she must have known when the boat
stopped, must have heard the scrape
of the limbs and vines as 1t was poled
up into the pocket, for there followed
an interval of silence. He could not
resist the longing to steal once more
to the narrow crevice where the bar
of candle-light escaped. He brought
his eye close; peeped within.
She was standing near the middle
Of the floor. listening intently and APP
p%arently in deep thought. AS he
watched, he saw a sudden light leap
to her face and wake the wonder Of
her eyes. She crossed the floor anne
close to the door and. with the eau
ton of a woodcraft almost as fine as
his own, softly called:
Jack"
1t took the utter sum of the mans
resolution to keep still. He watched
the wonder of her eyes transform TO
disappointment ana despair; watched
her stand clasping and unclasping the
slim fingers OF her shapely small
hands.
One consideration alone restrained
him from beating to fragments the dis
abled paddock and setting her free
right in that stout cabin, with its
doors secured by iammed locks that
could not be opened without breaking,
securely hidden at the end of a cov-
cred trail was the safest place in the
FlatwOods for her just then. There
would be hard faces and quick fingers
in the red-roofed cottage that night.
But even so, it was the most diff
cult thing the big woodsman had ever
tried to do in his life to turn away
from that door and go back to The
skiff.
With set and serious face he rOwed
up the channel, around the head of
the island, across to the mainland and
carefully stepped ashore; dropped
both oars into the river; set the boat
adrift; stood a moment watching it
float away and, with extraordinary
pains to hide his trail, hurried back to
GraylOck.

states. The recommendations OF the Commission would be pre-

Assembly as to a recommending if not a lawmaking body.

Development of International Law.

The American Peace Award brought forth 22,loo plans
and many thousands of letters. Since many of the plans were
the composite work of organizations. universities, etc, a single
plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands OF
individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index
of the true feeling and judgment of hundreds of thousands OF
American citizens.

WHY GO TO CHURCH?
(Rev. John W. Kullerl

1T establishes you in your COM
munity as one who believes in the
very best and most noble things in
life.
PIT automatically makes you an
opponent of all that is evil and de-
basing in life.
3-Your community needs your
support in this manner to make it
the very best possible place for folks
to live in. Newcomers seeking a
home in a community ask first about
the churches and schools.
4-It will make you a better man
or woman No one is too good nor
is anyone too bad to go to church.
None of us are perfect. There is al
ways a chance to become better. No
man is so evil or degraded but the
Gospel of Christ a reach him and
make a new man out Of him. 1t viii
make him a respected and useful
citizen.
5-Are you a Christian? A
Christian is a follower Of the Christ.
Then follow your Leader to the
of worship. "And He entered
again into the synagogue" Mark 81.
6-Most important reason Of all
is to worship God. We draw aside
from all the perplexities and troubles
of life and enter into the house set
aside for worship and there render
alteration to our Maker, and seek his
blessings and help in meeting the
problems of life.

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult rae
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. 1t is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
of the 22,165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is "the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world"
1t Is the unanimous hope Of the Jury
that the first fruit of the mutual coun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption OF
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of all materials of war.

about inside the cabin, and a speck of
light showed behind a narrow crack
between the door and the jamb.
Very guardedly he crossed the deck
and brought his eye close to the crack

section of the room. A candle was
alight somewhere at the side, and a
shadow-one shadow-fiitted about
the floor. The shadow slid across the

She came to the door on the outside
of which he was crouched and tugged
at the latch, as she had probably done
many times since being left a pris-
oner, but the stout p%adlocked hasp
held firm. With an exclamation that
held just a shade of petulance, she
turned way.
He watched her till she passed out
of range of the crevice-doubtless to
sound the walls for some other means
Of escape.
But the narrow opening had told

Crawling along the gangway to the

rail to the bank and. with every pre-
caution known to woodcraft to hide
his trail, recrossed the island to the
skiff.
He showed the skiff into the water,
rOwed up around inc head of the
island, down the south channel and
back to the house-boat. Fastening the
skiff to the rail, he unhitched the 0 p

lightly to the forward deck, being
careful to keep out of range of the
crevice between the door and lamb;
picked up one of the TWO light poles
with which such craft are propelled;

vessel to catch the drift of the cur

deck and stood listening.
The girl inside the cabin had re-

the boat adrift. To all this the woods

These plans come from every group
in American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students of history and
international law. Some are from per-
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that, if war is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
a face-about on the part of the nations
In their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase of the NUM-
lions of war must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation if the
will to cooperate is to be made efec-
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the %disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
that there must be some means of
defining, recording, interpreting and
developing the law of nations.
Statement of Jury of AWord
The Jury of Award realizes that
there is no one approach to world
peace, and that it is necessary to rec
ognize not merely political but also
psychological and economic factors.
