Company II, under Captain Donald son, they trotted swiftly up with tho quickstep of hard-trained Infantry and stood in column of fours wJillo tho officers sought tho head of af fairs. Dally promptly sent for tho young forest ranger, and In loss than it takes In the tolling theso two keen witted Westerners, tho woodsman and tho soldier, wore ready to grap ple with tho onomy. Llght-marchlng kits woro dumped upon tho ground nnd tho hard-muscled, men took to tho hills and tho timber under quick, dccislvo orders. Two hours later wagons arrived with commissary sup plies and tho smoky, blackened val loy took on a military air. It was a Titan Btrugglo, and it was Indicatlvo of tho forco that has con quered nature tho human atoms toll ing In Bomidarkncss beneath tho threatening forest, choked by tho smoke, flayed by tho almost unboar ablo heat, menaced by tho flames that nt any moment might sweop horo or thoro among tho rockn and decllvltlos of tho uneven hills and cut off escape That was tho groat danger thoy guarded against tho possibility of getting hommed in. Guards wero do tallod to watch tho vanguards of tho foo, to note tho speed of tho flames, tho Ho of tho tlmbor, tho lines that woro likely to go fastest, following tho difforent growths, but In tho mysteri ous dusk and tho sllenco of vast mingled sounds thoy woro impotent and each man had to tako caro of him- BOlf. Tho mighty boom of falling patri archs of tho forest, hoary with a thou sand years of aco. crashinc throuch obstructing branches, shook tho earth oach moment. With each such stu pendous fall wealth and world-ocon-omy and prudenco trembled at tho sacrllogo. It was a carnival of wasto, a sacrlfico ot tho gifts of God and nmong all thoso who fought It with heart and hand and brnin thero was nono who knew its worldwldo import so well, who lamonted It so keenly as tho loan, brown forest rangorB whoso special foo It was. "And to think a dozen miles of gov ernment trails would havo provonted It I" cried tho leador with nn oath. Out in tho valloys boyond, tho heavy Bmoko had qbscurod tho sotting Bun entirely. Over tho crest of tho Coast Ilango It had spread up to tho heav ons, drifted afar on tho changing wind and all tho distant valloy ot tho Wll lamotto know that tho forest fires woro burning In tho hlllB. Tho papors throughout tho otato told of It that day, and It awakoned no moro lntorcst than would havo at tended the announcement ot a hcavior run ot salmon than was usual in tho Columbia. Thoy woro too common, thoso fires that sportod with tho national wealth each year, too much a part of every day Hfo, and thoy did not know that this was to bo a marker of tlmo In tho coast country. Tlmo waB when thoy woro unknown, thoso monHtors of destruction a long paat tlmo It was, when thoso first for est rangors, tho silent Red Mon of tho hills, had burned out tho under brush oach yoar so that a pony might go anywhere unhindered. Tho sllont rangorB had gono with tho yoars passed to tho Hunting Grounds and tho reservations, via civ ilization, and now tho groat tlmbor had shod its dry follago and its pitch, tho llttlo growths had sprung up sea son aftor Bcason, tho vines had crept botwoon and a man might not pono trato tho faBtneases without built trallB. So Dostlny took up tho land and iplayod with It that hot, dry August. All through tho early hours of tho long night thoy labored, dirty, black ened, tattered scarecrows ot mon, run ning horo and thero, digging llko mad In tho wtdo trench that was to stop tho Burfaco flames, sawing uncoas Ihgly at tho towering troes, while tho guards brought twenty-minute tidings ot tho approaching flro. High agalnBt tho dun, smokc-Ilght-onod oky tho dark canopy ot tho East Bolt whlsporod and moaned us It in fear, and from tlmo to tlmo Sandry, a haggard, grim-lipped spoctor ot a man, llftod hla bloodshot oyos toward It, It was still his own, IiIb tuturo of tho DUllngwortb, dosplto tho tanglo of Hampdon'B threats, tho unrocordod deed and tho unfinished trail ot tho Yellow Plnoa at tho south, aud it pulled at his hoart pathotlcally. Thoro was still a