"It wasn't we who defeat- ed the .Spanieth Armada, he has discovered, but the Russians." • • « "The English ahipa were made ot Kussian wood," he has juat told the world.

Russia made It poeaible for the English fleet to defeat the Armada." • • « Are you sura, Proiaasor? eom- anenta the writer, the* the winning adiniirHl' s name wasn't PrancisJcy Drakeovitch? » • • From there, Mr. Webster goes on to deal with some more recent pieces of stone-throwing. "Not by any means so smusing has been the attitude recently displayed to- ward us by Bea Hogan, non-pl«y- tng captain ot the Amerlcao pro- lessional goU team wM«h same •ver here In Septeotber.

(In case you don't happen to know, ew remember. Miss Marti is nine years old and is widely billed •• The Wonder-Child Preacher). "No matter what I ate," commented Renee, speaking of her experiences in Britain; "it did not fill me up. Their ice cream is terrible. I did not like their candy. The people are threadbare and shabby!" ♦ • -.

But surely the two sportsmen should have had tome Inkling of what has been going on in these isles in the last 10 years. As an American, Hogan may be largely forgiven for his ignorance, and to may Perry, for he haj long been a United Stiites citizen. • * * The fact is that the average American has very little apprecia- tion of the ftntdamental causes of Britain's present plight, nor does he realize tht tremendous strain to wihioh all our resources including golf courses and tennis courts) were aubjeicted during the war, two years of which we endured before the United States was forced into the conflict. * ♦ * Mr. Websiter explains that this lack of appreciation is not due to ktidifferencc, and that the average American is well disposed toward the people of Britain. ♦ ♦ * "It la largely because the facts about Britain are either kept from, or distorted into falsehood. When the instalments of Winston Church- ill's second war book, "Their Fiiv- est Hour," appeared in the Daily Telegraph, we were given the com- parative figures of British and American casualties. The magaaine, Life, which holds the United States fights for Mr. Churchill's memoirs, •at out those iigurse. Life's sditor •pared his readers the knowledge that, la proportion to the two na- tions' population, Britain lost twi«« •s nutny fighting men aa did the Unitad States..

