caught hp, now, the two white "men
pressed as closely upon their heels
as they could. Before the Pursuers
had eovexed half the distance the pm -
sued had vanished into the tanbee,
but Al held on steadily, straight into
the Indians' lines.
Through the first rank of the pines
master and man passed unmolested,
running swiftly but silently, until
Role saw indistinctly a mob of men on
his right, uncertain, it seemed, whe-
ther 15 Tun to him or away from hiai,
until Al called to them in the streuge
clucking gutterals of their own lan-
guage. ;
The meaning of what Al sail Rolt
could nob catch but heesaw the mob
disperse,' relining apparentlyin the
same general direction as himself,
and he wondered even then at the
marvellously true accent and ready
wit which had for the moment de-
ceived the Indians.
For twenty yards' the bwo tore
through the impending brush or blun-
dered in the dark amongst logs and
windfalls, then they emerged upon the
main trail which led to Khelowna's
camp. If they had had time to think,
the smooth firmness of it would have
suggested to them the numbers of an
enemy who could wear such a trail in
so sbort b time.
As they ran pest what looked in he
dark like a beus.b•lean to, a man leapt
oub upon the path, and Al, who was
now leading, repeated his cry. But
the man was too near to be deceived
and though Al was past him, the In-
dian tried boldly to block Rolt's way.
To Bah he was the full backf his
boyhood's ;days. Without decreasing
his pace he pretended to swerve, and
then, as the man closed on him, turn-
ed and ran right at him, titled the
Indian's thin up with the butt of his
open hand so that his head was shov-
ed almost off his shoulders, and $o
passed amongst the great dim pines
which stood for goal posts, through a
line of ,smouldering fires, seeing only
the tall thin figure of the tireless run-
ner in front.
As they rap a horse whinnied, and
Al, checking; for ; a minute, branched
off the main trail.
"Holy smoke!" he panted as, Rolt
overhauled him. "That's their horse
camp. Let's chance it, Boss. It's
worth the risk," and he stole swiftly
alpng through the bushes until they
i opened out into a, narrow swamp, not
an acre in extent all told.
In it twenty or thirty homes had
been pickebted, and as luck would have
it not a man was in sight. '

PIGEONS EMPLOYED AS SPIES.
Cionti.
Many Are Used by the French and
German Armies.
All the nations at present fighting
use carrier pigeons, not only for car-
rying messages'but also for taking
photographs. In the equipment of
all the German and French army tarps
are to be found a number of wickee
panniers containing pigeons, special
men being told off to look after the
birds.
The messages which these birds car-
ry me written on fine 'tissue paper,
which is generally rolled round the
leg and fastened there by means of a
piece of silk or small rubber band.
To thew how useful the French and
German authorities regard these pige-
ons, it has only to be stated that in
rearm° no fewer than 15,000 are re-
served for Goverement use, and 8000,
according to official statistics, in Ger-
many.
British authorities, too, realize their
usefulness --and danger--aurl have
made it illegal for any German or
other alien to prossess carrier pigeons
during the war, for -undoubtedly many
messages from spies, especially during
the early days of the war, were sent
to Germany by this means. These
messages of from 200 to 300 words
can easily be carried from the East
coast to parts of Germany in a day,
During the siege of Paris in 1870,
when 3683 birds were sent out of the
doomed city, one bird succeeded in
carrying to the _outside world on one
trip no fewer than 40,000 messages.
This extraordinary feat was accom-
plished by Means of microphotogra-
phy, the messages being first printed
in ordinary type and theti photo-
graphed. The photographs wen re-
duced many hundred times on to films
of 'Collodion, eath of which, about two
inches square, contained 50,000 words,
Sixteen of these films rolled up in a
quill 'weighed only one -twenty-fifth
part of an ounce.

