"Quick work, Baxenter—now, what' s the trouble? No, I haven't any euggage--only this," and he held up his suitcase. Robert linked his arm affectionately in Berwiek's and led, him to e gab., and wit:ulnae half hour they were setting down to—and doing full justice to— the excellent supper which the host of the "Three Pigeons" had prepared for tem. As they ate, the solicitor recomited the whole history of the Dartin affair. His companion listened in .silence. Robert., as a man of law, was precise and he marshalled his facts plainly, and questions an the part of his hear- er were not neceesary. He showed him also this few seraps of burnt pa - pert; evhich his had rescued from the fireplace in the study at Adderbury Towers. The narrative was interrupted by the waiter clearing the table, and when the coffee and cigars were brought in, and the men were alone again, the solicitor went on: "I was coming on to London to con- sult you. I inekoned on your being a bit anxious after my letter." "I was. I called at the office— Cantle was expecting you and sent Et Wire to the Towel's.

The meseage was vague enough, but it was sufficient to determine the movemente of Baxenter and, his com- panion.

A Greek Warship in the Sea of Marmora stoppod a Turkish Vessel aiming from New York and searched it for munitions. Instead of the means of making war the searchers found nothing but food for the horde of re- fugees in the Levant. The episode suggests how much bet- ter off this world would be if the common carriers could, be ,employed in the transportation of bread inetead of bullets. As long as one part ef the world hae an abundance and another part suffers from an insufficiency there will be shiftings of the surplus in the direction of the deficit, and there will be work for boats and trains and planes and dirigibles to de. Camel earavans across the desert and laden files of porters in the jungle will hare their occupation for many years after long air voyages with passengers and freight are the diurnal commonplace. There is such an overwhelming task for every transportation system in feeding the hungry among mankiaid that the provision of mannon-fodder cannot too soon be relegated to the realm of "old, unhappy, far-off things." It is deplorable to think of armored ships filled with armed men and their accountrernent, sailing to distant plates to kill other men, burn their houses and ravage their lands, when th.e white harvest fields of peace cry out for the ingathering. 15 10 be- coming more difficulty to persuade m.en as public education grows in all the lands, that there is glory to be gained and honor to be won in epray- ing the soil with the bullets from ma- chine guns where it should be sown with wheat. A Most Extraordinary AnimaL Eeephants have a reputation for very bad eyesight, but, according to Mr. Carl Akeloy our information on the point is neither complete nor accurate. .0ne clay on the Yasin Gistu Plateau ie Africa, he writes, an elephamt herd charged us at a distance of two hum dred .and fifty yards. When we had first 00.111e up With them we could move round within fifty yards of the herd; but titter they scented us they were able to see us at a distance of two hundred and fifty yards. The elephant's sight however, is nothing compared with his ability to smell. His trunk is probably the best smelling apparatus in the world; and he depends first of all on Ns sense of smell. When he is at all suspicious he moves Ills trunk round in every di - motion, so that the slightest taint in the air will reach him, In many other ways the elepeant's trunk is the most extraordinary part or that most extraordinary animal, It is entirely flexible et, every point; it can turn in any direction ana has tre- mentious strength, There le no bone in it, but it is constructed of inter- woven muscle and sinew so tough that yeti can hardly cut it with a knife. Front it an elephant can shoot a stream of water that will put out a fled; and with it he can lift a tree trunk weighing a ton,' or pull a deli - cute blade of graze. De drinks with It, feeds himself with it, smells with It, works with it end fights with it. • —4-- — Weer& of Wisdom.

