CHAT 11- R IV. ...-'J '111-. COUNTRY NEWS. Hilary Strangways was .it Silver- lliornc Manor for ilu- Easter vacation, He had just gol inlo the lr.O., and was finding London o reraarl; ably pleasant place. 'J'hc chimney- piece of Iiis sitting-room in '.be liiile flat in Jerinyii Street held a considerable number of invitation cards. Hilary, at presenl, bad not learned to distrust his world, and Had not considered why be should be so murli in demand: else lie might have discov-- cred that lie was run after to some extent because people were i.a.ï¿½ï¿½ing that since Mr. Mcyrick bad not married he was little likely to marry now; so that Hilary was coming more and more to bc accepted as llic heir to SilvcrthornC Manor and thc snug rent-roll that went with it. Hilary might have a very gay lilac in London, but it had not spoilt him. Indeed, he had been popular all his days without getting spoilt, ile bad been a placid yet rowdy and merry ebilil, adored hy the servants and dependents generally; hc bad been an ideal schoolboy, playing tlie [;aiiic always, and with a radiant good humor lhat carried him tlirougli all his scrapes. No one could long resist his liirned-up nose and the appeal oi bis clean, bright face, lie exuded happiness wherever he went, and he was correspondingly loved. At the early .dances which he had attended in the weeks between Christmas and Lent, he bad danced indcfatigably, wilh a delight in the dancing for its own sake; had diffused agrccablcness wherever hc went; had made many a wallflower happy; had pressed many hands, and looked into many eyes with a roguish kindness which prc- (Continucd.) "I should like a little dog; if I got him young enough, he wouldn't quarrel with the pussy. He'd let me know when people wcrc coining. I shall be too hard at work to ke:p looking from behind the curtains.'' Hc remembered the sense he had had while lie wailetl at the door of being observed, of having eyes upon him. "I shall send or bring you a pu.OV. They are Abcrdeens, very faithful to their owner, indifferent to the rest of the world. Don't lct the cat scratch him " "She's a young thing yet. They'll be company for each other. Oh, sir, 1 don't know how to thank you. Your Aberdeen sounds good; faithful to onc; indifferent to all the -est. 1 shall be like a queen." She went with him to the door, remembering that she had not thanked him -for this and that thing. Mis. Brown bad equipped the lodge as for one of tlie reduced ladies, putting into the cupboards and the pantry all that would be needed. The coal cellar was stocked. She had plenty of everything to go on with. Presently lhe would find her own supplies. "What's out there, sir?" she asked of thc Stpiire, indicating tbe high wall, with the cluvaux dc disc of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½harp glass a lop. "Thc villageï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-Silverdale." "1 thought il was a village by the noise. It made mc (eel happy lo hear itï¿½ï¿½ï¿½with lhc wall between. The Squire frowned upwards disapprovingly. "li is rathe, a wicked wall," he laid, "I .'in not responsible for 't. I bate that glpss. It was there before my time, Silverdale boys were fond of apples, like Other boys. Vi the wav, I was nboul to have a wic- k.i niad.' In tin' wall, Vou could keep it linked if you liked. 11 would br io much easier for your -hopping and so much less lonely." "Oh, for heaven's sake, sir, no wicket," she said. "It would spoil everything. I love lhal 'wall." Thc Squire laughed at llic intensity of the speech. There was something about ihc womanï¿½ï¿½ï¿½something pleasant which made l.i ill forget tlle scarred face when be was not looking at il. She had femininity, the thing, lacking which, many a pretty woman is no more than a scentless flower, without honey for the bees. "Very well, then," he said; "there shall hc no wicket, You will have to go nearly a mile to the lodge-gates, kcepine along ihe shrubbery path by thc wall, There is a little* shop close by llie lodge gates, Mrs. Chitty's. She can supply you with most Ihings you will waul, without going to the village." "Oil, thank you, sir.

