As Christmas drew near, Tom be- came more and more uncomfortable, even although the blandishments of Polly Powell grew more powerful. He had attended two recruiting meetings, but they seemed to him half-hearted and unconvicing. He still saw no reason why he should "do his bit." When he was asked why he didn't join, he mentioned the names of sev- eral young fellows who also held back. "Why should I go," he would say,| "when so-and-so and so-and-so stay at home? They are manufacturers' sons, and they are no better nor me. Let them enlist as privates, and then I'll see about it."

A great cheer arose from the audi- ence, and Tom scarcely realising what ne was doing, shouted and cheered with the rest. "But if we lose," continued . the speaker, "if the Germans break our lines and come to England, if we are will be responsible? It will be the shirkers, the cowards!

Tom, not being a dancer, was not eligible for the oc- casion, so he made his way to the meeting. That meeting marked an era in Tom's life. Little by little the speak- er gripped the attention of the audi- ence until the interest became intense and almost painful. He described what he had seen, he gave terrible places of amusement, and drink your jbeer. Don't you realise that you are Then the speaker made his last ap- men?" he cried. "We don't want conscripts, but free men who come out cheerfully, willingly, gladly to do their duty to their King, Country, and God. Who will be the first?" He stood on the platform waiting amidst breathless silence. "Will you wait until you are forc- ed?" "Where will you go?" she asked, "T don't know," said Tom. "Well, what are you waiting for?" "JT thought," said Tom, "that is--I thought as I was going away I'd--I'd to keep true to me while I'm away, aren't you?" "I nevér thought much of soldiers," said Polly. "Besides " 3 "Besides what?" asked Tom. "Look here, Polly, I gave up Alice Lister for you, and if you had been at that meet- ing you would see as how I couldn't do anything else." "Do you think you might get a com- mission and be an officer?" asked the irl, § "T never thought about that," said Tom. 'Polly hesitated a second, then she said: "Of course I'll be true to you, | Tom. There, good night, I must go! in,' The next morning as Tom was mak- ing his way towards the Town Hall he met Alice Lister. At first he was going to pass her by without notice, but) when he saw the look on her face he stopped. She came towards him with outstretched hand. "Tom," she said, "I've heard about last night, and it was splendid of you. I am glad you were the first. I am told that your going up in that way led scores of others to go." "Have you heard that?" said Tom. "T never thought of it." "I am sure you will be a good soldier, Tom. We are all proud of you, and--and we shall be thinking about you, and praying for you." Tom laughéd uneasily. "I thought you had forgotten all about me, Alice," he said. : "Why should you think so?" (To be continued.) °, 8 BRITISH ARMY SAVING FOOD. Men as Well Fed as Ever, But Saving Amounts to 15 Per Cent. The British army in the field is con- suming about 15 per cent. less of food- stuffs per capita than it did eighteen months ago. . This is not due to any studied dimi- nution of rations, but to a more care- ful distribution and the prevention of waste. It is very easy for a generous commissariat to supply an army with more than it can use. In the early days of the war this practice of gen- erosity was well-nigh universal, be- cause it was regarded as wiser to pro- vide too much than too little, and the reaching of the exact mean is not a simple matter. The policy of over- supply was well enough when food- stuffs were fairly plentiful, but nowa- days, when the result of the war may depend upon the solution of food pro- blems, nothing is being left undone to prevent waste. The British soldier is still the best- "No! By God, no!" said Tom, and platform and gave his name.

As long as old Queen Louise lived the Hohenzollerns were anathema at the court of Copenhagen. But her grandson, the present King Christian X., has a German wife, sister of the German Crown Princess and of the sovereign Duke of Mecklenburg- Schwerin; while his next brother, Prince Harold, has consoled himself for the mitten which he received from Queen Wilhelmina of Holland by mar- rying another German Princess, daughter of the German Empress's sister. In fact, the foothold which the Kaiser has obtained in Denmark is a pretty strong one.

The merchants, too, who have been growing rich by selling transatlantic imports to Ger- many, naturally feel a sympathy for the latter.

He therefore wandered about the town until that time, and again appeared at the public-house door. But it was not until twelve o'clock that Polly made her appearance. "Anything the matter, Tom?" she asked. "Ay, I have joined the Army." "Thou'st noan been such a fool?" "I have noan been a fool," said Tom, "I couldn't help it." Polly Powell looked at him rather angrily, then she said: done it, what do you want to speak to me about it for?" "T shall be off to-morrow," replied Tom.

If there is one thing more than any other that the Dutch have feared for ing noises following are caused by a mixture of bullets and fragments of steel. The British shell case, on the oth- er hand, does not burst. It remains intact and pours its bullets from the shell mouth as a shotgun pours its phot; thus perhaps the bullets are brought to bear more effectively in a definite direction. Certainly the British must have some good reason for using the type employed. Brother Fritz's penchant for "frightfulness" shows itself in all he does. There is probably no doubt, as regards his high explosive shrapnel shell, that he reasons that, whether it is really more destructive than the other or not, it is calculated to pro- duce greater fright--a thing which commanders. always must fight against among their troops. Happily for the British army, Tommy Atkins is about the hardest man to seare that ever wore a uniform. Fee src Not To Be Cheated.
