Report of the Conversation Between the Officers, It was a dramatic moment when news reached England that Colonel Marchand had forestalled the British occupation of Pashoda. Kitchener took a flotilla of ten steamers with 4,000 men up the Nile before Fashoda and invited Colonel Marchand on board. The latter thus reports the conversation : "I have come to re- sume possession of the Khedive' dominions," Kitchener began. "Well, General, I, Capt. Marchan (as he then was) am here by order of the French Government. I thank you for your offer of conveyance to Europe, but I must wait here for in- structions," was the reply, "It is a long time since you had any news from France ?" "Some months, General ; but my orders are to wait here." "Major, I will place my boats at your disposal to return to Europe by the Nile." "Genera] I thank you, but I cannot accept your. offer. I am waiting for orders froni my Government." A good many things have happened since you started on your journey." "General, whatever may have hap - paned, France, wbo is not in the habit of abandoning her officers, will send me orders," I must hoist the Egyptian flag here," Kitchener next said. "Why, I myself will help you to hoist it -over the village." "Over our 'fort ?" "No, that I shall resist," was the French officer's reply. "Do you know, Major, that this•af- fair may set France and Ding -land at war ?" Colonel Marchand bowed without replying. General Kitchener rose,' He was very pale. The Colonel also rose. Kitchener gazed at his 2,000 ; then at the fort, on the ramparts of which the bayonets gleamed. "We are the stronger," Kitchener remarked after his leisurely survey. "Only a fight can settle that," was Marchand's reply. "Right you are," was Kitchener's reply, "come along, let's have a whis- key and soda." The required instructions, as the story of the expedition has told, were forthcoming from Paris in due course, YOUR WALK TELLS. e.

The driver s=hould examine them carefully after every trip and promptly take care of an injury, no matter how slight, A trouble, small at first, may lead up quickly to a bad blowout, and then a new tire, In order to give you good mileage, t'res should be watched constantly and kept clean, Underinflation is the most prevalent and the most expensive piece of care- lessness of the modern motorist, Ride; on air, nob on the tire walls. An injury to either tread or tube should not be neglected. Coni1 tions are aggravated with great rapidity, and before you know it either a very expensive repair or a whole new tire is required. Go over your tires peri- odically, and take care at once of each injury. Inner liners should be used only in emergencies or to prolong the life of a worn-out tire. - Never apply them as a permanent repair, as they are utterly destructive to a new tire. Where chains are used adjust them carefully. If they are too loose they will cut and loosen the tread -if too tight they cut and bruise where they are lapptid over casing. Faulty wheel adignment does much injury to tires. It subjects them to a grinding they cannot withstand. A slightly bent axle will do the damage. It is important to cleanse tires daily if possible.

Among tire manufacturers it is a recognize -1 fact, that the lower the grade of rubber used in a tire the less time does It take to vulcanise or cure it to the point of greatest serviceabil- ity after leaving the building ma- chines. And in these "quick cure" tires the adhesion of each layer of fabric to the other and of the tread to the tire carcass is likely to be much less perfect than in "slow cure" tires. Consequently, under the intense heat of the sun and of road friction, separ- ation of these units is likely to occur, thereby weakening the entire struc- ture of the tire and causing heat blowouts. In the higher grades of rubber their natural toughness and elastticity seem to resist, or take longer to absorb, the vulcanizing or hardening properties of the high tem- perature steam used in tie's operation, therefore requiring a longer "cure" and resulting in a much tougher and more serviceable tire in all respects. Long Trips Becoming Popular. Owners of automobiles have ga'n- ed so much confidence in their ma- chines in the last few years that the merest novice is no longer afraid to start out on a long trip in his car.

Thus Knowlieg: "Paul seems at it were to plead with his Lord that men cannot but receive testimony from one who had previously been an en- emy of Jesus of Nazareth; the words boo are directed to his hearers, so that they may impress them with the strength of the testimony thus given by one who had imprisoned the Cluis- tians," Myers has caught the sob with which Paul recalls those perse- cuting days: - Saints, did I say? with your remem- bered faces, Dear man and women whom I • sought and slew! 0 when we mingle in the heavenly places How will I weep to Stephen and to you!

