To Save Americas Forests of Redwood

This decision, says a statement Of
the association, means that the red.
wood forests will be maintained indefi.
nitely as an economic factor In the life
Of the nation and as one Of the won.
ders Of America.
The method Of preservation of tbe
forests, 1t is understood, includes cut.
ting Of timber In more scattered
stands, while every rrecaution is taken
against ground and high fires, and re-.
forestation will follow upon the stems
Of the lumbermen.
Ample areas Of the forests will be
preserved forever In the same state of
aged maturity as they have been ever
since the coming of the white man
and possibly for thousands Of years
before.
The redwoods (Sequoia rempervir-
ens) are first cousins Of the Big Trees
(SeQuoia Washingtonea). which are
safe from the lumbermen In Yosemite,
General Grant and Sequola National
parks. The redwoods are scarcely less
impressive than the Big Trees, which
are the oldest andbiggest living things
on earth.

Stormy Petrol" Sims on Americas Navy

.nUR navy was not prepared for war
~ in 1917. is no better prepared to-
day than II was then, and never will
be prepared under the present organi-
Eation plan, declares Admiral William
s. Sims, recently retired from the
navy.
The Navy department at Washing
ton bungled and mismanaged the fleet
during the war, and since the war
there has been no clear indication of a
disposition TO put the navy in fighting
trim, Admiral Sims asserted.
"The navy has not been properly
handled" Admiral Sims said, because
of mistakes made at Washington. You
know nothing of these except that
those in control at Washington wanted
you to know. A congressional investi-
cation was made after the war and all
the Republicans were certain the ma
jority report was correct and all
Democrats unhesitatingly accepted the
minority report.

Secret Passages Under the Capitol?

DOR a century there have been
= legends of the secret passages and
concealed apartments of the old Capt.
tol building. The other day a piece of
masonry at the capitol became dis
lodged and showed an opening. wholly
unsupported by the superintendent. A
small block of masonry dropped from
its place and disappeared. According
to all reasonable calculations the
stone should have fallen into known
passage below. 1t did not, but crashed
through the ceiling of a room on
lower floor. To do so II must have
fallen through shaft the existence
Of which had not been known. The
accident has started investigations
which are now In progress and which
are expected to reveal a few Of the
structural secrets of the building.
The capitol is vast structure, por-
tons of which have been constructed
ut different periods. 1t will be recalled
by every schoolbOy that the British
burned the old capitol In the War Of
1872. A new building was reared on

could know of the softening Of hiE
heart. The visits % the grave grew
necessary to his happiness. For the
first time in his life Hawkins felt as
desolate as he really was. He visited
the grave, as a man Of ordinary tenn
permanent would call upon a comrade.
When his strength permitted a trip
every other day, only. he sat in his
room looking out between the Mills At
the plain, and at the fascinating dot
alkali.
1t was ut these times that Hawkins
began to try to recall the possible
good qualities Of his dead enemy.
Hawkins remembered hs-w he had con-
demned the man out Of hand, when his
name was first brought up because
Thweke wrote cOpybook hand.
Hawkins remembered that he had
sneered at the man on account Of q
certain curl Of the mustache; and that
the fellow had incurred husbandly
hate. by knowing how to play the
piano. Remembering these prejudices,
Hawkins tried to make some entries
on the other side of the account.
As the Shadow fitted nearer and
nearer to the grim man, now confined
to his barren room moro closely than
before, he began to lose the horror he
once felt at what he fancied might be
the presence of the dead One day
he found himself curiousl7 listening to
some token from the dead man In the
grave. His mood was not one Of hor-
ror, but of longing. He reasoned that
his strange finding Of the grave, the
inexplicable power that drew him
against his will and against his ma
ture to the lonely spot, and the infiu-
ence which 1t had wrought upon his
life indicated the presence Of some out
side power. He built up theory of
hypnotism from disembodied spirits
and sat watching for signal to verify
through his material senses the exist
ence Of the supernatural force with
which his spirit seemed to have been
communing. In this frame of mind he
forgot the wasting Of the flesh. He
sat by his window, overlooking the des-
ert, and unused by the hour npon life
and the coming of the end. His whole
being was softened by the approaching
dissolution of his body.
He longed for some sign that would
tell him that he had fellowship-real
and palpable-with the spirit of the
man in the deserted grave. But the
sign did not come. He traced false
signs to their natural causes, and was
sad. The habit of a lifetime, as a
scoffer, strangled credulity, even

