you kindlee tell me, sir, where could
find Captain King sahibl"
Certainly" King answered him. He
looked glad to be of help. "Are you
travelling on this trainT
The question sounded like politeness
yelling from the lips of unsusplcion.
"Yes, sir. / am travelling from this
place where have spent few days,
to Bombay, where my business is"
"How did you know King sahib Is
on the train?" King asked him, smil-
ing so genially that even the police
could not have charged him with more
than curiosity.
by telegram, sir. My brother had
the misfortune to miss Captain King
sahib at Peshawur and therefore sent
a telegram to me asking me to do what
/ can at an interview"
II see," said King. II see" And
judging by the sparkle In his eyes as
he looked away, he could see lot.
But the native could not see his eyes
at that instant, although he tried to.
He looked back at the train. giving
the man a good chance to study his
face In profile.
"See that carriagew he asked, point
ing. 1.-THE fourth first-class carriage
from the endl Well--there are only
two of us In there; I'm Major Hyde,
and the other Is Captain King. I'll tell
Captain King to look out for you"
"Oh, thank you, sir ~ said the native
OILY. "You are most kind! am your
humble servant, sir!"
King nodded good-by to him, his dark
eyes In the shadow of the khaki helmet
seeming scarcely interested any longer.
Couldn't you find another berth2"
Hyde asked him angrily when he
stepped back into the compartment.
"What were you out there looking
for?"
King smiled back at him blandly.
II think there are railway thieves
on the train" he announced without
any effort at relevance. He might
not have heard the question.
Hyde snorted and returned to his
seat In the silence Of unspeakable
scorn. But presently he opened a suit
case and drew out repeating pistol
which he cooked carefully and slowed
beneath his pillow; not at all a con-
temptible move, because the Indian
railway thief Is the most resourceful
| specialist In the world. But King took
no overt precautions Of any kind.
After more interminable hours night
shut down on them, red-hot, black-dark,
mesmerically subdivided into seconds
by the thump of carriage wheels and
lit at intervals by showers of sparks
from the gasping engine. Then King,
strangely without kicking off his shoes,
drew sheet up over his shoulders. On
the opposite berth Hyde covered his
head, to keep dust out of his hair, and
| presently King heard him begin to
snore gently. Then, very carefully he
adjusted his own position so that his
profile lay outlined In the dim light
from the gas lamp In the roof. He
might almost have been waiting to be
shaved. Long after midnight his
vigil was rewarded by slight sound
at the door From that instant his eyes
were on the watch, under dark closed
lashes; but his even breathing was
that of the seventh stage Of sleep that
knows no dreams.
A click Of the door-latch heralded
the appearance of hand. With skill,
Of the sort that only special training
can develop, q man In native dress In
situated himself into the carriage

without making another sound of any
kind. Kings ears are part OF the
equipment for his exacting business,
but he could not hear the door click
shut again.
For about five minutes, while the
train swayed headlong into Indian
darkness, the man stood listening and
watching Kings face. He stood so
near that King recognized him for the
one who had accosted him on Rawal~
Pindi platform. And he could see the
outline Of the knife-hilt that the mans
fingers cIutched underneath his shirt.
He feigned sleep so successfully that
the native turned away at last

From New FoundIand to Ireland
in Twenty-Four Hours by Air
Route

One of the dreams Of modern
science, a transatlantic aerial flight
has become a reality, according to the
United States Naval Institute Proceed
ings published at Annapolis, and by
Flying, a leading aeronautical maya
zine, both of which relate the details
Of transatlantic flight from New
foundland to Ireland.
In July Of this year a Baltimore
newspaper told of the trip. Anthem
tication apparently is established in
the naval magazines accounts. The
salient facts concerning the voyage,
which is the first Of this kind to be
accomplished in the history of the
world are:
The airplane carrying four passen-
gers, instead of six, left the Newfound-
land coast at 1902 a. M, on July %,
1918, and flew continuously, attaining
a height Of $4,000 feet, for twenty-four
