"Yes," said Tom, "I-was there and I heard that the Black Watch were called up." . _For a few~seconds there was a silence between them, while Tom scan- ned the nurse's face closely. "Do you mean to say he's going to die?" asked Tom, and his voice trem- bled a little. The nurse nodded. "I am afraid so," she said, "He's too ill to see any eone, and I doubt if he would know you." "T am sure he would like to see me," said Tom pleadingly; "you see we were pals in Lancashire, and we saw a "T doubt goodish bit of each other while we} I would were in the camp in Surrey. like to see him if I could, I would really."

He did not know very much about McPhail, but he recalled the con- versations that they had had in Lan- cashire, and he vividly remembered the night before they had started for the Front. McPhail had been very much wrought upon then. Tom had watched his face while they sat to- gether in the Y.M.C.A. hut when the speaker was telling them about the deep needs of their lives.. MePhail's face had become set and stern, ° al- though his lips quivered, ~ Afterwatds when they had gone to the canteen the Scotchman had. uttered words whieh Tom never forgot. : He wandered now if McPhail had meant what he said, wondered too if he had realised the same experinces which he, Tom, had passed through. It seemed awful that this tall, stal- wart Scotchman was going to die. Why should men be killed in this way? 'Why should that lonely Scotchwoman, MePhail's mother, have to suffer be- cause of German sins? The nurse came back to him. "He wants to see you," she said, "and the doctor says he may. He's been ask- ing for you." "Asking for me?" queried Tom. "Yes, I didn't know anything 'about He's been telling another nurse Pollard it. that he wanted to see you. is your name, isn't it?" x few seconds later Tom was ad- mitted into the room where a number of men lay.

"Tt may not be as bad as that," he said, "lots of chaps who have looked worse than you have got better." "Nay," said McPhail, "I'm pipped, I have got to go. I'm not in any pain, though," he added quickly, "the doctor saw to that, but it willna be long afore I'm gone. 'Tom, I would }ike ye-to write a letter to my mither.

Apparently it is derived from "masque," which in provincial French is synonymous with "ne coiffe," meaning "born with a caul." In many parts of Europe, not- ably in Scotland and in France, good fortune is, attributed to the caul, and high prices are paid for one. A child born with this supposed charm is not only fortunate itself, but also brings good fortune to those in its home. In Audran's opera mascots are used |' to*thwart the 'evil powers of Satan. So popular was the opera and its story that mascots in the form of watch charms, coins and other devices were carried on the person, and in house- holds dogs were christened as mascots to ward off evil.

Probably no company has ever presented. a more racy document to its shareholders, and through the | whole story the personality of Colonel Griffiths is presented to the life---his thoroughness, his disregard of conse- quences, his habit of overruling those who stand in the way.

There is one very characteristic -touch in the story. At certain works | the tanks and the shops had been fired. The Rumanian Commission said it was dangerous to. stay any longer, as the power house, brim full of gas, might catch fire.and explode at any moment. Colonel Griffiths, however, would not |hear of the word "danger," and per- | sisted in setting fire to the power | house. : He took a lighted fuse of hay and entered. the. building, setting. fire to | the oil in the basement which had pre- viously been' pumped in. So strong was the gas in this building that one could have been asphyxiated in min- utes on remaining 'inside. It 'is a miracle that Colonel Griffiths (who was slightly burned) and the rest were not, killed. The only explanation is that the gas mixture in the building 'was too strong for quick combustion 'and explosion. ; | Some time ago, when Colonel Grif- fiths told something of this incident to a number of friends, they little dream- ed from his manner of telling the story that miraculous intervention had been required to-make it possible for him to tell the tale at' all. Me eS PLANING MILL WASTE. Used by Toy Makers and Has a Good Commercial Value. That a market for virtually all of the waste of a planing mill is to be had for the seeking is evidenced in the oceasional bringing to light of what is' being done by some planing mill managers in various sections of the country. The latest-has to do with a planing mill in the Northern States. In turning out some of its' products waste blocks of various sizes were numerous and sérved to furnish all the fuél required for the plant. This material had a fuel value of $3.a ton. One day a visitor looked the plant over, noted the waste blocks and be- gan to figure out the number of them in'a ton.. He offered the manager $17 a ton forall the waste of that charac- ter turned out. A_contract_was made and the visitor informed the manager he was a toy manufacturer and that less than half of what it cost him to make them, The mill manager imme- diately placed his thinking cap in or- | der, secured samples of all the planing mill waste, called on other toy manu- _facturers and before returning home found a market for all the waste about the plant except the sawdust. The final result is that the sale of the waste purchases all the coal. needed | for the plant and leaves a' profit -aver= aging $3800 a month to the company, A little analysis of the waste pro- ducts, about the saw and planing mills would. soon prove that much of. the material going to the slab pit has an excellent commercial valud¢.
