Charteris arrived at the links exactly at eleven o'clock , the hour arranged before - hand . Miss Howard - Vance and Miss van Annan were already on the ground , with two caddies in ttendance . The whole scene was so typically prosaic and matter - of - fact , so British , that the clouds which had hung over Charteris's men- tal horizon as he walked along were dissipated at a flash . Away to the right the sea shim- mered in the golden light of the sun , miles upon miles of green and gold , with flecks of white , adding to the enchantment by way of contrast . Other players dotted the landscape . Some sheep were browsing on the uplands . The trio shook hands . I have only come to see you start , Mr. Charteris , " Kose Howard - Vance said . Cap- tain Grennan sent me word this morning that it was not possible for him to be here he told me yesterday it was more than doubtful . It is a good thing , really , for I have a number of letters I ought to write . " She blushed , a pretty colour suffusing her cheeks ; there was little doubt as to the subject and the news which she had to communicate to her friends . My mother and I will join you at lunch in the club - house . Don't quarrel , keep your tempers , and you ought to enjoy a glorious morning . " " I am looking forward to Sylvia laughed . it much , " she said . " I am not in the least afraid that Mr. Charteris will be severe with my failings ; he was . too kind yesterday , to allow me to believe he will be otherwise to day - especially on such a beautiful morning . " " I promise to be on my best behaviour , " Charteris responded . Sylvia proved an expert . With the usual allowances she was able to put Charteris on his mettle to win . He had never enjoyed a game more . It stood out in his memory after- wards , and conferred on golf a new distinction , the distinction of a new experience ; his admiration for his companion and opponent lent a special favour to the exercise . Sylvia was dressed in a blue serge skirt and tight - fitting knitted coat , the simplicity of which set off her petite and graceful form . Charteris found himself wondering if she would look as well in a more elaborate evening frock . at the dance . Flushed with excitement and pleasure mutually appreciative of each other , they turned when the round was finished towards the club - house , which was prettily placed on a terrace , with a carefully - laid - out garden round it , and a flag floating from the turreted roof . " I think the course is perfect , Mr. Char- teris ; difficult enough , yet not too difficult , and so magnificently placed . How pretty club - house is , too . " Charteris was gratified at the admiration . He might have quoted the latin of old . quarum , pars magna fui , " for although he had employed a professional to design the links , and an architect especially skilled in that particular department to plan the club - house , he had advised in the manner throughout , several of the details being entirely his sug- gestion . One of the two , possibly both , regretted that in a few minutes they would form part of a parti carré . Insensibly they slackened their pace , while the caddies went on in front with the golf sticks . Sylvia stopped to admire the seascape . The far horizon was dotted with fishing boats , while the near air was filled with sea - gulls swooping down and dipping into the translucent waves , then rising again , uttering their half melan- choly dirge with perpetual iteration . Charteris turned and looked at his com- panion . Her face had flushed , her eyes large and bright , her lips slightly parted , as she seemed to drink in the salt wind , which was blowing upon them straight from the ocean . Presently he said : " We shall meet again this evening , that is the worst part or the best of a small community , get away from each other . " cannot we " I suppose you men can always plead duty , or make some other excuse , as Captain Gren- nan did this morning ? " You think we might wish to do so ? " She laughed . " I thought it possible . " " Now , I have not the gift of imagination . I could not think of such a thing , in fact . " He added , speaking in a more serious tone , I am looking forward to to - night's dance more than to anything of the kind before . " " Shall I own , " she responded , " that I thought of it the fiust thing when I awoke this morning ? " we were at school . " " That was years ago . She is dead and buried since then ; we have moved along ever so fast of late . " Rose " I am so glad ; they are jolly affairs , as a rule , informal , and conveying a sense of good comradeship . " He seemed to want to add something , something personal , but hardly knew how to put it into words . At length e said : " I hope you will give me as many dances s you can spare , Miss van Annan ? " I shall be pleased to do so , as long as it is quite comme il faut . " She ticked off on " Not so many years , " she protested . is older than I by a few months , and she only her fingers , " Yesterday , out hunting - we lose the field , or the field loses us ; this morning our opponents fail us at the last moment " - she made a little moue- " we are left stranded misfortune number two !

Only a few steps separated them from the stone stairway , cut into the sloping side of the terrace , on which the club - house was built . " Well , you will at any rate give me the supper - dance , and at least two more , if not three " " They must be ingeniously separated from one another . " " Certainly ; let us say the first waltz and the last , and one set of lancers sandwiched between , " " I will bear it in mind , " she said , " and do what I can . " Suddenly Charteris's attention was taken by an object high up in the sky . It was hardly distinguishable either as to shape or direction , but he had no doubt as to what it was .

( Written at the request of the Food Controller ) . The weekly allowance of 3 lbs . of flour , 2 lbs . of meat and lb. of sugar gives about 1,350 calories a day , if all the meat is reckoned as butcher's meat . If two ounces of it is in the form of bacon , the calories are increased to about 1,530 . the cada to use it What are the best foods to use in order to make up the total value to the 2,500 or 3,000 calories which we require ? fuel values of the actual foods we eat . To answer this question we must know the These values depend upon how much protein , fat , starch or sugar each contains . The following list gives the number of calories in an ounce of ordinary foods : - FUEL VALUES OF COMMON ARTICLES Lard Margarine Butter Suet Bacon Oatmeal Pork Sugar Cheese OF FOOD . stewed with carrot , onion , turnip ( 2 oz ) and unpearled barley , 1 oz .; greens , 4 oz .; bread , 1 oz . milk pudding , 5 oz .

The pudding is taken to contain ance for the stewed fruit , and a little for the for each person : rice , oz .; sugar , one tenth of an oz .; milk , 5 oz . This gives , 5 oz . of pudding . The unpearled barley is eaten with the meat instead of potato . There is a fraction of meat to spare , but to balance this a little bacon fat may be used in making the oatcake . If there are tall , aetive men in the house , the diet may be increased by adding : Sardine , Bread , oz . oz . 30 calories . 37 calories .

The chap must have got out of his course , for he appears to be heading for the sea " Sylvia made no response . Charteris was too interested , as an experienced aviator himself , to notice her silence . In a few moments he exclaimed : There goes the Swift ! The Admiral's squadron must have been signted from the look - out . ought to see it come round the corner of the headland in a few minutes . " Nuts Plums Herring 7 * 192W THE SUBMARINE MENACE . MR .
