"Tho incontlvol" triumphed Poppy Ordway, ''but oh, why must It tako him Jrom mo Just now I d hato It I" and aullon nngor and disappointment flared for an unguarded momont In hor oyes. But tho faco of Sllotz between its braids had suddenly fallen into tho mold or grief, faithful rolloctlon of Pahdry'a own, and sho slid off tho porch to stop softly, unconsciously hear, with her hands clasped In dis tress. Aii hour later tho owner ot tho Dll Mqgworth gavo n hand to Poppy and Bllotz simultaneously, looked from ono faco to tho othor, Baw Lovo in tho black oyes and tho blue, and felt a pain at his heart that ho could not explain. i Ma put a motherly touch on his nnouldor and said a word that was simple and earnest and tondor as hor Btoat hoart John took hia last bur rlod ordors, and Sandry was off In tho Vig ho had tolophonod for to Toledo.

Breathless, weak, scarco ablo to stand for tho strain on his right limb, sSandry paused with HIgglns hovorlng adoringly around him in tho dusky, draped hall boforo tho magnlflcont iroom ot tho lvprios and browns. There was tho acho ot tears in his 'throat, a torrlblo horror of what lay .'behind tho closed doors, an unondur tablo anguish ot abnormal lovo; but ho Bquorod his shouldors, lifted his head with hla old, Jaunty air and ontored. 1H0 ovon called a smilo to hlo lips.

And with a shudder to tho boy's oars camo an echo, "Absalom!" Ho dropped bosldo tho bed, gath--orod tho whlto hoad In his arms, and rockod to and fro as women rock In anguish. Presently Mr. Wilton Sandry pushed 'bis son from him with falling hands and gazed upon his faco with tho tarred oyca of long-denied affection.

A " Tho word trailed off suddenly, loav Ing tho lips open. Thoro was a long breath, broken abruptly. Tho eyes closed naturally, slowly. Tho whlto head slid gently down from Sandry's shoulder. With a cry that rang through tho room, Walter Sandry sprang up, lifting tho body. "Fathort" ho cried onco terribly. Then ho laid it back upon tho bed, turning away with shaking lips. Ho clasped his hands hard boblnd him, while Doctor Gentry camo silent ly nnd laid an arm around his shoul ders.

