as a foot had done before. Little by
little she dropped back. Kazan
forged to her side, every ounce of his
magnificent strength in the traces. By
the time they were on the river chan
mel again Joan was at the back of the
sledge, following in the trail made by
Kazan. She was powerless to help
him. She felt more and more the lead
en- weight OF her legs. There was but
one hope-and that was the forest. II
they did not reach it soon, within half
an hour. she would be able to go no
farther. Over and over again she
moaned a prayer for her baby as she
struggled on. She fell In the snow
drifts. Kazan and the sledge became
only a dark blotch to her. And then,
all at once, she saw that they were
leaving her. They were not more than
twenty feet ahead of her-but the
blotch seemed to be vast distance
away. Every bit of life and strength
in her body was now bent upon reach
ing the sledge-and baby Joan.
1t seemed an interminable time be-
fore she gained. With the sledge only
six feet ahead of her. she struggled
for what seemed to aher to be an hour
before she could reach out and touch
it. With a moan she flung herself for
ward, and fell upon 1t. She no longer
heard the wailing OF the storm. She
no longer felt discomfort. With her
face in the furs under which baby Joan
was buried. there came to her with
swiftness and Joy a vision of warmth
and home. And then the vision faded
away, and was followed by deep night.

drew herself to her feet. For a mo-
ment Joan took his shaggy head be-
tween her two hands.
"Wolfr' she moaned. "Oh, Wolfw
She went on, her breath coming
pantingly now, even from her brief ex-
ertion. The snow was not so deep on
the Ice of the river. But a wind was
rising. 1t came from the north and
east, straight in her face, and Joan
bowed her head as she pulled with Ka-
zan. Half a mile down the river she
stopped, and no longer could she re-
press the hopelessness that rose to
her lips in a sobbing, choking cry.
Forty miles She clutched her hands
at her breast, and stood breathing like
one who had been beaten, her back to
the wind. The baby was quiet. Joan
went back and peered down under the
furs, and what she saw there spurred
her on again almost fercely. Twice
she stumbled to her knees in the drifts
during the next quarter of a mile.
After that there was q stretch Of
wind-swept Ice, and Kazan pulled the
sledge alone. Joan walked at his side.
There was pain In her chest. A thou
sand needles seemed pricking her face,
and suddenly she remembered the Their
mometer. She exposed 1t for a time
on the top of the tent. When she looked
at 1t a few minutes later it was 80 de-
grees below zero. Forty miles And
her father had told her that she could
make it-and could not lose herself
But she did not know that even her
father would have been afraid to face
the north that day, with the tempera-
ture at 80 below, and a moaning wind
bringing the first warning of a bliz-
card.
The timber was far behind her now,
Ahead there was nothing but the pitt
less barren, and the timber beyond
that was hidden by the gray gloom OF
the day. If there had been trees
Joan's heart would not have choked 80
with terror. But there was nothing
nothing but that gray, ghostly gloom
with the rim of the sky touching the
earth a mile away.
The snow grew heavy under her feet
again. Always she was watching fol
those treacherous, frost-coated traps
in the Ice her father had spoken Of
But she found now that all the ice and
snow looked alike to her, and thai
there was a growing pain back of hel
eyes. 1t was the intense cold.
The river widened into small lake
and here the wind struck her In tn,
face with such force that her weigh

inches of snow impeded her as mucl

1t was dawn when the baby snuggled
close to Joan's warm breast AID

She opened her eyes, brushed back the
thick hair from her face, and could see
where the shadowy form of her father
was lying at the other side Of the tent.
He was very quiet, and she was

very near to exhaustion, and so for

Kazan's alert eyes saw Pierre start
suddenly. He rose from his seat on
the sledge and went to the tent. He
drew back the flap and thrust in his
head and shoulders.

shut off his wind. His legs and bach

Cigarette a National Menace.

< The government received revenue IN
1916 on 25, 232, 96O,92S paper'wrapped
cigarettes, which exceeded the number
manufactured in 1915 by about 40 per
cent. AS soon as the whiskey evil IS
checked, if not altogether stamped out,
those who are interested in eliminating
the things that devitalize and destroy
the human body should then turn their
attention to tobacco, particularly the
cigarette. Teeming thousands of men
who are hewers of wood and drawers
of water all of their lives could trace
their unfortunate lot to the cigarette.
In their early youth the cigarette not
only sapped their energy and ambition
but seriously impaired them morally
and physically.
One reason for the enormous increase
in the consumption of cigarettes dur
ing the past year is the steady increase
in the number of women who smoke.
1t is bad enough for the hands of
bright boy to be stained with nicotine
but it is infinitely worse for beautiful
girl to be thus polluted. Surely some
thing should be done to decrease the
cigarette menace.

sprinkle few seeds upon the water.
This added attraction will make the
bath become q habit with the little

To keep flowers fresh, place pinch
of bicarbonate of soda In the water
before putting them into vase.
To make glassware clear and spark
ling, add q little washing blue to the
soapsuds when washing.
If ink is spilled on the carpet or. ta-
BILE cover, cover it Immediately with
salt as it absorbs the ink.
Powdered alum added to ordinary
stove blacking adds to it's brilliancy.
Oxalic acid and javelle water are
excellent for removing ink stains.

Use Every Possible Precaution.

Edgefeld has not had g very disas-
trous fire in some time, butno one
knows how soon the flames vii! devour
building after building, home after
home. Do not let such disaster be-
fall the community through your care
lessness. See that the danger from
fire is reduced to minimum on your
premises. Be careful with ashes when
they are removed from the fireplace
Countless homes are burned by Goals
in an ash-box left on the piazza or un-
der the house. See also that leaves do
rot accumulate on the roof where
sparks are liable to ignite them. 100
much care can not be exercised at this
season. A little precaution may save
your home from being reduced to ash
