Ile stood in a commanding position in the center of the first-class deck of the 'little -Barudu moored alongside the white jetty—a tall figure with an aristocratic stoop and a monocle that delighted all native beholders. When Captain John ' Hewitt=Commissioner. of Police, -observed him through his binoculars from the verandah of his bungalow—the newcomer appeared to be giving, orders to everybody within hearing. "Jack," called Monica . from her chair, "who is it?" Rer brother glanced back. "You're merely guessing," he re- torted. "You couldnt ,possibly see from -where -you are."' "I can... Would ye -alike me to prove it? `A, long, 'lean, -stoopy -man with a funny puggaree and red tabs." , "And -there you are!" interpolated Chinese Pennington through the Office window. "Monica has• the eye of an 'awk!" Pennington climbed through the window and took the glasses from the other's hand• Monica gave a little impatient toss of her shock of fair curls, folded down the page of the book she 'had been reading and joined them by the rail.. "That, said Pennington, pointing down the hill, 'is Major James Lacy Armitage--" "D.S.O:," murmured Monica. "I fancy yuu're wrong there. He has three ribbons—almost as broad as they aro long: One is for•going to Messina just after the earthquake, the second 1 don't know, and the third he obtained by giving up his seat in a bus to a Russian Grand Duchess!"

"You don't happen to know, I suppose, what sort of billet they've fixed him up with this time " Chinese Pennington was engaged it rolling a cigaret. "They couldn't find him a vacancy -so they made a job for him. He's a sort of traveling indpector." "Ohl" gasped Monica. "You don't think they've sent him here to take Jack's place?" "Not on your life! Armitage don't like work. He's on the cushiest thing he's ever"struck-and nothing short of an earthquake'li induce him to chuck it up. He'll inspect the bar- racks, parade'all the native troops, drill them himself, nose into the cook- houses, waste everybody's • time—and write a stinking report home to Eng- land condemning everybody," Monica Viney's forehead wrinkled.` "Won't that be rather serious?" Pennington smiled. "It'd be disastrous—if anybody at home took ' Armitage seriously. As far as I can make out, to be con- demned by our friend in the monocle is the finest recommendation for pro- motion and increase of pay a 'polies officer can have." •` The Commissioner wound the lea- ther sling carefully round the binocu- lars and consigned them to the cock- roach -eaten ease that 'hang from the wall.

In one week there were three cases in which parents asked to have the Children taken over because they were not happy together and decided to separate. With a very complacent and condescending manner, a father and mother walked into my office with a little boy and girl, "Me and the wife," said the man, "have decided we can't get along together and are going to separate and we thought we would just hand the two children over to you," It was rather a surprise to them to find that I was not at all eager to accept the responsibility, and when they were further assured thet they would be brought before the mag- istrate if they attempted any such thing as to give the children away to strangers they were still further astonished. In the other cases where parents were so ready and willing to part with their children they' were urged to settle their differences and to re- member that giving away their child - rete was parting with ; the most precious possession any parents could have. The result is that the children are still in their own homes and ap- parently the parents have become more or less reconciled. In the heat of passion we are all apt to do and say things for which we will repent at leisure, and my advice to all Child - Saving organizations is to be very slow about assuming responsibility for children when parents are at logger- heads. Too many cases of this kind have occurred in the past with dte- astrous results to both the children and their parents." Poverty bandit robbed him of an ear and an eye on their last encounter.! Monica retreated to her chair and, folding her hands over one knee, gaz- ed through palm -clad slopes to the riband-like road below. "I wish With :11 my heart you could catch him, Peter.

"Did I ever tell you that. Varney buried me with all due pomp and ceremony—and placed a suitable inscription over,my head?" "Peter," Howitt said earnestly, "do your damndest, but for heaven's sake take precautions. Chai-Huung de- prived of one hand will be like a wounded wasp." "I know," returned the man with the Chinese eyes. Ile smiled across at Monica. "But he's still the same delightful, yellow -skinned scoundrel whose habits. Pv.: made a life -study. I came 'here to get hila and, although I've failed to dodo a score of times, I've kept him on' -the run. There'd have been the deuce to pay in Borneo if he'd been left quietly to his . own resources." "And yet," said Monica, still uncon- vinced, "you haven't a notion where he is now," "No, but my men are beating the island pretty thoroughly and; from whet I gathered this morning, they're getting warm." "Thismorningi But you haven't been out! i. Pennington's face wrinkled. "I'nf going to let you into a state secret. ,Did you happen to hear a Dusan' gong beating between nine and ten?"

A cheque for thirteen dollars was re- ceived recently from a woman who wanted to ]tele in this work. It was very gratefully accepted. Remember, we have literature at Headquarters ready to be sent to all corners of th province. It 1s speeially designed to interest people in the Humane work. Two things are needed to circulate it: Money for printing, and the names and addresses of peo- ple whose minds are fertile soil for the seeds to be sown.
