But Poppy Ordway, who was bend

denly erect. Her cheeks were flushed,

Me Daily, that shrewd old general

every small thing in the hushed room,
set down the broth and turned away,
her whole kindly heart filed with JUS
picion.
Outside in the darkness Siletz stood
a little later and looked through the
open window at the figure on the
white cot, and the watcher beside 1t.
Her hands were clasped tightly to-
gether and her dark eyes were heavy
with unshed tears.
"If he-dies," she gasped dryly be-

But Sandry did not die. For a week
he travelled on strange paths of MEM

the cleaning of a far land, standing
aside to watch Naomi send back the
ones she loved, and sometimes crying
out sharply, "Oh, Absalom! My son,

and spoke of lost faith in men.

"say '~sandry'i"

"Say 'Sandry'I"
Calmly Poppy Ordway took charge
of the stricken man in the pine Of
fee. All of the day and as much of
the night as her strength would per-
NIT she was beside him, soothing his
restlessness, tending him with a
skill that showed intelligent training.
Outwardly she was as quiet as the
spring days. Inward1y she painted and
suffered with the abandon of the pas
sionate nature which sees its desires
in danger. More and more she grew
to fear and hate the silent, soft-footed
girl whose face between its dark
braids was a mask of tragedy. With
her woman's instinct and her almost
unnatural cleverness she knew that
way lay danger. Selishly, in self
centered passion. this woman loved,
and tt gain the object of that love she
felt within her heart that she could
wreck the universe. And it's object
was in twofold danger-from Sandry's
death and from Siletz.
Therefore she began to watch Siletz
with catlike glances from under her
iashes, and to think with all her bril-
liant brain Of some way to eliminate
her from the question, of some bond
stronger than her work with Hamp-
den to bind herself into Sandry's life,

As for Sandry himself, he was far
on that road which has nc turning.

Ing, eager, ~high-souled boy again, and
the oma beside him saw clearly into
the clean depths of his life.
But on the second day of his de-
Ilirium something seemed to fall upon
him from the past that drew a line of
trouble around his lips and set some
great, hard question in the hot, blue
eyes. For long intervals he lay silent,
as If the tired mind were turning and
returning some important thing, to
break out suddenly in excited speech.

CHAPTER XIX.
A Lie and a Theft.

Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-THE strength were powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the pIas-
ter casts knitted busily. With his re-
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. She gave up
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend a part of her days
in the little o This had been San
dry's urgent request.
"See what you've lost already in
time and strength and energy he
pleaded, please go to your own work.
On M Of the first days of Ma
Daily's attendance, he asked to see
Siletz.
The general was wise and she Sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step that
always reminded him of wild things in
the forest-so slipping, soft and
hushed was it.
Presently he heard it coming down
the slope. It slowed as it neared the
Office and for a long time stopped al
together outside the door. His heart
leaped uncontrollably and conflicting
emotions flushed his face as he called
her softly.
Come here, S'1etz," he heard him
self saying, though for his life it was
not what he wished to say, and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him, ciasping her hands on the sheet
at his side. There was nothing of the
conscious avowal of Poppy's words IN
her look and attitude, only the simple
betrayal of a nature as open as the
day. The shining light of joy in her
face, the hushed acknowledgment of
Gods sparing of his life, was all-sufh-
cient. In a flash he heard the words
of Kolawmie's half-breed:
for S1etz is your woman"
And he knew they were true. By
every sign Of her soul and body they
were true. as simply as the flower wor-
ships the sun all day. And there in
the little south room, from whose open
window he could hear the click of a
typewriter, was the most brilliant
woman of his own world whom he had
ever known. a woman soon to be ia
nous for her great gift and her mar
velous beauty-and she, too, by her
open word was Ibis woman!"