stretch ot almost Impenetrable timber near tho summit ot tbo big ridgo which must bo cut through boforo tho llamos reached it, br all would bo loBt , "Shall wo mako It, John?" asked K' o owner desporately ot Dally, who n by in tho smoko with wot rags to tlo over tho mouths of tho men. "Ought to it tho wind Btnya where It IB." It waB two o'clock and that hour In tho eleoplng world outside when all the elomcntB aro at an obb. Then, all suddouly, Destiny laughed. And Dostiny's laugh wob a whooping tldo turned. Hell broko looso upon tho land and heaven was not. Flro encompassed tho world. Its incroasod roar changed to tho thunder of tho spheres. It appalled tho hearts of men, stayed tholr hands In fright All throughout tho darkness of rolling smoko whoroin thoy worked botween tho raging torrent and tho East Bolt that mighty volco commanded cessa tion. Instantaneously, without ordors, as ono man whoro thero was no commu nication savo bctwoon thoso a fow feet apart, they dropped their spades, tholr tattered blankets, tholr axes. Thoy straightened from tholr labor, leaving tho cross-cuts In tho trunks. Horo and thoro, abovo tho solemn thunder hoarse voices began to call. It was tho tlmo to quit aud thoy realized it Instinctively. "Out! Out! Out!" thoy cried to each other In tho dusk. "Got outl Got outl" Wnltor Sandry, working near tho apex of tho pushing line, saw men bo ginning to run past him back along tho trench nnd tho cutting. Ho llftod des pcrato oyes to tho ridge whoao dim crest ho could seo between tho boles, so near had thoy won to victory. Only n fow moro big pines, a dozen saplings, a scant fow yards of trench and It would bo done tho long In,no of safety stretched across tho neck of tho East Belt! "Stop! Stop! Stop!" ho cried with a great volco tllat camo from tho very depths ot hla lungs with borrowed powor. "Stand by mo, mon! For God's sako Btand by!" Ho saw dim shapes falter, half turn toward him and start on. Again ho raised his Btcntorlan cry and flying figures halted a moment, stopped against their will by its compelling power. "I'm Johnny Eastern, all right, but I'm going to Btay! Who'll stay with mo?" Out of tho donso obscurity camo Col lins, a hugo, fantastic flguro, and stood besldo him without a word. In tho ton sion of tho tlmo Sandry reached out u hand and gripped tho giant's shoulder. "A dozon mon nnd wo'vo won!" ho cried. Ho saw tho halting shapes turn, gather anothor and another, retrace their stops and spring back Into tho darkness. Evory man of thom waB wostorn born and tho taunt had gono homo. Ho loaped hlmsolf for tho handlo of a saw sticking out from tho bolo of a 150-foot sugar plno nnd tho whining song of the cross-cuts tobo again under tho dwarfing roar. Fourteen mon had hoard and an swered that call, and thoy woro alono in tho purgatory of heat aud smoko. All tho rest wero running for their Uvea down tho cleared fall toward the valloy boyond tho dip. From tlmo to tlmo Sandry glanced upward at tho increasing light. Tho sugar plno foil with a ronding roar, and with Harris, who, ho saw for tho first time, had been pulling with him. ho ran to tho noxt Ho saw ns ho ran that ono of the mon, working llko a fury to foil tho saplings, was Murphy, who had greet ed his pompous "DUllngwortb" with such grinning Irony in tho old days. Ho had a momont'B vnguo wondor at this odd Btrlpo of humanity that could hold auch prejudice, fight with Hamp den's mon in Bavago onmlty, to Join tholr ranks later with happy irrespon sibility at tho call of gold, and was ntlll willing to turn back to fight with him on death's brink, bocauso ho had roturned tholr taunt of East and West. Ono by ono, in sllenco, in a tension that drow tho skin tight on their facos, thoy saw tho las. vamalnbig monarchs fall, tho kindling saplings laid on earth, tho trench, much narrower and shallower, croop upward to tho ridgo. Against tlmo, against heat that scorched tholr baro arras and tortured tholr Btnrtlng oyobnlls, agalnBt a sti lling ntmo8phoro that drovo them nearer nnd ncaror to tho earth Tor breath, thoy drow tho last blado, sent tho last