But in the light of the universal talk of conservation of forest wealth, the heavy ton put upon other Canadian forest areas by reason of the wasteful methods of other countries in the past in regard to their own forests, with the possibility. of their depletion or in- deed exhaustion ff the most rigorous methods of preservation are not ex- tended, it will not be long before greater attention is paid to the more remote wooded areas of the prairie provinces and these areas be called upon to help out in the situation. A future awaits the prairie provinces at the hands of the lumberman and pulp - man. Five Hundred Million Acres, It has been estimated that there aro about 500,000,000 acres of forest lands in Canada, about half of which is cov- ered with merchantable timber, and the value of the forest products in 1918 was $279,543,011. The prairie provieces contain about eight million acres of commercial timber land, 5,- 400,000 acres of which are in Alberta, 1,920,000 acres in Manitoba, and 750,- 000 acres in Saskatchewan. In addi- tion to this, there are large resources of pulpwood upon which no really ac- curate estimate has been made, Manitoba is about seventy per cent. wooded, and in this province the prin- cipal heavily timbered sections have been set aside as govermnent forest reserves located west of the Red River in the southern part of tbe province. On the upper plateau of this section are spruce, lack pine, and tamarae; in the lower plateau are found poplar and white birch; in the coulees elm, oak, baosevood and white nem. The princi- pal trees in order of present import- ance are white epruce, black spruce, jack pine, tamarac, balsam Me aspen, cedar, burr oak, paper or white biach, white elm, greena,sh, white oak, bal- sam, balm of Gilead, black ash, bass- wood, Menitoba maple, cotton -wood, red ash, and mountain maple. Whilst little extensive commercial use has been made of these woods from the lack of exploitation duo to conditions already noted, they possess a potential worth commercially ot some magnitude, and have already Mee extensively made use of locally. The province, it has been estimated, contains about 1,020,000 feet of saw timber or 4,000,000 Peet B. 111. Alberta is eetimated to contain about twenty one.billion board feet of saw timber, the principal species be- ing segues, lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, poplar, balsam fir, white birch and tametrac. Fires hn.ve wroeght destruc- tive havoc in the thrests sit the pro- vince, much of which has been devas- tated and on the •6rnt-over areas the reproduction is mainly lodgeuolo pine, with area sof poplar and birch, Lum- bering operations are principally con- fined to the ltocky Mountains Reserve, which contains all the lumber at pre- sent merchantable in Alberta. There are nearly eight hundred square miles atpresent under license on permits lesued nrior to the establishment of the reserve. ; Saskatchewan Well Timbered. In Saskatchewan the area aetnallY timbered with merchantabletrees is about 760,000 acres, the country to the nortlaeast being heavily timbered with 51301100, Wreathe, and jack pine.

It is also a good one to use for evening bread in the home as the average bread -maker learos to advance more rapidly in the art if she has a standard loaf in mind and ft measuring unit by which she ewe judge her remake. Good bread is the staff of life and t'enele to produce health, morality and happiness.

She realle,ee that it is only by ;careful Work, thought and attention to details that she win become successful, If good ingredients are used and care is exercised in the manipulation, a loaf should score 100 pea cent. ea The following points should be we - fully considered in judging bread: General appearance 5 Proper cooking 10 Odor Flavor and taste Grain and texture Lightness Crumb Color of erurnb 10 30 20 10 10 5 100 General Appearance—The lout should be weB rounded over the top, not flattened, not extending over the edges of the pan nor cracked at the sides, and be evenly baked. The size of the loaf should be such that the crust need not be baked too hard in order to bake the crumb thoroughly. Proper Cooking—This is indicated by color and thickaess of crust and condition of the eentee of the loaf. The cruet should be a chestnut -brown on all sides of the loaf and about one- eighth of an inch in thicknees. The centre of the loaf should be well done, not soggy. The best results in baking bread can ibe abtaaned by using the smaller pans, which can be moved around in the oven. 1I/kost ovens have different temperatures in the centre than at the sides and if small pane. are used, a more even crust and bet- ter baked crumb can he obtained,. Odor—The odor should be sweet and nutty, with no suggestion of a sour or rancid smell. Flavor—The flavor should suggest the taste of good wheat. There should be no approach to sourness.