Hottest It's boon for many a year; "It's a-goln' to bo a mighty dry Benson an' it's n-comlu' early." Which prophecy seemed duo to bo fulfilled. A bluo heat hazo lay deep In tho vnlloys, hung amid tho hills. Tho deep floor of plno needles In tko big woods was already dry as powder, and It was only lato July. Tho camp was humming ahead with tho work. They had oxecoded their expectations iu getting out logs, sending out moro than thoy had plannod. Miss Ordway, still mistress ot the llttlo south room, worked feverishly at tho now story of tho timborlands. A bit of her brightness, somo of her painstaking choerlncss, was gono with tho summer's heat. Sho had thought that long beforo this sho would havo won, that tho ongagomont sho had so daringly announced would bo a fact. Sho could not understand his holding out against her. Sandry had mado many trips to Salem, consulting with the lawyer he had summoned from tho East, who was turning heaven and earth In an effort to provo what Sandry know to bo truo of Hampden, but it was unavail ing. Tho young commissioner at Sa lem was "on to his Job" and tho weeks flow by with not ono raveled end to tho ball of fraud and deception and criminal lntrlguo which lay snug In tho doctored records ot tho stato land of fice. Miss Ordway had dropped her filing for tho timber claim and tho young commissioner was uneasily searching his" offices for tho two let ters nnd a missing account book. Ho did not fnlntly suspect that tho last tlrao ho had seen them was during tho visit to Salom ot tho charming now acquisition to tho "ring." In fact, somo of thoso days wpre still shrould cd In a nebulous hazo of mystery red wlno and red lips and a hoady Infatua tion. But things woro approaching an other chango In Daily's lumber camp. Ono day In latq July Sandry wrote sev eral letters and Poppy Ordway. loan ing familiarly ovor hla ahouldor. reached nut a hand for thorn. "I'm going up to tho forked stick," sho said languidly, "and I'll tako them." Tho dainty fingers woro all but trembling with cngemoss, for sho saw that ono ot thorn was addressed to John H. Mussoldorn, at a town in Now Jorsoy. Thoro waB nono to observe hor on tho sunny Slletz road behind tho low growth of apruco, and whon sho strolled down tho llttlo meadow again toward tho cook-shack, that par ticular letter lay safo lnsldo tho bosom of her- dress. Sho wont straight to tho south room, entered and closed tho door. Hor hands trembled violently, but there was no compunction for what sho was about to do In hor heart. Sho was protty woll armed with knowledgo that would glvo her a hold on Sandry, in enso oho was forced to uso it, but horo, sho bollovod, would bo proof pos Itlvo, tho actual written word that sho might hold boforo his oyes In eotno hard event ot tho future With strong oxcltcmont sho silt tho cnvolopo, drew out tho shoot and bo- gan to read. Pastor and faster camo her -hot breath, rodder1 and redder grow hor cheeks, whllo triumph spar kled In hor oyes. Sho moved slightly on her slippered feet, a llttlo motion ot satisfaction that sot her garments whlsporlng as whon tho tiger, scent ing ItB prey, squirms beforo tho leap. With cagor hasto Bho eat down at hor typewriter and began to wrlto. When sho had flnlshod an hour later, aftor long Intorvals of study, thero lay under her hand a very crodltablo briof of tho famous Whitby case a verba tim copy of Presldont Whitby's last lottor, a concise history of Wnltor San dry's llfo since college, tho notes In tho red morocco book, plainly spool flod no bis dellrlouB words, and a copy ot this letter to Mussoldorn. Taken together, thoy mndo a chain of deduc tions so plain and simple as to be condemning ovldcnce. At that moment Sandry himself, stopping near tho south window, called her to como out and sco tho Slletz squaws with their pyramids of bas kets going down to Toledo. At his volco sho laid n Jealous hand over the papers, hurriedly pushed Ihcm back for safoty, and rose. Dut Fate, that had bcon waiting, gavo overlmpotus to tho cautious motion and shoved them a llttlo too far back, so that they hung In tho small spaco botween tho typo wrltor nand and tho wall hung ten tatively until tho wind from tho clos ing door, which, as If It, too, woro In conspiracy, did not latch, caught them and pulled thorn down to tho clean, rag-carpetod floor. "Como, S'lotz," called Sandry as thoy started for tho road to Intercept tho basket-bearers, but Slletz, sitting in tho west door with her chin in her cupped palms, shook her head. Tho boat was Intense for tho coast country, dry and brilliant, and tho hills wero bluo as turquoise. Sho watched Sandry and Miss Ordway for The Young Commissioner Was Un easily Searching His Offices. a long time as they picked among tho troasures from tho tide-lands, and pres ently thoy fell In with tho small, brown women and all disappeared around tho bend in tho Slletz road. Tho aching fury began to rlso in her at thought of thoao two, alone, leav ing tho women, idling back together. Perhaps thoy would climb tho hills for a way, and Bit togother--perhaps but hero tho sadness fell upon her that said sho was unworthy. Had he not kissed her, and was sho not his woman? His oyo3 wero truo, and thoy had spoken things that bado hor bo calm. Not yet had aha learned tho lesson of his greatness that kept him always so quiet and sane, ovon in trouble. Thcro came a step besido her, a soft stop padding on tho worn, baro floor, and Coosnah camo from the oast porch, panting with tho heat. He leaned against tho jamb of the door to tho llttlo south room, scratching luxuriously, and promptly Jumped as tho door swung swiftly Inward. Again Fato smiled impishly and sent at that auspicious moment tho first good broozo ot tho warm day sucking up tho valley. It caught tho papers on tho floor under tho typewriter table, fluttered thom daringly, and with a whlstlo and whoop boro' them tum bling out across the Bwept boards of tho oatlng-room floor, to lodge against tho rocker of Ma's little chair. Tho girl in tho doorway turned, reaching out a half-unwilling hand to savo her rival's property. Not yet had Sllotz learned a tenth of Sandry's codo, olso she would havo folded the packet and laid It aside. Instead, with tho freodom of camp Ufo and utter innocenco, sho bogan to read, wondorlngly at first, then, as sho saw Sandry's unmo, with hushed breath and partodiips. When she had finished tho first part Bho pausod and stared out across tho sloping lift of meadow, already soro and brown with tho summer heat. Puzzled, but half comprehending, yet filled with a nanio less fear, sho folt hor fingers shaking as sho turned the pagoi to Sandry's letter. Dnlly's Camp, Toledo, July 29, 19 John II.

