BRITISH TROOPS NOW OCCUPY

British troops have at last come into
the Promised Land, says the story of
the British official eyewitness with
the expedition.
What marvellous change of
scene! Behind them is hundred
miles and more of monotonous sand,
blazing and shimmering under tor
rid sun, with here and there a group
of palms to relieve the sameness of
the desert. Behind them, too, is the
intolersbl glare of the monday sun,
which is never softened except when
the Khamseen lifts TIE dust and
forms screen through which the
sun appears as during an eclipse.
But the sandstone is worse tor
ment than the penetrating rays, for
it brings additional heavy labor to
men with parched threats and scorch
ed skins.
The British troops in the desert
column are now free from these try
ing conditions. They are in Pales-
tine. Before them as far as the eye
can reach, is unfolded a picture of
transcending beauty. When the
troops from the desert come up over
the ridge of GAIA and look out over
the billowy downs, they invariably
break into rounds Of cheers.
Before and around them every
thing is green and fresh with the
greenness and freshness of spring
time. Big patches Of barley, for
which the plain south Of GAIA is
famous, shine like emeralds, and the
immense tracts of pasture are as
bright and warm as the rolling
downs of Berkshire. There is an
abundance of gorgeous flowers light
ing up the vivid greenness of the
plain as if in welcome to the oncom-
ing army. The efforts of this scene

1.-THE love of Mike!"
Excited EXPLANATIONS went around,
shrieks of half make-believe, half real
terror, while the little bride stood
staring, white-faced, into the night as
though she had seen a ghost, a ghost
of Bobbie, her own dear BARN for
whom her heart had been crying out
all day long.
Then out Of the darkness into the
bright li~ving-room's light stepped a
very fesh-and-blood little boy with

garments put on awry that badly need.

"Why, it's the poor farms new little

Ignoring the others, the child walked
straight up to Maggie Mackenzie.
I'm looking for my MOTHER" he
said. a catch in his breath.
And with her sad face now radiant,
a shining light in her eyes, the home
sick little bride gathered him up in her
arms and Rugged him close.
IF you can't find her, won't 1 do
instead, darlingY" she whispered be-
rpn kisses.

Maggie's cheeks and her eyes b1azeo.
Low dared he insinuate that one of
Bobbie's precious letters was nothing.
But the anger her eyes shot fell
short of their mark-Jamie had spied
the plum pudding.
Hello" he laughed, $50 that is what
was in the box. I'd just about given
1t III It's some pudding, all right,
isn't it?" he ven on sdmiringly.
"Since we couldn't nave it Christmas,
let's celebrate tonight-speed the part

the new, you know. But l came in TO
tell you I'm going over TO Blyly's to
take a look at the brooder he wants

ture book of Boobies, I'll stop at the
poor farm as l pass and leave it for
the little chap who got there too late
for Santa Claus. They say he's ter
ribly lonesome and homesick, poor lit
tie kid, and maybe 1t will cheer him
up."
The set line of Maggie's lips
twitched.
At the time it had seemed such a
simple thing to propose, to give Bob
bie's picture book, packed with her
own books by mistake, to the new or
phan arrived at the farm the begin
ming of the week the poor 4-year-old
child whose mother had died on Christ
mas day in a lonely shack up in the
mountains.
you car take the book another
time," she evaded, picking up her shut
tie and tatting like mad. 81 can't
bother about it today"
jamie looked at her, surprised, puz-
zled.
"Why, 1 can get it as well as you,
DEAR" he said gently. ITS on the
table in our room, isn't it?"
She threw down the tatting and
sprang up.
"Tll get it myself" she said fercely,
and shot into the adjoining room.
When she brought him the book,
her eyes were trimmed in great red
circles, but Jamie. impatient to be off,
did not notice, or thought the redness
came from her cold.
AS the front door banged after him,
camphor bottle in hand, Maggie sank
back in the nearest armchair and gave
herself up to being miserable.
But jamie was gone over an hour
time for conscience and camphor to
work. and thoroughly ashamed of her
self, her head much clearer, she greet
ed his return with rising spirits, which
fell precipitously when he ~nonchalant-
~ informed her he had invited over the
Blylys and Joen Thornton and his wife
and the Hopkins girl to spend the
evening and eat plum pudding with
them.
"Oh, jamie, why did your" she said
despairingly. 81 feel like anything but
company tonight"
But the guests had been invited and
there was nothing to do but make the
best of it.
Yet, as CALAMITY as she tried, the
poor, little bride could not shake off
her homesick forlornness.
1t was five minutes of II by the
living-room clock when the hot choco-
late and the plum pudding in its blaze
of glory were brought in, and as the
first stroke OF midnight fell upon their
talk and laughter. with lifted cups, all
sprang to their feet and drank to the
new year, deep and long.
All, hat is, except Maggie Mac
kenZie.
She took only a hurried sip at her
chocolate, then put down her cup and
ran and opened the front door.
Maggie p cried Jamie. what are
you opening the door for?"
ITO let in the New Year, dear" she
explained with a forced gaiety. Don't

had gone on a jolly tramp. Then there
had been dinner to get, the fun of
cooking the turkey and the laughter of
humping heads as they both flew to
the oven door to 'baste the 'baste.'"
And after they had eaten, and done up
the dishes, they sat before the cheer
full blaze of the li~ying-room's big open
fire talking in low, intimate voices far
into the night.
But now she was cooped up all day
long in the house with this wretched
cold in the head, the most forlorn and
lonesome of beings, with jamie away
for hours at a time, working on the
ranch or, when it rained or showed
too heavily to be outside, tinkering
everlastingly in the barn.
And as the proyerbial last straw in
today's mail had come the little sheet
of paper with the illegible snarly
scrawl-had come all the way from
Scotland.
Fol that was what had made the
love match so romantic. Jamie Mac
Kenzie, whom Maggie had not seen
since she was a girl of IA, had conn
back from the States on a three
months visit to his mother, found the
child he had played with lowered into
a woman, promptly fallen in love and
married her the day before his return
to Uncle Sans land.
And she had gone willingly with
him, had willingly left them all behind.
