CHARTER XVII.
Ip the Balladroch’t drawing-room a
bright fire-crackled upon the al tap of
approaching Autumn, while the
French windows, standing* open to the
ground, seemed hospitably to assure
departing Summer that the hour of
her exile, though close, had not yet
struck. 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

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.

At this stage of the war no one can
deny that the British have borne a
heavy weight in the war, not only the
little army of 106,000 that saved the
world at Mons but the big British
army now standing between the world
and the Huns of Attila,

army. 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

Natfife seems to hgye made a whole
------xr——. —m- —, - ■,,. .lot of experiments that, were not very Applins, D.S.O., of the British j successful. There were the Titano-
r. 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.

in a place where it will be free from, ■
all contamination. Remember that. -
milk will spoil very quickly if it is
kept in a careless or dirty manner, or
if it is permitted to stand in a heat

that thousands of babies die each year
because of the careless manner in which milk fed to them is handled.

Do not give small children candy.
Large quantities of sugar overheat

if" has been argued that primitive
man piust first have obtained fire
from volcanoes.
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

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*.
