Hattie unconsciously took . hand

man Who would always b able To

probably never attain . position
which would give Hattie any Of the
Injuries of life.
However. she was not the sort of
girl who wanted them. At least
not unduly. She was not the dis

who could take . great deal OF

over an entire life time. Where

marriage, had moro or less dis
missed Hattie from our minds. She
had been our friend. We were
glad to have her with us while she
made one Of our household. Her
ultimate destiny plainly was mar
rage and the making Of home.
So when she left us. we felt she
was but fulfilling the inevitable
course of her existence.
Hattie had not come to see us
often and we did not expect her.
My work kept me in my office. or in
my studio. all day. Stella's work
kept her In the theater all evening.
We realized that Hattie had her
fiat to keep clean, her clothes to
make, and each night the dinner to
prepare for her husband. II was
dificult for her to leave her duties,
But we always thought Of our little
friend as happy. We thought OF
her as having done the one thing
she wanted to do, md OF being con-
tented in her choice. What was

Wood For Gun Stocks.
Demands of War
Made Shortage
EXPERTS TRY FOR
A SUBSTITUTE
Two Dying Trees in
National Forest Sell
at>High Figure

WASHINGTON. Oct The Eu-
ropcah war has caused . marked
shortage In black walnut for the
manufacture Of gun stocks. and
agents OF gun manufacturers are
securing the forests.
Recently two partly decayed black
~alnuf trees In the Arkansas Ma
tional Forest were sold. at $50
per 1000 feet on the stump. This In
the highest price ever paid for any
unfinished hardwood a. far 40 In
known. and certainly for any sold
from = national forest.
The two Arkansas trees were In
splendid condition for manufacture
In the near future, being well cured.
Black walnut has long been recog.
nised ~ the best material for gun
stocks. The American pioneers made
rife stocks OF maple. but In war
times the musket stocks were of
',lack walnut.
At q convention of gunsmiths held
In Atlanta, Ca. In August. 1861. the
consens,'s OF opinion was that black
walnut was easily TIE superior Of all
hard woods for gun manufacture.
with maple second and persimmon
third. II was held that gun stock
material should be air-dried for
20 years before being used In con.
s.ruction.
During the Civil war walnut for
gun stocks was obtained both In the
rorth and south by purchasing miles
Of fence, rails. and by taking floors
and beams out OF cid barns and
mills where the wood had been sea-
soned for q quarter to a half cen
fury. The toughness and durability
of black walnut Is well known.
The Forest Service has record OF
a roof IT black walnut shingles In
