For King and Country!


Captain Redmond was the first to
break the ensuing silence.
Good God! Then it's come at lastr'
he cried in a ringing voice.
"And the fleet! What of the English
fieet?" Ethel Willoughby exclaimed. as
her quick mind turned inevitably to
that most vital factor of Britain's de-
Tense. 1t was pure patriotism that
prompted her question. For the mo-
ment all thought of Henry Streetman
and his constant importuning vanished
completely from her reckoning.
Sir George swept the little company
with rapid glance
you are all practically members of
my family-at least l regard you as
SUCH" he said. Redmond, you are an
officer in his majesty's service-what
l say is in absolute confidence"
Larry stood stitfly at attention.
"Of course, Sir George! he an
swered.
Then Sir George told them what
Henry Streetman would have given
his soul to know.
"Winston Churchill went to Ports
mouth this morning. The British feet
sailed this afternoon under sealed or
ders and Churchill has offered his
resignation as first lord of the admi-
rally"
At that terse statement Ethel Will
loughby sank slowly upon a chair In
their excitement the others did not no
tice her agitation. Nor could they have
interpreted it had they OWNED it.
Something in the manner of an inspira-
ton had come to her-a scheme. plot,
stroke of genius perhaps. At all
events. she saw in a flash how she
might yet serve her country in a man
ner that is granted to few women-Or
even men.
Meanwhile Captain Redmond pom
dered upon Winston Churchill's Pc
culiar action.
But why, Sir George-whyY he
asked
Because he had no authority from
parliament to give such orders. If

then Churchill alone is responsible for
his action and his public career win be
ended If England goes to war. then
the English navy has gained at once
an early and tremendous advantage"
But it means that Churchill believes
England will fight" Ethel said.
THAT England VIII have to fight, 3"
Sir George corrected her
"Then the feet-it did not disperse 2"
she questioned "Where has it gone?'
Sir George saw no reason for teIl'ng
them half truths

has ever known has gone to ne North

To make an Omelet you must keep
the pan for this purpose only. Do not

in bowl and whip well. The mixing
must be thorough or the white will set

should not be beaten separately, as is
the custom of many cooks. This is
only needed when making an omelet

Now pour the mixture into the hot

about well over the fire. An expert

one-half over the other by means of

The side of the egg mixture which
touches the pan will cook quicker than
the other, but when folded the inner

seconds which elapse between the
cooking and serving Of the dish. Place
on hot dish and serve Immediately
Some cooks roll the omelet into pan
