‘““Look here, lads,”’ he began, “‘just shut up and listen to me while I tell you a yarn of the Boer war of 1881. These young officers may now and again be fools

on parade, but wait till the band begins to play, wait till your heart’s going pit-a- pat, and you won't have far to look for them then. You'll see them walking up and down while you’re lying on your belly, and they'll call out, “Come on, lads.’ There’s no ‘Go on, lads,’ about them. “I'd been in the corps 12 months when the war began, and I just missed being sent to the depot with a lot of our young- sters. We had serving with us a young officer called Tryon, and, do what he could, the drillbook fair mastered him. Gawd's truth! What a mess he’d make f our squad sometimes and how we got it hot from the sergeant! Worst of it was Mr. Tryon was as nice a young chap as you’d meet anywhere, and the chaps fair loved him. He'd got a jolly sort of smile on his face as made you feel he 't thinking himself better nor you because he was an officer. Well, he man- aged to come out with us somehow, and we were glad enough, too, for we knew he’d pan out all right, Gawd rest his soul! We got stuck away at Newcastle, Natal, a long way from everybody and 1) miles from our base, and the old man

wasn

g nervous.

“You see, lads, although we were really ir, we were supposed to be at peace, nd so in such times you get to expect treachery. Our telegraph office was go retty nigh all day long, what with » thing and another, and the colonel, knowing that there was an office at In ini, thought he’d see that all was on You follow me, eh? The question was beside the mark, for

“Sure as fate, me and nine others were toid off to tramp down to that Gawd for-

saken little hole, with young Lieutenant

Tryon in command. Ten solid miles, lads. My Lord, didn’t we cuss and swear!

“Off we went, with orders to sleep that night at Ingogani and to make our report next day at Newcastle. It didn’t take us long to find out, what some knew al-

ready, that the young officer was a real good un, and I’m blowed if he didn’t give each of us two jolly good cigars which he had brought from the officers’

mess. So we lit up and slung along as cheerful as grigs on a hearth, laughing and tulking as though war was out of the question. It was nigh on 10 o’clock before we got near the town, which was quite deserted. It seemed like walking through a dead place, for every house was shut up and rot a light showing any- where. Then we made for the railway station, where the telegraph office was, and there we saw a light showing in the window.

“*That’s all right,’ said the officer to me. ‘I’ush on, men; we shall all be glad of a rest.’

“Without a thought of anything wrong we marched up to the station, and on the platform slipped off our straps and belts while the lieutenant walks up to the of- fice and opens the door. Almost before we could do more than open our silly mouths out tumbles a lot of Boers right into the middle of us. We hadn’t half a chance, and not one of us got to his rifle in time to fire even a shot. I marked one chap with a clip on the jaw, but he paid me out for it when we were all strapped up, curse him, for he jammed his rifle butt into the small of my back till Il could have hollered. Then they marched us into the office, with our hands tied behind us, and there we found the lieu- tenant. In front of the telegraph instru-

“ ‘Now, roineks,’ said a big fuzzy whis- Kered man, ‘I’ve trapped you like rats in

a trap. You didn’t think that we were going to sit still forever, did you? You didn’t think we had grit enough to get

behind your camp, did you?’

give you five minutes to make up your minds, and if you refuse—well, every man dies inside of seven minutes.’

“He said something to his men, and they trooped out of the room, and we could hear horses moving up and down. The big clock ticked away like a bell, and for a few seconds no one said a word. | suppose my face was the same color as the others, and theirs were green enough

““*Now, my lad,’ began Mr. Tryon, coming near to the telegraph man, ‘we've got to do our duty’—his hands were tied tight behind him, but he didn’t wince, not he. ‘If you send off that message, these devils will ambush the regiment or blow up the train as it goes down tomorrow and we may—mind, I say may—save oti skins. If, on the other hand, you wire up the truth to Newcastle, the regiment

will march down with all precautions, and we shall die.’ “*But I’m not ready to die. Why;

should I? I’m afraid to die,’ moaned the poor chap, and in our hearts we echoed

his words.

