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

is ill. During her nhsenee Claude joins

In Ernest llavel and l.eannrd Dawson,
young Nebraska farmers living near

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

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:

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. That sort ,<>f a—
compromise would make you awfully
unhappy. I know."
“I don't think I shall ever marry
Bayliss." Gladys spoke In her usual
low, round voire, but her quick
breathing showed he had touched
something that hurt. "I suppose 1
have usen into it gives » V d
teacher a certain prestige if people
think site can marry the rich bachelor
of the town whenever she wants to
Hut I am afraid I won't marry iiim
because you are the member of the
family I have always admired.”
Claude turned away to the window
"A lln" lot I've been to admire," he
muttered. /
"Well, it’s true, anyway It was
like that when we went to High
School, and it's kept up. 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. Anyhow,
