h CHAPTER XXIV.
"FlQhtl Fight Like Helll"
Cl So began yollod hostilities botweon
those two. At first Mlsa Ordway cov
ered hor fury with a smllo and tried
evory art of conciliation, but Sllotz
hold far from hor. Night and day sho
kept tho packet In hor broast, though
for what ond sho did not know. Sho
know only with hor unfailing Instinct
that It must never go east to tho
.cities, or infinlto harm would befall
Sandry. Also, as unfailingly, tho same
instinct warned hor not to show thorn
to J him, even though their possession
might moan his safety. Tho primal
cunning of woman kept hor from bo
Uttllng or botraylng hor rival.
Sandry, was becoming moro and
more anxious about tho Bast Dolt.
Moro nnd moro ho feared tho contin
gency of having' to fall back upon a
woman for help at tho last, and this
was particularly galling to his man
hood. It had bocomo a porsonal question
with him, tho "gottlng" of Hampdon.
The tlmbor at tho north was running
bottor than they had oxpocted, and
Dally and Collins with tho lumbor
jacks from Sacramento and tho SI
washes woro doing splendidly. Still
the magnlflcont bolt was tho DUllng
worth's future and It was In gravo
Jeopardy.
.From tlmo to time ho ran across
Hampden along tho shoros of tho
backwater, at Toledo, or on tho Sl
letz road. Horo tho Yollow Pines'
owner often rodo to meet Miss Ord
way who had leBBonod hor efforts In
his direction slnco ho had glvon hor
all tho material sho neodod tor his
own undoing. Ho was moro wild
about her than over, and addod to
his enndty for Sandry tho mighty
spur of suspicious jealousy.
i So July dragged out In bluo heat
. and August blazed down upon tho
hills.
Tho eastern lawyer at Salem was
ready to glvo up In despair. Not ono
tiniest point showed itsolf whereon
ha could hang a thread of ovldonce;
and ono day Sandry, sitting on tho
oast porch, shocked; tho hoart Into
Miss Ordway's throat.
"I bollovo I will write to Now York
(or Uio groat FnrnBworth," ho sulci;
lt's a mighty risk, for ho'll bankrupt
me It ho cornea, though It's hardly
likely ho'll bother. Thoy don't know
tho chances for big work out horo."
And tho -woman shut hor teeth
bard, whllo tho blood loft hor faco
to pale anger. Sllotz, on tho step,
played with Coosnah'a oars and Bho,
too, lost a bit of color.
Tho next day Miss Ordway mado a
flying trip to Salem, stopped over a
train, and wont on to Portland, Thoro
the sought out tho most well-thought-of
legal firm In tho. city and
was closetod tor three hours in its
privato offices.
She was much too Bhrowd to trust
the great schema in tho hands of a
Salem firm. But horo oho had bun
Misled aftor all, for hor nowly allied
, , lawyer, a flno-looklng, open-faced In
dividual, followed hor to Salem on
tho next train, boarlng copies of hor
- mystorlonsly obtained proofs of
Hampden's guilt, which wero as good
.s warrants for his arraignment and
(hat of tho nmorouB young commis
sioner. Tho "ring" wnB wider than sho
bad any conception of and reached
afar throughout tho Bt.
Shf) was not halt over tho Coast
' Xlango on tho ono-horso railroad when
her lawyer laid the, copied papors on
the commissioner's privato dosk,
" "It's como at last," ho said tensely;
"somebody's leakod."
And In a lightning flash tho com
missioner knew what had become et
WJ 1x1 W
1 Mpsfc&
jyp company,
his account book and tho missing let
ters from llampdon.
Ho slumped In his chair, drumming
with sonseless fingers on Its arm.
Ho saw black bars across tho win
dow with tho waving trcos boyond,
and know himself for that weakest
among men, a woman's tool.
So, filled with excited determina
tion to beat Sandry with tho Hamp
don caso and forestall his sending for
FarnBworth, which was tho last thing
aho wantod, Poppy Ordway again
rodo up tho valloy. Tho mighty hills
woro Bilent in tho deadlock of an
Oregon summer. No breath of wind
found Its way Into tho sholtorod val
leys and tho pines woro still.
Tho tldowator slough was gray
with tho Inland brlno.
"QlorlouBl" sho said to horsolf, lift
ing hor gazo to tho hazy mountains.
