THEM Kazan caught the scent and he
law the shadowy nguro coming through
the starlight. Ho trlcil to drag himself
back, but ho could move only.hy Inches.
Thoiman came rnpldly nearer. Kazan
caught the glisten of the rlflo in hla hand.
He heard his hollow cough, and the tread
' of his feet In the snow. Gray Wolf
crouched shoulder to shoutdcr with him.

ricrro had approached within CO feet of
them she shrank back Into tho deeper
ifiadows of the spruce.
Kazan's fangs wcro bared menacingly
when I'lcrro stopped and looked down at
htm. With nn effort ho dragged himself
Jo his feet but fell back Into tho snow
aealn Tho man leanca his rlflo against
n Mpllng nnd bent over him fearlessly.
With a fierce growl Kazan snnpped at his
extended hands. To his surprtso the man
did not pick up n stick or a club. He
held out his hand ugaln-cautlously-and
sfaoko In a voice new to Kazan. Tho
dog snapped ngaln and growled.
Tho man persisted, tnlklng to htm all
tho time, and onco his mlttcncd hand
touched Kazan's head and escaped beforo
tho Jaws could reach It.
Again and ngaln tho man reached out
his hand, anil three times Kazan felt
tho touch of It, nnd thero was neither
threat nor hurt In It. At last I'lcrro
turned away and went back over tho
When ho wns out of sight and hearing,
Kazan whined, and tho crest along his
eplno flattened. Ho looked wistfully .to
ward tho glow of the lire. Tho man had
not hurt him. and tho three-quarters of
him that wns dog wanted to fpllow.
Gray Wolf came back, nnd stood with
stiffly planted forefeet nt his side. Sho
had never been this near to man before,
except when the pack had overtaken the
sledgo out on tho plain. Slio could not
understand. Kviry Instinct that was In her
warned her that he wns tho most danger
ous of all things, moro to bo feared than
the strongest beasts, the htorms.'tho floods,
cold and starvation. And yet this man
had not harmed her mate. Sho sniffed
' "nt Kazan's back nnd head, where the
mlttcncd hand had touched. Then she
trotted back Into tho darkness again, for
beyond tho edge of tho forest sho onco
moro saw moving life.
Tho man was returning, and with him
was tho glrj. Her volco was soft and
sweet, and thero was about her tho
breath and sweetness of woman. The
man stood prepared,' but not threatening.
"Bo careful, Joan." ho warned.
Sho dropped on her knees In tho snow,
Just out of rench.
"Come, boy come!" sho said gently.

GOOD-NIGHT TALK
Once upon a time thero was a man and ho bought a very expensive watch
and ho said to himself, "Now I can always be on time, for I have a watch
that MUST keep time, for I spent a lot of money for it." N
Ono day the man's watch stopped nnd ho was vjry much surprised. He
looked at it and wondered what codld bo the matter!NHe thought that if ho
paid a lot of money for a watch it ought not to stop tmfoway. So ho called
a boy and sent him to tho jeweler's with the expensive watcu.
Now, what DO you think the jeweler did? Do you suppose he took tho
Watch all to pieces and charged the man four or five dollars?
No, he simply told tho boy to wait a minute whilo tho jeweler wound
the expensivo watch up and then set it.
He sent word to tho owner of tho watch that all it needed was winding.
From this we may learn to use our thoughts and to STAY WHERE
WE ARE.
The first thing to do when you are worried, upset and don't know what to
do is to STAND STILL. If our good friend had just stoodstill it would
havo occurred to him that tho watch might have run down and that all he
had to do was to wind it, but he got excited and bothered tho boy and also
the jeweler. Tho simplest thing you can do to a watch is to wind it up.
When in doubt, do tho simplest thing. Look in your pocket first beforo
you go all the way b'rick to school to find your knife or pencil.

