LE { Ca Ce, ORE &% I Pasi MY Welsh Mountain Turned Into Farm One of the most spectacular examples of land reclamation is on the mauntain slopes of Flyn- limmon, Montgomeryshire, it is reported in Cardiff, Wales. Cap- tain Benvett, the owner, has turned the mountain into a farm. In addition, he keeps 4,000 sheep on his 4,000 acres. Where 1oss, rushes and wiry grass grew he now has productive pasture up to 1,600 feet above sea level. Po- tatoes are grown at 1,400 feet, and seed potatoes are to be pro- duced . at an even higher level. Corn and linseed are grown for stock feeding. Drainage is ob- tained by taking the plow down rogey slopes at strategic points, A track-laying tractor was used for reclamation. 7 ORDERS ITALIANS British Gen.

Two -are on the staff of each nursery. - These are the trained "nursery" nurses of the 'future and so that their educa- "tion may continue they go to continuation school one day a week. Here they study domestic science, elementary physics, chem- istry, anatomy. At an English class they not only learn to write stories for children but how to tell them. Country dances and rhythmic exercises help them to keep fit. Two residential nurseries "are open outside the city for the chil- dren of workers on night shifts; six others are for children who are taken home for the weck- end.

N TO THE HILT Percival 'Christopher Wren CHAPTER XXII: The house in the Peshawar Ba- zaar was tall, narrow, and silent; its parapeted roof flat, its few windows permanently shuttered, its door but rarely opened. Its proprietor was -Moussafa = Shah, formerly rissaldar-major of the cavalry regimen' of the Corps of Guides. To Major Bartholomew Hazel rigg, living the life of a Pathan in the name and role of Ghulam Hyder, came Rissaldar-Major Mous- safa Shah. i » "One comes, Sahib, he sald. "One Gul Mahommed." "Bring him." Hazelrigg rcse to his feet as a big Pathan stepped from the sha- dows into the bright moonlight. "Wendover!" he said, "I' can hardly Believe it . . . This is an answer to prayer--not yet prayed. Still, wishes are prayers. Thank iod, anyway. Sit down and don't talk so much. Have a cheroot. I've got some Lotuses here, in pretly good condition." "A-a-a-h! One of the things 1 miss . , . thanks . . . Gad, that's good!" sighed Wendover, leaning "back on the cushioned mattress and relaxing. "City seems pretty quiet," he said. "Yes, pretty peaceful---under the surface. Border quiet, too,' replied Hazelrige, ! "Won't be for. long, though," salt Wendover. "No? Where's trouble coming next?" "Khairastan." ! "What--the* Road? 1 thought the cold Khan had seen the light--that shines on the Sirkar's silver ru- pees." oo "Yes. He had." replied Wend- over. "Sces a brighter light now. Paradise, That's what T came to talk to you about," hecause the new man regards the Road as the ~Scots preacher rezarddd Sin. He's against it. And he has got all the young men of the Tribe with him, ~and most of the elders too. There's a very clever man indeed behind it, and a mighty powerful force behind him. Quite a weighty per- son." | "Weight of ttonist rupees--from side of the Border?" "No, weight of roubles from the other side. He's an old friend of miné--though he doesn't know it. An old pupil, in fact. And now the role is reversed. I used to teach him Pushtu and" Hindustani, and now he's teaching me Bolshevism, Communism, Terrorism, Agitation and the science and art of the Fomentation of Trouble and War- fare. He has corrupted me utter- ly. Turned me from a peaceful in- terrorist -and sedi- the Indian habitant of Khairastan and mem- ' ber of the Party of Law and Or- der into a bitterly anti-British agi- tator and firebrand. Corrupted Shere Khan too, and all his clan." "And so this clever man, this weighty person who's an old «friend of yours though he doesn't know it, an old pupil in fact, is attacking. And he's In your part of the Border, and his name is Bailitzin." Hazelrigg sprang to his feet, "Comrade Colonel Bailitzin," he whispered. "I understand every- thing now. He's the gentleman who writes notes In Russlan--and in 'my name . .. and you actually know where he 1s." "Let me tell you my end of the story--to the time when Vere Vaughan and the outlaw band got into the fort. Then you can carry on. I was on the track of a very bad lad known as the Fakir or Ipi. I had heard that he was week- ending with the Hadji of Turang- zal, so Shere Khan and I went along and joined the party. "Well, news suddenly came of the disaster to the flight stationed "atthe "hew "Hunzana Fort aero- | drome. According to" the account tive 'planes had crashed in a fog among the mountains and one had been shot at by the Singing Hadfi's people and had actually come 'down at Kurnai, the pilot having been mortally wounded and the observer had been captured -alive and unhurt and was now in thé hands of the Malik'of Kurpal, who rather proposed-to keep him there. "With profuse, apologies to our host we cut short our visit at Turangzal, I went very unosten- tatiously to