keep his. thoughts clear. Stealthily,
without seeming to do so. he was set
ting his muscles for a spring.
The only answer to his words was
laugh-a roaring laugh of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter. his intent, catlike vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw chance; feeble

had seen IT, she fairly leaped at him.
Her warm, round arms around his
neck. and the softest. loveliest lips In
the world pressed his. But In those

You haven't any cause TO thank me-"
He had many serious difficulties in
thinking II out. And only one con-
clusion was obtainable-that SnOwbird
kissed as naturally as she did any
thing else. and the kiss meant exactly
what she said il did and no more.
Put the fact remained that he would
have walked good many miles far
ther If he thought there was any pos
sibility of a repeat.
But all at once his fantasies were
suddenly and rudely dispelled by the
intrusion of realities. Dan had been
needles. As Lennox had wondered at
long ago. he knew how by instinct;
and instinctiyely he practiced this at
tainment as soon, as he got out into
the wild. The creature he had heard
was fully one hundred yards distant,
yet Dan could hear him with entire
plainness. And for while he couldn't
even guess what manner of thing it
might he.
A cougar that made so much noise
would be Immediately expelled from
the union. A wolf pack. running by
sight. might crack brush as freely;
but wolf pack would also bay TO
an elk or steer, and still more likely,
bear. He stood still and listened.
The sound grew nearer.
Soon II became evident that the crea-
ture was either walking with two legs,
or else was fOur-footed animal put
az n
slant. Dan had learned to wait. He
stood perfectly still. And gradually
he came TO the conclusion that he
was listening TO the football of an
other man.
But ii was rather hard to imagine
what a man might be doing on this
lonely hill. OF course il might be
deer hunter; but few were the valley
sportsmen who had penetrated to>this
far land The football was much too
heavy for Snowbird. The steps were
evidently, on. another trail that inter-
sected his own trail one hundred yards
farther up the hill. He had only to
stand still, and in an instant the man
would come in sight.
He took one step into the thickets,
prepared to conceal himself if ii be-
came necessary. Then he waited. Soon
the man stepped out on the trail
Even at the distance of one hundred
yards, Dan had no difficulty whatever
in recognizing him. He could not
mistake this tall dark form. the soiled,
slouchy clothes, the rough hair, the
intent, dark features. 1t was man
about his own age, his own height.

TN its survey of the manufactur-
ing field to try to determine
the cause and effect of unjust
cancellation Of orders, the Fabri-
Gated Production Department Of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States reports that the per-
centage OF cancellations based
upon the failure OF business men
10 recognize the sacredness OF
contract was comparatively small.
The investigation revealed that
most cancellations are largely due,
directly or indirectly, TO chaotic
conditions arising from war times.
While IL is true that, the ma
jority OF business men scrupulous-
ly adhere TO their obligations and
look upon an order as binding
contract, there is a danger, the re-
port declares, that unless a def
mite stand is taken against any
tendency to regard cancellations
as unimportant, this evil may as
sumo serious proportions.

Paper Stock
Mr.. F. W. Schrumpf, of The
Cook Waste Paper Company, IL
IT o street northwest, reports
business in the paper stock in
dustry 10 be good. The only diff
ficulty at present being the I'M
certainty of the railroad situa-
ton.
The source Of supply for the
paper stock industry is the waste
paper gathered from the stores,
the various branches of the print
ing industry and the junk deal
ers.
The paper stock industry is
doing a lot in helping to relieve
the paper shortage, and as it in
creases production, the mer-
chants and branches of the print
ing trade who help this industry
by saving their waste paper will
reap a reward in lower prices
for wrapping, printing and all
kinds of paper.
The plant iof The Cook Waste
Paper Company is one of the
most modern paper stock plants
in the country. The buildings
were constructed purposely for
the business, having unusually
high ceilings to conserve floor
space.
The waste paper is brought TO
the plant by the fleet of large
trucks employed for this pur-
pose. The trucks are weighed
with their load on large truck
scales and then unloaded. The
waste paper is carried to the as
sorting room, by means of con-
veyor, where, as the name would
imply, the paper is assorted into
the various kinds and grades. and
placed in large hoppers. 1t is
carried from the hoppers by con-
veyers to the baling machines,
which age located near the large
loading platform. The bales are
loaded on large trucks and trans
ferred to the railroad cars and
shipT I'd to the large paper mills
to be made into new paper.

