work. They won't work. We know
that. They'll be all alone in that cabiy

The Frenchman in Baptiste shrugged
his shoulders, but the Indian in him
was silent. Nevertheless it was an,
eloquent shrug, pregnant with proph-
ecy. 3d. -. E0s..
Things prospered in the little cabin
at first. The rough badinage of their
comrades had made Weatherbee and
Cuthfert conscious Of the mutual re-
sponsibility which had .devolved upon
them. Besides, there was not so much
work, after all, for two healthy men.
And the removal of the cruel whip
hand, or, in other words, the BULLDOG
ing half, breed, had brought with it a
joyous reaction. At first each strove
to Guido the other, and they performed
petty tasks with an JUNCTION which
would have opened the eyes of their
comrades who were now wearing out
bodies and souls on the long trail. =:
All care was banished. The forest
which shouldered in upon them from
three sides, was an inexhaustible wood
yard. A few yards from their door
slept the porcupine, and hole through
its winter robe formed bubbling
spring of water, crystal clear and pain
fully cold. But they soon grew to find
fault with even that. The hole would
persist in freezing UP and thus gave
them many miserable hour Of ice
chopping. The unknown builders of
the cabin had extended the side logs
so as to support cache at the rear.
In this was stored the bulk of the par,
tvs provisions. Food there was, with
out stint, for three times the men who
were fated to live upon it. But the
most Of it was of the kind which built

up brain and sinew, but did not tickle
the palate. True. there was sugar in
plenty for two ordinary men, but these
two were little else than children.
They early discovered the virtues Of
hot water judiciously saturated with
sugar, and they prodigally swan their
fapjacks and soaked their crusts in
the rich, white strip. Then coffee and
tea, and especially the dried fruits,
made disastrous inroads upon it, The
first words they had were over the
sugar question. And it is a really seri-
GUS thing when two men wholly de-
pendent upon each other for company
begin to quarrel.
Weatherbee loved to discourse bla-
family on politics, while Cuthfert, who
had been prone to clip his coupons and
let the commonwealth jog on as best
it might, either ignored the subject or
delivered himself of startling epigrams.
But the clerk was too obtuse to appre-
ciate. the clever shaping Of thought,
and this waste Of ammunition irritated
Cuthfert. He had been used to blind
ing people by his brilliancy, and it
worked him quite a hardship, this
loss Of an audience. He felt PERSONAL
~ aggrieved and unconsciously held
his muttonhead companion responsible
for it. ~, .., 49,. ..5@
Save existence, they had nothing in
common-came in touch on no single
point. Weatherbee was clerk who
had known naught but clerking all his
life; Cuthfert was a master of arts, a
dabbler in oils and had written not
little. The one was lower class man
who considered himself gentleman.
and the other. was gentleman who
knew himself to be such. From this
it may be remarked. that man can
be a gentleman without possessing the
first instinct of true comradeship The
very presence Of either became per-
sonal affront to the other, and they
lapsed into sullen silences which in
creased in length and strength as the
days went by. Occasionally the flash
Of an eye or the curl Of lip got the
better Of them, though they strove to

BELIEVE BRAIN IN STOMACH
Chinese Ignorant of the Anatomy O
Human Body-Subject of Mi
crobes Difficult to Teach.

Ignorance is responsible for the
guesswork of the Chinese about the
anatomy of the human body, Jean
Price writes in World Outlook. "Noth-
ing is known Of the nervous system
or of the circulation of the blood, and
every organ except the brain is said
to have pulse. The heart is consid-
cred to be the center Of being, and
therefore it must also be in the CEN
ter of the b ,dy.'' The Chinese also
believe that the brain is in the stom-
ach. Perhaps that is the reason that
more than half the thought and con-
versation of the common people re-
lates to food!
It is ignorance which makes a moth
er chew her child's food, before put
ting it in the little ones month. It is
ignorance which allows mother to-
wash the clothes in a green. stagnanf
pool while the child at her side eager
ly drinks the same water. It is ignor-
ance which our mission doctors have
to fight when they suggest that wom-
en- should not use poisonous face
paint, should battle the baby at least
once before it is grown, should wash
the dishes once a month in clean wa
ter. This ignorance makes the SUBJ
ject of microbes more difficult to teach
than the English in which it is taught.
And, though it's hard to say. it is
ignorance which causes a lover to
take water in which his body is
washed and secretly mix it in the
drink Of his loved one. But, then, that
is romance and we mustn't mention
germs in the same breath.

thing they had whispered to him in
his dreams was about to happen. They
guided him gently, very gently, to the
woodpile, where they put the ak in
his hands. Then they helped him
shove open the cabin door, and he felt
sure they shut it after him-at least
he heard it slam and the latch fall
sharply into place. And he knew they
were waiting just without, waiting for
him to do his task.

Percy Cuthfert was frightened at
the look on the clerks face. and he
made haste to put the table between
them. ,.
Carter Weatherbee followed without
haste and without enthusiasm. There
was neither pity nor passion in his

of one who has certain work to do and

10000 Machinists

 (Conttnued From Page One) Tool company.
 One of the main features of the sit uation today is that the threatened sympathetic strike of 6,000 workers, which was prophesied by the business agent of the Machinists' Union, did not materialize.
 According to government officials in Bridgeport the strikers have ignored the appeals which have been made to them by Washington and seem bent upon forcing the local manufac- turers to yield to their demands.
 In the attitude taken by the ma chinists it appears as though they doubted the sincerity of the loca manufacturers and one of their de mands is that the manufacturers sigr a document which will guarantee the strict adherence to the terms award ed by the Taft-Walsh board in Wash | ington.
