RE For the Future "A recent editorial in "American Forests" criticized the removal of part of the restrictions on the jmpor. tation of- Canadian lumber on the ground that it would discourage the growth of timber within the United States. As ardent advocates of sound conservation policies, we cannot feel that a direct relation between these two things actually exists. Some of the American lumber companies have suffered from low prices for their pro- ducts. Naturally they do not care to gee foreign lumber admitted to com. pete with their own products. This, however, is a problem of the moment, Th& growing of trees for future har. a» is delicious > = Hh, 201 I's EVERY DAY LIVING vesting does not become an economic problem until the trees are ready for the market--which means a genera. tion or two hence. No one has yet ef- fectively proved that reforestation is not desirable and does not promise to be economically profitable when the trees ripen, "The facts are so simp.e that they speak for themselves; the United States 18 the largest single consumer of wood ahd lumber in the world. The lumber companies have rapldly de- pleted their private holdings of lum. ber. In many cases they have created low prices by excessive cutting. In the meantime the area of gocd timber has teadily decreased. Much of the iand in the natlonal forests is private. ly owned and can be cut at wi...

And yet, every now and then . we come across someone who wants to rake up the past in somebody else's: life. Human nature is indeed strange, 1 LF have a letter before me now from a young college girl, and it raises a problem which has all the marks of "the eternal triangle" about it.

Apparently there {8 a = young man from the same town as my cor- respondent who is a student at the same college.

The com. panionship between this other girl and the young man seems to rile. (I think that is the most appropriate word) my correspondent, She writes me asking me it I would advise her ta tell the young man what the other girl has confided to her and adds -- "I somehow feel it is my duly to tell Qim." 1 often wonder how many souls have been irreparably damaged by others who have excused their con. duct and appeased their - consciences 'by trying to persuade themselves and others that it was all done in the sa. cred nome of duty, Again and again I + SYNOPSIS In the West Indles, Maud Barron awakes with a premonition of disaster. Rushing into her father's study she finds him dead. Dr, Sidney Foster, a friend, is joined by Detective "One Eye" Uttock, a mulatto, Hughes, a member ot the household Is antagonistic toward all investigation. He accampanics aud back to England. Foster follows anu Maud informs hin "The Ghost" has ap- peared in England the same as at the time of her father's death, Maud employs Elsie Monteith as a companion, Elsie admits to Foster that she has fallen in love With him, Foster leaves for London and is murderously attacked on the way. On examination, the neck wound proves to be a bite from a poisonous snake. CHAPTER X1V. "HE WAS MY BROTHER" Following on Dr. Foster's cry of dismay at the dreadful discovery came a deep silence. The plash of the fountain in the middle of the palm court became like the thunder- ing of a mighty waterfall. Fully a minute passed during which the doe- tor stood rooted to the spot,. looking at, but scarcely seeing, the dead man, The situation was more than dramatic, It was cataclysmic. Bare- ly fifteen minutes had elapsed from the moment that Foster had seen this man walk through the doorway of the lounge with Maud Barron, and now he was seated, lifeless, in the alcove, his features twisted in an agony of convulsive death. Foster lifted the limp hand and gripped the wrist, It was a needless act, and he knew it, but he did it from habit. The pulse was absent. He touched the starine eves with the He--tot fre--starimg--eyes--with--t by Stuart Martin A waiter appeared at the door. "Did you ring, sir?" "I'etch the manager! This man is dead!" The waiter stared, then disappear- ed at the double. The manager came in a minute, the. waiter behind him. "What's this?" he asked, appar- ently suspecting some practical joke. "This man is dead, He was seat- ed here when I came in--" "Fetch the hotel doctor," 'cried the manager, and the waiter ran oft again. The manager rushed across the court and closed both doors, pushing the bolts into the concrete floor. He was a man of efficiency. "Wait until the doctor comes before you tell me anything," he said, It may have been a warning or merely a- precaution; his eyes did not look at Foster as he spoke. The hotel doctor came. He exam- ined the lifeless form, and looked at the manager curiously, "Send for "the police," he said. "Would you mind giving us your name, sir? We'll want your state ment shortly." At onge! IFoster handed him his card, and the hotel doctor's manner changed at once. Foster pointed to the cof- fee cups and the small bottle, "What would you make of it?' he asked. The hotel doctor withdrew, the cork, snifffed at the contents, "Wel ted his finger and gingerly touchec his tongue with the tiniest amount.

What might! have been a source of permanent wealth to the nation becomes a direct liability. Donald R. Cotton, writing last Na- vember, made the plea that the Fe- deral government, acquire the remain- ing tracts of uncutland--notably the fine stand of hardwood timber fn Gogebic and Ontanogan Counties in Michigan. He . advocated acquiring land of this sort instead of buying cut over lands, The obvious difficulty is the expense. But it is altogether prob. | able that more money spent in buy- ing good timber stands in the long run would be of greater benefit to the nation than the present sums that are spent. in acquiring used lands There is still much to be done in developing a sound forestry policy in this country. The "National Forest Service has made important strides. i The states have added to their forest lands. Private owners have been en. couraged to plant trees. Tq lay con. servationists it would seem advanta- geous--~to the present conservation movement if for a time, at least, America's lumber and pulp supplies might come in larger proportions from foreign countries. Only if the prices of these imports were to be so much lower than American prices that they would stimulate fresh cut-throat competition and mass cutting in Am- erican forest lands would the effect be bad.

