over the edge for me.
"See here, Fullerton" l said, and 1

people say / do when I'm beginning
to feel ugly, "there are limits, and
I'll pay you the compliment of assum-
ing that you are not quite born fool.
We are going to leave Miss Twombly
out of it; completely and absolutely
out of it,"
You may; but l shan't." he grinned
back at me. I'm point of fact, my
dear fellow, now that come to think
of it, you'll have to leave her out"
Not for anything you may say or
do, or leave unsaid or undOne"
''Yes, you will; and for something
that l may say. And guess this is

road detectives have been looking high,
low and level for you ever since you
stole that inspection motor at the An

''TwOmbly knows about that; and
so does Miss TwOmbly," l cut in.
''They wouldn't give you away, of
course; in a certain sense you are
TwOmbly's guest, and in another you're
his employer. But you'll notice that
neither of these restrictions apply to
me. Now, perhaps, you can understand
just why you are obliged, in ordinary
prudence. to leave the girl out of it
and why | am not so obliged"
miss TwOmbly, herself, has the

at him.
"She has already voted" he said
cOolly. Then: You're not in the
game. BrOughtOn; you don't hold any
thing higher than a seven-spot, and
you are bucking a straight flush. Do
you take fifty thousand and vanish?
That is the one live question of the
moment"
"No."
"Very we'll; I'll give you another
day to think il over; but I'm warning
you here and now that the price will
shrink. 1t is fifty thousand today, say
up to sunset: tomorrow it will be for
ty thousand"

Carbon DiOXide
for Gas Victim

In Bellevue and other hospitals a
number Of experiments have been car
ried ON in the administration of car
bon dioxide to patients who have been
long under ether during operations.
The use of carbon dioxide with great
care in such cases Is said to speed up
breathing. SO that the patients quickly
clear the ether from their systems and
suffer less than the usual i'll effects
from It.
The average case Of gas poisoning is
not the best kind on which to show
the beneficial effect of the inhalator,
according to Doctor Henderson, be-
cause of the fact that such cases have
usually been under asphyxiation for
many hours. During this time. lack
of oxygen In the body often produces
degenerative changes in the nerve and
other body cells. The mere removal
Of the carbon monoxide and the restor-
alton Of thes patients breathing ap-
paratus cannot repair the damage al
ready done throughout the system Of
the patient.

London.-All countries are milking
great efforts to extend their CONNER
cial airways this year. writes Maj. w.

ent Of the Daily News. Indeed. 1922
appears the crucial year for civil avt-
alton.
In addition to new air service In
England from London to Manchester
and from London to ireland, two new
companies have been approvd by the
air ministry to operate continental
services. OF these Daimler Hire, Ltd.
will operate between London and
Paris with a possible extension to
Switzerland, whilst between London
and Brussels the Aerial Routes syn
dicate, Ltd. proposes to operate.
The Instone Air line and Handley
Page Transport will continue their
services to Paris. whilst one or the
other will probably start operations on
the Dutch route.
France, In addition to maintaining
her present services to London. Brus-
sells Amsterdam. Czechoslovukia.
Warsaw, Morocco. etc.. has arranged
to open up the route from Prague to
Constnntlnople via Budapest and
Bucharest. This will be a branch of
the Paris Warsaw service, the juno
ton being Prague. A second route to
Constantinople also will be opened up
by the company, which at present op-
crates the service from Bordeaux-Tou-
louise. Montpelier. This service will be
definitely extended to Marseilles and
Genoa, and will continue to CONSTANT.

nople II circumstances warrant a

Denmark has recently sent a mis-.

tigating the possibilities of purchasing
large passenger-carrying machines for
the opening up Of various Scandinavia
an routes.
Portugal-which so far has dis
played little practical interest in COM
mercial fying-is opening up service
from Lisbon to Paris via ValladOliti
and Bordeaux. The capital of this
company Is two million escudos. at the
normal rate of exchange nbout f375. 600.
This will, Of course, bring London into
direct aerial communication with Lis-
bon. Other Portuguese air services
contemplated are from Lisbon to
Oporto; from Lisbon to Madrid; from
Lisbon to Faro.
Additional links in the European
system which are being opened up by
various companies will enable the
aerial traveller to proceed from Lon.
don to Algeria via Paris and Marseilles
and from London to Morocco via
Paris, Toulouse and Barcelona. The
new Portuguese route will give di-
rect service between London and Lis.
bon and the new French service will
give a direct route from London to
Constantinople.
