CHAPTER VII.
Nioht Wind.

From that time forth Sandry began
one thing, he noticed that everyone
called her Sletz, with soft slurring
of the first syllable. and he found him
self using the name which he thought
particularly beautiful It was the
name of the reservation to the north
and Of small part of the odds and
ends of tribes thrown in there by a
beneficent government. What was her
other name? He had always thought
of her as Ma Daily's daughter; and
yet, now that he came to think of it.,
she had never seemed akin to the easy
going, open-minded foreman who was
SO like the old woman. She was alien
to both with her silences, her whimsi-
cal speech and her look of hidden fire.
One day in the late fall, when the
white mist and the evergreen of the
forest had got on his nerves unbear-
ably, Sandry left the Office and went to
the shed for Black Bolt. only to find
him gone. He had meant to ride on
the fit Of blues. Failing that, he decid-
ed to walk it on, and struck UP the wet
green valley to the north.
Almost Immediately the tumbling
hills closed in upon him and he found
himself in "a wilderness of towering

The Lii on Mt. Lassen.

The government geological survey
sends out the somewhat reassuring
report that old Vulcan has clapped
the lid down on Lassen peak. The
great eruption in May seems to have
spent the energy of the volcano, and
the general indications are that it
will cause no more disturbance this
season Though tie mountain may
continue to be an active volcano, the
report says that it is believed that it
will not develop int a devastating
fury, after the manner of vesuvius
or some Of the Alaskan volcanoes or
other well known foreign volcanoes. ("
While Lassen in rage makes quite
a spectacle of itself, and while a vol
cano in eruption adds variety to the
attractions that see America first
offers, yet we could get along quite
well If Vulcan keeps the lid screwed
down, and bit tighter, too, than 1t
is in great many municipalities.

CARING FOR THE UNKNOWN
Patriotic Work Undertaken by Ger
man Women That Is of Real Serv-
ice to the FatherIand.

A correspondent of the Companion
in Germany writes of a touching thing
that the lonely women of the nation
have done-women who have no sons,
no husband, no brother, no father in
the war; who are perhaps too old or
too feeble to nurse or to be otherwise
active. No one knows where the idea
started, but some women of that sort
made inquiries of the regiments re.
garding soldiers who had no father
or mother; they begged to be put in
communication with those soldiers.
The names of soldiers were sent to
these women. this strange name and
that, the names of men whom they
did not know and had never seen!
Each woman chose one or two sol
diers to be her especial care. The
childless mothers sent gifts, and
sewed and knit for the motherless sol
diers. Now and then came, in return,
grateful post card from the field
from the adopted son. Once / read
one OF the cards.
Many thanks, dear friend" 1t reao,
for the package of warm things.
Imagine my surprise! The mail ar
rived! expected nothing. but was
the only one to receive package
alone, the orphan! From you l re-
ceived the only package ever got in
my life!"
Eight days later the orphan soldier
boy fell; comrade brought the news,
and gentle. lonely soul wept for him,
whom she had never known. He had
been the means of forming strong
tie that bound in imagination a wom-
ans silent life with the mighty fate
OF her country She who had never
been mother had become volun-
teer mother.-Youth's Companion.

dies and surrounded with ferns, when
he caught the sound of voices They
came from the dense wall of the woods
at his right and unconsciously he lis
tened, tipping his head and straining
his ears. Presently look of blank
ness spread upon his face.
One of the voices was familiar, soft
and sliding with minors, the voice of
the girl Siletz. and she was speaking
jargon.
Even as this amazing knowledge
was borne in upon him the tangle
parted and she stepped out before him.
A Siletz squaw followed her, short
brown creature of comely features.

pyramid Of baskets slung to one Shout
der. Nosing eagerly at the girls ell
bow stepped Black Bolt, while Coos
nah brought up the rear. They per-
ceived him instantly and the Indian
woman turned away with few gut
turals which Siletz answered gently.
But in the moment that she had con-
fronted him, Sandry had seen her face
and received a shock.
Beginning just under the lower lip
and running downward to the base of
the chin there stood out three blue
bars. each composed of infinitely tat
tooed designs. Unconsciously his star
tied eyes flew to the dark face of the