It may be that if she will sit down quietly and consider this whole matter, she will discover that, perhaps unconsciously, the mo- tive prompting her to tell emanates from this direction. The trouble with us is that we so ire to gain some end of our own--and an essentially selfish end it so often happens to be. We need to carefully examine the inner motives which prompt us to do things before we act, We need to he sure that what we pro- pose to do is right, If it is not right, then jit cannot be our duty. And no- thing can_ever be right which inevi- tab'y- works harm for another per. son. 1-would like to put one or two ques. tions to my correspondent. Would she like to have her own past recalled in detail? How would she feel if some- one betrayed hereonfidences? Has she considered what the young man's reaction would be? If 'he is an honor. able young man--and she seems to think that he is--then his reaction would probably be to regard her with scorn for having betrayed a confid. ence. Look sguarely at this thing. One person regards another person as a friend. Because of the friendship a confidence is given, but the one to whom jt is given betrays it. What is she or he? A traitor! I am quite sure no young lady would like to he. Xnown ag such. J Take another point of view, Has the young lady with the past Incident in her life nothing worth while in her make-up to commend her? Surely she has.! Why, everybody has. There is good even _in the worst if we try to find it. Then, if there are good points in a person's character, why talk as though one indiscretion--probably ft was only a trifling matter after all-- tip of his little finger, testing for a sign of life. There was no response, no flicker of the lid, no shrinking from contact, The doctor knew that not a mom- ent was to be lost. He slammed the bell on the marble-topped table, and as he did so he noticed, for the first time with his usual clearness, that two half-empty coffee cups were on the ledge under the table-top. Be- side the coffee cups was a small bot: tle, the cork of which was stuck very awry in the neck. lite? Why not emphasise the good in. gslead of the bad? But then, folks who feel like my correspondent are likely to try and justify themselves and they usually come back with the question--"But mustn't I tell the truth?" Why, of course, we should all tell the truth, but we can at least wait until we ave asked for information and even then we can be discreet, and use common sense and, at the same time, be truth- ful. Long ago the Wise Man wrote in his Proverbs, "There is a time to speak, and there is a time to keep si- lence." I think this young lady should keep silent, You recall that poeny 'Worth While' by Ella Wheeler Wilcox: Ve "It is easy enough to be prudent, When nothing tempts you to stray, AWhen without or within no voice of sin pe [3 luring your soul away: But it's only a negative virtue Until it {s tried by fire, And the life that is "worth the honor on earth, Is the one that resists the desire." For the one indiscretion (hat we know of in a person's life, we do not know how often they have struggled against temptation and resisted it to overcoming. If we did, we would be more prone to admire than to con. demn. Let us try to keep that in our mind. and remember that the busi. ness of every man and woman is Lo discover the purpose behind his or her life, and by quiet, honest perser- verance, to try to achieve that pur. pose.

See how he is crumgiled up." A policeman came, and with him an inspector. They heard the story, Foster giving his version of how he saw the man as he entered the palm garden. "There ave two cups of coffee there," remarked the inspector pointedly. . "Ask the waiter why," replied Foster, The waiter could explain. The man had come into the palm garden with a lady. and had rung for the coffee. The waiter kfiew the man's face quite well, hes had seen him in the hotel since the previous day, he thought, or perhaps it was only since that morning. "Do you know his name?' the inspector of the manager, "If he has a key on him, we'll see how he registered--if he is a guest, sir, I think I remember him meet- ing a young lady in the entrance hall this afternoon, She was one of our guests------"" "Her name?" asked Foster's heart almost ceased to beat. The manager spread his hands wide in apologetic inability to an- swer offhand. They would find out, he said, "Lets try to establish his identity first," went on the inspector. To his constable he said: "Fetch a hand ambulance and we'll get him to the mortuary. I shall want the names and addres of all who were here or saw him; especially the person who made the discovery." Foster gave his name and nddress. The hotel doctor gave his aldo. "What do. you make of it?" ask- ed the inspector. "Looks like sui- cide, hey?"

Foster took off his coat and hat in the hall and walked quickly into the room, As he entered Maud rose cagerly, Hughes languidly, and Mrs. Gibbs with ap exclamation of welcome, Foster disregarded the various ways in which his presence was met; he had the feeling that he had burst in during a prviate dis- cussion, but he was not in the mood to stand on ceremony, (To Be Continued) It Pays To Advertise The following ditty was read re- cently by the Lord Mayor of Lon- don: The codfish lays ten thousand eggs, The homely hen lays but one; The codfish never cackles, To tell what she has done; And so we scorn the codfish, And the homely hen we prize; .
