The blue eyes were tragic in their
puzzled wonder, their shining joy, and
the voice was desperately earnest.
For a moment Siletz checked her
anguish and strove to understand.
Then something. some divine instinct,
seemed to give her wisdom and she
smiled TREMENDOUSLY.

There was a pathetic, eager justiti-

others, all aware that they witnessed
the last act in some forgotten tragedy
of the Preachers life, stood in silence,
unconscious of the darkening smoke

showed like a rock under waves in
eyes and voice and manner, land I'll

They spoke no more. Siletz checked

utirrups and looked over the appalling
spectacle before them. Over and be-
yond lay the tumbled hills, thick with
heavy timber, that ran into the Siletz
basin. Somewhere in their Businesses

SiletZ shuddered as she looked upon
the world Of fame and smoke. To