Altogether Hilary was thc good guest to many a hostess in trouble about hor dancing men. Thc season was likely to alTortl him more gaieties than he would know what to do wilh; for he found it difficult to say "No" lo au invitation from a woman. lie came back to Silverlhorne, as lie had conic back lo it from Eton for all tfiose happy summer vacations. He bad been lhc Squire's own boy since he was tighl years old; when his parents, who had sent him home from India three years previously, hail been drowned by lhe bursting oft a dam, which had elided everything for tlicin at the moment when they wcrc gelling ready for lhe visit home lo which they had been looking forward with a passionate anticipation, Like the Eton boy, Hilary hail been all round lhc house and llie gardens before he was many hours at home. He had talked with everyoneï¿½ï¿½ï¿½kissed Mrs, Brown while he reminded her of various misdeeds ol bis boyhood; whisked Caroline, the cook, who was gelling very shorl of breath and rather cranky, iulo a wild dance round the kitchen; picked thc best camellia in the hothouses for his bul- ton-hole, while oltl Siilton, lhe head gardener, who though! Silverlhorne gardens antl all they possessed his exclusive properly, smiled sourly, yet smiled. The house was always different when Hilary came home. He was incorrigibly boyish aiul school-boyish. Vhilc Hilary was away, life seemed somewhat suspended at the Manor House. The Sriuirc had all the occupations of a country gentle-' man. Hc sat on various boards mil benches, Hc was a churchwarden, lie shot and hunted, and did the other things oilier men of his class did, even if he did them somewhat languidly to his inner consciousness. From bis long devotion lo a rick mother he had learnt a way of going through life soft-foot. And the companionship of a gentle litlle ghost like Mary Champncys, with her spiritual eyes, ber cloudy hair, iier wistful smile, told for quietness. Wherefore the servants were wont to complain that you never could lell whether the master was in lhc house or out of it; Brady, the Irish groom, would say from time lo lime tl-ot he'd give anything if ihe master'd cursed him now and again as the old Colonel used to do at home in Mayo; and the Irish horse, he felt sure, was as lonesome as himself for a bit of strong talking to. Hilary had beard all about lhe accident in detail, and about Mrs. Bartlett and hc.r occupation of the old lodge. Hc was insatiable for nn>s of everybody. When it came to the Southsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Margaret had not answered his last letter, hc complained ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the Squire's brows took a line of pain and bewilderment. After a lull the talk about Lady South had broken, out again, and worse than before. Tl.e strange gentleman, Mr. Langton, if I lhat was his name, had reappeared on lhe scene, not staying this time, bul coming for a few hours at a time, lie and Lady South had been r.ecn together, walking and talking in 'ittle- frcqucntcd places, with Margaret somewhere not very far off, keepi' u guard. There were so few strangers at Silverdale that everyone was agog to know all about one when he appeared. Lady South's visitor was a person not to be forgotten once seenï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ tall and dark, clean-shaven, distinguished, with a somewhat worn, handsome face. The Squire hati come upon him and Lady Soulh once in the woods, and she bad introduced him nervously; there bail been a perceptible pause before the name, They bad spoken a few words, and llie Squire had gone on, leaving the two silling on the seat ;by thc pond, in tht damp of thc winter day, Lady South's delicate skirts trailing in the sudden leaves and wet grass. She ..ad looked miserable, poor thing, with blue shadows about her lips, he eyes bright and feverish, a liccli.. spot in her cheek that spoke of pain. They hail been debating something eagerly when lhe Stpiire appeared, lhc man apparently pleading, llic woman looking down immovable a! lhe dead leaves under her pretty shoes. The Squire was almost certain _s he moved away that Margaret eluded him, gliding quickly down a gamekeeper's path through the thick undergrowth. He might have becn sure If he had wished; bul he had not wished; he had walked away wilh a trouble in his heart. Was the poor thing being pushed ovcr thc precipice by.thc brutality of her wicked old htfsband? and was?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ah, no, it wis beyond thinking that Lady South could involve her young daughter in anything questionable. When lie thought of Margar.et's clear eyes be said lo himself that no matter how things looked, he must believe that there was a sufficient and an innocent explanation. (To Bc Continued.)

