English downland came a big troop-carrier plane. Suddenly a figure leaped from it. A parachute swelled out.
Another parachutist followed. And others came after him in quick succession.
The big plane passed on. More machines fol- lowed, more

"Money?. No, it does not bring happi- necessarily ness," he said, as he sat at. the head of the long table in the London council room of the Royal Society of St George, of which he is pre- sident.
"It may bring content as you go along, because making money appears to be the sign of one's success.
"Yet, once you have renched the stage where you are inde- pendent it means nothing in itself. Except this. Wealth
brings its own obligations. Every one, has to recognise and live up to his ideals.'
Thing that matters
What are those obligations? As Lord Queenborough sees it, his present service is to make the Royal Society of St George known and active throughout the Empire.
"Unity of thought, that's the thing that matters," he fired at me. "If you get unity of thought then you bring along unity of action."

"If I were starting again
I would go to America or Canada. I was the laziest dog ever born, but I learned to get down to work in America.
"When I was at the rail- way shops in Derby they reported to my father that I was their worst pupil. Perhaps I liked Rugby foot- ball and lawn. tennis too much,
"Yet I had to do some.. thing! My father had six sons, so I was packed off to America, I was given £100, and my father paid my passage and the first year's keep to the people to whom I went to learn ranching. The rest was left to me.”
I can finish that American adventure, one stretching over twenty years. Lord Queen- borough went from ranching "I was one of a thousand youngsters in that part of the wild and woolly west"-to business life in St Paul, Min- nesota, had five years in Wall- atreet, and amassed a for- tune.

The troops unharnessed their parachutes as soon a they landed, and rushed to a pre-arranged point, their wea- pons ready for action.
Everything went off with hardly a hitch.
True, one parachutist, in landing, twisted his ankle on rough ground, but not badly enough to prevent him from keeping up with his comrades.
There was a comedy touch.

One aquad of parachutists had passed that way. Their instructions had been to use any means available to reach the objective, and the, Prince's car had struck them as the most eligible vehicle.