‘I know that, my lad,’ said Mr. Try on, ‘and so am 1, but it’s seen ever, and we'll die together. It'll be cous; my aus way, won't it? Cheer up I've got oa mother and father. 1. be ashamed of me if | «

* ‘Good,’ says Mr. Tryon. "Now iet ‘em

“Lord, I fair laughed: | help it. It was a bit byst a man of me, and I didnt care a blow for anything. Then the Boers can li, and their leader began:

“*Well, have you made up your miuds*?

“*All right,’ said the cierk, shaking with fear, but with a cocky gleam in his eye. ‘What shal] I say?

“ ‘Say what | told you, or’—

“We held our breath while we watch- ed the play out, standing like dummies against the wall.

“Tick-tick-tick-tack, tick-tick-tick-tack, went the instrument, and then there was a horriBle silence. He was calling up Newcastle, and we prayed that they might be on the qui vive to put us out of our ™isery.

“Then a bell rang, and the clerk gave a swift glance at the Boers’ Martinis as he began thumping on the keyboard Was he going to play the craven after all? we wondered. But we could do nothing but watch and listen to the cease less tick-tack of the indicator. The sweat was dripping off the clerk’s face, but he plugged away until he had finished. hen our turn came, and begun te te.lk to us.

“What's the message? suddenly cried the Boer leader, pushing his ride muzzie against the clerk’s forehead.

“The shock was too much for the man,

“"*Am sending off to your’— But be got no further, for, with aa oath, tbe bBveer roared out in Duteh:

“*To your saddles! The roineks bave betrayed us!’

“Without a thought for us the men rusbed four their horses, while the leader seemed speechless with fury. Before he could make a move Mr. Tryon spoke up:

“*On my head be it! 1 ordered him to tell the truth! Don’t shoot him; shoot me!’

“Like a lion the man swung round and raised his rifle and covered our officer, while a shout came from without of ‘Smit! Smit!’

“He gared at Mr. Tryon, but he didn't blink, and then the rifle went higher and higher until it pointed full at the ceiling.

**Curse you! Why weren’t you a Boer?’ he said, and then he pulled the trigger and rushed from the room.

“Before the smoke cleared away we could hear the horses’ hoofs ringing on the still air, and then it dawned upon us

that there had been two white men in ;

that office, for Mr. Tryon was unhurt.

“*Thank God, lads!’ he gasped. ‘It was a near thing. I expect he’s told his men that he shot me, but, mind, you owe bim his life if ever you set eyes on him.’ ”

The soldier turned as though to go.

“And what became of him?” they ask- ed breathlessly.

“Died in the first big battle we bad with the enemy—died in the front, too, the pride of his regiment,” muttered the veteran. “There goes the ‘dress.’ Hur- ry up now; don’t growse any more; the blessed army’s full of Mr. Tryons!”’— Navy and Army Illustrated.

Gladstone’s Self Possession,

This faculty was strikingly manifested when, in the position of leader of the house, Mr. Gladstone had to write fre- quent letters to the queen giving his im- pressions as to public business. These letters he often wrote while sitting on the treasury bench after the dinner hour, and they sometimes appeared to tax even his mental resources. He wrote them im & gmall and not very legible band, and their composition eecupled a considerabae

and mediwval times, even introduction of wheat and oth- er cereals, there can be little doubt that acorns were regularly used by the poorer peasants for the purposes of making bread, and not only in seasons of scarci- ty, but as a genera! article of food. Oak trees were then chiefly valued because of the acorns which they produced.

In The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 1116, which is described as “a very calamitous year, the crops being spoiled by the heavy rains, which came on just before August and lasted till Candle- mas,”’ it is expressly recorded as an ag- gravation of the “heavy time” that “mast was also scarce this year that none was to be heard of in all this land or in Wales.”

The days of mast bread are happily gone forever, and even barley bread, in common use during severe winters not so many yerrs ago, has now everywhere given place to that of “the finest wheat dour.”—Longman’s Magazine.

Mrs. D. W. Cronsberry, 168 Richmond street west, Toronto, Ont., states:— “My daughter, who sews in a white g00ds manufactory, got completely run down by the steady confinement and close ettention required at her work. Her nerves were so exhausted, and she was so weak and debilitated that she had to give up work entirely, and was almost a victim of nervous prostration.
