Framed in the doorway lay the moonlit shrubs, with pale-looking gravel-walks winding among them, Whejr pallor chequered by fantastically black thadow?, and straight beyond— the marvellous glitter of the sleeping loch, i. Ah the piano. Mabel was. snatching a brief respite from her musical efforts -j-ior the evening stood in the sign of,; Harmony—and meanwhile exchanging! bantering comments with the companyj m general, and with Albert in parti-' cular. i Julia,, wild had no appreciation for music, but a very vivid appreciation for the quality of hex* food, was trying hard not to fall asleep-, and with, this view had taken refuge in a mental re-[ capitulation of the menu just consum­ ed, joined to speculations as to which : of those wonderful dishes might pos-.; sibly be within.the scope of Janet’s < culinary talents.- Straight opposite*: to her Lady Atterton was trying just < as hard not to cry, though it was only.' by keeping her* eyes fixed steadily; voice, so eloquently unsteady, betray­ ed all. Fenella, her heart hammering as hard as that of a bird caught in a net, faced him, wide-eyed and silent, know­ ing that there wixs no escape from his next words, knowing also what they would be, but not yet knowing how she was going to answer, “Miss .Fenella, you know that I care for you dreadfully, do you not, and that I care for nobody but you? I’m not worthy of you, of course—-I don’t think that any fellow is woi*thy of you; but still I would do my best—if only you would have me-----” He stopped, looking at her expect­ antly; but Fenella neither moved nor spoke, and ’’the same big blotch of shadow which was upon his own face veiled hers from him, * “I can’t expect you to care for me as I do for you, of course; but you have been s'o kind to me this summer* that I can’t help hoping.” , Still Fenella stood opposite to him, dumb as a statue, and white also as a statue, in hex* flowing dress and even­ ing cloak. The pure lines of the youthful figure were enough to quick­ en the blood in his pulses, while at sight of a passivity so very like ac­ quiescence, hope hastened to apply her ,spur. -1Z"T*" "—WW “I right, am I not?

It hardly requires any explan­ ation that discipline is the first and last word of modern war. Look at Russia. Comparatively unprepared in 1914, she was able to defy Germany and enter East Prussia, thus giving us valuable time to prepare. Yet the moment she lost her discipline she was unable to prevent an inferior force from over­ running the country. Italy is another example of the vital importance of discipline.^. If we have learned anything in this war it is that discipline and efficiency are the same thing. If Germany had not had iron discipline we should long ago have been in Berlin, and the reas­ on we are now able to drive back the •Germans and capture ground, guns, and prisoners at any time, anywhere on the western front, whereas Ger­ many has not gained a yard of ground ox* won one militax*y success in« 2* J’CSl5,’ IS tixq fact that system of discip­ line theirs.

I can only liken it to the discip­ line of the football field, where every man submits himself willingly to hard discipline to win the match, and plays not for himself but foi* the team, obeying instructions, whether he agrees that they are right or notT Fighting men must submit them­ selves in the same way to Spartan training to meet the conditions of ; modern war—conditions far more se­ vere than obtained in *any war ever fought.

If. hardhr rftnnireR unv exnlan- [ ther<?s (meaning, “huge beasts”) for example, Some of them were nearly as big as elephants; but no human be­ ing ever saw .nne alive. They passed out of existence a mil­ lion or more years ago, and such knowledge as we have of them to-day is derived'from their bones, dug out of the rocks in the western part of North America, They were of many species, and undoubtedly in their time were very numerous. The Museum of Natural History, in New York, has made great collections of their osseous remains; and many of the skeletons it has secured are so nearly complete that its experts are able to make good “restorations” of the creatures, showing what they looked like in life. They were contemporary, in this country, with horses the^size of mod- tapirs ’not much "bigger, camels no larger than cottontail rab­ bits (which seem to have been exceed­ ingly numerous in the plains region of the West), bear-like cats and giant dogs four times the weight of a St. Bernard. In those days there was a land­ bridge across Bering Strait, and ani­ mals migrated to and fro between Asia and North America. Our buffalo came from Asia (say the naturalists) by that path; and it was by the same route that the Old World obtained from this continent the horse and the camel. But the Titanotheres failed to sur­ vive -somehow. Perhaps they were wiped out by bear-cats and other big carnivores. Whatever the reason, they ceased entirely to exist, being re­ placed by other herbivorous mammals better adapted to the American envi­ ronment. *^he who must depend upon Hie bottle ’to, supply nutriment to maintain life needs good care and at­ tention, ^aby may thrive, the mother should have the physician e a formula that will agree > child.

Perhaps he did; there is no telling. But one should remember that man was originally a forest dweller, and that forests are often set on fire by lightning. There is plenty of burning wood at hand on such occasions. Man, originally, did not make fire; he found it. And having found it, he may soon have discovered uses for it’. . But it is an incontestable fact that the natives of the Andaman .Islands, in the Bay of Bengal' depended until very recent years for their supplies of fire upon an active volcano. These people are black pygmies. The men average no more than four feet ten inches in stature, and the women three inches shorter. .An odd Jhing about them is that they nevex* seem to grow up; they look like pot-bellied babies all their lives. • f The Andamans are a very consider­ able archipelago, comprising many islands, large and small, on one of which is the volcano ■ aforementioned. Visits to the burnin'g^mountain, to get fresh fire, were not often necessary, because the “little niggers” (as sailor­ men call them) knew how to keep fire alive almost indefinitely in logs of de­ cayed wood. 2 cups eacn Drown sugar ana wnoie Nothing introduced by the whites--wheat flour, % cup shortening, 3 eggSj humblest man. What the Salute Means. An American, asked me the other day why a British officer drew himself up so stiffly and* looked his brother of­ ficer full in the face when he saluted. I asked him if he understood what the military salute was. He said he guessed it was a sort of homage. I explained that he was entirely mistak­ en. Themnilitary salute is a kind of Masonic sign between soldier and sol­ dier and it originated in the Middle Ages, when only the highest classes of society were permitted to bear arms. When knights wore armor they rode out with the‘visors of their hel­ mets down, covering the face. When two knights met it was the custom for the new or strange knight to raise his visor and show his face, the other then doing likewise. If you perform .-this motion you will find that it is the same as that of the modern military salute. That is why, in our army, a man never salutes unless he has his cap on. It corresponds to the visox* over the face*. 'Unless this discipline is instilled and j instant obedience becomes second na- I ture, an incident which happened ear- feet will be enhanced by at least a one which has probably been answered , , , . ,--------- .. t Fenella, as she asked 4y cunimunuea, wane xviaoei nerseii xvivuseu eug«» ux nw exuan, and laughed immoderately at what, she de-/n the exaltation of hex* remorse held ‘ out both her hands.
