CIVIL WAR.
BT ANNETTE BEVAH.'
I wonder if any of my readers are going camping these holidays! Well,, if any of you are so lucky as to belong; to the guides, scouts, etc., here is an exciting game for a crowd of you to play. Two leaders are to be chosen and the company divided in two. They then choose spots about half a mile or a mile distant from each other and hold a consultation. The idea is that the two packs are now enemies. Each leader picks his despatch carrier who has to carry the message into the enemy's camp. Scouts are posted, and it is their duty to try and catch the despatch bearer. Of course neither side know anything about the other's so they often catch one of the scouts, thinking they are the despatch-bearer. Even if the right person is caught, the message cannot always be found, and if, after three minutes, it has not been, they have to let the person continue. Half an hour is tho time usually giv>m for them to reach the rival camps. Yon have no idea how exciting it is among the high itcrub and grass.