QUEEN VICTORIA OF SPAIN.
The Spaniards Have Overcome Their
Dislike for Her.
Victoria Ena was born an English
Princess, was brought up in the strict-
est simplicity, and when she became
the Queen of Alfonso XIII. she ,car-
ried that wholesome freshness and
freedom of thought and action to
which she had been accustomed all
her life straight into the heart of ul-
tra conservative, haughty Spain,_
00 course, her behavior to the
Spaniards was almost, unseemly, and
they didn't mind saying so, behind
closed doors. They were positively
shocked, and they could not under-
stand how their proud King could
bring home such a bride as that.
At last, one or two of the King's
intimates told him frankly of the
surprise of his people at Queen Ena's
eccentricities, to use a mild term.
His frierids' complaints fell on deaf
ears.
"Wait! and see what they will say
in a year or two.
Meanwhile Victoria Ena was pro-
fiting by the lessons given her in in-
ternational diplomacy by that wise
and tactful uncle of hers, the late
King Edward VII., of England. She
was not his niece for nothing, and
the, end certainly justified the means
for Victoria came out with flying col-
ors. Spain to -day speaks with par-
donable pride of her as the most pop-
ular queen it ever had.
Victoria has the gifb of wearing her
clothes well. Madrid was mightily
proud of this, and rd,ther ungracious-
ly, some thought, gave her the sobri-
quet of "The Peacock," on account of
her exquisite taste.
Spain was considerably upset when
the queen insisted upon having Eng-
lish nurses and pleasicians. Bub have
them she did. The ancient Spanish
royal nursery, with its dark, sombre
grandeur and out-of-date equipment
had to go. Victoria had the whole
suite done over in white,. -white furni-
ture, white walls, and bright hang-
ings.
The Queen of Spain is not a bril-
liant woman, nor does she pretend to
be. She is beautiful and kind and
gracious. Above all, she is a splen-
did mother. Every minute she can
spare hom presiding over stupid State
functions is given to these blessed
babies; she has six now.
There is one reform that Queen
Ena has brought about in Spain, and
that is the brutal sport of bull -fight-
ing.
At first she attended them, but later
she could not summon the strength
to do so, and when she refused to
lend her presence it was noticed that
the King's box at the ring was also
empty. That settled the matter, at
least for Madrir. It was not long be-
. niany other cities followed suit,
never to resin it during the reign of
this queen, no matter h.)* strong the
desire may be.

ENGLAND"AWAKENING.
Class Distinction Breaking Down,
Writes Briton. •
"We shall sec a great evolution
after the war," writes an English-
man to "The Minneapolis Journal."
"The need of things we have left in
the past to others will become a
part of the curriculum of the future.
Boys will have more attention given
to the elaboration of things than are
useful rather than merely orna-
mental. England has wakened up to
the need of doing things whieh were
at one time thought beneath the etu-
dent, forgetting that work is honor-
able and a privilege not to be de-
spised by any created being.
"So the /ladies of our land are be-
coming the workers on our farms,
and are doing good and great work
by these means in winning girls to
the joy of service, thus filling many
formerly empty livem with the plea-
sure that, comes from being useful.
It is wonderful what women are ac-
complishing in all lines.
"What do we think of the war?
Why, there is only one thotight, that
we shall win through, and come all
the cleaner for its purification of
thought; and action, for the new life
it has created and the better sense of
the proportionate value of things.
There is an eagerness in all to qualify
for being useful in the best sense of
the word.
"Now all this is going to tell in
the futuee life of our nation, and
with it comes the breaking up large-
ly pf class distinctions. The work-
man has looked at the higher classes
and the clerles as ueeless. But when
they have come together in the
trenches, and have found those they
despised doing so bravely and ably
a mutual and lasting appreciation is
seen sprieging up among them."

DOHS thil3 war. mean that huraaniby

The greatest of all archwologists,
Flinders Petrie, says that is what'
occurred in Egypt, in Greece, in Baby-
lon and in Rome. After bhat they:

Now one of the world's most emina
ent modern scientists, Lieut. -Col. She
Ronald Ross, whose name is potent,
and his knowledge magic, hints that
he believes this war to be the sign of
Germany's decadence and. a warning,'
not only to the other fighting nationsil
but to the United States, that national
habits must be changed, national as-
pirations raised if they are not to
suffer likewise.
Sir Ronald's wonderfully brilliant
career ranks him among the fore-
most of
efthe world's distinguished
scientists.
His best known service to human-
ity was the discovery in 1397 of the
part played by the mosquito in the
transmission of malaria fever. This
discovery has been as important to
tropical countries as was the discov-
ery that yellow fever can be transmit-
ted only through the bite of the same
insect,

duct a mighty war without the ac-
companiment of epidemics, even
though it be carried on among condi- eellee
tions which twenty years ago would
have caused frightful waves of sick-
ness, which undoubtedly would have
been responsible for more deaths
than weapons so far have caused.
German Decadence.
"But that is merely the record of
the medical work in the war. It
cares for the fighting men efficiently
and keeps them in condition to do
good fighting. The surgical side, upon
which, naturally, I am less informed,
for I am a medical man rather than
O surgeon, has done literal marvels.
"Really neither the medical nor the
surgical side of this war, however, is
the aspect worthy of the most care-
ful consideration. The psychological
side is of really great imporbaece, and
here we find a startling situation.
"Thehuman race is millions of
years old and has reached its present
stage of progress through the gradual
education of all ite faculties., all Ulla
education having been supposed to
bend away from barbarism and crudi-
ties. War has been to part of this
educational process in the past mak-
ing men brave, perhaps making them
self-sacrificing.
"It may be that such waders
tended to develop the individual
along lines necessary to his best
advancement, bue there can be found
no excuse for thinking that 813011 El