toward her. Thero was tha old light In,
her eyes nnd face now, the lovo and
gentleness ho had known once before,
when another woman with shining hair
nnd eyes had como Into his life. "Comal"
she whispered, ns sho saw him mqve,
and sho bent n little, reached a little
farther with her hand, nnd nt last touch
ed his head.
Tlerro knelt besldo her. Ho was prof
fering something, and Kazan ?mclled
meat. But It was tho girl's hand that
made him tremblo nnd shiver, and when
sho drew back, urging him to follow her,
ho dragged himself painfully a foot or
two thiough the snow. Not Until then
did tho girl see his mangled leg.
In nn instant sho had forgotten all cau
tion and wns down closo at his side.
"Ho, can't walk," she cried, n sudden
tremble In her voice. "Look, mon pcro
Hero Is n terrlblo cut. Wo must carry
him."
"I guessed that much," replied Itadls
son. "For that reason I brought the
blanket. Mon Dlcu, listen to thatl"
From the darkness of tho forcU there
camo n low wnlllng cry.
Kazan lifted his head nnd a trembling
whlno nnswered In his throat. It wns
She dropped on her knees in tho
snow, just out of reach.
Gray Wolt calling to him.
It was n miracle that Pierre Itadlsson
should pUt tho blanket about Knzan and
carry him Into tho camp without scratch
or bite. It wns this miracle thnt ho
achieved, with Joan's arm resting on
Kazan's shaggy neck ns she held ono end
of tho blanket. They laid him down closo
to tho fire, and nfter n llttlo it was tho
man ngaln who brought warm water and
washed away the blood from tho torn
leg, nnd then put something on It thnt
was soft and warm nnd soothing, and
finally bound a. cloth about It.
All this wns strungo nnd new to Knzan.
Pierre's hand, as well as tho girl's,
stroked his head. It was tho man who
brought him a gruel of meal nnd tallow
and urged him to cat, whllo Joan snt with
her chin fn her two hands, looking at tho
dog and talking to him. After this, when
ho was (Ulte comfortable, nnd no longer
nfrnld, ho heard n strango small cry from
tho furry bundle on the sledgo that
brought his head up with a Jerk.
Joan saw the movement nnd heard tho
low answering whimper In his throat. Sho
turned quickly to the bundle, talking and
cooing to It ns she took It In her nrms, nnd
then alio pulled back tho bearskin so that

suddenly it kicked nnd screamed with do

replied the big thing. "Do you under
stand the automobile language?"
"No, my mother has not tiyight me
that," said the little chick thought
fully, "Then you run home and ask your
mother what 'Honk! Honk!' means."
So the little chick went home, and
when he got near the henhouse he
said, "Mother,' what does Honk!
Honk!' mean?"
With that, all the chickens flew out
of the henhouse and when the little
chick's mother came along she said,
"How you frightened U3j We thought
an automobile was coming."
"The 'Honk! Honk!' must mean,
Get out of the road."
'Jit surely does," said the mother,

