 'Tve got better scheme" said the major. Let me have her, Wallace. My wife will go crazy over her. You know she's always talking of adopting n little girl. She's got her ideal type in mind, and that's it. I was to look round for one like that if ever the chance came along"
 Well you'd better go on looking round, Major" said Wallace, irritably.
 "See here, my boy. you don't really want that kid, do you?"

The mother was decent. and there may be something in that idea of a vicarious restitution. I'll agree, Wallace, if you'll let me take over the charge of her till the wars ended. We'll enter her on the mess book and settle a fictitious percentage on her afterward, and may she never know her fathers history. By the time she's old enough to understand mas- cots duties, flirt with the lieutenants, and plead for the drunks, maybe we'll have forgotten it ourselves. Good night, my boy. Take care of your wound. I'll send in that milk and bis cult and couple of cakes of naphtha soap, and a porcelain tub with silver trimmings, for you to make start on her in the morning."
 He glanced at the sleeping child, took Marks hand and went quickly out of the tent. Under the sky he stood still for a few moments.
 "The d-d scoundrel!' he nut tered.
 At that instant his alert ear heard what the sentry, posted some distance

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and are considered of gastronomic value are caterpillars, moths, favorite in some parts of Africa; the pupae of the silllworm in China ants, alive and roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as well as by the Indians of North and South America, while it is said the lumbermen of Maine enjoy an Occa- sional meal of large wood ants. The beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in Turkey, Lombardy, Java. Peru. and is said to be nutritious and fattening. In Central America the eggs of three aquatic bugs are made into little cakes and eaten. Mexicans make a strong drink by infusing a tiger beetle in alcohol.

Bluff That ailed.

General Plumer, who has recently been recalled to France from Italy, can be very ironieal when he chooses, IS the following story proves:
 Shortly before the war, when he held the Irish command, q regiment was being maneuyered before him on q field day, and the colonel in charge succeeded in getting his men mixed up pretty thoroughly.
 However, he went grimly on, and at last, calling a halt, rode up to Plumer with an air of importance.
 q hatter myself that was extremely well done, sir" he said, evidently with the idea of trying to bluff that noth- ing had gone wrong.
 "0h, excellent" was General Plum- CTS suave reply. But may I ask what on earth you were trying to do?"- Pearson's Weekly.

and swung his arm. The pieces fell in the jungle grass far beyond the en- campment. Major Howard shied the purse after them and went back to where Wallace still sat upright on the bed. He noticed, with a certain grim ness of spirit, that one of the lieuten- ants hands rested on the child's fair hair.
 Well, Wallace?" he asked.
 'Its damnable."
 "We can't exactly make his child the regimental pet, can wei"
 Wallace was silent, and the Major sat down on the edge of the bed be- side him.
 q had orders to watch for him." he said. "He was to have been hanged as soon as we captured Santiago. That's why he was making for the jungle. He was detected and allowed to escape with his life, but he had been working as q Spanish agent since he was drummed out Of America. His career ended at the luekiest moment for him. He seems to have had the one redeeming quality of affection for the child, though if he had had a par ticle of unselfshness in him he would have left her behind him. I suppose she was the only thing he had in his wretched life"
 "Of course there's no palliation, suggested Wallace. 'But the man may have been born good and-gone dOwnhill.'
 "IIe was born rotten" answered the Major. "He sold his country 10 pay his gambling debts. Cuba was about the only place that would hold him, I imagine. And to think that swine was once in our regiment! Sorry l had to tell you, Wallaee"
 He hesitated while; Wallace had not moved; but inc child at his side stirred and hreathed heavily. The majors fists clenched.
 I'm trying to be just to the dead" he said. "But I feel that q thousand years of holi wouldn't atone fer that crime, Wallace"
 Mark Wallace looked up. "Tm not sure that I know all the facts about the ease Major" he said.
 "The facts are that it was no sudden act of fear or temptation, but calculat- ed, cold-blooded delibcration. We knew at tbe war office that there was q leakage. IL had been traced to the mobilization division. where Kellerman and I were working. Even we were under suspicion for q time. Then it narrowed down to Hampton and an- other.

He stopped, ostonished at the way the Major took his suggestion. How ard began to stutter, paced the inside of the tent for some moments, mutter- Ing to himself and then swung round upon his heel, facing the lieutenant.
