CHAPTER Ill.
The Crevasse.

The CreVaSSe.
For an hour before the Hannah
reached Katma Miss O'NeiTl was busy
getting her little brood ready. Her
heart was as tender as a Madonna to
these lambs so i'll fitted to face frigid
waste. Their mother had been a good
woman. She could tell that. But she
had no way of knowing what kind of
man their father might be. When they
said their shifting good-bys at Katma
she was suspiciously bright and
merry. Soon the children were laugh
ing again with her.
One glance at their father, who in
troduced himself to Miss O'Neill as
John Hustled, relieved her mind great
~. His spontaneous delight at seeing
them again and his choking gratitude
to her for having looked after them
were evidence enough that this kind
eyed man meant to be both father and
mother to his recovered little folks.
Her temporary family stood on the
end Of the wharf and called good-bys
! to the girl. When they turned away
she went directly to her room.
Elliot was passing forward when
Miss O'Neill opened her stateroom
door to go in. The eyes Of the young
woman were blinded with tears and
she was biting her lip to keep back
the emotion that welled up. He knew
she was very fond of the motherless
children, but he guessed at an addi-
| tional reason for her sobs. She, too,
was as untaught as a child in the life
of this frontier land. Whatever she
found here-how much of hardship or
happiness or grief or woe-she knew
that she had left behind forever the
safe harborage Of quiet waters in
which her life craft had always f1oated.
1t came on to rain in the afternoon.
Heavy clouds swept across from the
mountains, and the sodden sky opened
| like a sluice-box. The Kusiak -contin-
gent, driven indoors, resorted to
| bridge. Miss O'NeiII read. Gordon Ell
| liOtt wrote letters, dawdled over mag
azines, and lounged alternately in the
ladies' parlor and the smoking room.

Of sour-dough miners had settled them
selves to a poker game that was to
last all night and well into the next
day.
OF the two bridge tables all the
players were old-timers except Mrs
Mallory. She had come In over the
ice for the first time last winter. The
other women felt that she was a bird
of passage, that the frozen Arctic
could be no more than a within to her
They deferred q little to her because
she knew the great world-New York
Vienna, London, Paris. Great names
fell from her lips casually and care
lessly. She was full Of spicy little
anecdotes about German royalty and
the British aristocracy. 1t was no won
der, Gordon Elliot thought, that she
had rather stunned the little social Sc
of Kusiak.

New Methods for Old Courses.

To teach children the fundamentals American citiz enshp better than done before ideal of Milton C. Potter superintendent of schools in Mil waukee. To do this, arranged course of study including civics history and geography that will give children with only school education an ade- quate foundation the city state and nation
 The old of the same name were too often un- related the daily life of embryo citizens They were matters of and dates and theories quite apart from anything actually going the outside the school room
 And for mental discipline Mir Potter says: This is in judgment training reasoning from known through daily observation or deli crate research that will make scholar better citizen
 What the child learns in the class will linked with voluntary service school the neighborood and in the community. At school Americanzation will take the form of clean desks collection paper protection of smaller children respecting school prop. erty In the neghborhood the same ideals will work ed out-protecting the neighbors lawns, flowers and shubbery; being kind dumb animals, etc. Com munity work will broaden as fast as the children de velop, from promoting Fourth of July celebrations to an active interest and participating in civic affairs Even grammar school youngsters after such course will be able debate topics as municipal ownership control lines telephone and lighting sys- tens; commission form of government; cash payment for improvements bond issues etc At least that is the hope of MT. Potter.
 He admits that many of the ideas the children will have to offer first will be crude But he expects to stimulate their interest things encourage dependent thinking and successfully lay the founda, tions for intelligent citizenship later on

Arizona Infantry's
 Ten Months of War.

It year ago yesterday when a notorious bandit from the mountains Western Chihuahua paid his celebrated visit to Columbus, New Mexico. The entire nation with denncation the perpetrator crime and demanded his punishment One the instru ments selected, among many others the First Ar Infantry Now after ten months of border service this branch of the federal forces is about be out and is be wondered whether trial been complete success.
 But few militia contngents have been fortunate to be sent to guard what might called their This good fortune reserved for the units fros Texas New Mexico, California and Arizona On the sur face it would appear that they should be much in terested in the job hand than the who taken from civil life in Seattle, Washington, Providence Rhode Island places along the international boundary line which rescmbed in small degree their homes.
 The question naturally to whether or not the performance of the Southwestern guardsmen and partc ularly the Arizona soldiers has been above below or equal the the troops We are naturally inclined to the belief that the former is the case
 Considering what is a known fact: that the Ari guard imperfecy organized and poorly ed at the time of the call to the change men who constitute the First Infantry has been remarkable and has been for the good of all and of the state
 Blessed with better than-the average set of officers and having decidedly interest the Arizona border than most of the Eastern Northern and Southern guards the First Infantry has been doing level best That has been good and the people may feel justly proud of the from the colonel command 10 the last private recruited to the regiment

Boys in Khaki Are Making Preparations to Break Camp Within Next Few Days Glad to Get Back Home.

Preparations are under way by Ari- zona troops at Naco to break camp within a few days as the result of the nus ering out order received Thurs d~v bring Altrougi it WIS ot first announced that the 5Oys would BS mustered out at Douglas, March 15, it was reported yesterday that they would be mustered out at Naco This change is believed to have been caus- ed by the fact that if mustered out at Douglas, the guardsmen would be forced to break camp at Naco, pitch it again at Douglas and then break ca~-p a second time before leaving for home. By mastering cut at Naco, it will be necessary only to break the present camp.
 The guardsmen are all making prep arations to return at once to their homes in various parts Of the state. Now that it is certain that they will be on their way home inside of few weeks, the guards are forgetting any discontent over the inconvenience they bore while on the border and are coming to the conclusion that after aH is said their stay was a good out ing and brought many beneficial re- suits.
