Coating trees with mica axle grease is one sure way of keeping rabbits shy of trees. It is also wise to keep a-few shells for shotgun or rifle on hand to keep rabbits at a minimum in winter. A well trained dog will prove useful. A rabbit-proof chicken wire fence; ¢ v 0 from fj¥&~Lo six feet hjeh, is the safesp/way o protecting trees where 'Hienumber of trees to he protected will per "mit thissmethod. .=ZTo reduce damage by mice, planters should arrange to set out in suitable containers, poisoned "baits, access to which can, only be obtained by mice. Grain treated- With Gophercide, or other recog nized poison, on a shallow (ray from six to twelve inches square, with a large shallow box, slotted, to allow the mice to enter, is one way to guard against this pest." Damage to dormant trees In winter by rubbing of grain boxes or cattle may caslly destroy one or two seasons growth, and can be avoided by erecting fences about shelter belts. If. there is likely | to be much free water about trees in the spring this should be drain- ed away, as few trees succeed well in waterlogged soil. 40 Nazi Attacks On Hospital Ships In the past four years, Axls sub- _ marine and warplanes' have made more. than 40 attacks on Allled hospital ships, severely damaging or sinking many of them, although they Were painted = white and marked with large red crosses In accordance with the: (Geneva Con- vention.

"SALAD TEA T0 THE HILT Percival. Online Wren HALA CHAPTER XXVI1 That night as Major Richard Wendover of Napler's Horse sat on the sfde of his bed in Mr, Dodd's spare: bedroom, and yawning, wound up his watch, there came a light tapping at the open win- dow. Co The eyes of Major Richard Wendover raised towards the win- dow became those of Gul Mahom- med as, dropping to the floor, he _ inquired In Pashtu and a harsh whisper: "Who's there?" . "It is {, Dost Mahommed, broth: er of Shere Khan," was the reply. "Salaam, Dost Mahommed," he said. "Whta's the matter?" "Sahib, my brother Shere Khan --the police have got him." "The police? What for?" "A killing, Sahib. He has slain .a man." "Where is he?" "At the police thana in the Sud: der Bazaar. The police cannot get him. to Peshawar jail because -ot tho mob, but soldiers will soon. come and take him. He'll be hang: ed for murder, Sahib." v "Whom did he kill?" "A Powindah. He was bargain: ing with_the man for a silk shawl, and they got angry. Suddenly the borah or bunnia, or whatever he was, snatched the shawl from Shere- Khan's haids, called him an evil name, thrust him over the step of the shop and "spat upon him. So Shere Khan killed him, of. course," " "Of course," agreed Wendover, and climbed out of the window. * * * And by devious ways known only to the Border riever, the ont- law, the brigand and the raider, Wendover and Shere Khan, with a band of Khairastan men who -were Shere Khan's retainers and: bodyguard, = came roundabout to Khairabad, eventually approaching the fort from the north. "Huzoor! Gul Mahommed! Awake and arise", shouted Shere" Khan's great. voice a few days later at the door of the room that Wendover now occupied in the big Fort of Khairabad, "Great news. Listen. They've got-him, and they are bringing hin along. Seized him yesterday evening .between "Kurnai and our- Border. Young Dost Mahommed rode swiftly ahead to tell the good news." Wendover sprang out of bed. "RBailitzin!" he whispered. yer "Bailitzin," grinned Shere Khan:- "What shall we do with him? Whip him to. death with a nagaika, or feed him, feet first, slowly into the fire? Or what about a cauldron of hoiling fat?" "You leave him to me," growled "Wendover. "Beshak, Huzoor. He Is _your man, for you to kill as you please." * . * Removing bolts -and bars from the outside of the room in which Bailitzin was Imprisoned, Richard- Wendover flung open the door and strode in, followed by Shere Khan, who bore In his right hand a heavy whip. ISSUE No. 42--43 i Cc "Well, Bailitzin,"" said over, "so we meet again." "Yes. Your turn now, Renegade, Your turn for the mo- ment. What is it going to cost me to get away?" Wend- *I don't 'know, Comrade "Bail- itzin. That remains to be seen, | but 'I think it will cost yéu your lite." . - "Look here, my good ex-British officer, let's talk sense and talk - business, shall we? Your treacher- ous blackguards turned on me Jast™ night, and here 1 am. Well, [ made a mistake at Kurnal, apd I'm ready to pay for jt." "You wlll, Ballitzin," replied Wendover, eyeing the Russian grimly. Turning to Shere Khan, Wend- over took the terrible whip from his hand. "Not a nagalka, perhaps, in its different way, as -. good as a Russian knout. And now, strip to the walst," he added in a voice that cut like a whip. ""Wendover, 1 can make you a rich man, I can--" "Shere - Khan!" over his shoulder. ; And Bailitzin threw off his Pathdin coat, gold sald Wendover shirt. "IKncel down," growled Wend- over, "before -I- knock you down and put my foot on your neck." Bailitzin- 'obeyed, and Shere Khan stepped forward with great clutching hands. "A-h-h-h!" breathed Wendover. "That's better, .Bailitzin. That's what I wanted. Wanted, night and day, since I crouched in the filth of your cell at Tashkent and was whipped like a dog. Now: then, You're a Russian, aren't you?" "You know I am." "Yes, and I'm an. Englishman. You know I am. And if you don't, you' can know It by this," and he threw the Whip away from him. "We don't flog captives. Get 'up. Put your clothes on." "Murder without flogging, eh?" sald Bailitzin as he faced Wend- over. "No, we don't murder prisoners either. We execute them after fair trial. 1f they are found guilty of murder--or are caught behind. the . lines in hsgune spying in time of .war." "Bailitzin, you tight." The somewhat weary 'and apath- etlc look faded froni Balilitzin's face and his eyes brightened as he looked up at Wendover. "Fight? How? Whom?" "Me.

