Count Felix von Luckner, formerly commander of the daring German se raider &Padler, who for seven month roamed the Atlantic. and Pacifi Oceans sinking, according to his ow claim, twenty-five Entente merchant men, has been recaptured and rein terned at Wellington, after an auda dims escape from an internment cam at Auckland, New Zealand, In thei flight the Count and eleven other Ger man prisoners commandeered launch, captured the selling scow Mo and forced the scow's captain, William Bourke, and his crew of five men to help sail her to the Kermadec group of islands 600 miles north of New Zeal- and. There they helped themeelves to stores placed there for the use of ship- wrecked crews, put to sea again, init were overhauled by an armed New Zealand steamship sent in pureuit of them and were obliged to surrender. Von Luckner and some of the mem- bers of the crew of the Seeadler had been interned in the Motuihi Island in- ternment camp in Auckland harbor. Two of the German sailors got pos- session of the launch Pearl early in December and took on board Von Luckner and the other Germans. They had been making plans for the escape for three weelcs and had provided themselves with a rough chart and a crude but workable sextant. They has also improvised bombs and Von Luck nee had $1100 in English money and a hand -painted German flag. Held Up the "Moa." Hewing escaped from Aucklapd har- bor the Germans ran the launch to Mercury Bay, where thoy held up the Mon, The launch was flying the New Zealand flag and when a man in uni- form waved his hand Captain Bourke had the scow stopped without the slightest suspicion that his vessel was about to be captured by the German fugitives. The Germans evicted the New Zea- landers from their quartere and com- pelled them to aid in navigating the Mote to the Kermadec Islands and in the subsequent cruise until they were recaptured. Captain Bourke describes Count von Luckner as "a good sport." When the Mott was seized by the Germane, Cap- tain Bourke remarked that it was "darned herd luck," and four days la- ter, when the Count was again made a prisoner, he turned to Bourke and smilingly observed, "Hard hick, eh?" :PRYANTN DUNN & CO.

A contributor to the Canadian tinge ezine tells the story of a mounted - police scout who was sent with a die. patch to one of the smaller ovapoote at the foot of the Canadian Reales. It was towards sewing, when the midday elm thaws the surface of the snow and the night frosts harden the melted crusts to a glare of ice as dazzlingly bright as the blinding flash of sun- light from polished steel. The thaw had crusted the trail, and the scout had to keep a sharp eye on the way to prevent himself from losing the path altogether. Suddenly the midday sun developed extraordinary hues. Ma- genta, purple and black patches began to dance on the snow, alternated with wheels and rockets of fire. Then the world became black altogether, al- though the man knew, of course, that it was broad day. He had become snow-blind. The only thing to do was to give the horse the bit. The horse stood stock still, and by that the scout knew that he had lost the trail altogether, for the bronchia would have followed any visible path, He wheeled, the horse about, but it still refused to mgee; and the man inferred that the crusCof ice had been so hard in passing over it they had left no visible trail. That night the trooper slept under saddle blankets with tho faithful horse stand- ing sentry. For fivo days the policeman wander- ed blindly over the prairie, losing all count of time, eating snow to quench his thirst and sleeping in the holes that the horse had pawed through the Ice crust to the grass underneath, Thal man was now too weak to mount and to keep the saddle. As a last hope the thought Mau& him that if he unsad- dled his horse and turned it loose it might find its way back to the fort and so notify his friends that he was lost, fib removed the saddle, but the faithful creature refused to leave the man lying on the snow, and stood over him in spite of all his efforts to drive it away, The pathetic scone enacted by these two, the half -load man and the affectionate horse, was witnessed on the sixth day by a mail carrier who found the pair, The trooper was se- verely frozen, but both he and his horse lived to follow many another brit% -- Leeteovor vegetables are best pscd for vegetable soup, Add a pinch of baking soda to rhu- barb and mulberries rend you may dive:ale with half the Usual amount of Ogee, ti eee, ae • e t• 38„._ : otra ty1 THE DEBUT OF THE TANKS DESCRIBED BY NOTED WRITER,' IAN HAY.

Overhead roared British shells of every kind and degree of unpleasant- ness, for the ground in front was be- ing "prepared" for the coming The undulating landscape, running up to a low ridge four miles away, was spouting smoke in all directions - sometimes black, sometimes green, and sometimes where bursting shell and brick dust intermingled, blood -red. Be- yond the ridge all -conquering British aeroplanes occupied the firmament, observing for "mother" and "granny," and signalling encouragement or re- proof to these ponderous but sprightly relatives as their shells hit or missed the target, That evening a select party of sight- seers were driven to a secluded spot behind the battle line, Here they were met by Mager Osborne, obviously in- flated with some important matter, "I've got leave from my C.0, to thew you the sights, sir," he an- nounced to Colonel Kemp. "If you will all stand here and watch that wood on the opposite side of that clear - Inge you may see something. We don't show ourselves much, except in late evening, so this is our parade hour." The little group took up its ap- pointed stand and waited in the gath- ering duels. In the east the sky Was already twinkling with intermittent Verey lights, All around the British guns were thundering forth their hymns of hate -full-throated now, for the hour of the next great assault was approaching. Wagstafre's thoughts went back to a certain soft September night last year, when he and Blaikie had stood On the eastern outskirts of Bethune listening to a similar overture -the prelude to the battle of Loos. But this overture was ten times more aw- ful, and, from a material British point of view, ten times more inspir- ing. It would have thrilled old Blaik- ie's fighting spirit, thought Wag- staffe. But Loos had taken his friend from him, and he, Wagstaffe, only was left. What did fate hold in store for him to -morrow? he wondered. And Bobby? They had both escaped mar- vellously so far. Well, better men had gone before them. Perhaps— Fingers of steel bit into his biceps muscle, and the excited whinney of Angus MiLaehlan besought him to ook. The Show Begins, Down in the forest something stir- red, But it was not the note of a iird, as the song would have us be - 'eve. From the depths of the wood pposite came a crackling, crunching ounrl, as of some prehistoric beast ming its ,way through tropical un- dergrowth. And then suddenly, out from the thinning edge there loomed monster --a monstrosity. It did not lide, it did not walk. It wallowed. It urched, with naw and then a laborious heave of its shoulders. It fumbled its way over a low bank matted with crub. It crossed a ditch by the sim- le expedient of rolling the ditch out at, and waddled forward. In its path stood a young tree, The monster waived at the tree, and laid its chin lovingly against the stem. The tree leaned back, crackled, and as- sumed a horizontal position. In the fiddle of the clearing, twenty wards arther on, gaped an enormous shell crater, a present from the kaiser. Into his the creature plunged blindly, to merge, panting and puffing, on the arther side. Then it stopped. A ma- ic opening appeared in Its stomach, front which emerged, grinning, a ritish subaltern and his grimy asso- iatee, Thanks to the Taulss.

"There's a Reason" And that was our friends' first en- counter with a "Tank," The secret -- unlike most secrets in this publicity - ridden war -had been faithfully kept; so far the Hushl Hush! Brigade had been little more than a legend even to men high up. Certainly the om- niscient Hun received the surprise of his life when, in the early mist of a September morning some weeks later, a line of ' these selfsame tanks burst for the first time upon his incredulous vision, waddling grotesquely up the hill to the ridge which had defied the 13ritieh Infantry so long and so blood- ily -there to squat complacently down on the top of the enemy's' machine guns, or spout destruction from her own up and down the beautiful trenches Flitch had never been in- tended for capture.
