T was only half listening, for a brown hackle and a Montreal were competing for the Middle place on my cast, and it was vital point. But Rafael liked to tel a story, and had come by now to a confidence in my liking to hear him He flashed a glance to gather up my attention, and cleared his throat and began: "Dat was one time—I go 0 de woods -hunt wid my fader -in-law —mon beau-pere. It was mont' o March—and col'—but ver' col' and wet. So 'it happen we separate, my fader -in-law and ane, to hunt on' both side of large enough river. And I til moose. What, m'sieur? What son of gun? Yes. It was mile—what one call flint -lock. Large round bore. cast dat beeg ball myself, what I kill dat moose. Also it was col'. And so it happen my' matches got wet, but yes, ev-very one. So I couldn' bull fire. I was tired, yea, end much col' I t'ink in my head to hurry and skin dat moose and wrap myself in dat skin and go sleep on de snow because if not I would die, I was so col' and so tired. I do dat. I skin beem—je le plumait—de beeg moose—beeg skin. Skin all warm off moose; I wrap all around me and dig hole and lie down on deep snow and draw skin over head and over feet. and fol' arms, so—" Rafael illustrated—"and I hod' it aroma'wid my hands. And I get ware eight way, warm as bread toast.So I been slippy, and heavy wit tired, and I got comfortable in dat moose -skin and I ;o aslip quick,rl I wake up early cn morning, and dot skin get froze ti,ht. like i,ox made on wood, and I had' in dat will my arms fed' so, and my head down so—" illustrations again—"and I can't move, not one inch, No. What, m'sierr? les. I was enough warm, hie. But I Me lad: dat and can't move, and I t'ink somet'ing. I t'ink I got die Ink tat, in moose -skin, If no sun come, I did got die. But dat day sun came and he warm, and moose -skin melt ill' lilt, stew, and I push lel' bit wick shoulder, and after while I got tee broke, on moose -skin, and I crawl out.Yes. I don' dee yet." Rafael's chuckle was an amen to his saga, and at once, with one of his lightning chana'es, he was austere. "M'cieur go need beeg trout to- night; not go need moose -skin till nen' wile. Ze rod is ready take feesh. I see feesh jump by ole log. Not much room to cast, but m',iieur can do it. Shall I carry rod down to river for m'sieur?" In not so many words as �I have written, but in clear pictures which comprehended the words, Memory, that temperamental goddess of moods, had, at the prick of the word "Huron," shaken out this soft -colored tapestry of the forest' and held it before my eyes, And as she withdrew this n others took its place and at length +was musing profoundly, as I put mo ed area soup, as the famous "chee" soup hag a thin balding powder biscuit sed of Russia, fish soups of Japan, the dough, covering it with chopped cook- of oop of something on my plate and tuck a it away into my anatomy.

Then we can have a most considered Rafael's proud carria his good head and well -cut face, h t' Indian austerity and his French mir weaving in and out of each other; I considered the fineness and the £ea lessness of his spirit, which to hardship had not blunted; I reflect • on the tales he had told me of a you forced to fight the world. "On a de la misere," Rafael had said: "0 has seen trouble"—shaking his hest with lines of old suffering emergi from the reserve of his face bike wet ing in sympathetic ink under h And I marvelled that through su fire, out of such neglect, out of of opportunity end bitter pressure, 'steel of a character should have be tempered to gentleness and brav and honor. For it was a very splendid old b who was cooking for me and greasi my boots and going off with me aft moose; putting his keen ancestral i stincts of three thousand years at m I service for three dollars a day. Wi my chances would not Rafael ha been a bigger man than I? At leas never could I have achieved that gra air, that austere repose of mann which he had got with no trouble all from a line of unwashed but cour- ageous old bucks, thinking highly themselves for untold generation and killing everything which thou otherwise. I laughed all but aloud this spot in my meditations, as special vision of Rafael rose suddenl when he had stated, on a day, h views of the great war. He talked plain Ianguage about the German He specified why he considered th nation a disgrace to humanity—mo Il method of cooking all together in one r pot, where juice, flavor and nourish - ng' meat are all conserved? ed� The soup pot helps,,keep the gar- th' bags can empty.

In the making of the pastry such fats as goose grease, rendered suet, chicken fat, etc.,may be used, thus laving on butter and more expensive oils. For children under ten the cream soups are perhaps a miser choice. These have milk as a basis and the strained pulp of any vegetable. Even with milk at twelve or fifteen, cents a quart it is a cheap food, because one quart of milk yields as much nourish- ment as six eggs, a quart of oysters or a pound of round steak. A good strainer, preferably of the stationary type, fastened to .the table with a clamp, is necessary. Any canned vege- tables, as peas, corn, tomato, ett'may be used, as well as current fresh vege- tables. Children enjoy peanut butter soup, cream of corn soup, cream of celery, cream of parsnip, etc. The housewife may be too busy to design herself a coat of arms, but in one of the panels' at least there should be a soup pot! And remember, not soup as a separate course, but made •so well and so nourishing if the combined elements of meat, vegetable and cereal that it shall be in itself a perfect, satisfactory and economical meal. they not kept a permanent soup pot going en can appreciate the saving.

