When lie left the train at the Wav- erly station lie saw her on the platform and she gave him a slight bow, but he understood that their acquaintance ended there, and was content. After lunch he walked along Princess Street and back to the castle. The sky was clear, tlie sun shone ou the old tall houses, and a nipping northeaster blew across the Forth. In spite of its age and modern industry, the town looked strangely clean, and cold. No smoke could hang about it in the nippphvg wind; its prevailing color was granite-grey, The Forth was a streak of ran indigo, and the hills all around were a steely blue. Edinburgh was like no English town; it had an austere half-classical beauty that was peculiar to itself; perhaps Quebec, though different, resembled it most of the all the cities he had seen. Then he remembered lie had Carmen's packet to deliver, and after asking a passer-by took a tram ear that carried him tlirougli the south- cm quarter of lhe town into a wide road, lined l.y well-built stone, houses. Standing in small, neat gardens, they ran back to the open country, with a bold ridge of moors in the distance. Foster got down where he was directed and crossed the road lo one of tlle bouses. They were all much alike and he thought hinted al the character of llieir occupants, ('ne would expect lo find llie people who lived there prosperous citizens with sober, conventional habits. lie wenl up a short, tiled path and rang the bell. A smart maid servant showed liim into a small, morning room, v.lure everything wns very neal, and afler a few moments a man Clinic in. lie was the kind of man Foster had expected lo find in such a house, well dressed, with polite but rather Formal manners, and Foster hrlcflj stated his business. lie tlioughl tiie man looked al llilll sharply, bin il was about four o'clock iii the afternoon anil the lighl was nol good, "Mr. Graham does not live here now; in lefl a week or Iwo ago." In- said, "li.. mhi know him personally'" "N'o," said Foster, "Miss Austin ; sked nn lo give him the packet, bul lhal is all." ���g^Tlicu you know Mr, Austin!'" "In a way." said Foster, smiling. "W'e speak when we meet on the street, but don'l get much further. In fact, Austin's a business rival of mine." The man seemed to ponder for a liiMiin ni or iwo. Then he said, "I gather thai you want to deliver the packet, not lo post il?" "That's so. I don't know if il matters much, but I'd like to put it in Graham's hands." "Very well.

The door of the room was half open and while he waited Somebody entered the house. Steps came along tlie hall, and a girl pushed the door hack, and then slopped, hinking at him in surprise, lie understood this as he saw she was the girl In- had helped into the train, "1 didn't know you were coming here," she said. "Nm did I, iii a sense," Foster answered with a smile. "I mean I didn't know il wns your house." "My name was on the label of llic bag and rather conspicuous." "It would have meant nothing if I had seen ii. Ill facl, I must own 1 don't know it now." The girl looked puzzled, and Foster explained that lie had come with a packet, but had merely been given Graham's name aud llle number of the house, lie added that he had found he must look for lhe man it) Newcastle. "Then yon are a friend of Mr. Austin's? she said. Foster thought it slra-igc that she had not told him she knew Austin when she asked about the Crossing, but he replied; "I'm a tricltd of Miss Austin's." "Ah!" she said thoughtfully, "do you mind explaining what yotl mean by that?" "Perhaps it's hardly worth while, but I can't claim that Austin and 1 are particularly friendly. Our business interests sonieliiues clash." She was silent for a few moments and he wondered why both she and j the man had been curious to know- how far his acquaintance with Austin went. Then she looked up with a quick movement, "Newcastle rot a charming town, and if you have no other reason for going there, it might bc better to post the packet." Foster was somewhat puzzled. She had spoken meaningly, as if she meant to give him a hint. "The trouble is that I promised Miss Austin to deliver it." "You have brought it to Kngland," she persisted. "It will bc safe in the post " She stopped with a glance at the door, and Foster heard a step in the passage. Then she quietly turned to the man who had taken the packet. "I would have missed the train at Hawick but for tllis gentleman's help," she said. "Still, 1 did not know he was coming here until 1 saw him as I passed the door." Thc other, who had looked at her rather sharply, nodded and gave Foster the packet. �� "As there was room enough, I wrote the new address on the cover." Foster thanked him and took his leave, but as the man went before him to the door the girl made a sign. "I'ost it," she whispered and turned hack into the room. Aftrr leaving the . hoysc Foster walked along the road in a thoughtful mood. The girl was apparently the man's daughter or niece. Their relative ages warranted the surmise, and her quick explanation of how- she came to be talking to a stranger indicated that she recognized his authority, while Foster thought she had been disturbed when she beard his step. It was strange that she should urge him lo post the packet, and he would sooner have done so, but it was not a long journey to NewcaStlcXand hcyfiiust keep his promise, 'Nu__^Kc saw a tram car coining and dismissed thc matter. doing back to his hotel, he found there was an evening train and decided to leave by it.

