twelve men of the A division, came down from London. and
have remained there ever since. List week the Kent Con-
stabulary Force took their places, and the men have left. At

priests, grew fainter, and, as it died away, the gamblers re-
mind their seats, again grasped their gold, and stretched
their necks, and once more it waa "Rouge gape et la eau-
