She brushed her tears aside and arose to answer an unexpected souk toa from the knocker. She looked anrprise at the great man who stood on her tiny porch.

He drew a memorandum from his pocket, and atter consulting it, asked: 'Your father, Linden Lane? DW he live 1n Stillwater, Minn. 11 years ago?" "Yes," replied Linda, with a flush of excitement lending rotes to her cheeks. "1 was born there." "Then, to coal. directly to the point," Goodwin told her, "we Riad two deposit■ of $211 each In two et otip banks there. One Linden J. Lane opened the account 22 years ago.- Llnda laughed softly.

Goodwin found himself feeling hap- pier than be remembered having telt before. Was tt the knowledge that he had been the Good Fairy in this small family, or was it something more subtle, more wonderful that had crept Into his mind? He laughed • trifle nervously. "I am going to ask for immediate payment for the joy 1 have found for you," he said and when Linda's questioning eyes met his he said im- petuously: "Let me come to -morrow' -- and help make Christmas glad for the children. May i come?" Linda glanced at biro with a new shyness. "Yes," she said. ettr,pt-, "It you like I will go with you to help get that Chrltma. tree. Next morning Linda and the child- ren were up *arty.

A British territorial officer writing from the front says: Yesterday morning Post es tell into our hands, after • te bom- bardment during the nigh never, heard anything like it fo natty,' although 1t did not lent ng as some of the others I have d. The Australians who were here the other day 1n the village took the Piece without great loss. . I bad r longwhconvert.rtake with two emcees who were takrr�j$���aoners and were in the prisons ge be- fore going back behind the. Both et them looked rather dtdated, but the men. about ninety them, were fairly fine specimeng; e offi- cers told me that they wire mostly machine gunners and pleted men. Although much on their dignity, one of the officers admitted that we had done well, but he excused himself by wing that 1110_,Ketrallatte were SO fresh that It was impossible to ex- pect his war -weary men to bold out against them. He also admitted that the Australians were "very brave and tearless men." "They seem to have no tear of death," he said. What seemed to stick mosLin this officer's gizzard was the fact that he was shut up in the same cage as his men, although there was a piece of wire between them; also that his position was so terribly infra dig and uncomfortable. He said, "i am not used to sleeping In the open. OM-- cora M—cars always sleep In houses with us!" So I reminded biro it was war time. -- He replied, "Yes, yesterday I was a gentleman; to -day I am a monkey behind Iron bars." True, they were not very comfortable, as they had to 11e on some chalky ground alongside of a sunken road. 1 could not help smiling myself at their lack of humor and absurd opin- ion they had of themselves. Just picture these two German officer* anything but smart—in fact, very bedraggled after two days without a shave or wash—one In dark green uniform, the other in a Prussian blue uniform, with bis long blue- coat looking very dirty and worn and he himself most bedraggled. Then, to crown a11, he was wearing a rather light pair of kid gloves, which seem- ed to give him an almost comedian's touch, so absurd did gloves appear in his present enrroundings. I felt al- most sorry Lok him, be looked so ridiculous and yet so much on his dignity. He seemed to cling to his gloves as an emblem of respectabil- ity, because *ben I saw him brought in yesterday evening he was s1111 wearing them. i gathered from these officers they were rather ."rprfsed that we have done as much as we had, and that our troops were as good as they are and our artillery so accurate. I asked what they thought of the present sit- uation. They said. "Yes, you have won five kilometers, but it is 100 from here to Brussels; but you will get no further." They were very much concerned as to whether there was any danger of being torpedoed when going over to England, as they heard that very few boats ever got across. I told them they might get acMss safely, but in all probability they would be sent to the Isle of Man, in which ease there was a very good chance of going under. They replied, "Isn't there • signal given on the steamer that it is carrying German prisoners?" which I thought wan rather priceless. The Hospital for Sick Chl ldrea COLLEGE ST., TORONTO. Dear Mr. pditgr:— Tbanks icor the privilege of appeal - lag through your columns on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, tie great Provinchµ Charity. Our need of Money is measured by the children's need of help. and y,{ can Judge how great that need mail be when last year 3,045 sick little ones were treated as in -patients, and as will be seen from the 1916 figures, 611 patients were admitted from. 143 places outpide Toronto. Last year 271 in -patients were treat. ed for deformities, such as club feet, bow-legs, knock-knees, Pott's disease of the splaqy@,, lateral curvature of the spine, dielocations, infantile paralysis, tubercular disease of knee, hip, ankle. Is the Hospital for Sick Children to take dollars out of your pocket, or L death to take babies out of .than Ladles! That is the question. One gift more in the Hospital's trete. Bury means one coffin less In the LITTLE WHITE HEARSE. The Hospital must be digging ap help for little children from the s*U of human kindness, or sextons will be digging graves for little children In the soil of many a cemetery. The Hospital for Sick Chfldrei can only volunteer 1ts mercy in so far as you friends of little children volunteer your money for service In the Hos- OW'. never-ending battle for the livet of the little ones. Let your money fight in the trenches of some mother's trouble and rescue some little child from the dugout et pain, disease and death. Can the Hospital leave children to die because the fathers of those chil- dren have lett home to fight for lib- erty on the British battle line, and can the Hospital help the children of Cam- eda's Bottlers with Its care unless you help the Hospital with your cash? Poles in South America. — 1f it is true that the Russian Gov- ernment is planning to foster colon- isation of Poles in South America, as 1s reported from Petrograd, the movement will mark a departure from the customary policy of that Government. Despite the vast popu- lation of the Russian Empire, esti- mated recently at 185,000,000, with an annual increase of more than 4,- 000,000, Russia has not appeared among the nations encouraging emi- gration of its own inhabitants. The great area of Russia 1s in proportion to Its population, and there is Thom for many millions more before the food problem will become at all acute; in addition to which the Czar is credited with definite colonization ambitions In the direction of certain regions in Northern China contigu- ous to his own Asiatic Russia. One explanation suggested is that the Poles have proved a thorn in the side of the Russian Conservatives ever, sine formation of the Duma, and that it is desired to reduce their relative political power by finding homes for them elsewhere. The Polish people have long been strong individualists; they charge their lack of development in their own country to repressive measures rather than to lack of Polish enterprise; they as- sert that in a freer atmosphere they would Wee a place among Russians corresponding, for example, to that of the Bohemians in Austria. The plan of colonization to which reference Is made is said to contem- plate the mending of 400,000 or 500,- 000 Poles to Venezuela. This would be a boon to Venezuela, and perhaps it might work out to the advantage of the new arrivals.
