A kitchen cabinet is just as impor-

to the workman or the laboratory desk

keeper can sit down comfortably with

height to enable the worker to sit at
her work at the cabinet. The home
made cabinet shown in the illustration
Is sanitary, convenient, and attractive.
It is especially suitable and compact
for kitchens In which cabinet space is
limited.
A homemade cabinet can be built
with moderate expense II outside labor

ber and labor must be purchased, the
cost will equal that Of a ready.made

Of good wood. well seasoned. That Is

Brutality Was the Chief Thing Writ
ten In His Face.

hrst time since the preceding winter
that Gray Wolf had caught the scent Of
man In the air. When the wind brought
the danger-signal to her she was alone.
Two or three minutes before the scent
came to her Kazan had left her side In
swift pursuit Of q snow-shoe rabbit,
and she lay fat on her belly under a
bush. waiting for him. In these mo-
ments when she was alone Gray Wolf
was constantly smiling the air. Blind
ness had developed her scent and
hearing until they were next to in
fallible. First she had heard the rattle
Of Sandy McTrigger's paddle against
the side Of his canoe quarter Of a
mile away. Scent had followed swift
ly. Five minutes after her warning
howl Kdzan stood at her side, his head
flung up, his jaws open and painting.
Sandy had hunted Arctic foxes, and he
was using the Eskimo tactics now,
swinging in q half-circle until he should
come up in the face of the wind. Ka-
zan caught a single whiff Of the man
tainted air and his spine grew stifr.
But blind Gray Wolf was keener than
the little red-eyed fox of the north. Her
pointed nose slowly followed Sandy's
progress. She heard dry stick crack
under his feet three hundred yards
away. She caught the metallic click OF
his gun-barrel as 1t struck a birch sap
ling. The moment she lost Sandy In
the wind she whined and rubbed her
self against Kazan and trotted few
sfopu to tho co,,thuoSf
At times such as this Kakan seldom
refused to take guidance from her.
They trotted away side by side and BY
the time Sandy was creeping up snake
like with the wind in his face, Kazan
was ,peering from the fringe of river
brush down upon the canoe on the
white strip Of sand. When Sandy re-
turned, after an hour Of futile stalking.
two fresh tracks led straight down to
the canoe. He looked at them in amaze
ment and then a sinister grin wrinkled
hiD ugly face. He chuckled as he went
to his kit and dug out a small rubber
bag. From this he drew tightly
corked bottle, filed with gelatin cap
sules. In each little capsule were i've
grains Of strychnine. There were dark
hints that once upon time Sandy Nc
Trigger had tried one Of these capsules
by dropping 1t In a cup Of coffee and
giving 1t to man, but the police had
never proved 1t. he was expert in the
use Of poison. Probably he had killed

One afternoon he ran his canoe
ashore ON a white strip of sand. This
was at bend, where the stream had
widened, and gave promise of at least
a few colors. He had bent down close
to the edge of the water when some
thing caught his attention on the wet
sand. What he saw were the footprints
Of animals. Two had come down to
drink. They had stood side by side.
And the footprints were fresh-made
not more than an hour or two before.
A gleam of interest shot into Sandy's
eyes. He looked behind him, and up
and down the stream.

"a shot at 'em with that old minute-gun
back there. Gawd-listen to that And
in broad daylight. tooI'
He jumped to his feet, staring on
into the bush.
A quarter Of mile away Gray Wolf
had caught the dreaded scent Of man
In the wind, and was giving voice to
her warning. It was a long wailing
howl, and not until Its last echoes had
died away did Sandy McTrigger move.
Then he returned to the canoe, took
out his old gun. put fresh cap on the
nipple and disappeared quickly over
the edge of the bank.
For a week Kazan and Gray Wolf
had been wandering about the headwa-
ters Of the McFarlane and this was the

Kaiser Risks All
On LudendOrff

with the political consideration over
weighing the military. He was con
cerned. not primarily with saving
Germany, but with saving the military
autocracy, of which he was the head
and front. Every retreat lowered his
tprestige at home. Could he hold the
Hindenburg line until winter set in a
way might be opened for peace by
negotiation which would save the mil
| itary autocracy. But to try was to
risk ALL
Only after the defeat of the Hin
denburg line did Ludendorff face the
truth and then it was much too late
Unconditional surrender was now the
demand of victorious enemy; the
military autocracy had lost the con-
! fdence, the support of the German ma
ton. The great strength of the Ger
man military machine had lain in the
| splendid tradition of century of vic
| tory Waterloo, Sadowa and Sedan
these victories and their profits had
reconciled, even converted the Ger
man people to a faith in militarism,
which, however heavy-handed, paid
in dividends which were unmistak-
able and were shared by all Germans
| in some degree.
War to Beat AutOcracy.
| But if the military autocracy earn
ed, not dividends, but debts, achieved
not victories, but disasters, if it ever
! lost the prestige of victory it was
doomed. A defeated general or a
beaten army-nothing is more pitiful
Military autocracy is only dangerous
when it is victorious. 1t cannot en-
dure, much less survive, defeat.
That is why all the world, which is
! informed has insisted that this wal
| should go to military decision, well
| knowing that such a decision would
carry death sentence for the Ger
man military caste.
From the second Marine to the col
lapse of the Hindenburg line, Luden-
dorff has been playing desperately
for delay, for the coming of winter tC
permit settlement by negotiation
that would leave Germany some prof.
it, which, in its turn, would serve tt
restore the prestige of the military
autocracy. Hitherto, after the west.

victories. While they lost battles il

On the military side Ludendorff is
the last and most distinguished vic

RY Frank H. Simonds.

New Y0ry-The passing of Luden-
dorff is something more than were the
exits of the younger Moltke and Falk-
enhayn. Like them he failed to bring
off the great decision, and like them
he was doomed as all unsuccessful
generals must be doomed, by their
own failures. But Ludendorff was
more than an unsuccessful general; he
was a symbol; he was the final hope
of German militarism which staked
all upon him. When he failed the
military autocracy fell Sedan blew
the last vestige of the tinsel glory OF
the Napolionic tradition out of French
imagination. On the morrow of Sc
dan France remained, but the evil
Napoleonic sham was gone forever.
When Ludendorff undertook his
great gamble last spring Germany
was in the position of Napoleon in
1913. When he had won the victory
of March 81, Ludendorff was in the
situation of the great emperor after
Dresden. The moment had come to
make peace while the prestige of vic
tory still remained, but when the
change of supreme triumph had al
ready gone glittering. The mastery
but the retentiOns of great conquests
and assured position at home and
abroad was still unchallenged.
Decides to Gamble All.
Like Napoleon, Ludendorff chose to
stake all, risk all, win or lose all, in
the pursuit of world power. He was
the incarnation of the German au-
tocratic ambition to repeat the
achievement of the Caesars and rule
not alone the European continent, but
the Asiatic and the African 'Mittel
Europa" was still the goal Profit
able peace, peace necessary for the
German empire and the exhausted al
lies of Germany was put out of the
calculation. As Napoleon went tC
Leipsic, LudenGorff marched to the
second Marine.
After the second Marine, Luden-
dorff's position was always desper-
ate. He could and did execute q
brilliantly successful retreat out oil
the Marine salient But any further
retreat would be an advertisement tC
the world that the German military
autocracy had lost the war. On the
military side swift and wide retreat
was unavoidable. On the political
side such a retreat would at once
prove to the enemy that Germany was
beaten and to the German people thai
they had not merely lost the war. bur
would have to pay the cost. It was
