Vandervyn had spoken came around
beside Hardy and murmured a few
words in his ear. Hardy looked him
in the eye, bowed, and quietly started
to move away. The man followed him
until he had left the White House.

Proper View of Life.

Why is it, 1 wonder, that the little
boy almost always imagines that out

Why does the diSsolute man conclude
that. outside the common virtues OF
society. he is to find the larger life?
For you, my son, will sometime find
that your largest liberty was in the
old home, where, If there was author

love; and you, my friend, viii find
that others succeeded in your home

CHAPTER XIV.
Condemned.

The cOurt-martial began its session
at nine in the morning, and the trial
of Hardy was over before three in the
afternoon. Vandervyn testified to the
suppression by the accused of the ex-
istence of the developed mine and of
Redbear'S misconduct.
Hardy's statements in explanation
of his actions were as brief as they
were cold and dry. Acting as a civil
officer, he had considered the question
of Withholding any mention of the
mine as a matter within his discretion.
When Intercepted whether he had not
taken advantage of this suppression
to enter the contest and win the mine
for himself, his bald admission of the
fact. unaccOmpanied by any explana-
ton of his motives, was received by
his officer judges with marked gravity.
The other charges were far more
serious, and he opposed them with
vigGr. He denied emphatically any in
tentfO1 to desert or to remain perma-
nently absent from his proper duties
without leave, and showed the tele-
gram from a high official in the war
department that led him to believe his
resignation and application for leave
of absence would be at once favorably
acted upon by his commanding officer
at Vancouver barracks. This, in some
circumstances, might have been con-
sidered sufficient excuse for his con-
duct. But his refusal to explain his
reason for taking advantage of his Sc
cret knowledge of the mine percepdbly
Influenced the members of the court
to doubt the statement of his purpose
in coming to Washington.
Though the court-martiaI adjourned
without rendering its findings, he left
the courtroom ten years older in APP
pearance than when he entered. The
regretful, commissioning glance of the
most friendly of his judges seemed
plainly to indicate what would be the
findings. The thought of voluntarily
resigning from the service had been
hard. To be cashiered was almost I'M
endurable.
Yet he walked out with his back
straight and his head well up. He
went directly to the White House and
sent in a written application for an
interview with the president. 1t was
refused. He went to his lodgings and
spent the remainder of the day and
half the night drafting and redrafting

a concise statement of his argument
against Vandervyn's contract. This he
addressed to the president and
stamped for mailing. He wrote moth
ing with regard to his own case
When, near morning, he at last fell
asleep, he was so near exhaustion that
he did not waken until late. The hour
set for the reconvening OF the court
martial had already come. He sprang
into his uniform with a celebrity that
might have reminded a fellow officer
of reveille in cadet barracks at West

Hardy met the presidents look of
inquiry, and bowed in confirmation of
the statement. The president again
looked thoughtful. 'sThat leaves the

There is growing feeling that
the state safety commission with its
81 100000 appropriation, if it wants
to merit public confidence, will have
to do something more than concern
itself with so-called moral uplift.
This opinion, it is said, is also shared
by some of the members of the COM
mission, among them former Cover
nor John Lind; and he has taken oc-
casion to so state in remarks made
before the board. Of the seven or
eight general orders issued to date
by the board, five concern liquor and
moral uplift: Added to this have
been the launching of many plans
and schemes for the organization of
women's clubs and civic cooperation
generally. All the high cost of liv-
ing and other infections have receiv-
ed has been unused publicity urging
increased acreage and conservation.
An observer writing to the local pa
per thinks the commission might do
some good if it would buy several
hundred carloads of potatoes and
sell them to the people at cost. This
perhaps, is somewhat farfetched,~ but
it contains much food for thought.
The commission is composed of big
men and they have it in their power
to be of great aid to the state.

CAN SURPLUS FOOD; USE
JARS AND CANS WISELY

Don't have an empty preserving
jar in your home next fall.
There may be some difficulty in
securing cans and preserving jars.
Reserve regular tight-sealing con-
tainers for vegetables, concentrated
soups, meats and fish.
Concentrate products so that each
jar or can will hold as much food and
as little water as possible.
Put up jams, jellies, and preserves
in glasses sealed with cork or paper
and paraffin. Pack fruit juice in or
dinary bottles.
Don't can anything that can be
kept just as we'll dried or in other
forms. Dry navy and mature Lima
beans for winter use.
Produce in your garden lots of
cabbage, potatoes, and root crops
that can be kept for the winter
