"father" of a family of 1,000 men with 60 oil officers as

Quite contrary what one might think, I am not as uhl as Methusalahouly 83, as a matter of fact I am also a bachelor. Poverty is another of my assets.

Look for the Dale Trade-dark; it is a quart of scenes and bar, The Fock Spring the
on active servies for fighting par- OMNIAA poses, but battles only take up a small part of our time. They are rather an inconvenient combina- tion for a Commanding Officer when imitating Solomon at the morning "Orderly Room," but, like the proverbisi eel during the sinning process, one gets used to it
Hoary sinners proved guilty of "Absent without leave." "Drunk- enness," or
the Conduct to prejudice of good order and military discipline," are easily disposed of, but after them come the character studies who want to be "para led before the Comm- manding Officer."
The sergeant-major saluted an said: "Sir, Private Moore wishes to be paradei. He has received permission from Captain S―."
"Very well, sergeant-major," I replied, and wonderes casually who Private Moore might be before he was a private, and also what my poverty, youth, and worldly inexperience could do to meet his case, whitever it might "be.
Private Moore walked in suart- ly, salute, and stood at attention. fle was apparently about ten years my junior and I therefore felt capable of telling him any- thing he wanted to know.
"Sir," said Private Moore. "I wish to be married, and I under- stand that I require the consent of my Commanding Officer."
"Quite right, Moore." I se sured him. "Have you got all The necessary decuments? You require a statement from the pay- master as to your balance and a certificate as to the character of "your wife."
He produced satisfactory do cuments, and now the onus of giving consent was thrown on I ponderel deeply. Here, trie. no donbi, was a case of romantic attachment where a young and penniless Canadian llier on leave had met an equally young and penniless English girl with a greater capacity for romance than for cooking.