(To Be Continued.) W. N. U. 1205 Wider Implements vs. Tractors In an address at New Brunswick Farmers and Dairymen's convention, Director Grisdalc of the Dominion Experimental Farms expressed the opinion that tractors are not adapted lo use on farms in that province. Instead, be advocated the use of larger horse-power machines with more horses, thus increasing the production with lhe same amount of labor. Larger fields were, he.said, another pressing necessity. The chief trouble with tractors was frequent breakdowns and inability to make the grades. Women have heroine so popular in the trades in London and other cities of Kngland lhat when the war is ovcr the men whose places theyJtavo taken will likely havc lo find other jobs.

Average and Best The Difference Between the General Average Yield and Those Which Are at the Top In no line of agricultural work in Canada is there a greater opportunity to increase production lliail there is in the improvement of dairy herds. The average yield of milk per cow in Canada is only about 4,300 pounds per .-1111111111. Compare that with individual records of ovcr 2.",00tl pounds of milk in a year and herd records averaging ovcr 10,000 pounds for each cow, and the great possibilities for improvement arc at once, apparent. The keeping of herd records, commonly known as "cow testing," is the safest and surest basis for that intelligent breeding and selection which, with proper feeding, results in an improvement iu production that makes the difference between the general everage yield and those wliicli arc at the top. Heard Both Sides "Too bad about Tom and the girl he's engaged to. Neither one of theni is good enough for thc other." "Where did you get that idea?" "I've been talking the matter over with both families." Settlers Are Pouring In Greatest Rush to the West Ever Experienced "Western Canada is experiencing an immigration movement the like of which she has never witnessed before in her history," according to J. Rrtiec Walker, commissioner of immigration at Winnipeg. "lu thc four weeks ending March 2," said Mr. Walker, "ihe numbers of settlers coming into Western Canada was greater by over 200 than in the same weeks of last year. During that period the increase in value of stock and settlers' elTcets coming into the country was $800,0000.' Ai North Portal 1 saw forty carloads of settlers' effects entering Canada. These people were from tho stale of Illinois and wcrc going into Alberla and Saskatchewan. "The demand for land has never been so tremendous. The C.P.R. is selling land, including ready-made farms, throughout tho west, chiefly in Alberta, at the rate of 80,000 acres per month. The Hudson Bay Co. is selling land at the rale of 40,- 000 acres per month, and have kept up that record since August last. I never saw such a splendid class of immigrants come into the' country, and 1 never knew prospects to bo better for lhe country than they arc today. "An evidence of the way tractor* are being brought inlo" the country is instanced by the fact that the Mo- line. Co. brought in thirteen carloads of tractors worlh less than $1,400 each iu the week between March 2 and March ���*."

World's Wheat Outlook Prospects Appear More Favorable Than Ever Before Speaking generally, the southern hemisphere crops promise to be almost more plentiful than ever before. The area already sown with wheat in the United Stales is 165 per cent, of that sown at the same period in 1910. In 1417 an increase of 15 per cent, has taken place in the wheat area I'or England and Wales, as compared with that in 1916, while on the other hand the Canadian area indicates a decrease of 4 per cent, lu France the plentiful snow cover which fell almost throughout the country during December has formed a protection for the young plant against severe frost, and the plant is said In he looking well.

Millions awake each morning in fearful dread of what the day may bring forth, and live each hour with nerves at highest tension. While many are falling under the strain, others have found one means or another of fortifying the nervous system so as to maintain health and vigor. The treatment most widely used is Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, popularly known aa the food cure, because it feeds the exhausted nerves and stores up nerve force and nervous energy. Nothing breaks down the nervous system so quickly ns worry and anxiety, and this is why so many people are suffering from nervous headaches, sciatic and neuralgic pains, nervous indigestion and general failure of the vital organs to properly perform their functions. When you get so nervous that you do not rest and sleep well nights it is time to be alarmed, for it is very much easier to prevent nervous prostration, paralysis and locomotor ataxia than it is to cure these dreaded diseases. After years of testing under the most severe circumstances Dr. Chase's Nerve Food stands in a class by itself as the most successful nerve restorative to be had. This is being proven every _ay by new evidence. Ask your neighbors and friends about it and read the reports in this paper, from time to time, from persons who have been cured.

