the lower rollway group OF loggers
came stalking in their spiked boots.
Behind them Murphy rocked excitedly
along in the tiny locomotive
Sandry shut his ledger and stepped
outdoors
What's the matter, Collins?" he
asked of huge man in the lead a
perfect type of the logger of the great

cled, wiry of figure and with the en-
durance and power of a bull elephant
Matter enough. Them damned
Yella Pines's sawed five piles in tn
rollway an tore up two lengths Of
track"
Sandry went ahead down the track
and found 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 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.
Collins" he said as the men came
up in a 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 a 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 EN-
on to the sides?" asked Collins, with a
droll upward glance.
Sandry was about to reply when
John Daily slipped down from the track
beside him under the lee of the dam.

CHAPTER VII.
Niuht Wind.

From that time forth Sandry began
to take keener interest in Siletz. For
one thing, he noticed that everyone
called her S'letz, 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 a 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 Dailys 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.

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,
mate?" he smiled, "How in the world
did you do it-and keep your cheer

Son" said Ma Daily kindly, you
can knock the country to me, but

Fasteners talk about it, It's a chip

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 rain that
mad 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
shrHwd, kindly old general Of men.
He turned presently to the girl
busy in the lampiight, her black head
shining a shadow over her eyes.
"By the way" he said. IF you care

She nodded quietly, without flicker
of the pleased excitement he had eX

face and her fingers trembled bit, he

Trouble With the Yellow Pines

Trouble With the Yellow Pines.
Walter Sandry sat in the office at
the slough's edge busy with file and
ledger. Two months had passed and
something had lifted from him in
these two months; weight had light
ened. Where had been huge dis
gust, almost intolerable in its In
tensity, for this rain-soaked land there
had crept in an insidious admiration.
Often now he looked down the green
little valley sharply defined between
its binding hills and felt the subtle
charm of the intimate shadows, the
near white dusk and the great trees
under whose dropping feathery boughs
there lay silence and a sense of ref
uge.
Suddenly there came to him a clam

tones of strong men in anger Up from

the fit of blues. Failing that, he decid-
ed to walk it off, and struck up the wet
green valley to the north.
Almost Immediately the tumbling
hills closed in upoH him and he found
himself in a wilderness of towering
frs of dripping vine naples and mys-
FERROUS paths lost in the crowding
ferns, He was standing at rest in d
small glade carpeted with pine nee
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,
clad in brilliant flannel, towering
pyramid of baskets slung to one shout.

For moment Sandry's head whirled
and a sort of nausea came over him
Then he became conscious of her dark
eyes, level and calm, upon his face and
a thrill that sent the blood pounding
in his veins shot through him The

majesty of the hills under the intimate

The other two members of this
group of women, Mrs. Carrie E. Kent
and Mrs. Helen R. Tindall, have both
been intimately associated with the
suffrage movement in the District of
Columbia for years. For twenty years
Mrs. Kent has been an officer of the
State Association, first as president,
then treasurer. But long before that,
ever since she first came to Washing
ton nearly forty years ago, she was
working for suffrage. She has known
and entertained in her home Susan
B. Anthony and the other old suffrage
leaders who make annual pilgrimages
to Washington. Her husband was
pastor of the Universalist church, and
many times both Miss Anthony and
DR.. Shaw have occupied his pulpit.
Mrs. Tindall has managed the local
end of many National Suffrage Con-
ventions. Her friends say of her that
she accomplished wonders of diplo-
macy in the days when suffrage was
not so popular as it is now.

SOUTHERN WOMAN IS A NATIONAL LEADER

A southern woman who believes
that the South is ripe for suffrage"
was one of the chief speakers at the
annual convention of the Equal Stuff
rage League of South Carolina, which
took place in Columbia, October 18th
and 9th.
She is Mrs. Nellie Nugent Somer-
vile of Greenville, Mississippi, second
vice-president Of the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage Association,
and the main representative on the
National Board of ''The New South"
Mrs. Somerville comes from an old
Mississippi family. Her father, Col.
w. L. Nugent, commanded one of the
first regiments raised in that state,
and after the war enjoyed q long and
honorable career at the Mississippi
bar. Like many southern leaders of
thought, Colonel Nugent was mix
ture of conservatism and iberality.
He was strict Methodist and tee
totaler, but on the woman question
he took a broad and advanced posi-
ton. He believed in the higher edu-
cation of women and used to tell his
daughter that "a woman should be
allowed to do anything she wants to
do and can do" He sent his daughter
through one Of the leading colleges
for women in Mississippi, and strong
ly urged her to think all questions out
for herself.
For many years during her early
married life and the rearing of her
four children, Mrs. Somerville occu-
pied herself with church work. She
was identified with the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and
with the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. This work, while appealing
to her very strongly, led her by an
memorable logic to the conviction that
southern women needed the ballot to
solve the problems which confront
them. She was the first president of
the Mississippi State Woman Stuff
rage Association, and was instru-
mental in introducing the first bill in
| the Mississippi legislature.
Mrs. Sommerville, it is said, rather
staggered the members of the Ma
tional Board of the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association 6

that "the South would beat the East
| in enfranchising its women.

men," she declared, "don't understand
