big canoe was packed and waiting,
Joan got in first, with the baby. Then,
still holding the babiche thong, she
drew Kazan up close to her, 50 that he
lay with his weight against her.
The sun fell warmly on Kazan's back
as they showed of, and he closed his
eyes, and rested his head on JOan's lap
Her hand fell softly on his shoulder
He heard again that sound which the
man could not hear, the broken sob IN
her throat, as the canoe moved slowly
down to the wooded point.
Joan waved her hand back at the
cabin, just disappearing behind the
trees. .r-
"Goodby!" she cried sadly "Goodby
-" And then she buried her face
close down to Kazan and the baby, and
sobbed. -.-...
The man stopped padding.

asked.
They were drifting past the point
now. and the scent of Gray Wolf came
to Kazan's nostrils, rousing him. and
bringing a low whine from his throat
you're no. sorry we're going"
Joan shook her head
mo" she replied. "Only I've al
ways lived here - in the forests and
they're - home!"
The point with it's white finger OF
sand, was behind them now. And IA
zan was standing rigid, facing it. The
man called to him, and Joan lifted hel
head. She, too, saw the point, and
suddenly the babiche leash slipped
from her fingers, and a strange light
leaped into her blue eyes as she saw
what stood at the end Of that white
Zip CT sand. 1t was Gray Wolf. Hell
blind eyes were turned toward Kazan
At last Gray Wolf, the faithful, under

could not see. Kazan and the mar

going - going - going

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR
Discovery That Promises to Be Of I'm.
mense Importance to Country In
the Midst of War.

The discovery is announced Of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar. OF which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil. which is scarce. In
the past 1t has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little
value. BY the new method, it is
claimed, the soap produced is not
only fine and delicate, but 1t acts as
efficiently in salt water as in fresh
a fact that may make the soap valu-
able for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be
sent to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds of silks, 1t is alleged.
not only are not harmed by it. but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for a
minimum OF the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

you realize that your little girl had given place
10 the woman that little girl must become If
you were wise the reproof was never given. In