Kazan's whole body relaxed and ho
dragged himself to the girl's feet.
"See, ho likes tho baby!" sho cried.
"M6n perc, wo must give him a name.
What shall it bo?"
"Walt tilt morning for that." replied
tho father. "It Is late, Joan. Go Into tho
tent and sleep. We havo no dogs now,
nnd will travel slowly. So wo must start
early."
With her hand on tho tent flap, Joan
turned.
"Ho came with the wolves," she said.
"Let us call him Wolf." With ono nrm
she wns holding tho little Joan. Tho
other sho stretched out to Kazan. "Wolfl
Wolfl" sho called softly.
Kazan's eyes were on her. He know
that sho wns speaking to him, and ho
drew himself a foot toward her.
"Ho knows It already!" sho cried.
"Good night, mon perc."
Tor n long time nfter sho had gone Into
tho tent old Plerro Itadlsson sat on tho
edgo of tho sledge, facing tho tire, with
Kazan ns his feet. Suddenly tho sllcnco
was broken again by Gray Wolf's lonely
howl deep In tho forest. Kazan lifted his
head and whined.
"She's calling for you, boy," said Derro
understanding!.
Ho coughed, nnd clutched a linnd to
his breast, where tho pain seemed rend
ing him.
"Frostbitten lur.g, no said, speaking
straight nt Knzan. "Got It early In the
winter, up nt Fond tin I.ac. Hopo wo'll
get home In time with the kids."
In tho loneliness and emptiness of tho
big northern wilderness one falls Into tho
habit of tnlklng to one's self. Hut Kn
znn's head was nlert, nnd his eyes watch
ful, so Plerro spoko to him.
"Wo'vo got to get them home, nnd
there's only you nnd mo to do It," ho
said, twisting his beard. Suddenly ho
clenched his fists.
Ills hollow racking cough convulsed
him ngaln.
"Homo!" he panted, clutching his chest.
"It's fO miles straight north to the
Churchill nnd I pray to God we'll get
there with tho kids beforo my lungs
glvo out."
Ho rose to his feet nnd staggered a llt
tlo as ho walked. Thero vas n collar
nbout Kazan's neck, nnd he chained him
to tho sledge. After thnt ho dragged
threo or four small logs upon the fire and
went quietly Into the tent where Joan
nnd tho baby wcro already asleep.
Several times thnt night Knznn henrd
tho dlstnnt volco of Gray Wolf calling
for him, but something told him that ho
must not answer It now. Toward dawn
Gray Wolf came closo In to tho camp, and
for the first tlmo Knzan replied to her.
Ills howl n wakened tlio man. Ho camo
out of his lent, peered for a few mo
ments up at tho sky, built up the lire, and
began to prepare breakfast. Ho pnttcd
Knznn on tho bend, nnd gavo him a
chunk of meat. Joan camo out a few
moments later, leaving tho baby asleep
In tho tent. She ran up and kissed
Pierre, nnd then dropped down on her
knees beside Knznn, and talked to him
almost as ho had heard her talk to tho
baby. When sho Jumped up to help her
father, Kazan followed herftnd when
Joan saw him stnndlng firmly upon his
legs sho gave a cry of pleasure.
It was a strange Journey that began
Into tho North that day. Plerro Itadlsson
emptied tho sledgo of everything but tho
tent, blankets, food and tho furry nest
for baby Joan. Then ho harnessed him
self In the traces nnd drngged tho sledge
over tho snow. Ho coughed Incessantly.
"It's n cough I've had half tho winter,"
lied Pierre, careful that Joan saw no
sign of blood on his lips or beard. "I'll
keep in tho cabin for a week when wo
get home."
Even Kazan, with tho stiango beast
knowlcdgo which man, unable- to explain,
calls Instinct, knew thnt what ho said
was not tho truth. Perhaps It was largely
because ho hnd heard other men cough
like this, and that for generations his
stedgc-dog nnccstors had heard men
cough ns Itadlsson coughed and had
learned what followed.
Moro than onco ho had scented death in
tepees and cabins, which ho had not en
tered, nnd more than once he hnd sniffed

but she is particularly interested in
tho work of send

tho "shut-in s."
Let Katherine tell
you herself. Sho
says: "I am "glad
to think that tho
Rainbow Club is
not forgetting tho
children who aro
sick. I was in tho
Municipal Hospital
for six weeks and
not allowed to see
my parents or
Kuihcrino caiuhan friends. My, I was
happy when mother sent mo postal
cards and things! Since I'vo been
home I send tho other children cards,
because I know just how tired they
get, never seeing any one." That is
a beautiful thought, Katherine, to
keep on remembering the little ones
who are so anxious to be remembered!
Madeline Cuneo, Salter Btreet, has
a very original idea. She says: "I
have one of tho Evening Ledgeh cal
endars and " have printed across the
top of it, 'Rainbow Club and I am
going to paint the letters some pretty
color, I think it would be a good
plan for all the members to do this,
and then they can look for dates on a
real Rainbow Calendar." How many
members are going to have "Club
Calendars"?
Rosalie Frasch, South Front street,
hopes that her friends who became
club members may be the means of
extending the "Faith, Hope and Love"
which may bring happiness. You have
caught the spirit of the club, Rosalie.

qaltft present, but near Just ns he had
caught at n distance tho subtle warning
of storm nnd flro. And that strango thing
seemed to bo very near him now, as ho
followed at tho end of his chain behind
tho sledge. It mndo him restless, and half
a dozen times, when tho sledgo stopped,
ho sniffed at tho bit of humanity burled
In tho bearskin. Kach tlmo that he did
this Joan wns ulckly nt his sldo, nnd
twice sho patted his scarred and grizzled
head until every drop of blood leaped
riotously with a joy which his body did
not reveal.
This day tho chief thing that he camo
to understand wns thnt tho llttlo creature
on tho sledgo wns very precious to tho
girl who stroked his head nnd tnlkcd to
him, nnd thnt It wns very helpless. Ho
learned, too, that Joan was most de
lighted, and th t her volco was softer and
thrilled him moro deeply when ho paid
attention to that little, warm, living thing
in the bearskin.
For a long tlmo nfter they mado camp
Pierre Itadlsson sat besldo tho fire. To
night ho did not smoke. Ho stared
straight Into tho I1amc9. When at last he
rose to go Into tho tent with tho girl and
the baby, ho lent over Kazan nnd ex
amined his hurt.
"You've got to work In tho trnccs to