There is nothing that excels tllis preparation as a worm destroyer, and when its qualities become known in a household no other will be used. Tlie medicine acts by itself, requiring no purgative to assist it, and so thoroughly that nothing more is desired. The system of boy work with horses in the fields has grown to be an inseparable part of country life in America. It is largely responsible for the farmer's ability lo produce foodstuffs in thc past for such low- prices. Tlie cost of producing crops is bound to increase wfi-nevcr any large proportion of this boy labor is displaced by high-priced hired help. This year help is hard to get at any price.

More Armenian Horrors "There is evidence, based on statements by German consuls, and, therefore, hardly likely to bc prejudiced," says a despatch from The Hague to London, "that as the Turkish troops advance to re-occupy Armenia, tlicy arc literally exterminating all the remaining Armenian population at Saostui on thc Black Sea. "Every Armenian male���man, boy or baby���wns put lo the sword, while similar atrocities arc being perpetrated, town by town and village by village. Thc handing ovcr by Russia nf the trans-Caucasian district will simply mean the extermination, at German instigation, or at least with German approval, of the population left behind."

KING & MARKET STS TORONTO ALSO AT VANCOUVER ALLIED AIR RAIDS INTO GERMANY ARE BRINGING THE ENEMY TO TIME SUGGEST THE TIME HAS COME FOR LIMITATION Enemy Air Raids Have Not Been Directed Against Military Objectives, but their Successes Have Always Been Judged By the Loss of Civilian Life Supreme Gallantry A Britisii Captain Who Took Re. vengc on the Huns for Atrocity The full story ot the heroism of n Brilish captain who was sn moved witli haired of lhc Genitalis for crippling his child with a bomb, lhat he attacked and killed eight of Ihem with a club, nnd withstood a sudden German onslaught by his inspiring leadership, has jusl been received. The tale has made the captain's name a byword of gallantry and bravery in the Britis.li camp. Here are the facts: When the Germans delivered their tremendous assault against Mnsni- eres and Marcolng during llieir general offensive ou November thirtieth, those two towns and tlie territory about tin-in were being held by a division of English troops. On the staff of tin; commanding general there was a dashing captain who may be designated as Captain Black for purpose of tliis narrative. Black was a man of long service and much beloved by all the Iroops. lie had been a jovial companion until recently, when, during a German air raid over Kngland, his baby girl was crippled for life by a bomb. Black had become bitter against lhe Germans and had sworn that he would exact full penalty for lhc .airmen's deed. The captain little knew when he turned in on the night of tlie twenty-ninth of November how soon lie would bc able to get his revenge. Next morning the Germans attacked Masnicres in force and the brigade to the right of thc troops holding the town was forced to fall back. The brigade in thc town, however, stood firm and fought the enemy off. Meanwhile waves of Germans had swept by the south of thc town and wcrc swarming westward. Captain Black came out of his headquarters south of Marcoing lo find live Germans already in possession of a great dump nearby. So quickly had the enemy advanced that this was the first intimation _ that they were nearby. Black had in his hand a heavy walking stick which was his only weapon. Without a moment's hesitation hc charget^ the dump alone and beat about him so fiercely that he brained all five opponents before they recovered from the surprise. He had made good his vow, but his work was not finished. Other Germans appeared west of Les Rues Verts, a southern suburb of Masnicres. Black collected all thc signallers, cooks, orderlies and other servants available, and with two companies of regulars delivered an attack towards Rues Vcrtcs. The Germans fell back and fierce hand- to-hand fighting followed. Black led his little army from liouse to bouse and as often as the Germans made a stand