BOOK ONE
Repatriation.
CHAPTER I.

Dan Failing stepped out OF the ele-
vator and was at once absorbed in
the crowd that ever surged UP and
down Broad street. He was just one
OF the ordinary drops of water, not
an interesting, elaborate, physical and
chemical combination to be studied
on the slide of a microscope. He
wore fairly passable clothes, neither
rich nor shabby. He was a tall man.
but gave no impression of strength
because of the exceeding spareness of
his frame. As long as he remained
in the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied. But soon he
turned off, through the park, and
straightway found himself alone.
The noise and hustle of the crowd

uous that the lenses are scarcely
more aware of them than of the beat
ing of ones own heart-suddenly and
utterly died almost at the very border
of the park. The noise from the

ness district has increased tenfold.
And the place where used to be the
pool and the playground of Dan Fail
ing Is now laid off In. as green and
pretty a city park as one could wish
to see.
Some day, when the city becomes
more prosperous, a 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. a few small birds and
possibly half a dozen pairs of squir-
rels were the extent and limit of the
wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens. one Of these SPUR
rels was perched on a wlde-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 a
nut.
There was a bench beneath the tree.
II 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 a 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
was the squirrel of Destinyl

He could even hear the leaves whisk-

man can discern this. he can hear the
cushions of a mountain lion on a trail

Prominent operators, including
Thomas T. Brewster, Edward G.

and William X. Kavanaugh, and high
officials of the United Mine Workers
union, including its president, John l..
Lewis, and secretary, William Green,
were among the defendants. The Ma
tional Coal association was among the
corporate defendants.
The charge is made by the indict-
ment that at various joint confer

to be partners in mining and distrib-
uting coal, and that they would aid one
another in plans to increase wages,
increase prices, create a shortage and

to miners should be added to the price
of coal; that competition among OBJ
orators should be eliminated; that no
coal should be sold below the cost
OF production. and that the means of
increasing cost and production in the
price of coal should be by closing and
keeping idle the mines.
The operators established a uniform
cost accounting system for the opera

by agreement employed a greater

son, Walter d. Postles, who died July
18th, 1920:
Today our hearts are sore and sad
For one we love SO well
But we trust some day we'll meet him
Where we'll never say farewell.
Oh Walter, dear, your voice is hushed
Your loving hands are still
And on your pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
AS the evening sun is setting
ft-times as we sit alone
In our hearts there comes a feeling
Wish Walter could come home.
Softly at night the stars are shining
Upon a silent and lonely grave
Where he's sleeping without dreaming
Is the one we loved but could not save.
It's been one long, long year
Since we bade our loved one good bye
But we trust and pray we'll meet him
In the sweet bye and bye.
Where there'H never ue no heartaches
And never be tears or signs.
This world may change from year to year
Our friends from day to day
But never from the one we love
will our memories fade away.

DEAR JIMMIE:-
They're goin ter hev a camp ter
train civilians in this summer an
frum all 1 hear 'em tellin' yer kin
bet she'll be a hummer. Durn funny
why a thing like thet wuZ never done
afore. You bet yer bottom dollar that
I'm goin' ter be thar, shore. The
camp whar I'm agoin' is the one they
call the RED, whar yer git the first
installment NV this nOwIege in yer
head. 1t amt called thet in honor Nv
no BOlshivili rag, but from the bright
red stripes yer see on our OF starry
flag. Bob sed he wisht he had a
chance ter git better trainin' afore
they took him over Whar the shot an
shell wuZ rainin.'
The last war 1 Wuz most too young
ter git inter a battle. Pap KEEP me
home upon the farm a milkin' Nv the
cattle, but brother Bob went over thar
an fit with all his might. I like ter
set around an hear him tellin' Nv the
there's many a pore feller what lost
his life through ignorance an not be-
cause he's yeller. 1 Figured out thet
l would git sech nowledge az 1 could,
an eff I'm ever in a pinch she'll do me
lots Nv good Not only maybe save
my life frum bullet or exposure. but
lives Nv others who hev never heerd
NV the disclosure Nv all the different
ways an means a soldier gains his
end eff he gifts inter a fix where on
him other lives depend.
A soldiers life in times Nv war is
not bed Nv roses, ez stories of the
latest one to every one discloses. So
ef bunch of fellers heV some nOWl-
edge Nv their job, they're right smart
more effective than a nervous, scary
mob.
HOss sense will tell most any one
thet eff he don't know now, he'd never
build hisself a watch er even milk a.
COW. An so I'm goin' ter learn an
ef the country needs my service, I'll
no jest what L hev ter do an then 1
won't git nervous.
Expect I'll hev pile o. fun frum
what 1 hear 'em say, fer sides the
work NV drillin' they'll be lots Nv
games ter play. Learn more Nv hui
man nature miXin' with my feIIer
creatures than I ever would at col
lege with it's dedicated teachers.
They'll teach me how ter live a life
what's healthy, clean an true, besides
lot Nv other thangs a soldier hez ter
dc. So eff the time should ever come
the country needs my backin,' I'll be
man whut nos his work when rifles
git ter crickin'. I'll no jest how ter
guard my health when sickness is
around. The other feIlers would too.
ef they'd not hung back an frowned
when they wuz offered sech a chance
ter pick up al this Iearnin'. I bet
they'll be durn sorry when the fever

Now, Jimmie, make yer mind up
