llo know very well that wluit she
Jmtl sultl about bis daughter nnii Jo
ficph Stagg vvum qulto true. In Ills self
ishness bo had been Klatl all these
years Mint Mio hardware merchant was
balked of happiness.
The carpenter had always been n
self-centered lnd'vldtial, desirous of
his own comfort, and rather miserly.
lie laid not approved, In the first place,
of tinj Intimacy between Joseph .Stngg
mid his daughter Amanda.
"No good'll come o' that," he had
told himself.
That Is, no good to Jedldlah 1'itrlow.
llo foresaw at the start the loss of the
girl's help about the house, for his
iwlfe was then n helpless Invalid.
Then Mrs. Pnrlow died. This death
piodo plainer still to the carpenter
that Maudy'B marriage wns bound to
pbrlng Inconvenience to him. Especial
ly If she married a close-listed young
business man llko Joe Stngg would
Mils bo true. For, at the reading of his
Nvlfe's will Mr. Pnrlow discovered that
ebc property Mioy occupied, oven Mio
hop In which he worked, which had
been given to Mrs. Parlow by her par
ents, was to be tho solo property of
her daughter. Mandy was tho heir.
Mr. Parlow did not possess even a life
Interest lu the estate.
It was a blow to the carpenter, lie
undo n good Income and had monoy
n bank, but ho loved money too well
to wish to spend It after he had niado
It. no did not want to give up the
place. If Mandy remained unmarried
there would never be any question be
tween them of rent or tho like.
Therefore, It ho was not actually tho
cnuso of tho difference that aroso be
tween tho two young people, ho seized
nnd enlarged upon It nnd did nil In
his power to make a more misunder
standing grow Into n quarrel that nei
ther of tho proud, high-splrltcd lovers
Would bridge.
Jedldlah Parlow knew why Jon
Btogg had taken Mint other girl to
Faith camp meeting. Tho yonng mnn
bad Btopped at tho Pnrlow place when
Amanda was absent nnif explained to
(the girl's father. But the latter had
never mentioned this fact to his dnugh
ter.
Instcnd ho had mndo Joe's supposed
offense the greater by suggestion and
Innuendo. And It wns he, too, who
bad urged the hurt Mandy to retaliate
by going to -tho dnnco with nnothor
young man. Meeting Joo Stagg later,
tho carpenter had said bitter things
to him, purporting to come from
Mandy. It was nil mean nnd vile; tho
old man know It now as ho had
known It Mien.
All these yenrs ho had tried to ndd
Fuel to tho lire of his daughter's anger
kgnlnst Joo Stngg. And ho believed
no had bcncllted thereby. But, some
how, during tho past fow months, ho
had begun to wonder if, after nil, "the
Bnmo wns worth tho cnndle."
Suddenly ho hod gained n vision of
What Amanda Pnrlow's empty life
acant to her.
Cnrolyn May, Interested only In see
big' her friends mndo happy, had no
Idea of tho turmoil Eho had created In
Mr. Parlow's mind.
I During tho time Mint tho nurso was
pit tho abandoned lumber camp cnrlng
lor Judy Mnson, Cnrolyn May hoped
that somothlDg might take Undo Joo
(there.
Tho next Frldny, after school was
bnt, Miss Amnndn appeared nt Mio
iBtagg homo and suggested taking Caro
lyn May Into tho woods with her, "for
tho week-end," ns sho laughingly snld.
ttlm, Mio hnckman, had brought tho
nurso homo for a few hours and would
tako her back to Judy's cabin.
"Poor old Judy Is much better, but
sho Is still suffering and cannot bo left
Blono for long," Miss Amnndn said.
Carolyn May will cheer her up."
Mr. Parlow would drive over on Sun
day afternoon aud bring tho little girl
home. Of courso, Prlnco had to go
along.
Thnt Friday evening nt supper mat
tors In Mio big kitchen of tho Stngg
bouse wero really nt a serious pass, Jo
Beph Stngg sat down to tho table visi
bly without appetite. Aunty Roso
drank ono cup of tea after nnother
-without putting a crumb between her
lips.
"Sny, Aunty Roso," demnnded Mr.
fitngg, "what under tho sun did wo do
before Ilnnnnh'a Cnr'lyn cumo hero,
anyway? Seems to mo wo dldu't really
Uve, did wo?"
Aunty Roso had no answer to make
to Micso questions.
In Mio morning Micro wns n smoky
log over everything a fog that the
eun did not dissipate, uud behind
which It looked llko un enormous sat
fron ball.
Mr. Stngg went down to Mio store ns
usual. News came over Mio long-dls-tanco
wires thnt thousands of ucres
of woodland woro burning, that tho for
est reserves woro out, and that tho farm
ers of an entlro township on tho far
Bide of tho mountain wero engaged in
Itrylng to make a barrier over which
the flames would not leap. It wns tho
consensus of opinion, however, Miat
Mio Are would not cross Mio range.
"Scarcely any chance of Us swoop
ing down on us," decided Mr. Stngg.
'-Reckon 1 won't havo to go homo to
'plow flro furrows."
At the usual hour he stnrted for The
Corners for dinner. Having remained
In tho store nil the morning, he had
not realized how much stronger the
smell of smoke wns than It had been
nt breakfast time. Quite Involuntarily
he quickened his pace.
The fog and smoke overcoat the sky
thickly and made It of a brassy color,
Just as though a hugo copper pot had
been overturned over tho enrth. Wom
en stood nt their doors, talking back
nnd forth In subdued tones. Thcro
wns a spirit of expectnncy In the air.
Tim hardware rncrchnut was striding
along nt u quick pnee when he came to
tho Parlow place; but he was not go
ing so fast that he did not hear tho
carpenter hailing him In his cracked
voice.
"IToy, you, Joo Stngg! Hey, youl"
Amazed, Mr. Stagg turned to look.
Pnrlow wns hobbling from tho rear
premises, groaning ut every step,
scarcely able to walk.
"That sciatica's got mo ng'ln," ho
snarled. "I'm n'most doubled up.
Couldn't climb Into a carriage to save
my soul."
"What d'you want to climb Into a
carrlngo for?" demanded Mr. Stngg.
"'Causo somebody's got to go for
that gnl of mine and Uttlo Car'lyn
Mny. Ain't you heard or Is your mind
so sot on makln' money down Micro to
your store Mint you don't know nothln'
else?"
"Huven't I heard what?" returned
tho other with fine restraint, for ho
saw the old mnn wns In pnln.
"Tho Arc's come over to this side. I
saw tho flames myself. And Aaron
He Plunged Forward Leaped the Blaz
ing Brand and Galloped Down the
Road.
Crummlt drove through nnd says that
you can't git by on the mnln rond. The
flro's followed the West Urook right
down nnd Is betwixt us nnd Adams'
old camp."
"Bless mol" gasped the hardware
deulcr, paling under his tan.
"Wnl?" sunrled Parlow. "Coin' to
stand thcro chatterlu' all day, or bo
you goln' to do Boinetiilng?"
"Somebody must get over to that
cabin and bring Miem out," Joseph
Stngg said, without taklug ofTcuso at
tho crabbed old carpenter.
"Wall" exclaimed Parlow, "glad ter
sco you're nwako."
"Oil. I'm awake," Mio other returned
shortly. "I was Just figuring on who's
got Mio best horse."
"I have," snapped' Pnrlow.
"Yes. And I'd decided on taking
Cherry, too," tho hardware dealer add
ed, and swung Into tho Inno toward Mio
carpenter's barn.
"ney, youl Needn't bo so brash
about It," growled tho carpenter, "no'fl
my boss, I s'posc?"
Joseph Stngg went straight ahead,
and without answering. Duvlng onco
decided on his courso, ho wasted no
time.
Ho rolled back tho big door and enw
Cherry already harnessed in his box
stall. Together they backed Mio animal be
tween tho shnfts, fastened tho traces,
and Mr. Stngg leaped quickly to tho
seat nnd gathered up Mio reins.
"You'll haf ter tako the Fallow rond,"
tho carpenter shouted after him. "And
have n care drlvln' Cherry"
Horso and buckbonrd whirled out of
tho ynrd and his volco waB lost to tho
hardware merchant.
Cherry stepped out splendidly, nnd
they left a cloud of dust behind them
ns they rolled up Mio pike, not in the
direction of the nbnndoned camp. Fore
warned, ho did not seek to tnko the
shortest way to Mio cabin where
Amanda Pnrlow and Carolyn May wero
perhaps oven now threatened by Mio
forest fire. Tho Fallow road turned
north from tho plko throo miles from
Tho Corners.
Flecks of foam began to appear on
Cherry's glossy cont almost at onco.
Tho nlr wns very oppressive, and Miero
was no breeze.
Tho stronk of flamo that had fol
lowed down tho banks of Went
s &sk4&Wu

