problem that remained was that Of

He was stirring little now. Evi-

CHAPTER ~

SnOwbird felt very glad Of her init
mate. accurate knowledge of the
whole region Of the Divide. In her In.
fancy the winding trails had been her
playground. and long ago she had &C.
quired the mOuntaineer's sixth sense
for traversing them at night. She had
need Of that knowledge now. She
slipped into her free. swinging stride;
and the last beams from the windows
of the house were soon lost In the
pines behind her. II was one Of those
silent. breathless nights with which
no mountaineer Is entirely unacqualnt-
ed. and for long time the only sound
she could hear was her own soft
tramp In the pine needles. The trees
themselves were motionless. That
peculiar sound, not greatly different
from that of running water which the
wind often makes In the pine tops,
was entirely lacking. Not that she
could be deceived by it-as stories
tell that certain tenderfeet. dying Of
thirst In the barren hills. have been.
But she always liked the sound: and
she missed II especially tonight.
She felt that If she would stop to-
listen. there would be many faint
sounds In the thickets-those little
hushed noises that the wild things
make to remind night-wanderers of
their presence. But she did not In
the least care to hear these sounds.
They do not tend toward peace of
mind on long walk over the ridges.
The wilderness began at once.
Whatever influence toward civiliza-
ton her fathers house had brought to
the wilds chopped Off as beneath a
blade In the first fringe Of pines. This
Is altogether characteristic of the Ore
gon forests. They are much too big
and too old to be tanned In any large
degree by the presence of one house.
No one knew this fact better than
Lennox himself who, In a hard win.
ter Of four years before, had looked
out Of his window to find the wolf
pack ranged In hungry circle about
his house. Within two hundred yards
after she had passed through her IA.
Tiers door. she was perfectly aware
that the Wild was stirring and throb-
bling with life about her. At first she
tried very hard to think Of other
things. But the attempt wasn't en-
tirely success. And before she had
covered the first of the twelve miles,
the sounds that from the first had
been knocking at the door of her con-
seriousness began to make an entrance.
Ii person lies still long enough, he
can usually hear his heart beating
and the flow of his blood In his
arteries. Any sound. no matter how
faint, will make Itself heard at last.
II was this way with very peculiar
noise that crept up through the silence
from the trail behind her. She
wouldn't give II any heed ut first. But
In a very little while indeed, II grew
so insistent that she could no longer
disregard 1t.

1t is argued for the Russian scheme
Of moneyless economy that those who
are now conducting the affairs OF the
country are sincere enemies OF wealth
and are therefore competent to de-
termine Justly the values of all com-
modities, human and material. But
there Is no assurance that they will
remain haters of wealth or that their
successors as changes are effected viii
be sincere proletarians. Obviously the
system proposed will entail a vast
amount Of administrative detail. For
the government must supervise all pro-
duction. all labor and all consumption.
1t must know precisely what the peo-
pie eat, and wear. all their entertain
ments and luxuries-if they have any
all their occupations and the use to
which they put every minute of their
time. Unless the system is perfect IN
it's supervision the moneyless plan
breaks down at some point quickly.
And this means an army OF measurers
and appraisers. bookkeepers and ad-
justers.- II every individual Of this
great force is absolutely on the square

The Conscientious Directors.

+ While there will be bit Of a qualm
of distaste for the announcement that
all the remaining conscientious OBJ
jectors" in custody have been re-
leased by order Of the Secretary of
War. this action is probably wisely
conceived. AL Of these men have un-
dergone the punishment Of imprison-
ment for considerable periods. Those
who were really conscientious in their
objections to military duty have suf-
fered severely for their scruples.
Those who have simply 'camoufiaged'
under the cloak Of conscience have
suffered also. for their cowardice or
their disloyalty. All Of them are now
fully identified before the country and
must take their chances for rehabili-
tation in public esteem. Their con-
tinued imprisonment would do no par
ticular good. Sometime, sooner or
later, these men must rejoin the social
ranks. and it might just as well be
now ais later. That is the reasoning
on which the releases are ordered.
And yet, as suggested. probably most
people will wish that they could have
been punished more severely. The
fact that some of them belong to or
ganizations that are hostile to the
present system Of government intensi-
fies this feeling. 1t must be remem-
befed,' though. that these men now re-
leased were not really fugitives from
the draft but were those who on be-
Ing. enrolled refused to perform ntl.
itary duty. There is very great diff
ference between the conscientious OBJ
jector who responded but drew the
line at actual fighting, and such men
as Bergdoll, for whom there can be
no tolerance Or forgiveness. The path

leased by order Of the Secretary of

Thanksgiving.

There is abundant reason for the
American people to give thanks, on
this day set apart by proclamation and
custom. They have wtthstood the
stress of war and the readjustment
following. In their economic situation
they are prosperous. The change in
scale that must inevitably follow the
high imitation incident to war is be-
ing effected without the disruption of
industry, and with O. minimum ef un-
employment There is good prospect
that this will continue and that the
country will soon settle into normal
conditions without much suffering. The
public health is unusually good. The
pestilence Of two years ago has not
returned and the country now is free
Of menace on this score. Abundant
crops have been produced and In every
