Introduces himself to John Dally, fore

or most of It." Ho mnkes acquaintance
with tho camp and tho work. Ho elves
Slletz parmlsslon to rldo Black Dolt, his
saddle horao. In an emergency ho proves
to tha foreman that ho uoeii not lack
Judgment. Slletz tells him of tho Preach
er. Ha discovers that Slletz bears tho
sign of the Qllotz trlbo of Indians and
wonders what her surnama Is, In the
flush of ii tender momont ho calls hor
"the Nljrht Wind In tho Pines," and kisses
nor. Poppy Ordway, ii magazine writer
from New York, enmes to Daily's to got
material for a romance of tho lumber
region. Hampden of tho Yollow Pines
Co. wants Handry to keep off a tract of
stumpaao ho claims title to and Sandry
thinks ho has bought as tho East Delt.
Ilampden sots up a cabin on tho Knst
Celt and warns trespassers off. Sandry
can nnd no wrltton ovldenco of title to
tho tract. His men pull down the cabin.
Handry compares Slletz nnd Poppy. Ban
dry s and Hampden's men fight over tho
dlsputod tract. The Preacher stops tho
tight. Bftndry finds that the deed to tho
i .'. Belt has never been recorded. He
decides to get out ills contract nrst and
nght for tho stumpago aftorward. Poppy
scents trickery and flirts with Hampden
to Kain his confidence. Bho tolls Sandry
that Hnmpdon is crooked and that she'll
get him. Poppy goes to flalom In search
of evidence against Hampden. Handry and
Hllotz ride to the soashorc und Slletz sees
the ocean for tho first time. Sandry's
men desert him for Hampdon, who has
olTored more rnonoy. Slletz goes to hor
irlonds tho Slwashes and persuades them
to work for Handry to save his contract.
Poppy tolls Sandry that she has proof of
Hampden's filing bogus entries In collu
sion with tho commissioner.

Sho fell silent a moment, standing
beside him,
"Tho wirids of God aro heavy on my
soui, sandry," sho said at last, ear
nestly, "and they toll mo that you
are sad. What can I do oh, what can
I do to holp?"
Thoro was in hor voice tho simple
cry of a sympathy so Intcnso that It
was anguish, and Sandry's lips tight
ened In tho darkness.
For a hoady momont ho could senrco
resist tho bidding of tuo lawless thrill
that sho was over capable of sending
through him, to tako her lno his arms
as ho had dono that day when she
behold tho sea. But n tardy thought
or miss Ordway shut his hands upon
thomselvoo and steadied his volco.
Ho put his hands upon hor shout-
dors and turned her round.
"Go back to Ma Dally, child," ho
said, but his volco had fallen to u
whlBpor, a whisper that wob a carosB,
laden as heavily with wistful sadness
as a whisper might be, "and don't fret
I am nil right."
Without n word, obedient to him as
tho primal woman over is to man,
Sllotz wont away In tho night toward
tho oook-shuck. "
As sho passed up tho path sho al
most brushod tho garments of Poppy
Ordway, 'standing in rigid silenco, her
hands shut In tho folds of hor gown,
her roso lips nshon, hor oyos strained
wide.
"Fool! Fool I Fool!" tho woman
was thinking In a rngo of passion.
"Why didn't I suspect? Sho Is some
thing to him sho haB hor charm.
'mere 13 dangor In hor to mo ohs
onnury, you stupiu, simple heart!"
For Poppy Ordway had heard tho ca
ress of that lowered volco. Tho now
passion In hpr took fright, and a furi
ous, choking rago sent tho blood hot
upon hur heart.
Tho next morning ho found unon hla
window-ledge a handful of forn and a
spray of tiny, yollow, waxllko flowers
that woro beginning to show whoro
tho llttlo streams toro down tho moun
tains, lining their rocky bodB. Ho
took thom in and put thorn away In a
drawer among hla papers, silent volco
of a sympathy that was as dollcato. as
it was strong.
That morning whon Poppy Ordwny
encountered Sllotz the bright smile
sho gavo hor covorod a sudden hatred
that had sprung, full grown, from a
man'B low whlspor; and tho bad tlmos
that followed for tho girl had their

