DEAR KIDDIES,—
When we see our khaki-clad soldier boys march by with fixed | bayoneta and happy smiles, we are justly proud of them. This in the British army of to-day; but armies are by no means modern idea,' In the biblé we hear mention of armies and fighting; Egypt had such an organisation under Scsostic in 1800 B.O..
CORNER
There was proper standing army in England until the reign of William III. In 1891 an Act was passed authoribing a force of 55,000, men and when war broke out new regiments were added; England had 200,000 men in the field during the war of the Spanish Succession.

OUR CONTINUED STORY
THE BALLOON BOY.
"A little garter snake," said Paul. Then he looked at Edwin in suprise."You're not afraid of it, are you?" he asked.
Edwin swallowed hard before he answered.
"No, not exactly afraid, but I don't like it."
"I often pick one up," said Paul.
Of course this boy didn't know anything about the country, but Paul did not like to think that he was a coward. His other friends- Dan and Tommy and Leon-would laugh at him,
+
But they had reached the little oak tree.
"This is
where the balloon
caught," said Paul. "I climbed up and got it from that branch out there."
Through the summer days Paul and Edwin worked and played, tramped and read together. Ed. win's checks were not so pale now, and they were growing rounder He was quick at hoeing and word. ing, and he soon learned to help with the chickens. But every now and that he showed that queer streak of fear..
The day that they played with the other boys in the barn, he wouldn't jump from the big beam into the haymow. When he stood. jup and looked down, his face grow
white, and he shut his eyes.
I can'1" he said.
The other boys looked at each other and began to laugh. Then all at once Paul didn't like their laughing.
"If you hadn't seen any more haymows than Edwin has, maybe you wouldn't care to jump, either," lie said.
(To be continued.)