"And I'll savo It for him oven
against his will I"
Sho was sura sho had succeeded
in hor miBston, and, happy In tho
knowledge, was oagor to bo out of
tho hired rig.
And Sandry, as ho assisted hor out,
thought simply that sho was tho
.most beautiful woman in tho world,
for all tho Joy of triumph lont sparklo
to hor lovely foaturos, doopened tho
slumbrous blue of hor oyos.
No word hod ever been spoken
about that night at tho rollway and
Sandry boro a sonso of guilt that ho
had takon hor avowal without open
reciprocation. But tho faco of Sllotz
hold him back. Ho scorned hlmsolt
and yet ho know ho wob blameless,
save for that unguarded kiss In-tUo
Blade.
But did ho wish to reciprocate? Ho
did not know.
Daily's camp droned on gottlng
out Its logs, flooding them down tho
slough, binding thorn slowly into the
now familiar ocean-going raft.
Tho foroman himself was un
changed, though tho world had
changed for him slnco that mlBer
ablo "Yes" of Sllotz In tho darkened
room when ho laid a gentlo hand on
her shoulder. To Sandry ho was tho
samo, for ho had come, through tho
slow processes of tho slmplo naturo,
to bo his frlond. Tho elusive fine
ness that had shown plain to Sandry
from tho first in John Daily's heart
was solid as a rock, a foundation, an
abutmont.
They watchod Hampdon's trail
grow toward the East Bolt with an
exaggerated slownosa, a flaunting of
aocurlty.
And thon, two days aftor Miss Ord
way's return, tho young commission
er nnd tho Portland lawyer got off
tho train at Toledo and woro driven
out to tho Yollow Plnos. Thoy bore
for Hampdon tho wildest agony of
his strong Ufa In tho rovolatlon of his
goddess.
Thoy woro clo3oted togothor tho
whole of tho night in tho Yollow
Pines office and It was a strenuous
night for tho two Btrangers, for
Hampdon was a man to fear in his
rages.
At first thoy hold him by main
force, und later by argumont and rea
son. "Fight," said tho lawyer In tho pink
dawn, "fight llko holll And bluff.
It's your only chance."
Tight?" snarled Hampdon hoarso
ly, "what for? This damned driv
olor has lot hor got tho originals of
those lcttors ot mino about tho throe
tlmbor claims in 7-10, and thoy
alono'd put mo bohind barBl You'ro
tho damnedest ass I ovor soon!"
And tho man's email, red oyos
glared at his accomplice with tho
raurdor-luBt. But tho commissioner
had some spirit himself and camo
back with defense.
"Fools? Wo'ro two togothor. It
was from you sho got hor first knowl
odgo ot tho gamo. Sho fooled hor
first suspicions out of you in hor
horseback rldos. Sho told mo so
that's how you took hor in on tho
deals, sho said."
Hampdon groanod and flung his
head In his arms on tho pine table.
'All right," ho said at last, "I'll
fight."
But with tho last sight ot tho buck
board bouncing down tho hill road
with his visitors to catch tho early
train back to Salom, a light grow up
In his heavy faco that would have
puzzled that astuto man, tho Portland
lawyer.
"Yes, by God!" ho said In a voico
thick with monace, "I'll fight l And
I'll mako a fight that'll bo rcmom
bored all along tho coast 1"

Ma sat on tho cast porch In her
llttlo rocker and Sllotz braldod hor
mats on tho Btop, whllo Poppy Ord
way watchod her from a cushion
against tho wall. Tho donkoy tooted
faintly at tho upper cutting, and
from tlmo to tlmo thn dinky engine
trundled its high-piled fiats down tho
llttlo track to tho rollway at tho
Blough's mouth. The men woro all
out und tho summer silence hung
upon tho cook-shack and tho desert
ed cabins, ompty over slnco their for
mer occupants had turned their coats
for Hampdon's two-year contracts.
Suddenly Coosnah, lying on tho
Btep, got up and snlffod tho air. Sl
letz looked at him, her fingers ar
rested. Thon ho sat down on his
haunchoo, throw up his muzzlo, and
began to bay, a melancholy, loncsomo
sound.
"Hush," said Sllotz, "hush, Coos
nah!" And sho, too, lifted her head
after tho fashion of wild things,
smelling tho sultry atmosphere
"Mothcrl" oho cried swiftly, "It's
fire!"