hc drove them out, until finally the whole suburb had been cleared with the exception of one machine gun whose crew of eight men kept pumping bullets into the British ranks. As could have been predicted, the opening of thc allied air campaign against Germany���not against the German lines in prance and Belgium, but against Germany itself��� has been promptly followed by suggestions that perhaps the time has now come for a limitation, by consent, of airplane activities. Tliis idea lias been put forward iu lhc Bavarian parliament, where there was wont to be rejoicing at lhc reports of damages to open towns in France and Great Britain by air raids; and is now being urged ill the French chamber by a member of that anti- national group of Socialists who have, to the. extent that they dared, hampered tin- resistance of France to Germany. It is inevitable that sonic pacifist in llie British parliament will forthwith begin to bleat about the wickedness of reprisals and urge some understanding with Germany. The German propaganda is going strong in bolh France and Great Britain; and ils directors find no difficulty in tricking legislators and journalists inlo playing its game. As for lhc German military viewpoint about attacks from tlie. air upon open towns, il is indicated wilh dramatic clearness in a despatch from Paris describing lhe deatli ol Capt. Schoblcr, a Bavarian, who commanded the recent flotilla of Golhas which attacked Paris by night. The Golha carrying the valiant captain came down iu flames near Chateau Thierry, and he was rescued from the machine, though not before he had suffered injuries that proved fatal, The news dispatch goes on lo say: "By order of a general passing in an automobile who bad seen the fall the officer was taken lo a hospital. He was in a hopeless condition. His whole body was covered with severe cuts aud burns. "Although in agony, he pluckily hid his pain. His first request was t li at he should be well cared for. The general replied: "'You are wounded, and a wounded man is sacred among us French. I wish I could feel sure that our wounded were as well treated in Germany.' "Tin- general then questioned thc officer, who said that he carried out tht work assigned him, "'Did you bomb Paris?' asked the general. " 'Then you have killed women and dlHsrCtl,' the general said. " 'Ves,' the German replied. " T had my orders,' the officer answered." The captain had his orders to fly high above the sleeping city and rain bombs upon it, in thc hope that by llic breaking of.the civilian morale, through the slaughter of helpless women and children, some military advantage would ensue. Similar or- I dcrs have been given at intervals throughout the war. Some 1,400 civilians���mostly women and children ���have lost their lives in Kngland from bombs dropped from airships and airplanes. There is no longer even thc hypocritical pretense that these raids are directed against military objectives. Every raid has been judged, as to its success, by the loss of civilian life; and after every killing tliere havc becn screams of joy from all parts of Germany. The reports of the air raids carried out by allied aviators in German territory . shows that they ire directed against stations, airdromes, factories and barracks. These raids are made chiefly in daylight, which makes it possible to control, to some extent, thc dropping'' of the bombs; but there is inevitable incidental destruction of civilian life and property. Moreover, it is being demonstrated, even to the arrogant German authorities, that the allies can now, al will, carry out terrible reprisals upon thc towns along the Rhine, Hence the newly-acquired German inclination���promptly echoed by the defeatist groups in the belligerent nations���to reconsider the propriety under international law, of launching attacks from the air, Germany will, in tliis matter of air-raiding, duplicate her experience with poison gas; she will rue the day when she threw her scruples overboard and gave "orders" to her airmen to carry out a program of (rightfulness against helpless civilians.���Manitoba Free Press.

