The girl ran back TO her tent, and

truth. She said nothing, but when
the girl was asleep and family smil-
ing, the white woman sat staring
out into the moonllt woods, softly
beating her breast.
XVIII.
In the white woman Erskine soon
saw a change. Once she had en-.
couraged him to stay with the In.
dams: now she lost no opportunity
TO urge against It.
Her face had blanched, she argued
passionately that he must 20, and
Erskine was sorely puzzled, The
girl, too. had grown rebellious and
disobedient, for the change in her
mother was plain also to her, and
she could not understand. More
over, Erskine's stubbornness grew,
and he began to flame within at the
stalking i1solence OF Black Wolf,
who continued to seek the hand o.
Early Morn.
One day in the open village the
clash came. Black Wolf dartea
forth from his wigwam, his eyes
bloodshot with rage and drink, and
his hunhng.knife in his hand.
A cry from Early Morn warned
Ersklue and he wheeled. As Black
Wolf made a vicious slash at him
he sprang aside, and with his fist
caught the savage on tho Jaw. Black
Wolf fell heavily and Erskine was
upon him with his own knife at his
enemy's throat.

sternly, but It was the terrified
shrek OF the white woman that
stayed Erskine's hand. Two young
braves disarmed the fallen Indian.
and Kahtoo looked inquiringly at
his adopted son.
Turn him loose!" Erskine
seorned. 81 have no fear Of him.

The white woman had run down,
caught Early Morn. and was 1ead,
ing her back to her tent. From in.
side presently came low, passionate
pleading from tho woman and an
occasional sob from the girl.
An hour later at dusk, Erskine
turned upward toward the tent, the
girl gave a Mortified cry, flashed
from the tent, and darted for the
high cliff over the river.

sat Just inside the opening, with a

every word, and drew from him
every detail Of his life as far back
as he could remember.
Poor soul, It was the first oppor.
tunity for many years that she had
to talk with any white person who
had been In the Eastern world, and
freely and frankly he held nothing
back.
When IN turn he questioned her,
she told little, and his own native
delicacy made him understand. She,
too. had been captured with a son
who would have been about Frs.

Without word she turned back
into her tent.
At dusk Erskino stood py the riv.

properly object, unless one ac-
cepts the doctrine that even the
most indirect contact with the
League, in any of its operations.
involves contamination and peril.
The United States commits itself to
nothing, accepts no responsibilities.
merely takes advantage of an. ex-
listing organization that happens to
be working for certain reforms in
which Americans are deeply inter-
ested.
Membership in the League is one
question; cooperation with it along
lines held by all Americans to be
desirable is quite another thing.
There need be no controversy,
therefore, about such activities. .

cHURcH-GoING AUTOMOBILES

Instead Of being a foe to religion,
the automobile is a friend. Ia
stead of taking people away from
church, it takes people to church.
This is true in rural communities,
at least, according to delegates at
tending big church council. And
the thing sounds reasonable.
When the motor car first came
into general use, the church people
admit, it did lure people into TAX
ing pleasure trips on Sunday In
stead of attending service. But as
the novelty passes, those who cared
about church return. And with
them come others who would not
go to church at all except for the
automobile.
This handy vehicle is said to.
have enlarged the radius of the
average rural church parish from
two to four miles, and this means
that the: rural church now draws
worshippers from an area of more
than so square miles instead of
one-fourth that many. That
makes possible larger member
ship and stronger churches.

MORE FOOD IN EUROPE

In making up its budget for the
Community Fund for 1923. the
city of, Cleveland has decided it
need no longer include a large sum
for Foreign Relief. The commun-
ity Fund Council says the time has
come when such needs as arise can
be met from individual giving.
There is, however, a provision
made for a contingent fund, from
which may be met such emergen-
cies as. fire, flood. earthquake or
pestilence in any part OF the world.
This is one Of. the minor indica-
,tions that. IN spite of much talk
and fussirg, Europe is getting it
self together to SOME extent. There
are still cases where relief is need
ed. Russia needs help over this
winter. and there is acute need of
help in the Near East at the pres
ent time. But these needs will
pass, and the fact that Russia has
much larger crops Of food grains
this year than last will help a
great deal.
Time has way of settling these
fundamental problems And the
healing influence works in more
than one way. Hatreds grow dull
.er after the first suffering is allexi-
ated: then the attention turns more
and more to building up ones own
farm and graden. Attending to
ones affairs helps in itself to dull
hatreds. a beneficent chain is
created which makes for peace and
sanity.

SOVIET DEBT LOGIC

The Soviet Russian government
is very indignant at the suspension
Oh payments by China on the Boxer
dndennity
Ever since the Boxer riots. about
20 years ago. China has been pay
ing tribute to Russia. along with
various other powers, by way OF
actual or pretended reparation for
damage done. The United States
cancelled its claims long ago.
Russiass share has amounted to
s5,0oo. 900 a year. The Soviet gov
ernment. IN its poverty, priced that
Bit Of income highly. So did the
chinese government. And the
latter. evidently deciding that it has
paid more than enough already to
wipe out the obligation. has an
sonnced that it is done. Where
upon the Soviet statesmen protest
ana buster and threaten most
fearsomely:
tt is curious and entertaining
situation. inasmuch as the Chinese
SEEM to have not only essential
Justice. on their side but Soviet
precedent. too. The Soviet govern
ment itself has repudiated its for
efgn obligations, most of which
were for fun value received, and
SO more valid than the Chinese in
demnity. and they have done it on
the ground that the debts were
contracted by a former govern
ment for whose acts they were not
responsible. The Chinese can
plead that they. also. are. not re-
sppnstble for the acts of the Peking
government which assumed the
obiigations in the first place. They
can argue, too, that If the present
Russian government is not obliged
to pay the debts Of its predecessor,
neither is the present Russian goV-
sernment entitled to money due its
predecessor.

a clinching argument. Somehow,
we can, help wishing that we had

LEARNING TO. STUDY

Northwestern University has a
new system for the benefit Of slow
students. It involves a thorough
inquiry into a students. previous
school life, health and home con-
ditions. and the help of a private
tutor in cases which seem worth it.
The system may prove useful in
keeping students in. college who
under a severer regime would be
summarily dismissed after few
months. This may be wise, for
many a slew student has proved
more worth while to society event
ually than his more brilliant fell
lows. But it points to the fact that
many students have never learned
how to study before they reached
college and. so have missed the
main purpose of public school ed
ucation.
This is not a matter OF, home
work entirely. Students who have
to prepare all their lessons IN
school often know better how to
study than those who are required
= = - q -
to perform long tasks outside. It
is matter Of learning to get to
work promptly, to concentrate on
the job in. hand. to stick to it un-
til it is finished.
Parents can help greatly by set
ting small home tasks and requir-
ing their accomplishment with
dispatch. undivided attention and
accuracy. If home work is reauir-
ed blythe school. the child should
have a, proper place, good light and
regular. uninterrupted time in
which to do It.
The child who has not the
chance to go- to college needs train
ing in how to study quite as much
as the one who has the greater

and in time destroy the race. Thus
they are as q menace to a coun-
try as a powerful enemy"
The argument is not new one,
nor is there general inclination to
deny. the correctness of Professor
Lundborg's assumptions The
chances are that the, Swedish sa-
want is altogether correct in his
conclusions. The fact of the mat
ter is that most people do not care
as much about the future Of the
race as theysdo about present COM
fort for themselves and the assur-
ance -of comfort for their children.
Rarely. indeed, does their interest
reach beyond their children's chill
dren.
