CHAPTER XXI.
The Blessed Rain.


At camp at the upper rollway John
Daily was searching wildly in the
crowds of silent. exhausted men for
trace of Sandry, of Siletz and of Miss
Ordway.
His face was CHASTITY, for love tore
at his heart with double force.
Ma Daily had not seen him for two
days and when she met him she said
straightly:
''S'letz went into tn fire, son. after
Sandry. That was hours ago. An
tn Jezebel woman went. too"
That was the hardest knock of the
big mans life and he came near not
taking 1t standing. He staggered as
from blow and looked away to the
inferno they had left at the north
the great dun canopy that covered the
sky.
Then he started on a wavering run
among the men. calling for volunteers.

Behold the Hog Back running out
from the jumbled peaks. a blade be-

Cod I'm choking! can't breathe!
Save mel Save mo, Hampden! You
great brute. can't you do something?''
In her wildness she turned and struck
the man behind her and she never
knew that her beautiful hand was red
with the blood of his wound.
AS Hampden looked into her face,
distorted like maniacs, his hard
eyes softened. He knew how slim the
odds that they would beat the flames
to the foot of the trail Also he knew
in that moment that they would never
make it,
Yes" he said. swiftly. there is

horse. With heavy hands he seized
the skirt of the woman's gown and
ripped it from her tearing it into

But Poppy Ordway shook his hand
