my contention Isl, l explained,
quite patiently, chat while you saw
1t complete at three o'clock, the cut
had already been made, but the cut
portion had not been removed. In
other words, the cutting having been
deity done with thin, sharp knife, 1t
was perfectly feasible to leave the por-
trait apparently intact, though with
the slightest effort the incised portion
could subsequently be released--with'
say, a piece Of cord, glued to the back
for that especial purpose"
Now that had made myself clear
Cameron was quick to acknowledge
the possibility of such a method.
"And the cord, you mean, led down
behind the book.shelves, and perhaps
through a Window" he suggested.
Precisely. And was pulled by some

There's nothing at all impressive In
that performance when you find out
how 1t was done. If the next demon
stration is no better than such clap
trap, you may rest assured you have
a very picayunish sort of mountebank
villain to deal with. So, cheer up, my
dear man, and I'll show you few
tricks at tennis that may be equally
eye-opening."
Unquestionably my friend appeared
relieved. But l came to fancy later
that the appearance was feigned for
my benefit. Certainly he was not con-
WINGED, and in that proved himself
possessed of an intuition, a world
more accurate than my own.

The Target.

The set at tennis having finished

made excuse to put off the inspection
of the collie puppies until another
time, resumed my walking boots and,
with q parting if futile admonition to
Cameron to think no more about It,"
started on my homeward way
My route lay again through the min

uncomfortably warm with the ap'
proach of noon, and there was scant
shade on the high-road between our
two houses. In the wood, however,
the air was gratefully cool, and J

deeply and with enjoyment the bosky

While on the verge Of this self-re-

the steam whistle having died away

the stiffness, there broke all at once
on the mute calm Of the woodland the

Army's Many Useless Hitching Posts

IN the United States proper. we have
j approximately 10000 mobile troops.
half of whom have been in the army
long enough to have become trained
soldiers. Unfortunately the system un-
der which the government manages
the army permits of no such efficiency.
This system divides the army into a
number of minute parts and imposes
on each part enough non-military duty
to prevent the military training which
alone can make an army efficient. This
dissection is accomplished by putting
small garrisons in the forts" or posts.
which are scattered throughout the
length and breadth of the land. chiefly
at points we're absolutely no excuse
for the presence Of military force
exists.
Some of these posts were erected to
meet military exigencies incident to
the war of the revolution; some were
established as temporary cantonments
for troops during the war Of 1912;
some are relics Of the Mexican war;
others were built along the frontier to
give protection to the western settlers
