mounted the lifting rise of the cliffs,
and stood at the edge of a thin fringe
of stunted frs where Sandry tied the
horses. Siletz had slipped down at
once, and he noticed that she was
trembling In every limb.
She plunged ahead strongly and

"Gray!" she cried shrilly, 81 knew It!

To the left a steep path, cut by steps
in the sandy earth, led its p~erilous
way down to the beach. Turning
swiftly she dropped into it between
its walls and began leaping down.
"SIetz!" cried Sandry sharply, "be
careful"
Even as he spoke she lost her footing
and went headlong down the cliff, roll
ing over and over in the sliding sand,
to bring up fifteen feet below where
the path turned sidewise on a little
shelf. Without heed she gathered her
self, threw back her braids and rushed
on, leaping downward like a deer.
When Sandry reached her she was
ankle deep in the surf, gazing with all
her starved nature in her eyes. that

suddenly, through some rent in the
sodden sky, a beam OF light shot
through the mist, transferring it. It

reds and puppies of the sunset, but for
some reason beyond the minds of men,
the blue-gray mist caught up the light
and turned it into a wondrous bar of
crimson, edged with fairy gold. and 1t
lay out across the waters. a path to all

Sandry saw the look of 1ntoxication
creep into her eyes, the drunkenness
of emotion that dulled them drowsily.
Lines drew in her oval cheeks and
slowly her face broke into a look OF
anguish. She put up an arm and Gov

Illness, the sense of world's-end."
Young and of abundant health, abun-
dant vitality, filled with the urge OF
ambition, abetted by an unusual clev-
erness, Miss Ordway was indeed in the
way OF great things and she knew it.
Also with her clear vision she was be-
ginning to see something else that
added to the flush in her cheeks, some
thing as great as her goal of fame, and
she faced it with her high courage and
confidence.
This was the meaning to her of Wal.

About this time she began to widen
her range of vision, to see all over the
wild, green country. it seemed to her,
and to catch glimmerings Of things
that sent her to Sandry, so full of vital
precedence that she was as a charged
wire in her eagerness and her delight.