He did not finish. Ho was choking

Last year this society helped In jarlous
ways mora than 50,000 persons, jjhe Im
portance of this work wll bo emwihslzod
during tho 10 days of the cxhlbltflaa well

hibit of Its kind ever held In Oils city,
it is expected to awaken tho pcoplo of
Philadelphia to tho further opportunities
for doing good by bringing forcibly brforo
tliclr eyes tho ndvnntage of a greater co
operation with the trained socUl worker.
Hundreds of Btrlklng exhibits aro ar
ranged, and ninny of the booths depict
nctuftl scenes taken from blighted homes.
Demonstrations of the work done at tho
Wayfarer's Lodge will bo a dnlly feature
of tho exhibit. In theso It will bo shown
how It Is a dally occurrence to pick a
human derelict and, with tho aid of a
moral and physical bath as well as n
square meal and a soft bed, often send
him out In the morning with a new Idea
of life nnd n spark In his cy which may
set him on his feet.
"SOCIAL rRCPAItEDNnSS."
One of tlio slogans of tho exhibit Is "so
cial preparedness for national defense."
All tho hidden, to most people, evils nnd
conditions thnt tend to drng down n na
tion to decay or Its poor classes to misery

How to deal with tlieso conditions, not
merely from the surface but from tho
very closest relationship, will bo ex
plained nnd demonstrated as a dnlly fen
turo of the exhibit. Thero la no effort
being mado whatsoever to solicit funds.
It Is merely tho throwing of a search
light on modern problems of poverty nnd
It Is expected that this public showing
of Its "hand" by the society will go a long
way toward explaining to skeptical peo
ple Just what organized charity really
means and go n long way townrd clear
ing up all the misunderstandings nun
misapprehensions Hint havo ailscn In tho
public mind ns to tho constructive work
of the modernly cqulrpcd Institution for

"Tho personal note Is the one wo try to
strike In our work," said It. M. Little,
general .secretary, today. "We nro trying

who linvo made a study, by actual con
tact with them, of tho conditions existing
nmong tho poor. Tlieso talks will bo nt

Can't Clc the Sink
A clever plumber haB devised a strainer
which catches all partlcjea of food from
the dlsh-washlng process and prevents
them from clogging up tha kitchen sink.
This arrangement is very common in
npurtment houses nnd new homes In Los
Angeles,' although nuito Unknown to this
part of tho country. A removable pall,
with . .fine strniner in tlio bottom. Is
fitted jnugly into tho enamel part of tho
sink. This Is tight enough to allow no
bits of 'ood to get lodged in the open

n prominent attorney, as a strong means
of doing away with the boundary lines
between nations.
"If there had been moro marriages be
tween the Germans and tho French, and
between tho Germans and tho English, I
think tho possibilities of nn Internntlonal
war wjuld bo greatly diminished. An In
ternational marriage Is tho exception to
day." Mr. Lewis declared that tho surest hopo
for lasting International pcaco was based
upon a definite International agreement as
to wllat tho law of nations really Is, the
establishment of nn Internntlonal court
to pronounco Judgment on thnt law nnd
tho cstnbllshmcnt of nn international
marshal or a police, whoso duty It shall
be to enforce tho court's Judgment.
"Tho chief difference between America
and tho nations of Europe, ns fnr ns war
is concerned, is tho fact that in America
wo havo no national hatreds accentuated
by national boundary lines," said Mr.
Lewis. "Wo tnko the immigrant, no mnt
ter what his nationality, and by means
of what has been called tho 'melting
pot,' we turn him out nn American. Wc
always accomplish this In one generation,
and occasionally In less time."
"In Europe." explained Mr. J-cwIs,
"there is no 'melting pot.' Each nation
Is separated by n marked and guarded
boundary. International marriages aro
comparatively few, so that neighboring
nations rcqulro tho strong arm of tho law
to keep them In order.
"A typical instanco of tho strong na
tional feeling came to mo ono summer in
Switzerland. A narrow stream is bounded
on one side by Itnly and tho other by
Switzerland. On one sldo tho natives speak
Italian, tho other French. Tho pcoplo
keep themselves carefully to tho sldo on
which they live. But tho children, the cows
and the dogs have to bo kept on the right
Bide by constructed boundaiy lines. Tho
Instinct Is to Ignoro artificial boundaries,
nut wo human beings havo made thorn
and forco ourselves to keep ourselves
from our neighbors. At least they do In
Europe.
"Internntlonal marriages, I think," con
cluded Mr. Lewis, "aro one means of
breaking down tho boundary lines be
tween tho nntions of Europe."