The clinex is not unto the Gentiles, as in the English, though this was what the mob fastened on. What the Lord's word left burning in Paul's soul was the commission and its Giver -that he, the persecutor, was charged with an apsotleship (so the Greek) by Jesus whom he persceuted.

THE BETRAYER OF MSS CAVELL STORY OF THE \'IAN WHO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Roger de la Merck Was Selected by a Belgian Secret Society. The International News Bureau publishes what purports to be a verb- al report of the story of Roger de la Merck, the man who killed the spy, Nels de Rode, who betrayed Miss Cavell to the Huns. The news of de Rode's death was published long ago, but the details of the affair have never been given to the public before. The story bears the charac- ter of veracity. De la Merck was a member of a Belgian secret society punish- ing for r the purpose ur ose of unish- ing spies and traitors, and, when it became known that de Rode was a traitor and guilty of Miss Cavell's death, he was selected to carry out the work of vengeance. Ile tells how he waited' at night near the residence of de Rode's parents and at length saw the traitor approaching: "In two minutes I was face to face with the unfortunate object of my night vigilance. "Standing within three or four feet of him I informed him of what I was about to do. I told hint if he kept silent I would give him as many minutes as he wished during which to make his peace with his Maker. I told him that so long as no one ap- proached us from either direction, so long would I permit him to offer his prayers. Screamed for Help. "But I had scarcely finished my proposal when he began to scream at the top of his voice for help. "Even than, holding my revolver at his breast, I informed him that ale entire army could not save his life, and I again urged him. "Now, from this distance, this act' of mine seems to me rather reck- less. I can ascribe this apparently foolhardy act of mine to my utter timidity, or perhaps nervousness. I was younger than my victim by five years, yet he looked just at that hor- rible moment like a mere child. I had never taken the life of a fellow man; at the outbreak of the war I was even under military age. Fur- ther I had never in all my life held a revolver in my hand. I did not even know its mechanism. "All that I knew, and all that was necessary for me to know, was to pull the trigger while I aimed its muzzle until its death -dealing con- tents had been emptied. "I pulled it. "He fell and died instantly. "I Killed Your Son." "I remetnber it as one remembers a horrible dream, I lifted the dead body of my victim clean from the ground, threw it over my shoulder, bore it some distance, and stood hint against the door of his father's house." - -The slayer was taken by the Bel- gian civil police, and handed over to the Germans, but no evidence being I found against him, he wee allowed to go free, the German officer making the significant comment: 'Time will obscure the deeds of both good and bad men, but the deed of a traitor is ,1 ltever forgotten.' Afterwards de la Marek went to the home of de Rode's father and told of his deed: "I announced my name, but they did not know my name. Then I told them, .'I killed your son' I was ex- cited, otherwise I would not have announced it so brutally. No Sorrow for Traitor. "I must have been fully insane, or why should I have visited my vic- tim's aged parents? I would not have done such a thing in my sober mind.• "However, I had not visited the house for the purpose of boasting of my act of murder. Forgetting the gravity of my act, I had visited Major de Rode's house to apologize to him in person for having suspected him of being a traitor like his son. He wasnot a traitor; and I told him so. "To my utter surprise it was the aged woman who spoke first. She told me that it was not the death of their son that caused their tears; it was the death of the soul of their only child that moved their hearts. h 'What shame for the dead. What shame for the living ones!' she wept, and the aged Major joined. "I left them abruptly and awkward- ly. I found myself speechless." As is well known, the father of de Rode refused to recognize or give burial to his dead son who had proven such a traitor to his country. Three or four others who were con- nected with the Cavell affair also suffered death at the hands of the Secret Society to which de la Merck belonged. SON TAKES FATHER'S PLACE. Gen.
