he reasoned indignantly.
On one course of action he -was de-
termined. As soon as he returned
home he would go to Helen and have
it out with her. If she wished to aarry
to such absurd lengthe her unreason-
able pique at his perfectly reasonable
suggestion, he wanted to; know it at
once, 'and not live along this way!.
Under these circumstances it is not
strange, perhaps, that the trip, for
Burke, nrae not an unalloyed joy; and
the delays, in addition to giving him
no little anxiety for his father, fretted
him almost beyond endurance. a

upturned bottle of ink. Besides suf-
fering the reflection of AV/effect Ian
his sone in that son's moodiness and
frequent lack of enthusiasm, he had
no small amount of it on his own ac-
count.
Burke's 'word-piceure of that even-
ing's catastrophe laid -been a vivid one;
and John Denby could not forget it.
He realized that •it meant much in
many ways. Thafact that it had been
followed by Helen's ominous silence
did not lessen his uneasy question-
ing* He wondered if, after all, he
had done the wise thing in bringing
about this temporary 'separation. He
still believed, in his butt, that he had.
But he did not seem to find much
happiness'in that belief. In spite of
his supreme joy and content in 'his
son's companionship, he found him-
self many a time almost wishing the
trip were over. And the delays at the
end were fully as great a source of
annoyance to himself as they WOVO to

fore, heaved a long eigh of relief as

SUDANS SWORD FOR KING.
Son of the MadhI at Impressive Cere.
• mona in. London.
A gold sword, a legendary weapon
supposed to have been sent down
from Heaven and surrendered only
.a token of submission, was pre-
sented to the Ring at Buckingham
Palace recently by Sayed Abdel Rah-
man el Maahi, the eon of the late
Mandi (whose troops killed Gordon)
on behalf of a apecial Sudanese mis-
sion.
In piiabating the sword he said:
"The sword of victory, which was be-
queathed to my father, I give as
sure token of My fealty and submis-
sion to your exalted throne."
Accepting the sword and then re-
turning it, the Kiug replted: "As a
proof of .your fealty to me, I take the
sword and hand it to you .and your
heirs to hold on my behalf in the de-
fence of my throne and Empire, and
as a proof ot my acceptance of the
loyal submission. of you mid your fol-
lowers."
Sir Sayed Ali el Mitgliani, a des-
cendant of the Prephet, who headed
the mission, in a loyal address re-
marked that in the days of the past
wars enly .elecided the . fate of belli-
gerent nations, -but this war was to
decide the future of all weak rations,
among which was -the Sudan.
The Ring,, replying, said: "The
part played by the Sudan during the
war ander the able direction of Sir
Reginald Wingate and Sir Lee Stack
has been very noteworthy. In no
quarter eXcepf Darfur, which has not
been directlY administered by the
Sudan Government, was there any
distarbance, and the behavior ot the
whole population Was one of com-
plete 'loyalty."

Why Glow -Worms glow.
A glow-svorm is a kind of beetle
which may be found in the y'arcis and
hedges in the summer time, Tha name
only applies to the female of the spe-
cies, Which is wingless and whose
body resembles that Of a caterpillar
somewhat, and emits a shining green
lightfrom the end of the abdomen.
The male of this species has wings,
but does not show any light, as does
the female, and resembles an ordin-
ary beetle. The' male files about in
the evenings looking for the female,
and she makes het light /low in order
that the inale may find her. ',Glow-
worms are found mostly in England.
There are, however, some -members of
the same species of beetle common to
North America. We speak ot them
as fireflies or lightning bugs, The fe-
male of these also ie the only one car-
rying a light, although, unlike the
glow-worm, she has wings and can fly.

Thereupon the lad produced 0, letter

Britain, yours is the birthright
Of fog and gale and sea!
Never the flowing tide outruns
The roach of your destiny.
Yet from year 0051111 mother
Likewise came my stock!
Drake and Raleigh within ine
Led me to Plymouth Rock!
What if my planet rises
Here in the West, apart?
Mine is year Celtic vision, ,
Mine is your Saxon heart!
Came the hour of your peril!
God, how you leapt and defied
Hate that poisoned the roadways,
Death that hid in the tide!
Strained my ships at their moorings!
Bose ray admiral's cry:
"Send us to fight by our brothers!
Send—or our souls will die!”
Then were our squadrons wedded!
There in the spume and' mist
Crushing the cmmon danger!
Pleagaig the deathless tryst!
This 1 our law, 0 Britain—
What we have joined shall be
Bleat on the face of the waters
Till God shall dry the sea!
Whither our mandates lead us,
Whither our keels may run,

A world apart—are one!
Film Faces.

Men's faces., except for the broadest
.farce, notaseem to roman to be
made of indiarubber, capable of tying
Ole features in a knot, but there are
undoubtedly types of face which seem
to go with certain types "of acting.
The Western face Is a type apart.
It is the cowboy visage, with long,
-rakish features, narrow, steely oyes,
which glint like the eyes of a tiger
when things are in 0 perilous condi-
tion, but which can nal° divinely
when the heroine begins to show she
is in love with them or when a little
child prances on to the screen.
Then, of course, there are tho stuck
Sleet -lock Holmes features, which ere
a sine mut non for the sleuth -hound
who tracks the thugs to their lair. A
jolly, fat face seems always popular
on the olms, seeing that several 111011