THE FUNDAMENTAL WAR TRUTHS WHICH SHOULD BE FULLY REALISED BARBARIC PRECEDENTS IN MODERN WARFARE Europe Can Never Recover From the Breaking of the Elementary Laws of Morality and Civilization Unless the Pre-W'ar Moral Code is Restored The Sultan's Treasures Many Hidden Treasures of Immense Value It is believed that in certain vaults at Constantinople there lie many hidden treasures of immense value belonging to the Sultan of Turkey. A throne of beaten gold, adorned with quantities of rubies, pearls, diamonds and emeralds set in mosiac, is perhaps t_nc most dazzling object in thc treasury. Selim the first brought it from Persia early in the sixteenth century. There is a second throne of ebony and sandalwood, encrusted with mother-of- pearl, gold, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Nowhere in the world arc lliere precious stones to compare with thc two great emeralds found here, one of which weighs two kilograms and is as large as a man's hand, and the oilier of wliicli is only a littic smaller. There are diamonds, turquoises, rubies, emeralds, and pearls by tlle half-bushel. Formerly the jewels were kept in drawers but when last seen tiny were in bowls, each of which held two gallons.

KEEP YOUR STOVE BRIGHT Is casv to I use and '���<? will uot / lltU'U Unless we fix firmly in our minds what should surely bc for all sane men the fundamental truths of this war, apparent lo all a short lime ago and still apparent to all wlio have kept iheir heads, men will fail, especially tlie more generous and idealist of them, into a catastrophic mis- judginent wliicli will ruin Europe, It will ruin this country especially, The first truth is that Hie war was made by Prussia. This awful calamity is the direct handicraft of Prussia and of Prussia alone, 'lhc second truth is that tlie barbaric, precedents in modem warfare were created by Prussia, will remain if Prussia survives Unbeaten, and would bc tlie deatli of England. The second fundamental truth iu thc whole affair, which is less often forgotten, but wliicli is slill too much glossed over, is this: Prussia in thc course of this war has gradually dissolved that moral code upon wliicli the culture of Europe reposed and without which Europe can never recover herself. Only her defeat can restore that code, and on lhat code depends the very life of this island more than of any other nation. So true is it that Prussia in breaking these elementary laws of European morality has imperilled the whole of our civilization, that she herself���utterly Unscrupulous as her whole history proves lier to be��� showed hesitation before each new- step downwards. There was always an interval between two succeeding increments of atrocity, nearly always an attempted apology or explanation, There was here exactly what you see in the career of the individual criminal. Things rare in 1871���such as the shooting of hostages���were done wholesale in 1914. Things impossible even to Prussia in 1871���such as thc massacre of neutrals���were done, as a matter of course in 1914. Things such as the use of poison, which any- sane man in lhis country during the first six mouths of thc war would have told you wcrc unthinkable in Kurope, wcrc done by Prussia before twelve months had passed. Things which were quite unthinkable in 1915 wcrc done in 1916���-and so on. The scries lies patent to all. The drama has been enacted before the eyes of all. Nothing but an inexcusable slackness of fibre can explain a forgelfulncss of such a series. The use of poison was unthinkable. It took place. The bombardment of civilians in open towns was unthinkable. It took place. The sinking of merchant ships without warning was still unthinkable. It took place. Even then the sinking of neutral merchant ships without warning was still unthinkable. Prussia proceeded to lhat. Hospital ships were still surely immune we said! So slow is a. civilization���like an individual���to appreciate tbe approach of death. But there came a time when Prussia announced her intention of sinking neutral ships���and she did sink them. There is no end to such a scries. It may pass from such acts to private assassination, to the corruption of the water supplies of great cities, to the calculated spread of epidemic diseases. It is a plain declaration ot moral anarchy in the midst of Europe. With the moral order between nations dissolved London is always at the mercy oi an attack from the air ���at any moment, certainly without declaration of war. The supplies ot this island arc. at the mercy of a similar attack bv the new engines at sea. 11 is true of every European community���it ought to be obviously true, but one must repeat these things���that lacking a certain measure of convention between them all the fabric of Europe is dissolved. Thai is as true of a country of nations as il is true of a community of individuals. That is why wc put the anarchist in society to death. If WO do not destroy him we are at his mercy. Those who tell us that Such action can bc avhided in the future by getting tlie originators of it all to sign their names ou a bit of paper are not worth arguing with. _ Those who tell us that it is unavoidable and that Prussian methods of indiscriminate murder arc unavoidable hold a more formidable position. But it is a position onlv formidable because tlicy have not learnt the main lessons of history. History, which is the object lesson of human psychology, the permanent experience of how the human mind acts, teaches one thing quite clearly It is that an undefeated and unchas- tiscd aggression upon the essential- morals of a civilization is always successful. Any compromise with barbarism, any playing of daue-gclt, any postponement or shirking of the hard duty of warring down the menace, defeats ils own object. It docs not purchase security at the expense of honor. It sacrifices bolh. It is a thing wc could premise fiom what we know of individual character; it is al any rale a thing wliicli stands clearly out from ttic established record of three thousand years. Who first proposes to yield is defeated.���llalairc Belloc in Land and Water. Service Badges Are Explained Government Makes Regulations Clear by Statement The militia department makes the following announcement: As llicrc appears to bc some misapprehension on the subject of war badges, the following points arc emphasized: (1) Class "A" badge is issued to men who have seen service at the front, and lo these only. The design ot Class "A" badge is the same as that originally issued by the Canadian Patriotic Fund. This was decided upon in view of the strong representations that it was desired lo perpetuate this design, as it was already well known and highly valued by tlie soldiers to whom it had been issued. (2) Class "B" badge is actually what is known as the "Imperial silver badge," wliicli is awarded to British soldiers who are honorably discharged as permanently unlit for further service, irrespective ol whether the service was rendered in England or at the front. In the Canadian expeditionary force this silver badge is awarded not only to those who have served at the front (in addition lo Class "A" badge) but to those honorably discharged as unfit for further service after servin ; in England, It will thus bc seen that soldiers who have served at the front ami in England are entitled to two badges, viz., Class "A" badge and Class "B" badge, the. latter, however, not being issued until the soldier has becn honorably discharged on account of old age, wounds or sickness, rendering him permanently unfit for further service. There has been some agitation in favor of issuing Canadian war service badge, Class "A" to men resident in Canada, but who served in the imperial forces, and in this connection it should be noted that this badge is awarded under order in council to Canadian troops only. Those soldiers who serve in the imperial forces are entitled to such badges and other decorations as are provided under proper authority fertile imperial army.