Profits of London Hotels A hint of the vast expenditure of money in London al this lime is given by the annual financial statement of the Strand antl the Regents Palace hotels, two quite ordinary English hostels, by the way. The statement goes on to show that the net profit for thc year for the two was no less than $450,000, and that a dividend of seven per cent, was paid on the preference shares and eleven per cent, on the common. If any Canadian hotels are doing this sort of a land office business, we would like to hear from them. As there are unnumbered thousands of Canadian women hanging around London, it is safe to say that Canadians havc contributed a goodly share of these profits, and incidentally eaten up a good many tons of precious food.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Toronto Saturday Night.

Grape-Nuts is a concentrated health-food made from choice whole wheat and malted barley. It retains the vilal mineral elements of the grain so essential to thorough nourishment of body and brain, but lacking in many other cereal foods. Every table should have its daily ration of Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason' No change in price, quality, or size of package w. N. U. 1143 Keeping Account A Little Figuring Will Usually Pay Big Dividends It has been said that if lead pencils were uncommon things there would be golden opportunities for slick-tongucd salesmen to sell them at a substantial profit on the strcnRlh of the amount of money which could be saved by their use. This was never more true than it is today when everything is so high in price. A lead pencil judiciously used will show which crops last year returned the most for the labor put upon them. Such information would bc valuable iu planning this year's work. Lead pencils have been known to save years of time which was being spent in,milking unprofitable cows. A little figuring mighi show where the purchase, of a new machine would morc than save its cost in time saved during the rush of a busy season. Before lho lead pencil idea is capitalized why not start of your own accord to ascertain just how things arc going aud where savings of lime and money could bc made?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½The Practical Farmer.

And Belgium, Quaker among nations, adopted lhis doctrine, dedicating herself and being dedicated to perpetual peace. She was to assail no one and never to bc assailed. She was Irue to her high faith, yet she is lhc most devastated and desolated of nations, her women .outraged, her men led inlo slavery, Iter churches and art monuments levelled, her nourishing industries destroyed.

Hoilowness of Materialism Rudyard Kipling on the Relative Advantages of Money Making and Other Pursuits When Rudyard Kipling visited McGill University a few years ago, he chose as thc theme of his address to the student body thc hoilowness of materialism, Kipling warned the young men of McGill against the pursuit of money as an all-absorbing occupation in life. The fact that Kipling chose this subject is evidence worthy of note of the importance to the nation of the ideals conceived at college by its active-minded young men, those who arc destined for a certain moral and intellectual leadership.

