion that the'British •
in China and the Chinese have of one
another. The Chinese are an exasper-
ating people. There are dozens of big- -
ger matters on which the two races
cannot see alike, and there are char-
acteristics in each which drive the
other load, but it would take a whale
book to enumerate them.
The only point here is that without
an effort the two countries will never
understand each other. That effort
will never be made until what is
known as the "Shanghai mind"—the
spirit of walled -in cliques—is broken.
Ore day it will be too late. The in-
ternal squabbles in China wi11 not go
en forever. When the country has
:settled dawn, then the Chinese will be
strong enough to demand the abolition
of all those special rights to svhich'the
British merchant in China clings, and
to force compliance svith that demand,
The irony of the situation is that the
very day for which British merchants
in China are crying out, when there
will be stability in China, will be their
day of reckoning, •
It may be asked, "Why the British?"
What about the "other foreigners in
China?" The writer has taken the
British as au example, principally he.
cause he has seen more of them than
of other foreigners in China. There
Tare probably other foreigners in just
the same condition as. the British and
some may. even be in worse.
But the British are loss adaptable„
than the Japanese and tee French
and lack the superficial bonhomie of
the American which overlies all their
dealings with the Chinese. Besides,
the British are' undoubtedly the most
important group of foreigners is
China at present There are competi-
tors now in the Chinese markets, but
they have not yet ousted the British.
Whether they will ever do so is anoth-

depend to a large extent on whether or
not the "Shanghi spirit" can be dis-
sipated.—Living Age,

holiday, stopping a week instead of a
few hours at the different ports of
Cali.
"It is by far the best way of seeing
the world," 'she said. "Go to India
by steamer and probably all you see
are Port Said, the Suet and Aden.
We, on the other hand, saw the Per-
sian Gulf, and- flew over Palestine:
"We saw Jerusalem in the distance,
and the Dead Sea, Crete and Vesuvius,
several of the Mediterranean Islands,
and far away we could -distinguish the

"Nor do you fe 3 that you are going
at a hundred miles an hour. To get
the sensation of speed one has to shut
One's eyes, listen to the engine and
imagine you are in a train,, or watch
the shadow of the machine across the
ground."
Miss Chetwynd• told of the places in
the desert where evbn motor cars are
unlntown. At one such outpost of
civilization where the aeroplane stops
for petrol the party .had to 'ride two
miles into a village. The only means
of locomotion that could be produced
for these pioneers of the air were two
comels. "
"My camel was extremely well be-
haved," she said, "until we came to
a gate, when it turned dound, sat
down, and flatly refused to move any
further.
"Being the .first woman air passen-
ger from India to England was child's
play to riding a camel!

"The four pilots, who were the
"chauffeurs" on the trip, were marvels,
of efficiency.
"One would have thought the ser-
vice had been running for months,,
There was not a hitch of any sort"
Miss Chetwynd was never frighten-
ed in the air. Tho only time she ex-
perienced a tremor was at Genoa on
a motor ride round some fearsome
hairpin bends,
"It was positively degrading to get
out of the air," she said.

Hoon winds that wail heartbreakingly
outside
Sound as if somewhere, oh! my sweet,
you cried.
In each flower -face, some grace of you
I see,
A passing sniffle, a glance you gaveto
me,
Soft winds that bfow..wiiere scented
gardens lie
Bring me your fragrance that can,
never die, "
There le no place ht al this whole
world widle.
That I can reach, but you are by niy
aside,
No word I say, but yon are there to
hear:
When mean thoughts come, It is your.
lock I fear.
Closer you come when clay slips into
night,
Holding my soul within your white
soul's light,
So it will be till life and death are one
When re -united• we shall journey on.