CAUSE OF INVESTIGATION.

The investigation was made in
response to complaints from bust
ness men all over the country that
production was being interfered
with, plants having shut down
even though production is below
normal and stocks In the hands of
wholesalers and retailers are light.
Several OF these complaints pro-
tested that contracts OF sale were
being utterly disregarded, and that
the buyer was willing to chance a
suit at law.
+. w. Mccullough, head of the
fabricated production department,
in his study of cancellations, went
deeply in the subject. He consid-
cred the matter from two aspects:
First, cancellations made for
good and sufficient reasons and
which should be accepted in the
best interest of both parties.
Second, cancellations, which,
while working a hardship on the
seller, should be accepted as indi-
eating good business discretion.
Under this heading were listed or
ders for seasonable goods bought
in larger quantities than usual,
which were Cancelled because of
unfavorable seasonable conditions
at time of shipment. This test ap-
piled to certain lines of clothing,
women's wear and farm ma
chinery.

Tough also took into consideration

TRADE ASSOCIATIONS AID.

Inquiry was sent TO LOG leading
trade associations, requesting them
to report on certain questions.
Some of the questions asked were:
Is your industry being affected
at this time by the so-called can
collation. evil and TO what extent?
q State most common reason
given for cancellation.
Has, or will, your association
take any action in this matter7
State what.
If your members accept cancel
lations, under what conditions
Have your members in times Of
large production in securing or
ders, inserted cancellation clauses
in order or contract?
Would you cooperate in a gen
eral effort to reduce the number of
cancellations by proper methods?
According to the replies, the re-
sponsibility for many cancella-
lions was chargeable in part to
the seller as we'll as to the buyer.
Some Of the chief reasons for can
cellations are as follows: Inability
to make prompt delivery; over
stock; business declining; revision
of production schedule; financial
embarrassment. Some replies in
dicated also that the public will
not buy at present prices.
The survey developed that sew
eral organizations have created a
bureau of contracts to deal with
all claims for cancellation of or
ders. These bureaus act simply
in an advisory way, receiving from
the complainant a statement Of
facts as a basis for investigation,
in due time rendering an advisory
report, and in some cases endeav-
orig to secure settlement if de-
sired.
Final analysis of the investiga-
ton made it plain that almost ev-
cry phase of business is affected
by this problem.

CASE OF L0HRISCH

with this degree of injury live az
long as Lorisch, who shot himself on
Friday night after shooting and kill
ing Mrs. Lucy Estes at her home on

That Lorisch is alive is remarkable
This is contended by physicians and
surgeons who recognize the extent of
the wounds of the mans head. The
bullett, according to DR.. o. F. Hume,
who operated on the wounded man
after he was taken to the hospital,
entered the head just in front of the
right ear. 1t tore out large trian-
gular piece and other of the skull.
These were forced edgewise into the
brain; the bullet passed entirely
through the cerebr1um, passing out
on the other side In passing through
it hit the left side of the skull and the
latter was shattered. The bullet, to-
gether with the shattered fragments
on the left side, were rmoved. These
leave the space from the left eye back
almost to tn left ear without cover
ing. AS the patient breathes, the vi
brations of the inner organs are very
discerniblc. This terrific shattering
is believed to have been the effect of
the bullet striking the left side of the
skull.
Due TO the force of the bullet, tire
skull was cracked entirely across the
head from temple to temple In re-
moving the fragments of bone more
than one-half an ounce of brain mat
ter was necessarily lost. The upper
cap of the skull remaining had been
forced, probably by the force OF the
fall to the floor, over that of the low
er, extending almost to the eyes. 1t
was necessary to pry this up and
away from the huge gap before the
operations could be begun. These

of the man. That he will succumb TO
the wounds there is not much doubt
