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 she
reached him she was constrainedly
aloof, as if fearing to break a spell by
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
a 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
it's 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 d1rec
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
the bar at Newport on the twenty

Sandry thrilled with contemplation
of the great, reddish-brown floor
slightly raised in the center, sloping
gently to the sides. It's building had
been a thing of wonder to him. II
would in all probability scatter to the
ends Of the earth, and it's worth ran
we'll into five figures. He watched Its
departure, an impressive matter OF
sluggish rising with the tide, of al
most m2orceptible motion and then OF
majestic speed that carried 1t 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
he got that letter, looking down on the
pageant of Riverside drive in it's win
ter livery, what boy he is! What
son! The metal is beginning to ring.

and found a state of things sufficient
to raise the ire of any riverman or
timberjack.
Where the track approached the roll
way it had been torn up bodily, the
ties and rails thrown into the narrow
slough, as evidenced by a few pro-
jecting ends, and the rollway itself, a
slanting floor of logs some two feet
thick supported on a group of gradu'
ated piles, sagged in the center where
two piles had been cut and pried side
wise. The lower edge also dropped
for the same reason. 1t had been the
work of pure malice, that he saw at
a glance.

up in sullen group, get to work and
see if you can raise those sawed sup
ports and pry them back on their
bases"
The gang went slowly down the
sharp bank of the tidewater slough.
Johnny Eastern" said one softly
"all right, all right! Prize up roll
way! My Aunt Maria!"
Sandry stood near, realizing his linn
itations and raging helplessly, watch
ing them lazily testing and pushing
here and there.
Hadn't we better just spike 'em
on to the sides?" asked Collins, with
droll upward glance.
Sandry was about to reply when
John Daily slipped down from the track
beside him under the lee of the dam
aged rollway.

But what's the use? What do they

"They want to run us out of the
hills. Been at it for ten years. They're
just givin' you hint as the new
owner"
The repairing of the damaged roll
way was another revelation to the
easterner. New timbers were brought
down and the slanting floor was thick

The foreman looked at him inquir-
ingly.
THAT left bank of the slough up
there is in the form of ridge. Don't
you think we could set crew at 1t at
low tide and dig it through, turning
the water into the field yonder? That
would leave the slough empty here for
the time between high tides. Gould
you get the timbers out in a few
hours?"
Dailys experienced eye had already
taken in every detail of the possiblll-
ties as Sandry talked.
That's good scheme, Mr.. Sandry,'
he said slowly. Il believe it'll work. -
So it was that the first practical sug-
gestion of the new owner was set into
action.
The whole crew of the camp was
brought out of the hills and set to
work and the damaged rollway was re-
paired as good as new, the break in
the west bank filled. the slough run
ming full again and nothing to show
for the trouble but the flooded field of
tules.
Under Walter Sandry's cool de-
meanor there was a small glow OF

At supper time Siletz, moving be-
tween the tables, laughed to herself,
softly, and her dark eyes under the
little shadow of her parted hair held
a sparkling CLEAN as if she had seen
that conflict and enjoyed it,
"Siletz," said the owner, coming in
suddenly from the east porch after the
men had tramped heavily away to the
clubhouse, whom do you know out.
side this camp?"
She was alone in the big spotless
kitchen, her sleeves rolled up from her
arms, slim and brown with smooth
color that was of the suns giving.
Outside the camp?" she asked, turn
ing to him for moment, stopped in
some task of the aftermath of the
meal, "why-nobody."
Don't you ever go down to Toledo?'
Sandry was leaning in the doorway,
his bright blue eyes upon her.
Sometimes"
Have you no friends there? No
girl friends?"
She shook her head and he noticed
the clean profile, the shape of the
small pointed chin, the good forehead
conflicting with vague suggestion of
fleeting wild things in the velvety
eyes.
'Is there no one with whom you as
sociate outside the camp? Think"
Suddenly there passed over her fea-
lures quick change. He could liken
it to nothing but wind on the surface

Bible-of course"
With new interest he picked up
the quaint old book of Holy Writ and
let it fall open in his hands as it had
a way of doing.
Out from that marvellous song of an
inspired soul, the Psalms, there looked
his answer, as he was to know in an
other day, the truest answer that could
have been given to his question:
Who shall ascend into the hill of the
Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy
place? He that hath clean hands and a
pure heart; who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity. nor sworn deceitfully.
With an odd feeling of truth struck

CHAPTER V-Continued.

