The horses, having taken their re-

ne req 6af on the waters.
A day later Miss Ordway packed an
expensive bag of real alligator and
made ready for departure.
I'm going to Salem, partner" she
said. .''If Hampden gets anxious
enough to inquire openly, tell him I'm
after-clothes."
She smiled to herself, thinking of
those millions of trees. For its own
sake, the pursuit of Hampden was be-
ginning to enthrall her professional
instinct but there was a flicker of
passion under her lashes, a sleepy look
of anticipation, as she glanced side
wise at Sandry on the step beside
her.
Il may be away week-maybe a
month. I'll drop you a line occa-
sionally."
A yearning sense Of loss and loneli-
ness gripped SandTy as he took her
hand at parting, lending to his clasp
an unwonted tightness. and to his
voice sense of husklness. She was
home and the things thereof, this
woman who was an orchid among the
pines, and with her going went some
thing he had scarcely realized, yet
which he would sorely miss.
The camp seemed more than usually
dreary in the days that followed The
fog ribbons twined and twisted con-
tinually along the hills, the pines
brought their marching ranks closer
in upon the shrinking valley, and San

for Hampden-and the subtle implica-
ton pushed the advantage.
His face was flushed and he sat
straight on his horse, his khaki-and-
blue-fannel clad figure making a not
ungraceful picture against the back
ground of vivid green. He whipped at
his laced boots, wet from the ferns,
and presently spoke out of a full heart.
Yes" he said carelessly, 1T does take

He suddenly leaned over and laid
his rough hand over hers on the POM
mel.
Every tree would buy a dozen
trunks full-an' l own millions of
trees"
Her heart was pounding and the
sparkle was dancing in her eyes,
Millions? Why, that must cover
great deal of land! Millions OF
trees?"
"Yes-billions," promised Hampden
rashly. He rose in his saddle and
looked through a natural opening in
the forest down over the dropping
ridges.
"Why, look! All that-all that, as

fire instantly.

laughed-a little, low ripple of mirth

Saving the Trees.
If necessaT

The cementing of holes in trees is
now quite common. On old estates,
where trees have been showing holes
in their trunks for years, they are
now being cemented. both to add to
the stability of the trunks and to
arrest further decay. Huge trees with
holes in their trunks large enough for
man to stand upright in are now
filled with cement, the cement being
painted the color OF the bark.

for the law in the minds Of children,
and, as experience proves, actually en-
courages them in the commission of
more serious offenses. The original Or

serious crime all offenders should be
treated alike in the criminal courts. The
unwillingness Of grand juries, however,
to indict children for penitentiary Of

That the juvenile breakers of the laws

questionable. There can be no doubt
of the EMBELLISHMENTS of such dis

Fort Vaux.

The French success in taking Fort
Vaux at Verdun is notable, notwith-
standing the fact that the place was
evacuated by the Germans without
further loss, and that at Berlin the
value Of the position is minimized. The
outstanding feature of the French per-
Torrance is that it plainly demonstrates
that the German offensive at Verdun is
definitely at an end. 1t may be re-
sumed now or later, to be sure, but
reckoned as single campaign the at
tempt to take Verdun has failed. The
German Crown Prince was quoted the