She did not go near the man in the
office. Instead she rode afar on Black
Bolt. Hour upon hour she spent on
the ridges, sitting with her knees
clasped in her arms and her suffering
eyes sweeping the dropping hills. Not
for a moment did she doubt Sandry.
He had kissed her. That was suf1-
cient. She was his woman. With the
voicing of the fact that night in Ko-
lawmie's house it had come to be q
part of her daily thoughts. Only with
1t there had come a mighty yearning
for perfection. What would Sandry
have her do or be? That would she
do and be. To Black Bolt and Coos
nah she took her trouble, faithful low
ers who nudged her breast with a soft
nose, licked her hand and watched her
with wistful eyes,.
So the camp went forward. John
and his silent crew cut steadily into
the timber at the north and sent the
logs down to the backwater. Here he
kept a guard, for although there was
nothing of importance that Hampden
could do since he had played for the
Dillingworth contract and failed, still
he could steal the logs which lay all
too close to the mill at the mouth of
the slough-and John Daily was strung
to a higher pitch than he had ever
been In all his lifelong timber war
with the Yellow Pines.
AS soon as Sandry was able to bear
it, Daily told him of the safe delivery
of the raft, of his trip home in the
Indians sling, of his subsequent de-
lirium, and at last showed him the
big check. At sight of the paper,
sweated and creased from pocket-wear,
the sick mans face flushed and his
eyes sparkled with blue fame.
1--WE won, john" he said, I'VE all
won-you, l, Miss Ordway and.
S'1etz."
There was a little pause before the
last word and then he went ON.
81 var to shake hands with US all
when I'm able. We're a winning
bunch"
AS soon as Daily had gone Poppy
Ordway leaned so close that the subtle
perfume of her garments intoxicated
him strangely, and said exultantly.
And now for Hampden, Walter
I'm ready to go after him right"
Sandry looked up at her from his
pillow and then out along the spring
tinted hills, and drew his brows to-
gether in thought.
Presently he spoke.
you've been SO good to mel can't
say how good, how much you have
stood for to me here-but-but, if you
please, Miss Ordway-Poppy, my
friend-I'd rather you'd let Hampden
alone"
whats" cried Poppy aloud, while
all her instincts were clamoring for
adjustment. What do you mean,
Walter Sandry?"
Cant you see you clever woman,
that l must get Hampden myself?
That this score must be settled first
hand?"
And Ma Daily, coming softly along
the grass to the door, heard the words.
"Knowed it," she said with a sharp
satisfaction. he's a man AM / knowed
it from tn start"

Ma Daily when she could no longer
command her overtaxed strength.
One night she refused to leave San
dry at all, firmly Diminishing Ma, who
ragged inwardly but was no match for
her in the open ways of bluff. At mid
night the owner Of the Dillingworth
suddenly opened his eyes, weak and
tired, but sane. He saw, on the dim
background of faint light from a shad-
ed candle, the TRANSPORTED face of
the watcher, and with a feeble smile
of utter content dropped back to OBJ
livion-this time the oblivion of heal
ing sleep.
With that look, that weak smile, the
woman knew that he had turned his
face toward life and would journey
back to it, and the surge and sway
of passionate joy rocked her soul in
q storm of emotion.
She stepped lightly and restlessly
about. Strengthening a cloth on a table,
tipping the candle shade at a better
angle, for she felt i~mperatively the
need of action. She picked up an
empty pitcher and in the starlit dark
ness went up the path to the cook
shack, still with tlat bounding, light
step OF victory, and entered the porch
where the pump stood.
There, alone in the night, leaning
against a post of the porch, a slim
little figure kept also a midnight vigil.
The woman looked at her and all the
danger that lay that way arose sud
denly before her, rousing her hatred
swiftly, and something ugly and cat
like prompted her to strike.
She laughed, a little, low, musical
laugh, and spoke in a caressing tone.
Congratulate me-" she said softly,
"the fever has left him. I'll have him
up before the first flowers bloom in the
valleys. Dear boy-dear Waltz"
Siletz, a moment before dropping,
whirled upon her like a fury. Even
in the dusk Miss Ordway saw the hid
den fire leap up uncovered in her eyes
and heard primal danger whimper in
her voice.
WALTZ" she cried, springing toward
her and lifting a hand whose slim fin
gers threatened her throat, SAY San
dry!"
Miss Ordway in her b~roadcloth
sprang back against the rough planks
of the c~ook-shack wall, her face gone
white in the shadows and sudden, grip.
ping, choking fear in her throat. She
put up a useless hand-a trembling
hand, palm outward-and strove to
speak-once, twice.
Then, "Sandry," she faltered like a
craven. She was whipped, scared, her
power gone.
But the wild thing died in Siletz as
1t had lived, on the turn of a moment,
and she let out a great breath and
covered her face with her hands after
q fashion she had.
