Punctually at 4 o'clock in the after
noon young Ferrars turned up at the
home OF his sweetheart at Laburnum
Lodge, in q neat Norfolk suit and on a
well appointed bicycle. The maid
showed him into the drawing room,
ready, but would be down in a few
minutes. He took M q photograph

at different aspects OF his little sweet
heart ut various times OF her babyhood
and childhood. A light step, the M

and even tinting the pallor of her brow.
Bertram started to his feet.

scream OF horror ended in q big sob,

once more turned to the mirror and cast
admiring giances at himself.
This was to much for her: she burst into
a merry peal Of laughter.
"Oh. you e~xcrucfating goose; why, Bert,
you are as ugly as one of the c~himpanzees

So saying he strobe rapidly put Of the
room, and Agnes thought he had forever
passed out of her life. Sh was aghast.
she never expected him to TAX his dis

beg and implore her forgiveness, instead

bidding, and his sudden departure over

She flung herself on the couch, burying
her face on the softly-tinted Liberty silk
cushion.
"Oh BERTHE, BERTHE, my darling, you

From Review of Reviews.

From Review of Reviews.
Norway and Sweden. being pre-emi-
nently Lands Of the Shows" 1t was
but natural that the military authori-
ties should turn their troops into ski
ers. For nearly two centuries the mod
ern armies OF Norway and Sweden, as
distinguished from medieval forces.
have maintained permanent regiments
of troops mounted upon ski, and sta
toned for service in regions where
their presence would be most useful.
Certainly. the Norwegian ski-troops
had every advantage against the
Swedes In the fighting that marked the
early part Of last century.
The wonderful dexterity. the swift
marches, and the holding OF snowy po-
sitions thought to be impossible SO i'm
pressed the powers Of Europe in those
days that, first, Germany, and then in
turn Austria, Italy, and France, like
wise mounted some Of their Alpine
troops on ski, though, Of course, not
on the same scale as is h case in
Sweden and Norway. The armies OF
both these nations carry out extended
maneuvers on ski during their long and
. very snowy winter.
Perhaps the most interesting occa-
sion Is the so-called three days ma
neuvers," which takes place annually
In the neighborhood OF Chrfstiania- The
troops proceed to a given rendezvous
on ski. n encamp In some suitable
spot. From here scouting parties are
often sent out on q ten days march
across h widest and least yreuuented
parts OF the country, where the only
living things met with are bears and
wolves. This cross country march
would be absolutely impossible to or
binary infantry-much less cavaIry-
no matter how light their euuipment
Thus, Il will be seen that an enemy NOT
carefully equipped and trained in the
use Of ski would be utterly helpless IN
this country, n quite at the mercy
OF then native sh mounted troops.
