Two little figures came flying across the field; they stooped suddenly as they reached the big stack, and -.- be- gaii to burrow into the hay. "Quick, Ruçi!" Roy panted. "This will be a great place to hide in." There had been a quaiy^l; Roy and Ruth were on one side, and Roy's cousins, Harry and Nell, were on the other. They worked away like eager little moles, and before long they had dug a large, warm, hollow place, into which they crept, laughing softly. "There!" Roy whispered, as N he pull-, ed in his foot and dragged down a light curtain of hay to hide the opening. opening. "They'll never find us here!" "Never in the world," Ruth agreed. "Isn't it soft and sweet-smelly back here? I suppose they're searching the farm for us. Harry is running one way and Nell the other." For a long time they sat still and talked in whispers. • It was like being in a warm, yellow-brown tent--cosy, yet not too dark and close, for plenty of light and air came through the wall of hay; they even grew drowsy. "Funny we don't hear, them calling," calling," Roy murmured sleepily, after a while. Then he sat up straight, all at once. "What's that queer stirring sort of sound?" he said. They both held their breath and listened. listened. Sure enough, it 1 was a queer noise--a kind of soft, slow rustle at the other side of the stack. Ruth clutched Roy and they both listened. "I'm a little bit scared," she whispered. whispered. '"Pshaw!" he answered. "What | about ? Probably it's a cow eating j the hay." They did not move, and the noise went on. "It must be two cows," Ruth decided. decided. "Hear how they bustle and rustle." Something certainly did bustle and rustle, and every now and then the two listeners caught an odd murmuring. murmuring. Oncë there came a cough and a sneeze. "Dog," Roy decided. "The dust tickles him." "Do dogs sneeze ?" Ruth asked doubtfully. "Ooo-oo, Roy, I wish we hadn't hidden." Her voice was a little little frightened quaver. A long silence followed. They could* hear nothing nothing at all now except the wind in the hay. All at once there came another sharp sneeze. Roy could stand it no longer. "Look here, Ruth," he said, "let's find out îat's on the other side of this hay- No season of the year is so dangerous dangerous to the. life of little* ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrohoea, cholera infantum, dysen- try and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly deadly if not promptly treated.

Most people know that the Canadian Canadian Pacific Railway traverses over eleven thousand miles of country in Canada, encounters even tropical and arctic weathers; cuts its way through the rugged and difficult country along, the shores of Lake Superior; crosses the endless prairies of the west; and finally runs through the glories of the Canadian Rockies where the road in some places has been hewn out of the mountain sides under towering peaks; through great canyons; and in other places tunnels and piral rails have to be negotiated, all necessitating care in operation. Exit in spite of all these difficulties the Canadian Pacific has not killed a single passenger in a train accident during the past two years, which is a record Canada can place against the recent boast of the Pennsylvania Railroad not having killed a passenger in three years. Especially so when it is considered that the latter road has not the same climate conditions to face and the easy country through which it traverses. traverses. Violet Asquith's Fiance Is Not a Man of Title. The engagement of Miss Violet Asquith, Asquith, eldest daughter of the British Prime Minister, to her father's private private secretary, Maurice Bonham-Carter, Bonham-Carter, will raise hopes in the breasts of London dressmakers and the caterers that there will be a big wedding to produce something to remind them of the glories of other summer seasons. Miss Asquith, whose own mother died when she was a little girl, is quiet and retiring by nature, possessing possessing a great deal of the solidarity and dignity of character which mark her father. Her fiance, Mr. Bonham-Carter, Bonham-Carter, comes of an excellent family, established established in the north of England for some generations, and related to that of Miss Florence Nightingale. A great deal of her wealth was bequeathed bequeathed to the Bonham-Carters, Mr. Henry Bonham-Carter, her cousin, having managed. her business for many years. ONE POUND EIFET PRESERVER.

"This state has no bears in it," Roy answered sturdily, and. he began to dig carefully into the hay. Ruth was afraid to run and afraid not to keep close to Roy, and so she dug with him. Slowly but steadily they bored a little tunnel before them. Now and then they, thought they thought they heard again that funny stirring on the other side of the stack, but they did not stop to listen long. They dug on industriously. "It's getting lighter," Roy said after a while. "Now, then, do just as I say, Ruth!" he panted, for he was much excited. "Just make a little peephole in the hay, and when I say 'Zip!' look through. "I'll take care of you."" He gave the signal, and they stared eagerly through the two peepholes. Then they gave a little gasp. "It's people!" Roy cried, -for each looked steadily into another pair of astonished astonished eyes., "It's us!" cried back two familiar voices, and suddenly the rest of the hay wall fell. There they saw Nell and Harry. "I do declare!" said Harry. "We'd wondered and wondered what kind of animal it was that squealed on that side, and we dug and dug!" "So did we," Ruth answered. "Only we heard a sneeze. What made you think of hiding in the hay?" "What made you?" Nell replied. Then all four began to laugh foolishly. foolishly. "What were we quarreling about?" Roy answered. No one could remember, and they laughed together. at their own silliness. silliness. Then they worked busily and piled the golden hay into a stack - again.--Youth's Companion. Many tributes were paid to Sir John French for his brilliant work during the South African war, but could, he ever be induced to confess as much, he would doubtless admit that that which pleased him most was the praise bestowed upon him by the Boers. It has been recorded that when towns or railway stations, were captured our men would find allusions to French chalked on the wall. Thus: "We are not fighting the English-- they don't count; we are only fighting the 'French.' " Quite early in the campaign this inscription was found on the walls of a Boer farmhouse: "Why are we bound to win ? Because ,although we have only 90,000 burghers, that means 90,000 generals. But- the English, though they have 200,000 soldiers, have only one general--and he is French." That was in the days before before Roberts and Kitchener were on the scene. But the Boers were not alone in their appreciation of French. One of the authorities of the German general staff wrote to him: "His (French's) name was one of the most dreaded by the enemy," and "he impressed his personality on the troops." The Boers were, indeed,. according to Mr. Cecil Chisholm, M.A., in his authentic biography of Sir John French (Jenkins), the first to admit The Prime Minister's new son-m- law does not belong to the aristocracy, aristocracy, and therefore can hardly be Fear of the deadly submarine, which seems destined to continue to play its part in a Jong series of sea disasters, has led steamship officials to provide every possible safety device device for their "patrôhs.
