See Yetut Home Printer First CHAPTER 1 CaPtain Simpson's "Get Together" dinner the seecond night out was to answer many questions on board he Orizaba. For, before the dinner was half ever, confetti .and paper( caps made each person look as much of a fool as the next one and accomplish- ed their purpose,eturning a lot of off- ish passengers info a select company of good fellows ready to mellow into Amid. a bedlam of whistles, tin horns, and toy drums, Canaillalnean struck a man at the captain's 'table squarely in the back of the head with a yellow balloon. and he responded by drafting her with strings of colored paper. Names were exchanged and she found that he called -himself Jos -1 eph Asa& and ahat he was going to Syria after a blusi•ness trip to the I pnited States. His manners and his English, she found, were excellent. He woad do, she thought, to while away I the Voyage, provided Michael Gay,1 the American engineer who looked; ed Slim McManus, ,who lodked very very stalwart, or the fellow they ea.11-1 amusin,geklidn't pan out. Every night after that there were cards and danciag and almost every! night Joseph Asad and Camilla went: oup on deck to enjoy the pale Wintry! -moon. He told her onels boyhood in I Damascus, of his: two years in a Brit -1 ish university which he detested. • "Of course you must know all abotit the ,situation. in Palestine," she sug- gested. It was as if she had immediately chosen a subject taboo for -he grew silent for a long moment, only watching the weaving wake of the moonlight on the water. "What do you want me to tell you?"

"You have an air of knowing so much and you say so little." She glanced ,,at him keenly. "You are very much less stupid than you want fne to think you are." It was not indeed a night for thee discussion of polities between two per- sons, one of whom was a young wo- man, adventurous and romantic, .and the other a young man. silent and, mys- terious. And the sudden appearance of MI's. Kittk' Trimble sweeping like a gale down the gangway with Michael Gay, Slim McManus, Nicholas Steph- anov, and the Italian, Torelli, made a diversion which broke the spell. Kitty Trimble was blondish, florid, with a slenderness that bulged here and there. She had beenatveice divor- zed and was looking for Number Three. "Just down . frem. the wireless Kitty, TririSble, Stephanov., and Slim moved aWay for a turn araund the deck. Michael Gay and Torelli re- r,nained to break up the tete-a-tete. %Gay was bound.for Beirut, bringing in the hold of the Orizaba a large bus cif his own design which was to es- tablish a new line of rapid communi- cation across the desert between Da- niascus and Bagdad. It was to- be a of less cOnsequence then a minor strilce at the oil wells. 'There was a . fellowship between Michael and Slim based on, their common loea of adven- ture in'Strange lands. Michael Gay had worked on dams and irrjgatjon projects in rough countries and Stan had been everything from a telegraph lineman' to boss of a constru.ction gang. He had fallen. hard for Camilla and didn't much care for Torelli Who used the dark tones of his voice and the darker glances of his eyes when talking to the girl. So when Camilla reported e conifer- sation laat she • had overheard the eight before, Slim was ready to be- lieve the worst of any man he didn't like. , Three men had eat in deck chairs just outside the French win- dows of Camilla's stateroom, she aaida and conversed in lowered, tones. Cam- illa, her fight out, happened to be a- wake, and listened, "If Barker could only be got out of the way," she heard one man say. "Ah, yes. That is easy to say. But how -where?"' "Here on this ship," the other voice replied. "He comes aboard at Mar- seilles. He must be ptit ota of tae way before we reach Alexandria." ,Then, Camilla said, people passed along the gangway, the conversation ceased, and the three men, as if sud- denly aware of the open window, mov- ed away and were heaed•no more'. What did it all mean'y didift. know, nor 'diet Slim. Who ,was "Dirty doings at 'the .crossroads," Slim' said, wagging his head, It was' therefore with some curios- ity that they watched their neW•trav- ening companion come up the gang- way from the sheds at Marseilles fel lowed by.two porters with heavy Eng- lish travellin'g bags. -Unaware of the. attention he had caused, Me. Barker went sat once to. Captain Simpson's suite below the tridge where he re- mained until the dinner gong, appear- ing at last at the cePtein'setable dress- ed for the evening; Ronald Barker was perhaps an .inch, under six feet, well proportioned with a slenderness that seeated to have come from conetant exercise and ace tivity. This impression was farther enhanced by the da•rkness of his skin, a ruddy brown of suntan too frequeht- ly renewed to bleach easily. They fo out later that he had been born in, New York. of a n American' mother and had gone to Oxford on .a Rhodes scholarship. Ronald Barker gave the impression of great capability' and strength in re- pose.„ In this was the man Camilla's unknown shipmates were conspiring 'against, he seemed- well able to look out for himself. , As aware of the queettene iteaCtetna Ilia's mind, Captain Simpson brought the traveller over to the tahle Camil- la' shared wiih her cousin, Josephine HollowaY, where Slim end Michael had brought their coffee cups. Mr. Barker had.an appropriate phrase and a ready enlile and Michael Gay under- stood 'in a enoment that- he knew his way abouut the world, especially about Syria and Palestine, even better than Gay did, was interested in Gay's projects but not enthtislaetic in his approval of them. "This ,inachine 'of yours," Ihe said, "may be marvellous but it seems. to me the time is not' right for Such •an experiment."' Asked what he meant, Mr. Barker said that the affairs of Syria and Pal - "Have you spoken to anyone else?"

