By MORDA PART I. He returned to London with the usual rush of stretchers about tour o'clock one rainy afternoon. The flower girls, these adipose, high col- ored women of mature years who swarm about Charing. Cross to worm sixpence with endearing entreaties from all manner of folks -had 'soft hearts for the wounded men, and in this particular instance one woman tossed her wares into the ambulance. But he was unconscious, not long for this world, the surgeons said, and so saw nothing of this charitable act. A sprat of a chap, he was, who knew London from Wapping to Poplar, aye, even to Barking. He never went West, just naturally, so it seemed, preferring the rising to the setting sun. Sam Parke, popularly known as the "Winkle," because even his head seemed almost concealed in his clothes, always too large for him. His well -thatched pate with his dark eyes usually emerged fearsomely from a large and usually unbrushed great coat. The "Winkle" changed a little after he became a fighting man in His Majesty's forces, but his tunic, and especially his overcoat, were always large for him? The "Winkle" was in the bantams, having reinforced them after that division had fought their way to recognition by thrashing the Bavarians at a time when England laughed at the idea of sending such undergrown men to the front. Then they put on the swank of a Guards Regiment, always . fighting with a ferociousness that was heralded far ,into the German lines. The govern- ment, however, did not realize any necessity of making uniforms to fit them and their great coats often trailed in the mud, which added to the ridiculousness of their appear- ance. The "Winkle" Iost his nickname in the army and became known as "Glum." Notthat he was lacking in humor or that he sulked, but his comrades observed that he frequently assumed a distracted air and sought solitude. Whether they called him "Glum" or the "Winkle" it mattered little to him, as he did not tell a soul that he was in love. He liked to be alone so that he could picture Lizzie as he had seen her that last day in London and lie longed for the day— that day when he would be welcomed back to Wapping by the rapturous Lizzie. He didn't hanker much after fighting, but he felt that killing Ger- mans would bring the day sooner to him. He felth t at he bore an affec- tion for Lizzie almost beyond his physical capacity, The pretty nurse in the hospital was s tenches by his diminutive form, his tiny face, and she hoped that he would be spared. While she was watching him at night with the tend- erest care, as he was a gallant little fighter, she heard him murmur, co- herently enough for her to just catch the words: tI horst it, I horst it, and wot's she goin' ter aye?" Miss Daintry, the nurse, wondered what the little fellow had lost. Of course, ita was palpable that was in- fatuated with some girl. It never oc- curred to the nurse that this private could be worrying about his mother. And in the sunlit morning an officer wandered into to the hospital. He. gazed softlyati Miss Daintry and told her she was looking tired. "I should ld be so glad ' of we could uld save this man," said Miss Daintry, "Alan," she continued, "I should feel that I had accomplished something really grand if he became well enough to leave the hospital, The surgeons despair for his life. Captain Dudley took Miss Daintry's hand, saying that he hoped the little chap would live, She guarded the wounded bantam all that morning 'with faith and hope, and just before she was abandoning the vigil the "Winkle's" eyes openedd The tired brown eyes in the white. face looked at the wonderful nurse,I and then they closed. But again the bantam, muttered sentences which gradually grew distinct, until Miss Daintry understood this:— "I lost me watch—the watch she gave 'me. I ought ter 'ave 'ad it in a dugout. Don't tell 'Sr. For.'Gawd's sake, don't tell 'er. Don't let 'er even come arahnd. She won't understand v wot 'appened. , . I told her; Id bring hack the watch and I ain't got ' it. Don't let 'er come arahnd, Tell 'er I'rn not 'ere." .; UNT HALL. He seemed exhausted with the chatter and lapsed into - a delirious sleep. ` Miss Daintry was relieved for a few hours during which time she learned that "Glum" or the "Winkle" had slept -fairly peacefully The sur- geon said' there was . a bare chance, just a bare chance of his living. He told Miss Daintry 'that he had been told that this case was not thought to 'be serious when he left France or they would not have sent him to Lon- don. It was on the way from South- ampton that the bantam became un- conscious, ."Lorst me watch. Blimy, wet a bloody fool. Don't tell 'er. Don't even let 'er come ai'a'hnd. Keep her away. Lorst me blinkin' watch, w,ot I loved more than anything else in the world," ' Do you know," said Miss Daintry to Captain Dudley that afternoon, "I believe he's so much in love that he'd get well if that watch he's longing for could be found. Of course, that's impossible. "Picadilly Circus, near Regent St, Meuin road. That's"— Captain Dudley 'looked at the pa- tient and then at Miss Daintry. "We'll have to get him a watch," observed Captain Dudley, -who then heard the little man- again mutter, "Elephant & Castle's is where I left it." "He's delirious," said Miss Daintry, "and fancies he's been in London and has got it mixed up with France. She gazed at the patient, and finally the bantam breathed quietly as if in a tranquil sleep. Captain Dudley took Miss Daintry's hand and told her that he was bound on a government mis- sion and would be away for four or five days. It was easy to see that Captain Alan Dudley was also in love, and from the way he talked Miss Daintry was not. As he left the hos- pital ward he pleaded with her in whispered conversation to reconsider her decision. She shook her