could harry the enemy while the frontal attack
was pressed with new vigor. It Is even quite
possible to land machine gunners, with their
guns and ammunition, so that they could 20

DROPPING of messages. plans, supplies and
ammunition is an old story with the expe-
dictionary forces of the Marine Corps in Mica
ragua. And now that the larger parachute
has been developed there is little doubt that in
NY future war this will be an important factor.

pound weight, cylindrical in shape. by means Of
a big chute.
1t would be easy to construct containers Of
light weight, but strong enough to carry hun
dreds Of pounds of supplies. These could be
flown over to a besieged ground force by large
planes, protected by pursuit ships, and dropped
at any desired spot.
The same idea has been advanced for drop
ping express, mail and even passengers from
airplanes, thus eliminating landings and delays
on the ground. It is doubtful If passengers will
ever be sent dow in this way, but experiments
have already been tried with express, and they
have proved successful. Possibly increasing air
traffic may bring this method of package de-
livery into vogue at airports. A plane could
easily fly low, release a small chute, and drop
well packed express onto a previously designated
area. Advertisers have already used tiny paper
'chutes for releasing samples of candy and for
other publicity tricks.
But the romance Of the parachute will always
cling to the man who dives overheard in some
perilous moment, and then waits for a breath-
less instant following his jerk at the ripcord.

INSPECTOR
Scotland Yard.

ScOuand YARD.
I tried to look as though I were used to re-
ceiving visits from officials of the law, but I
was inwardly conscious of a certain amount of
apprehension.
Show the gentleman in, jennings" di-
rected.
The inspector made his prompt appearance.
He looked at me keenly.
Maj. Forester?" he inquired.
THAT is my name" I admitted. -
"A word with you, If you please, sir" ~
MOTIONED to Jennings, who left us. The
inspector, obeying m gesture of invitation.
took a chair.
Il have ventured to call, Maj. Forester" he
began, looking steadily across at me, Ito a Ger
tain extent unofficially. Last night there was
a police chase in this district in which the man
who was hunted rather mysteriously got away.
You will perhaps remember something of 1t,
Sir?"
IT do" I admitted.
The inspector stroked his chin.
1.-THE police who were following the crimi-
nal, and the rest of the crowd" he continued,
"lost him just below your window. Under GER
tain conditions it would come within the prov
ince of my duty to make inquiries at the three
or four houses-this is one of them-in which
the fugitive might have taken refuge"
You can search these premises If you like"
I suggested affably.
Quite unnecessary, thank you, sir" the in
spector replied. 1T will put matters upon a
simpler footing If I tell you at once that I

have just seen an acquaintance Of the wanted
man leave your fiat. You will, perhaps, be so
kind as to tell me anything you may know with
regard to his escape and also the object of
his callers visit to you this morning"
W.ll. there I was, up against it. I told him
the whole story, with the exception of the des-
of escape.
II have told you, inspector, as much as i
intend to-" I concluded, after a brief pause. IF
to answer Tor what I have done, but I do not
propose to tell you the mans present where
abouts until I am forced to-"
My visitor picked up his cap.
II shall trouble you, sir" he said, Ito come
with me-"
Am I under ~arrest?" I asked.
Not precisely-not at the present moment
We will discuss the situation again a little later
on"
I called for my hat and stick, and we left the
fiat. The inspector whistled for a taxicab and
gave an address I failed to catch. We pulled
up presently in a side street on the way to the
city before a large and opulent-looking public
house. \
"a question of Identification, SIR" my COM
panion explained. will you please follow
me?"
I obeyed without demur. We entered the
place unnoticed and sat down at a small table
in the corner. Almost Immediately I rose
again to my feet with a little start of surprise.
The inspector pushed me back again, however,
into my place and. with a peremptory gesture,
checked the exclamation that had almost es-
capped me. I stared across the room in blank

to Waterloo and watched all the trains to
Southampton. I knew where his great pal lived.
Sure enough, last night at 20 minutes to IL
there he was upon the platform. Colson, his
Southampton pal, was with him"
We'll, If you wanted money" I remarked. "he
had some. He could have spared you a little"
That's just what he couldn't do" she replied
eagerly. you'd given him 80 pounds and
enough for his fare. You see, he told me all
about it and how you pushed him in here out
of the street. Colson is sending him to sea to-
night in a tramp steamer bound for South
America. It'll take all the 80 pounds to get him
there. Couldn't you help me a little?" she beg
ged, leaning forward in her chair. Just a few
pounds to be going on with? You helped AL
fred. Surely I'm as we'll worth spending money
on?"
II helped your young man to escape the law"
I replied-'perhaps unwiSely-but I did so upon
impulse and have not regretted 1t. His posi-
ton was O serious one, and I look upon you as
the person responsible for the crime he commit
ted, and not himself
Her face hardened.
Look here" she said. EFF I 60 to the police
station and tell them where he is, there1l be
something for me out of 1t, and If I tell them"
she added, that you helped him to escape, why.
thcre'd be something for me out of that, too"
so, you're trying a little Matchmaking, are

