*THE GIRL OF THE MOUNTAINS


Marvin rode, deep IN thought,
through the interminable woods, his
head sunk on his breast, his fingers
holding the reins lightly. The horse,
sensing the abstraction of the rider,
picked his way slowly along the tran,
often stopping to snatch a mouthful
from the succulent leaves and grass.
Marvin was in his later thirties.
College bred, he had gone west after
making a failure Of his life. He had
no ties. Nobody in the world cared
for him. He wanted only to bury
himself in the forest and forget.
But even here human nature, with
all its ugliness, with its passing beau
ty, confronted him. The ranchers
wondered about the solitary man who
dwelt in the depths of the forest.
They had nothing in common with
him; absorbed in the quest of wiring
ing a gain from the stubborn earth,
they thought he must be a fugitive
from justice.
One day, as Marvin rode through
the woods, he came upon slip of a
mountain girl bending over a brook.
Her bare feet were as brown as ber-
ries, her arms nut brown, her face
flushed with confusion as she raised
it to his.
They fell into an easy conversation.
Her father was a small sheep rancher
living in the valley. She had no other
relative or friend except-Jim.
o. Jim was her lover, Marvin gath
cred. He rode on, vaguely discomfort
ed. The thought of the girl required

He met her once more, twice-then
the day came when he rode down to
the valley to buy his supplies. And
he saw the girl at the door of the
ranch building.

see the forest girl again. About
week later his wish was gratified.
She was coming along the trail,
sobbing, and when she saw him she
stopped and hid her face in her hands.

TOBACCO IN DEMAND
Cigars and Cigarettes Highly
Priced at the Front.
German Soldier Exchanges SO Cigar
cites for Whole Steer-Throw Dice
to Decide Puffs of Cigar for
Each Soldier.

Berlin-Cigars and cigarettes are
the most highly valued articles at the
front. In an interesting letter, just
received here, German soldier tells
OF trade where he exchanged so
cigarettes for a whole steer. He
writes:
Most of our boys at the front are
inveterate smokers. They know the
value of a good weed Sometimes a
good smoke will make you forget that
your stomach is empty.
For the last two days have been
subsisting on bread and cigars. Our
field butcher-the goulash gun, as we
call it-cannot come up to the battle
line, and so We must live on what
we carry in our knapsacks. A heavy
black cigar will tide you over for
a day when there is nothing else to
chew.
"a few days ago we were all long
ing for some fresh meat. There was
none for miles around. Suddenly a
Bavarian detachment came along, with
a whole drove of cattle. First they
refused to let us have any. but after
some bargaining they traded a fat
steer for so cigarettes.
Every soldier in our army is sup
piled with two cigars every day at
present. Besides almost everybody
receives tobacco from home. But some

They were so bad we could not smoke
them. So We threw them over to the
French, who eagerly gathered them IN.
They were so delighted that they gave
us some cognac in exchange This was
before they commenced to smoke the
cigars. After they had lighted them
they got highly indignant and CON-
menced to fire at US like mad.
There were days when we had moth
ing to smoke but dried tea leaves and
straw. Then again We have tobacco
but nothing to light our pipes with.
We are not permitted to have fire in
the erenches, for the smoke would
draw the enemy's fire. Matches are
very scarce and our electric flashlights
give light. but no fire. So one of my
comrades has overcome this difficulty
by using a strong magnifying glass

French officer killed in battle This
works all right when the sun is

AT times cigars were so scarce We
had to throw dice in order to decide

to get only three puffs."

Chicago.-Four years ago q young
man. Ill and hungry, applied at the
rear door Of house in South Marsh
field avenue for food. The maid called
her mistress and the latter went to the
door.
Come In" she said. You are cold.
Warm yourself at the fire"
The young man was touched by the
womans kindness and nearly broke
into tears.
You are Jew, are you not?" said
the woman. Don't be afraid to talk.
You are under the roof of Jewish
family"
The young man recovered himself.
He told story of coming to America
from Prague, Bohemia, and of finding
himself homeless and penniless. He
was TOO proud to let his people know
his condition.
An hour before he appeared at the
house in Marshfield avenue he was
discharged from the county hospital.
He had fallen in the street from ep-
ilepsy, and the hospital kept him
three days.

story. gave him a warm meal and let

An International Piu.

The Anglo-American war of 1924,
from the conclusion OF which We date
our centenary of peace, was due re-
motely to one of the most trivial incl
dents that could be imagined. At the
Rhode Island elections in 1S11-so the
story goes-one constituency was lost
to the Federalist party because GER
tain farmer arrived at the polling
place too late to cast his vote. He
had been delayed by the difficulty of
releasing one of his pigs that had
been caught in fence. The result
was that this constituency elected
pro-war candidate TO the state legis.
lature by a majority of one. The
representative sent to the United
States senate by this legislature was
elected by similar majority, and ul-
timately il was by a majority of one

Modern Zoolooy.

In his presidential address before
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, now printed
in Science, DR.. Edmund B. Wilson OF
Columbia university discussed the
more pressing problems of modern
zoology. In regard to Darwinism, he
said: "Undeniably there is large
measure of truth in the contention
that natural selection still belongs
rather to the philosophy than to the
science of biology. In spite of many
important experimental and critical
studies on the subject Darwin's con-
ception still remains today in the
main what it was in his own time, a
theory, a logical construction. based
it is true on a multitude Of facts, yet
still awaiting adequate experimental
test Simple though the principle is,
its actual effect in nature is deter
mined by conditions that are too intri.
cate and operate through periods too
great to be duplicated in the expert
mental laboratory. Hence it is that
even after more than fifty years of
Darwinism the time has not yet come
for true estimate of Darwin's pro-
posed solution of the great problem"

fee.

trade you one of them for my initia

members of the lodge promptly &C

to keep the hog and feed it free o.
