"Seventeen years passed. The baby

thirty-seven and the guardsman forty.
The latter had never married, and his
love for ,the fraulein had grown to be
a dominant passion with him. He was
getting gray and bald and showed oth-

In some respects lire tests arc more

ever, Mr. Cody is already hard at

The excellent condition as to pack-

even the best of them are not capable

and it"vould require a good deal of

• In stipulating that in the British
sections of the competitions foreign
motors may be used, the War Office
have mo doubt assumed that British
motor makers would be hard pressed
to produce high-powered engines in
time for the trials. There are good
engines up to 60 h.p. available now
but it would not be easy to produce
bigger ones and get them it trim for
these severe trials by next summer.
At the same time, in a British test,
foreign engines ought to be excluded;
their opportunity Iies in the interna-
tional division of the Competitions. It
is just as important to enoourage the
production of British aero -motors as
of„ British aeroplanes. This is the

Smith and Stead lied known ono an-

hours of illuniinating conversaeon
the two men - both of world-wide
note - discussed world figures and
world events with a rare and inti-
mate kr.owledge. The veteran -phil.
osopher sat in his arm chair by the
cheer e nd typically English fire-
side; the younger publicist paced the
floor with almost nervous energy as
he spoke. Dr. Smith finally raised
his hand in protest. The constant
dynamic activity of the visitor drew
forth a p'hysician's warning.
"Nave no fear, doctor," quoth
Stead with characteristic directness.
"There has come to me the assurance
that I shall live every nr.,ment of my

Ostrich Chases M.P.
While sightseeing outside Lady-
smith, during his tour in South Af-
rica, Sir Joseph Walton, M.P. for
Barnsley, Eng., had an exciting ad-
venture. He noticed that he was be-
ing pursued by a cock ostrich. This,
it appears, was the same bird which
had previously knocked down two ofii-
ce'rs, who were compelled to lie doevih
on their faces while the bird stood
or jumped on them.
"Knowing that my only chance of
escape," says Sir Joseph, "was to Iie
flown flat on my face, cr get on an
elevation, I made quiokly for the lar-
ger (thrown up during the siege), and
mounted the wall. i went round 'the
walls of the laager, hoping to shake
him off, but he followed s:a•sdily yard
by yard, awaiting his opportunity.
`At last I -signalled, to my carriage,
and when it was between me and the
ostrich I leaped off the laager and
bolted into the carriage. We, drove
off, followed a long way by the bird."
Women on the English Stage.

records "the first time that I ever
saw women come upon the stage."
Previously all female parts had been
taken ' by boys or young men. The
change was probably suggested by
Charles II. from his continental ex-
perience and arose from an amusing
episode. The ,ring, had gone to the

BRONCUITIS
Was So Choked Up
She Could Hardly

Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of
the mucus membrane lining the air tubes
of the lungs, and should never be ne-
glected, for if it is very often the disease
becomes chronic, and then it is only a
short step to consumption.
On the first sign of bronchitis Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be
taken, and thus prevent it becoming
chronic. •