Sandry was enjoying her succinct
precision of knowledge and express
sion.
And you've spent all these years in
the midst of this wet-blanket eli
mater" he smiled, "How in the world
did you do it--and keep your cheer
fuiness?"
Son." said Ma Daily kindly, you
can knock the country to me. but
dent you go doin' it where the men'il
hear you. Us web-feet are used to
the rain, but we don't like to hear the
Fasteners talk about it. It's chip
on every Oregonian's shoulder. You
don't want to queer yourself"
There was a note Of genuine good
advice in the words and tone, and
Sandry got a 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 a 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 lampiight, her black head
shining shadow over her eyes.
by the way" he said. IF you care
to you may ride Black Bolt whenever
you wish"
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 slow,
dull flush spread upward in her dark
face and her fingers trembled 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 born.
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 a
cat springs, with little soft alighting,
and they were gone, down over the
smooth slope of the valley toward the
lower rollway
There were two interested specta-
tors to that splendid fight-Ma Daily

did you like it," Sandry asked her
amusedly that evening as he passed
through the eating room.
YES" said Silctz with her belying
quietness.
II believe I've found a study" he
said to himself as he went on, "a
worthy study in human nature"
And Siletz had found new heaven
and new earth. Something wild with
in her that had ever moved restlessly
broke forth. glorious flower of &C.
stasy. Day by day thereafter she
loosed Black Bolt and sped into fields
of Elysium, lost to earth. Intoxicated,
mad with the rush of wind and rain.
Always when she came back there
was the dusky flush in her face, the
sleepy look of intoxication in her eyes.
Thus winter closed in on the lonely
camp in the mountains, blue black and
gray with mist and rain and vivid
green with the new grass Of the coast
country.

NEW INVENTION DOES
AWAY WITH SMELLING

Col. James fleming, Of Globe, Ariz.,
has received information from Wash.
tngton that a patent has been granted
him by the United States patent office
on his invention Of a device or ma.
chine for extracting valuable minerals
such as gold, silver and copper, from
the ores by what is called the wet
process. or reversing natures infltra.
ton deposit process, says the Copper
Era.
For hundreds o; years 1t has been
said by the best m~etallurgists that
some day a practical and economical
discovery would be made doing away
with the expensive and unnatural prac-
dce OF smelling. Possibly $500, 900
per year for the past twenty years has
been expended over the world trying
to make perfect and practical this pro.
cess of extraction.
MIR. Fleming's discovery Che Is sole
owner of the patent) is the result of
his seventeen years and more of prac.
tical experiments and tests, employ
ing the best talent In the land to as.
sist him, with an expenditure Of pos.
sibly $250,000 In cash. The process,
like all other valuable discoveries, is
very simple and cheap in installation,
uses no ore tanks or vats--does not
ever use a shovel. The process is
practically continuous, fast working,
and the ore is held in captivity until
the last trace Of the valuable min
eral Ia extracted.
He has what is called a basic pat
emit Of original discovery claim. all Of
which cannot and will not be disputed
by any person who has any knowledge
OF the business coming from actual
experimental practiccs Or from general
study e accomplish perfect results.
Colonel Fleming Is a lineal descend
ant of William Fleming, many years
ago professor OF metallurgy at Edin-
burgh university, Scotland, who wrote
many books on metal extraction and
refining, and with books were OF
much help in working up to this dis
covery.

LEADER OF HOBO
ARMY DIDN'T PAY

Everybody remembers Gen. Coxey
of '94 hobo army fame; the man who
lead a multitude to the white house
only to have the hose turned on them
when they disobeyed the keep of the
grass" sign. The general fioated into
Fallon on tho crest Of the mining
boom In 1905 and later sought easy
money by mining exploitation In the
Fairview district. Now 1t is written
that the general didn't travel as far
in the mining venture as he did AT
the head Of a lousy contingent Of
some thousands Of unwashed bodies
containing as many expurgated souls,
for after making his investments In
the Fairyiew district he allowed his
mining paraphernalia to be sold for
taxes. The title thereto reverted auto
matically to the county and now 1t is
to be sold at private auction to the
highest bidder for gold coin. 1t must
seem that General Coxey's halcyon
days are over, inasmuch as he could
not make o Churchill county mine
pay--Standard.
