I Phil cat very near to Mrs. McMur I doeh on a settee, scarcely listening I to the conversation, and taking no I part in it. Then a gong sounded and the I party went In to lunch. A white-robed Hindu waited at I table, and Phil discovered his move ments to be Unpleasantly silent. This waiting presently grew unendur able. and: “I hope Mr. Harley is safe,” she said, in a rather unnatural tone. “Surely be should have returned by nowr T • Ormuz Khan shrugged his slight shoulders and glanced at a diumond stddded wrist watch which he wore. Nevertheless, luncheon terminated, and Harley bad not appeared. “You have sometimes expressed a desire,” said Ormuz Khan, “to see the interior of a Persian house. -Per mit ma to show you the only really characteristic room which 1 allow myself In my English home.” Endeavoring to conceal 3»r great anxiety, Phil allowed hereeif to be conducted by the Persian to sc apartment which realized her dreams of that Orient which she had . never visited. Ormuz Khan conducted her to a wonderfully carven chair over which a leopard’s skin was draped and there she seated herself. 3he became aware of a heavy per fume of hyacinths .end presently oh served that there were many bowls «£ those flowers Set upon little tefcles. and In nfchea ib the wait" wJbe wanted to look away but I round herself- looking steadily into I tbe coal-black eyes of Ormuz Khan.

Nlcol Brinn st so opportune a moment were— 1 consistent with the character of that t remarkable man—of a sensational t nature. | Having commandeered the car 1 worn the floor ot the Cavalry Club, ißyWßWffgßfllilgCTiiiiSKanicwggPffi^taiwMßamiHiMHflHHHi he had immediately, by a mental Process which many peril* had per fected dismissed the question of rightful ojvr.erih.p from bis min A Jamming hit hat tightly upon bis bead he settled down at the wheel, drawing up rather closer to the Urn uusfne at the chase lay through crowded thoroughfare* and keeping qfa otrerry comfortably in sight amor* tVest minster Bridge and through the outskirts of London. presently g: a iojk in the road be iff? that the driver of the llaipusftie rad swung tc the left, taking the lofr road, that to the right offering s -frep gradient.

Ite o*.rav-.cr esceeded his expects ilotts and toe round himself mount ing «be acclivity at racing speed. At ire highest point, tbe road, skirting a hilltop, offered an extensive view of tbe valley below. Here Nice! Brina pulled up and. descending, watched and listened.

He knew of Just such a hilly road immediately behind Lower Clnybury station. Indeed, it was that by which he should be compelled to de scend if he continued to pursue bis present route to tbe town. He could think of no large, detached bouse, the Manor Park excepted, which cor responded to the one which he sought. But that ip taking the high road he bad acted even more wisely than be knew, he was new firmly convinced. Ha determined to proceed as far H as the park gates as speedily as pos- = 1 sible. Therefore, returning to the j wheel he sent the cor along the now 3 ievet road at top speed, so that the 3 railings of tte Manor Park, when § presently He found himself skirting H the grounds, had the semblance of a = J continuous iron, fence wherever the = I moonlight touched them. He passed the head of the rood dip- jg Ping down to Lower Claybury, but 3 forty yards beyond putted up and do 3 scended. Again he stood listening. = and: s "Good!” he muttered.

Nlcol Brinn S dropped off and dived into the bushes 8 on the right of the path. Prom this s biding place he saw the automobile ! driven around the front of the honse to the garage, which was built out from'the east wing. Not daring to purane his investigations until the chauffeur had retired, be sought a more comfortable spot near a corner of the lawn and there, behind a bank of neglected flowers, lay down, watching the man's shadowy figure moving about in tbe garage. Although be was . some distance from the doors, he could see there was a second car In the piece— a low, torpedo-bodied racer, battleship gray. This sight turned his thoughts In another direction.

Greensboro News. # | Greensboro Is qpe ’ entire two eitjc I in the south ifi which «M{ter. cbaptdri’ of Potentia, are likely re be started. Niels Gron, originator of the idea, ex -1 plained last night ! | Mr. Gron, a native of Denmark, ha iieen working on his Scheme ever since j 1899, when the first Hague peace con ference was he’d. He thought then, line, still does, that Pctentia will result in business relations all over she world being put on a higher-pUm- a U ,i that « higher standard of morality will follow better business conduct,--- .'. The idea briefly.‘is this: Business men, including manufacturers and those engaged in selling, will Is- given an opportunity to obtain* the seal of I’otentia which guarantees the quality of goods offered for sale. Kor the use of this seal payment is uSaiie to the’ or ganization. A bonding compauy insures statements made by the business man concerning his stuff to the extent of 50,009. The first person proving t any I statement untrue receives this amount. I Manufacturers and retailers are all in terested in securing the Use of the seal., Itut this is only the beginning of the 1 plan, says Mr. Gron. To make the or- I ganizatjon independent some means had ■ to be devised whereby ifn income would j be provided. Granting privileges to business men to Use seal is the method arrived at. Money received- through this method can la- used as the organization sees fit in humanitarian or other- work. A sys tem has been evolved -whereby any board of directors wiiigh .fajis to handle funds properly or who. are not: interest ed in civic betterment can be removed at once. This plan is possible through a system which includes an internation al advisory council composed of two members of each national council. This international emiucil i* -respunsib'c to the national councils which are compos ed of members elected- by , local councils . AH of these councils have hoards of directors who handle the business work. Members of these boards may be re moved summarily by the councils if any thing goes wrong with their activities. But on each of these boards is a mem -1 ber appointed by the notional council j who cannot be dismissed with other 1 members. This has * been ' -arranged so | that at no time will the work of the 1 boards be handicapped because of lack 1 of experienced men. Mr. Gron thinks he has evolved a system which \vi!' handle the situation easily and which will prevent any mismanagement. This is all .for the business side.

Mr. (iron may be a visionary as some have charged, but if he is lie has a big vision. Special Session Appears Matter of Small Likelihood. News and Observer. Revival of speculative comment on hood of a special session of the General '-Assembly in 1928 to consider , Governor Morrison’s proposal for the j establishment of State owned port (terminals and, possibly a line of State j owned and operated steam-ship, gives j added interest to several more or less definite facts. First: The Water Transportation Commission charged by the legislature will the duty of investigating the feasibility of the Governor’s proposal, 1 will not report before February. Second: This commission will report fa vorably on the establishement of terminal facilities at port points and the operation of steamship lines by the State if private interests can not be prevailed upon to utilize them. Third: Immcdiatelly upon (he re ceipt. of a favorable report from the Commission. Governor Morrison will take the stump in the interest of his water transportation proposal, carry ing it before the people as a vital factor if the movement to secure and main tain, by ndequte competition freight rates in -North Carolina and to and from the State. A call for a session after this, it is virtually certain, depends upon the re ception of the Commission's report. At any rnte. n special session will not be '•ailed before March. The Governor’s at titude! is reflected 1 in the three months’ extension of time allowed contractors at work in tlie restoration of the interior of the Capitol Building. It was at first contemplated that the work should be finjshcd by January 1. The extension of -me was showed with the full consent f the Governor.
