Basque?"
The -Basque's only reply •was a
grunt,'but those who sat around not-
iced that be filled his ear that was on•
the Rat's side with a chunk of wood
collected from a camel's pack saddle.
After each , succe§sful raid Me-
Glusky returned to the maincolumn,
and made himself such an unmiti-
gated.nu'isance as a reformer of men,
that the C. 0. soon had him out on
the war path again. Always when
with -the column he held himself aloof
froth the vivandiere, whose 'reputa-
tion by this time was not as white as
wool, owing to her close companionship
with the splendid d' are -devil d'Alen-
eon, but if he shunned the lovely
little woman thing with -all his might,
she did not shun him. Had he been
wise in the ways of women, he would
have known that he could have chosen
no better way to atract than by adop
ting his aloof demeanour; his cold -
disdain attracted her, as a .naked
candle flame on a dusky night will
attract the midnight moths, which
will flutter closer and closed, in ever
narrowing circles, until their wings
are singed. So it was with the little
(beauty: used as she was to the un-
bridled adulation of the red-blooded
men by whom she was hourly sur-
rounded, she felt the defection of this
one marl who had once loved' her to
the verge of insanity, and as McGlus-
ky was very much of a hero in the
Corps d' Afrique by this time, on ac-
count of his reckless daring and
clever military brain,•which made him
admired as much as his reforming
tactics made him detested, she wanted
im once more in leading -strings.
East and West and Down Under they
re like that, these 'warren things:
hey are greedy as the devil; if they
ave more fruit than they can eat,
hey* resent a dish getting out of
their reach, even if it be one they
ante refused to partake of; that is
why the -'nen of the Old East, whp
re 'woman -wise, say the female
things have -no souls, and give them
o place in their hereafter. La
Belle Anglaise, who, by virtue of her
accupation, was free of all army
meters, never missed, an opportunity
o place herself in McGlusley's way;
he would• send him swift smiles, that
were 'honey laden, her red lips gleam -
d "mistily, her white teeth flashing
etrween the red lines that ramparted
er mouth, whilst the adorable dimp-
les on cheeks and chin would make
the big fellow see red. Once when
handsome Fritzel the German had
caught the girl looking at MoGlusky
like that, he had grumbled to the -Rae'
?'Dot Fraulein, she is reincarnate;
in somae odder world she vos der
teffel's own mistress. :EEf ehe play
mit me like dot, hein, I grab her, an'
de heel o' my han' 'go over her mouth,
an' -'well den, de ole C. O. he half me
shot, but by jinks, •I star' for de
shootin' ja."
The Rat chewed on his vile tobacco
until he had digested:.' Fritzel's re-
marks, then he drawled:
"Gatti-- you blinkin' square'eads

the Rat -had led pini into the lines of
the 'Chasseurs, and - right in • front
stood d,'AIencon's bell-shaped tent. He'
diad just made this discovery when :a
light flickered into evidence in the
tent, and the shadow of a tell man
was silhoutted on the canvas; so plain
and distinct was the picture that both
the watching men knew beyond ques-
tion that the shadow was that_of. le
Alencon; they eaw hire- fuinele with
his tobacco pouch, saw him„ fill and
fight his pipe, and this latter action
caused the Rat to murmur:
"Did you hever get a good look at
the Chesser h•efficer's pipe, Mac?"
"A'ire'no noticed eet in particular."

"Ye're a dor thief richt doon in th'
heart o' ye." •
The Rat nhuokled .complacantly.
"Hi ain't no rainbow trout, an'
that's a fact, matey, but most men
are thieves in some bloomrin' wy or
anuvver; one steals a Woman, anuv-
ver prigs a 'orse, third bloke, steals
a title -anyway 'e steals the money
wot buys the title -an' so on, right
from the cove ,wot pushes a banana

