His mother w pear by, for Chub was only a little f low, no bigger than. a fifty -Cent pies and she had kept a close eye on hi from the time he first came out of th sand a few months before, Chub long ed to set out and see the world fo , himself, but his mother always said "Don't be in a hurry, Chub, to seo adventure. If you will only wa long enough, perhaps the adventure will come to you." And sure enough, while Chub and his ',other Were sunning themselves on the sand the adventure came—in the form of a small but very active boy who was walking in the woods with his rfiother. They had a lunch- eon basket and a bunch of wild flow- ers that they had been picking, When Chub's mother saw them, she called out, "Come, cone, Chub Turtle! The water is the best place for us!" Straightway she splashed into the pond as fast as she could go, but Chub lingered on the sand. All would have been well if he had obeyed hi mother; but he disobeyed her, and s he had only himrelr to blame for wha followed. When Mother Turtle splashed int the water, the boy—whose name wa Sonny—left his mother and came run ping to the shore. His eyes fell o Chub, and quick as a flash he pot -ulcer on him and picked him up. "Oh, look, mother! Look!" he call- ed. "See the baby turtle! I am go ing to take it home! Please say tha may!" Sonny and his mother took a littl WI' box from the lunch basket an put. Chub into it, and with him som wet moss and sand to make him fee at lion bohydrates prevents eggs rA from being in any sense a le ` complete food."

In the foreground of the British 8 troops' view stands the Butte de War- ° leneourt, the mysterious tumulus con—cerning whose origin nobody upon the ! countryside can tell one anything— ° the burial place of captains and of 6. kings in wars outlived and forgotten. p it used to be a green hump rising abruptly beside the big road, fifty feet llhigh and one hundred yards or so at its base. There was a path up its slopes and a bench and an arbor on its summit, and scars here and there atl upon Its flanks where antiquaries had ! burrowed Into, the pitch black tombs d beneath It. It was a derelict of his- tory adrift upon. the sea of Time; but ° 1 now history has captured it and made it fast forever. At least two great dugouts for large s numbers of men have been located within the Butte, and besides there Sonny put the tin box that wa Chub's home into a warns window,and caught flies for hien to ea.t brought water to keep the moss damp until he and Chub became very good friends. When Rodney and Dwight two of Sonny's friends, saw Chub they said at once that they, too, want ed a turtle, and promptly made plans to go to the pond to hunt for some of Chub's brothers and sisters. While they were talking it over, an automo- bile came chug -chugging along the driveway. Sonny ran to get his wagon out of the way, but in his haste he upset it and spilled Chub into the grass. That was a most exciting adventure. Chub was not hurt, but he was afraid some one Would step on him: and what should 'he do if Sonny did not find him ?" The three boys hunted and Bunted for Chub a long time. They looked everywhere except in the right place, and they might never have found him at all if Binx, the cat, had not come to help them. Binx had keen ayes and a sharp nose that led him straight to the spot where Chub was, and in a moment more Sonny had the baby turtle in his hand and was carrying him to the safety of the tin box. A few days after that Sonny and his mother took their luncheon and went for another walk to the woods where the pond was. "I'll take Chub along," said Sonny. "I'm sure he will like a picnic, too; and perhaps we can find another baby turtle to bring home with him." .. But it did not happen at all as Sonny planned. While they were be- side the pond lie took Chub from the tin box a ndput hint down on the ground, "Be careful, Sonny!" called his mother. "Don't leave Chub there, or he will go into the water!" "Oh, no, he can't get away," said Sonny, and he watched the baby turtle crawl very slowly along the sand. But suddenly Chub knew that he liked the woods, and the sandy beach and the water better than a tin box, and before Sonny ,could seize him he had hurried into the water and dis- appeared. Sonnylooked and looked, but Chub did not come back. "It's s al 1 right," y Senn said at last. "Probably he will be happier there, and I'm sure his mother will be glad to have him home again." So it came about that Chuh, who had become a prisoner because he did not obey Mother Turtle, got his lib- erty again because Sonny did not obey, his !nether. Chub has often told then 4.. little turtles, but he suns himself now' • on a log or a lily pad, rather than on! the sandy shore where some one; 0, might coma along andpickhim 'Youth's Companion.

