state which has given much conserv-

urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber In
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn In their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and to cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoomed to worthlessness as
timber. no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is n
human moral in the crooked stick part
of 1t, says an exchange. The same

appeal issued to New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions. but

to the front. The country can't tnke
chances with scOundrels. 1t must cut

Helen Demands Her Price.

An automobile had stopped on the
edge of the crowd. Its occupant, an
elegantly gowned I young woman,
curious to learn the cause of the ex-
element, alighted and edged a path
through the mob. 1t was Alice Martin,
on her way home from a matinee. She
was genuinely distressed when she req

fallen from the skies, was the where
withal to provide it. But neither her
husband nor her eldest daughter
should know of this stroke of luck
The note was folded carefully and Sc
creted in a stocking
When at last he and the summer
parted, John pretended to enter his
own car. AS soon as his self-elected
guide had sped off in her own limou-
sine. he sent his car home and strolled
into a neighboring park
There, a prey to disturbing thoughts,
he sat on a seat beneath some trees
and watched a number of children at
play.
He was startled from this mournful
reyerie by a loud shout, and the sud-
den running of passersby to an orna-
mental bridge which spanned, at u con-
siderable height, a lake meandering
through the park. Out of the tail of
his eye he saw a girl poised on the
parapet Then, with a despairing cry,
the poor creature flung herself into
the water.
1t was palpably a case of attempted
suicide, yet not a man among the score
or more who had seen her climb the
railing attempted other means of res
cue than wild shouting for the police
and frantic gesticulations to boat far
too distant to render timely aid. Tear
ing off his coat as he went, John raced
to the nearest point on the bank, and
plunged in.
He was able to wade out some part
of the way, until the water rose to his
| breast, when he began to swim. A few
powerful and determined strokes
brought him to the spot where the girl
had disappeared. Her hat was al
| ready floating down stream, but he had
mentally marked the exact locality
where she had taken that fearSome
plunge, and knew that there alone
could he find her. His judgment had
not erred. A white face, renderd I'M
recognizable by the luxuriant golden
brown hair that covered it, rose close
| at hand. In a second John had seized
| the drowning girl by the shoulders.
| Then, turning on his back, he kicked
his return vigorously to the bank.
With a tender hand he brushed the
i tangled hair from her face.
Good God ~ he muttered.
He had rescued the pretty assistant
| whom he had seen that morning at the
notion counter of the big department

FIFTH EPISODE
The Way of a Woman
A Modern Cinderella.


The conditions of poverty are such
that wisdom seldom indeed can be-
come it's handmaiden. 1t would seem
to be logical, as an instance, that pow
erty would at least choose its habitat
in the open air and under the blue
skies of the country in preference to
the fetid slums of the city. UnfOrtu-
nately, however, more real misery,
more abject want, centers within a
square mile of some densely populated
working-class quarter than in ten
thousand square miles of prairie.
For instance, the Ray family, whose
typical case now comes under review,
would have been vastly better off as
the veriest squatters living at the far
thest end of beyond than as tenants
of a tiny fiat in busy manufacturing