Along the upward sloping track tho cavalcade wound its way. Arrived at the ziarat, Wendover | reined in his horse, raised his hand and addressed the men of Khalr- "Hear, oh men of Khalrastan," he said in Pushtu, '"I have asked a favor of your Khan and he has No man is to follow me, for I would tight my enemy alone.

"Dismount that' I may. embrace the; Huzoor," replied Shere Khan.

It contrasts the war news of the present time of Allies victories everywhere, of. Germany's diffi- culties inside Russia and of the strength of the Allied Air Force with the "dr:adful days of the blitz" in 1940, "During the Luftwaffe's fierce it says, "one's fears 'in- creased nightly that one might not be able to get the BBC. But, without fail, there .it was, as steadfast as England herself." Thé news; the writer recalls, was anything but cheering: "like Churchill, the BBC spoke «nly of blood, sweat and tears," But, he emphasizes, it wasn' only / the news they waited to hear. It was also 'those resounding, lingering * . strokes which chimed a message of hope and proved that some- thing, at any vilte; still stood firm, determined t6 fight the machiavellian German futy which was concentrated on the heroie rock that was Britain. and the faithful Dominions."

The faults are not all on one side. And a recognition of that fact Is the best basis for a better future understanding. * * . As Mr. Bienvenue pointed out, - the French-Canadians "shouldered arms with the conquerors of yes- terday to drive off the armies of the American. revolution," and "have shed their blood courageous- ly side by side with the British in several wars." He is justified in claiming for his people the virtués of politeness, generosity and hos- pitality. And he is correct in say- ing that there Is no in speaking two 'languages when. some others take pride in speak- ing only one. There are, of, course, great masses of Quebe's own people who take that.same. pride. But it is to be said for the' God- bout government to which Mr. Bienvenue belongs that it. has fought isolationism and emphasiz- ed the importance of learning English as perhaps no other Que- bec administration has. done 'be- fore it. * 3 .

That is a great truth excellently put, and its' general acceptance in Ontario would be a first. step to national unity.
