London, May g. Defending his de-
mand for compulsory military service,
David Lloyd George in a speech to his
constituents to-day in North Wales
urged that the country should profit
by the lessons which German organi-
Zation afforded.
Time is not an ally" said Mr.. Lloyd
George. 1T is a doubtful neutral, and
1t is not yet settled on which side it
will be, but time can be won over by
effort. determination. preparation and
organization. No alliance ever worked
more harmoniously than the Central
Powers pooling their forces. Let us
apply their methods to our means and
we shall win"
More than 100000 men had been
raised for military purposes, he added
and there were 100000 munition
workers in the country, 40 per cent. Of
the latter being of military age. More
over there were nearly 100000 women
engaged upon tasks which before the
war one never would have dreamed
women were capable of discharging.

The day when Leila and Tommy
came into the life Of jim Peters was
his rcddest Of red letter days. He al
ways saw the scene just as he had
seen it then. The early SHOWS had be-
gun to whitcn the hills, and Peters had
driven his stock down into the lower
country for the winter pastures.
He was sitting in his hut, thinking
over things. At thirty. he felt vaguely
that he ought to be doing better for
himself. Not that he wanted to leave
the cattle country for the city. But
life in two-room shack. where he
cooked his own meals and made his
own bed, was becoming unbearable.
Most of the settlers Of his age were
already married. The settlement was
beginning to prosper. Neat little flow-
er beds appeared round the houses and
the young wives were very gaily
dressed upon occasions A church had
been built; altogether it was place
dollars In the bank to rejoice In.
But jim had always lived lonely
life; he did not know how to change
1t. Too bashful to make advances to
any of the town girls whom he saw
on his rare visits, and with a vague
feeling that he wanted q wife Of spe-
cial, hardly defined type, something
above the common run, he was brood
ing in his chair when there came q tap
ut the door.
1t was timid tap, such as he had
never heard. The men who tapped at
Jim's door hammered with hairy fists
until he opened to them. jim opened
now, and was amazed to see woman
and boy outside
Both were thinly clad and shivering
from the cold. Nevertheless the wom-

an did not attempt to enter, but only
asked where lodging could be OBJ
tained.
She had come in on the evening
traia, she said. She offered no further
explanation, but 1t was evident that
she was gently bred. The look OF
WEAKNESS in her eyes haunted jim for
days.
lie took her down the hill to a wom-
an of the valley. The hospitality Of
the West prevailed over suspicion. Tho
stranger and her son were given shell
ter.
Next day Leila Drayton, as she
called herself, went to work for one
OF the richer settlers. But soon she
was asked to fill Il pressing need. The
children were growing up and, in spite
of It's advantages, there was no school
in the valley. She became the school
mistress.
Speculation was rife about her. She
never mixed with the valley people,
never talked about her past. And the
west accepts women as well as mon
1or what they are, and asks no ques-
TORS.
The days grew into weeks, into
months. jim Peters often found Occa-
sion to saddle his horse and ride down
into the valley. He and the boy be-
came fast friends. But Leila was MS
Indifferent to him as to the other men.
Perhaps jim would never have
found the opportunity he craved, of
becoming her friend, but for an acci-
dcnt. The boy wcs straying on the
railroad embankment In search of
birds eggs. His mother was with him,
but seated little distance behind the
rise. jim, watching them lmpatlently
from the other side, knew that the af-
ternoon train was due.
Becoming uneasy, he hurried across
the valley. He was just on the oppo.
site ridge when he heard the train in
the distance. The sound, which burst
forth suddenly as the train came out
or the tunnel, startled the boy, perched
on ledge. He lost his footing and
fell twenty feet, to lie unconscious
across the metals. At the same time
the mother rose, discovered him and
screamed.
Jim plunged down the steep embank-
ment, seized the boy, snatchcd him
from the metals and covered with him
against the cliff, while the train went
sweeping by so near that the draft
almost blew him from where he had
planted .imsclf Afterward the boy
opened his eyes
The distracted mother kneeled be-
