The Germans evicted the New Zea- s lenders from their quarters and com- pelled them to aid in navigating the Moa to the Kermadec Islands and in 0 the subsequent cruise until they were recaptured. Captain Bourke describes Collet von Lackner as "a good sport." When the lbioe was seized by the Germans, Cap- tain Bourke remarked that it was "darned hard luck," and four days la- ter, when the Count was again made a presoner, he turned to Bourke and smilingly observed, "Hard luck, eh?" A FAITHFUL GUARDIAN. Moumited-Poiice Scout's Horse Refused to Desert His Master. A contributor to the Canadian Mag- azine tells the story of a mounted - police scout who was sent with a dis- patch to one of the smaller outposts at the foot of the Canadian Rockies. It was towards spring, when the midday sun thaws the surface of the snow and la the night frosts harden the melted crusts to a glare of ice as dazzlingly bright as the blindingeflash of sun- light front polished steel. The thaw had crusted the trait, and the scout had to keep a sharp eye on the way to prevent himself from losing the path altogether. Suddenly the midday sun developed extraordinary hues. Ma- genta, purple and black patches began to dance on the snow, alternated with wheels and rockets of fire. Then the world became black altogether, al- though the man knew, of course, that it was broad day. He had become snow-blind. The only thing to do was to give the horse the bit. The horse stood stock still, and by that the scout knew that he had lost the trail altogether, for the broncho would have followed any visible path. He wheeled the horse about, but it still refused to move; and the man inferred thet the crust of ice hadhbeen so hard in passing over it they had left no visible trail. That night the trooper slept under saddle blankets with the faithful horse stand - fag sentry. For five days the policeman wander- ed blindly over the prairie, losing all count of time, eating snow to quench his thirst and 'sleeping in the holes that the horse had pawed through the lee crust to the grace underneath, The man was now too weak to mount and to keep the saddle. As a Iasi hope the thought struck him that if he Unmet - died his horse and turned 11 loose it ' rnight find its way back to the fort and so notify his friends that he was lost. He removed the saddle, but the faithful creature refused to leave the man lying on the snow, and stood over him in spite of all his efforts t o drive it away. The pathetic scene enacted by these two, tho half-dead reran and the affectionate horse, was witneeeeal on the sixth day by a nail carrier who found tho pair. The trooper was ss- verely frozen, hitt both he and his horse lived to follow 'nary another trail. Left -over vegotabio; are baa ::md emfor vegetable soup.

An Observation Post—or 0 Pip, in the mysterious patois of the Buzzers —10 not exactly the spot that one would select either for spaciousness or accessibility. It may be situated up a chimney, or up a tree, or down a tunnel bored through a hill. But it certainly enables you to see some- thing of your enemy; and that, in mod- ern warfare, is a very rare and valu- able privilege, ' Camouflage Again! Of late the scene -painter's art— technically known as camouflage—has raised the concealment of batteries and their observation posts to the realm of the uncanny. According to Major Rragstaffe, you can now dis- guise anybody -as anything. For in- stance, you can make up a battery of six-inch guns to look like a flock of sheep, and herd them into action browsing. Or yon can despatch a scouting party across No Man's Land dressed. up as pillar -boxes, so that the deluded Hun, instead of opening fire with a machine gun, will merely post letters in them—vahlable letters, con- taining military secrets.

Overhead roared British ehells of t every kind and degree of unpleasant- ness for the ground nd in front was be- ing"prepared" for the coming smash. The undulating landscape, running up to a low ridge four miles awaye was spouting smoke in all directions--, sometimes black, sometimes green; and sometimes where bursting ehell and brick dust intermingled, blood -red. Be- yond the ridge all-eonquering British' aeroplanes occupied the firmament, observing for "mother" and "granny," and signalling encouragement or re- proof to these ponderous but sprightly relatives as their shells hit or missed the target; That evening a select party of sight, seers were driven to lit secluded spot behind the battle line. Here they were met by Master Osborne, obviously in- flated with some important matter. "I've got leave from my C.O. to show you the sights, sir," he an- nounced to Colonel Kemp, "If you will all stand here and watch that wood on the opposite side of this clear- ing, you may see something. We don't show ourselves much, except in late evening, so this is our parade hour," The little group took up its ap- pointed stand and waited in the gath- ering dusk, In the east the sky was already twinkling with intermittent Verey lights. All around the British guns were thundering forth their hymns of hate—full-throated now, for the hour of the next great assault was approaching. Wagstaffe's thfeughts went back to a certain soft September night last year, when he and Blaikie had stood on the eastern outskirts of Bethune listening to a similar overture—the prelude to the battle of Loos. But this overture was ten tunes more aw- ful, and, from a material British point of view, ten times more inspir- ing, It would have thrilled old Blaik- ie's fighting spirit, thought Wag- staffe. But Loos had takeeehis friend from hint, and he, Wagstaffe, only was left. What did fate hold in store for him to -morrow? he wondered. And Bobby? They had both escaped mar- vellously so far. Well, better men had gone before them. Perhaps -- Fingers of steel bit into his biceps muscle, and the excited whinney of Angus M'Lachlan besought him to look. The Show Begins. Down in the forest something stir- red. But it was not the note of a bird, as the song would have us be- lieve. From the depths of the wood opposite cavae a crackling, crunching sound, as of some prehistoric beast forcing its way through tropical un- dergrowth.' And then suddenly, out from the thinning edge there loomed at monster—a monstrosity. It did not glide, it did not walk. It wallowed. It lurched, with now and then a laborious heave of its shoulders. It fumbled its way over a low hank matted with scrub. It crossed a ditch by the sim- ple expedient of rolling the ditch out flat, and waddled forward. In its path stood a young tree, The monster arrived at the 'tree, and laid its chin lovingly against the stem. The tree leaned back, crackled, and as- sumed a horizontal position. In the middle of the clearing, twenty wards farther on, gaped ae enormous shell crater, a present from the kaiser. Into this the creature plunged blindly, to emerge, panting and puffing, on the farther side. Then it stopped. A ma- gic opening appeared in its stomach, from which emerged, grinning, a British subaltern and his grimy asso- ciates. 'Thanks to the Tanks. And thhlt was our friends' first en- counter with a "Tank." The secret— unlike most secrets in this publicity - ridden war—had been faithfully kept; so far the Hush! Hush! Brigade had been little more than a legend even to men high up. Certainly the om- niscient Hun received the surprise of his life when, in the early mist of a September morning some weeks later, a line of these selfsame tanks burst for the first time upon his incredulous vision, waddling grotesquely up the hill to the ridge which had defied the British Infantry so long and so blood- Hy—thee to squat complacently down on the top of the enemy's machine guns, or spout destruction from her own up and flown the beautiful trenches which had never been in- tended for capture, In fact, Brother 'Beebe was quite plaintive about the matter. He de- scribed the employment of such en- gines as wicked and brutal, and op- posed to the recognized usages of war- fare. When one of these low -comedy vchicle.i (rimed the Creme -de - Menthe) ambled clown the main street of the hitherto impregnable village of Flees with hysterical British 'Pom- mies slapping her on the back, he ap- pealed to the civilized world to sten in and forbid the combination of vul- garism and barbarity, "Let es at t leas fight like gentle- men," i" t, Hien," :mid the liter, with simple dig- nity.
