Preachers profess to have "a call TO

It! IN.

bone in some peoples heads than in
their backs and as long as we are an

cism or temporary condemnation by
speaking the truth for truths sake will

any difference with me-" ETC.. etc.
II there ever was a time in Brook
haven when men and women who know
the standards Of right living and Of NOR

that make for truth and righteousness,
should assert themselves it is right now

BUYING POWER.

The character of the merchandise
market depends largely upon the buy
Ing power of the public. The buying
power of the public depends largely if
not solely upon the income Of the pub
lie.
When the income of the public sinks
the buying power sinks.
But when the income of the public
ninety per cent of which Is composed
Of producers of goods-is nigh IL means
that the production costs Of goods are
high. When the income of the public
sinks 1t means that the producing
costs are commensurately low.
The public manufactures and buys
goods. That is the fundamental prin-
ciple of industry. We make goods
which are sold to others who make 9TH
er kinds Of goods, and then buy the
goods that the other fellow makes.
When goods are adjusted to l1wered
iRcome conditions will be satisfactory
all around. 1t is during the transition
period that hardships are worked.
When goods were going up in price
we were selling great quantities in for
eign markets and getting their money
for the goods. That is why the coun-
try was extraordinarily prosperous the
past four years.
Now that Europe is somewhat on It's
feet and less American products are be-
ing bought, nearly all we manufacture
must be sold in America, and prices are
coming down until they tip the scales
with the average income.

THE DULL JOE.

For the past two years people could
pick and choose the kind of work they
took up. Opportunities were open on
every hand. If they didn't like a GER
tain line of work, they could find some
thing else. Many people refused en-
ployment on the ground that the work
was not interesting"
The problem of efficient production,
is SO to organize and subdivide labor,
that the work Of the world can be done
with the least effort. To accomplish
that, a task has to be reduced to a GER
tain routine. in which one thing is done
over and over again. That produces
what some people call dull job.
But people with gifts Of originality
can make it interesting, by studying
how maximum production can be OBJ
tained. Thus they can increase their
ewn reward. and render high grade OF
service to the community.

more prosperous, pair of swans and

1uced, 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
rels were the extent and limit of the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one of these squir-
rels was perched on wide-spreading
limb overarching a gravel path that
slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with
nut.
There was bench beneath the tree.
If there had not been, the life of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff
ferent. If the squirrel had been on
any other tree, If he hadn't been
hungry, if any one of dozen other
things hadn't been as they were, Dan
Failing would have never gone back
to the land of his people. The little
bushy-tailed fellow on the tree limb

CHAPTER ~.

The dinner hour found Dan Failing
in the public library of Gitcheapolis,
asking the girl who sat behind the
desk if 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 a whole empire, rang
ing from gigantic sage plains to the
east TO dense forests along the Pa
cific ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linliville 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 Llnliville on the map.
The Glenwood post., 1920-12-25

sparkled with delight And he forgot
all about the doctors words and his
own prospects in his bitter regrets
that he had not brought n pocketful
OF nuts.
And then Dan did curious thing.
Even later, he didn't know why he did
1t, or what gave him the Idea that he
could decoy the squirrel up to him by
doing It. That was his only purpose
just to see how close the squirrel
would come TO him. He thought he
would like to look into the bright eyes
at close range. All he did was sud-
denly TO freeze into one posltlon-in

to him that he could remember other
winters, wherein the snow lay for end
less miles over an endless wilderness
and here and there were strange
many-toed tracks that could be fol-
lowed In the icy dawns. But of course
1t was just fancy. He wasn't In the
least misled about it. he knew that
he had never, in his lifetime, seen
the wilderness. OF course his grand
father had been a frontiersman Of the
first order. and all his ancestors be-
fore hlm-a rangy. hardy breed whose
wings would crumple In civilization
but he himself had always lived In
cities. Yet the falling SHOWS soft and
gentle but with kind of remorseless-
ness he could sense but could not un-
derstand, 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
large and perhaps the wasted flesh
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
phnnka y~f1fnn hn
absence Of red-that warm glow of
the blood eager and alive in his
veins. Perhaps an observer would
have noticed lean hands, with big
knuckled fingers, a rather firm 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 park bench, just
beneath the spreading limb of n great
tree. He would sit here, he thought,
until he finally decided what he would
do with his remaining six months.
de l Dteh dDle u kO 10 war.
The recruiting officer had been very
kind but most determined. The boys
had brought him great tales of France.
1t 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 If he had
q nut.
1t was the squirrel of Destiny. But
Dan didn't know 1t 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 devil" Dan said
In whisper. His eyes suddenly
The Glenwood post., 1920-12-25

rious that Dan succeeded so well the
first time he tried It. He had sense
enough to relax first, before he frOze.
Thus he didn't put such a severe
! strain on his muscles.
The squirrel, after ten seconds had
elapsed, stood on his launches to see
better. First he looked a long time
with his left eye. Then he turned his
head and looked very carefully with
distance and tried to get focus with
both. Then he came some half-dozen
steps nearer.
A moment before he had been GER
tain that a living creature-in fact
one of the most terrible and powerful
living creatures in the world-had
been sitting on the park bench. Now
his poor little brain was completely
added. He was entirely ready to be-
lieve that his eyes had deceived him.
Bushy-tall drew off little further,
fully convinced at last that his hopes
OF nut from a child's hand were
blasted. But he turned to look once
more. The figure still sat utterly in
ert. And all at once he forgot his de-
vouring hunger in the face of nm over
whelming curiosity.
He came somewhat nearer and
looked long time. Then he made
half-circle about the bench, turning
his head as he moved. He was more
puzzled than ever, but he was no
longer afraid. His curiosity had be-
come so intense that no room for fear
was left. And then he sprang upon
the park bench.
Dan moved then. The movement
consisted of sudden heightening Of
the light in his eyes. But the squir-
rel didn't see It, 1t takes muscular
response to be visible to the eyes of
the wild things
The squirrel crept slowly along the
bench, stopping to sniff, stopping to
stare with one eye and another, just
devoured from head to tail with Curl
osity. And then he leaped on Dams
knee.
He was quite convinced, by now,
that this warm perch on which he
stood was the most singular and in
teresting object of his young life. 1t
was true that he was family worried
by the smell that reached his nostrils
But all it really did was further to in
cite his curiosity. He followed the
leg up to the hip and then perched on
the elbow. And an instant more he
was poking a cold nose into Dams
neck.
But If the squirrel was excited by
all these developments, It's amazement
was nothing compared to Dams. 1t
had been the most astounding Incl
dent in the mans life. He sat still,
tingling with delight. And in a single
flash of inspiration he knew he had
come among his own people at last. He
knew where he would spend his last
six months of life.
His own grandfather had been a
hunter and trapper and frontiersman
in certain vast but little known Ore
gon forest. His son had moved to the
eastern cities, but in Dams garret
there used to be old mementoes and
curios from these savage days-a few
claws and teeth, and a fragment of an
old diary. The call had come to him
at last. Tenderfoot though he was,
Dan would go back to those forests,
to spend his last six months of life
among the wild creatures that made
them their home.