Trembling with premonition ot dis aster to Sandry, Sllotz sat holding tho strango documents. A groat angor bogan to well In her against tho othor woman. Sho opened tho buttons of her bluo shirt nnd dropped tho folded packet insldo Its blouse. On tho Slletz road Sandry and MUa Ordway woro strolling back. They stopped a moment at tho forkod stick, and Poppy Ordway dropped Sandry'B letter, rc-sealed, Into tho sack beforo his very eyes. It was a daring thing to do and It set her blood leaping for Joy In her own coolness. When thoy reached tho camp sho wont directly to hor room. It was a long tlmo boforo sho enrao out again, and Sandry had gono. Whon sho did alio stood in tho doorway and looked at Sllotz, whlto and filled with a towering angor, and Silctz, looked back as whlto. Thoy wero womn, puro and simple, and thoy matched in that moment their wit and their strength. Miss Ordway know by that look that Sllotz had thoso papors more, that sho know thoir contents but sho dared not say a word. If tho girl should show thom to Sandry, should destroy thom Sho was al most on tho point of flinging herself upon tho slim, dnrk croature, risen along tho doorpost, nnd fighting for possession of her proporty. But there won somothlng Blckonlng In tho steady glint of thoso dark eyes, In tho half wild crouch of tho slender body, nnd sho only stood and held to tho lintel, consumed with a wrath that could havo killed. But tho wrath of Sllotz was worso It would havo killed, forgetful of tho Preacher, whoso word had been hor simple law of life, forgetful of Sandry, who had becomo her pattern In his sanity and Judgment. With an effort tho woman moistened her lips. "Did did you find a bunch of let ters?" sho asked between her gripping teeth. And Silctz, for tho first tlmo in hor life, choked down hor literal fear of damnation and lied. "Lord, forglvo mo," sho whispered first, and then, "No." (TO BE CONTINUED.) WAR-CRIES USED BY THE JEW They Are Many and In All Tongues, But Another One Is Said to Be Coming. "Tho Jow has aB many war-cries aa there are tongues In Europe, for ho fights with them all; and then ho has his own war-cry, that eternal tearful cry of his that In theso days la rending tho heavens over Russian and Gallclan Polands," E. R. LIpsett writes In tho Century. "And still thoro Is another and a newer cry coming, tho war-cry of the noutral Jew. To arma! to arms! O Is rael! haa arisen, tho sudden thunder ing cry throughout tho length and breadth of tho New York Ghetto and all tho othor Ghettos iu tho larger cities of America. "Wo know, of courso, what aro the arms of tho Ghetto Jew; they aro tongue and port By means of theso It is intended to raise tho Jow from tho dopths of hln ashes and mako htm a live nation again.

"That is to say, in brief, that while nearly three-quarters of a million Jows on tho European battlefields aro at ono another's throats, in vindication each of a different nationality, tho Jowa far away from tho buratlng shells and glittering bayonets aro calling out to thom: 'No, you aro all in tho wrong. For you aro all one.' "It ls not for us to determine whether tho Jows aro a nation. It is n.rt for ono man to tell another what ho should be. Ono is what ono feels.

Under tho precautions taken to pre vent tho extinction of th'o fur seals In Alaska and tho Prlbllof Islands tho species has multiplied so rapidly that tho bureau ot fisheries now recom mends that tho killing of malo seals bo resumed. Ever since tho signing of the pe-1 laglc treaty betwoon Russia, England, Japan and our own nation, prohibit ing tho destruction of cow seals upon tho high seas, tho government has taken an occasional census of the senls. Tho last of theso fixed tho number of seals owned by tho United States nt 301,844, as against less than twenty thousand In 1906. Besides fur, other possible uso of tho seal is being considered by tho bureau of fisheries. Tho scarcity of tho world's meat supply and tho tremon dous incrcaso in Reals as rovealcd by tho last census suggest tho shipping ot seal meat to tho United States for food. Those who bavo tasted it say that meat from a young seal is doll clous In flavor anl that seal steak would bo a popular addition to a fash ionable hotel menu. Familiar Objects to Him.
