>M 4f'^ •'^. \' (^"^ ^«SS SYNOi-SiS Mr. Chipping, known affection- ately AS "Chips" to the boyt and Masters of BrootiBeid School, ha> been ordered by the doctor to stay at botne because of a cold â€" the first time he has missed the first Evea'ng Acsembly of a new school in 58 years. Cbips disobeys, but finds himself locked out with a new boy, son of the Duke of Dor- set. When Assembly is out the •Idet boys gather affectionately about him. A new m--.ster, Jack- soD, escorts Chips back t3 his lodg- ing where, seated befcre.. the hearth. Chips, now 83, sees him- self as a new master coming to Brookfield 58 years earlier. CHAPTER 11 New Master At Brooktield The Brookfield Special waited at the Victoria Station, London, for its load of boys returning, or going for the first time, to that old institution of learning. News- boys were shouting headlines from the late papers: "Special edition â€" French defeated at Sedan! Speci- al â€" Emperor surrenders! Empress in flight! Specia!l" Amid bustling porters, boys saying goodbye to relatives, stum- bling over their bags, a harassed young schoolmaster, Bingham of Brookfield, was sorting the pupils into their seats in the tvain when a young, diffident man approached him. "Are you Mr. Bingham?" he asked. "Yes." "I'm Chipping, the new master. Can I be oi any assistance?" "Not now â€" just finishing. Mar- tin! Where's Martin!" Chipping yelled for Martin and that was all that he did to help Bingham. He was ill at ease, ua- certain of himself â€" goiflg to his first school as a. master â€" a famous school where he hoped to make a name for himself. Among the new boys was one young fellow who, finding himself alone among a lot of strange boys, leaving home for the first time, sat loo!{ing out of the window trying hard to keep from crying. Chipping knew just how he felt â€" for he was feeling much the same himself. He lowered his newspa- per and smiled. "Cheer up," he said with a faint smile. That diffident encouragement was too much for the boy, and af- ter a final struggle he burst into a flood of tears. Chips, appalled at the result of his attempt tio cheer the youngster, continued: "I'm new, too. It's not easy to begin with." Means Everything To Him The boy flung himself into the corner of the seat and gave vent to a new burst of teaiful grief. Chipping made an uncertain ges- ture towards the boy, and because conscious of a sudden silence among the other boys, looked fur- tively about. "What di dhe do, Oolley? Slap him?" asked a youthful voice. "Kicked him, most likely," was the reply. The new master withdrew be- hind his newspaper. Arrived at Brookfield, Bingham accompanied Chipping to his quar- ters. "I used to have this room. You will find the draft from that win- dow will give you a stiff neck. What ai-' you looking for? Is something feoing on?" Chipping, standing looking out at the window, said in a burst of eager enthusiasm: "Juat as I imagined it! It means everything to me to oome to Brookfield. I suppose you felt the same way. I'll get on. I know I will . . . Headmaster of Brookfield â€" that's something worth working for." "Done any teaching before?" asked Bingham, grinning at his back. Before he could replj, a school porter knocked and told him that LE&QEU5 MITCHELL Da \. c.i.Iierlj, t4-.e HeaUii!a:!:er, would see him. .After thci talk, Weatherby brought Chipping into the matesrs' common room and in irodu^ed him Ij the stafT. "I v>ant you to show Mr. Chip- ping the ropes â€" any lit:le point- ers you Know. Mr. Chipping is takin^j Lower .School t:night. Any time you need to see me ..." The pointers given by his fellow instructors did not serve :o ban- ish young yii: Chipping's nervous- ness at firs; facing a class. "You must not let tiien. rag you," :-aid Masterson. "Take a quiet look around for drav.-ing pins in your chai.'," cau- tioned Dunbar. "Or rat traps in your desk," ad- ded Cooper. The Boys Are Restless ".Are you athletically inclined?" asked Leslie, filling his pipe. ".Not that they ever become violent â€" " "You mustn't take any notice of these fellows," said Masterson. "Tha boys are a bit restless on first night â€" new masters are ex- citing blood sport with them, but MAKE BETTER BREAD WITH ROYAL ^ FINER FLAVORED LIGHTER TEXTURED mORE DIGESTIBLE The bell for class rang, and Chipping made his way to Lower Form. The door was shut and in- side dead silence reigned. Chip- ping opened the door and entered. The room was large and bare, with ta windows. It was lighted by two chandeliers of iron rings with a circle of candles. .As he stepped across the thres- hold, Chipping's mortar-board was whirled from his head by a thread across the doorway and flung to the floor. .Amid stifled giggles came cries of: "Your hat, sir!" "You've dropped your hat!" "Oh, let me, sir!" "No, no, I'll pick it up â€" please, sir." The hat, in.-5tead of being pick- ed up and restored, was kicked out of the reach of each boy stooping to get it, raising the dust OD the wooden floor. "That will do, thank you." pro- tested Chipping. "Kindly sit down. Will you get back to your places, please!" He made grabs for the mortar-board, but always ic was snatched from his out- stretched hand, while, in the name of kindly helpfulness, the youthful ruffians shouted: "Not at all sir." "We're glad to help." "Morgan, give it to me!" "Here it is!" "Do not tread on it, you silly fool!" "Do you hear what 1 say?" de- manded Chipping, his voice get- ting shriller. "Go back to your seats! Sit down! Give it to me!" "I have it, sir!" shouted young Colley, holding it up. "It's a bit battered, sir!" He banged it vio- lently across his knee, while the boys, speaking together, interrupt- ing each other, cried :~ "Y'ou must be more careful, sir!" "Do you lose your hat very often, sir?" "That's a silly ques- tion!" "Isn't it a silly question, sir?" "Awfully dusty," said Colley, still banging the mortar-board "I'll fi.\ it, sir. Won't take a sec- ond, sir!" Colley ran to the blackboard, snatched up the chalk-permeated duster and rubbed the mortar- board vigorously, covering it with white streaks. , The new master snatched the hat. "What's your name?" "Colley, sir." "Go back to your place, Colley. Go back, all of you!" "Yes, sir," virtuously chorused the boys and took their seats qui- etly. "Y'ou will employ this time un- til si-x o'clock," said Chipping, "in vin-iting an essay on the book you 'were given to i"ead during the ho- lidays. I understand this was Kii.gsley's 'Westward Ho!' If you are in any difficulty, I shall be pleased to answer questions." "Oh, thank you, sir!" chorused ' the hypocrites.

