He would not pay for his passage
In the first place itmight arouse
suspicion of hirn-men of the class
he was supposed to be do not paw
for steamboat tickets when thew can
work their way-and in the second,
the hard work on the deck might
fill up the long days and give him
some shadow of happiness. He
would not take to the whisky bottle
again at once. That wild, half-n1ad
dream was ended.
Ten days thereafter he was well
enough to begin his first light tasks
aboard ship; and the captain signed
him up. This proceeding was not
without an element Of humor: the
southern gentleman signed the
name "Pete Limejuicer" with a
flourish. The captain grinned wlde

His wounds healed, his jaw and

appearance since the night of The

decent habits had mostly eradicated

bis eyes were clear, no longer blood
shot and thin; the flesh Of his face
was firm rather than swollen ana
soft; he was deep, good brown IN
stead of pasty white, and the net
work of red lines at his cheek bones
was no longer manifest. But this
was only the beginning. His burIy
form had stripped down, until he
weighed but one hundred and sixry
pounds, and now he had started to
gain slowly as his muscles hardened
to iron.
But these changes were all minor
ones compared to the complete trans
formation of his face. BilI's surgical
work had been a huge success as fer
as repairing his disfiguration, but in
SO doing he had completely Gov
ed the mans identity. He was as
changed as if he wore mask.
Before he had had rather fell,
extremely youthful face. Now it was
lean, the cheek bones showed, the
chin was prominent, the eyes looked
larger, more luminous and clear,
and much more sober. New lines.

irregular, no longer finely chiseled;
his mouth no longer looked small
and rather pursed but large and hui

the new set of his features and, per-
haps, the presence of few teiltale
scars. His hair had only been faint

aster: the last months Of distress

pletely changed in tone since the
fracture of his jaw; it was still ricn

the regular hours, the plain, abund-

did not, however, intend to follow

reason that he knew it would SOON

When he returned to Alaska no

job at one of the canneries where
he would be mostly out of touch
with civilization and the law.
The boat touched at Unalaska on
the return trip, but because the
ends of the earth foregathered here

for the wayfarers that came and
passed through this empty, far-off

to stay on board. But he would not

Editorial Review
SYSTEM OF REWARDS

The Embellishments of our sys-
tenn Of rewards for military merit
are illustrated in the case Of Serg-
cant Samuel Woodfill Of the Elev-
enth regular infantry. He is about
to be retired as a master serg-
cant, with pay of $133.S6 a month.
In order to permit him to realize
this slight advancement one of
three noncommissioned officers CT
that grade who have generously
offered to stand aside in his favor
will have to be denoted.
Yet Sergeant WOodfill was Sc
lected by Gen. Pershing as the
outstanding American hero of the
great war, and in that role was in
vited to be a body-bearer at the
funeral of the American unknown
soldier. He rose in France to be
lieutenant and then a captain.
After the rehabilitation he re-
verified to the grade of sergeant in
our regular establishment. Had
he been a Frencfman he would
probably have been a colonel by
this time, or even a general. Sol
dlers OF his type are W'lZed in an
army with strong democratic ira
dition, where merit carries any one
to the front.
Thousands of Allied officers have
been showered with hOnors and
promotions who had lesser claims
on such recognition than Sergeant
Woodfill. He, however, was de-
moted, and his acceptance of demo-
Won under the circumstances only
enhances his heroisln. 1t is i'm
mensely regrettable that army red
tape and lack of interest on the
part of congress have deprived the
most conspicuous American hero
of the great war OF adequate pro
motion and compelled his retire
ment as a modest master sergeant.

LETTER FROM PRISCILLA BRAD
FORD TO MRS. MARY ALDEN
PRESCOTT .

MY DEAR FRIEND:
I do not know just how to write
you this letter. The whole matter is
SO delicate however, that l am
afraid would not have the courage
to place it before you, by word of
mouth. fa q" -.
In the first place want to say
to you thatI have almost come to
your way of thinking about the
movies. This whole town is given
up to advertising that picture,
"Trumping His Heart." My friends
tell me the young woman who takes
the principal part was an advertis-
ing model who came from Albany
and very rich cloak and suit
maker sent her to Hollywood. They
seem to think she is not good
woman.
I cannot understand, dear Mrs.
Prescott, what this world is coming
to when we ALLOW such women to
act for the screen. Why, even felt
sorry for her.
And they tell me she is earning
two hundred thousand dollars year.
1t is enough to- make a virtuous
woman like myself think that God
has forsaken the world. Especially,
my dear Mrs. Prescott, as we do not
find this loose living only upon the
stage and the moving pictures In
fact, / said to my friends the other
night when we were dining at the
Waldorf, that one could hardly eat
in a public restaurant nowadays for
fear of being contaminated by, scar
let women.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The Market Town Fair was great
success.
The Pieman sold out over and over
again, and even Greedy Nan said vat
for once in her life she had had
enough to eat. The popcorn Man said
he had sold enough popcorn to trim
thousand Christmas trees, and as
for lemonade! Well, it's living
wonder that the Daddy Gander Land
people didn't float away altogether
and never come BAG
Nancy and Mic had ten rides on
the roller coaster, straight running -
no, | don't mean to say that the
roller coaster was straight running.
Roller coasters never are! But they
had ten rides in a row And then
they decided that they would try
the Ferris Wheel.
Daddy Gandcr bought a whole
strip of tickets.
1t was great fun to get into one
OF the little seats in the great wheel
and then begins to mount slowly
toward the sky. When you We're up
there it was like being on top Of a
mountain. You could look down at
the earth spreading out Ike map
under your feet. and it made you
feel ever and ever SO important.
Well, by and BY, lunch time came,
and then such Il hurrying for bas-
kcts and boxes and a scurrying to
find shady places TO spread table
cloths on the grass.
All at once there was rustling
among the trcc-tops and who should
come gliding down to earth but

smile.

clean it up before Mother Goose
sees it,"
And Misscz Dumping and Missez
BLUE said about the same thing.
Everybody in Daddy Gander Land,
or must say Mother Goose Land,
now that she was back, was thinking
OF how he or she had hurried away
and left the mornings work half
finished
But poor Daddy Gander! lie was
the most worried person of all. And
he whispered to the Twins that he
and Tom Tinker would have to man
age to turn the gate sign around be-
fore Mother Goose would see it. And
,hc was just about to step on his
magic dustpan and wish himself out
of that, when Mother Goose spied
him.
hello, daddy! There you arc!"
she cried heartily. "Im glad to
know you've taken affairs into your
own hands at last and that you call
this place after yourself. I'm getting
too old to go gallivanting through
the sky any more and you can take
my place. Hereafter stay at home
and take it easy and you can run
things to suit yourself"
you don't mean it, mother!" he
exclaimed.
Indeed / do! And l wish to say
you were all very sensible to not
waste any of this nice weather.
Steps and door-mats and walks can
wait. Fairs don't come every day,
and one can sweep any time"
"Hurrah for Mother Goose!" cried
everybody
"Hurrah for Daddy Gander!" cried
the Twins.
