BOOK TWO
The Debt.
CHAPTER I.

September was at its last days on
the Umpqua divide-that far wilder
ness of endless, tree-clad ridges where
Dan Failing had gone for his last
days. Everywhere the forest people
were preparing for the winter that
would fall so quickly when these gold
en- September days were done. The
Under Plane of the forest-those
smaller peoples that live in the dust
and have beautiful, tropical forests in
the ferns-found themselves digging
holes and filling them with stores of
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing 1t, except
that culver at the end of their tails
told them to do so; but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change Of
all, in these days of summer, was a
distinct tone of sadness that sound
ed throughout the forest. Of course
the wilderness note is always some
what sad; but now, as the leaves fell
and the grasses died, it seemed par
ticularly pronounced All the forest
voices added to 1.-THE wall of the
geese, the sad futtering of fallen
leaves, and even the whisper of the
north wind. OF course all the tones
and voices Of the wilderness sound
clearest at night-for that is the time
that the forest really comes to life
and Dan Failing. sitting in front of
LennOx's house, watching the late
September moon rise over Bald noun
tain, could hear them very plainly.
It was true that in the two months
he had spent in the mountains he had
learned to be very receptive to the

Danish Trade Unions

The total number of workers or
ganized in unions in Denmark was
360,016 at the end of 1919. OF these,
277,392 were affiliated with the asso-
citation, as compared with 255,15O at
the end of 1918. OF the affiliated or
CARNATIONS the growth of membership
has been largest in the Danish Cen
eral Workers union, with an increase
Of 5,454; in the Textile Workers
union with 1854, in the Agricultural
Workers union with 1000, in the
Municipal Workers union with 1923,
the Smiths and Machinists' union
with 1921, and the Railwaymen's
union with 1902. Among the nom
affiliated organizations the telephone
workers record an increase from 5000
to $500 members, the mercantile
clerks from 1880 to 29,77O.- The
Bricklayers' union shows a decrease
in membership from 1924 to 6,124

voices of the wilderness. Lennox had
natural woodsman. He had magma
ton and insight and sympathy; but
most of all he had heritage of wood
lore from his frontiersmen ancestors.
Two months before he had been a
resident of cities. Now the wilder
ness had claimed him, body and soul.
These had been rare days. At first
he had to limit his expeditions to
few miles each day, and even then he
would come in at night staggering
from WEAKNESS. He climbed hills
that seemed to tear his diseased lungs
to shreds. LennOx wouldn't have been
afraid, in a crisis, to trust his marks
manship now. He had the natural
cold nerve of a marksman, and one
twilight he brought the body of lynx
tumbling through the branches of
pine at a distance of twO hundred
yards. He got so he could shatter a
grouse out of the air in the half Of
second or so in which its bronze wings
glinted in the shrubbery; and when
a man may do this a fair number of
times out of ten he is on the straight
road toward greatness.
Then there came day when Dan
caught his first steelhead in the North
Fork. There is no more beautiful
thing in the wilderness world than
steelhead trout in action. He simply
seems to dance on the surface Of the
water, leaping again and again, and
racing at an unheard-of speed down
the ripples. He weighs only from
three to fifteen pounds. But now and
again amateur fishermen without souls
have tried to pull him in with main
strength. and are still somewhat
dazed by the result. 1t might be done

Victory for TeIearaphers.

handed down a decision holding that

The labor board held 1t could not In

SYNOPSIS

Warned by his physician that he
has not more than six months to
live, Dan Failing sits despondently
on a park bench, wondering where
he should spend those six months.
Memories of his grandfather and a
deep love for all things of the
wild help him IN reaching a deci-
sion. In a large southern Oregon
city he meets people who had
known and loved his grandfather,
a famous frontiersman. He makes
his home with Silas Lennox, a typ
tcal westerner. The only other
members Of the household are
Lennox's son, BILL" and daugh-
ter, "Snowbird." Their abode is
in the Umpqua divide, and there
Failing plans to live out the short
span of life which he has been
told is his. From the first Failing's
health shows marked improve
ment and in the companionship of
Lennox and his son and daughter
he fits into the woods life as If he
had been born to 1t. By quick
thinking and a remarkable display
Of nerve" he saves Lennox's life
and his own when they are at
tackled by mad coyote Lennox
declares he is a reirfcarnation of
his grandfather, Dan Failing 1,
whose fame as a woodsman is a
household word. Dan learns that

steel STRENGTHENED BY oil.

Cincinnati is one Of six places in the
world where steel is strengthened by
being boiled in oil. At plant in Car
thage a steel shaft weighing 10000
pounds, the. largest piece ever subject
ed to the new method, has gone
through the process of being strength
ened. The great shaft was suspended
in an upright furnace until heated to
just below the melting point. A crane
then picked it up and dropped it into
the huge well of oil, where it boiled
and sputtered, throwing out clouds Of
oily mist.
