Thereupon, heaving a loud sigh, he removed his coat, looked about him as if in quest of some place to hang it, and finally fixing his gaze upon the studded grating, stood upon the divan and hung his coat over the spy -hole! This accomplished, he turn - The table was slowly sinking through the gap in the floor beneath. Treading eaft1y, he moved forward and seated himself cross-legged upon it! It continued to descend, and he found himself in absolute darkness. Nicol Brinn ran on to the verandah and paused for a moment to take breath. The window remained open, as Phil Abingdon had left it. He stepped into the room with its ele- gant Persian. appointments. It was empty. But Butn as he crossed the threshold, he paused, arrested by the sound of a voice. "A statement will be placed before you," said the voice, "and when you have signed it, in a few minutes you will be free." Nicol Brinn silently dropped fiat at the back of a divan, as Rama Dass, coming out of the room which com- municated with the " golden screen, made his way toward the distant door. Having one eye raised above the top of the cushions, Nicol Brinn watched him, recognizing the man who had accompanied the swooning lady. She had been deposited, then, at -no great distance from the house. Creeping forward to the doorway by which Iama Dass had gone out, Nicol Brinn emerged upon a landing from which stairs both ascended and descended. Faint sounds of footsteps below guided him, and although from all outward seeming he appeared to saunter casually down, his left hand was clutching the butt of a Colt auto- matic. He presently found himself in a' maze of basements—kitchens of the establishment, no doubt. The sound of footsteps no longer guided him. He walked along, and in a smaller de- serted pantry discovered the base of a lift shaft in which some sort of small elevator worked. He was star- ing at this reflectively, when, for the second time in his adventurous career a silken cord was slipped tightly about his throat. He was tripped and thrown. He fought furiously, but the fatal knee pressure came upon his spine so shrewdly as to deprive frim of the strength to raise his hands. "My finish!" were the words that flashed through his mind, as sounds like the waves of a great erten beat upon his ears and darkness began to descend. Then, miraculously, the pressure ceased; the sound of great waters subsided; and choking, coughinee �- .wa5,, We Way DOI; to 1IIu ' j,Troping like a blind man aril striving to re- gain his feet.

A limousine was be- ing driven away from the side en- trance! Not alone had he heard that sound. His face deathly, and the lack -lustre eyes dully on fire, Nicol Brinn burst out of the room and, not heeding the presence of Harley, hurl- ed himself down the stairs. He was a man demented, an avenging angel. "There he is!" cried Harley—"head- ing for the Dover Road!" Nicol Brinn, at the wheel of the racer—the same in which Harley had made his fateful journey and which had afterward been concealed in the garage at Hillside—scarcely nodded., Nearer they drew to the quarry, and nearer. Once—twice—and again, "I struck him behind the ear," he muttered. the face of Ormuz Khan peered out of the window at the rear of the limousine. They drew abreast; the road was deserted. And they passed slightly ahead. Inch by inch, Nicol Brinn edged the torpedo body nearer the wheels of the racing limousine. The Oriental ehauf- feur drew in ever closer to the ditch bordering the roadside. He shouted hoarsely and was about to apply the brakes when the two cars touched! A rending crash came—a hoarse scream, and the big limousine toppled over into the ditch.

Manchester Guardian (Lib.): It would seem that right from the very earliest days there has been room for two schools of poinion about dancing as an exercise for military men. On the one hand there is the tradition of the "war dance," which is certainly not regarded among those tribes which • indulge in it as an effeminate and,unniilitary pastime; on the: other there is the attitude of Michel, Saui's daughter, who "looked through a win- dow and saw Ring David leaping and 'dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart," Fascist Italy would seem to belong to the same school as Sanl's daughter, for Italian officers have been forbidden to indulge in the Charleston, Black .Bottom and other "exotic dances" lest they shoe d bring the King's (or thie Dace's) uniform into contempt, But Reuter now tells us that when M.

In the debate in the House of Lords the Archbishop of Canterbury said: "Nothing that we have suggested makes any change in the doctrinal position of the Church of England. The balance of emphasis may here and there be somewhat altered." While opposition was expected in Parliament, rejection was not con- ceived possible. How can it be ac- counted for? It is undoubtedly due to a recrudescence of the latent Pro- testantism of the English people—the arousing of the no -Popery spirit which in the past has expressed itself in violent forms. The chief objection in Parliament was to what Arch- bishop Davidson calls "the anxious question" of Reservation. The present rubric merely provides that if a sick person is unable to come to the church and yet is desirous to receive the Communion in his house, the curate may celebrate it there in a form prescribed. The alternative order authorizes the priest to set apart or "reserve" ,so much of the consecrated bread and wine as shall serve sielc persons desirous • of com- municating, and it provides expressly that the elements shall be reserved only for the Communion of the sick "and shall be used fir no other pur- pose whatever." This prohibition is designed to prevent the adoration of the elements, a practice which, it is said, has been steadily increasing in the English church. In the debate in the House of Commons, Sir W. Joyn- son-Hicks charged that "the Saera- meitt,to-day is being used as a subject of worship." In March last the arch- bishops and bishops agreed on strin- gent rules limiting Reservation, which they declared they would putorth in case the Prayer Book measure became law. But, as Lord Hanworth, Master of the Rolls, said in the debate in the House of Lords, archbishops and bishops change. ' Panto Stage Hand (to manager) —f Shall i lower the curtain, guv'nor? One of.the living statues has the hic- cups," Pori ostb te use MVlinard's Linlenen assert that they represent the best and truest tradition of the Church of England. And although they do not say so, undoubtedly they appreciate the freedom which they now enjoy in the Church of England and which they might lose under the stricter discipline of the Roman Church. Some Anglo -Catholic extremists favor dis- establishment, as hi the past noncon- formists did, but this is not a real issue at present. The other altern- atives are to allow -the present chaos to continue, or, as the Archbishop of Canterbury has announced after a conference with the bishops, to recon- sider the revision and send it once more to Parliament. It has been the glory of the Church of England that it is an inclusive church, broad enough to harbor dif- ferent types of belief and practice— Anglo-Catholics, Evangelicals and Modernists. The problem which the bishops now face is to find modifica- tion of the Prayer Book proposals which, while permitting Reservation under ai able rubric will at the same time make such provision against ex- treme practices as will satisfy the in- sistence that the Church of England shall not abandon its Protestant''tra- ditton. But, as -Lord Denbigh said in the recent debate in the House of Lords, speaking as a Roman Catholic who declined to vote on the subject: "1 cannot imagine a more incompet- ent body to which to refer such a question than the present modern Parliament, composed as it is of pro- fessed agnostics and men of various religions, many of whom never go to a place of worship from one year's end to another, except, perhaps, to see their friends married or buried or to be married or buried themselves."