and eight Indians, all armed and wait
ing for anything that might develop.
But Hampdon had no notion of meet
ing John Dally in his proscnt mood
and it seemed as if all was to go
smoothly. As tho raft drew majos
tically abreast of tho mill at Toledo
tho Yollow PI1103 owner was conspicu
ous on tho dock, though ho did not ap
pear to seo anything beyond tho pllo
of raw, brighf lumber ho was marking.
His florid foco woro a sardonic grin.
"John," said Sandry, "it's a wondor
Hampden didn't do somothlng surer to
hlndor us Jam the bay with logs or
tlo us up somo way."
"Might, only I'vo had John Tooter
polo an' Klamath Sam walkln' th'
Bhorcs for flvo dayB an' thoy'ro tho
two worst 81washes on th' reservation.
Hampdon knows thoy'ro workln' fer
S'letz, an' that when I said shoot or
cut thoy'd Bhoot or cut cf it took four
years an a dark night to do it."
That first day drifted by very swift
ly, soft and sunny between showers,
and by four o'clock tho obb of tho tide,
grown slower and slower, had ccaBod
altogether. Daily and tho rest tlod up
tho raft, head and tall on both sides,
UBlng heavy steel ropes and chains, to
which thoy gavo plonty of slack. They
cooked suppor ashoro and Sandry
thought ho had nover tastod bettor
fare. Afterward they lay about tho
flro all togothor, smoking, nnd only
tho silenco of tho Slletz marked tho
lino of color. Triumph filled tho heart
of tho young financier and his last
drowsy thoughts woro of tho steamer
that wa3 oven now plowing down from
Portland to moot tham, tho hugo check
that would follow his delivery of tho
logs how ho would lift a certain
mortgugo of tho load that hung upon
tho Dllllngworth, its greatest menace
in point ot time.
Ho waked to see tho heavy chains
drawn taut, to hear tho mass of tim
bers creaking and grumbling as it
strained upstream, and know that tho
tldo was In. Tho Slwaah cook waked
tho mon by moonlight for breakfast.
Thoy must bo ready to tako advantage
of tho first motion toward tho sea.
Tho casting looao, tho slow start,
tho moving of tho nlgh shores San
dry wished Miss Ordway might seo
It it might bo a bit of local color In
tho mysterious book sho was writing
In tho ltttln south room. His mind
went over that llttlo room. Ho saw
tho stand with tho ancient Blblo. He
shuddered a bit with tho night chill
n3 ho saw again tho words, "Oh, Ab
salom! My son, my son!"
Thoso wero tho Inst words that tho
mind of tho Easterner woro to know
for many days. Tho nose of tho raft
whoro ho was standing suddenly roso
under him ltko n thing ot ltfo. Tho
night oponed, flame shot upward from
tho dark waters, imtnoasurablo sound
smoto his eai drums to silence, pain
that was unendurable Btrotched and
toro his limbs. Ho sailed away Into
night and tho world waa not.
Whon tho thing was ovor John Dally
picked hlmsolf up from whoro ho had
been blown clear of tho raft and tho
wator, landing In a tanglo of blueberry
vines, and screamed a curse nt tho
scrono heavens.
"Oh, God dntnn his soul to holl!" ho
cried, half after tho mannor ot a
prayer; "ho'a blowod her up at last!"
In tho awful silenco that fell In tliu
first momenta thoro 8ct up a great
groaning of tho llmbors. Tho wrecked
and oponed prow of tho raft slewed
to tho right, jammed Into tho shore,
and waB holding tho rest, while tho
years ho belongs to tho first line, al
though ho need not report for service.
From thirty-two to forty-two ho bo

