CARE or FRENCH WAR ORPHAN
Aroonne Associations Plan May Be-
Used for Unfortunates In
United States.

A plan for the care and training Of
French war orphans, worked out by
the Argonne association, an organiza-
ton formed as permanent memorial
to the Americans who fought In
France, is said to be functioning so
satisfactorily that similar organiza-
tion may be formed for the care of
orphans In the United States.
che Argonne association was formed
In 1918 by group of Americans In
terested In French orphans. 1t has as
It's motto: ITO provide for the child
who has no parents, home and
family life; TO secure him his birth
right OF health; to educate him and
train him to earn livelihood; to de-
velop his character that he may be-
come useful and an upright citizen
and to do these things SO well and SO
economically that others shall follow
this examples the aim of the Ar
gonne association"
The orphans cared for under the as
sociation's plan are placed In private
homes In community where they are
really wanted. They are not "farmed
out" There is community school,
playground and vocational training
center where the children are daily
brought together to get their mental
and physical development. There are
three such centers in France where
the orphans are given three distinct
stages Of training.

road would have much use for me after
Tom Bowyer finds out what I've done
to him."
Wilton gave Chambers bed In his
shack. The next morning they started
out to sound the muskeg. A little
more than a mile north OF the portage,
where the river dwindled to mere
trickle between two lakes In summer,
was an unlnvlting bed of peat, covered
with rotten sIush; 1t was one of the
few spots where Wilton had not
sounded.
you'll get bottom here" said Cham
bers. He swept his arm upward. "You
see, I've figured 1t out like this: Those
ridges are limestone. But the founda-
TONS granite. You've noticed that, OF
course. The granite was there first.
The limestone was forced up later
through the clefts by subterranean ac-
tlon. 1t filled up the holes and hollows
and spread up above the granite till
these bluffs were formed. But the
granite hasn't shifted. Here's where
the granite bed extends across the
muskeg. The mud filled up the cleft
and spread across the foundation. But
the foundations there. Try her out !"
Wilton got bottom after two or three
attempts. AS Chambers had said,
here was the foundation for the perma-
nent way--not the best conceivable,
and one that would require consider
able ballasting, but undeniably the only
route possible.
The next day preparations were be-
gun for cutting the new road from the
camp. The weeks passed swiftly.
With mid-Aprll came the breaking up
of the Ice. The ground hardened, and
the first team OF horses struggled Into
camp, drawing its freight.
The end of April saw Kitty's house
completed and the furniture installed,
and the first day of May brought
Kitty.
She had telephoned Wilton to expect
her, and she came in rig, with cart
load of trunks and packages behind.
Within an hour she was ensconced
snugIy In the new cottage, with camp
cook detailed to look after her needs.
In her widows black she looked pref.
tier than ever, and absurdly young
even to be married.
Wilton had supper with her, and all
the while they sat together at the ia
bic his heart was almost too full for
speech. He was dreaming OF the future
with Molly, future in which Kitty
shared. He pictured her happily mar
ried--for Joe would have wished that,
and Wilton's loyalty to the dead man
had nothing mawkIsh or sentimental In
It.
Kitty tapped him on the arm, and be
looked up TO see her face In charm
ing smile, and mirth dancing In her
blue eyes.
",Nimt are you thinking of, wiu?"
she asked.

ton. II think you are the pluckiest |

CHAPTER VII


Wilton's first act ON reaching the
shack was to write a letter to In
spector Quain, informing him of the
presence of Hackett and Tonguay at
the camp, and telling him of their
liquor-vending activities. In the morn
ing he sent for Andersen, who ap.
peared disheveled, humble, and repent
ant
Il tank you send me back to the

Wilton struck his fist on his desk.

you back to the cache" he answered.
You'll hold your job, and you'll keep
the men under control and see that

At that hour he went out to inspect
the laborers, who were lined up out
side the c0ok-house. They were a
dirty, disheveled lot, still showing the
traces of the last nights dissipation.
Wilton looked at them grimly. "Well,
men, we've met one another already"
he said. "I'm your new boss. You've
