CHAPTER XXI.
De Spain Worries.

They parted that evening under the
shadow of Music mountain, agreed to
meet in Calabasas Just as soon as Nan
could get away. She hoped, she told
him, to bring good news. De Spain
arranged his business to wait ut Gala
basas for her, and was there, after
two days, doing little but waiting and
listening TO McAlpins stories about
the fire and surmiscs as to strange
men thatA lurked in and about the
place. But De Spain, knowing Jeffries
was making an Independent investi-
CATION into the affair, gave 10 heed to
McAlpin's suspicious.
To get away from the barn boss, De
Spain took refuge In riding. The sea
son was drawing en- toward winter,
and rain clouds drifting at intervals
down from the mountains nade the
saddle n less dependable escape from
the monotony of Calabasas. Several
days passed with no sight of Nan
and no Word from her. De Spain, as
the hours and days went by, scanned
| the horizon with increasing solcitude,
! When he woke on the sixth morning
he WIS resolved to send scout into
the gap to learn what he could Of the
situation. The long silence, De Spain
knew. portended nothing good. He

Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is inn

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions,

The New York Sun: So much has
been said and written on Socialism
after the war;" and the speakers and
writers have been So calmly con-
fident in their assertions on the side
of socialism. that it has come to be
taken for granted by many people
that the ending of the war will be
a socialist triumph and the begin
ming Of a new world social power.
What the social democrats have
done or attempted to do in Germany
is Oftenest cited as sample Of So
cialist benevolence. They are credit
ed, both in their own ranks and by
socialist leaders in other countries,
with some marvellous strength that
shall strike down the gods of war
and bring peace and plenty to n suf-
fering world; and they are prepar-
ed, when peace appears. to rise and
bow their acknowledgements.
But this habit of thought, this
ready concession to socialism, will
bear some examination. Not only
has the war continued for more than
three years, growing constantly
more terrible and more costly, but
its only possible end is in the defeat
of one side. A socialist crying for
peace contributes nothing to victory
Germany Is not the hope of a Ger
man social uprising merely, but the
belief that war suffering must
eventually pass the limits Of human
endurance. Germany will be beaten
by her enemies, not by her socialists.
The defeat will argue nothing for
socialism.
So much for the German socialists,
whose faith without works is the
cruelest political joke of all history.
And as for socialism in America and
the countries of our allies-where is
the socialist prestige there2 Mock
cry of every fine tradition, obstruc-
ton Of every high motive have been
the chief socialist activities. There
may have been a considerable gain
in the numbers Of socialist voters
an inevitable development in a per-
Tod of change and uncertainty-bu
a socialist voter Is not necessarily a
socialist. There may be a half dozen
new political parties. excited groups
who blame the existing order for
their tribulations, and there may be
a gain for socialism" as long as
the, keener political consciousness
wrought by the war remains But
this is not the red festooned era
promised by the prophets OF so
cialism after the war"
Peace waits on the defeat of Ger
many-the triumph Of one legion of
peoples over another, Of one code of
ideals over another.
Socialism is e flare in the dark,
promising refuge which does not
exist. The daylight of peace will
tame the fire to its old. sickly vel
low.

was not in effect when the first ca
came. 1t says:
The government announces
that men awaiting draft will be
divided into five classes, so that
single men without dependents
and men unconnected with es-
sential industries will be called
to the cOlors ahead Of married
men, those having other depend
ent relatives and those regularly
employed in essential industries.
This is a decided improvement
over the system heretofore in
vogue, under which there was no
distinction except such as was
made by the decision Of appeal
boards. It Is obvious that un-
married men without dependent,
relatives and not engaged in es-
sential industries can better be
spared from their civilian pur-
suits than, the restricted classes,
though the latter are not, by
reason Of their class. exempted
from military duty.
1t is to be regretted that the
new system. was not in force at
the outset. Undoubtedly there
are many men now drafted who,
under the new order of things,
would be left at home. Pride
would keep many men from
claiming exemption before ap-
peal boards who. under the new
classifications, would automa-
tically be reserved and kept at
useful employment and the sup
port of their families until the
list of men without dependent
relatives or essential industrial
pursuits had been exhausted.