piper said Hi was a outrageous young
blackguard, an' a •m'enace to society.
Hif 'Hi'd got awy ,wiv the meat mer-
chant's 'boodle an' bought shares in
that •blinkin' piper, they'd ha called
me a chip off th' old block, an' one
ov the pillars ov, th' state, an'---"
"Who's yon?" -
McGlusky's voice, low and. hoarse
and a wee bit shaky, broke in abrupt-
ly on the Rat's exposition of his phil-
osophy. One of his big fingers in-
dicated another figure that had ap-
peared on the canvas of d'Alencon's
tent, a little figure clad in the uni-
form of a vivandiere of La Legion.
"Looks like a blinkin' drumuner-
boy," replied the Rat mendaciously,
The denouement he had expected
was imminent, and it was his role not
toseem to recognize la belle Anglaise
so he promptly adopted a drummer -
boy as a substitute, but the shadows
on the canvas gave him the lie as he
guessed they would. The little figure
on the tent wall ran .forward with
arm's outstretched; to be met by two
outflung arms belonging to the bigger
figure; then, the lesser and the greater
mingled into one, as awns encircled
pulsing, bodies. The Rat -whispered:
"'E seems ter be 'avin' a almighty
warm 'welcome-fer a drum!m•er boy.
Struth, Hi wouldn't like a. 'ug4 Pike
that fer a -double dose ov -Scotch an
soda, but th' !bloonen' kid seems ter
like hit; see 'ow 'is little 'ead goes
back on the big Chasser's harm, an'
see, Mar, 'ow the big Chasser's face
goes darn to the little hupturned fice.
Hif the Chesser hain't bitin' like
blazes, 'e's kissin' like 'ell. Well, 'e
can 'ave my share -Hi never did 'ave
no use fer drummver-boys. These
French boobs do 'ave queer tastes;

bin' that shook orl th' kissin' business
hout ov 'im. Hi-"
"Hae ye no eyes, ye loon? Eet's
no a drumlmer-+boy, eet's-eet's th'
vivandiere."
The btende rage and pain in the
big fellow's voice went right through
the seasoned eellousness of the Rat,
hardened though he was, for he loved
the giant of a man with .all the soul
there was in hint. •
'Lord, matey, so hit his."
Keenan." •

Just as the moon 'was'ds opping out
f. sight, making' the desert country
look ghostly like the graveyard of a
nation,, the 'fat, . who had , all along
kept u'p-his intimacy Nvith-McGlusky,
in spite of the latter's advance in
rnk, suggested a stroll to the big
fe low and , ,a d to this 'Mac agreed will-
ingly,
ill-
in l for y, he was restless with his
'newly found• bliss romping in his
veins. As they mooned about Mac
was whistling `a droving tune,' that
could never have been found in any
hymn- book; it had been composed in
the old A•uetlalian days„by a- Queens-
land 'bullock - driver, and the words
made life very sultry for 'McGlusky,
for he sy,'earned for this one women
with all ".the power of his volcanic na-
ture, but when -the--girl, _,finding that.
her_ smiles did not cause him to , sur-
render, altered her tactics, .and made
'her eyes her main batteriesof of, -
fence, then indeed was he in immint-
ent peril, or, as the Rat, eloquently'
put it,"'e blinkin' near carie unstitch
er." The vivandiere laid aside her
Moorish vivacity, and bro ught the -
other half, of. her breeding . into op-
eration the We
Welsh half. Like1
a most
all girls of Welsh strain, she could
use her eyes in a man hunt; she knew.
by inherited instinct how to drape
her eyes with the witching sadness,
like the 'Shadows behind the sunlight
on the Welsh hills; poetry, pain,
pleading, can all go into those eyes,
and seem to tell -of a heart in an -
guise', whilst ie. reality the fair, or
dark, owner, of the eyes •tray be won-
dering if it will 'be mutton cutlets or

'She is clever as a she -Satan, dot
von; she eat der big feller'mit her
eyes; he go soft all over, ja," was
Fritzel"s comment.
1gShe's a° carmine wonder at the
liegeshootin' hact, an' that's a fact,"
agreed the Rat... `4Worked' some of it
orf on me, as hif she' wanted me to
'elp 'eal 'er 'bleedin' 'east by softenin'
Mac towards 'er, th' slut -ergot me go -
in' too, she did fr a bit, made me feel

"`You don' meddle mit 'din yob, Rat;
dot Fraulein got der dice loaded; she
got McGlusky sure, an' you make hirci
not your friend mit interferin',"
14Hi'm goin' ter mix in this, an'
damn th' consequence," was . the
stubborn reply, and a week later the
Rat fulfilled his threat, for he saw
the vivandiere's eyes were turning
Mac's bones to gristle, and the Rat
knew, many things that his big com-
rade 'did not know, for he hag taken
to watching d'Alencon's tent in the
lines of the gray Chasseurs'o' nights.
One evening the vivandiere had so
far melted McGlusky's resolve not to
gaze upon forbidden fruit in the guise
of 'women, that in a moment of pas-
sionate yearning he had taken both
her shapely hands in his, and had
drawn her to him whilst she purred
against his big chest. .
"Eef," the big, strong man had fal-
tered, "A were sure ye had na sold
yersei' tae the lusts o' th' flesh, A''d
mak' ye -'Mrs. Jamie 'McGlusky, an'
hold ye against th' world, but be-
cause A love ye as A dae, A wed na
hae ye in wantonness, nor -wad A tak' '
ye eef ye'd been anither's toy; A
cud na lend th' theehg A loved tae
ither's uses; A'd rather put ma gun
tae yr breast, an' then tae ma ain
head, A wad tha'," and he thought
he meant it.
She had cooed to him then, vowing
she was as 'virginal as at her birth,
and he, being a man in love, believed,
and went about his duties treading
upon air. That evening he did not
attempt to scatter any of the seeds
of reformation, for this old world
seemed a good enough place to him;
instead of 'preaching, he sat with a
short stub of pencil,, writing poetry,
and 'because he had no other book to
write it in, he wrote it on the fly -leaf
of his old Bible.
"A cup of water and a broken crust,,
If shared't by you, with love to'
whisper grace,
renould make me captain of my sou-
Your heart my throne, my heaven
in your face." -
The Rat on the prowl, read those
lines whilst McGlusky was relieving
guard. He grinned a sardonic grin,
and remarked:
071►if 'Hi'nil goin'. to hact, the sooner