sullenly. Much better to be amiable about it
and make friends"
Now. my first impulse was to ring the bell on
my desk and TO have her shown into the street.
So far as her threat to me myself was con-
cerned, I was perfectly ready to do so. And
then / thought of the man who had sat oppo-
site to me last night and told me his story.
You are perfectly at liberty to inform the
police Of my share in Alfred's escape" I assured
her, but why don't you give him a chance?"
why should -"
Because, whatever he did" I pointed out
sternly, was partly your fault If you're a
sensible woman, you won't do a single thing to
prevent his escape"
She meditated for a moment. She was dis
tinctly no fool, for she changed her tactics very
Cleverly.
I'd like Alfred to have another chance" she
declared. I'D like to let him get away. I
wouldn't even mind going out to South America
after him if he finds a good job, but I ask you,
sir, how am I to live and save enough money
to get there?"
ct OOK here" I said, 80 far as In con-
cerned, I'm perfectly Indifferent as to
any information you could hand to the police,
but I should like your young man to have an
other chance. I will give you rs pounds now in
cash to keep your mouth shut"
Fifty" she suggested, with a ~covetous CLEAN
in her eyes.
My momentary hesitation was, Of course,
fatal. I counted out so pounds. She slipped
from her perch on my desk and departed.
Barely a quarter Of an hour had passed be-
fore Jennings again made his appearance. He
was carrying a card in his hand, and he had
the air of one impressed.
"The gentlemans waiting, sir" he announced.
! glanced at the card.

 Following former Governor Os- born's address, President Stewart expressed his great pride in the or ganization, declaring that all fed eral legislation that has improved working conditions in the govern mental service had been instituted by and carried out under the direc- tion of the National Federation of Federal Employes. He stated that Public service is not place of re- fuge for derelicts-but rather for the highest and most efficient type of workers. MT Stewart emphas- ized that the N. F. F. E., is a bona fide labor union and that the mem bers were proud of the fact, stating that on September IT, 1917, the American Federation of Labor granted national charter to fed eral employees in the name of the first convention stating also that the object of the N.

Montreal Wins Second Game 1

vance on Rangers

New York, Jan. 30.-(R-The Ma.
tional League Hockey standing has q
strange look today with the New
York Americans out Of first place il,
the international group for the first
time since Dec. l3 when they reached
the top. Scoring their second tri-
umph In two days. Les Canadiens OF
Montreal took the coveted position
last night with to 0 victory over
the Americans.
Last nights contest was somewhat
slower than the first game with the
Rangers Monday but the flying
Frenchmen still had enough speed
left to outskate the Americans and
stop every attack after Aurel Joliat
had put them ahead with q flashy
individual play In the opening Pc
riod.
Boston's Bruins, cut the lead Of the
New York Rangers to two points with
their tenth victory In 12 games. The
lowly Chicago Blackhawks were the
Bruins victims last night, going down
by to ] count after holding Bos-
ton even for two slow periods and
half Of the third.
With only three minutes Of the
third period left, Ottawa had q 2 to
0 lead over Toronto. At this point
Cox and Lowrey came through with q
goal for the Leafs and Bailey added
another. The Senators regained their
margin In the overtime, scoring twice
while three Toronto players rested In
the penalty box.

He's Au.Around
Athlete IN Game

New York, Jan. 30.-Too much
knowledge Of other sports explains
why Lionel Conacher, captain and
star defense player Of the New York
American hockey team, has been In
the penalty box more than any other
hockey player.
When the season was only half
over, Ccnacher had been chased from
the game 81 times and had lost 81
minutes Of play. No other player
came near this mark.
"The reason I am fired out Is be-
cause I put more than hockey into
the game" he says.
IAN opposing player is coming down
the Ice with the puck and it seems
. cinch that he viii get in for .
shot. It's my business to stop that
attempt and unconsciously fall back
on other sports. use tackle that
I learned in football, or q check I
learned In lacrosse, or q hook slide
from baseball. Sometimes g wrest-
ling hold comes in handy and I have
been accused Of injecting . bit Of
boxing in stopping man.
'The thing Is you learn things In
other sports which come In mighty
handy In hockey. I get away with
some referees. but with others-it Il
the penalty box for me-"
Lionel Conacher is one Of the most
versatile athletes Of today. He Is at
hts best In hockey, but he has shown
marked ability In the ring, on tht
mat, in wrestling, lacrosse, baseball
and football.
