"I've got them here, sir." Some papers were shoved across the table. Every one bent forward. Presently Mosgorovsky raised his head again. "And the list of guests?" "Here." The Russian read them. "Sir Stanley Digby. Mr. Terence O'Rourke. Sir Oswald and Ladj Coote. Mrs. Macatta. Mr. , James Thetlger " he paused and then asked sharply: "Who is Mr. James Thesiger? The American laughed. "I guess you needn't wortjrfany about him. The usual complete young ass." jJfL The Russian continued reading. "Herr Eberhard and Mr. Eve f s- leigh. That completes the UstJ? "Does it?" said Bundle sfieritly "What about that sweet girl, Lfrffr Eileen Brent?" ''Yes, there seems nothing to worry about there." said Mostror- oveky. He looked across the table, "I suppose there's no doubt whatever about the value of Eberhard's Invention?" Three o'clock made a jatohle British reply. "None whatever." Worth Millions "Commercially, it should be worth millions," said the Russian, "And Internationally welL one kriows only too well the greed of nations."

But you know?whiJ3nventions are," said the American. "Some times these darned things won'' work." "A man like Sir Oswald Coote will have made no mistake," said Mosgorovsky. "Speaking as an aviator myself.1 said No. 5, "the thing is perfectly feasible. It has been discussed for years but It needed the genius of Eberhard to bring It to fruition. "Well," said Mosgorovsky, "1 don't think we need discuss mat- ters any further. You have all seen the plans. I do not think our original scheme can be bettered. By the way, I hear something about a letter ol Gerald Wade's that has been found a letter that mentions this organization. Who found it?"

'Hurrah!" cried No. 5. "To An na!" All hands flew out In the same gesture which Bundle had noticed before. To Anna!" One o'clock acknowledged the salutation" with a typically foreign gesture. Then she rose to her feet and the others followed suit. For the first time, Bundle caught a glimpse of No. 3 as he came to put Anna's cloak around her a tall, heavily built man. Then the party filed out through the secret door. Mosgorovsky secured It after them. He waited a few moments and then Bundle heard him unbolt the other door and pass through, after extinguishing the electric light. Bundle Released It was not until two hours later that a white and anxious Alfred came to release Bundle. She almost fell Into his arms and he had to hold her up. "Nothing," said Bundle. "Just stiff, that's all. Here, let me sit down." "Oh, Oord, my lady, it's been awful." "Nonsense," said Bundle. "It all went off splendidly. Don't get the wind up now it's all over. Jt mightj have gone wrong, but thank good ness it didn't." "Thank goodness, as you say, my ady. I've been In a. twitter all the evening. They're a funny crowd, yoii know." THE INQUEST Bundle reached home about 6 ajn. She was up and dressed by half-past 9, and rang up Jimmy Theslger on the telephone. The promptitude of his reply somewhat surprised her, till he ex plained that he was going down to attend the inquest. 'So am I," said Bundle. "And I have got a lot to tell you." Well, suppose you let me drive you down and we can talk on the way. How about that?" "AU right. But allow a bit extra, because youll have to take me to Chimneys. The Chief Constable's picking me up there." "Why "Because he's a kind man," said Bundle. So am I," said Jimmy. "Very kind." Oh I you you're an ass," said Bundle. "I heard somebody say so, last night." "Who?" 'To be strictly accurate a Rus sian Jew. No, It wasn't. It was" But an indignant protest drown ed her words. "I may be an ass," said Jimmy. "I daresay I am but I won't have Russian Jews saying so. What were you doing last night, Bundle?" "That's what-I'm going to talk about," said Bundle. "Oood-by for the moment." In Books Only Sne rang off ln a tantalizing manner which left Jimmy pleas antly puzzled. He had the highest respect for Bundle's capabilities, though there wis not the slightest trace of sentiment in his feeling toward her. "Sht'i ben up to something," he opined, he took a Jast hasty ditnk oi -of fee. "Depend upon it, sh 's been up to something."

