Heavy grilled doors 'opened, -into an English basement. rrwo or ' three smart motors were !strewn up along the curb. "Recherche!" nodded Dick, hesitat- ing a bit. Garrick turned h. at the gate and 'pressed a button by the side of the moors. "Aren't I select enough for the Inner Circle?" He straightened with ltrue British swank. • The door swung open. Garrick in- Yjuired nothing, explained nothing. Pe inclined slightly toward Dick to (precede him, and they passed the Am- • pricaitized butler. It had been a mag- ttifieent ge: time on Garrick's part. The itiost difficult thing had been accom- plished on sheer nerve. He might have owned the place as -e led the way up the short flight of Lairs from the former basement. - G -f'Monsieur Georges—as I live!" 1 Garrick grasred the hand of a thick- itet, erect, very dark Frenchman with le black, pointed mustache. He had peen standing just at the head of the tairs. "Ah -h! It is Monsieur the Ad - 'Wren" The Frenchman grinned pleasantly, displaying rows of splendid teeth. Indeed he seeped in fine trim.

She beekoned thein out into, the hall, "Of course, I can't show you around up. here, You see, these are the lodgings of abnnt half a dozen members and, believe me, they pay. That was a lounge, really for ladies." She was leading then back down the thick - carpeted hall, "Theie's one thing you might be interested in." She opened a coor and they followed her down a flight of stairs, then down. another flight that led to the former basement. Luscious odors of cooking smote their nostrils, • They emerged' into the kit chert. Ruth opened another door and disclosed a stairway down into the cellar, in which a light was burning;. She started down, and the door closed behind thein, Ruth was moving to- t'ard the front of the building. "I suppose you've been wondering," she. said, "where the things are you usu- ally find in a cellar." She paused and open a door in the front, then, with a twinkle added, "The heating' apparatus. Dials's' face fell and Ruth laughed outright, ' "That was a mean orie, Dick, Disappointed? 'I get you. Well, as I was saying, the most interesting part of a house nowadays is the cellar!" She winked and stood before a lit- tle iron door. This must be what you expected, The vault ... only this is built out under the sidewalk. Now . , gloat!" She swung the door open. It was dark and dank inside and cobwebby. The light from). the cellar did not shed any ray into the vault. Ruth held the door, and sealing, gently took Dick's arm and guided him in, then Garrick.

A gong began ringing stridently. It seemed as if the very floor on which they stood was moving. Garrick ran his hand up over his head. Here, was a heavy iron bow. The top of the U seemed to be parting iron doors on either side. "Hang it," growled Garrick, "the :ash lift!" They stepped off the lift, • Slowly the platform began to sink arid the iron. doors close down over the U, Back of thein was the iron grill of the Inner Circle. Dick looked at the fence, then at Guy, and laughed foolishly. Just as the lift doors clanged shut there came a voice merrily from the depths: "You can't slide down my cel- lar door!" .(To be continued.). doter of the place. For ten or fifteen minutes Garrielc reminisced of the old days before and during the war. Gradually Dick pieced together the drama of the pre-. sent. It seemed that a group of rapid young people, many of then his own acquaintances, had started what they called the "Fifty Club." There had been a split of some kind, reducing the stalwarts down to twenty. The twenty had tried to go it alone. But it had been too much for their allowances. It had been a bit too exclusive. • Now it was really a private club run oy M. Georges who had catered to the elite of a generation at the Chateau Rouge. Mostof the twenty had stuck, and enough of the selected elect ad- mitted by card kept the Inner Circle going. The long, wide, high-ceilinged par- lor of the old house had been remodel- led into a dining room with a beautiful dance floor. Outside they could hear the plaintive rhythmic notes of the club's own Hawaiian orchestra of three performers. As nearly as Garrick could make it out, M. Georges was making an ex- cellent thing out of the revolt against reform. In a hill of the conversation and above the- soft Hawaiian strains float- ed new voices from a table outside. "Well, Glenn, here vie are, alone— for once," Dick peered cautiously out through slightly -parted portieres and nodded to Guy. It was Vira, "It does seem good, doesn't it?" she was saying. "No Rae, no Ruth, no rumpus. Let's have no worry. You've been looking nervous lately." "Viva, you're great tonight. That violet tweed is slick. If I stole a kiss ... would' you register anger? That's the word they use, isn't it? Register?" Glenn chuckled contented- ly as they toyed with thin -stemmed glasses. "It's mighty fine of you, Vira, to noticeiight. I haven't been think looking q g you cared any more for rte than for the rest of them. To tell the truth I am worried .... but I can't tell anyone " "I don't believe it's over exams. You don't seem to be carrying your I Horace or calculus around in your pocket. You're not in love, are you, Glenn?" Vira gave him a look that would have thrilled the audience of any mt,vie palace from coast to coast. Glenn reached over, tools her hand, passed his foot under the table and 1 laid it gently over her dainty ankle. "Honest, Vire, I love you!" Then he added fervently, "I want to get you in nay racer, soon, and we'll motor out to some nice quiet spot, like Canoe Place used to ... and I'm going to Stell you all about it. Will you let me tell you?" i "Dear boy, I'mi just dying to go on Ithat ride with you." "Make it tomorrow, Vira," Glenn Itook her hands and toyed with the ring finger on the left hand. "Well you dumbelis I" laughed Rae, suddenly poking pretty .piquant face around the corner. "What are you doing, Vera? Rehearsing a scene on Glenn? You're not failing for it, are you, old Clear?

Journals Alarmed ed At Insect Invasions Redoubled Warfare , on. Fruit • Fly Held Necessary Both "Nature" (England) and ,"In- dustrial and Engineering Chemistry" have recently expressed alarm over the increased difficulty of insect control. "The recent invasion of one more in- sect, the Mediterranean ., fruit fly, serves again to gall our attention to the, never -ceasing warfare between man' and these tiny competitors. We confess that dere is almost enough in the situation to make us' pessimistic," says the latter journal,"Nature" is concerned chiefly with the spread of the buffalo fly in Australia. This in- sect was brought in from Java. Con- ditions them 'tuake the insect less de- structive than in Australia, where the plan of cattle raising—the cattle being rounded up but once ih a year, or even two years -makes its control next to impossible. "The raising of fat cattle for slaughter is rendered almost int - possible at certain seasons, and, indeed, it seems possible that this pest may prove to be a• main limiting factor in. beef production in the northern areas of the commonwealth. In view of the. avorld position in the beef industry, the, situation is disquieting from au empire point of view," says "Nature."'

Unfavorable features in the situa- tion were, first, the small crop of the Prairie Provinces and the slow move- ment of the grain toward the sea- board, and secondly the crash in -the stock markets. "Tbere never was a time in the his- tory of Canada," said Sir Charles, In summing up conditions, "when busi- ness as a whole has been at a higher peak than during the year under re- view, or when the developed sources of our wealth were more wide and varied than they are to -day, and never a time when the earning power of OUT people was sustained in SD many channels of production.
