beside Joan, lifted his shaggy head to
the dark sky and howled.

THAT QUESTION OF COTTON.

The extensive use of American cot
ton in the manufacture of explosives
by Germany is adding another COM
plication to the diplomatic relations
between the United States and Great
Britain. England's unofficial an
nouncement that she was about to
place cotton on the contraband list,
the orders-in-council having proved
ineffective as a means of preventing
the Southern crop from. reaching Ger
many. touched the pocketbooks of the
American planters.
Now 1t is unofficially rumored that
the Allies will buy up the cotton crop
Of the United States and thus stop
the expectation to Germany. This
plan would, of course, settle the COM
mercial difficulties of the situation.
But the question of the rights OF neu-
trail shipping would be entirely evad-
ed.
If the British government makes
this attempt to buy up American cot
ton, it probably will insist openly. or
with a mental reservation, that II mas
the right to call cotton contraband If
il pleases.

There would not be time enough
to do the things we are accustomed
to do, and social as we'll as bust
ness life would be paralyzed.
Such a condition is almost in
conceivable. Columbia Telephone
Company has developed telephone
service to the highest degree of
usefulness and made it so reliable
that its availability is never ques-
toned 1t has connected cities,
towns and the remotest places and
has taught the people the advant-
ages of statewide telephone fa-
cilities.
Plans are made, buildings built
and business run with telephone
service taken for granted, and yet
We have to imagine what it would
mean to be entirely without tele-
phones before the great value of
this ever-present service can really
be appreciated.

Ii a Giant Cuts the
Telephone Wires

Suppose all telephones in Co
lumbia were silent, and that for
fOrty-eight hours you could not
even call central to ask what the
trouble was!
Imagine the confusion which
would prevail-with personal Wis
its and messengers substituted for
direct, instant communication
with sidewalks jammed; with ev-
cry old-fashioned means of COM
munication pressed into service
and all of them combined unable to
carry the load.
The instant contact of merchant
with customer, of physician with
patient, of friend with friend,
would be severed; the business
man and the housewife would lose
the minutes and hours the tele-
phone saves them. The economic
loss would be incalculable.

drifts. Kazan and the sledge became
only dark blotch to her. And then,
all at once. she saw that they were
leaving her. They were not more than
twenty feet ahead of her-but the
blotch seemed to be vast distance
away. Every bit of life and strength
in her body was now bent upon reach
ing the sledge-and baby Joan.
1t seemed an interminable time be-
fore she gained With the sledge only
six feet ahead of her she struggled for
what seemed to her to be an hour be-
fore she could reach out and touch
it. With a moan she flung herself for
ward, and fell upon it. She no long
er heard the wailing Of the storm. She
no longer felt discomfort. With her
face in the furs under which baby
Joan was buried, there came to her
with swiftness and joy a vision Uf
warmth and home. And then the
vision faded away, and was followed
by deep night
Kazan stopped in the trail. He came
back then and sat down upon his
launches beside her, waiting for her
to move and speak. But she was very
still. He thrust his nose into her
loose hair. A whine rose In his
throat, and suddenly he raised his
head and shifted in the face Of the
wind. Something came to him with
that wind. He muZzled Joan again,
but she did not stir. Then he went
forward, and stood in his traces, ready
for the pull. and looked back at her.
Still she did not move or speak, and
Kazan's whine gave place to sharp
excited bark.
The strange thing in the wind came
to him stronger for moment. He be-
gan to pull. The sledge-runners had
frozen to the snow. and it took every
ounce of his strength to free them.
Twice during the next five minutes he
stopped and shifted the air The third
time that he halted, in drift of snow.
he returned to Joan's side again, and
whined to awaken her. Then he tug
ged again at the end of his traces, and
foot by foot he dragged the sledge |
through the drift. Beyond the drift |
there was a stretch of clear ice, and |
here Kazan rested During a lull in |
the wind the scent came to him
stronger than before.
At the end of the clear ice was
narrow break in the shore. where a
creek ran into the main stream. If
Joan had been conscious she would
have urged him straight ahead. But
Kazan turned into the break, and for
ten minutes he struggled through the
snow without a rest, whining more
and more frequently, until at last the
whine broke into joyous bark. Ahead
of him, close to the creek, was small
cabin. Smoke was rising out of the
chimney. 1t was the scent of smoke
that had come to him In the wind. A
hard level slope reached to the cabin
door, and with the last strength that

CHAPTER VII
Out of the Blizzard.

1t was dawn when the baby snug
gled close to Joan's warm breast and
awakened her with its cry of hunger
She opened her eyes, brushed back
the thick hair from her face, and could
see where the shadowy form of her
father was lying at the other side of
the tent. He was very quiet, and she
was pleased that he was still sleeping.
She knew that the day before he had
been very near to exhaustion, and SO
for half an hour longer she lay quiet,
cooing softly to the baby Joan. Then
she arose cautiously. tucked the baby
in the warm,blankets and furs, put on
her heavier garments, and went out
side.
By this time it was broad day, and
she breathed sigh of relief when she
saw that the storm had passed 1t
was bitterly cold. 1t seemed to her
that she had never known it to be so
cold in all her life The fire was COM
pletely out. Kazan was huddled in
round ball, his nose tucked under his
body. He raised his head, shivering,
as Joan came out. With her heavily
moccasined foot Joan scattered the
ashes and charred sticks where the
fire had been. There was not a spark
left. In returning to the tent she
stopped for a moment beside Kazan,
and patted his shaggy head.
Poor Wolff" she said 81 wish
had given you one of the bearskins!"
She threw back the tent-flap and en-
tered. For the first time she saw her
fathers face in the Highland out
side, Kazan heard the. terrible moan
ing cry that broke from her lips. No
one could have looked at Pierre Raids
sons face once-and not have under
stood.
After that one agonizing cry, Joan
flung herself upon her fathers breast
sobbing so softly that even KaZan's
sharp ears heard no sound. She re-
mained there in her grief until every
vital energy of womanhood and moth
erhood in her girlish body was reused
to action by the wailing cry of baby
Joan. Then she sprang to her feet and
ran out through the tent opening. Ka-
zan tugged at the end of his chain to
meet her, but she saw nothing of him
now. The terror of the wilderness is
greater than that of death, and in an
instant it had fallen upon Joan. 1t
was not because of fear for herself.
1t was the baby. The wailing cries
from the tent pierced her like knife
thrusts.
And then, all at once, there came
to her what old Pierre had said the
night before-his words about the
river. the air-holes. the home forty
miles away. You couldn't lose your
self JOAN" He had guessed what
might happen.
She bundled the baby deep in the
furs and returned to the fire-bed Her
one thought now was that they must
have fire. She made a little pile of |
covered 1t with half-burn-
ed bits of wood, and went into the
tent for the matches. Pierre Raids
son carried Them in wotorproof
box in a pocket of his bearskin coat. |
She sobbed as she kneeled beside him |
again. and obtained the box. AS the |
fire flared up she added other bits of |
wood. and then some of the larger
pieces that Pierre had dragged into
camp. The fire gave her courage.
Forty miles-and the river led to thei- |
home. She must make that, with the !