big plno crashing toward tho jiorth. Tho ridgo was clear In tho Increas ing glow. "Now!" cried Sandry with tho tri umph of n general on a victorious Hold, "now for tho ridgo and over!" But oven ns ho dropped hla saw and ran, calling his mon, Collins' b)g voice camo through tho rolling smoko with tho calm of finality. "Ain't no 'over.' It's a nlnoty-foot drop on to hard rock boyond that ridgo." Sandry stopped In his tracks, hla along tho fell and tho tronch. Long streamers of flamo wero licking across it. Tho half-looked-for had happoncd. Tho llttlo bunch ot fighters woro hommod in, ringed around by flro. Death fncod them on ovcry sldo. Then, as tho owner sent n searching look to overy quartor, ho sprang for ward. "Horo!" ho cried, "horo! Into Itl Every man of you. In, I say!" At tho croat ot tho sheer ridgo an old, abandoned tunnol gaped in tho gloom, a dim haven ot rofugo. Its mouth was overhung by vlnoa, Its re cess mysterious in tho blackness. San dry sprang to Its edgo and turned back for tho mon to pass. Thoy stood, a small, silent bunch, gazing in wordless consternation at tho red canopy. "Now how in hell did it got across tho fall?" said Collins hoarsoly. But ono by ono thoy stooped and entered tho small black hoo in tho earth. It ran backward Into tho ridgo, scarce tho height of a tall man, its floor uneven with tho heaps of earth fallen from tho roof Blnco sorno long forgotten prospector had carved It out. Horo for a moment thoy breathed moro easily, standing closo together, a sweating, panting, waiting mass of humanity. Sandry stood at tho mouth, tho last to enter. Ho looked out in hushed amazo at tho unchained mad ness of tho burning world. Tho great fire had reached ts zenith. It camo booming and roaring to tho fall and tho trench. Ito sound was indescrib able. Tho heat grew until tho flesh on Sandry's arms and faco roso in bits torn. A sheet of flamo shot sheer across tho tunnel's mouth. Smoko rolled into It and hero and thero a gasping breath ended in a moan. Thero was no air to broatho. Llko trapped animals tho men Jumped horo and there, feeling for an opening, a crovico to crawl into, away from tho agony of heat and nuffocatlon. And then thoy lost control of themselves. "My God" cried Murphy shrilly, "I can't stand ut! Let mo chat an' I'll die an' got ut over!" Ho camo groping to tho entrance, facing tho increasing heat. His faco was a madman's, his mouth open, his fingers crooked like talons. But at tho mouth, that was as tho gate of hell, ho mot tho Easterner, a straight figure against tho light boyond. "No," said Sandry sternly, "go back and Ho down." "What?" ho shrieked, "what? You damned Johnny! You tenderfoot! I'll " And ho flung hlmsolf forward. A smooth, black muzzle camo forth and pushod its brazen monaco Into his faco. "I'll shoot tho first man that at tempts to pass mo," Bald Sandry hoarsoly. Raving nnd cursing, ho backed away. Moro than ono ot tho fourteen bogged to bo allowed to pass, and ono of tho lumberjacks from Sacramento muttered deliriously of calling his bluff. But tho awful moments dragged by and Sandry stood at tho entrance. Tho flamo3 passed all measurement ot light and heat. Ho lost sight ot tho figures at his feet. Ho felt hlmsolf go ing out in tho darkness. "S'letz," ho muttered, "little S'letz " When ho camo to himself again, mon woro crawling across him. Ho could broatho hotter and tho light had les sened. Ho sat up, wincing at tho mov ing of his scorched skin over tho muscles underneath, crawled out with tho rest nnd ono by ono they roso to their feot. Tho great timber of tho East Bolt farther down stood serried and green. Tho effort had not been in vain. Tho holocaust was chocked, tho Bolt was safe. Back toward tho north str6tched a forest of tall, blnck spikes, picked out horo and thero by heavy spots of flro ls It over, Collins?" ho netted, steadying his volco. "Over? Look yonder.

A 0- --ysr Collins' Big Voice Came Through the Rolling Smoke. whoro fallen logs, dry and pitch-laden, burned Bteadlly. Tho green canopy was gono, ovory vino and bit of brush, ovory sapling and fern.

