The government geological survey
sends out the somewhat reassuring
report that old Vulcan has clapped
the lid down on Lassen peak. The
great eruption in May seems to have
spent the energy of the volcano, and
the general indications are that 1t
will cause no more disturbance this
season. Though the mountain may
continue to be an active volcano, the
report says that it Is believed that IT
will not develop into a devastating
fury, after the manner OF Vesuvius
or some of the laskan volcanoes or
other well known foreign volcanoes"
While Lassen in a rage makes quite
a spectacle of itself, Snd while vol

well IL Vulcan keeps the lid screwed
down, and Dit tighter, too. than it
is In a great many municipalities.

One day In the late fall, when the

ably, Sandry left the Office and went to
the shed for Black Bolt, only to find
him gone. He had meant to ride on

CARING FOR THE UNKNOWN
Patriotic Work Undertaken by Ger
man Women That Is of Real Serv"
ice to the Fatherland.

A correspondent of the Companion
in Germany writes of 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,
a grateful post card from the field
from the adopted son. Once l read
one of the cards.
Many thanks, dear friend" 1t read,
"for the package of warm things.
Imagine my surprise! The mail ar
rived! l expected nothing, but was
the only one to receive a package
l alone, the orphan! From you | re-
ceived the only package ! ever got In
my life!"
Eight days later the orphan soldier
how fell. a 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
been a mother had become volun

cast a lowering glance backward at
the man.
The incident had taken all the help
fitness out of the day and the wilder
ness, and Sandry wendell his way SLOW
ly back to camp, arriving just in time
for supper. Siletz tended the table In
her usual silence, but when she
reached him she was constrainedly
aloof. as if fearing to break spell by
word or touch. Once he looked up
at her. striving for recognition. but
she avoided his eyes and TO save his
life he could not repress the wild
thrill that had betrayed him in the
hills, though he was conscious OF an
ger flushing hot upon ft. He suffered
a very real humiliation in that he had
so far forgotten his training. his sense
of the fitness of things. as TO kiss this
wild mountain creature. His ances-
trail blood rose up in condemnation.
The next few days were crowded
full to overlooking with work and ne

The first raft of logs. great cigar
shaped monster, laced together in all
it's length and breadth with giant
chains, lay in the backwater at Toledo
ready for it's voyage into the world be-
yond.
A crew of river drivers was picked
from among the men and all was in
readiness save for a draft of direc-
tons which was to be given, along
with the raft, into the custody OF Cap
tain Graftz of the long dun-colored
steamer that would stand in across
the bar at Newport on the twenty
sixth.
Sandry thrilled with contemplation
of the great, reddish-brown floor.
slightly raised in the center, sloping
gently to the sides. Its building had
been thing of wonder to him. 1t
would in all probability scatter to the
ends of the earth. and its worth ran
well into five figures. He watched its
departure, an impressive matter or
sluggish rising with the tide, OF al
most inn orceptible motion and then OF
majestic speed that carried it west
ward toward the ocean. Then he
turned back to his logging camp with
a heightened joy in the new life.
That night he wrote to the white
haired gentleman who was then going
to bed under silken covers with the aid
of the faithful Higgins; and his letter
was long and brilliant, touched with
that cheer and hope. that light OF
awakening strength and ability which
was beginning to stir his heart to its
foundation.
"Ah!" said Mr. Wilton Sandry when
he got that letter, looking down on the
pageant of Riverside drive in it's win
ter livery, what boy he is! What
son! The metal is beginning to ring"
