Washington. Jan. "a knotty point Of
American bankrupt law was settled once

brown or black eyed. In others, how
ever, no such pigment formation takes
place, and the eyes remain blue or

the discrepancy in the eye colorings

the season was evident Clips and

two men. The faces, shriveled and
defaced, bore no likeness to the faces

Entering the house he found the
interior a wreck. He trod on empty

everywhere, and, on the floor of one

waited impatiently, balancing the
shirt of apples on the pommel
He heard footsteps approaching,
and drove his spurs so fercely into
the roam as to force a groan from the
animal as it leaped forward At the
corner of the barn he saw the intrud-
err, a mere boy Of 10 or 20, for all Of
his uniform, jump back to escape be-

there was no more shooting. The
young man was elated. Through that
astonishing fusillade he had come un-

had emptied their magazines. He
could see several reloading. Others
were running back behind the house

War--A Story by Jack London

This is hardly more than a sketch,
but it is full of dramatic power. It
is Jack London at his best. We have
nobody who can equal him at this
sort of thing, where primitive strug-
gle is depicted. We are indebted for
the story to the London Nation.
He was a young man, not more
than twenty-four or five, and he
might have sat his horse with the
careless grace Of his youth had he
not been so catlike and tense. His
black eyes roved everywhere, catch
ing the movements of twigs and
branches where small birds hoped
questing ever onward through the
changing vistas of trees and brush,
and returning always to the clumps
of underground on either side. And
as he watched, so did he listen,
though he rode on in silence, save for
the boom of heavy guns from far to
the west. This had been sounding
monotonously in his ears for hours,
and only its cessation would have
aroused his notice. For he had bust
ness closer at hand. Across his sad
dle-bow was balanced a carbine.
So tensely was he strung that a
bunch of quail, exploding into flight
from under his horses nose, startled
him to such an extent that automati-
cally, instantly, he had refined in and
fetched his carbine half way TO his
shoulder He grinned sheepishly, re-
covered himself, and rode on. So
tense was he, so bent upon the work
he had to do, that the sweat stung his
eyes unwiped and unheeded rolled
down his nose, and spattered his sad
die pummel The band of his cav
alryman's hat was fresh-stained with
sweat. The roam horse under him was
likewise wet. It was high noon of a
breathless day of heat. Even the
birds and squirrels did not dare the
sun, but sheltered in shady hiding
places among the trees.
Man and horse were Uttered with
leaves and busted with yellow pollen,
for the open was ventured no more
than was compulsory. They kept to
the brush and trees, and invariably
the man halted and peered out before
crossing a dry glade, or naked
stretch of upland pasturings. He
worked always to the north, though
his way was devious, and it was from
the north that he seemed most to ap,
prehend that for which he was look
ing. He was no coward, but his cour.
age was only that of the average civ
ilized man, and he was looking to
live, not to die.
Up a small hillside he followed a
