SERIAL STORY SPEOAL 1 NVESMATOR BY BLANCHE ROBERTS THE STORY: Judith Kingsley is secretary to the president of an airplane factory. Her employer is sending her to the factory's west 'coast branch to investigate a "leak" in the organization. Boarding a westbound plane Ju- dith sees Tom Burke, whom she loves 'and with whom she has quarreled. Tom is also bound for the west coast factory with plans for a new bomber. Before the plane leaves Judith sees two men watching Tom intently. CHAPTER ll "Comfortable?" inquired the air hostess, bending over Judith and smiling pleasantly. "Oh, yes," she answered cheer- fully, even though she felt de- pressed at the moment. "May 1 get you something?" Coffee or fruit juice?" "Nothing, thank you." Judith had missed her lunch but she wa not conseioue of hunger; her mind was too busy with other thoughts. The pretty girI turned to the man across the aisle and repeated her questions.. Judith started at the sound of his voice. He spoke with. a heavy accent, gruffly, as if lie resented being bothered. When the hostess passed on, he looked at Judith. She smiled, and for a moment it seemed he would not return her greeting. Then he grinned, hreaking the stern ex- pression of -his face. But his eyes, did not smile, only his mouth. Judith had heard of cold-blooded people and now, she was sure, she had met one, .."You like flying?" he asked, and his voice made her think of. soineone with a mouth, full of mush: "1 think it is the only way to travel," she answered. She de- cided if the gran thought she was easy to talk to, then she would not be taking too great a risk in speaking to Burke later and warning hint to watch out for this fellow. • Alter n moment the man in the seat in front of her craned his neck to look at her. Site tried the sante winsome smile on: him 'and it worked. "Everybody on this plane will believe I ani an easy pickup," she. told herself. "But so much the better." She instantly averted her eyes and looked out the Win- dow.. As the miles flew swiftly by, Judith thought over the situation. "Those men watching • Tont know about the plans 'he is car- rying. The blond one is a. for- eigner, and the one to fear.. I don't know about the heavy Irian in front of ane. He may be just at curious passenger." She opened her purse and felt dile small automatic there, Then her hand came in contact with a tiny package. She pulled it out to have a look and her eyes wid- ened. "Ye fishes!" she thought. "Hel- en's sleeping' medicine she had me buy for her this morning." She lifted her eyes and looked at the back of the man's head in front of her.

She was supposed to be an intel- ligent investigator, not a silly girl. * * She turned again to stare at Tom's seat and as she did, he turned his head -and glanced back- ward. His dark eyes met hers in astonishment. A bright gleans flickered in then and died as she chose to ignore him. • He faced the front abruptly and she smiled, satisfied with the turn of events. The man across the aisle grinned at her, thinking probably that she had tried to flirt with the young man and been snubbed. "At least, Tout knows I are "On business --- not following you," she said eurtly, "Oh!" The way he said the, word was maddening, "You're horrid, Tom," .she said,. her cheeks burning. "Mr. Wet- son is sending ane to the coast to check on the offiee force there. But that's beside the point; I'nx ,. sure one or both of those men at the end of the counter are intern estecl in you or the. plans of that bomber. I thought you might like to know." But he did not bother to glance where she indicated. "One sits behind you and the other across the aisle." * * Still he did not act as if he be- lieved there was any truth. in het suspicious, After that she ignored • him, even when ho asked: "Don't you feel anything, ting here by ane?" She. could have slapped him for asking that question. Of course she felt something- — that same old quickening of the pulse and breathlessness that glade her weak in the knees. She Wanted to for- get the quarrel and feel safe once more in her arras. Between bites of food he said, "Thanks for the warning, darling: I more than appreciate your ine. terest." There was a twinkle in his eyes that infuriated her. "I don't want anything to hap- pen to the plans," she said sweet- ly. He deliberately turned and grinned at her. He was so Much better looking when he smiled. She gave her stool a spin and slid to the floor. Without a backward glance she walked to the cashier, paid her check and left the cafe, red head in the air.

Shortly after that, alight in the' front of the ship flashed "Please fasten safety belts." The big ship came down on the runway without a bounce, taxied back to the buildings and rolled to a stop. Judith was the first passenger off. But she lingered nearby to give Tum Burke an ope portunity to reach the cafe first„ She followed him in and sat down at the counter next to his stool, "Please continue to be indiffer.. ent, but listen to me," she whis- pered as the other two men took places at the far end of the cou.n., ter by the door.

Before she realized what was happening, she was pushed into the cabin of the plane. "Just what do you know about: the plans and who•told you? It was a secret." Toni's voice was low and his hand was warm and firm on her arm. "Mr. Watson told me. He thinks there is a leak in the company and I'm on my way to investigate the office force at the factory." She looked squarely into his face, chin up. "Something tells ane the for.. eigner knows you have the plans." "Well, don't worry your beau.. tiful little head, honey," he told her, and his own head bent to- wards hers. She stepped back instantly. "I am merely minding my job," she said cuttingly and sat down. "Then I'll ignore you," Burke moved on to his place, but turned and looked back at her before he sat down. Their gaze met and held until Judith pulled her eyes away.

Canadians Serve On All Seven Sugg Speaking officially at the open- ing. of the Canadian Naval War Exhibition iu Toronto the other day, the Hon. Angus L. Macdonald, Navy Minister, said that Canadian sailors undergo terrible hardships, aro beset by dangers from above and below, are fighting the enemy and the weather simultaneously. He termed the sailors .01 the Em- pire "as deserving and valiant a breed. as ever •engaged in a noble task." - • It was 0n behalf of these men shortly after Trafalgar that a few business men !u 010. London creat- . ed the atmosphere that made it possible and desirable to launch the British Sailors' Society -- a.n organization that will within a few weeks celebrate its 125 natal day, and which has, without a break, operated for the filen of the Sen. • * * * Through all ehose years the Soc- iety has moved with the •times and has built up a. world-wide chain of service, by which (to use the words of His Majesty the King when. Duke of York) "it touches the Sailor at every point of his life. It trains hint, houses hint, gives hint recreation., tends him in his old age and helps his.depend- ents. in short, it labours cease- lessly and devotedly for all -that magnificent body of men upon whom the prosperity of the l3ri- tisk Empire so largely depends." Hostels round the coasts of the British Isles and away in the ports of the seven seas have been es- tablished --over 100 hostels, 'sta- tions and agencies through which the sailor is - served in the man- ner° described by His Majesty.. * It is to our hostels. that many survivors of sea tragedies are brought and it is in our hostels that they find comfort, entertain- ment and hospitality- while ar- r'nmit ements are made for them to be re -clothed and sent to their homes, or, in the ease of Allied or Foreign seamen, to be handed into the rare of their own repre- sentatives. The Hon. Angus L.Maedonald, in honouring this the oldest Sailor Society in the world by accepting t h e Dominion Vice -Presidency, said: "1 am very pleased, indeed, to accept this honour and to assoc- iate myself in some small measure with the excellent work which the I3ritish Sailors' Society is doing in all parts of the World at this time. "Perbaps never before has the lot of British sailors been a more difficult and arduous one, and the good work of the Society on their behalf so vitally necessary and so much appreciated."