Tho general creaked up and hur
ried to tho stops, but already Slletz
was off and running up tho valloy
toward tho cutting. When sho reached
tho donkoy Sandry was standing be
side It, but the girl passed him with
out a glance, running to whoro the
foreman set a choker.
"Johnl" sho cried; "John thero'o
a fire on tho west rldgo!"
Every man within hearing dropped
his work instantly and stood up.
"Call In th' men," said Dally as ho
passed tho donkoy-cnglneer, "an' send
'om along. We'd better all go, Mr.
Sandry. 'Taln't likely It's much, but
wo got to stomp It out, whatever 'tis.
I ben a lookln' fer 'em."
Thoy all trailed down tho valloy on
a dogtrot. It took them tho bottor
part of an hour, but when thoy wont
down thoro was not a spark loft
alight.
"What do you supposo started It,
John?" asked Sandry.
"Oh, some darned little collcgo
snipo from Corvallls, likely, with a
gun an' a cigarette. Or mebbo It was
somo camper stayln' overnight on
tho rldgo somo greenhorn. An it'sg

Thoy wont back to tho cutting.
though every Jack of them lifted up
his eyes from tlmo to tlmo to tho
ridges around. At supper tho loggers
discussed tho forest fires of other
years, tho topic opened by tho inci
dent. It was a close night with a
dark sky, though tho heat had given
way to tho swoot coolnoss of tho
coast under tho mysterious ocean
wind, and Sandry from his old seat
at tablo looked out at tho western
ridge.
"John!" h cried, rising suddenly,
"It's broken out again!"
Suro onough. Against tho upper
darkness llttlo rod tongues licked fit
fully up and tho men, whito and In
dian, tumbled out of tho cook-shack.
It was twelve o'clock when they
turned In, and Sandry was puzzled.
The next day nothing happened.
Thon at dawn of tho day following
tho camp awoko to see a fine, fairy
white haze all through tho valloy and
tho crest of tho wost rldgo, for half
a mllo, sending up fanciful pearl
plumes In tho soft morning. This
tlmo it had gained a start and tho
camp turned out in earnest.
"John," said Sandry Bolomnly, "that
1ft no college boy with hl3 cigarette.
Could It bo Hampdon?"
Tho foroman turned upon tho
own or.
"You hain't a real westerner, yet,
Mr. Sandry," ho said with a smllo.
"You think Hampdon'd rosk his yolla
plno ns fine tlmbor as there is In th'
whole etato? Ho'd bury th hatchet
an' como fight with us llko a brother
first."
"Thon what's setting thoso fires?

and died, to leap again across tho
early twilight at tho valley's head.
"That's damned closo to our cut
tin' 1" cried Daily starting down tho
mountain on a sliding run.
And that last fire, burning strongly
where no brand could havo dropped
ovon with a wind, marked tho begin-
"It's Broken Out Again!"
nlng of Buch a tlmo ot anxloty, of fear
that grew and mounted to hoart-stlll-lng
panic, of superhuman labor, as
Sandry, a year beforo, could not havo
boliovod possible n tlmo to bo long
romomborod in the coast country.
By oight o'clock noxt morning tho
llttlo wind from tho backwater had
rsnod with a dovlllsh perversity,
blowing Uio creoplng flames merrily
toward tho north.
Dally sent Sllotz on Black Bolt to
Toledo, to ask for a dozen men to
help In tho fight.
Ho abandoned tho ono on tho
rldgo, for flro goes down hill slowly,
and sot his men again In tho valloy.
Within an hour after Sllotz loft,
men began to arrive by tho road on
horsoback, In wagons, and later on
foot, for thorj Is no call llko that of
' "Flro" In the big woods to bring ro-
wSrm
cruits. They put themselves under
Daily'B orders and feK to with a will,
beating out tho surface flames, cutting
every sapling In sight, dlgglpg
tronches to head off any ground flreu
that might ho startod.
But destiny was against tho DIl-
llngworth. Tho wind "unusual," to
U80 that overworked word of tho ro
glon truly for once grow steadily,
and dosplto tho trained work, for ev
ery man know this business, It rUBhojl
tho flames through tho undorgrowth
faster than thoy could handle It.
Dally, black with smoko and ashes,
waB ovorywhero. Sandry clung at his
heols, watching his methods, learn
ing everything ho could, listening,
picking up, catching on with light
ning rapidity. Ho know himself to
bo ignorant, and whoro ho wao tho
head with his Interest at stake ho
must maito himself competent.