I triad that roso as tho elemental obb- nlr liv tlint rail. Tho mon had closod In with tho In stinct of tholr kind to bo together in danger, as if bo tho dancer woro les soned. But tho Easterner was undaunted. "Then we'll tako to tho East Bolt," ho cried, "even though it is a crown tiro and comtng fast, I think our trench will hold It" With nil conlldenco ho turned to tho south. Instinctively tho men had drawn In behind him. Tho neck ot tho East Delt was a wavering wall of flamo. Ho whirled and glanced back stroamors of flamo along tho trench, "Mr. Sandry," Bald Harris, tho Baw filer, "If you'ro an Easterner 1 hope to God tho brood fills up tho country!" Ho oxtondod a hand which Sandry graspod. 'An' mo," Bald Murphy, his grimy features dlatorted In an expression of mingled gratltudo and contrition, "I tako it all back ovory damn word I evor said against you, an' It's a long list." "Forgot It," Bald Sandry. Ho waB no longer Johnny Eastern. Ho had won 1 hla right to llvo and fight among them. The Shot In the Hills. At camp thoy mot a party, headod by tho foreman, Just starting out In search ot them. Tholr absenco had been discovered only when Dally, com ing in from tho north, whoro his work had bcon laid out, had asked for San dry. At sight of him tho thrco women standing together at tho foot-log gave ovldenco, each In hor way, of thoso emotions which tho suspicion of hla fato had stirred. On Ma's faco waa an unbounded pride that ho had come through, a man of parts, abundantly ablo to caro for himself among n hardier crew. On Miss Ordwny'a thero lay a vast relief, whllo Slletz played with tho collar of hor bluo shirt with trembling fingers and moistened her dry lips. Sandry turned and looked up at tho darkened east with a profound Joy. Ho swept his eyes north to whoro tho red heaven flared nnd staggered to his olllco. "Throo hours, ma," ho croaked in a voice ot warning, "only threo hours' sleep for all of ua. If you givo ua longer I'll novcr forglvo you." It wns truo, as Collins said, that thoy had only begun to fight Through tho hours, days, nights that followed tho saving of tho East Belt thoy took no noto ot tlmo. Up along tho blackened, devastated valley the soldiers moved their camp. Ma Dally shut tho cook-shack and suborned a wagon to haul her big rango up and deposit it alongside tho camp stoves of Company H, whoro sho dispensed coffee to her men and all others with impartial zeal. Miss Ordway, her skirts tucked up from tho contamination ot tho burnod earth which roso in hot. black puffs at every moving foot, was compelled to help if sho would hold that esplonago over Slletz from which sho hoped to realize hor ambition. A bit ter hatred sharpened her bluo eyes upon tho girl, nnd sho ached to selzo her and tear out of her blouse thpt packet of proofs. She was angered at herself that all her cleverness had failed to recover them boforo this. So tho hours passed with smoke and heat and a sun like a copper shield. Men camo and went In relays, sleeping upon tho ground for Bhort shifts, rig Idly apportioned and observed. Tho flood of flame, runner after an arrant wind, had piled its forces in leaping billows in among tho northern hills, it seemed a thing of irresistible might, but tho tollworn men hung to its flank with a dogged persistence, emboldened and encouraged by the success on the east ridge. Sandry, limping painfully, and hag gard as a ghost, stuck with tho van guard dosplto Ma's commands and Tillv'a ronrnlnpa At eneh frnah alrrVit of his face the girl Siletz was wrung with anguish. It scorned as if ho could bear no moro and yet tho spirit In him drovo him on. Onco sho ventured a timid protest. "What Is tho tlmbor worth it you die?" she asked plaintively, and San dry, still somewhat of a boy, parried tho yearning question. "Who would caro?" ho laughed wryly, "would you, Little Squaw?" The girl did not answer, but as sho turned away the ready mist' sprang to her eyes and ho reached a contrite hand to hor shoulder. "Forglvo me! I know you would!" It seomed to Slletz as tho horror swept north and tho men wero lost for hours in tho dim fastnesses, that somothlng was about to happen. Sho felt a presclcnco of disaster which Coosnah shared, and they two stood apart for long spaces of time, silent, listening, tho muscles of each drawn taut. From tlmo to tlmo tho great mohgrol' would squat upon his haunches, lift his heavy muzzlo toward the dun-smoko heavens and bay with a long-drawn, silver noto that was tho very nemo of