Hugh, having wearied of his liaison with
Lady Newhayen, determines to end it.
On the night that he comes to this deci-
sion Lord Newhayen calls him into his
library. Hugh discovers to his amaze
ment that the husband has not been so
blind as he imagined. Lord Newhaven
melodramatically offers him the choice Of
two paper lighters. The drawer of the
shorter is to kill himself within FIVE
months. The sentence of death falls
upon Hugh.
Time passes. He falls in love with an
other woman, a good woman this time.
In the light OF this new found happiness,
he cannot kill himself. What win hap
pen? Against this background hoyers
the subsidiary plot detailing the doings OF
the Rev. James Gresley, his wife, family,
the good woman, Rachel West, with
whom Hugh falls in love, and a lady
novelist, Hester Gresiey, the parsons sis
ter, who writes the greatest novel of the
day. Those are the ingredients from
which Miss Cholmondeley, with a very
real talent. Of its class, has mixed her
popular story.

eastern coast of Luzon. Its mission was
to rescue a Spanish garrison which had
been besieged for months in a church III
Baler. AS the river was shallow, Lieu
tenant Gilmore was sent ashore with a
small launch and a picked crew. The de-
tails of his capture are not known, but
since that time he has been in the hands
of the Filipinos.
1t is said that soon after his capture
Lieutenant Gilmore and his men were
condemned to death by General Luna
and that only the interposition of Agui-
naldo at the last moment saved their
lives. Since then Gilmore has been
A~guinaldo's star prisoner. Whatever
happens, Aguinaldo sees that the lieu
tenant is not recaptured, and nothing can
induce him to grant an exchange. He
has several reasons for this. He, like all
other Filipinos, is impressed tremendous
ly with the power of the United States
navy and it gives prestige to the Tagal
leader to be able to so about with a naval
officer as his captive.
Then, again, if a trained officer like
Gilmore, who had been for months with
the Eilipinos. were released he would
carry away with him important military
and political information. So the lieu
tenant and his men have been carried
about over a large part of Luzon.

OK wagons and camp out for days or per-
haps weeks at a stretch. The scenery
thereabout is Of the most delightful
description.
But, hot weather or no, Tommy Atkins
has made preparation to celebrate Christ
mas in camp in a as near ike
the home Christmas as possible. His
friends at home have been helping him
out. For the past few weeks many great
steamers have discharged at South Afri-
can ports tons and tons of Christmas
goodies to cheer the heart of the British
soldiers. Some Of the men will not re-
ceiye their gifts until New Years, for
communication with the front is largely
m~onopolized by ammunition trains. Soma
of them, those who are besieged and
those whom the Beers have shut in the
prison pens of Pretoria, will get no
Christmas sweets at all. and some, poor
chaps, will be beyond the touch of Yule-
tide altogether.
But for those who can be reached there
is plenty of good cheer. It is estimated
that more than 20 tons OF plum buildings
have been sent this year from England
to South Africa. One firm alone shipped
10000 plum buildings to- the soldiers.
The war Office win probably supply the
rum on its own account, and in addition
it already has accepted many offers Of
other Christmas drinks made by private
individuals. For instance. a firm OF
brewers is sending 1000 barrels OF stout,
each containing 80 gallons, for the en-
livenment of the soldiers Christmas. and
it is said thar the amount Of Scotch
whisky sent to South Africa in small lots
is past all count.
The war Office also has accepted 9 vast
quantity Of tobacco. One man in GIas-
Cow supplied a ton, which Lord Lans-
doBne. secretary Of state for war. accept
ed with very many thanks and other
offers OF smaller quantities have been re-
ceived and accepted.
Many Of the regiments have also been
remembered en- masse by their friends,
as, for instance, the Leicestershire regi~
ment, which is to get a Christmas pres
ent from the Leicestershire volunteer
battalion Of 1000 tins of tobacco. which
a local firm supplied at cost and threw
in LOCO briar pipes, besides The Sher-
wood Foresters will get from their Not
tingham friends half q ton of plug tobac-
co, 1000 cigarettes, 1000 cherry wood
pipes and six cigars apiece, or COCO in
all, and 125,000 cigarettes were forward
ed to the Essex regiment from their
friends at home.
These regiments are not likely to be IA
vored especially either Most of the 9TH

friends, and the rest viii be supplied
from the enormous quantity presented to
the government.

BY CHERRIES WARNER


Christmas In South Africa is a very
different season from onrs. While we
are wearing heavy orercoats, feeding the
furnace and perhaps taking sleigh rides
the people Of the lower half OF the dark
continent, where the blood red tide Of
war now rolls, are wearing their thinuest
clothes, mixing iced drinks and picnickins
in the woods or at the seaside.
In Cape Colony and Natal, as well as
In the Transvaal and Orange Free State.
Christmas is the hottest part Of the year.
"Tbe gentlemen In khaki ordered south'e

warm weather stuff and that they ara
not sweltering in the heavy uniforms
which they wear while in home barracks
It seems odd to think Of going to the
seashore al Christmastide, but that is
what the Cape Colonists do. One Of the
most popular resorts, the Coney Island Of
South Africa. is East London. Summer
vacationists from all parts Of the colony
and from some of the adjoining states
are now trekking eastward, if they are
not too busy watching the war.
East London has a magnificent stretch
of sandy beach, which is washed BIZ the
waters of the Indian ocean. To this IA
vored spot come c~olonists with their
tents and wagons, preferring a week or
a fortnight Under canvas to the more or
less Indifferent accommodation provided
by the hotels in the town.
The bathing is excellent, although one
has to be careful Of the strong currents
which abound. The bather has, too, to
exercise some amount OF caution, for
these lovely waters of the Indian ocean
are infested with sharks.
Another delightful spot in British KAT
fraria, as this part OF Cape Colony IS
called, largely resorted to at Christmas
time, is the Perie forest, at the foot OF
the glorious Amatola mountains, some 10
or IL miles from the pretty little borough
of King William Il Town. Whole fami-
lies trek thither at Yuletide with their

be noted that this cartoon is not nearly
as violent as many of the others.

where hundreds Of families. from the

In another picture q group Of famine
stricken natives of India are shown,
while a rat English officer looks on with
apparent satisfaction and an English wo-

A mild example Of the ~pleasantries of
fered to Queen Victoria is found in a
picture where she is seen groveiing on,
her knees before President Kruger, who
says. "Reassure yourself, old lady; you.
are only dethroned in the estimation of

". Edonard Drumont, the eminent
anti reyfusite, took occasion to refer to-
one Of the most disgusting OF the car
toons dealing with Queen Victoria and
said that it was eminently just and props

that the English -ewspape had abused
the French army during the Dreyfus

She says she worked three years On this

While the critics say that Red Pot

admit that it has all the elements of q
good love story with some additional frills,
such as humorous satire, epigrams that
tickle and some very pleasing tea table