de fancied he could distinguish the
headboard from the fence. Then
ne began to fight with the spell. He
reasoned that 1t was an accident, and
II came over him with q chill, that he
had been drawn to the place by an
Irresistible force. At this conclusion
he smiled sardonically and lighted
cigar.
He believed he had conquered the
hallucination by giving it full rein.
Then he began to hate his old enemy.
Hawkins had not known that the man
was dead until that day. He mused
pleasurably upon the cactus. This
doctor, seeing Hawkins In the sunser
air with a cigar, swore at him, and
the grim man went indoors. He was
proud to be alive. His pride amount
ed almost to a thrill.
Hawkins went to sleep early that
night. When the lights In the hotel
were extinguished he wakened from
a dream about figures and business,
and felt that there was something i'm
portant on his mind. Then he remem-
bered the discovery on the headboard.
He trailed over his treasure with the
harrow Of his hate. He tried to think
OF something else; he began counting,
finally 1t came. A sentence formed in
his mind: WAS II the dead mans
spirit?"
When he aroused himself his mouth
was dry. and ne was wet with per-
splration. Hawkins normal mind then
took control Of his fancy and his hate
for the conquered foe burned fiercely.
The woman kept coming into his ma
lignant speculations. He wondered IL
she had taken the mans name. He
was curious to know IL she had come
with his enemy into the desert where
he died. Hawkins pictured them to-
gether on the terrace. Then his sick
fancy painted them In the very room
where he was lying. For a moment
he was In mental hell. A football
startled him. He sprang to the floor
to ring the bell and to ascertain IL his
imaginings had any foundation in fact.
When the boy came Hawkins asked
for Ice water, and upon getting 1t
slipped 1t, as he stood looking out at
the quiet stars and the moon, and lis
tening to the sheep-bells and to the
dogs barking out on the floor Of the
desert, beyond the grave. This soothed
him, and he slept.

for many days thereafter, Hawkins
stood gazing at the ugly sand heap in

heart at the dead mans desolation.
The moments he spent thus were al
most happy ones for the grim man. His
fancy made morbid pictures; and the
figures of the man and woman danced
before his eyes in thousand hOrrid
day-dreams. Once he kicked the head
board and sneered at himself for so
doing. Then Hawkins saw how like
cur he was.
After that there were three In his

One day. loathing himself, he began
to wonder what had ever induced the
woman to promise to love and honor
him. He recalled cowardly words he
had spoken to her. Revelations Of his
own cruelty and meanness were made
to him. and ghostly memories that he
had strangled years before came fit
ting back.
He was oppressed with a sense Of
having done q terrible wrong. The
face of the woman whom he had for
gotten, rose and floated on bis stag
nant fancies. Dialogues, that he had
crowded into what seemed to him OBJ
livion, came trooping back. and whis-
pered themselves into his ear. In
each Of these pictures and voices he
saw his own selfishness. Hawkins

A miracle was wrought on the day
that a shriveled tear trembled In his
eye. He went to the grave. and stood
a longer time than usual after that.
He left the place with a sigh and
walked slowly with his eyes upon the
ground. He walked slowly, partly

Hawkins sat In the silence, listening
and waiting for the greater silence.
There came time when he rallied
when he left the window for the veran-
da. Then II was that a great yearn-
ing came to his heart to 60 and lie
prone upon the grave and to be as
simple as child in grief. He could
not explain this yearuing; he did not
try to analyze 1t. He felt some way
that It was thing the woman would
have done, and the desire became q
master passion. 1t seemed cold to him
on the porch; but out on the desert
the sun shone gayly and seductively.
Day after day he walked the length
Of the veranda. He seemed to be
gaining strength. There was a day
when he walked the entire distance
around the hotel twice, without sit
ting or resting. It was a day of tri-
umph. That night he planned his
journey to the fence and the mound

His mental strain brought a slight
relapse in his malady. He did not no.

plans to himself. That afternoon he
slipped away. Slowly. slowly, he crept