Kurnai by roundabout tracks over 'the mountains, giving Sufed Kot Fort as wide a berth as possible, I discovered that young Vere-Vaughan was alive and well but was a bone of contention --a hone that was likely to be .Dlcked pretty--clean, There ~ were two parties in the lively city of Kurnal, one of which was for doing its plain religious duty and hand- ling the Infidel over to its spirit ual overlord, the Singing Hadj, for treatment, and the other was for keeping him for ransom. "This parly wanted to run him along to the nearest Fort, Giltraza of course," and hand him over C.0.D. or part ¢ash and three months bill of exchange. And Into the middle of this squabble who should stroll but--" + "Comrade Ballitzin," murmured Ganesh Hazelrlgg. "Exactly, The first thing was to rescue young Vere-Vaughan. So, far from introducing myself to the Comrade and inviting him to 'come outside," I avoided him like the" Devil. "Shere Khan and the expansive Wali Dad, learned: all about "everything that was going on, and put ideas into his head. So that when the plot for capturing Giltraza Fort was all nicely cut and dried, I, the out- law Gul Mahommed, and Shere Khan his brother, offered to join the party that was going to march into Giltraza Fort, Wali Dad men- tioned this to the Committee and - guaranteed vs .as stout %citizens, old friends of his. "And so we joined And my next effort was to get into personal touch with young Vere-Vaughan who was evidently keeping his end up splendidly. But I never got a chance of so much as winking at him. "Naturally Bailitzin had some deep game of his own. I'd have given almost anything to have five minutes alone with Vere-Vaughan, for I was worried. I was playing I cultivated my own game against Bailitzin, and to some extent playing it blindfold. His game was to get Giltraza Fort by introducing in- slde its walls a force big enough to capture it if they could sud- denly take the garrison by sur- prise in the middle of the night. "My. game was to allow Bailit- zin's to go just as far as I wanted it to,.and no further. I, of course, wanted to get the said party -- all'men with prices on their heads, and absolutely "our most danger- ous enemies--inside the fort, there to be caught like rats In'a 'trap. "I still had an occasional qualh and uncomfortable feeling 'when 1 thought of Bailitzin.y "Well, "when - everything was settled, the gang waited for the first dark night and when it came, Wali Dad went in and fetched Vere-Vaughan, Everyone else in the place except the Sonsplaidfy, | was asleep. Wali Dad took so "Pathan. kit "into VereA'aughan's cell and a, few minutes later brought hiny out. That was simple enough, of 'course, 'because Wali Dad was his jailer and respons- ible- for him, and could come and go as he liked. B "Well, they led Vere-Vaughan out of the village to rest-.of us were--waiting, -and we got away without a sound. We weren't molested that night and by daylight wer¢ well away from Kurnal. It was a bitter disappoint- ment to pe, when I made my way up to the front of the caravan and then let them all pass me again, to find that Bailitzin was not with us. "Well, man proposes! And God disposed--a stone, on the edge of a narrow path as we crossed the Kara Koh Mountains. It was loose, fell as I-stepped on it, and I went with it. Sudden as a thunder- clap. . . x "And the next thing 1 knew was that T was lying on my back in a cave, with Shere Khan smacking my face with the wet end of hiz turban and calling impartially up- on me, the Devil and Allah to do something. I found later that the earth was eroded from under the stoné on which I had trodden, so that it was overhanging; ne the band, * where the ° had fallen "about thirty feet, and _ hounced oft the sloping side of the mountain _and landed all of a heap on a wide ledge of stone.

E Post Overseas Christmas Mail By November 1 Faced with the task of moving more Christmas mail to more 'Canadians in more corners of the world than ever before, the Post- office Department announced last weck the deadline for parcel Parcels mailed by that date-- unless there is a mad rush at the last moment--will be delivered to Canadians in Sicily, Italy, Cey- lon, North Africa; the: United Kingdom, the Aleutians, the West Indies or wherever else Cana- dians may be. The mailing deadline is set 10 dyas earlier than in 1942. Officials said Christmas mail- ings overseas lagt yar amount- ed to 8,600,000 pounds compared. with 5,600,000 pounds in the pre- vious year. This year, with more overseas, they anticipate a total mail load of about 10,000,000 pounds. "We are suggesting that Canh- dians planning to get Christmas 'mail to their friends overseas get started as soon as possible," one official eaid. . "It is far better that a parcel be mailed in September or Octo-' ber with the assurance that it will be delivered in time -- barring accidents beyond any control -- than-that the men overseas should be disappointed at Christmas by not receiving the expected gifts from home."
