GEO, WASHINGTON
 ON LIST OF SLACKERS

Indianapolis, Feb. 6.-The father of his country probably would turn over in his grave if he could see the name of one George w. Washington on the latest draft evader list sent out by the government. To corral the more than 100000 slackers at large in the United States is a part Of the 1922 program of the Ameri- can Legion. but it does not promise to be an easy task.
 Another listed member of the Bergdol1 fraternity is Hoa Hum, who evidently was to tired or bored to join up. Charles Kaiser might have been excused for family reasons. but he didn't even show up before draft board. Another listed is Sam Browne, who displayed no desire to wear the belt.

WOODRUFF MARKETS.
 BIC DROP IN HAY!

There is one man in the town of Woodruff who un- doubtedly believes, that all
 that goes up must come down. Here is the story.
 Tuesday the 14th, Henry
 Thompson started from Smithson's barn at Wood ruff with twenty bales of hay on his wagon enroute to his ranch. He had made other trips without binding the hay on his wagon, so he did the same with this one. But this was one time in a hund- red and in going over a rocky point, some of the bales rol- led down onto his horses and they began to run. The bales MT. Thompson was us- ing as a seat joined the ava Ianche and he fell with them between the horses and was caught on the wagon tongue. With him in this position the horses careened madly for about 200 yards when they forked a large tree, break ing the neck-yoke, wagon tongue, harness. wagon and very nearly Henry's neck. His injuries when disentangl- ed from the wreck consisted of cuts on the left side of his face and a cut about six inches long. reaching clear to the bone, on his right arm. But he was lucky at that!

CHAPTER xI.

Morning found them half-buried IT. bright dazzle of snow, the midwin- ter miracle that sets the most jaded heart singing and the weariest blood to moving more quickly. Harriet was through with her housekeeping and her luncheon, and meditating a letter to Linda. when Ida Tabor fluttered fin, Harriet heard the gay voice at the foot of the stairs: "Oh, sweetheart! Where's my little girl?"
 Mrs. Tabor looked trihe dashed when only Harriet responded, although she immediately assured Miss Field cordially with bright insincerity that she had known of her return, and was ''so glad.'
 I've been sort of big sister here," she said. laughingly, "and, my Lord, these kids have managed things wOn- derfully, But suppose sooner or later the machinery would have stalled without your fine Italian hand!'
 MT. Carter asked me to come 'st' N. iidiiiCl Stdttu, silupi. sNhc thought the truth her best weapon, hut Mrs. Tabor was ready for her.
 Mary Putnam told us that you were just resting and looking about" she said, innOcently, "and Dick-gen- erous that he is-couldn't feel con- fortahle about it, I suppose!"
 Richard had telephoned Harriet at three o'clock that the morning pa pers would have "the news" and that he was coming home to tell his chill dren of their mothers death. tonight But she must get rid of this woman now, somehow. It would be fatal to have Ida Tarbor here when Richard Carter returned.
 ''I might run up now and see the old lady," said Mrs. Tabor, who had flung off her furs, and beautlfied herself at her handbag mirror. She pressed her lips together for the red coloring. Mfr. Carter be here tOnight?" she asked, casually.
 Bottomley caused an Interruption Harriet turned to him with relief. But unfortunately he answered the very question she was trying to evade. "Mr Carter had just telephoned 'm and says that 'e'll be ere at about six 'mr'

your invitation, Miss Field" said Mrs. Tabor, frankly.
 T am aware of that" Harriet said, simply.
 twill you he so kind as to tell Nina and Madame Carter,f the visitor was resuming her wraps, and arranging her handsome hat and yell, that will be here tomorrow, and that anything can do I will be so glad to do.-Is that Mrs. Warren's ear, Bottoinley? Thank you. Good afternoon. Miss Field"
 Good afternoon. Mrs. Tabor" Har- riet followed her to the hall door, and heard a Parthian shot, addressed in 6 cheerfully high voice to kindly old Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Fordyce's mother, who was in the limousine:
 Nobody home. All my trouble for nothing!"
 Old Mrs. Warren leaned against the frosted glass; waved from the holly dressed interior at Harriet, and the girl saw her lips frame Merry Christ Inas!" The door slammed; BOttomley came with statesg footsteps up to the hall again. Harr'et gave little laugh of triumph. Now the coast was clear {!
 Thus 1t was that Richard Carter found only his mother and his children at the dinner table that night, and no guests under his roof. Miss Field. to be sure, was at the head of the table, but then Miss Field was member of the family. He interrogated her briefly as they went in.