"You know, I'll be counting on you, Camilla. Straight acress the Syrian Torelli smoked in silence, his gaze on Camilla. "It is a considerable .danger if 'you take these iovely ladies as passen• gers," he said. "That's tip to the lovely ladies,'' laughed Camilla. "You add Courage to your other charms, Mies Dean." The idea of this trip to the eity of the Arabian Nights had taken hold of the itiaagination of at least six of the tourists.

The COieversatitin that Camilla had everheard hed added to her curiosity abont her travelling ;companion. W:hat was the reason these Men wanted him to die? Why was he going to the East and what was Ills mission that aroused such animosity? 'Slim had in- sisted that one of the• men must be Asad, if it wasel Terelli, but Cameia assured him that she weuld have re- cognized the voiee of either of them. There were many other potential en- emies of Ronald Barker, of course - the Egyptian, an Armenian, several Syrians engaged in commerec pua, sults.

What Is The (Toronto Saturday Night) The cleirng hours of the session of Parliament which adjourned last week, were productive of more bitterness and recrimination, not ,ameng the members themselves irtit in the public' press and among outsi,de speakers, than we have witnessed at any time since the,war began, with the pdssible exception of the closing weeks of last February when: a ' similar"' attack of national jitters produced a similar outburst. We have the highest re- spect for those whose honest convic- tion that Canada should .be doing mere e-ar (and in particular 'should be raising an adequate military 'force by means 'of compulsory service) leads' them to critieiseethe manner in which the King GoVernment is managing our military effort; but our respect ceas- es at the 1:.noment whep this criticism ceases to pay any' attention to the lim- its of truth and reason. and it turns Mae soMething very like indignation 'when, unreasonable criticism :is loud, ly voiced at a moment when it botind to Impede the efforts• of the Government to finance -the war by a very large lean fit:dation. The policy to be pursued, not by Canada alone hut by all' the compon- cat nations of the' British Common- wealth, and le close co-eperation also with the United States, in regard to commerce with Japan is the kind of sebject about which 'no light will er- et: be developed. ly impassioned dis- cussion in elle headlines of sensation- al newspapers and in the oratory of ',listings speakers. The policy to. be pursued towards tbe diplomatic re- presentatives of the Vichy Govern- ment is. another subject of exactly the s,itine rend. (critics 'of the latter ap- pear to have forgotten entirely that the continuance'of a Vichy envoy at Ottawa makes possible the continu- at Vichy. which is not without its va- lue). The policy to be pursued to- wards labor activities which may or may not be subversive merely bee cause they atm at establishing a high- er price for certain kinds of labor, is :I, third subject. Discussion of all these subjects in Parliament bas been on the whole reasonable and co-opera- tive. Discussion of them in a large plot of the pl:ess has been bitter; vin-. Cietive, and apparently based on the contection that the existing Govern- ment in Canada can be overthrown by a sufficiently reckless campaign of clamor and vituperation. It is, we think, time that the ser- ious people of Canada set themselves to the task of inquiring what is the o,bjeative of these Menoeuvers. The newspaper which has been most con- spicueius in them is one which is at present in streng sympathy and inti- mate relations with the premier of Ontario. Is it these belief of the grOup responsible for this campaign that, with the advantages afforded by the collaboration of Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Aberhart, a movement can be set go- ing sufficiently po'Werful to get rid' of Mi.. King' and those who would leave 'the Ottawa front benelhes along with him? Thlit it can be Made impossible for , to carry on? That would seem to be the only intelligible objec- tive for such a campaign; and yet what siga has there been that there is. the slightest. posaibility of its suc- cess?

They attend the various -functions designed to raise funds for the continuance of 'the clicireh's work. As such they must be coesidered as any other church mem- ber who is conscientiously striving to support the church and what it stands for. While newspapers are more gener- ous vvith space to churches than to other institutions, this 'is simply a re- cognition by the press of the premier place held by the church ia the spiri- tual and Moral sphere in the commun- ity. However, the church has no legal right to expeet the press to give more generqusly than any individual ehurch member. It is hot expected ofi, the man who sells the church fuel, or the public utilities which serve t h e church. In larger centers if is n:ot ex- Pected that the organist should give his services free, or that the caretak, er should work without remuneration. The press, we' believe, win always recognize the position and value of the church in the community. It will re- alize that the community without. the church' would be like a rudderless ship, not knowing whence the tide of events and fortune might lead it. The press will continue to glee service to the church as one important institu- tion to another, but the church must also realize that to continue its ser- vice, not only to the church but to the community, the ,newspaper must have an inceme, and that income can only come feom the space it sells in its columne. This same reasoning Must apply to charitable organizations in the community. To them the pub- lisher and the men and women who work for the publisher give generous- ly of th.eir private means and of ther tinie mid talent.
