A PRAYER
Lord watch o'er my boys to -night;
On the distant battlefield,
And when dawns the morning light
Be thou still their stay and shield;
By their side be in the strife,
May they feel Thy presence near,
If it please Thee spare their life—
They to me, Lord, is so dear.
If Thou be their guard and guide
Then to them can come no harm,
They are safe what'er betide
If encircled by Thine arm.
Oft times they must lonely be *
Far from home and dear loved ones:
Keep their mind, Lord, stayed on Thee,
E'en. amid the booming guns.
When the battle rages long
Grant that theyanay firmly etand;
In Thy strength they will be strong
If Thou hold them by the hand,
Lord, when victory is won
And at last the war is o'er,
When my hero's duty done
Grant that we may meet once more.
MOTHER.

BLEW UP ARSENAL,
Adventures of Daring Englishman
,Among the. Turks,
A recent number of "Blackwood's"
contains an account of the activities
in the war of an Engliehman,e'Watter
Greenway, who had fled justice in his
native land, became a resident of
.Arabia, and settled near Aden with
an Arab wife. The man served as a
sPy in the Mesopotamia campaign,
entered tho Turkish lines, was cap-
tured and put to torture, being burnt
about the body and suffering the lose
of one arm, and, after performing
invaluable service to the British
force, escaped. The narrative has
been summarized in the Spectator.
Greenway visited Aden one day, and
there climbed a water -pipe on a high
building to rescue a mewing kitten.
As the one-armed adventurer de-
scended among a breathless crime. he
overheard some Germans speak dis-
paragingly of his folly. He tracked
them and overheard other things of
more importance. They had a store
of "clocks" (which were really in-
fernal machines) for placing in Brit-
ish trading vessels. He acted as bur-
glar once more and at night carried
at Bagdael, the existence of which he
off the clocks as well as a German
officer's uniform. Ho determined to
use the clocks to blow up the arsenal
at Bagdad, the existence of which he
had also heard mentioned. He went
to the Persian Gulf, and there bor-
rowed a motor -boat which his father-
in-law had bought from an English-
man before the war. From Basra his
objective was 300 miles away up the
Tigris. He completed the dangerous
journey with his clocks to a spot near
Bag
aad"Marching:
to the Turkish colonel
in charge, he was received with true
Oriental courtesy, but little real
favor, A few German junior officers
who hung about enabled him to dem-
onstrate his importance. They were
susalcious at first. It was fortunate
he remembered German tastes and
had brought strong drinlc with him.

own, but about the year 1060 the dis-
trict came under the, rule of. Conrad,
took himself the title of the Count of
Luxemburg, and his descendants rul-
ed in the land for nearly 400 years.
Luxemburg, however, during these
centuries, did not make much history,
OB the history of Europe in those days
was reckoned. It shared in all the
struggles which swept, back and forth,
against the Low Countries, but it kept
itself generally intact, and did not ex-
perience any of the almost absurd die-
meMberinents and territorial adjuet-
silents which characterized its later
history, down to the threshold of the
present day.
It was in the early years of the fit --
tenth century that its troubles in this
respect began. About that, time, by
the marriage of the daughter of Sig-
ismund, the Holy Roman emperor,
who was also Count of Luxemburg, to
.A.Ibert II, king of Bohemia and Hun -
gray, the duchy, for so it had been
created in 1 3 5 4, paesed to tho house

years later, bat, within another hun-
dred years, came into the possession of
Spain. After a section had been ceded
to Prance, in 1,359, the remainder was
made over to the Emperor Charles Vi
by the Treaty of TArecht, in 171.3. Just
