BROADCASTING. "My Ruth—carried off—on the `Sea Vamp!' " Nita Walden repeated her words hysterically over the telephone. Gar- rick knew that there was no ase now to camouflage his fears. "Ill be out there—with you—in a few minutes," he shouted. Dicic was still in a daze at the un- expectedness of the blow. Mechanical- ly he followed Garrick and climber into the ear.

Letters Now, Paris "Ecrivain" Mourns With the disappearance of illiter- acy from Paris the once flourishing vocation of the public letter writer gradually disappeared, until the other day Le Petit Journal announced that there was not a single "Ecrivain Pub- lic" left. This statement was immedi- ately denied by a reader who sent the paper a photograph taken in a little street near the . women's Prison de Saint Lazarre, showing the sign of a shop there, -which read: "Ecrivain Public. Ecritures Authentiques•.' So the paper sent a reporter to in- terview the owner of the shop. He observed au elderly woman seated be- fore a high desk busily engaged in writing. She mournfully told the re- porter of the • brave days when "no - "I want to see Nita Walden first, and reassure her. I promised her." "But—it's Ruth first." "Well, the club isn't far."

Pay nothing. Yes a Brillion to catch them and save her . . , but not a cent of ransom." The room telephone rang. Dick an- swered it. "It's Glenn downstairs, with Dr. Darling of Stony Brook." Dicic said no more but Garrick understood and excused himself. At the desk stood the doctor alone. "I've got hint out in my car. I thought he'd beter see you first—or he did, rather." "What's the matter?" The doctor did not answer but led the way outside. There eves, Glenn, wrapped in a heavy robe, his head body could write" and when she Pen- 1 bandaged, still very shaky.

But it is only copying; there is no romance to it and my imagination is dead.

' "No. Doctor, put him up where he can get over this quick. I'll need you, boy, tomorrow, need you badly. Get in shape." Glenn obeyed with, for him, good grace, and in a moment, with the full story, Garrick and Dick were speeding to Rock Ledge. There were no form- alities necessary at, the Radio Central for n' combination like Garrick and Dick, wno wa;. a constant frequenter until I could see you." In the rapid fire of questions, it ap- peared that Ruth had been getting more and more anxious to do some- thing. Vira had confessed to her that she had seen Garrick and when Glenn arrived he told of his !meeting on Main street and Garrick's message. They had agreed that the first thing to be done was to fix it so that the "Sea Vanip" could not be moved away and Ruth had insisted that she be driven over there that evening so she could disable the engines and stake it impossible. They had agreed. "But why?" asked Dick. "Why? Don't you got it? The 'Sea Vamp' was really the floating store- house for a lot of wet goods we were dealing in for Georges and the rest. That was Brock's real job." "I see," encouraged Garrick. "And Ruth thought they might move . the boat away. So she started prevent that -and left hie the note about it." "Yes," nodded Glenn, adjusting the bandage more comfortably. "Well, when we got over there it was dark. There wasn't even the light on the boat.

I had a vague feeling there were a couple at least back of me." "So," Dick mumbled sarcastically, with a side glance at Garrick. "Ruth knew very well what she was doing, eh?" Garrick was too big to take offence, "Dick," he repdied merely, "Ruth con- fided in me, that morning at the Usonia. She's really. clever.

Neill, vice-president and managing director, and Morris W. Wilson, general manager. Sir , Herbert, in addressing the shareholders, pointed out that in spite of the losses incurred by thou- sands of investors throughout Can- ada' and the United States, th-e strength of the business structure is such that there is no reason to look _forward to more than a moderate re- 0050i0n in business during 1930.. Dealing' with conditions in Canada, Sir Herbert- stressed the That that neither the prospects in foreign trade nor the situation in Canadian Indus- try, trade and agriculture, warrant pessimism concerning the outlook for the coming year. Industrial Advisory Coimofl. After dwelling on the success ob- tained by President Hoover in secur- ing the active co-operation of indus- trial leadership throughout the coun- try in the recent crisis, Sir Herbert urged that it would be to the advan- tage of Canada to establish a non- partisan Advisory Council, composed of men of outstanding ability, repre- sentative of industry, agriculture and labor. This council would .bring about a close rapprochement be- tween government, industry,, agricul- ture and labor that would assist the formulation and execution of effec- tive measures for the maintenance of that equilibrium which would ensure stable prosperity. Vico-President's Address. C. E. Neill, vice-president and managing director, submitted to the meeting a very interesting- proposal by which Canada -might benefit to a far greater extent Prem the tremen- dous'tourist traffic that is coming annually into the .country from the United States, "Canada," said Mr. Neill, "is at- tracting approximately fifteen mi1- lion • visitors a year. This great an - mull migration eeresents an unapar- alleled opportunity for inoreaeing our trade. As yet there hes beenno_ concerted effort to build the tradi- tion that there are purchases which* can be made in Canada more advan- tageously than in the United States. If we could make purchasing in Canada sufficiently attractive, it would make a difference of more than one billion dollars a year in our trade." General Manager's Address. Morris W.' Wilson, general man- ager, reviewed the 60th annual re- port and balance sheet, 'for the year ending November 30.

The teacher that ignores all this, The Fair -Maid And Her Flower That old Gaelic Saint, Bride or Bridget, the fair maid of Feksuary, had three symbols, the sea bird known as the oyster opener, the lam:., and the dandelion. The oyster opener crying along the shore was the fisher font's sign of the maid's advent.

The flower has thus a halo of roe mance about it, A commonplace of the countryside, it has had uncom- mon recognition and revbrenoe. Once this "little flame of God" was eagerly awaited and welcomed. Looking into its eyes men read deep secrets. Lis- tening to its Ilower speech they heard great gospels.' Once the fair maid's suit -bright dower appeared in the wayside grass, men rejoiced in new atssurance.of hope. Its coming was no common vent.

Many begrudge It any place in the sun. 01 their charity they may tolerate a few daisies or buttercups, but not 'dande- lions.

Garrick finished. There was a sil- ence. He looked about stupidly. Not that he could have expected anything else than silence, Yet it was weird, uncanny. He had spoken to a mute and invisible audience. Was it one„ a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thou- sand? No one could do ether than guess. "Always the radio is a tempera- mental thing, that is, if you can say inanimate things are temperamental." Garrick turned. It was Professor Vario who had just heard he was there and had hurried into the building at the news. "Now, Dick," exclaimed Garrick, when they were outside, "I've got that first call off.