POPULARmOFBABY
IN TEST HOMES WANES,
SAYS 'DAN'S' GUARDIAN
Mrs. Chftrles P. Judaon in
Search for Clothes for Little
Protege, Finds Thero Just
"Aren't Any Babies"
SEEKS HOME FOR BOY
The search for clothes In which he
could dress tha 4-month-old batoy at
sho Is raising until sho can find a gultatle
homo for It has strengthened tha belief
of Mrs. Charles F. Judson, of 100S Bpruce
street, that the old American families nro
dying out.
In nil tho big list of her friends and
acquaintances sho could find only two
families where thero was or had been
recently a baby and, therefore, baby"
clothes.
That is ono of tho reasons Mrs. Judson
Is trying to find a homo for the baby,
Daniel by name, which Bho has been
grooming for two months now. It Is not
only a caso of a homo for baby; It Is also
baby for a home.
Bnby Daniel can be suro of one thing,
anyway, and that Is It will, havo a good
home. Mrs. Judson and Iior husband.
Doctor Judson, will soo to that.
At least a scoro of arpllcatlona have
been received, but Mrs. Judson said to
day that the child would not be given Into
tho care of any poor folk, for sho wants
It to havo a homo whero It can bo raised
properly: where it can havo a nurse, good
surroundings, an oducatlon and a choice
of what he wilt do In llfo after he gets
that education,
Thoso who have applied, for the most
rait, havo not been In a position to slvo
these things, but soma of tho letters have
been so pathetic that Mm. Judson will try
to got other babies for tho applicants. Let
ters aro being received each day. "Wo
nro Just hungry for a baby," ono wroto
yesterday.
"Tho cnuso of ninny divorces can be
traced to tho fact that there la no baby
In tho home," sho snld today. "Tho
people niny not know, whnt's the matter,
but that Is often tho trouble. They
know something Is wrong, and frequently
that Is it.
"It Is true that there aro fewer babies
in tho homes of the wealthier folks.
Tho old American families arc dying out
nnd this Is a shame. It is not tho money
of tlieso families which Is Important,
but what their money can buy. It Is
tho generations of culture behind, the
cheerful surroundings, tho rofinsment,
nnd above all. the American ideals of
tho home, which nro important.
"Although this baby will not have tho
blood of any such family, if it should bo
ndopted It would havo tho ndvnntngo of
environment nnd trnlnlng. I do not be
lieve that heredity Is nearly so Important
as Is mndo out. It counts, of course, but
this bnby la of good peasant stock, and
environment nnd training should count
for seven-eighths In raising it."
Mrs. Judson does not ask that the pco
plo who adopt tho child bo rich, but she
wants them to havo a comfortable in
come, for Bho says Daniel needs good
caro. It Is having a really luxurious life
now, for a whole floor In the Judson home
is given, over to him. He has a day nur
sery whero It Is wnrm and a night nur
sery whero It Is cold. It has a roof gar
den, where ho sleeps In tho open air
every day. He has a nurse.
Mrs. Judson has Just started this new
work.
"I expect It to bo hard at first," she
said, "but when I get started I ought to
havo no trouble. Whoever tnkes the
baby will tell their friends of their happi
ness, for ho'll bring happiness all right,
nnd then It will be easier to find a homo
for the next baby."
