CARING FOR THE UNKNOWN
Patriotic Work Undertaken by Ger
man Women That 10 Of Real serv.
Ice to the Fatherland.

A correspondent of the Companion
in Germany writes of a 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 I read
one of the cards.
Many thanks, dear friend" It reao.
for the package of warm things.
Imagine my surprise! The mail ar
rived! l expected nothing. but was
the only one to receive package
/ alone. the orphan! From you re-
ceived the only package ever got in
my life!"
Eight days later the orphan soldier
boy fell; q comrade brought the news,
and gentle. lonely soul wept for him,
whom she had never known. He had
been the means of forming q 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 a volun.

CHAPTER v-contInued.

Sandry was enjoying her succinct
precision Of knowledge and express
sion.
And you've spent all these years in
the midst of this wet-blanket eli.

did you do it-and keep your cheer

Son." said Ma Daily kindly, you
can knock the country to me, but
don't you go doin' 1t where the men'll
hear you. Us web-feet are used to
the rain. but we don't like to hear the
Fasteners talk about it. It's a chip
on every Oregonian's shoulder. You
don't want to queer yourself"
There was note of genuine good
advice in the words and tone. and
Sandry got sudden insight into sew
eral little happenings that had puzzled
him-for instance. the emphasized
wearing of blue shirts in a rain that
had soaked his overcoat, and q few
rain didn't wet through.
Thank you, Mrs. Daily" he said
earnestly with sudden feeling of
friendship between him and this
shrewd. kindly old general of men.
He turned presently to the girl,
busy in the lamplight. her black head
shining, a shadow over her eyes.
by the way" he said. III you care
TO you may ride Black Bolt whenever
you WISH"
She nodded quietly. without flicker
of the pleased excitement he had ex-
pected in the light of her seeming pas
sionate love of the animal, but q slow,
dull flush spread upward in her dark
face and her fingers trembled q bit. he
fancied. on the reeds.
They trembled In all surety the next
morning. when. with bride of colored
and woven horsehair over her arm, she
entered the lean-to.
Black Bolt was . gentleman born.
Though he was wild as the girl for
the free air. the green slopes and the
yielding sod under his feet, he stood
still while she came up lightly, as .
cat springs. with little soft alighting.
and they were gone, down over the
smooth slope of the valley toward the
lower rollway.
There were two interested specta-
tors to that splendid hight-Ma Daily

her eyes bit and said aloud: Bless

the south window Of the ONCE.
Did you like 1T" Sandry asked her
amusedly that evening as he passed
through the eating room.
Yes" said Siletz with her belying
quietness.
Il believe I've found q study" he
said to himself as he went on. "a
worthy study in human nature"
And Siletz had found a new heaven
and new earth Something wild with.
in her that had ever moved restlessly
broke forth, glorious flower of &C.
stasy. Day by day thereafter she
loosed Black Bolt and sped into fields
of Elysium. lost to earth, intoxicated
mad with the rush of wind and rain.
Always when she came back there
was the dusky flush in her face, the
sleepy look of intoxication in her eyes.
Thus winter closed In ON the lonely
camp in the mountains. blre-black and
gray with mist and rain and vivid
green with the new grass of the coas,
country.

to raise the ire of any riverman OF

| Where the track approached the roll
way 1t had been torn up bodily, the
ties and rails thrown into the narrow
slough, as evidenced by few pro
jecting ends. and the rollway itself,
thick supported on a group of gradu

here and there.
Hadn't we better just spike 'em
on to the sides?" asked Collins, with a
droll upward glance.
Sandry was about to reply when

beside him under the lee of the dam

apologetically. there's no fixin' such
timbers as them, not when they've got

frankly; won't they hold back the

tale in its truth Of outline, was the be-
ginning of the same mark, broken in
its inception by some mysterious
hand.

and a sort of nausea came over him.
Then he became conscious Of her dark
eyes, level and calm, upon his face and
q thrill that sent the blood pounding

he laid his hand on her bare arm un-

wet with the mist-closing his fingers
strongly upon 1t. For the enchanted
present she was romance and mys.

He did not remove his hand. and
silence fell between them while they
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

his clearing brain for some word Of
apology. some contrite expression. but
found none. and the next moment
could not in any case have spoken It;
for Siletz lifted her face and II was
glorified. The intoxication had drifted
away from her features. leaving them
bare in the utter simplicity Of the pri.
meval woman. and there was In them
white fire of self-surrender.
Without a word-and Sandry knew
instinctively that she could not speak

reins over his head, crouched beside

CLEAN HANDS.

Disease germs lead a hand to
mouth existence. If the human race
would learn to keep the unwashed
hands away from the mouth many
human diseases would be greatly di-
minished. We handle infectious
matter more or less constantly and
we continually carry the hands to
the mouth. If the hand has recently
been in contact with infectious mat
ter the germs of disease may in this
way be introduced into the body.
Many persons wet their fingers with
saliva before counting money, turn
ing the pages of book, or perform
ing similar acts. In this case the
process is reversed, the infection be-
ing carried to the object handled,
there to await carriage to the mouth
of some other careless person. In
view Of these facts the us. Public
Health Service has formulated the
following simple rules Of personal
hygiene and recommends their
adoption by every person in the Un-
tied States.
Wash the hands immediately
Before eating,
Before handling, preparing or
serving food,
After using the toilet,
After attending the sick, and
After handling anything dirty.
