(ConOmiml from Vfilrnliiy.) SI NOPSIS. Claude Wheeler, son of a Nebraska rnnehrr, ftiul* no reallsallon of Ills dreams in life wedded to Enid Koyee, religiously relit, daughter of Jason Koyee, Frankfort. Neb., miller. she after year and half with him goes to China, where her younger sister, I sroline, a missionary is ill. During her nhsenee Claude joins the uriny officer's training ramp, t laudr Itnd three years In small denominational eollege, in IJneoln. While there he he roine friend of Erlich family, motherly widow.- with five sons. Claude hns friends In Ernest llavel and l.eannrd Dawson, young Nebraska farmers living near Wheeler pmperty on which < lauile built a home for Ms bride. He has elder hrolhrr. Ilayliss, in business in Frankfort. Ill* father, Nat, and his younger brother, Itnlph. His mother is prideful of her sons, t Inode is home on leave from comp In the cast, he was met at the station by his family and whisked away from an admiring group about Ihe station among Which was Jason Koyee. After breakfast Mr. Wheeler took Claude out to the fields, where Ralph was directing the harvesters. They watched the binder for r while, then went over to look at the haystacks j and alfalfa, and walked along the edge of the cornfield, where they ex amined the young ears. Mr. Wheeler explained and exhibited the farm to Claude as if he were a stranger: the boy had a curious feeling of being now formally Introduced to these acres on which he had worked every j summer since ho was big enough to ‘ carry water, to the harvesters. Ills father told him how much land they owned, and how much It was worth,' and that it was unencumbered ex cept for a trifling mortgage he had given on one quarter when he took over the Colorado ranch. “When you come back." he said, “you and Ralph won't have to hunt around to get Into business You'll both be well fixed. Now you'd better go home by old man Dawson's and drop in to see Susie. Everybody about here was astonished when Iieonaid went.” He walked with Claude to the corner where the Daw son land met his own. “By the way," he said as he fudged back, “don't for get to go in to sec the Yoedcrs some time. Hub Is pretty sore since they had him up in court. Ask for the old grandmother. You remember she | never learned any English. And now they've told her it's dangerous to talk German, she don't talk at all and hides away from everybody. If 1 go by early in the morning, when she'n j out weeding the garden, she runs and squats down In the gooseberry bushes till I'm out of sight." Claude decided he would go to the Y Oerters' today, and to the Dawsons'; tomorrow . He didn't like to think j there might lie hard feeling toward i him in a house where lie had had so many good time*, and .w here he had often found a refuge when thing* were dull at home. The Yoeder boys had a music-box long before the days of victrolas, and a magic lantern 1 and the old grandmother made won j derfui shadow pictures on a sheet, i and told stories' about them. .She used to turn the map of Europe upside J down on the kitchen table and j showed the children how. in thi* position, it looked like a Jung | frau: and recited a long German rhyme which told how Spain was the , maiden's head, the Pyrenees her lace i uff, Germany her heart and bosom. England and Italy were two arms and Russia, though it looked so big, I was only a hoopskirt. Thi* rhyme' would prohably be condemned as dan gerous propaganda now! As he walked on alone. Claude w as I thinking how this country that had! once seemed little and dull to him. j now seemed large and rich In variety During the month* In camp he had' been wholly absorbed in new work' and new friendships, and now his own nelghla rhood came to him with 'he freshness of thing* that have; been forgotten for a long while,— ! came together before his eyes as n harmonious whole. lie was going away, and he would carry the whole countryside In hia mind, meaning more to him than' It ever had before. There wan Lovely Creek, gurgling on down there, where he and Bluest used to sit and lament that the book of History was finished; that the world had come to avaricious old age and noble enterprise was dead for ever. But he waa going away. . . . That afternoon Claude spent with his mother. It was the first time sh-* had him to herself. Ralph wanted terribly to stay and hear his brother talk, but understanding how his mother felt, he went back to the wheat field. There was no detail of Claude’s life in camp so trlval that Mrs. Wheeler did not want to hear about It. She asked about the mess, the cooks, the laundry, as well as about his own duties. She made him describe the bayonet drill and explain the operation of machine guns anJ automatic rifles "I hardly see how we can hear the anxiety when our transports begin to sail,” she said thoughtfully. “If they can once get you all over there. 1 am not afraid; I believe our boys are as good a* any In th<j world. wiirr submarines reported off our own coast. 1 wonder how the government can, get our men across safely. The thought of transports going down with thousands of young men on board Is something so terrible—” she put her hands quickly over her eyes. Claude, sitting opposite his mother, wondered what it was about her hands that made them so different from any others he had ever seen. He had always known they were dif ferent, hut now he must look closely and see why. They were slender, and always white, even when the nails were stained at preserving time. Her fingers arched back at the joints, as if they were shrinking from con tacts. They were restless, and when she talked often brushed her hair or her dress lightly. When she was ex cited she sometimes put her hand to her throat, or felt about the neck of her gown, as if she were searching for a forgotten brooch. They were sensitive hands, and yet they seemed to have nothing to do with sense. io lie almost like the groping fingers of a spirit. "How do you boys feel about it?" Claude started. "About what. Mother? Oh. the transportation' We don't worry about that It’s the gov ernment's job to get up aerosp. A soldier mustn't worry about anything except what he's directly responsible for. if the Germans should sink a few troop ships. It would be unfor tunate. certainly—but it wouldn't cut any figure in the long run. The Brit ish are perfecting an enormous dirigible, built to carry passenger*. If our transports are sunk it will only mean delay. In another year the Yankees will be flying over. They can't stop us ' Mrs Wheeler bent forward. "That must be boys' talk. Claude Surely you don't believe such a thing could be practicable?' "Absolutely. The British aie de pending on their aircraft designers to do just that if everything else fail*. Of course, nobody knows yet how ef fective the submarines will be in our case." Mrs Wheeler again *1 aded her eyes*with her hand. "When I was young hack In Vermont. 