 plague devastated the land. It was during this period that the story of Sir Nigel takes place. #.
 The house of Loring, like many an other noble family, felt the heavy hand of misfortune; for after the Barons' War and lawsuits with Waverly Abbey the men of the church and the men of the law left nothing but the manor of Tilford for the remaining members of the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her grandson Nigel. &s.f..
 Nigel Loring came of a race of heroes, his grandfather having fallen at the battle of Stirling, and his father in the sea fight of Sluys. Nigel, his veins thrilling with the blood of hun dred soldiers, was filled with the de sire for adventure and combat; having been trained at the desire of his grand mother in skill at arms, and courage, he became also daring rider. At times fierce bitterness assailed Nigel at the thought of the wrongs done by the Abbot of Waverly, whom he be- lieved had robbed the Lorings of much of their estate.
 On the first day of May, the Festival of the Apostles Philip and James, con- aernation reigned at the Abbey, when 1t was found that a large pike had eaten the carp in Abbot Johns fish pond.

Tie moves being made in congress

that the people have the measure Of

The trouble with the reds is that in

Ypres to the Alps? And if America
won the war with Germany, hasn't she
been making up for it ever since by
| doing her best to lose her sense Of
| humor?" le
The great outstanding fact that the
war would have been lost by the allies
| If America had not gone TO the rescue
was known by all fair-minded men
long before General Pershing made his
report. 1t was practically acknowl-
edged at the beginning of June, 1918,
when the premiers of Great Britain,
France and Italy, with the approval
OF Marshal Foch. sent President Will
son a message saying that there Is
grave danger of the war being lost UNI
less the numerical inferiority of the
allies can be remedied as rapidly as
possible ana urging him to make
continuous dispatch of infantry and
machine gunners in the months OF
June and July ito avert the immediy
ate danger of an allied defeat in the
present campaign owing to the allied
reserves being exhausted before those
OF the enemy"
American troops were poured into
France, and what was the result? The
tide of battle was changed, as General
Pershing said, and the American
troops precipitated the victorious cul-
mination of the war Here are several
questions and answers for the British
editor then to consider:
When the Hun hordes were on the
road to Paris what stopped them?
The gallant little vanguard of Ameri-
cans.
Who swept through the 'impregna-
BILE" Argonne forest like wildfire?
The American soldiers
What troops were commanding the
heights before Sedan when the war
came to an end2 The American.
What troops went forward, never
backward? The glorious young Amer
leans
What troops made unnecessary a
1919 campaign. for which the British
and French were preparing with few
erish energy? The same glorious
young Americans.
Yes, we admit that Americans are
occasionally boastful, but every time
they are called upon they deliver the
goods"
