Prof. Raymond Mcfarland, A. NJ, of
Middlebury college, gave the final lee
ture in his course on "Teaching in the
Bible School. The lectures have
been very profitable, and they have al
ready born good fruit in more intel
ligent and effective teaching in the To-
cal Bible schools.
Middlebury is fortunate in having
within her borders such specialist in
Bible school work as Prof. Mcfarland
His thorough grasp of the elements of
Bible school efficiency, and clear way of
imparting truth, and practical sugges-
tons as to methods of procedure, have
contributed, in very marked degree, to-
ward making the past winter the most
successful that our Bible schools have
ever enjoyed.
The members of the Union cherish the
hope that it will be possible to secure
Prof Mcfarland for a short course next
season. Following such brief intro
ductory course, there will be weekly
eXpositions of the Bible school lessons.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwreclS of
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Win
hrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake.
\ brusque American, were passengers.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
hed island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk
,n stupor. Blake, Stunned on the boat
because of his roughness, became hero
bs preserver of the helpless pair The
Englishman was suing for the hand of
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
70 the ship to recover what was left:
Blake returned safely. WSnthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead fish. The trio started ten
mile hike for higher land Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account OF weari-
pess. He taunted Winthrope. They en-
tered the jungle. That night was passed
roosting high in a tree. The next morn
Ing they descended to the open again.
All three constructed hats to shield them
selves from the sun. They then Toasted
pm cocoanuts. the only procurable food.
Miss Leslie showed liking for Blake,
but detested his roughness. Led by Blake
they established a home in some cliffs.
Blake found a fresh water spring. Miss
Leslie faced an unpleasant situation.
They planned their campaign. Blake re-
severed his surveyors magnifying glass
thus insuring fire. He started jungle

er, and forced herself to look at the
more difficult to withstand the odor of
the fresh blood. Winthrope was pale
and nauseated The sight of his dis
tress caused the girl to forget her own
loathing. She drew deep breath,
and succeeded in countering Blake's
expectant look with half,smile.
How we'll are you getting along!"
she exclaimed.
Didn't think you could stand it. But
you've got grit all right, If you are a
lady" Blake said admiringly. Say
you'll make it yet! Now, how about
the gully?"
There is no place to climb up. 1t
runs along like this, and then slopes
down. But there is a cliff at the end,
as high as these walls"
Twenty feet" muttered Blake
"Confound the luck. 1t isn't that
jump-off; but how in-how are we
going to get up on the cliff? There's
an everlasting lot of omelettes in
those birds nests. If only that bloom.
in'-hows that, Win, me by?-that
bloomin', blawsted baobab was on
t'other side. The woods almost soft
as punk We could drive in pegs
and climb up the trunk"
There are other trees beyond it,
remarked Miss Leslie.
Then maybe we can shin up"
II fear the branches that overhang
the cliff are too slender to bear any
weight"
And it's too Internally high to
climb up to this overhanging baobab
limb"
Il say" ventured Winthrope, IF we
had an ak, now. we might cut up one
of the trees, and make ladder"
"Oh, yes; and If we had a ladder
we might climb up the cliff"
But Mr.. Blake, is there not some
way to cut down one of the trees
The tree itself would be a ladder if il
fell in such way as TO lean against
the cliff"
There's only the penknife," an,
swered Blake. 80 | guess We'll have
to scratch eggs off our menu card
Spring leopard for ours! Now, If you
really want TO help, you might scrape
the soup bones out of your boudoir
and fetch lot more brush. Itll take
a big fire to rid the hole of that cat
SMELL"
"Will not the tree burn?"
No; these hollow baobabs have
green bark on the inside as well as
out. Funny thing, that! We'd have
to keep a fire going long uae to
burn through"
yet it would burn in time?"
Yes; but we're not going to"
Then why not burn through the
trunk of one of those small trees, in,
stead of chopping 1t down."
"By-beck. Miss Jenny, you've got
an American headpiece! Come on
Sooner we get the thing started the
better"
Neither Winthrope nor Miss Leslie
was reluctant to leave the vicinity OF
the carcasses. They followed close
after Blake, around the monstrous
bole of the baohab. A little beyond it
stood group of slender trees, whose
trunks averaged eight inches at the
base, Blake stopped at the second