1 used to wish that I had lived in the old times when the world went ahead by leaps and bounds And now I feel as if my sight couldn't bear the glory that lieats upon it. It seems a* if we would have to be born with new faculties to comprehend what is go ing on in the air and under the sea." CHAPTKR XI f The afternoon sun was pouring in Illinois Central System and the Great Port of New Orleans Every citizen of the Mississippi Valley should be familiar with the natural port of this incomparable territory—the great and rapidly growing port of New Orleans. The dedication May 5 of the magnificent $20,000,000 Industrial Canal and Inner Harbor recently completed at New Orleans focuses attention upon the advantages enjoyed by this port. The Industrial Canal connects the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain and fur nishes the final link in almost completely encircling the city with a deep water harbor. Through itself and laterals that can be extended into property now undeveloped, the new canal adds about eleven miles to the deep-water frontage of the port. On the basis of Government figures covering ports of the United States for the calendar year 1921, the latest official statistics available, the port of New Orleans is second only to that of New York in the total tonnage and the total value of exports and imports and the total net tonnage of shipping engaged in foreign trade. The following commercial statistics are illustrative of the growth of the port of New Orleans: Tonnapp. Kxporta: 1914. 3,580,737 1922. 5,187,715 Imports: 1914. 1,472,323 1922. 4,912,358 Total: 1914. 5,053,060 1922. 10,100,073 Value. $180,832,746 353,457,92 1 79.876,065 129,340.449 260,708,811 482.798.373 The superior advantages of its location, coupled with its excellent facilities, make it certain that the port of New Orleans will continue to grow in keeping with the industrial and agricultural development of the Mississippi Valley. It is the nearest large American port to Latin America; it is best located for access to the Orient through the Panama Canal, and, considering joint rail ami water distances, it is the port of closest contact between the Mississippi Valley and foreign ports of both hemispheres. Ten miles of docks along the waterfront afford ample facilities for hnndling cargo at rhipside. The port is supplied with warehouses, grain elevators, coal tipples and other mechanical freight-handling facilities. Ninety-four steamship lines operate between New Orleans and the foreign ports of the world, and eleven trunk line railroads connect the port with the interior. The people of New Orleans have planned with vision and are build ing with care, to the end that the now rapidly developing north and south movement of commerce may find there the most efficient and adequate facilities for its handling. The Mississippi Valley, of which New Orleans is the natural port. Includes in its watershed twenty-seven states, containing 55 per cent of the country's population and producing 70 per cent of the country's ex portable products. The Illinois Central System has a network of more than 6.000 miles of lines radiating from New Orleans throughout the heart of this fertile territory. The port of New Orleans is a groat asset to the region served by the Illinois Central System. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, t President, Illinois Central System at the hark window* of Mrs. Farm er's long, uneven parlour, making the dusky room look like a- cavern with a fire at one end of it. Tiro furniture was all In It* cool, liguied summer cretonnes. The glass flower vane* that stood about on little tables caught the sunlight and twinkled like tiny lamps. Claude hail been sitting there for a long while, and he knew he ought to go. Through the yundow at his elbow he could see rows of double hollyhocks, the flat leaves of the sprawling catalpa, and the spires of the tangled mint bed, all trans parent in the gold-powdered light. They had talked about everything but the thing he had come to say- As he looked out into l he garden he felt that he would never get it out. There was something in the way the mint bed burned and floated that made one a fatalist afraid to meddle. But after he was far away, he would regret; uncertainty would tease him like a splinter in his thumb. He rose suddenly and said without apology: "Gladys, I wish I could feel sure you'd never marry my brother." She did not reply, but sat In her easy chair, looking up at him with a strange kind of calmness. “1 know all the advantages." he went on hastily, “but they wouldn't make It up to you.

Everything you do always seems exciting to me.” Claude felt a cold perspiration on his fon head. kie wished now that he had never come "But that's it, Gladys What have I < ver done, ex cept make one blunder after another?" She came over to the window and stood beside him. "I don't know; perhaps it's by their blunders that one gets to know people—by wt- r. they can't do If you'd been like all the rest, you could have got on In their way. That was the one thing I couldn't have stood." Claude was frowning out into the flaming garden. He had not heard a word of her reply. "Why didn t you keep me from making a fool of my self?” he ask'-d in if low voice. "I think t tried—once.