brook moved mysteriously. He could
sco the stuoko of it now. .
Amnndn Pnrlow nnd his nleco mlghl
oven now be threatened by the flames I -
Now that danger threatened the
womnn he had loved all theso years, It
seemed us though his mind and heart
wero numbed. He was terrified be
yond expression terrified for her safe
ty, nnd terrified for fenr Mint some
body, even Jedldlah Parlow, should ,
suspect Just how ho felt about it '
The horse's hoofs rang eharply over
tho stony path. Presently they capped
u little ridge nnd started down Into n
hollow. Not until they wero over the
ridge was Mr. Stngg aware that the
hollow was filled, chokingly filled, with
billowy white smoke.
Another man one as cnutlous ns
tho liardwnro merchant notoriously
wns would havo pulled the horso ,
down to a walk. But Joseph Stngg's
cautiousness had been ilung to the '
winds. Instcnd, he shouted to Cherry,
nnd tho beast increased his stride.
Ten rods further on Mio horso snort
ed, stumbled, nnd tried to stop. A j
wrlMilng, flaming snake n burning 1
branch plunged down through tho
smoke directly ahead.
"Go on 1" shouted Joseph Stngg, with
a sharpness that would ordinarily have
set Cherry off nt a gallop.
But, as the snorting creature still
shied, the man seized Mie whip nnd
lnsbcd poor Cherry cruelly along his
Hank.
At that Mie horse went mad. Ho
plunged forward, leaped the blazing
brand, nnd galloped down tho road nt
n perilous gnlt The mnn tried neither
to soothe him nor to retnrd tho pace.
The smoko swirled around them.
The driver could not sco ten foot be
yond the horse's nose. Ten minutes
Inter they rattled down into tho
straight road, nnd then, very soon,
indeed, wero nt tho nbnndoned camp.
The flro was neur, but It had not
reached this place. There wns no sign
of life about.
The mnn knew which wns Judy's
cabin, no lenpod from tho vehicle,
lenvlng the panting Cherry unhitched,
and ran to Mie hut
The door swung open. The poor
furniture wns In place. TCvcn the bed
clothing wns rumpled In the old worn
nn's bunk. But neither sho nor Amnn
dn Pnrlow nor little Carolyn Muy was
there.
CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Laurel to the Bravo.
Tho heart of the man wns like n
weight In his bosom. WIMi go many
hundred ncres of forest on Are, nnd
that, too, between Mio nbandoned camp
nnd The Corners nnd Sunrise Cove,
how would Amanda Pnrlow and Caro
lyn Mny know where to go?
Certainly tho placo must havo been
deserted in hnste. There was Carolyn
May's coat Tho mnn cnught it up nnd
stnrcd around, ns though expecting the
child to bo within sight
Tho old woman's clothing wns scat
tered about, too. It did not look as
Uiough anything had been removed
from Mio hut. Coming out, he found
nnother nrtlclo 011 Mio threshold one
of Amanda's gloves.
Joseph Stagg lifted Mao crumpled
glovo to his lips.
"Oh, God, spuro her!" he burst forth.
"Spare Miem bothl"
Then he kissed tho glove ugaln nnd
hid it away in Mio Inner pocket of his
vest
Tho hardware dealer tried to think
of Just what tho fugitives might have
done when they escaped from the
cabin.
If It were true that Amanda would
not run townrd the Arc, then bIio more
than likely hud taken tho opposlto di
rection on lenvlng Mie cabin. There

