more prosperous, pair Of swans and
a herd of deer are going TO be intro
duced, TO restore some of the natural
wild life of the park. But In the sum
mer of 1919. few small birds and
possibly half dozen pairs Of squir-
reis were the extent and limit Of the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one Of these squir-
rels was perched on wlde-spreadlng
limb overarchlng gravel path that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that

The dinner hour found Dan Failing
In the public library Of Gitcheapolis,
asking the girl who sat behind the
desk II he might look at maps Of Ore
gon. He remembered that his grand
father had lived In southern Oregon.
He looked along the bottom Of his map
and discovered whole empire, rang
ing from gigantic sage plains to the
east to dense forests along the Pa
citic ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one
Of the principal towns Of Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
of the time-yellowed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at town that bore this name. But
he couldn't find Linkville on the map.

less miles over an endless wilderness,
and here and there were strange,
nany-toed trucks that could be fol-
lowed In the Icy dawns. But OF course
II was just a fancy. He wasn't In the
least misled about II. He knew that
he had never, In his lifetime, seen
the wilderness. or course his grand
father had been frontiersman of the
first order, and all his ancestors be-
fore him-a rangy. hardy breed whose
wings would crumple In civilization

ness he could sense but could not un.
derstaai. had always stirred him.
He'd often imagined that he would
like to see the forests In winter.
In him you could see reflection of
the boy that played beside the pond
Of snow water, twenty years before.
His dark gray eyes were still rather
pNi htSh
around them made them seem larger
than they were. But 1t was little
hard to see them. as he wore large
glasses. His mother had been sure,
years before, that he needed glasses;
and she had easily found an oculist
that agreed with her.
Now that he was alone on the path.
the utter absence Of color In his
cheeks was startling. That meant the
absence Of red-that warm glow Of
the blood eager and alive In his
veins. Perhaps IN observer would
have noticed lean hands, with big
knuckled fingers, a rather arm mouth,
and closely cropped dark hair. He
was twenty-nine years Of age. but he
looked somewhat older. He know now
that he was never going to be any
older. A doctor as sure Of himself as
the one he had just consulted couldn't
possibly be mistaken.
He sat down on a park bench, Just
beneath the spreading limb Of q great
tree. He would sit here. he thought.
until he finally decided what he would
do with his remaining six montha
He hadn't been able to 60 to war.
The recruiting officer had been very
kind but most determined. The boys
had brought him great tales Of France.
It might be nice to go to France and
live In some country inn until he died.
But he didn't have very long to think
upon this vein. For at that instant
the squirrel came down to see II he had
a nut
It was the squirrel Of Destiny. But
Dan didn't know It then.
Bushy-tail was not particularly
afraid Of the human beings that
passed up and down the park, because
he had learned by experience that they
usually attempted NO harm to him.
But. nevertheless. he had his instincts.
He didn't entirely trust them. After
several generations, probably the
squirrels Of this park would climb all
over its visitors and sniff In their ears
and investigate the back Of their
necks. But this wasn't the way Of
Bushy-tail. He had come too recent
ly from the wild places. And he won
dered. most intensely. whether this
tall. forked creature had pocket full
Of nuts. He swung down on the
grass to see.
"why. you little devill" Dan said
In whisper. His eyes suddenly

all nbsut the Doctors words and his
own prospects In his bitter regrets
TINT he Ind not brought n pockctfui

And then Dnn did curious thing.

Would Enlarge
 Opportunity for
 Increasing Navy

Waschington, Mar. 1.-Urging na- val construction which would give the United States "the largest navy in the world," Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger, recommended to the house naval appropriation committee today that the next annual appropriation carry new program, authorizing the building of two ddeadnoughts, one battle cruiser, 10 scout cruisers, four destroyers, six submarines and other small craft. The admiral did not estimate the cost of this program nor say how long it would take to con- plete the vessels.
 Admiral Badgers views as to a large navy were concurred in by other members of the navy general board
 In building the new program many new features of construction learned from lessons of the world war, would bo included in the design of the va rious craft, Admiral Badger said.
 The new drcadnoughts as planned by the general board, he said, would be of 44,OOO tons displacements, each carrying 16-inch guns.

Three Fires Cause
 but Slight Loss

Fire Sunday morning destroyed q three-room house and barn belong ing to Will Jones negro, in the sec tion just out of the city limits, west of Bellwood cemetery. Sunday after noon slight damage was done to the roof of the house at 610 Missouri coupled by Annie Burford, negress. Saturday night at 9:15 burning flue in negro's house at Fifteenth and Missouri caused an alarm to be turned in. No damage was done.
 Two alarms were turned in yes terday morning. At the home of B c. Wallace, 901 West Fifteenth, a box of trash too close to the stove caused fire to break out. The paper from the walls in one of the rooms was burnt. Shortly after this call, call was turned in from next door, at 907 West Fifteenth, when servant house at the home of w. A. Kientz caught, on fire from too hot stove. Fifty dollars is the esti- mated damage at the latter fire.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub stitute for calonnel-are a mild but sure laxative. and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets gre the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calolnel.
