h-ad to guess, As I’ve told you, there
ar« very few houses about, and there
was only one through which the line
of my patches passed. -Moreover,
as far as I could judge, though
things look very different by day
to what they do at night, that house
gave me ‘approximately the right el
evation. iSo I went downstairs and
focussed my telescope on it.
“It was, as I expected, an ordin
ary farmhouse. There seemed to be
a couple of outhouses and four or
five biggish trees. Moreover, the
whole property stood isolated by it
self, like a little island rising out of
the lake. As far as I could judge,
it stood about a quarter of a mile,
from the main road between Rye
and New Romney, and was connect
ed to -it by a rough track. I could
see no sign of life, until the front
door opened and a woman with a
pail in .her band came out and went
into one of the outhouses. In every
respect a peaceful country scene.
“However, I waylaid the postman
that morning and got some more in

“As you say,” I agreed, “much

“It is not, bless her. Maybe an

is a misnomer, as the soil itself is

place for all that; you feel that any
thing might happen on it.

of those who insist on a love story
will be dashed to the ground. They
must have received a pretty severe
jolt when this matter of husband
and wife was alluded to, though a
few of the more optimistic ones may
have hud visions of a divorce loom
ing somewhere, or even a bit of slap
and tickle. Sorry:nothing doing. So
if this is the mutton of my restaurant

And his companion an vice knew
he had lied, though, to his everlast

of these scoundrels allowed their
wives to leave them for a perilous
sea voyage with a falsehood ringing
in their ears. Which shows you the
type of men you’re dealing with.
However—that’s that: I’ll get on
with it. Still not given the pointer?
Oh! read the darned book and find
out for yourself.
I will take the larger one first.
His height was a shade over six
feet in his socks: his breadth and
depths were in proportion. Which,
in boxing parlance, entitles him to
be placed among the big men. And
big he was in every sense of the

The “Maid of Orleans” drew slow

ever tho rail was the usual row of
cross-Channel passengers calling out
final goodbyes to their friends on

In fact, the scene o)r the’ depart
ure of the Boulogne boat, and men
tioned oply because you must start
a story somewhere,
harbour is as good a locality as any.
Standing side by side on the quay
were two men, who had been waving
their hands in that shamefaced man-
aier which immediately, descends on
the male sex when it indulges-in that
fatuous pursuit. The targets of
their innocent pastime were two vo-
anen, “’whose handkerchiefs had flut
tered in response from
deck. And since these
ing Jadies do not come
ter.again it might betas well to dis
pose of them forthwith. They were,
an short, the wives of the two men,
departing on their lawful occasions
to Le Touquet, there to play a little
golf and lose some money in the
Casino. "Which is vq.illy', all that
needs to be said about them, ex
cept possibly their last remark chant
ed in unison as the ship began to
move:
“Novi mind you’re both good while
we’re away.” •,
“Of course,” answered the two
men, also in unison.
And here and now let us be quite
•clear about this matter, ‘Before or
dering a dinner the average man
consults the menu. If his mouth
is set for underdone beef with horse
radish sauce it is as gall and worm
wood to him to be given mutton
and red-currant j'elly.t' Similiarly,
, before reading , a book the average
reader likes to have a pointer as to
what it is about. Does it concern
the Shiek of Fiction carrying off a
beautiful white woman on his thor
oughbred Arab; or doos it concern
the S.liiek of Reality riding a don-

or does it concern the meditations of

Prayer-Book? And honesty compels
*me to state that it concerns none of (intimate friends has written
these things, which is just as well
for all .concerned.'
But it occurred to me that, the
parting admonition of those two
carnring ladies might possibly be
construed to mean that they feared
their husbands would not be good
during their absence. Far from it:

Mrs. Murray Tebbutt*, Chatsworth,

subject to backaches and headaches,
and could find no remedy that really
seemed to relieve me until a neighbor
told me about Doan’s Kidney Pills.
“I hesitated, for a While, about tak
ing them, but finally I got a box and
found to my great satisfaction that
both the backaches and headaches were
slowly but surely leaving me, so I got
two more boxes and before I had
finished the second one I was feeling

from the very middle- of tho Marsh

about a second; then a pause, and a
moment afterwards it was blue. Ttyey

red, blue, red, blue—-then they ceas

“For a while I -sat there staring

could mean. By putting a couple of

the rough alignment so that I could