Suddenly ho remembered calling

a mighty shout for tho dog now.
"Prlnco! Prlncey, old boy I where

Agnln and again ho called, but there
was no reply. Tho smoko was moro

every minute. Mr. Stngg renllzcd that
ho must get out quickly if ho would
envo himself and the horse.
Ho had Just etepped into tho buck

nnd a welcoming bark was given.

Tho excited dog flew at him, leaping
on the buckbonrd so as to reach him.
Tho mongrel was delighted, nnd

America Their Only
Hope
By CHARLES J. ROSEBAULT
o 77il Vigilantes
From fnr-nwny Asia comes a cry
for help addressed to the wide world.
It Is 11 cry made up of many voices.
It Issues from the desert lands of
Arabia, from the mountains of the
Russian Caucasus, from the highways
and byways of Turkey, of Mesopo
tamia, of the Holy Laud. The Indi
viduals who make up the great mass
.from which comes this call to the civ
ilized world are scattered far and
wide. It Includes four hundred thou
sand children In towns and cities nnd
villages or hiding like frightened rab
bits In such shelters us they can 11ml
lln the open country; women, most of
them gray and beyond the years of
comeliness, mid others looking from
behind barred windows of the prisons
called harems; old men uud men dis
abled, and a few men still In tiie
prime of life but hidden In mountains
nnd obscure places.
All these are Joining In the cry that
comes to us neross tho fertile lamTs
nnd the deserts of Asia, tho wnr-torn
countries of Europe, the vnst Atlantic
nnd across our own great continent
to the very ends thereof, it Is a sad
cry, an agonized cry, inude up of the
treble of children, the soft voices of
women, the harsh bass of men and,
1 mighty us Is the mass of it, rising
from four million throats, yet has It
the ring of exhnustlon, the frenzy of
desperntlon. To the attentive ear It
says: This Is the end; If help comes
not soon, we will call no more for
tho end will hnve come for us.
America Must Respond.
Particularly Is this appeal directed
to America the one great country
which is prosperous because it en
tered tho war only comparatively re
cently and has had to benr only n
small part of the cost of keeping the
world safe for democrncy. It Is Amer
ica which must respond Immediately
nnd without stint. I.nter on there
will be time to consider fastening this
cost upon the responsible parties In
the form of stern demnnds for repara
tion nnd Indemnity. Thcro Is no time
for considering the call of justice
now. One does not think first of pun
ishing the nssallant when ono sees his
victim bleeding on tho pavement.
If Amerlcn could only vlsunllze the
terrible situation! Hero are four mil
lion victims of Turkish villainy and
brutnllty, under tho guidance of Prus
sian "elllclency." Here are husband
less wives nnd fatherless children.
Never mind the dead men more than
n million of them, at the least. They

