CHAPTER XIV.
The Awakening.

The Awakening.
With the opening of spring and the
close of the shedding season, work had
stopped at Adams camp. Rather, the
entire plant had been shipped twenty
miles deeper into the forest-mill,
clubhouse, cook shed and such CORFU
gated-lron shacks as were worth cart
ing away,
All that was left on the site of the
busy camp were huge heaps of saw
dust, piles of slabs, discarded tlmbers
and the half-burned bricks into which
had been built the portable boiler and
engine,
And old Judy Mason. She was not
considered worth moving to the new
site Of the camp. She was bedridden
with rheumatism. This was the report
Tim, the hackman, had brought in.
The old woman's husband had gone
with the outfit to the new camp, for he
could not afford to give up his work.
Judy had not been so bad when the
camp was broken up, but when Tim
went over for q .oad of slabs for
summer frewood he discovered her
quite helpless in her bunk and almost
starving. The rheumatic attack had
become serious.
Amanda Parlow had at once ridden
over with Doctor Nugent
"How brave and helpful 1t Is of Miss
Amanda !" Carolyn May cried. Dear
me; when l grow up hope l can be a
Gradjerate nurse like Miss Mandy"
"a reckon that's some spell ahead"
chuckled Mr.. Parlow, to whom she
said this when he picked her up for a
drive after taking his daughter to the
camp.
"Mr Parlow," the girl ventured after
time, don't you think now that Miss
Amanda ought to be happy?"
Happy" exclaimed the carpenter,
startled, What about, chlld?"
"Why, about everything. You know,
once l asked you about her being hap
py and-and you didn't seem IA
v'rable. You said Bahv"
The old man made no reply for q
minute and Carolyn May had the pa.
thence to wait for her suggestion to
"sink in" Finally he said:
II dunno but you're right, Car'lyn
May. Not that it matters much, l
guess, whether a body's happy or not
In this world" he added grudgingly.
"Oh, yes, it does, Mr.. Parlowl 1t
matters a great deal, l am sure-to
us and to other people. If we're not
happy inside of us, how can we be
cheerful outside, and so make other
people happy And that is what I
mean about Miss Amanda"
"What about Mandy?"
"She isn't happy" sighed Carolyn
May. "Not really. She's just as good
as good can be. She is always doing
for folks and helping. But she can't
be real happy"
"Why not?" growled Mr.. Parlow, his
face turned away.
"Why-'cause- Well, you know,
Mr.. Parlow, she can't be happy as long
as she and my Uncle Joe are mad ct
each other"
Mr.. Parlow uttered another grunt,
but the child went bravely on.

don't know what to do about 1t. It

Great Change

Washington, May 24.-The far
reaching character of the neH
work or fight" regulations under
which the government proposes to
put every man of draft age into
some useful employment or into the
army, probably will not be fully
realized by the country until the
effects of its operation appear in
every community.
The sweeping character of the
governments purpose to put every
able man of draft age either into
the army or some useful occupation
is indicated by Provost Marshal
General CrowGer's official an
nouncement, but inasmuch as every
case will come up for determina
tion on its merits as the operation
of the regulation goes forward. it
will become apparent that the scope
of the governments action princi
pally is limited.
The new regulations probably
will be more and more closely plac-
ed as the war goes on, or until it
becomes necessary 10 raise the
draft. age above 81. Military
authorities are of the opinion now
that il will not be necessary TO
raise the draft age.
The first effect of the new regu-
lations will be to drive idlers TO
work or into the army. Moreover,
it will be the idler's own RESPONSE
bility TO get a useful job before
July /. Then will come the deter
mination of what constitutes usefuI
employments. An employment rea-
sonably useful under the present
conditions might, by the develop
ments of the war. come to be con-
sidered useless in comparison with
the greater needs of the war