Then the fire of his ancient fighting blood blazed through restraint of manner, He drew up his tall figure, slim -waist- ed, deep -shouldered, every inch slid- ing muscle. "I am too old to go on first call to army," said Rafael. "Zey will not take me. Yes, and on second call. Maybe zird time. But if time come when army take me—I go. If I may kill four Germans I will be con- tent," stated Rafael concisely. And his warrior forebears would have been proud of him as he 'stated it. My reflections were disturbed here by the American general at the next table. He was spoken to by his waiter and shot up and left the room, carry- ing, however, his napkin in his hand so that I knew he was due to come back. A, half sentence suggested a telephone. I watched the soldierly back with plenty of patriotic pride; this was the sort of warrior my coun- try turned out now by tens of thou- sands. With that he returned and as I looked up into his face, behold it Was Fitzhugh. My chair went bang ne•• as I sprang toward him. "Jim!" And the general's ca a dignity sud- denly was the radiant grin of the boy who hail played anti gone to school and stolen apples with me for long bright years --the boy lost sight of these last years of hie in the army. "Dave!" he cried out, "Old Davy Cram!" And his arm went around my shoulder regardless of the public. "My word, but I'm glad!" he sputter- ed And then: "Come and have dinner —finish having it. Come to our table," He clewed me about and presented me to the three others. , In a minute I was installed, to the pride of my friend the head waiter, at military headquarters, next to Fitz- hugh and the Frenchman. A compact resume of personal history between. Fitzhugh and myself over, I turned to the blue figure �re on my left hand, Col- onel Raffre of the French army. On his broad chest hung thrilling bits of color, not only the bronze war -cross, with its clad green watered ribbon striped with red, but the blood -red. ribbon of the "Great Cross" itself— the cross of the Legion. of Honor, I spoke to him in French, which hap- pens to be my second mother tongue, m pi co gi tl e a M m ting •slower," I said. "For hasten I eavesdropped a while ago when y were talking about your Huron s' diets, and I got most of what you se because you spoke English. I dou if T could if you'd been speakiFrench." The' 'colonel shrugged massive shou ders. "My English is defectivedistinct," he explained. "One is foed to speak slowly when one specl badly. Also the Colonel Chichely" ce, ou ol- bt ng Uut rce- es the Britisher—"it as he at whom talk carefully. The English ear, it not imaginative. One mut makthings clear. You know the Huron then?" I explained. "All" he breathed out. "The me in my command had Leen, some o them, what you call guies.

Ths fl. into one niche of the war bettethan any other material. You hear the story of my rescue?" I had not. At that point food had interfered, and I askd if it was too much that the colonel should repeat, "By no means," agreed the polite colonel, ready, moreover, I guessed, for any amount of talk in his native tongue. He lanched an epic episode. "I was hit leading, in a charge, two battalions. I need not have done that," another shrug—"but what will you? It was snowing; it was going to be bad work; one could perhaps put cour- age into the men by being at their head, It is often the duty of an offi- cer to do more than his duty—n'est- ce-pas? So that I was hit in the right knee and the left shoulder, par ex- ample, and fell about six yard's from the German trenches.

I assure m'sieur that the entr'actes are far too long in No Man's Land. I became more and more displeased with the management of that play as I lay, very badly aamusedwith my wounds, and afraidto blink 'an eye, being a corpse. The Huns demand a high state of !m- obility in corpses. But I fell hap- ly sidewise, and out of the extreme rner of the left eye I caught a impse of mir sandbags. One blessed rat twist, though it became enough n nnyant, and one would have given, year of good life to turn over. erely to turn over, Am I fatiguing 'sieur?" the colonel broke in.

The garden suburbs in the Old Country—such as Hampstead—are an. oomplislied facts, and the testimony to their sociological importance is written in a score of books and in thousands of articles. Canada cannot lag behind In this movement and con• Untie to justify its claim to be govern- ed by the people and for the people. A beginning has been made in the capital city and before, the present year has closed substantial progress will have been made With the develop• ments of two garden suburbs, east and west of the city. called Lindenlea and Parkdale. The Ottawa Housing Com- mission has bought two estates of about twenty acres each, which have been laid out on town planning lines by Mr. Thomas Adams, Housing and Town Planning Adviser to the Com- mission of Conservation. The estates have been bought at a reasonable figure, and lots will be sold to the future residents at from $340 to $600. The applications for lots at Linden - lea have exceeded the number avail- able, and there is practical atstuance that the sites of the Purkclale estate will all be allotted within a very short time. Tho estates contain many beau- tiful trees which have all been plot- ted. and most of them will be pre- served for the adornment of the new settlements. Encourage Community Spirit. On the Lindenlen property a wind. 1g boulevard has been planned to tersest the grounds, which will cotn- mend many beautiful views. Pro ision has been made for tpnnle ourts, bowling green, chilth•en's play - round and wading pool, sites for cam - unity hall and public garage, and. -- e residential streets have been plan- ed. to discourage through traffic, so s to ensure additional safety tot' Waren and preserve quiet and home- ke amenities for the householders.