That was all he said, and then he
snuggled close up to McGlusky, and
hugged the big 'aim the twas nearest
hint: 'He knew that 'Mac had to be
disillusioned' in regard to the vivan-
-dfere, for the longer the awakening
was kept balk, the greater the shock
would be, bet the vindicative glances
he threw in the direction of d'Alen-
con's tent, and the suggestive manner

,As if she had , heard and accepted
the challenge, the vivandiere' turned
with an jmpulsive movement right at
the tents exit, and flung her arras
around the +Qhasser's neck.

Rat, "but 'e don'tseem great on th

the light Aeet the tent, and the two
who had been inside stepped out into
the silvery radiance of • a starlit Af-
rican night. As they reeved off in
the direction of the vivandiei's quar-
tere..in.,the,lines. of the Legion d'Af-
,rique, 'McGluske made a forward
movement. The Rat clutched 'one of
his "arms.

"Like 'ell you do. Hif Hi ain't in

Mac made an impatient gesture,.
and moved forward slowly in the di-
-rection the 'man and woman .had tak-
en. The Rat, ;undisturbed by ' the
snueibing silence of his companion,
went with him, though no one knew
better than he that if trouble followed.
between MsGlusky and the Chasseurs
officer,'. he 'would stand a good. chance
of sharing what punishment might
'befall the big fellow.
!The vivandiere went into her tent;
d'Alancon, evidently unprepared for
sleep, strolled out through the lines,
never dreaming of the figures •follow-

FARM NOTES
Beekeepers' Losses Heavy.
-Reports received from over 350 re-
presentative Ontario honey producers.
indicate -that the number of colonies
winter -killed was the largest in the
experience of many bee -keepers. One
of them reports, a loss of 200 colonies
out of an apiary of 400' colonies. It
is estimated' that 15 per cent, of the
total number of colonies were winter
killed, or approximately 30,009 hives.
The majority of bee keepers report
the condition of their colonies as be-
ing fair.; with a larger percentage of
weak bees than ordinarily..Prospects
for food supplies are none too favor-
able due to the extensive damage
done to alfalfa and clover fields, the
average loss for the province. being
29 'per cent, The 1933 output of
honey has been well -cleared and sup-
plies on hand for sales are much be-
loiv normal. From, a price stand-
point the future holds a possibility
of an upward movement.
Current Crop Report.
Continued drouth during the month
of May in most districts of the pro-
vince has seriously affected the hay
outlook. Fall wheat, strawberries,
in fact the majority of crops hove
also suffered from lack of moisture.
Frosts occurred in some parts of On-
tario, with Grey County reporting a
loss of 70,000 tomato plants in the
Meaford area from this cause. Peel
County reports sales of baby chicks
by chick hatcheries well up to the
average of recent years, also a pro-
nounced drop in Chick disease inquir-
ies. (Ninety per cent. of the baby
chicks cold there were from blood -
tested flocks. ''Essex has thousands
of acres of good alfalfa and .red clove
er, standing thick en the ground., but
frosts and dry weather have held
these crops back, too. York County
estimates a loss of two-thirds of its
hap crop. Crops of peas, oats, soy
bean's and millet are being sown to
replace the lost hay crop. Prescot

ject of Oriental immigration is
nikuch debated subject. The opposi-
tion is 'based on the, ground of :race
distinction. :Europeans can be assim-
ilated, Orientals never, (Competition
would lower the, standard of living.
Our••citizens, especially our children
should not be exposed to Oriental
standards of morals. The arguments
on the other side are, racial differen-
ces are not fundamental. Exclusion
is inconsistent with the principles of
free government. The entrance of
Orientals into the country should be
accepted as a challenge to .find a
Christian solution. They are here.
Shall we antagonize them or shall we
be their friends? '

ing will be held at the lSi miner cot-
