In the morning Olnna did not show
herself outside the cabin, though
Hardy called a kindly good morning
to her. Her brother, with one arm
carefully bandaged and in a sling,
brought out the breakfast that she
cooked. He looked SO weak and un.
steady that Hardy ut ono assented
when he mumbled that he wished to
go back to bed and rest until the
council.

Vandervyn shrugged, and said no
more. Half an hour or so later he
asked permission to use Hardy's pen

"YOu know very well | cannot do
that. Yet II you refuse to give me

Vandervyn burst into n cynical
laugh. "Do you think Jake's the sort
to care.

ter Is at stake"
Precisely. He thinks rm her one

and again he bent forward as If to
leap at his rival. Hardy stood cold
and motlOnless In the dim starlight.
The younger man checked himself.
His voice shook with suppressed an

Until l I'm relieved from my pres
ent detail, I shall consider myself the
guardian Of everyone and everything
belonging to the tribe" stated Hardy.
There followed q silence Of several
moments duration, In which Wander
vyn must have found time to reflect.
He drew back a step or two, lit his
pipe, and at last remarked In n some
what forced tone of Cancellation: 81

"Yery we'll" replied Hardy.
Vandervyn started OFF, sucking at
his pipe. Hardy turned about, and
locked the door on the outside with
the heavy paddock that hung loose In
the jamb staple. lie put the key In his
pocket, and walked around the cabin
to make certain that there were no
other openings larger than the narrow
crevices Of the loOpholes.
When he returned to the tree, he
found Vandervyn already outstretched.

down the slope, to spend the night In

were seemingly fast asleep.
After several minutes Vandervyn
spoke to his companion In a low tone.
Hardy did not answer. Vandervyn
drew out his pipe and struck a match.

There is rumor creeping softly and insiduously about this country to the effect that the government will, in the near future, call upon the lads under 20 years of age to shoulder the musket and go to the battle fronts of Europe.
 Whence this rumor comes and who is responsible for it's life and being is not apparent. Presumably. it found birth amid the thousands of pages written about the historical fact that all wars have been won by young men, but there is no one of any standing or official importance in the nation who seem to be either directly or indirect ly responsible for it's creation. Never theless this rumor exists, and is to no little degree disturbing and agitat, ing the mothers of the land, bringing to them many fears and alarms and much mental apprehension and dis trcss.
 It is time to put an end to it's further progress, and the best way to silence it once and for all is for the President to give an authoritative announcement on the subject. That he would do this, if convinced that the mothers of the country are really alarmed is a fore gone conclusion, for MT. Wilson would be the last man in the world to permit mental apprehension and suffering to exist, when word from him could forever allay the dread that occasions it.
 Secretary Baker, we believe, has al ready indirectly announced that no lad under 21 would ever be forced into the army, and the discussion of draft age, both in the House and in the Sen ate, already had, would indicate that none of the younger boys will be call ed upon until there has been eXhaus- tion of the population, not only in ages ranging between 2l and 3l, but even up to and including the age of 45. This would mean that the war would have to be brought into our own country, to our own very hearthstones before the raw schoolboys would be called out.
 This opinion, however, Is based on conclusions drawn from speeches, ut terances and announcements, all of an
