The small number of regular officers left behind 200 officers of the Indian Army retired officers, "dug-outs" all honour to them! wounded officers from the Front; all were utilised. But the chief sources of supply, as we all know, were the Officers' Training Corps at the Universities and Public Schools which we owe to the divination, the patience, the hard work of Lord Haldane.
Growther welcomed him back most heartily and with an air of eager expectation, and when Haldane briefly but graphically narrated his experience, he hobbled up and down the room in a state of great excitement.
"Oh!" she exclaimed in a low and almost passionate tone, "I am so glad you have come, for I was almost desperate." "Your father?" asked Haldane very gravely. "He is more quiet, and I try to think he is better, but doctor won't say that he is. Ah, there he is coming now."
Her aunt's words speedily led her to regard Haldane as an "interesting case," a sort of fever patient who was approaching the crisis of his disease. Curling down on the floor, and leaning her arms on her aunt's lap, she looked up with a face full of solicitude as she asked: "And don't you think you can save him? Please don't give up trying." "I like the expression of your face now," said Mrs.
Fallen idols are a perpetual offence to their former worshippers, as they ever remind of the downfall of towering hopes. With all his faults, Haldane had too much spirit to go through life as one who must be tolerated, endured, kept in the background, and concerning whom no questions must be asked.
You must look to strangers solely until you can conform your course to the will of the one you have so greatly wronged. Haldane received this letter on the morning of the day which would again give him freedom. Mrs. Arnot had visited him from time to time, and had been pleased to find him, as a general thing, in a better and more promising mood.
JOHN BURNS, who happily describes himself as "a dormant volcano" has of late found an agreeable stimulant in the performance of solos on the muted first violin. Lastly, Mr. LEO MAXSE keeps himself keyed up to concert pitch by coining new nicknames for Lord HALDANE. The list already extends to four figures. The depôt has decided that Matilda is a notable puppy.
She could scarcely have given Haldane a plain talk on the evils of fast living to save her life, but if she could keep young men from going to destruction by smiling upon them, by games of backgammon and by music, she felt in the mood to be a missionary all her life, especially if she could have so safe and attractive a field of labor as her aunt's back parlor.
Haldane saw that Mrs. Arnot was accompanied by a gentleman, whom in her distress she had not hitherto noticed. The janitor now opened the door, and ushered them into a very plain apartment, used both as an office and reception-room. Mrs. Haldane was so overcome by her emotion that her friend led her to a chair, and continued her reassuring words in a low voice designed for her ears alone: "Mr.
"Perhaps it's because she doesn't want to keep hurting me," he thought it out, "bless her!" Gradually the intimacy between Haldane and his mother for she was quite that to him grew into a relation that was as rare as it was tender. They both felt it keenly. Their talk was all of him, his affairs, his music.
