"I suppose I do.” said Dalle slowly, and then added with spirit. "Yes, and by George one might well' be- lieve in worse things!"

"Mr. Havelock on the other hand," the General oontinued suave- ly. "believes in nothing. I know students so well. We have suffered much in China from their activities. They prefer to flounder in a mor- ass of scepticism. and to drown in a slough of melancholy. rather than to live happily by believing in I few dull but simple platitudes. Mr. i-lavelock is still in mind a student, except that he no longer studies. He remains I bay-but your country and mine share the proverb that in the boy you see the man. He is amiable. but he is not practical. He is clumsy. He lacks dignity. I can neither respect him as a friend, nor admire him as an enemy-as I do you. Mr. Dale."

”1'hank youi" said Leslie.

"I CANNOT TRUST Elli"

"Ycu are like your Navy, in -which you believe." the General went on. "If you say you will shoot, you will shoot. If you tell me it will be to my advantage at to loot Tan Fu, you will make good your words. Mr. I-Iavelock is like your politici- ans. He draws a pistol, and then shakes his finger. His words are in- calulable. I cannot trust him." Leslie sat up.

"I certainly mean what I say now. General."

"That is so." Wu agreed. He lighted one of his thin Russian cigarettes and blew smoke luxuri- ously through his nostrlls. "I have read your Kipling, Mr. Dale. Men like Kipling, and like you won and held the East for your country. You

are a foreign devil and an oppres- sor of my country. But we can un- derstand each other."

Leslie Dale got avwlcwardiy to his feet. tiso long as we do," he said. "l.ll8lfS all right. You will agree formally to Mr. l-favelock's terms,

"Mr. Havelock should be grateful to you, Mr. Dale."

"His gratitude leaves me cold!" "It is an attribute of the superior marl," smiled Wu. "Even lambs. we say in China, have the grace to suck kneeling."

"All I want is for him to go-and with colours flying!" said Leslie. The General: unvarying politeness

reservcir of proverbs were begin- nlng to get on his nerves, row as they were from the strain of the previous night. i "He will be wise to go." Wu was saying quietly. "Flor he who re- iiounces fame has no sorrow-"

He broke cff as Gerald re-enter- ed the room. He was shaved and dressed, and except for his white strained face looked almost normal. He looked round for sheila. and drew a breath of relief to see that she was not there,

"How are you. Dale?" he said. casually. "I apologize for keeping you waiting. I suppose that your coming like this means that we can reopen yestei-day's discussion?" "That is so," said Wu, sllglhtly in- cllning his hear.

Gerald clenched his fists.

”You must understand." he said. "that I don't budge an inch from what I said before. I'm prepared to meet force with force if you persist mg"

"My dear Gerald." Leslie inter- rupted hurriedly, for he did not like what he imagined he saw in the General's eyes at the th-eat. "the General is ready to come to an ar- rangement."

"Oh. is he?" And with the wind thus taken out if his sails. Gerald felt staggered, hardly knowing what to do next.

He glanced from the General to Leslie Dale.

"Before I do anything else silly." he stemmered on, "I think I'd bet- fer give you ithia-"

These 'un- portations were invaluable at all seasons, but we must, be specially grateful for the variety of amaz- ing winter-flowering plants that have thrived in the British lite and folklore and that are avail- able today. ,

T I '0 9

Most of the splendid plants Lhat are now established in Britain to dheer us with their winter bloom are comparatively recent intro- dllM3l:'lDl1S. They come from all parts of the world where the weather is somehow comparable in our own. Some of them are ac- oustomcd to a much colder season than the British winter and mis- taking its clemency for spring, they burst delightfully into bloom in our duiiest months. These plants require a sheltered position in our gardens where their premature blossoming is not spoiled by our hard frosts.

crumpled like an empty sack, and dropped to the floor. Wu snapped out an order in Chinese to his guards, who withdrew in tactful sil- ence. when he turned round Leslie Dale had picked Gerald up bodily in his arms. and Sheila I-Iavelcck. white to the lips, was standing in her bedroom doorway.

withcut a word Leslie carried Gerald past her. and laid him on her bed. He lay quite still. his eyes closed. an ominous dark stain spreading througih his shirt and over the breast of his jacket.

sheila, her face distorted with horror. stood helplessly with her back to the door. There was no- thing for her to do. Dale was ef- fecting the necessary bandaglng with his usuali quiet efficiency.

In the sitting-room General Wu stood, and stroked his moustache.

"This." he murmured, "la 5 most unfortunate occurrence."

"It's worse than that," said Lesllc

Wu.

"He's dead," raid Leslie grimly.

"Ah!" Wu direw his breath sharp- ly. "Phat man of mine is a good shot."

Dale strode up to him and faced him full.

ASSORTED COLOURS

Muoh excitement greets any brightly coloured bird courageous enough to put in an appearance at this cold. snowy time of year. when Canada's bird population is at its lowest. The sunny south has at- tracted the vast majority of birds born here during summer heat;

inconspicuous kinds. Even the male Goldfinch is no longer yellow, but I greyish green. Birds breeding in the far north that spend the winter in settled Canada are pretty we.l camouflaged to suit the climate: it is difficult to spot a snow Bunting in its white costume splotched with black and tan.

At any season. brown predomin- ates, for the large Sparrow family must be included, besides Thi-ushes. Wrens. Brown Thrashers, Ami Brown Creepers. Qpite a number of Canadian birds are black and white, as several species of Woodpecker, a. Warbler. and a Chickadee. Grey is a favourite colour here too. as the Catbird, the Chimney Swift, the Slate-coloured Juncc, and some vireos. The fact is. our birds are not usually as brilliant as those founzl in the tropics.

How glad we are when the sea- son for the return of the Warblers comes around! Not only are they vary coloured, but are marked con- spicuclisly and interestingly, one with splashes of yellow on a grey and white background. another with flame-colour patches cin black plumage. Blue. chestnut. orange, green .. few -with any one solid colour -- these sprightly little jewels of Birdiand are a joy to the e

the gorgeous Scarlet Tanager, the ha " Grosbeaks. Rose- breasied in his wonderful black and white suit. And Evening in attrac- tive yellow. black, and white. the vivid cranga and black Baltimore Oriole the bright blue black, and white plaid Blue Jay, the colour- ful Cardinal.

The iridescence in the green of use tree Swallow and the tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird, in the blue of the Bluebird. Indigo Bunting, and Burn swallow, in that mixture of green and purple of the Grackle - all these are not just I pleasure to the eye. but I marvel.

How do such beautiful colours come about? Even the scientists find that difficult to answer. They say browns. yellows, reds, and blacks are due to the colouring matter. or "plgment", in the vane of each feather. But blue. and near- ly all green feathers contain brown- ish pigment in a little case, beneailh which lies a layer of conclike prisms that catch and change the brown to blue or green. Do Woodpeckers migrate?