this line aro Inspected annually and

f strong tido urged It hard upon itsolf.
Abovo it Daily lifted his volco and
called his Indians, and thcro was an
guish In his heart.
"Koottah! Snamlshta! Mcmmlloo!"
From horo nnd there voices an
swered, somo far, somo near, and pres
ently flgures crept fearfully into tho
moonlight from tho mnttcd ferns, gath
ering about tho foreman.
Hero ono dragged an Injured, nnklo,
anothor stanched tho blood from a
ragged scalp with his hands, and thcro
ono wavered drunkonly from tho fall
ho had got, but all eight accounted for
thomsclvcs.
"Boys," Bald Daily tensoly, "all who
can swim got into tho wator quick!
Sandry was standln' alono at hor noso.
It's a hundred to ono bo's dono for!"
No ono asked a question, tho Indians
accepting with thoir pathetic fatalism
this disaster which would havo set tho
tongues of whlto mon flying.
Silently tho flvo who woro unharmed
except for bruises slippod into tho
heavily running tidewater and disap
peared amid tho flotsam and jetsam ot
tho long bay which traveled always
aimlessly back and forth.
Tho groaning of tho raft grow In vol
ume for a few minutes, thon subsided
as it locked and settled. Daily on the
shoro began threshing tho ferns, filling
tho night with his stentorian Volco as
ho called upon Sandry's namo. From
timo to timo ho listened. Then ho
lighted a torch and wldoned his circle,
pooring into overy covert of fern, be
hind every log, and even searching tho
branches ot the troeB. Ho had scon
tho pines bear ghastly fruit a timo or
two whon a blast of giant powder had
gone wrong.
After a long timo ho Btraightcnod
and his muddy faco was blanched.
"Dono for!" ho said aloud to tho
dusk ot tho forest, bitterly. "Down an'
dono for an' him so damned good for
an Easterner!"
But oven as ho spoko a cry sounded
from tho wator far ahead another an
swered, another and anothor, as the
Slletz drew In to each othor somo
whoro out In tho dim moonwash, and
ho knew they had found him.
So thoy had a limp body lying bent
back across a floating log, tho pearl
buttons on its breast shining and its
hair dabbling in tho wator. They
pushed tho log with its burden in to
shoro and big John Daily, wading out,
picked up his employer as a mother
lifts a child, carried him back up tho
bank and bent to Hston for lifo in the
still breast. It was there. Tho-timber-man
ran a great hand, experienced and
gontlo, over the sprawling arms.
"Busted!" ho said bitterly, "legs too!
He's crumpled like a broken tule! If
I don't tako this out of Hampden, I
hope I'll burn in hell!"
Ho gathered the scattered blankets
from bush and treo branch and laid
tho Easterner upon them. Then this
simple son of tho big country wont off
by himself into tho shadows to think.
What should ho do?
Hero was his employer, thio East
erner who was going through tho or
deal by flro to win his right to live
and fight in tho wild laud, and ho was
all but worsted, down and out. His
llfo was not worth a copper that coin
of which tho largo West takes no no
tice and far on tho shores of the
other ocean was that old father ot
whom he had told Dally in tho quiet
talks at night. It would tako quick
work to get Sandry to a doctor and
word should bo sent East at once.
On tho other hand, if Sandry should
live and tho cdntract had been lost his
flght would bo over. Thoso mort
gages of which ho had spoken vaguely
would bo foreclosed nnd the Dllllng
worth would bocomo a thing of tho
past, tho East Belt go by tho board and
Hampden would bo supremo In, the
hills.
"No, by heaven, he'd want, her to go
through dead or allvo, an' I'll seo her
thcro!" wna Daily's ultimatum as ho
roso from tho log in tho pink flaro of
sunrlso, and could ho have known all
that Sandry would loso with that con
tract and tho Dllllngworth his hatred
of Hampden would havo been deopor
still, for Sandry was his friend.
He went back to tho huddled Indians
and the silent figure on its blankets.
"Mommlloo," ho said decisively,
"mako quick a polo sling. You an'
big Bill an' Multoawah on' Jim Pino
treo will tako Sandry back to camp.
Go first to Toledo an' get Doc Hooker
havo him do what ho can thoro an'
go along to camp. Tell him to stay
with Sandry day an' night till I got
back. Hurry now."
Without a word, tho four Indians
plckod out by namo set about their
appointed task. In less timo than a
whlto man would tako to begin thoy
had laid clean saplings along blankets'
edges, warped a short spreador at top
and bottom to hold tho polos tho width
of a man's shoulders apart, nnd tho
sling wob ready.
"Now," said Dally grimly, "travol
liko holl, boys, but carry him 30ft, for
ho's broke liko tho fcniB whon a plno
falls."
Tenderly thoy lifted tho owner of
tho Dllllngworth and laid him In tho
hollow of tho blankots.
His foroman cast ono look nt him as
tho Indians swung nwny on the back
trail and turned his fnco to tho
oxponslvo and its supply Is limited.
Tho uso ot this oil Is in lighting the
hookworm dlseaso hi tho South. Con

New Method of Healing Wounds.
A surgeon who has boon nt work

ont war reports that ubIios, proforahly
obtained by burning wool or cotton
cloth, nro excollont for healing
wounds. When bound ovor tho Injury

