When the Germans had got out of sight we hurried on our way, realizing now that there was very great danger if we could not reach Mannock in time to warn him. AS we approached ths appointed place we saw Mannock by himself, and in the background, near some trees, we saw his machine. We had taken a near cut through the woods and had got ahead of the
 marching troops, but we were not far enough in front to be quite safe
 The British officer got aboard, and Mannock was preparing to rise into the air, when we heard sounds that could not be misunderstood. The Germans had arrived again, and they signalized their arrival by opening fire with rifles at close range.
 I thought at first Mannock was hit
 and the Germans were evidently or the same opinion, for the ttf!cer in charge of the leading man shouted
 out words to that effect and called on his men to come on. Mannock said something to the Intelligence Of fcer, and the latter seemed GO grasp l the SlIuaIlOn. lie Sprang into the seat beside the machine gun and started firing.

 were not stacking off their pursuit.
 My iTnn ediatS objective was an un-

 case I had little hope of explaining
 my flight from the German soldiers.
 However, I went out boldly when
 I reached the passage leading into
 the house, and spent the night there.
 The Germans could prove nothing
 against us, but for nearly a week the
 house was occupied by soldiers, while
 the grounds were patrolled regularly.
 Fortunately, the warning had been given to Allied airmen by Mannock on my advice. and none of them came near the place until I was able to send word that 1t was safe.

 1t the end of the week I received permission to continue my relief work, and I was not sorry to get away for I was beginning to fear that l was suspected and there was tae ad- ditonal reason that my presence was required :n other parts of Belgium 1 and Ftaana at that time.

both ugly and dangerous.
No employer wants a clerk that CANDLES.
No woman wants a gambling husband. No
bank wants TO do business with gambler
And IL il is known you gamble it is black
eye for you among any kind Of reputable
business men.
Then there Is the HAPPY, or filthy bird,
known as Profanity.
It's not so much because it's wicked, that
you should avoid il, but because it's dis
gushing. 1t bars you from the society Of
decent women. II makes self-respecting
men wish you would go away. It's unneces-
sary; you can say anything you wish with
out it, better than with it.
Then there is the woods-lion known as
sex-perversion. If he gets you, you're a
goner. Not only is there death in his bite,
but his claws, if they scratch you, produce
the most loathsome diseases.
Mention should also be made Of most
deadly brood of vipers called by the general
name of Dope. May the Lord have mercy
on you il they bite you.
Besides these there are other vicious
forms Of Jungle life, such as Ideness,
Prodigality, Lying, Cheating, and others.
Better keep away from the Jungle. But
if you have TO visit it, wear high boots,
and don't forget your gun.

There are two theories in the effort to make the

One is holding out the fear of punishment for doing
wrong and the other hope of reward for doing right
Both have been effective. but think that too much

Punishment, for instance. has not the value in pre-
