A consideration not given much
thought at the time of selecting trees
for planting is the matter of perma-
nency. says the American Tree asso-
citation of Washington, d. O. The as
ISOLATION welcomes you to the tree
planting army and asks you to report
your tree planting. Entire streets,
sometimes a whole town. are planted
with short-lived and inferior trees,
when a little additional forethought
and patience would have brought
about an equally desirable and more
lasting effect. 1t is, therefore. much
more desirable to plant comparatively
long-lIved trees, such as the oak and
sycamore.

CHAPTER XIV
Concerning Marriage.


And it was springume; these prison
ers of frost were beautifully sensitive.
They too, with the lake and the aspens
and the earth, the seeds and the beasts,
had suffered the season of interment.
In such fashion Nature makes possible
the fresh undertakings of last sum-
mer's reckless prodigals; she drives
them into her mock tomb and freezes
their hearts-it is little rest of death
so that they wake Nike turbulent bac-
chantes drunk with sleep and with for
getfulness. Love, spring says, is an
eternal fact welcome its new mani
festations. Remating bluebirds built
their nests near Joan's window; they
were not troubled by sad recollections
Of last years nests nor the young birds
that flew away. 1t was another life, a
resurrection. II they remembered at
all, they remembered only the impulses
Of pleasure; they had somewhere be-
fore learned how to love, how to build;
the past summers had given practice
to their singing little threats and to
their rapid wings. No ghosts forbade
saying, because he knew the ugly hu-
man aftermaths. hard sayings Of BE
ye perfect"
What counsel was theirs for Joan
and what had her human mentor taught
her? He had taught her In one form
or another the beauty Of passion and
its eternal sinlessness, for that was his
sincere belief BY music he had taught
her, by musical speech, by the preach
ing of heather sage and the wit Of
modern arguers. He had given her all
the moral schooling she had ever had
and its golden rule was, BE ye beauti-
ful and generous" Joan was both
beautiful and made for giving, free
hearted" as she might herself have
said, Fridays child as the old rhyme
has it-and to cry out to her with
love, saying. II want you, JOAN" was
Just, sooner or later, to see her turn
and bend her head and hold out her
arms.
Prosper had the reward Of patience;
his wild leopardess was tanned to his
hand and her sweetness made him
tender and very merciful.
Their gay little house stood open all
day while they explored the noun
tains and plunged into the lake, choos-
ing the hot hour Of noon. Joan made
herself mistress Of the house and did
her woman's work at last Of tidying
and identifying and decking corners
with gorgeous branches of blossoms
while Prosper worked at his desk. He
was happy; the reality Of Joan's pres
ence had laid his ghost just as the
reality of his had laid hers. His work
went on magically and added the glow
of successful creation to the glow of
satisfied desire. And his sin of deceit
troubled him very little, for he had
worked out that problem and had de-
cided that Pierre, dead or alive. was
unworthy of this mate.
But sometimes in her sleep Joan
would start and moan. feeling the
touch Of the white-hot iron on her
shoulder. Her hatred of Pierre's cru
city, her resolution to be done with
him forever. must have wildly re-
newsd itself In those dreams, for she
would cling to Prosper like a fright

Another Old Subscriber.


The American, Ellsworth, Me-:

American, which has been going on
recently, and while cannot or would
not be classed among the "OLD"
subscribers, l think perhaps my
name would head the list for length
OF time found on your subscription
books.
My father, the late E. Shepley
Haynes of West Trenton, used to tell
me OF taking the Ellsworth Herald,
which | understood was the prede-
cessor of The Ellsworth American,
and it is my belief that he took that
| paper way back in the Civil war
days, in the days when Ellsworth
saw more boisterous doings than the
| present generation is accumtomed to

When the Ellsworth American
was started, l am quite sure my
| father was an early, if not original,
subscriber, and he took the paper
continuously up to his death in 1908,
since which time the paper has been
sent to me almost without Interrupt
ton in my wonderings over the
| northeastern section of the U. S. A.
AS my name is the same as my
fathers there has been no change in
| the name as entered on your sub
| scription list.
T! l would be glad to hear from who
| ever may be able to dispute my
claims to honors for length of SER
vice with your publication.
Judging from the news items on al
most every page of the issues of sew
eral weeks past, you must be having
'some winter" l am glad to say
that, although we have had record
snowfalls here in New York city,
there has been no interruption to
traffic and no suffering in the tene-
ment districts as is frequently the
case, which is much better than in
the winter of 1918, when red troll

FICTION WRITERS TO BLAME
Girl With Experience Is DisiIlusioned
Concerning Qualities Of the
"Strone, Silent Man,"

"Deliver me-" said the girl with eX-
perience, from any more of these
strong, silent men. They make very
good fiction heroes but personally l
prefer man whose chief claim to
strength does not lie in his breaking
all records for silence. like man
who knows the value Of pause or a
moment in which no one says any
thing, but in which unutterable things
are felt. d
"a man who skaters time like
that, or doesn't even know when it
comes along, is, as we say, 'impossl-
ble' If there's anything worse than
a female chatterbOX, it's male chat
terbox, but that's no reason why man
can't answer Yes when you say, Isn't
it lovely dayT without thinking that
he is violating secret.
"Writers are to blame, I believe, for
building up the fictionally perfect, but
realistically terrible, type of man,
whose stock in trade is an enigmatical
smile. Consequently, every man who
is shy, bashful or stupid feels that he
has an excellent alibi. A girl who is
not versed in the ways of men, ouf
knows her story books backward and
forward, is led to believe that the man
who listens alike to her -. ding, her
small talk and her profoundest re-
marks with mere quirk to the left
side of his mouth, is ficticn hero
come to life. After season or two, de-
pending on her perspicacity, she knows,
dull man. OF course if he is dull, it's
much better that he should be dumb as
well. The only pity is that he appears,
at first, to be what he decidedly is
not"