Chink In The Armour A Iboet Story bf Cl a » s There waa a lsg«t4 in the remote 9u«seK Tilkags of Cateaty. It w«« known throughoat tiM length aa4 breadth of the country â€" and, kideed fsrvher afieldâ€" the legend of Lady Catesby of Catesbv Manor, a la«lgr bountiful par excellence. .'Vnd now, though she was dead, the legend would never die. It seemed to Martin Gregory, wandering son of the village, that nothing had changed since he had left many years before. Even the tramp whom he and Bill Daley, the factor's son, had christened Sunny Jim, was sitting there by the lodge gates in his dirt and his happiness, cooking a stew identical with the horrible concoctions he had brewed all those years ago when Martin and Bill had been lads together. But now the estate had passed to the National Trust and the long line of the t'atesbys was finished. It was Willi a kind of melancholy pride that liill Ualey led the first party of visitors from the gate- house, up the drive, and in through the great main doorway. For a moincnt, .Martin Gregory stood and watched. Then he glanced at .Sniiny Jim, wlio stared back. It wasn't often Jim spoke, but the happiness whicli glowed from him needed no words. Xow lie spo'^e slowly, as if his voice were an instrument rusty through lack of use. "I'd go, too, if 1 was you, sir," he wheezed. "N'ice to 'ear tell 'bout 'er Lailysliip." Martin grinned at him. ".Ml right, I will. It's years since I've been in these parts. I thought I'd like to see the leaves before they fell. Sentimental, I suppose." He paid bis money at tlie gate- house, took his ticket, and crept into the great hall as Bill Daley was warming to his theme. Some whim prompted him to keep in the background of the party where he wouldn't be noticed. ".•\nd that, ladies and genilenen," Bill was saying, "is the portrait of Lady Catesby herself, painted a short time, before she died." The party lifted tis eyes from the fireplace with its armorial bearings to the picture above, and stared in reverent ^silence at the painting â€" of a woman somehow lacking in humanity. The famous artist had succeeded in showing no more than he had been able to dis- cover â€" a beautiful, empty shell. ".She was a very wonderful wom- an," Bill went on. "The village will never forget her." There was an expression of devotion on his face. Ths almost trance-like look was now reflected io the eyes of his listeners. I'hey, too, had read of the legend in their newspapers. As Martin listened, the old spell began to fall on him. It was true, every word of it â€" the houses she bed built in the Tillage, t)ha well- equipped schoolhouse, the priss herds, the famous beech woods, the model farms. And yet, it seemed there was more happiness in tike grimy face of the old traimp â€" the proverbial poor man at the gate â€" than in that of Irene, Lady Catesby. But H there were doubts in Mar- tin's mind, there were none in Bill's. Hs, Uke Martin, had been througAi the war, b«t it seemed to have left him untoudhed, as if ia ths core of his .beinf there still remained this vision, tmis faith in a legend. Then he directed his hearers' gaae towards the picture which hung be- side that of Lady Cateeby, of Rog- er, her huaband. Hera, too, waa perfection. A beautiful love story, cut short by the death of his lord- ship. He was drowned on his way to join an expeditioa to free some obscure European country from the yoke of another. Bill Daley's geography was as unreal as his grasp of life, but there was no mistaking his sincerity ss he told a story of deathless gal- lantry. The audience sighed nostalgical- ly. Not even Hollywood had con- ceived anything like this. .\nd now it focussed its gazed on the next portrait, of young Jeremy Catesby, their only son. And here, again, was that lustre of heroism; for he had lost his life on a climbing ex- pedition In Africa. It was then, as Bill's voice went on eulogizing, that Martin's clear itoctor's brain began to question. Why had young Jeremy â€" whom he had known as a quiet, gentle lad, a bookworm at heart â€" gone off into a dark continent that could have held no attraction for him, and died In a test of physical endurance for wliic+i he was utterly unsuited? Aai more strangely stiH, witaf •ItouM this father, a sonventionil Kn«lish gantteman, have sacriAs«d himself in a oause which sould not hsve touched him in the very leastt What was the chink in ths ar- nior? Why was it that somehow the story seemed to ring false. As Martin went over the Ivouae, he was again caught and held by ths spell, and his imagination was still dazzled when, at the end of the tour, he went up to Bill and made himself known. "It's grand to see you here still, old man," he said, warmly. "I re- member how you loved the old place." Bill gripped his outstretched hand. "Gosh, Martin Gregory, by all that wonderful! Yes, it was a bit of luck being kept on here. It's meant so much to me." "I read about the estate being taken over, and I felt I'd like to see the beech woods again," Martin told him. "I've ilreamed of 'em in the most outlandish places." Hill smiled understandiiigly. 1 lien his voice filled with emotion. "It's a year almost to the day since her Ladyship died. But it doesn't seem possible she isn't with us still, there are so many signs of her goodness everywhere." The two men walked slowly down to the gatehou.s •. where an- other party of .sightseers was be- ginning to collect. "It seems as if we were still kids together, you and I and young Jeremy," Bill continued. "Such a tra.£;edy he went, too. But then. It was a fitting end lor a Catesby." He lit his pipe and pointed. "Kven old Sunny Jim's here to wel- come you! Queer how he turns up every autumn. Remember how he'd always arrive in time to see the leaves turn? Then he'd dis- appear again." He laughed awk- wardly. "I e.xpect it was only co- incidence, really. You'd hardly ex- p<ct a tramp to care." "\o, hardly," Martin agreed. When the last of the visitors had gone and Martin had supped with Bill in his quarters at the manor, he sauntered down to the gatehouse before turning in, for a last look at the house in rhe evening light. .Sunny Jim was still sitting there, and Martin held out a plug of to- bacco to him. "Guesa you'd rather have a chew than smoke," he said, with a grin. The tramp took the tobacco and stowed it away in some dingy inner recess. He pointed up to the trees. "Kinder pretty," he remarked. Martin nodded. Then, impulsively he said, "The.\ 're lovely, too, in winter, when they're bare. You'd like 'em. I e.xpect things'U loo.sen up a bit now her Ladyship's gc>ne. Maybe you could find yourself a corner somewhere around, where you'd be snug and dry. There's a gamekeeper's shack in the wocida that haan't been used for years, so Mr. Daley tells me." Sunny Jim's face broke into a delighted grin, showing broken teeth. "It's an idea, sir," he said. "I'm sure 'er Ladyship wouldn't hove approved, but now, 1 guess I'll give it a try." Then something flashed into, Martin's mind â€" suddenly, like a voice apeaking that wasn't his own. He swung open the gates and with a gesture that was in no way Ironic, he nwrpt oflf his hst. anil said^ "Welcome home, my Lord!" For a moment the tramp regard- ed him without a blink. Then with dignify, he collected his few ludic- rous belongings and moved slowly througili the gates. When he spoke, his voice had changed. "She was a maniac for perfection was Irene," he muttered. "And in the end, it would have driven me mad. I suppose the boy couldn't stand it either. .She was never meant for this world. She'a much better suited where she's gone." Now there was i ghost of a smile on his wcatherbeaten face. "I tried to keep away, all those years. Hut â€" it was the beech woods that drew me hack. 1 loved "em, yon know â€" always *hall. He raised his battered hat in salutation. There was moi.sture in Martin's eyes as hs watched him go up ths drive towards the gamekeeper's shack. But why should there be? He had his beloved woods to add to ths precious treasure of freedom j^nd independence. Ths last of the Calsabvi was home . . .