A TALK ON RHEUMATISM i a th THE FASHIONS s It is very unlikely now that there o will be any surprises in store before er the spring fashions begin to appear, 11 and it 10 still too early to anticipate of these, though it must be admitted thnt d such a thing as spring talk, even as 8'1 early as this, has not been unheard of. ° We may be thoroughly assured, j however, that the straight lines and soul ! slim silhouette, of which we have r o heard and seen so much, are to stay ' 1 with us threughout the season, On o every side we see countless variations a ' of the chemise dress, which has cer- d I tainly been the most insistent note 1 a , from Paris all along. h A Paris model which has been °i copied again and again with great success is itt is s illustrated t here.I of h 1 taed Copenhagen blue chiffon velvet with Y ' silver metallic embroidery worked in r Y ; the simple darning stiteh, one of the d ' moat widely used garnitures for the surssarsMacraie fashionable dresses at present. The overdress effect is such that it may be carried out in two materials. For a very rich effect there is no smart -i er combination than satin and velvet, unless it be Georgette and velvet. ' These combinations, w•'til the addition g of fur, occasionally, are in excellent taste and entirely approved by fashion ,leaders. It is well established also, that satin is one of the leading materials for dresses this season. As popular and numerous as were the taffeta dresses in the autumn, 50 are the satin frocks this winter. One of the reasons for its popularity is that this material is not too light to be worn eomfortably under the top coat, even in cold weather. Again, it is not considered Telling How to Actually Cure This Painful Malady. This article is for the man or wo- man who suffers from rheumatism who wants to be cured, not merely relieved -but actually cured. The most the rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the ten- der, aching joint, is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or can make a cure. The rheumatic poison is rooted in the blood. Therefore rheumatism can only be cured when 11115 poisonous acid is driven out of the blood, Any doctor will tell you hie this is true. If you want something that will go right to the root of the blood take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They make new, rich blood which drives' out the poisonous acid and cures rheumatism to stay cured. The truth of these statements has been proved in thousands of cases through- out Canada, and the following cure is a striking instance, Mrs, F. M. Simp- son, R.R. No. 1, Blenheim, Ont., says: "For a long time I was confined to my bed, and actually crippled with rheu- matism. The trouble first located in my ankle—which was much swollen. I thought it might be a sprain, but the doctor said it was rheumatism and advised me to go to bed so that the trouble would not be agkravated. I did as directed, but instead of get- ing better it spread first to my right knee, then to_my left, knee, and then o my arms. The limbs were much woilen, and if I. moved them caused me considerable pain. I seemed to get weak in other respects and fell off In weight from 156 to 110 pounds. I had no appetite and seemed 10 lose nterest in everything. One day while readingI a paper aper came L across he case of a rheumatic sufferer cured y using Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I ecided to try them and sent for three axes. By the time these were gone had certainly begun to improve, and with help was able to get up. Con- nuing the use of the pills I was first ble to go about with the use of a retch, which later I discarded for a ane, and then through the use of the ills I was able to throw aside the ane as well, and go about as briskly s I had ever done. I feel that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have been a blessing to me, and I strongly re- commend them to other similar. suf- ferers." You can procure these pills through any dealer In medicine or get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes b d b ti A Tibetan wild dog (Cyon alpinus), a received in exchange from. Sir Claude c Alexander, is perhops the most inter- c aging addition to the London Zoologi- p cal Society's collection of mammals c made slhice the outbreak of the war, a says a writer In the London Pield. These dogs, together with the nearly allied species (C, dukhunensis) -found !n India, fetch a much higher price th than any of e wolves, jackals or Foxes, and, 00 far as the cauidae are concerned, are surpassed in value only by the African hunting dog (Lyeaon pictus).

In many of the latest hats it is noticed that the trimming is placed directly in front. Small round hats or shapes with upturned brims are often trimmed with a high aigrette in the very center, hats which are en- tirely untrimmed except for the' heavily embroidered veil which serves as an adornment are still very popular. Chantilly and metullie laces have, also entered the field of millinery.1 With so much .metallic lace used on dresses, the milliners have seen its possibilities as applied to hats and are using it most successfully combin- ed with satin or velvet. Not infre- quently, there is another addition in theform f fur. Byreason f oo the formality of these materials, these hats are, of course, worn for informal; occasions. To trim sports hats the very newest rthing is worsted or felt motifs repre- senting animals and all sorts of curious designs. These are appliqued to crowns or brims. Chenille in bright colors is also used as a trimming fur hats. These patterns may be obtained from your local McCall dealer or from the McCall Company, '70 Bond Street, Toronto, Ontario. "Dept.

' 1 More than 28,000 people were killed by snakes and wild animals in I3rltislh India last ytar, The Government re- ports show that 1,923 persons were slain by tigers and other beasts, and 26,885 ,perished through being bitten by reptiles, an increase over the pre- vious year of 8,700 deaths met in this ' manner. No figures are available for the native states with their population of some 90,000,000. During the past five years ele- phants, tigers, and other animals have killed 9,192 people in British India, end, of these, tigers have claimed a toll of 3,682. In the same period 110,8'28 persons have died as the result of snake bites. Last year the highest total of deaths due to animals in an one Y province was in Bihar and Orissa, where 184 people lost their lives, tigers alone accounting for 376. In the United Provinces one main -eating tiger in the Almora district killed ten persons out of the provincial total of twenty. In order to effect the destruction of as many wild animals and snakes as possible the Government pays bounties. The number of animals de- stroyed in 1915 was 25,036, including 1,585 tigers, 6,623 leopards, 2,775 bears and 2,191 wolves. The total number of snakes killed. was 184,603. BRITISH ARMY EFFICIENCY, Wasteful Regime Replaced by Sys- tematic Savings Methods. The Paris correspondent of tha London Mail gives an instance of the economical methods which now pre- vail in British army administration in contrast to former more or less careless methods, The British Ord- nance Depot in Paris is effecting a saving of ±'45,000 per month in turn- ing cast-off materials into useful articles. Carloads of soiled, blood-stained and tattered uniforms are received from the front and sorted, cleaned, disinfected e ed and repaired ep r ed by about 140 N.C.O.'s and men of the A.O.D. and 500 women. All blood-stained garments and those too soiled for use fetch as high as $85 a ton as rags. Last summer the staff cleaned and repaired hundreds of thousands of fur undercoats, leather jerkins and sheepskin lined coats for motor car drivers. Blankets washed and mend- ed ran into millions. At Pant5n army gumshoes are re- paired. Two thousand boots a day came in last spring during the wet season for repairing and drying out, and with the use of special drying machinery the work was handler! without congestion. WINTER WEATHER HARD ON LITTLE ONES Our Canadian winters are extreme- ly hard on the health of little ones. The -weather is often so severe that the mother cannot taste the little one out for an airing. The consequence is that baby is confined to overheated, badlyventilated takest ted rooms; cods and becomes cross and peevish. Baby's Own Tablets should be given to keep, the little one healthy. They regulate , the stomach and bowels and prevent or cure colds. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 2a' cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Revision.
