By the time Flower arrived the road was clear, and the house had lapsed into its accustomed quiet. An old seafaring man, whose interest in wed. dings had ceased three days after his own, indicated the house with the stem of his pipe. _ It was an old house with a broad step and a wideâ€"open door, and on the step a small servant in a huge eap, with her hands clasped together, stood gazing excitedly up .the‘ road. is “Ca;’.rln..i:l.'a;‘; live here?" inquired Flower, after a cautious glance at the windows . na e o _ "You‘ll be married one of these days if you‘re a good girl," said Flower, who was in excellent humor.

He was anxious, if possible, to see Fraser, and catch the first train back. "Cap‘n Fraser was in good spirits, I :vpose ?" he said, cautiously. "Very good spirits," admitted the small servant, "but nervous." "And Miss Tipping?" suggested Flower . k t og ons P _ "Miss who ?" inquired the small girl, with a superior smile.

He was certain of the reply before the now thoroughly frightened small girl could find breath »nough to utter it, and at the word "Poppy," he turned without a word and ran up the road.

"What‘s the matter?" _ C & But Flower was running doggedly up the road, thinking in a confused fashion as he ran. At first he thought that Joe had blundered; then, as he reâ€" membered his manner and his apparâ€" ent haste to get rid of him, amazeâ€" ment and anger jostled each other in his mird. _ Out of breath, his pace slackened to a walk, and then broke inâ€" to a run again as he turned the corner, and the church came into view, _ _ "They‘ve gone into the vestry," whispered an aged but frivolous woâ€" man, who was grimly waiting with a huge bag of rice. _ _ s d _ There was a small cluster of people in the porch, which was at once reâ€" duced by two, and a couple of carâ€" riages drawn up against the kerb.

He ranged himself quietly with the bystanders, and, not without a cerâ€" tain dignity, waited. Ti He looked in the church again, and saw them coming down the aisle; Fraser smiling and erect, with Poppy‘s little hand upon his arm. She looked down at first, smiling shyly, but as they drew near the door gave her husâ€" band a glance such as Flower had never seen before. _ He caught his breath then, and stood up erect as the bridegroom himself, and as they reached the door they both saw him at the same instant. _ Poppy, with a startled cry of joy and surprise, half drew her arm from her husband‘s; Fraser gazed at him as on one risen from the dead. For a space they regarded each other without a word, then Fraser, with his wife on his arm, took a step towards him. _ Flower, still regarding them steadily, drew back a little, and, moved by a sudden impulse, and that new sense of dignity, snatched a handful of rice from the old woman‘s bag and threw it over them. s Ns . m _ Then he turned quickly, and with rapid strides made his way back to the station.

"No, son; that is a Campfire Girl." Here followed a detailed account of the activities of that organization.

In the agrarian districts of Austria, folk do not live in isolated farm houses but in some village central to the farms about. Someone, usually an aged matron, is assigned to set the house to rights and prepare the midâ€" day meal. The others go out, gather the tools, hitch or yoke the sturdy oxen to some wagon for the day, and then ride out to the field. There, men, women and children till or sow or cultivate or reap, according to the season. At noon they stop long enough to dine; then once more they toil until dark. With nightfall all clamber abdard the open tart, and the oxen, used perhaps to draw the plow, or to do other similar work during the day, are made to draw the laborers back to the village. Someone walks at the head of the oxen, though they know the way, as with steady, unbroken gait, for which the patient animals are noted, they soon cover ‘the long stretch home.

Stories not hitherto published of lively encounters between British trawlers and German submarines in the North Sea were told by Robert Lowry and others at the recent meetâ€" ing of the Mission to National Seaâ€" men. One trawler, Sir Robert said, became such a terror to Uâ€"boats that four of them lay in wait and eventuâ€" ally destroyed it. On one occasion, this trawler armed with two light guns was attacked by a submarine. One shot went through the deck house, another smashed the wheel, "but the skipper went on steering with broken spokes." Another shot carried away the cook‘s galley, but the trawler‘s gunner hit the submarine, which then had enough of it and went under. Another unarmed trawler saw _ a submarine on the North Sea and made a dash for it with the result that the Uâ€"boat quickly submerged.

Dr. Cabanes, writing in La Chroniâ€" que Medicale, says that the birds are aroused from their slumbers before the odor of the gas has been detected in the trenches, and at once begin to make a confused clamor as they hastâ€" ily take their flight to the rear, thus warning the men behind the guns to don their gasâ€"masks and be ready for the deadly unseen foe. This cireumâ€" stance is in accord with the wellâ€" known use of a canary to detect Foul air in mines, and it seems probable that the superior sensitiveness of birds in this respect is due to the highly oxygenated condition of their blood, causing them to suffer from the slightest lack of oxygen.

But mankind, to get a notion of the horrors of chemistry, has had to wait for the pregent war. has had to wait for the pregent war. The conflict now in »"progress is mainly, as one might say, a warfare of the chemists. Without their diabolical products, ranging all the way from high explosives to poison gases, it would have few of the characteristics of ultraâ€"frightfulness that render it unique in the history of international struggles. _ 12 Di l Bs â€" No Instrument of Present day N Horrible Than the Destructive SU UBBUO"* But of all the instruments of deâ€" struction used in this. war, there is none more horrifying than the soâ€"callâ€" ed "incendiary bomb," which sets in;, stant fire to whatever it touches and which spreads flame in a manner so terrific that three or four such grayvâ€" ityâ€"projectiles dropped the other day Emmen ooo ie es Pram _ oo e ob en e ie n from ;n aeroplane (undoubtedly Gerâ€" man) burned up the whole of a peaceâ€" ful Dutch village in a fe‘w minutes. Now, what is the fearsome stuff with which such bombs are loaded? A new chemical compound? Not at all. What they contain is simply a mixture of two of the most harmless things in the worldâ€"oxide of iron (which is simply iron rust) and powdered aluâ€" minum. An Infernal Compound. When these two innocent substances are mixed together the result is a comâ€" pound truly infernal in its potentialiâ€" ties for mischief. It is not an exploâ€" sive, but if set on fire, it burns with an intensity that is positively appalâ€" ling. Nothing will put it out; no quantity of water has any effect upon the raging flames it engenders. This is the material used for loadâ€" ing incendiary bombs. It is ignited in such projectiles by a mercuryâ€"fulminâ€" ate cap that sets off a fuse containing powdered magnesiumâ€"the stuff phoâ€" tographers employ for flashlights. These bombs are thin shells of steel or ironâ€"mere containers for the mixâ€" ture before described. They are so contrived that the fuse is instantly ignited when they strike. Whereupon the shell is melted by the heat generâ€" ated within it and a flood of fiercely biurning metal is scattered in all direc»« tions. All of this seems rather extraordin« ary, and it is worth explaining. _ But oxygen has a much greater afâ€" finity for aluminum. And #so, when the two metals are powdered and mixâ€" ed together and heat is applied the oxygen flies out of the iron rust and combines with the aluminum. "Fiery Dragon" of Middle Ages. The process is started in the bomb by the burning magnesium. And then the oxygen passes out of the iron and into the aluminum so rapidly that an enormously high temperature is deâ€" veloped. It runs up to 3,500 or 4,000 degrees Fahrenheitâ€"which means, of course, a tremendous combustion. The mixture of aluminum and iron burns \like so much tinderâ€"though such a way of putting it is absurdly feeble. !

Sometimes it was provided with iron barbs, by which it clung to buildings. This was one of the ways in which the Saracens employed the celebrated "Greek fire"â€"an inflammable comâ€" pound that is understood to have been a mixture of petroleum, saltpeter and pitch.
