ice to the Fatherland..

A correspondent Of the Companion
in Germany writes ofa touching thing
that the lonely women OF the nation
have done-women who have no sons,
no husband, no brother. no father in
the war; who are perhaps too old or
too feeble to nurse or to be otherwise
active. No one knows where the idea
started, but some women of that sort
made inquiries of the regiments re-
garding soldiers who had no father
or mother; they begged to be put In
communication with those soldiers.
The names Of soldiers were sent To
these women, this strange name and
that, the names of men whom they
did not know and had never seen!
Each woman chose one or two SOL
diers to be her especial care. The
childless mothers sent gifts, and
sewed and knit for the motherless sol
diers. Now and then came, in return,
grateful post card from the field
from the adopted son. Once | read
one of the cards.

for the package Of warm things.
Imagine my surprise! The mail ar.

the only one to receive package

my life!"
Eight days later the orphan soldier
boy fell; comrade brought the news,
and gentle. lonely soul wept for him,
whom she had never known. He had
been the means of forming strong
tie that bound in imagination wom-
ans silent life with the mighty fate
of her country. She who had never

From that time forth Sandry began
to take keener interest in Siletz For
one thing, he noticed that everyone
called her Sletz, with a soft surring
of the first syllable, and he found him
self using the name which he thought
particularly beautiful. 1t was tho
name of the reservation to the north
and Of small part of the odds and
ends Of tribes thrown in there by =
benefcent government. What was her
other name? He had always thought
of her as Ma Daily's daughter; and
yet, now that he came to think of It.
she had never seemed akin to the easy
going, open-minded foreman who was
SO like the old woman. She was alien
to both with her silences. her whimsi.
cal speech and her look OF hidden fire.
One day in the late fall. when the
white mist and the evergreen Of the
forest had got on his nerves unbear.
ably, Sandry left the office and went to
the shed for Black Bolt, only to find
him gone. He had meant to ride on
the fit of blues. Failing that. he decid.
ed to walk 1t on. and struck up the wet
green valley to the north.

himself in wilderness OF towering

Walter Sandry sat In the office at

something had lifted from him in
these two months; weight had light

had crept in an insidlous admiration.

charm OF the intimate shadows. the

there lay silence and q sense of ref.

strongly upon 1t. For the enchanted
present she was romance and mys-
terry. and Sandry was beneath its spell.
But Siletz looked from his face
down to the hand upon her arm. The
blood rose slowly in her dusky cheeks,
and when she raised her eyes again
they were dim with the same look OF
intoxication as had come with the mad,

He did not remove his hand. and

stood gazing into each others eyes.
Sandry saw the heavy look in hers, the
dull fire that bespoke very drunken

ment he had lost his head. Without
thought, as simply as the first runner

found none. and the next moment

for Siletz lifted her face and 1t was
glorified. The lntoxication had drifted

Sandry got a sudden insight into sew

wearing of blue shirts in rain that
had soaked his overcOat, and few
remarks about the fact that Oregon