I u supposed to carry tho ashes rellovo

' treatment Is said to be particularly
, offoctivo In wounds Inlllcted by sabers
j and bnyonets
Jammed rat: He studied tho problem
from all sides. Thon lioUook his re
maining Indians, for none of thom
woro boyond work from their shaking
up, got off tho mooring chains and
snubbed the monster' to tho shore
pines foro and aft. Then ho calmly
proparcd to wait tho turn of the tldo.
Sho would looso herself.
Tho damago at tho prow was slight.
Tho lift had coino a moment too Boon
to hurt tho big raft much. Several of
tho binding chains at tho cxtromo
head of her had boon broken, lopson
lng tho onds of tho logs which slid
downward and apart, giving hor tho
appearance of a ragged broom.
Snamlshta, liko all tho coast Indi
ans, wns a good waterman. Ho of
fered to dlvo for tho broken chains
nnd Dally lot him go. In three hours
he had found all tho ends, fastened
to them hauling lines, which tho others
used to bring them up, tho breakngo
was repaired, and Dally was ready to
mend tho broken noso as woll as ho
could. Ho needed to clrclo tho loos
onod logs with tho chains again, and
ho wont about it in a slmplo manner.
Thoro was no getting undor the raft
from tho front becauso of tho jam
against tho shore, ovon if Snamlshta
could havo managed tho tldo and en
dured tho time under water. There
fore it must bo dono from tho other
end.
So Dally laid tha chains across tho
spreading noso, attached a long tow
lino to tho shoro ends and dropped
them into tho water. Tho lino was
then led to tho stern, under tho moor
ing chains, around and forward to tho
prow.
Ho thon lay down for a noeded rest
until tho sucking green water grow
slower und slower and finally stopped
altogether.
With tho first insidious movomont of
tho flood tido the groaning and creak
ing set up again throughout tho giant,
and tho foroman was on his feet nt
onco as sho began, almost impercep
tibly, to back out from the shore. Tho
onds ot tho chains wero hauled up,
slipped forward and fastened securely
after tho logs had been coaxed to
gether as much as was posslblo with
ropo and peavoy and cant hook.
"By jingo!" said Daily, "but that
was a blast. Tho son-of-a-gun must
havo had a wagon-loan o' sticks. An'
It was a 'plant,' all right. Must'vo had
somo batt'rica an' a trigger wire. But
ho hain't smart enough to flgger out
such things. Twa'n't th' right slant,
or sho'd a hit U3 amidships an' oponed
us up proper an' we'd a-gono to sea
In pieces." ,
The hours of the flood tldo wero Irk
some to him, waiting, wondering how
it fared with Sandry swinging bo
twecn tho Indians, and thinking bit
terly of Hampden, who was proving
hlmsolf a dangerous enemy.
But ho thought also of tho steamer
plowing down from Portland, which
would stand in at Yaqulna, and ho
know ho would bo ready to turn over
tho raft In splto of all.
"Bo a damn hard matter to tow by
that head," ho told himself; "guess
wo can drift her out an' turn her tall
on."
Then ho fell to wondering if San
dry would over know ot the big chock,
or It It would travel east with him to
tho old man in tho wheeled chair on
Riverside drive muto evidenco of the
tenderfoot's first and last fight!

"Doctor " sho said hoarsely; "doc

Tho doctor had known her for the
sovoral years ho had been in tho coun

beforo answering.
"Close call, S'letz," ho said gently;
"maybo ho'll live maybo not."
For a moment sho swayed upon hor
feet, flinging hor hands across hor
eyes, whllo her breath camo in catch

"But God sits abovo tho sea!" sho
cried at last, tragically. "Oh, Father,
spato him, for ho Is an unbeliever!"
At this tonso moment Poppy Ord

Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps us fit.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom
bustlblo material in tho form ot ashes,
so tho 'food and drink taken day after
day leaves In tho alimentary canal a
certain amount ot Indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat
ed from tho system each day, becomes
food for tho millions of bacteria which
Infest tho bowols. From this mass of
loft-over wasto, toxins and ptomaine
liko polsonB aro formed and sucked
into tho blood.
Mon and women who can't got feel
ing right must begin to tako insldo
baths. Befofo eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with n tcaspoonful of llmestono
phosphato in it to wash out of tho
thirty feet of bowels tho provlous day'B
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keop tho ontlro alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Thoso who aro subjoct to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wako up with bad tasto,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
noss, or havo a sour, gassy stomach
aftor meals, aro urged to get a quarter
pound ot llmestono phosphato from
any druggist or storekeeper, "and be
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffl
clont to mako anyone an enthusiast
on tho BUbjoct.
Remember insldo bathing is more
important than outsido bathing, be
causo tho skin pores do not absorb
impurities into tho blood, causing poor
health, whllo tho bowel poi"es do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
swootens and freshens tho skin, so
hot water and llmestono phosphato
act on tho stomach, liver kidneys and
bowols. Adv.
Proof Unnecessary.

Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give "California
Syrup of Figs."
Children lovo thla "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses tho tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing y
to empty tho bowelB,' and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
wasto, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, thon your little ono becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has soro throat,
stoniacn-acho or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! Seo if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all
tho constipated waste, sour bllo and
undigested food passes out of the sys

Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" becauso It Is perfectly
harmless; children lovo it, and it nev
er fails to act on tho stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a RO-cont bottlo
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
