Wallace. ..e said. '"rhe feIisw was a
bad lot, but, as you say, there may be
no reason why this little animal should
suffer for his sins. The mother was
decent, and there may be something in
that idea of a vicariOus restitution.

over the charge of her till the wars

out of the tent. Under the sky he

away, had failed TO catch-the rustling
of some moving figure in the de nse
jungle grass at the edge of the camp.
The major remained perfectly mo
tionless, except for his right
which was swiftly withdrawing his re-
volver from its case. Suddenly he was
transformed into action. He leaped
between the two last tents of the line,
to see a man confront him for an in
slant. In the light of the quarter
moon the major could not distinguish
how the intruder was dressed. 1t was
evident, however, that he had been
prowling outside the tent which held
Wallace and the child.
"Halt !" shouted the major and the
sentry together, and, as the man drop

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and
are considered of gastronomic value
are caterpillars, moths, a favorite in
some parts of Africa; the pupae Of
the silkworm in China ants, alive and
roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as
well as by the Indians of North and
South America, while 1t 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 tiger beetle
in alcohol.

Bluff That Failed.

General Plumer, who has recently
been recalled to France from Italy,
can be very ironical when he chooses,
as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command. a regiment
was being Unanswered before him on
field day, and the colonel in charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed NY
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last, calling a halt, rode up TO Plumer
with an air of Importance.
IL fiatter myself that was extremely
well done, sir" he said, evidently with
the idea of trying to bluff that moth
ing had gone wrong.
ooh, excellent" was General Plum
er's suave reply. "But may I ask what
on earth you we're trying to DOR

and swung his arm. The pieces fell
in the jungle grass far beyond the en-
campment. Major Howard SHE'D 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.
"It's damnable."
"We can't exactly make his child
the regimentai pet, can WEI"
Wallace was silent, and the Major
sat down on the edge of the bed be-
side him.
81 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 a Spanish agent since
he was drummed out of America. His
career ended at the luckiest 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. l 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."
'He was born rotten" answered the
Major. "He sold his country to pay
his gambling debts. Cuba was about
the only place that would hold him,
imagine. And to think that swine was
once in our regiment Sorry had to
tell you, Wallacel"
He hesitated q while; Wallace had
not moved; but the child at his side
stirred and breathed heavily. The
majors fists clenched.
I'm trying to be just to the dead
he said. 'But feel that thousand
years of hell wouldn't atone for that
crime, Wallace"
Mark Wallace looked up. "Tm not
sure that l know all the facts about
the case, Major" he said.
''The facts are that it was no sudden
act of fear or temptation, but calculat-
ed, cold-blooded elaboration. We
knew at the war Office that there was
a leakage. 1t had been traced to the

He stopped, astonished 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.
"Good God, no, Wallacel Whatever
put that internal idea into your headf"
he exploded. "See here, now! You're
not well enough to talk this thing over
tonight. Some day I'll tell you why
your proposal is impossible"
THAT'S all very well, Major. don't
know what you mean, but if you don't
like my proposition you know what
you can do. I'm quite well enough to
listen to what's worrying you. Dig it
out !"
81 haven't time, Wallace. There's
these stragglers to be sorted out. Not
that much can be done tonight, sup
pose. Sometime I'll tell you"
He swung round on his heel and
made for the entrance, stopped and re-
turned.

he exclaimed. ~ had thought it might
be as well not TO tell you ever. You
don't happen to know who this child's
father was-that man in the tent?"
''What do you mean, Major? Some
settler caught by bullet, I.suppose."
''Hamptonl" said Major Howard,
grimly.
Lieutenant Wallace sat bolt upright
on the bed and stared at the other in
amazement.
1.-THE man who sod our mobilization
plans to Spain?" he whispered, con-
sciors of sudden terror for the child.
rhe major nodded. ''It's years
since we worked together in the war
office" he answered, "and, frankly,
didn't know the face. You wouldn't
have, would you, after the work that
the bullet had done? One of those

He went TO the tent door and looked
out. 'Here, Johnson" he called.
The negro servant appeared almost
instantaneously within the opening
and stood to attention.