By reason of his early unsuccessful adventures in the Near East, l'e gathered invaluable knowledge in the matter of organization and equip- \nmenl which he has this year applied | in other quarters. As a result of the failure of his troops in the West in lhc spring and autumn of 1915, to attain their desired objective, hc made certain changes in personnel, vastly improved his organization behind the lines, and above all learned that thc only way seriously to dent lhc German front was with a preponderating supply of shot and shell. He lost Bulgaria to the. allied cause, but the experience he acquired in that process enabled him to gather in Rumania. Jusl now, by thc foi- tune of war, Rumania appears to be a doubtful military asset, if not a liability; but at the* time unquestionably the enlistment of this country with the allies was a diplomatic stroke of first importance. Early in 1916 he adopted conscription. Had it been introduced a year before, the war might have been over today. Englishmen have, responded in unprecedented fashion to their King and country's call under the voluntary system, but it was only the certainty etf ultimate conscription that finally brought the enrolment up to five million men. The inoleling of lhis huge lump of human raw material into an efficient military machine has been a gigantic i quipment has lui-nl a gun, a shell now arc turning out lask, bul ils propi i been a greater, Little less than miraculous lias been tin- development of the munitions industry in ihis country during the lasl year. From tin stars Britain has Iii-i-ii lln in asurj of the allies; now it has become their armory, When Mr, Lloyd ajcorgc began turn, ing I'm eland's factorii * Into arsenals, these Germans were manufacturing and shooting aboul ten slu lis to tne allies' one. There was a tiiiit- when on certain sections of the bailie line Hriiish gunners were limited to four rounds per day. Upon America and Japan Britain was depending for the most part of its supplies iif machine guns, hoavj artillery and high explosives, Now these conditions arc all reversed. More than -1,1)1)0 private linns in England, 95 per cent, of] 'min before- llle war had never pro- i- a cartridge, ^^^^^^^ munitions of i.nc sort or another, Just after the Munitions Act waSj passed, .Mr. Lloyd George startled' the counlry by announcing that eleven new government arsenals had bt-irii provided for. Today Ihen. arc more than ninety, mosl of them producing big guns, howitzers or high explosives. The weekly oulpiil. of shell cartridges is now greater by millions than England's entire annual output before thc war. A nm type of machine-gun is being turned out by the hundred every week in one factory buill in lhc last yt nr. Thc general output of heavy artillery has increased by several hundred per cent. The lotal number of war workers has increased to nearly four million, of whom hall" a million ate women. Practically the whole of England's vast industrial resources, except 1 Ihosc necessary for the supply of the | civil population, have becn mobilized for war purposes. Every factory in {hejsfnd, if called upon, is required to devote at least pari of its activities to turning out war material. The proportion of munitions now fui- nished by America and Japan has become almost negligible. Moreover, England is not merely supplying lier own big armies. She has had to help out Russia, France and Italy, especially tlle first-iian.eil. It has been largely due to English guns and English shells that the Russians have been able to put lhe Germans on the defensive. Large quantities of English munitions wcie sent also lo Rumania, anfel the Serbian army would doubtless still he fighting for Mouaslir had it not heen thoroughly rc-cquipped by Great Britain, Giving all due credit to the allied strategy in general and lo Gen. Haig's military genius in particular, as well as to the admitted improvement of Tommy as a fighting proposition, and the present superiority ol the Hriiish air service, there is, after all, only one answer for the recent successes along tht: Somme antl the Ancreï¿½ï¿½ï¿½munitions.

His appeal, which is addressed to "the man on the land," is as follows: "For two years and a half, war, red and ruinous, has raged through the world, and slill no decision has been reached, 'There is reason lo hope that before 19)7 closes llu: struggle fur liberty will have been won oi be greatly advanced. Ami.', the varying phases of this titanic conflict tin: fact stands out more clearly llian over thai agriculture is of supreme importance.

Tin: Kaiser tells tin- German people lhat liny have been "victorious in all theatres of war on land and sea." Tlie campaign in Rumania is described as "our recent triumphal march."

France will die first. Assuming that there.- i.-. aa honest desire for peace iu Germany, uo progress will hc made until the Kaiser and the responsible statesmen of Germany begin to talk tlie language of peace and stop talking the language of conquest, No nation can hr- g itself into victory.

Balked of Inr. purpose, she now covets a permanent fouthold beyond her old eastern boundaries. She is willing to have tin- world regard the war as a drawn game, because she knows that hy trading her western gains for new influence on the eastern front her Pan-German scheme of dominion over thc vast territories between the North Sea ami the Persian Gulf will be enorniouslv strengihcn- t.l. It i* a shrewd plot, but it will fail. The Entente nations arc pledged to a very different programme. ihey have solemnly promised Constantinople to Russia, and they intend that Rumania, Serbia and Mnntcnttrro shall hc sei free. Their determination is unalterable; they will not end the struggle until the menace of Prussian militarism, both East and West, has been destroyed.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Providence Journal. .
