And the character of the spark showed
that the sending instrument was close
at hand. All the sleutns of the signal
corps prepared to chase this interloper
to his lair.
He began TO have visions of illegal
plants hidden in the bayous of the gulf

under the very fence of the camp.

"REMINISCENCES OF
LORD KITCHENER
Life Many Times in Danger.
Many Times
Saved

The anonymous author of Memories
Discreet and Indiscreet," lately pub
ished in London, who describes herself
as a woman of no Importance" has a
chapter on Lord Kitchener, whom she
counted friend, in which she says:
During Lord Kitchener's career his
life was several times in jeopardy
Lord Woseley saved him once, one of
his staff another time. yet after his
many escapes he lost his life close to
our own shores. In a measure / was
glad he died the way he did, though
not in the way fate decreed. The rea-
son why l was glad was because there
were already some heavy clouds hang
ing over his head ready to burst, and
it would have been painful to see him
torn limb from limb after so many
years of useful work. l should have
liked him to die in Egypt, where he
was happy and appreciated, and l know
that he would have liked it himself, for
there his heart was enshrined. I doubt
if anybody ever thoroughly understood
Lord Kitchener or If he understood him
self. He has often been harshly judged.
/ have heard him called mean, yet his
hospitality both in India and Egypt,
was memorable. / have heard him
called hard and unsympathetic. Yet I
doubt If any man who is fond of and
kind to animals can be hard and un-
sympathetic. Kitchener was kind and
gentle with his horses, though not a
great horseman, and when in South
Africa a pet bird was i'll he thought 1t
was moping for want of mate and
tried hard to find one for it, though 1t
was at time when he was overwhelmed
with work. The day before his last
fateful journey as he was walking into
his office he saw standing near one of
the two chauffeurs he always held in
readiness and said to him: You are
married, are you not?' The reply being
in the affirmative, Lord Kitchener con-
tinued, Then l will not take you with
me tomorrow l will take Broome in
stead So Broome and his car went
with their master, and will be seen no
more until the sea gives up her dead. -