Norfolk there Is a triangular piece of
ground belonging to tho people. For
yenrs It stood useless, almost aban
doned, und to n certain extent un-
noticed. Norfolk sent to Franco early
In 1018 a score and a half of her boys
to light with tho American armies,
OMier boys followed and still more In
duo course wero culled from the small
but hardy class represenUng tho light
ing quota.
A fow months after tho llrst contin
gent marched out of tho town on Its
way to the training camp and thenco
to tho lino of battle, Norfolk began to
receive Its share of tidings from the
front. Names of boys known to every
lone In the town were found In tho lists
'of thoso "killed In nctlon." Iloys whoso
faces were bright and shining and
whoso voices were strong and cheery
iwcro never to return. They were lying
T ...
ln the llelds of France, covered with
itho earth of France, nnd over tho
(graves of each stood tho small but
Inoblo cross of wood bearing 11 nitmo

folk Instead of flesh nnd blood that
went awuy, gnvo Norfolk Its Inspira

a tract ot glory. No moro will It bo

On Flng day In tho year that tho
'war made heroes of Mieso lads from
Norfolk Mio peoplo of that placo dedi
cated the point of Mils trlanglo to tho
memory of Mioso who were not to como
bnck from France. At that tlmo four
of Norfolk's boys wero lying In
Franco under cheap littlo crosses of

crosses of wood similar to thoso In
I Franco, with n namo and a dato on

tho point of tho triangle, und there
they will stay until Miey nro perhaps

to heaven for vengjmice, this Is not
tho tlmo for thought of that. We have
done but a poor Jrt In this war If
wo do not help Its helpless victims. ,
And who nro theso victims? Mostly
Christians, like the grent mnjorlty of
Americans Chrlstltins who hnve
been martyrs for their faith; who
could have saved their lives, the lives,
.and the honor of their wives and
daughters, their homes nnd their pros
perity by denying Christ and accepting
Mahomet. They hnve been the most,
Intelligent, the most orderly nnd tho
most Industrious Inhabitants of tho
Ottoman empire. They wero relying
upon the Christians of Europe ariili
America to protect them when tho
avalanche of murderous persecution
burst upon them. They tiro relying
upon Christian America above all to
save their exhausted and starving
remnants now. 1
Thoroughly Organized Appeal.
The chance for tho American to do
his bit towards thwarting the fiend
ish Turco-Pnitjlnn policy of exterm
inating tho Christian Armenians, Sy
rians and Arabs conies In the $:50,00O
000 drive between Jnnuary 12 and 10.
There will be a thoroughly organized
appeal all over tho United States. It
Is supported by thu president and by
the Red Cross. It Is conducted by the
generous and high-minded citizens
who are members of the American
Committee for Armenian nnd Syrian
Relief, and who nro not only donat
ing their time and services but are
seeing to It that every cent donnted
shall reach the actual sulVorera, nil
the expenses of administration being
already provided by private subscrip

American nation to believe that tho
fund will not be promptly secured. It
would be unbelievable that any Amer

HWS NEW
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period of Pros
perity. It Is evident that the Government ot
the Dominion In Its programme of re
construction nnd development Is un
derfilling n work of tremendous Im
portance. There will bo uvallable tho
labor for work that has been silent
since 1014, nnd the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail tho thought nnd
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peaco
will bo rapid nnd thorough, und, In
stead of Canada sinking Into n state
of lethargy, there will be 11 continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his monoy, cfTort
nnd enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities of
the grent Cnnndlan West ppssess Illim
itable acres of the best of soil, capablo
of producing millions of bushels of
the best of grain. The cost of grow
ing this Is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be 11 greater
demand than ever for these hinds, tho
consentient production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattlo
Industry will be one of the chief de
velopments, nnd the encouragement of
It will lie In the continued high prices

In the Canadian West plnns are be

EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected
An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that ono reason why
bo many applicants for insurance arc re
jected is because kidney trouble is so com
mon to tho American people, and the largo
majority of those whoso applications ore
1 declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
1 Judging from reports from druggists
who arc constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is ono preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild aud healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
t We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and wo would ad
vise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