melancholy. And then camo a dawn when no ono camo In for breakfast, when tho sun, coming over tho ridgo to tho east, was not vislblo. Only a palo light turned tho heavy canopy to shadowed pearl. Tho threo women waited In that silence which over attends tho waiters for 'men who faco dangor. Thoy wero used to tho sllenco, for thoro was no accord botweon thom. Ma Dally had long ago shut this "bird o th' earth" out of her good heart and Slletz hated her with tho fury of tho woman whoso mato Is threatened. At last a solitary Indjan camo down tho valley, running, his mouth full ot oxcltcment and dolorous prediction. Tho whole of tho Slletz would go. It was tho wrath ot tho Great Spirit turned looso upon a wicked world. It was tho judgment Thero was nothing llko it. He fell Into jargon and ro vortod to tho anclont gods, nnd Slletz chocked him stornly. "What do you mean, Quanna?" sho Bald, "have you forgotten tho Preacher and tho Blblo? Thero Is only ono God and ho holds us in tho hollow ot his hand. It Is not tho destruction ot tho world. It will stop. What moro has happoncd, and whoro is Sandry ot the camp?" Everything had happoncd. Tho wholo country was aflro. Not only a ridge or two, a valloy In between, as it had been hero, n day, two days back, but ridgo after ridgo, valloy after val leythe world, the earth, tho heavens. Sandry wa8 aomowhere up behind tho Hog Back. For a moment tho girl looked out banks. Then she turned troubled eyos to tho general. "Mother," sho said, "I know It now. Tkoro's danger to Sandry, and I'm go ing." "Child, you'ro wrong UiIb tlmo, San dry's a man. Well as you know th hlllB I can't lot you go. I forbid It" They faced oach othor n moment whllo Sllotz tossed back hor braids and tightened her belt "I'm going," aha said quietly. Ma Dally, who had raised her, said no moro; but aB shn turned to the Btovo aimlessly as was her wont In evory tlmo of trial, thero was a deeper lino about hor tremulous old mouth. Swltt as the wind tho girl ran down tho valloy toward tho deserted camp. Miss Ordway watched her and against She Felt a Prescience of Disaster Which Coosnah Shared. hor will, drawn by somo subtle excite ment, somo urging power, sho, too, gathered her skirts and began to run across tho pulling ashes. At the lean to sho came upon tho other just lead ing out Black Bolt, a shining beauty, eager for the turf. "I'm going too," panted Poppy, reaching for a bridle that hung behind tho bay.

Moro and moro of tho residues of in dustrial processes that used to bo thrown away aro- being found to con tain somo useful substance. In somo cases tho valuo of what was originally considered a "by-product" has como to exceed that of tho primary product it self. Tho residues of sugar refining havo been discovered to contain a valu able waxy substance in sufficient quan tities to warrant Its extraction on a commercial scale. When a section of sugar cano is ex amined under tho microscopo it is soon that from tho epidermis exudo llttlo protuberance's, straight or curved and disposed perpendicularly to the surface Theso aro made of wax, which, with othor waxy substances contained' In other parts of the plant, passes Into the julco in tho process of its extrac tion. Tho limo used in almost all refineries carries them away in the. refuse of tho precipitation process, from which, tho Idea of rescuing them was not long ago broached. For this purpose tho slimy residue is placed In a receptacle, where it un dergoes a fermentation which destroys the fatty mattors without attacking tho wax. Tho substance is then dried in the sun and afterward in a current of warm air or in u furnace. Tho dry product is crushed and treated with benzlno or carbon disulphld. Tho wax thus obtained is then rellned by being extracted anew with petroleum es sence, and then by filtration through clay or animal black. Tho rcslduo ot this extraction may bo utilized as a lubricant or treated to obtain tho sugar which it still contains. Cano wax thus obtained is whlto or palo yellow. It much resembles in ap pearance Carnauba wax, as also in its hardness nnd high melting point Tho dried slimy residue contains ten tc twolvo per cent of it a sufncfrontly largo proportion to justify tho imlu trial treatment ot theso residues, inuuHf English Lawns as War Maps. -Kd It Is often difficult to comprehend from a small map tho significance ot different movements and the strategic valuo of certain positions in tho pres ent European war, becnuso of tho vast territory involved.