"As a matter of fact, they're the sort of crowd I always imagined until tonight only existed in books. In this life, Alfred, one never stops learning." It was a somewhat long story, and Jimmy had all tre could do to keep sufficient attention .on the car to prevent an accident. When Bundle had finished he sighed then looked at her searchlngly. "Bundle?" "Yes?" "Look here, you're not pulling my leg?" "What do you mean?" "I'm sorry," apologized Jimmy. "But it seems to me as though I'd heard it' all before in a dream. you know." "I know," said Bundle sympa thetically. "It's Impossible," said Jimmy, following his own train of thought.

The speaker suggested that there rnlght be some one seeking favors, but "if Old Sam Newton was ln the chair they would never get favors.' That's why they did not want him there. His opponents, he claimed, could give no reason why he should be rejected. He attacked the sewer system work and urged the passing of the bylaws and stated his posl tlon on the policing question. Alderman Prudhomme expressed the opinion that his services would be valuable to the city council and spoke of his previous work there He had tried to put up a fair tight and had defended himself from at Speaking 'bf the policing of. the city, Alderman Prudhomme said the present system of policing was preferable to the old.

Winslow, for her skillful and untiring work as leader of the association, Regret was expressed that she was leaving Prince Rupert and the members joined in wishing her every success and happiness in her new home. The speaker for the evening was Rev. Thomas McConnell, B A., minuter of First Presbyterian Church, who took as his subject, "Co-operation Between Parents, Teachers of his disciples, who were wrang- nrnmi nn rr vrM in rnnca rnmrro the rewards for which were for, namely, humility, kindness, love. 2. Ttye Importance of the things ox tne spirit. 3. The centrallty of the child In the midst. 4. Jesus Himself was present ln the child and, therefore, whoever shall receive one such little child in His name received Him. Was it not, continued the speaker, a matter of great Importance that Jesus had entrusted to this Parent-Teacher Association the task of treating little children in a manner pleasing to Himself? Mr. McConnell then dealt with the Importance of the child.

His comDanlons ask ed him in astonishment what he was doing and what he wanted with that piece of worthless rock. 'Oh! there's an angel ln the stone," was his answer, "and I must get it out." He had It removed to his studio, and with patient toil, with mallet and chisel, he let the angel out. Such was the task which con fronted everyone Interested ln the education of children. There was an angel in every pupil, unnoticed though it might be by the many. "But it is our task to let the angel out. The young people of our generation are capable of being messengers of light anchlove; of heal ing the sores of our war-cursed world; of love and unselfishness of service. What are we doing to let the angel out? In the hearts of many of our young people there are unexpressed desires to measure up to the responsibilities they are even now conscious confront them in the world. They must be equipped to meet them when the time comes and occasion demands."' Mr. McConnell then discussed "When and Where Does Education Begin?" The answer was the home with the parents, ana more particularly with the mothers'. To a mother a child was an Immortal being, whose soul It Is her duty to 1 train for immortality. Education masters made good scholars; good mothers made good men. Instruction might be Interrupted, but education should be of one piece; whatever interrupted it hindered It; whoever abandoned it, after having undertaken it, might see her child lost in the wanderings of er ror, or what was more deplorable to utter Indifference to virtue. Co-operation between parent and teacher was next dealt with. The (parents had not shelved their re-! sponsibillty when they sent their children to school. They hadj merely called to their assistance, those who were specially equipped by training and experience to impart that Instruction the; themselves had not the time or training to give. It remained the task of the parents to give effect to what the teachers were trying to do. The patience shown by the teacher, his interest in his work and in the wel-fare'of the children, should be rewarded by the heartiest co-operation and friendship of the parent. The church, through Its ministers and teachers, must also play a vltalJ part In the full symmetrical education of the child. The Bible should be his great classic and the truths taught by the great Master Teacher whose influence for good in the world has never and can never pass away should be'hls guide in all the experiences of his life. During the evening J. W. Plom-mer, accompanied by Miss E. P. Grassle, sang two solos: "An Irish Lullaby" 'and "The Connemara Shore." A hearty vote of thanks was ac corded to Mr. McConnell and to Mr. Plommer and Miss Orascle. After the singing of the national anthem, refreshments were served in the rooms of the Home Economics Department. Sport Chat and Ministers in the Education of Children." Mr. McConnell said !
