“In that prophecy which you committed to insmow." queried Gray. “is there anything tiut par- ticularly points to me as the one who should help You? What does it say?"

"Yea. There is much. Ru- the present, 1 have told you enough‘

"Have you ever mot him?" "Scmewhlt to his surprise the lama seemed to welcome the flue-i- tion.

Piers was still where he had left her, lying in her deck-chair.

They smiled at each other. Gray pissed some remark about the bril- liance of the moonlight. He had de- cided to say nothing about the knife-throwing incident.

“I don't know how much you like the friend you went to see. Colin." she said, drawing s filmy wrap about her small white shoulders. "but I certainly don't like his ser- vent!“

"Why" asked Grey. his own in- stinctive dislike for the hunchbsok deepening.

“Well, alter you'd gone. he sat under that bout over there, and stared at me without moving! He only went away ten minutes sgol" Then came forgetfulness of every- thing save their own two Selves. And so the days passed, and Cel- cutta was reached.

Gray did not see Ssmdsd Chlam- ba again before the Orlumba had docked.

A vast crowd of natives dressed in all colors of the rainbow sur- rounded the flying ground. Several hundred Europeans were gathered around a small blue and silver plane.

In a few minutes Piers was due to start on her much advertised Osl- cutta-Pckln solo flight.

Dressed in her pilot's costume she seemed to Gray to be more attrac- tive thun ever.

“I wish you weren't going on this stunt, Piers!" he said to he: gloomily.

For a moment they were silent. "You almost make me weren't!" she told him in low tons. "Aren't you proud of yourself, I didn't think there was any man who could ever ma-ke ms wish to do something I wanted to do!"

~"I didn't know there was any girl in the world who could make me care what she did!" retortod Gray. "I ironderwhen we'll meet again?"

Piers shrugged her small should- 0TB.

Colin longed to take her in his arms. and kiss her. Piers would rather have like it. But it couldn't be dune.

“A sick man needs you!"

The hunchbsoks pleasure on hearing the lumlrs decision, was a curious set-off to the older man's evident reluctance t0 Bive it. Pretending not to notice the de- forrned- Mongolis malevolent satis- faction, Gray accompanied the pair as for as the suburbs of Calcutta- There, Ssmdad Chiembs halted.

UIGAIETTE CONSUMPTION IN- CREASING IN CANADA

The results of this growing and physically harmful habit are being fearlessly and scientifically set forth by the highest authorities on the use of narcotics.