after her. Coosnah, following with q
1.-THE rolling Of oil his huge muscles,
cast lowering glance backward ct
the man.
The incident had taken all the help
fulness out of the day and the wilder
ness, and Sandry wendell his way slow
ly back to camp, arriving just in time
for supper. Siletz tended the table in
her usual silence. but when shs
aloof, as if fearing to break spell by
a word or touch. Once he looked up
at her. striving for recognition, but
she avoided his eyes and to save his
life he could not repress the wild
thrill that had betrayed him in the
hills, though he was conscious of an
ger flushing hot upon it. He suffered
very real humiliation in that he had
so far forgotten his training, his sense
of the fitness of things. as to kiss this
wild mountain creature. His ances-
trail blood rose up in condemnation.
The next few days were crowded
full to overlooking with work and he
laid aside all personal perplexities.
The first raft of logs, great cigar
shaped monster, laced together in all
its length and breadth with giant
chains, lay in the backwater at Toledo
ready for it's voyage into the world be-
yond.
A crew of river drivers was picked
from among the men and all was in
readiness save for draft of direc-
tions which was to be given, along
with the raft, into the custody of Cap
tain Graftz of the long dun-colored
steamer that would stand in across

gently, to the sides. It's building had
been thing of wonder to him. 1t

ends of the earth, and it's worth ran
well into five figures. He watched its
departure. an impressive matter of
sluggish rising with the tide, of al
most im2erceptible motion and then of
majestic speed that carried it west
ward toward the ocean. Then he
turned back to his logging camp with
heightened JOY in the new life.
That night he wrote to the white
haired gentleman who was then going
to bed under silken covers with the aid
of the faithful Higgins; and his letter
was long and brilliant. touched with
that cheer and hope. that light OF
awakening strength and ability which
was beginning to stir his heart to its
foundation.
"Ah!" said Mr.. Wilton Sandry when
ne got that letter, looking down on the
pageant of Riverside drive in it's win

son! The metal is beginning to ring. !"

two piles had been cut and pried side

for the same reason. 1t had been the
work of pure malice, that he saw at
glance.

Sandry was enjoying her succinct
precision of knowledge and express

And you've spent all these years in

There was note of genuine good
vice in the words and tone, and
sndry got sudden insight into sew
al little happenings that had puzzled
him-for instance. the emphasized
wearing of blue shirts in rain that
had soaked his oyercoat. and few
remarks about the fact that Oregon
rain didn't wet through
Thank you. Mrs. Daily" he said
earnestly with a sudden feeling of
friendship between him and this
shrewd. kindly old general of men
He turned presently to the girl

'4By the way" he said. IF you care

She nodded quietly. without flicker
of the pleased excitement he had ex-
pected in the light of her seeming pas
sionate love of the animal, but a slow,
dull flush spread upward in her dark
face and her fingers trembled a Bit he
fancied, on the reeds.
They trembled in all surety the next
morning. when, with bride of colored
and woven horsehair over her arm, she
entered the lean-to.
Black Bolt was a gentleman horn.

girl. There, on her lighter skin, tell
tale in it's truth of outline, was the be-
ginning of the same mark. broken in
its inception by some mysterious
hand.
For moment Sandry's head whirled
and sort of nausea came over him.
Then he became conscious of her dark
eyes, level and calm. upon his face and
thrill that sent the blood pounding
in his veins shot through him The
mighty trees around them, the eternal
majesty of the hills under the intimate
gray sky. the girl in her trim, sensible
attire of blue shirt. short skirt and
boots. with that sudden revelation Of
the wild about her, combined to sug-
gest the unreal. the mysterious. the
lawless; in flash he understood her
silences, her calm, her occasional
stilted modes of speech, and her
whimsicalities.
''Why-why-S'l etz!" he s.ammered,
following out the train of his illumined
thought, what are you? Who are
you? A star in the dusk! The night
vino IN the p1neS!
In the flush of the pregnant moment
he laid his hand on her bare arm un-
der the rolled-up sleeve-her soft arm,
wet with the mist-closing his fingers
strongly upon it. For the enchanted
present she was romance and mys-
terry, and Sandry was beneath it's spell
But Siletz looked from his face
down to the hand upon her arm. The
blood rose slowly in her dusky cheeks,
and when she raised her eyes again
they were dim with the same look of
intoxicatiOn as had come with the mad
ness Of. the rushing wind on Black

Z didn't. just heard the words in
my heart. They are right"
He did not remove his hand, and
silence fell between them while they
stood gazing into each others eyes.
Sandry saw the heavy look in hers, the
dull fire that bespoke very drunken
ness of emotion, and in another mo-
ment he had lost his head. Without
thought, as simply as the first runner
of those forests took what he wanted,
he leaned forward and kissed her.
softly. lightly. on her smooth cheek.
Her eyes darkened perceptibly and
she covered her face with her hands.
In sudden great embarrassment
Saudry stood silent beside her, his
heart pounding and his manhood al
ready upbraiding him. He searched
his clearing brain for some word of
apology, some contrite expression, but
found none. and the next moment
could not in any case have spoken 1t;
for Siletz lifted her face and it was
glorified. The intoxication had drifted
away from her features, leaving them
bare in the utter simplicity of the pri-
meval woman. and there was in them
white fire of self-surrender