By night Dally was grm and silent
hoarso with shouting, and ho stamped
into tho porch, whoro tho women
watched the flames that flared rod
against tho night in a hundred
placcB on tho wost rldgo and up tho
hills on both sides at tho cutting.
"S'letz, honey," ho rasped, "I'll have to
call on you agin. Thoy's a now
ono ovor the first shouldor toward
tho East Bolt up In th' old cuttin.
Itido down to Toledo an tell 'om to
send th' town. Wo'll need 'om all.
I can't sparo a man I'vo sont out
Blx to hunt th' dovll behind this, nn'
if I ketch him I'll kill him, damn
him!"
"Son!" Bald Ma from tho Bhadows.
So Sllotz and Black Bolt and Coos
nah thundored down through tho
darknoss to savo the Dllllngworth,
and tho heart in tho girl's brdast was
throbbing with anxiety for Sandry
black as Dally, and as rough looking,
fighting with his lessor strength, a
Westornor at last by every sign.
By midnight the town was thero,
and Dally caw among tho crowd Har
ris, his old saw-filer, young Anwor
thy nnd scvoral moro of thoso who
had deserted to tho god of gold. They
kept Dhooplshly in tho background,
but thoy were thero for tho common
good that Daily had spoken of they
would havo answered a call from a
real enemy In such a crisis, for that
is the way of tho West.
Ma Daily, passing hor Interminable
tin cups of coffee sho had brought a
great iron kettlo and boiled it over a
fire on tho ground stopped beforo
Anworthy, the curly headed boy of
whom sho was very fond, with a hand
on his shoulder.
"I'm mighty glad to seo you, son,"
sho said kindly, and the young scape
goat had tho graco to blush.
Destiny was against tho Dllling
worth. Tho wind leaped and shout
ed up botweon tho hills and by mid
night tho flames suddenly leaped up
as If a rostraint had been removed.
Huge, red streamers flung themsolvos
out against tho black night sky,
reaching half way to tho zenith.
Dense cloudB ot smoke leaped and
bollled to tho heavens, while tho roar
that appalls a woodsman's heart began
to sound throughout tho hills.
John Dally, working llko a giant,
wont white beneath his grimo at
sound ot It.
"My God!" ho cried hoarsely, it's
goln' away from us!"
And Sandry, halted a paco away
by that cry of despair, ldoked upon
tho first really great sight of his life.
"More men!" shouted tho foreman
hoarsely. "You Harris, go tolophono
to Corvallls for moro men."
"It'B done, Johnny," said Ma Dally,
panting in tho light, her sleeves
rolled up from brown, capable arms,
"I sent S'letz somo tlmo back. She's
callln' for all tho stations between."
Tho valley' waB as light as day, illu
mined all up and down its length, and
throo horsemen woro loping up its
lovol floor. Lean, lithe men they
woro, clad in sober khaki, and they
leaped from their horses with busl
nessllko alacrity, dropping reins over
saddle horns instoad of on the ground.
Those threo horses woro well trained,
intelligent aids, ready to. stand for
hours in ono opot, to como at a
whlstlo, and they wanted no drag
ging straps to hinder.
"Wo'ro forest rangers," announced
tho spokesman, a quick-eyed, stoady
young chap, to Sandry, "give mo your
men."
"Thank th' Lord!" said Dally fer
vently, "tako command."
Tho newcomer talked a momont
with his two companions, motioning.
dividing localities, sketching a quick
plan. Then ho gathered twenty mon,
putting thorn under one ot his aides.
''Go up over that ridge," he direct
ed briefly, "and cut a forty-foot fall
straight across tho dip bohind tho
flro. Go on and cut It up ovor tho big
rldgo. Don't stop to fight."
As tho men .hurried off with cross
cuts and axes, he plunged Into the
smoko and flro, Bhoutlng torso com
mands, taking men from what seemed
Imporatlvo tasks to put them at work
In placos removed from tho flro dig
ging tronchos, cutting n great plno
horo, a towering spruce or fir thoro.
"Good man," panted Sandry to his
foroman as they passed with axes
and dripping sacks.
"Best thing in tho tlmbor. They
know th' woods an' th' fires an' th'
air curronts. Wlsh't wo had" a hun
dred of 'om. They'd save th' country
'ts goln' to hell with theso fires."