head, de- claring that she had no intention of marrying yet, and that they insist be good friends nevertheless. (To be concluded,) 0 EMPRESS. EUGENIE AT 93. Once Reigned Over the French—Is Still Loyal to the Land. The strange turns of fortune, which the last few years have brought to many crowned heads are no stranger than the vicissitudes which have been crowded into the life of the lonely ex - empress of the French, who is spend- ingthe eveningof her daye quietlyin Y her English home at Farns r g bo ovgh, and who recently entered her ninety- fourth year. Buried in the crypt of the Benedic- tine AbbeyChurch,the egift to b the church of this aged lady, who has been a lifelong adherent of the Roman Catholic faith, are the bodies of her husband, Louis Napoleon, an exile who returned to France to become an em- peror and who left it again to die in England, and of her beloved only son. the Prince Imperial, who died fighting or England against the Zulus. The last publicappearance ppea ante of the ex -empress was at this church, where she toolspart in the thanksgiving t cegiving ser- vice at the armistice for the allied vic- tory. Not very long before the ex -empress spoke for the first time of the sacri- fice she had made in refusing Bis - march's offer of thethrone one of France for her son in, exchange fol' ceding the twoprovinces. Alsace A s ce an d Lor- raine went from /Prance, it is true, but the Empress Eugenie proved her de- votion to the land whore she once reigned. She was not horn in the purple. She was the granddaughter of a descen- dant of no Scottish Kirkpatricics, who had set up a wine shop In Malaga. Her mother had ambitions, and married a Spanish nobleman, who was the father of the lovely girl with regullar fea- tures and wonderful golden hair, whose ambitions, for her part, were whetted by a gypsy's prophecy that her happiness "would bloom with the the violets From that time en the young Mlle. de 'Ivlontijo wore violets on all occasions, .-Violets, it will bo re -- membered, are the emblem of the Bonaparte family, 'and wheel the beautiful Spanish girl made the mar- nage which startled Europe she wore a train of priceless lace in a design of folets, presented by the town of Liege, 1,229 British prisoners in German hands ars still unaccounted for. Canning 'Time,' • St miner cameso quickly to us in Ontario this year that' canning' time was upon us almost before the fur- nace fires were out. But, of course, we must can. Our .wal„leseensstho5r- ed us the desirability of taking care ofour surplus fruit and vegetables, and if we lived in a section fortunate enough to have a home' agent., et 'a visit from a specialist we have had demonstrated to us the superiority "of' home -canned stuff to that put up by commercial cannertee, Of course, you canned your rhub- arb by the cold water method. That is, you peeled and cut the rhubarb, packed it into sterilized- jars, filled the jars to.overowing with cold water, using new rubbers, and- sealed tight- ly. Do not forget that gooseberries may be canned in the same way, saving both time and sugar. And next fall if you want to experiment with cranberries they, too, may be done by cold water method. When you open these fruits pour off the water and cools down to half the original quantity. Then add the fruit and cook until of the desired con- sistency, sweetening just -before re -i moving from the fire. A pinch of soda added while the fruit is cooking will neutralize some of the acid and lessen the amount of sugar needed. Now as to cold pack. Since the armistice has 'been signed and we feel we can speak our mind freely, I have heard a number of housekeepers say they were not thoroughly convinced as to the superiority of this method for everything. These were women who have been canning for years with good luck. The girls of the canning clubs and the younger women are, of course, strongly in favor of the new method. The others, •while admitting it is best for vegetables, yet main- tain that many fruits are just as well done the old open -kettle way. And many maintain that the old way is much, less work. Berries, however, keep their shape; better and lookbetter done the cold -pacts way. To makethe syrup for berries allow two quarts of water for every three pounds of sugar and boil Ave minutes. This makes a med- ium thin syrup. Wash and hull ber- ries, pack in jar, of course, jars and tops and rubbers ,must be bailed up in water, adjust rubbers and put on tops, turning down until the edge just touches the rubber. Then set in water which is boiling and, boil ten minutes. Remove jars, tighten tops, invert to see if they do not leak, and store in a dark place. A good way is to save all your paper bags and slip each can in a bag. This helps to keep the color. Raspberries are apt to settle a great deal. To get around this let them stand fifteen minutes after the syrup has been added, when you will find they have settled enough so that you may add more berries. The favorite method of canning strawberries in our household is the following: Use only fresh, firm, ripe and sound berries. Prepare berries. Add eight ounces of sugar and two tablespoons of water for every quart of berries. Boil slowly for fifteen minutes in an enameled or acid -proof kettle, covered with a well -fitted cov- er while boiling. Allow berries to cool and remain over night in cover- ed kettle. Pack cold 'berries in glass jars. Put rubber and cap in position, for ten minutes tight. Sterilize water outfit; i using bath h if a, water -seal outfit or a five -pound steam -pressure outfit, sterilize six or if usingan minutes;aluminum pressure -cooker outfit sterilize for four minutes. Remove jars. Tighten covers. Invert and cool to test the cup of lard, or one large half -cup of sweet ' cream. Moisten with sweet milk, add a pinch of salt.