"Of course not, you idi;tl" .said a neighbor. •"Who's an id'ot?" demanded the fiisi boy fiercely. "You are, you idiot!" "Silence! Silence! I'll have no more of it!" cried Chipping. "No more silence, .sir?" asked Colley amid general lau<»hter. In a moment another hand was rai.sed. "Wlvj was Queen Eliza- beth's hu.-iband, sir?" | "She didn't have a husband.

"Go on v.i;h your work," ord- ered the new master. Another hand went up. "Sir, who was Cadiz?" "Who w.".s Cadiz?" repeated Chipping. "Who was Cadiz? Ca- diz is a town in Spain." There was another ou'.burst of comments from the boys. "Of cjurse, you ass!" "Isn't he an ass, sir?" "Silly, fat ass!" "Don't lis- ten to him, sir!" "Ha! Ha! May I kick him, sir?" "Quiet, please, quiet I think we'll get on with our work." "Yes, sir." "Let's, sir." In Walks Head Master The climax came when a boy asked how to spell .Armada. A dozen different boys answered, each spelling it a different way, shouting down the others, di\3wn- ing out Chipping's voice ordering silence. Then other boys began repeating his order for silence, making more noise than the oth- ers. Then Colley and another youngster pretended to get into a fight, and soon missiles were hurt- ling back and forth. "Boys, do you hear me? Sit down! Be quiet!" crie<i Chipping, as a piece of India rubber hit him on the cheek. Colley stDsd up in his seat. "Who did that? I'll kill him for you, sir! Trust us, sir!" Into the continuing pandemo- nium strode. Dr. Weatherby, a look of horror on his face. "What is this? What is hap- pening? Mr. Chipping!" (To Be Continued) Apron Pair From Easy Patiern Bv SADIE B. CHAMBERS VARIETY WITH MEATS I am sure all cooks have uttered the same e.\pre«sion .some lime during the year's cooking or pre- paring those thou.sand meals or more, that it is more difficult to provide variety in the meat course than in any other part of routine meals. / Meats with their high protein contents and muscle-building pro- perties should form a place of honor on most menus. It is true in disease, meatless meals are oft- en prescribed, but in health, in a general mixed diet meat does hold an important place. Families tire o fthe same old kind even if they like It. Therefore, when mother presents an attractive meat dish as one of her repertoire she is read- ily voted a good cook.

Style Leadership May Go To States With Collapse of Great French Dressmaking Houses Due to War Scores of American designers will profit by the collapse of the great French dressmaking houses, it is predicted. The World War with its tem- porary break-down of the Paris couture set American designers to work. This present war in Europe will place them permanently on their feet as world leaders of fash- ion for the future. American-Trained Designers Signs reading "Closed for the duration of the war" were posted by all but one or two of the lead- ing dressmakers in Paris last mouth. But in overy important Manhattan shop today are Ameri- can-trained designers engaged in plotting not only fashions but vivid windows in which to display them.

As usual, a large entry is ex- pected from neighbouring Statet and spectators \vill have an oppor- tunity to see some of the best bird dogs on the continent in action. • Spectators Will See Plenty â- Evidence of the growing popu- larity of the Ontario trials is the necessity of limiting the stake for members' shooting dogs to 20 dogs. In all, five trials will be run: Mem- bers' Shooting Dog Stake; Puppy Stake; Derby; Open ail Age and the Ontai'io Championship. The latter is limited to dogs owned in the Province of Ontario. Pheasants are plentiful in the country surrounding Xiagara-on- the-Lake, this year, and the dogs should show at good advantage. Headquarters for the trials will be the Prince of Wales Hotel and all roads will be marked to enable spectators to locate the various events with ease. Fred Jeffries, London, and Don Crawford, Kingsville, will judgoi the events. A rhinoceros can smell a white man at a greater distance than it can a black. KILLS ODORS AS IT CLEANS!