Dawn camo over tho mountains in
blood-red haze. And everywhero tho
mon, llko ants attacking somo mighty
task, tolled without sloop.
Dally had boon up for forty-olght
hourB, yot ho wont ns strongly as at
tho beginning, whllo Sandry, still far
from hale, was compollod to drop for
an hour's sloop. In fact, Ma did tho
compelling, going into tho smoko and
ashes after him, bringing him out
bodily with a firm hand on his' shoulder,
"You'ro spoiling mo," ho protosted
through soot-grlmod lips, "and I can't
afford to sleep."
"Can't afford to go down for good,"
said tho general sternly, "no steam,
no powor. Food an Blcop ruoi an'
water. Do you tond to your hilars."
A.nd tho owner, with n wry smllo,
sank on a pllo of gunnysackB besldo
tho improvised rollway of tho uppor
cuttlnc.
When ho awoko It was to find him
self under a light blanket of fanciful
woavo which bolonged to Sllotz. The
shy, silent girl sad been about him In
his sleep.
When ho hurrlod to tho work ho
saw hero and thoro grovps of Indians.
Tho reservation had arncfld In forco.
But things woro growing worso with
cvory tour. .
Flro was ovorywhero, In tho earth
and in tho heavens. It heated (ho
sweet winds to unbearable, scorching
blasts. It Illumined tho dun dusk with
dull, crimson light. It deserted tho
cutting and awopt forward toward tho
north, leaving ashcB and ruin, sullon
brands and smoldering logs that
flamed forth vindictively from- time
to tlmo.
So dawn found them on that hot,
grim day In August.
Tho lean, young rnngor was ovory
whero, and Sandry, In amazed appre
ciation, saw a trench shut off a
ground-fi.ro, nnd tho foiling of a single
plno chango tho trend ot a flood of
flame that was going' out of bounds.
But by twelvo o'clock tho wind
turned and headod south. With np
palllng might tho flood spread up
tho ridges, crept down Into the dip
and Joined tho slow-burning menace
there.
At that tho ranger fired throo shots
into tho air which brought ono of his
aids running out ot tho Btnoko, pant
ing and disheveled from fighting
hand-to-hand with a growth of young
spruce.
"Go telograph for tho Vancouver
soldlors," ho directed tersoly, "this
Is going to beat all records."

THEIR DUTIES TO "SOCIETY"
Women Would Find It Hard to An
swer Why They Assume Res
ponsibilities of Position.
Everyone knows what "society" Is,
although to anyono who did not It
would be difficult to explain. Men
laugh at it, but it is not to be laughed
at. With a power as strong as the
church, or stronger, It lies about us,
impalpable, whimsical, almost irresist
ible. It may tako all a woman has
to glvo, and give llttlo back; or It may
give everything it has to give, and de
mand little. Whether it is woman's
highest duty, or hor toy, has appar
ently not been decided. Whether those
who glvo themselves to it most ontiro
ly do so In an abandonment ot self-in-dulgenco
or In a spirit of high sacri
fice, ono cannot say. Tho Inveterate
habit, common to all people, of dress
ing up whatever thoy are doing In a
cloak of morality, has in this case bo
confused all the phraseology of social
rites that It is impossible to tell what
is pleasure and what Is crucifixion.
Women dross, not because they like to
look pretty, but because thoy "owe it"
to their husbands, or their children, or
to society. Thoy make calls and glvo
dinners, not because thoy like it. but
because they feel themsolves obliged
to, and they are glad when It is over.
They go to parties, not because thoy
expect to havo a good time they pro
fesB to be borod by them but because
for various reasons it seems necessary

Potash and Phosphates.
Tho agricultural department of the
University ot Illinois has published an
other report dealing with the soils ot
thlB state and the fertilizers which
thoy need. This now investigation,
liko tho last, shows that Illinois fnrm
ors need not worry about potash. With
tho exception ot swamp lands our soils
hayo all tho potassium salts they need,
and tho addition of more is a stimu
lant rather .than a food.
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus, and tho United States
has a plentiful supply ot phosphato
rock. This is good nows to farmors
who had boon taught that tho lack of
Gorman potash would cut down their
crops. It tends likewise o Btimulnto
an American industry which was be
ing hidden behind clover foreign ad
vertising. By tho timo this war is
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer It really needs, and
what tho stuff is worth on the soil.