There are several ways of fining thiel II�IlIere is one: Pick the *berries early in the morning, choos- ing weather which -promises to be hot and dry for two or three days. Wash', and hull, berries and weigh. Allow ec ut l ijuantities of sugar and 16erries:' Place the 'berries on a shal- low platter. Make a thick syrup of the.

Then store in fruit, jars ;and simmer 'for ten minutes in hot -Water " A second method calls for boiling the berries before placing in the ,sun. Equal quantities of fruit and sugar are used. Make a syrup by allowing two cups of waterfor every three pounds of sugar and boiling until it threads. Add the berries and cook fifteen minutes. Then spread on platters and put' in the sun until syrup jellies. This, may then be stor- ed as jelly, covering the top with paraffin. Raspberries, cherries and peaches may be preserved by the sun method. The cherries should be pittedbefore weighing, and the peaches pared and cut in eighths or quarters, according to size. Cherries are especially good, Use the juice of the cherries to moist- en the sugar for the. syrup. One woman always stores some strawberries uncooked and preserved simply with sugar. This takes a great deal of sugar, a pound and a quarter for every pound of fruit, but the re- sult is more than satisfying when winter draws around. Thenfrult should be mixed with. the dry sugar and every berry crushed. A wooden po- tato masher is a good "weapon" to use for crushing the fruit. Berries of all kinds, and currants may be• kept. in this way. • The jars should be filled to overflowing and nw rubbers used. Of course, jars, tops and rubbers must be sterilized. If you have quantities of straw- berries bottle some juice to combine later with apple juice for jelly. Strawberry juice itself is lacking in p jelly. pectin and willnot make 'ell . But mixed with two parts of apple juice it makes a pretty and delicious jelly. For raspberry jelly use equal parts of raspberry and apple juice. Contributed Recipes.

In the picture gallery you' may see photos of these sufferers, before and after—the former often terrible; the latter, at 'the worst, odd—no more,. Then there are the. rows of piaster casts allowing the nature of the in- juries even .more Vividly.' The task is to hide these injuries artifleally and the modus operandi is somewhat as follows: The patient on coming to the artist -surgeon, is al- ready healed of his wounds. First, a plaster cast is taken, upon which the artist works with plasticise, moulding the damaged features anew. From this cast a mask is made of copper- plate; this, is fitted and then silvered, After this comes the enamelling of the mask. and this is where the art comes in. Several coats are applied to the metal surface, and family it is carefully and skillfully colored to re- semble the complexion of the wearer, At..alithe distance the features ap- pear perfectly natural, and the decep- tion is complete at ten yards or so. - Most of these masks are held 'in position by means'of spectacles, which incidentally further aid in the decep- tion, and add to the comfort of the wearer. In this way new noses, eyes, fore- heads, cheeks and jaws are fashioned, and the patient is able to go once more among his fellows without the fear in his heart that he will be either an object of horror or of compassion. It is a great work. - o Callahan's Call.

Advantage Would Outweigh Cost. The project has been pronounced, possible by engineers. The cost•would be- great, but nothing in comparison to the results to be gained. The sav- ing in fuel alone to the benefited areas, it is thought, would repay the entire expenditure, The Labrador current'sends'a large volume of water through -the.

In the Province of Prince Edward Island, having an area of -2,184 square cites, and a population :of about 100,- 000, the only disadvantage this fertile island labors under isits long winter, owing to the piling up of ice in the Gulf of St. Laurence wider the low temperatures caused by the Labrador current, .