Miss Leslie followed, hardly less
curious.
Are they all dead, Mr. Blake?" she
inquired.
Wiped out-whole family. The old
cat stayed by her kittens, and al
smothered together--lucky for us! Get
busy with those bamboos, Win. I'm
going to have these skins. and the
sooner we get the cub meat hung III

Leopard meat again." rejoined
Winthrope.
Spring leopard, young and tender!
What more could you ask? Get a
move on YOU"
Can / do anything. Mr.. Blake?'
asked Miss Leslie.
Hunt a shady spot"
But | really mean It,"
Well, If that's straight, you might
go on along the gully, and see II
there's any place to get to the top
You could pick up sticks on the way
back, If any are left. Wen have to
fumigate this tree hole before we
adopt it for residence"
will it be long before you finish
with your-with the bodies?"
We'll, now, look here, Miss Jenny;
it's going to be a mess, and wouldn't
mind hauling the carcasses clear down
the gully, out of sight, If it was to be
the only time. But it's not, and you
have got to get used to it, sooner or
later. So We'll start now"
II suppose, if l must, Mr.. Blake
Really / wish to help
Good. That's something like!
Think you can learn to cook?"
See what did this morning"
Blake took the cord of cocoanut fl.
Der which she held out to him, and
tested its strength.
We'll, III be blessed" he said
This is something like. If you don't
look out, you'll make quite a camp
mate, Miss Jenny. But now, trot
along. This is hardly arctic weather
and our abattoir don't include a cold
storage plant. The sooner these
lambs are dressed, the better"

Serene she lives amid the rush;
The clamor of the rest unheard.
She seems in truth a living hush
Here where the air with speech is
blurred.
Her sisters rise up to defy
The men who will not let them vote
She let's them rise; she goes to buy
A greatly down pony coat.
Deaf to the bootless howls of those
Who fret about the cost of things.
Calm and apart, she softly goes
AS one whose soul forever sings.
Let others frown and knit the brow
And take dull worry to the breast
She hears that gloves are specials now
And sets out on another quest
Her sisters null affairs of state
And tell the men folks what to do,
To her not any man is great.
No hero rises in har view;
Her thoughts on nobler stuff than men.
She lives within the realm of mind
She's sent her evening coat again
To have 1t cleaned and newly lined.
o, brother, do not laugh at this.
Nor think that it is scoff and sneer.
We shrek at things that go amiss
But echoed shrieks alone appear.
The ills we have. at which we swear
Continue with us just the same
We shake one off, then have to bear
The trouble with another name.
| Serene she lives amid the clash;
The tumult Is a pretty thing
| She dreams of silk, and lace, and crash.
And bonnets that shall be this spring.

The path of progress Is clear. There
is no more reason why the woman
in modern civilization should scrub
and cook and darn and dust than there
is why these things should be done
by men. The development OF i'm.

labor saving devices of all kinds will
finally obviate the necessity of doing
these things each day in each home

Since Great Britain left to Canada
the matter of Dominion defense there
has been more or less discussion as to
what course shall be pursued. The
practically complete withdrawal OF
British troops and British warships
from Canada has left it up to that
country to take care of itself. 1t Is
announced as likely that the bill
which the government will introduce
at the coming session of parliament
will provide for an appropriation OF
100000, extended over six or seven
years, and that the money will be de-
voted to the construction of a dozen
v-arships and of drydocks and ship
building plants. This will be in reality
but the entering wedge to war expen
diture," for if there is to be Cana
dian navy there will also have to be a
Canadian army. And just why there
should be big and costly military
