"You speak, then, for this gentle- man?" he asked, with a dry sort of smile. "With all my heart," I answered. "But why does he ask protection ei this late day?"

"Then this army and its General, and all Eng- land, please God, will thank you. Your craft shall have commission as a rover—but if she gets into trouble?" "She will do as her owner has clone these six years, your Excellency: ebe will fight her way out alone." He gazed long at the town and the Levis shore. "From above. then.. there is a way?" "For proof. if I come hack alive—" "For proof that you have been—" he answered meaningly, with an amused flash of his eyes, though at the very momenta spasm ct pain crossed his face, for he was suffering from an incurable disease, and went about his great task in daily misery, yet cheerful and inspiring.

At the rinse et an hour I returned tc the General's tent. It was lunch- eon -time: and they were t -trot to sit as. I was announced.

I dared sce.etely nr, sleet him at this table_" "Which is sacred 10 good man- ners," said I, mear,iugly and coolly, for my anger and surprise were too deep for excitement 1 saw the General lock at both of us keenly, then his marvellous eyes dashed intelligence, and a grim smile Played at his lips a •moment. After a little general conversation Doltaire addressed me: "We are not yet so overwhel ned with war but your being here again will give a fillip to our gossip. It must seem sad to yon --you were so long with us—you have broken bread with so many of us—to see us pelted so. Sometimes a dinner -table is dis- ordered by a riotous shell." He was bent on torturing me. It was not hard t0 da that, for how knew 1 what had happened! How w'as it he cane back so soon front the Bos- sily? It was incredible. Perhaps he had never gone, in spite of all. After luncheon, the matter of exchange of prisoners was gone into, and one by elle the :lames of the French prison- ers in our brands—ladies and gentle. men apprehended at the chateau -- were ticked oft', and I knew their all save two. The General deferred to • e several times 01 to. the persons. . and positions of the captives, and asked my suggestions. Immediately 1 proposed Mr. \\'ainfieet, the chaplain, t an t:t hangs for a prisoner. though his n the was not on the list. but Dol- taiga- shook his head in a blank sort c t way. "There was not such prisoner in unru." he said. • 1 insisted, but he stared at Int, in- . serutably, and said that Ile had no record of the man. Then 1 spoke most forcibly to the General. and said that Mr, Wainfieet should be produced, or an account of him be given by the French Governor, Doltaire then said: "I am only responsible for these names recorded, Out- General trusts to your honour, and you to ours, Mon- sieur le Generale." There was nothing more to say, and presently the exchanges were ar- ranged, and, after compliments, Dol- taire took his leave. I left the Gov- ernor overnor also. and followed Doltaire. He turned to meet me. "Captain Moray and I." he remark- ed to the officers near, "are old— enemies; and there is a sad sweet- ness in meetings like these. May I—" The officers drew away at a little distance before the suggestion was really made. and we were left alone. 1 was in a white heat, but yet in fair control. "You are surprised to see me here," he said. "Did you 'think the Bastile was for me? Tut! 1 had not got cut of the country when a packet came, bearing fresh commands. La Pompadour forgave me, and in the King's name bade me return to New France. and in her own she bade me get your papers. or hang you straight. And—you will think it singular --if need be. I was to relieve the Govern- or, and Bigot also, and work to save New France with the excellent Mar- quis de Montcalm." He laughed. "You van see how absurd that is. 1 have held my peace, and I keep eny commission in my pocket," I Nicked at nim amazed that he should tell xoe this. He read my leek, and ',aid: Capt.

Grieve, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, '1940 Why Tobacco Parcels Fail to Reach Troops Due to complaints being made of the non -arrival of cigarettes and to- bacco packages sent to soldiers of the C,A.S.b'4' overseas front Canada, the postmaster general instituted an immediate investigation of a series of individual cases. The report received this week reveals that: in no single instance was the alleged lose or de- lay occasioned thrcntgh any fault of the post office department. 1t was found that in some e RfS . however. the tobacco, etc., which the soldiers slated had not reached them had not been seat by their friends in Canada, In other instances it was learned that the parcels had actually been received by the addressee at a later date. Many of the complaints of the non -arrival resulted from the loss, by enemy action, of a steamer. carrying 4000 parcels from one to- bacco firm alone, earlier this season. It was proven in all cases non -receipt of parcels overseas was not due to misappropriation either at the tobae• ate companies' quarters or at the base army post office, A prominent official of the Canadian postal corps in Eng• land during an inspection call at cer- tain Canadian units listed the con - plaints, These were checked up by the post office department in Canada. The results follow: A Winnipeg officer stated that his wife had been sending liim 100 cigar- ettes at regular intervals, His wife told the postal officials that she had just sent one parcel, which had been received by her husband. A private soiclies advised that he had received a letter from his people in Winnipeg thatthey had sent money to 0 tobacco company for sig• arettes for him. The investigator was advised, however, that they had rail- ed to order the cigarette's. An army captain complained of non• receipt of elga'ettes from relatives in Seaforth, Ontario. Investigation show- ed that the relatives had not wailed him any parcels, but had sent matey to a wholesale tobaceo lima in May. According to records the shipment would have been sent via a steunter which was lost through enemy action. In order that all delay and disap- pointment may be avoided, and the soldiers receive their parcels and iei• tens promptly it is requested that all persons waiting to the troops should carry out the simple mailing rules of completely and legibly addressing letters and parcels, fully prepaying postage, affixing customs deviaees- tions, as well as carefully packing parcels to withstand the handling they will necessarily be subjected to during transmission overseas. Among the contents of a pante) a slip of paper should be inserted giving the proper military address of the sold- ier, as well as the return address of the sender.
