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-

or mother; they begged to be put In

NIGHT Wind.


From that time forth Sandry began
to take keener interest in Siletz. For
one thing, he noticed that everyone
called her S1etz, with a soft slurring
of the first syllable, and he found him
self using the name which he thought
particularly beautiful. 1t was the
name Of the reservation to the north
and of q 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 at Of blues. Failing that, he decid-
ed to walk 1t on, ind struck up the wet
green valley to the north.
Almost Immediately the tumbling

himself in q wilderness OF towering

a thrill that sent the blood pounding

whimsicalities.
"Why-why-S'le he stammered,

In the flush of the pregnant moment
he laid his hand on her bare arm UNI
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 its 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

He did not remove his hand. and

stood gazing into each others eyes.
Sandry saw the heavy look In hers, the
dull fire that bespoke a 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.

Her eyes darkened perceptibly and
she covered her face with her hands.
In a 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 it;
for Siletz lifted her face and 1t was
glori1ed. The intoxication had drifted
away from her features, leaving them
bare in the utter simplicity of the pri-
mevsl woman. and there was in them
a white fire Of self-surrender.
Without a woodland Sandry knew
instinctively that she could not speak

reins over his head, crouched beside
him on q little lift of moss and leaped
upward. He watched her land on the

There was a note of genuine good
advice in the words and tone, and
Sandry got sudden insight into sew
eral little happenings that had puzzled
him-for instance, the emphasized
wearing of blue shirts in a rain that
had soaked his overcoat, 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,
busy in the lamplight, her black head
shining, a shadow over her eyes.

Though he was wild as the girl for
the free air, the green slopes and the
yielding sod under his feet, he stood
still while she came up lightly, as q

smooth slope of the valley toward the
