speed, his headgroom clattering be-

Florence naturally wondered which

when else would be perfectly belplear
to aid them, or continue the ride and
save at least one horse from the ter-
ror of seeing !Ionise. She chose the
latter. But she did not ride with the
earlier zest. She felt depressed, She
loved hones, and the thought of them
dying in those wooden stables was
herrlfylog,
The fire, however, proved to be in•

diary. Some one bad set fire to it
with a purpose in view. Norton re-
cognized this fact almost as soon as
rhe fireman. He had come this morn-
tng with the idea cif eurprle.ing Flor-
ence. He was going out on horseback
to join her.
Hie opine grew suddenly cold. A
trap! She had been left alone on
road! He ran over to the garage, se-
cured a car; and went humming out
toward the river road. A trap, and
only by the sheerest luck had be
tutned up in time.
Meantime Florence was walking her
mount slowly. For once the scenery
passed unobserved. She was deeply
engrossed with her thoughts, some of
which were happy and some of which
were sad. If only her father could be
with her she would be the happieet
girl alive,
She was brought out of lier reverie
by the. eight of a mau etaggering

he plunged upon his face in the road.
Like the tended -hearted girl she was,
she stopped, dismounted, and ran to
the fallen man to give hint aid. She
suddenly found her wrists clasped in
two hand like iron. The man rose
to his feet, smiling evilly. She strug-

The Czar, left alone in the carriage,

Czar, but he had seen his photograph,
and the likeness to this foreign•

"Supposing it is Nicholas," he mut-
tered, and he resolved to make sure
at once. Stepping boldly up to the
carriage he shouted in at the window,
"How's the Empress?"

really thought he was only having a
good • joke—when the unknown for-
eigner replied with a smile:
"Tiiank you, the Empress is well,
and we are both delighted with our
visit to your beautiful city."
"Then," says the Czar in telling
the story, "my true -born Parisian

another direction. Eventually they
arrived at the hut, and Florence was
forced to enter, The man locked the

was rather dumfounded when he saw
that it was coming from the city, not

It was Norton. The riderless horse

to the hut.
The man before the hut realized by
this time that he had made a mis-
take. He attempted to re-enter the

door with all her strength. The man
snarled and turned upon Norton, only
to receive a smashing blow on the

Norton flung open the door. "Into

oar coming down the road. Hurry!"
It was not a long chase. The car

A. morn hopeful word comes fecal
a recent builder who for a year before
his new house was buiit kept a ecrap
book of suggestions. Two scrap
bpolis, in fact, ono ot notes and one
of pictures. The book of notes was
divided into PO many pages for each
room. For instance, there was the
hiktding "Kitchen," and underneath
Was noted any practical or- attractive
ideas pertaining to kitchens that th
owner had observed.
Then came "Pantry," with this
suggestion:
"Back opening to refrigerator so it
may be filled froth the porch."
"Window slides into the 1t:tchen."
Room was given space for notes on
decoration and ideas.
Iu the other scrap book were kept
illustrations and photographs of win-
dbws, doorways, staircases—anything,
that might prove helpful for use In
the designing and building of the new
house.
'rhe result was that'when the
house finally came to be built the
owner knew exactly when ft cupboard

Admiral Prince Louis of Battens
berg, First Sea Lord of the British
Admiralty, personal aide-de-camp of
King George and a relation bywmar-
riage of his Majesty and of the Ger-
man Emperor, has resigned.
The resignation is attributed to the
very frank objections failed by news-
papers and influential ii;dividuals to
anyone of German •origin remaining
connected with the navy or the army.
Outside 'of the fact that he was born
in Austria, the chief argument his
opponents made against Prince Louis
was that he is the" brother-in-law. of
Prince Henry of Prussia, who holds
a somewhat similar command in the
German navy.
The appointment of Baron Fisher,
Admiral of the fleet, to succeed Prince
Louis of Battenberg, as First Sea
Lord wits announced officially on
Friday. Baton Fisher held the post
before, previous to 1910.

ft, Tommy Loves a Joke
Tominy clearly loves his joke, even
when embarking on an enterprise from
which he may never return. A Paris
correspondent of an English paper
records how he saw some British
volunteers off at Gare St. Lazare,
"There were all sorts among them,"
he says, "clerks and factory hands,
undergraduates, adventurers, men who
have left comfortable homes and will
miss their daily baths, meat who will
find barrack life luxurious. Tho vol.
unteers were full of fun. Many can
riages had 'pleasure train to Berlin;'
'Kaiser William's birthday party,' and
suchlike pleasantries chalked or
khem."
# CANADA AND THE EMPIRE
Moro than one-half of the white
population of the empire's dominions
is in Canada.
Canada was the first colony to
federate its scattered provinces into
a dominion, in 1867, an example since
followed in part by Australia, Ne'
Zealand and South Wales.
Canada was the first dominion of
the empire to have a penny post.
Canada made possible the all.
British Pacific cable by contributing
5-17 of its cost.
Canada has one-third of the entire
area of the British empire.
Cosi' of Germany -s War
•,A Berlin paper published a very
interesting estimate of the Weekly
cost to Germany of keeping her
armies in the field.
The food consumed by the armies
in a week was given as 27,300 tons
of bread, 7,280 tons of meat, 64,600
tons of potatoes, 912 tons of coffee,
and 620 tons of sugar. The total cost
of these is worked out at120,000,000,
and the cost of transport of food .at
$6,000,000. Provision for wounded and
prirsoners of war would run, into at
least another $3,000,000.. Cost of war
material and the upkeep' and replace-
ment of horses is put down at $40,-
000,000.
40;000,0.00.
Thus a week's fighting, including
smaller items not already mentioned,
must cost Germany $70,000,000.

REMEMBER THE DATE
William C. Hopkinson, Chief As-'
sistant to the Immigration Inspector
was shot and instantly killed in the
Court House at Vancouver 'by a
Hindu.. The alleged assassin, a man
named Mewa Singh, was immediately
arrested.
People standing in the vicinity say
Hopkinson wast accosted by Mewa
Singh and Sutah Singlt. Two revol-
vers were used, but beyond the fact
that Mewa Singh held one of the
guns it is not known who among five
or six Hindus did the shooting.
Hopkinson's assassination was not
altogether a surprise, for it has been
known that his life bad been threaten-
ed time and again. He was very ac-
tive in liandling the Hindu question
at the time of the Komegatu Maru's
visit to Vancouver.
