What Col. Repington told the

that for the first time in the history
of the war a British force on- the
Western front had been placed under
the command of a commander who
was not British. In the case of Salo-

been operating or failing to operate

and Gwyn hung up the. receiver. When

in a itain of cars, all armed to rush along
the rails to the town.

were watching closely now, for they would
soon come into sight of the road and they
were anxious to eucountcr the mea who

Council thought fit to move them.
Gen. Robertson objected to this ar-
'ranrenhent, and while Col. Repington
is an admirer of Gen. Robertson, it
is not plain, from cabled despatches,
that he objected to the creation of
this speeial body of troops. Itis of-
fence was that he told the world of
tine of the decisions at the confer-
ence, and thus brought himself into
the clutches of the law. Of course,
there is n'ore behind than meets the
eye or is likely to meet it in the im-
mediate future.
.Perhaps it is safe to say that the
important thing • behind it is that
Lord Northcliffe and Col Repington
have conflicting ideas as to how the
war should beconducted, that Lord
Northcliffe has now come to the con-
clusion that Lloyd George is doing
well, whereas Repington never had
the opinion, declared it more than
once when • he was the expert .on the
Times, and left the Times after
Northcliffe and Lloyd. George had
come to an agreement. It Is a fair
assumption that until lately Col. Rep-
ington directed the military policy of
the Times. It was Repington who too
his courage in his hands in the early
days ' of the war and exposed the
shortage of high explosive shells on
the Western front. It may have been
Repington, who worked under Kitch-
ener, who inspired the Times to de-
mand that Kitchener be matte Secre-
tary of War.
Col. Repington is probably tihe
most respected of war critics writing
in the English language. IIe is not
a journalist who has made a specialty
of military affairs. He is a soldier,
and -a distinguished soldier. Be saw

In 1898, as a colonel, he was men-
tioned in despatches from the Sudan.
He fought against the Boers and won
his C.M.G., and was military attache.
at Brussels and The Hague'
and lat-
er on became attached to the Times
as military correspondent. When h,'
held this- post he was also invited by
the Government to edit a Military
Review, an official publication, fos-
tered by Lord Haldane. On one occa-
sion there was a short but somewhat
acrimonious debate in Parliament
concerning the dual position that. Col,-
Repington occupied. As a membei
of the War Office and editor of the
Review he came naturally tato the,
possession of information that other
journalists were denied, and it was
alleged that this gave him an unfair
advantage"in his role as military cor-
respondent of the Times. At the tem'•
of the debate, however, it seemed to
be generally admitted that he was an
authority upon military matters.
Lord Haldane said that if the boat
man in England was to be had for
the purposes of the War Office Rep-
ington was the inevitable man.
A tribute from Haldane is not ex.
actly something that a` man -would
care to frame and hang ov, r

no doubt Col, Repington and Mr.
Gwynne are easy in their conscience.
The former has no doubt the idea
that civilians are titlddling too much
in affairs that are purely military,
and that Lord Northcliffe is afflicted
with a disease that east Caelsar his

the storehouse afire. With oil and gaso-
line from- a nearby garage, Rawls soaked
the wooden structure at all four corners
and applied the match himself. It was
blazing merrily as Hogan's .men topped
the nearest ridge and advanced to the
attack,
As soon as the rout of the inhabitants
of the town was assured, Rawls had left
the battle and gone back to Nan, who
was still tied in the saddle. The repulsive
fellow picked her up in his arms and car-
ried her through the gate of the jail,
kicked open a door and des:ended to the
cellar. This was a small, high-ceilinged
room lit only by a tiny broken window
set high up against the rafters out of
reach. As he cut the ropes from her
wrists and ankles she sprang away and
faced him like a hunted thing at hay.
But Rawls only smiled,
"Now, my pretty . one," he 'simpered
ironically, "you shouldn't he afraid of a
nice little boy like Inc." She shuddered
at the emotion portrayed on his muddy
eyes. "Come, come!" he added roughly,
you needn't be so fancy. Give me a kiss."
Nan dodged as he carne toward her, but
he caught her hand and pulled her back.
Infuriated, desperate, she fought as olily a
woman can fight when she herself is at
stake. Scratching and kicking like a
wildcat she fairly drove Rawls back. He
was 'in a mean temper now, and it was
fortunate indeed that an interruption
turned his mind to other things.

To Prevent Bees Swarming.
June is the swarming month 'and
time of supering for the main honey
flow which begins between the 1011)
and the 20th of the month, depend-
ing on the season and the latitude.
Be sure to give supers enough to
avoid any crowding which may .cause
the bees to become discouraged, quit
work and swarm excessively. It
should be the beekeeper's aim io
prevent swarming as much as pos-
sible. This is done by keeping young
queens, giving plenty of room and a
systematic examination of brood -
chambers to detect colonies which
are preparing to swarm. When Queen
cells are found far advanced they
should all be destroyed and the queen
herself removed. After the colony
has been queenless one week the
combs should again be examined and
all cells except one removed. This
one will provide them with a queen
and if only one is left they will not
swarm again. Where an improvement
of stock is desired the new queen
may be given instead of leaving one
queen cell. -
Natural swarms should be hived on
the old stand after removing the
parent colony to one side. The
swarms should be given the supers
from the old colony. New swarms
work with great vigor because they
have no brood to care for during the
first week. Colonies held together
swarming gather more honey
than those which swarm. It is the
beekeepers patriotic duty to reduce
the cost of honey producticn and thus
increase the quantity he is called to
produce as greatly as possible. They
also cause the beekeeper less trouble
at unexpected times. This may be
done more by swarm prevention than
in any other way. Bulletin 233 (On-
tario Department of Agriculture)
takes this matter up thoroughly and
should be carefully studied by all
beekeepers. --• Provincial Apiarist,
Ontario Agricultural College. Guelph.

For Hogan's men were advancing to-
wards the barricade, and the first shots
found Rawls locking the cellar door in
haste and rushing off to the fight. Hogan
had deployed his men in a long line facing
the entrance to the town, and the struggle
was bitter and persistent. Protected by
the breastworks erected by the towns-
people, Von Bleck's men were at a dis-
tinct advantage, and IIogan made little
progress. Gwyn came up for a consulta-
tion, and one of the posse was called
aside. -
"A troop of United States cavalry ar-
rived last night at Pinkton," said Gwyn,
"and we want you to find a telephone and
send a call for help. Tell them it's the
cinnabar mine."
By this time the fire from the store-
house had spread so rapidly that the
whole end of the town was ablaze- Sparks
were falling even on the barricade itself,
and soon a flame shot up. A mall rushed
forward with a bucket, but a rifle ball.
cropped him in his tracks. As the fire
spread along the flimsy shelter the advan-
tage turned to Hogan. • Rawl's men,
blinded by the smoke, retreated cautious-
ly toward the unburned section.
"Charge! shouted Gwyn, .and the posse
led by Hogan leaped over the burning
barrier and carried the fight straight into
the heart of the town. Again the advan-
tage changed hands, for Hogan, with the
flames at his back, was forced to drive
,the bandits back as the fire approached.
Already the jail in which Nan was im-
prisoned was burning brightly, and Gwyn,
ignorant of her plight, was leading several
men up a side street for a flanking move-

"Lie down," commanded Gwyn to his
followers. Cocking his rifle, he stepped
behind an open gate and took careful airn.
Several minutes passed, and then a hat
was shoved around the corner. Gwyn
waited, and a moment later Rawls dashed
across the street opening to escape. As
Gwyn fired the bandit whirled on one foot
and fell headlong, a bultett through his
breast. In an instant Gwyn was bending
over him.
"Where is Nan?" he asked anxiously.
"Ali!" breathed Rawls, a certain cruel
pleasure showing on his face in spite of
the pain. "You win the imine, but the
girl ---look!" Ile tried to point to the
flaming jail, gasped, and fell back. But
Gwyn understood,
"You---!" he stopped. Rawls was
dead. With Ilogan's dog, wilo had fol-
lowed, close at his heels, he dashed toward
the jail and flung himself at the door. A
swirl of heat and flame forced' him back.
Grasping a burning plank lie broke open
one of the windows, but the room was
like a furnace. And then he suddenly
realized that the dog was barking furious-
ly at they rear of the building. As Gwyn
turned the coiner the faithful animal gave

important part she has taken in the
war has greatly strengthened her
claim.
Most persons do not realize what
India's contribution has been almost
insuperable. Her army at that time
consisted of 'x8,000 British and 158,-
000 native troops. How confidently
Britain relied on her loyalty is shown
by the fact that practically the whole
of these troops were sent to various
fronts 119 seen as possible. India, for
a time, was almost denuded of. sol-
diers, with the exception of some
British territorials in training, who
were used to guard the border.
Since the struggle began- she has
contributed at least half a million
men, most of whom have been em-
ployer' in Mesopotamia, Egypt and
South Afrfea, Many thousands have
also been in France, where they did
excellent service, but where the cli-
matic conditions were found unsuit-
able for them, ro
There was touch fear lest the alli-
ance between Germany and Turkey
alight strain the allegiance of Bri=
tain's alahommetan subjects,'but this
idea proved to be entirely without
foundation. The Jelled, or holy war,
proclaimed by the Sultan, seems to
have had about as much effect among
Mahommetans as the Pope's peace
proposals among Christians,
Financially, also, India, has done
well. She has paid the cost of her
own military expeditions and she has
donated half a billion dollars to the
general expenses of the war, In addi-
tion, her ruling chiefs have testified
their devotion by +nunidoent gifts.
In view of there facts it will be hard
to deny her whatever degree of self-
government her people may desire.
