appeal to be made in Canada during
Armistice week in November. • The
Fund will be known as "The British

To Mike Known the Need. e
The -Canadian Red Cross -Society
accepted the task of making this ap-
peal known throughout Canada only
in view of the relentless circum-
stances and the humane desire to
help to alleviate the terrible suffering
of a large number of peoples. The
reasons are numerous .and com-
pelling. Large populations are suf-
fering from distress and disease. Mil-
lions of innocent children are among
them. Even in time of peace great
numbers of their people lived close
to the bread line. The war d'ained
th,era 'of all their surplus resources.
Through' the years of strife they
were denied all but the barest neces-
sities, and their condition now is
pitiful indeed. History ,has repeated
itself: The diseases which took such
fearful toil of human life after the
Thirty Years' War, the Seven -Years'
War (1757-65), and the Napoleonic
Wars are again widespread, and now
there. are millions of people in
Galicia, Poland, Jugo-Slavia and Rou-
mania who, in addition to being pov-
elly stricken, are in the direst misery
and despair on account of disease.
In eome twelve countries, most, of
which were either our Arne"; or
friendly to the Allied cause, modern
civilization is faced with the :inevit-
able consequences of a great war
through partial fanaine- and pesti-
lence.

appearance of yellow faeces always
indicates that the meconitun has peen
all voided and that the excreta ap-
pearing is the effete material of nour-
ishment taken after. birth. ,This con-
dition should be present at about 24
hours after birth. •In many cases,
either through want of sufficient es-
pulsivi) force or by reason of some
lumps of medonium -being so large
that the animal cannot °force them
through the anus, the 'substance is
not voided. Retention of momentum
probably causes...more deaths in Male
than any other condition.
Symptoras.—The foal elevates the
tail, arches the back, and Makes in-
effectual efforts to defecate. At first
he does mit appear to suffer acutely,
but as none passes he becomes un-
easy, the efforts are more violent and
more frequent, he refuses to nurse
normally, and later on will not nurse
at all; lies a great deal evidently suf-
fering acutely, becomes more uneasy
and weak and dies in a variable time.
Treatment. —Some breeders gine a
laxative or purgative immediately
after birth as a preventive. This, we
consider, is a mistake, as it often
causes acilte diarrhoea, which is al-
ways serious and often fatal.
When we • kaom that the trouble
is in the rectum and that drugs given
by tbe mouth have little or no effect
upon, the contents; of this organ, we
can readily see that by increasing
the actions of the interior intestines,
but not removipg the cause of trou-
ble, is very liable to cause serious
complications, in cases where reten-
tion is present. In most cases _the
trouble can be removed mechanically,.

Kenneth Marthorn proceeded to
harness and to tame for the uses of
the X. IC., the wild thing that the
Temiscouata had turned loose when
the dynamite shattered the natural
gateway of the waters of the
Ebeemah outlet.
• Clare overtook bird at Whirling -
stone While he was making his can-
vass of _the X. K. camps.
Their legal investigator's reports
which she brought revealed that what
he had been suspecting was a bitter
fact; there had been no move to make
the temporary injunctions permanent
by action before the court; no legisla-
tion which would. help the X. IC: had
been introduceEno attenipts had been
made to block Temiscouate, legisla-
tion which was inimical to the X. K.
The girl had trusted her agents and
had been betrayed into the handsoof

But be comforted her in her hum-
iliation and remorse as best he could;

-explained what he proposed to do
and, with her at his side to give him
standing and authority, he set about
doing it.
• The thaws were imminent, but the
ice I:midge still held' back the waters
Of the lakes, he was able to take ad-
vantage of the....oitoation, and he
threw a little army of toilers into the
gorges of the outlet. •
• The outlet was ,a succession of
Mumps" 'down the terraced mountain
. side. Between, the leaps there were
ledgy shelves, short spaces of dead -
water and slow-ntoving current. Here
and, there were remnants of the
former works which had been left
by those Who had tried to drive the
stream bir old-fashioned methods;
there were hold -dams to control flow,
there were splash -dams -to direct the
current and guide the logs. -
But attempts "to 'drive' the • outlet
had! failed. The operators had lack-
ed technical shill of the modern- sort
and, had none of the bold vision of
the inventor. They had attempted
to bridge the jumps with ordinary
sluices. When the water had been
turned on from the hold -clams and
the logs were moving, the sluices
overflowed because the pitches were
steep and the volmne_ of water could
not be sufficiently' controlled. The
logs, bore high on the rushing cur-
rent, jumped the track like unruly
railway cars and were jackstrawed
in heaps of timber.
In this abundance of abandoned
Millpokes" the engineer found plenty
of material right at hand.
His men, fired by the presence of
Clare and their new understanding
and their awakened loyalty for the
X. K. obeyed hirn and worked des-
perately. And there was enthusi-
asm, too! They promptly realized
that Marthorn had solved the problem
of the gorges. .
He built log lanes down the raiddle
of the descents.
There were many natural recept-
acles for the ends of his uprights,
pot -hales wrought by the attrition, of
whirling pebbles through the cene
titles. Between the uprights the
workers bolted horizontal, parallel
logs, each log "chocked" apart from
its neighbor a feet inches.
It was a device which tamed the
torrent.
Kenneth e-xplained to Clare that

when Mulkern loaded box after box
of dynamite from the store -camp on
his sledge. Mr. Kilbeck, as custodian,
tffected to be so bosily engaged that
he did not notice Mulkern. The
latter rode off toward the hills.
After he had gone a Temiscouata
bon mine to the Sidid,e-hook looking
for somebody in authority; he wrath-
fully declared that Mulkern had held
off the blasting crew at the upper
outlet and had taken the stock of
dynamite.
"He was always middling fond 0'
the stuff," coinmented Kilbeck. "But
I never conseedered that he'd be gang-
ing oot o' his sound wits aboot
He pondered on the aloofness of
Mulkern and on the man's aminous
and brooding silende while he had
been at the camp. "A wee big wrang
alaft, if I guess richt! If ut hap-
pens as I'm minded ut's likely -to
happen, they'll be prenting news
about the Totem and it all start
with 'front latest reports."
"I've come here for dynamite to
replace what he stole."
"All the dynamite ye'll find here,
mon, wouldna blow a snowflake off
a lassie's cheek. Hunt for yourself
if Ye don't credit my wor-rd. And
ye'd best go hunt for Thn Mulkern.
He has enough of ut now so that he
can pay the Temiscouata back."

Then, tittle by little,whisperifing
painfully, giving information by de-

understand that the errand woe' an

er This opportunity to :repay by ser-

matters. And the continual. presence,
of Cisme at his side, eagerly, grate-

And the element of danger entered
to complicate the general interest;
every now and then shots were fired

The prospect of those questions, his
knowledge of his guilt, the madden-

Kenneth Marthorn as her chatnpion,
left Kezar no option; it was plain
that he no longer had any place in
her affairs. He left for her a. curt
note stating that he had decided to
take a job with the Terniscouata

symptoms of a spirit of- vengeance
that was implacable. Kenneth realiz-

the provocation bad been unpardon-
able.
_Grace o' God and a stout ash crutch

he loded best.
The Temiscouata aad pointed its

him on.
Kenneth, pondering omthese things
frowned up at the hills, speculating
on what a half -crazed man might be
expected to do. Mulkern was in the
hills. Milken]: had enough canned

of an angry Jove.

Kilbeck did not reply for a
