Tom still walked on aimlessly; the thought of going to meet a girl Who might never come did not have much attraction for Lim; still he didn't know where to go. "1 don't think I'll come any further," he said presently. "Nay, what makes ye alai r your mind, Tom?" "I think Pll go back to the Black Cow," replied Tom, "'appen there's some chaps there who'll stand a treat. After all, Penrose wur right when he called me an ass," "Penrose is what you call a gentle Mai' ranker, I'm thinking." "Summat o' that sort," -replied Tom. "What did he call you an a$$ for?" "Well, ybu see I've been a bit of a fool; I've spent all my brass, and I've took up `vi' a lot o' lads as is no 'use to me. Penrose is gone to the Y . M . C.A.

"And you have chucked releegion?". asked McPhail "Ay, there's nowt in it,an keens a Chep from having a good time—but I doan't know," and Tom 'sighed. "1 am a wee bit of a phi.sopher mysel'," replied McPhail,. "and I have reasoned it all out very carefully. My mither, now, is what you might call a godly woman; nay father waS an elder in the old U. P. Kirk, and 1 was brought up in a godly fashion.' But, as I said, I reasoned it out. I read Colonel Ingersoll's Lectures, -and he proved to me that Moses made a lot of mistakes. So, weel, presently 1 got fond of whisky, and I came to the -con- clusion that releegion was not logical." "I reckon as you're none too logical," replied Tom. "Ay, man, but T was well groonded in the fundamentals! I could say the Shorter Catechism when D°was a wee kiddie of seven years old! How am I no logical?" "After all," replied Tom "it's noan logical to give up religion because: of !Colonel Ingersoll's Lectures.The re- ligion my Alice had went deeper nor that. Ay, but there, I am a: fool to be talking about it. Good night, Mc- Phail, I will go back now." And Tom went back towards the town alone.

TottOMxo ONT, somewhat angered too. He didn't like the way Penrose had' spoken to him. In the old days he had been proud of his respectability, and before he had made Polly Powell's acquain- tance, and, when Alice Lister had shown a preference for him, Tait was very ambitious. Now he.knew he had not only sunk in the social scale, but he had less self-respect than formerly. "After all," he argued to himself pre- sently, "I didn't join the Army to go to Sunday School, I joined to lick the blooming Germans." Still he could not help recalling the feelings which possessed him on the night he came out of the great hall at the Mechanics' Institute. He had felt stirred then; felt indeed as though he had heard the call of some higher pow- er. had looked Hitherto heupon wearing the King's uniform as some- thing ignoble; then it had appeared to him almost as a religious act. The speaker had called upon him to fight against brutality, butchery, devilry, and his heart had burned at the thought of it. Something which he felt was holy made him leap to his feet. and give his name, yet now he found his chief delights 'din coarse associa- tions debasing habits. He was still fond of Polly Powell. The girl's coarse beauty made a strong appeal to him, but he remembered Alice Lister; remembered the things which she had said to him, and he could not help, sighing. "Eh, Tom, is that you?" Tom turned and saw a tall raw-bon- ed fellow in kilts. "Ay, Alec; wher't' bran?" "There's a wee lassie I promised to meet to -nicht," replied the other. Alec McPhail belonged to the Black Watch, a battalion of which was sta- tioned in the town, and Tom and Alec had become friends. "What's thy lass's name?" asked Tom. "I dinna ken reightly except that they ca' her Alice. dome wi' me, Toni; • mebbe she has a friend." "Nay," replied Tom, "1 doan't feel like sky -larking with the lasses to- night." "Weer, I'.m not ower particular my- sel', but I have not much siller, Three bawbees will have to last me till Sat- tclay, o l rwise I'd be asking ye to collie and have`"a drop -of whiskey wi' me." "I am stony-broke too," said Tom, "I expect I have been a fool." "Nay, man, nae man's a fool who spends his siller on good whisky." 1.3y this time they were walking los gether towards the outskirts of the teem.

If Stomach Hurts Breakfast First A story, reminiscent of Drake fin- ishing his game of bowls before tak- ing sail to defeat the Armada, was told at Portsmouth by Admiral Sir Stanley Colville, Commander -in -Chief at that port, says the London Chroni- cle, A submarine, he said, was pro- ceeding up the Dardanelles when the captain noticed through the periscope Drink Hot Water that a floating mine had become at- tached ,to the rudder. He consulted "If dyspeptics, sufferers from gas wind or flatulence, stomach acidity, of sourness, gastric catarrh, heartburn,. etc., would take a teaspoonful of pure bisurated 'magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately after eating, they would soon forget they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, anddoe- tors would have to look elsewhere for Patients." 'in explanation of these Words a well known New York physi- cian stated that most forms of stomaclr trouble are due ter stomach acidity andt fermentation of he'food contents of the stomach combixifed With -an insufficient blood 'Supply to the stomach. Hot wa- ter increases the blood supply and bisur- ateO.

After twenty minutes they had a plan for removing the mine, ',which succeeded.

The colonel, who was .a stern soldier, was also a kindly gentle- man.

"What excuse have you' for your- self ?” asked the colonel. "Yoti have evidentlt had some education ai.d were meant for better things. Why did you make a beast of yourself ?" His words cut Tom like a knife. "Make a beast of myself," he thought, "has Tom Pollard come to that?" "Where is there to go, sir,; when one's day's work is over ?" he, asked almost sulkily. "Go?" replied the colonel, a little nonplussed, to?" And then remem- bering a visitor who came to him the previous day, he said: "There's the Y.M,C.A. hall; they teach you some- thing useful there." After his punishment was over Torn could not help seeing that.:the- better class of fellows somewhat shunned him. He could not say he was, boy- cotted, but they showed no inclination to be in his company. This touched his pride. "I am as good as they. are," he said to himself, "and a bit better nor some on 'em."

In one place I saw shed after shed piled to the roof with dis- carded shoes, most of them in such a deplorable condition that it ' seemed nothing short of a miracle could re- store them. In former years they would all have been consigned to the rubbish heap as utterly worthless. Not so now. . - Look Like New Again, "Stage after stage I saw these shoes, `broken in the war,' converted again into splendid boots, soft- and strong. I watched these clever and industrious French women soak them in some mixture and pass thein from hand to hand until the leather beceine as pliable as ever it was. They'were then scrubbed and rubbed and patch- ed, and soles or heels were put on where required. "They were next ' immersed in a bath of boiling oil, straightened and shaped; and when the last process was finished, I assure you, you could scarcely have distinguished them from shoes newly bought.

"In other enormous workshops I saw khaki uniforms, tattered, mud -soiled and some of them blood-stained, simi- larly made as good as new,' After passing them through a bath of hot water, the rags (for they are mostly nothing else) are handed to the wo- men, who cut off the sound portions with sharp knives.

"Close by you will see thousands of broken bicycles—so much scrap - iron to look at, beyond all hope of repair.

Must Make Up Shortage. Canada and the United States must cut down their .normal wheat , con- sumption by 160,000,000 bushels to meet the needs of Great Britain and the Allies. Hon. W. J. Hanna, Cana- dian Food Controller, estimates that. to feed Great Britain, France, and fh ,- other Allies, and the men at the front,. will require 1,105,000,000 bushels of wheat. this means at least 460,000,- 000 will•have to be imported. from. Canada and the United States. There will be under normal consumption in. these two countries only 300,000,000' bushels surplus for export, and so by special efforts of food conservation the people of United States and Canada will have to make up a shortage of 160,000,000 bushels.
