are sad. What can ! do-oh, what can
do to help?'
There was in her voice the simple
cry OF a sympathy so intense that it
was anguish, and Sandry's lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For a heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she vas ever capable Of sending

Without a word, obedient to him as

your eagerness, your inherent strength
and your losing battle! Did you not
know that you were as fire to me?"
She slipped off the log and stood be-
fore him, her hands clasped across her
breast and all her magnificent beauty
a lure in the spring dusk.
"Ah!" she laughed recklessly, you
have set me flaming, like a line Of fire
at night! And | care nothing that |
tell you-there is no law for a gen
ius!"
And, turning swiftly, she went down
the slope, away from him. leaving him
as she had done once before with his
head whirling under the spell of her
beauty and her daring. But this time
she had left far more, for within him
there surged and rioted emotions that
defied control-joy and triumph and
savage desire to ever scores with the
man who had so cruelty pressed him,
relief at the prospect of saving SO cas-
lily his East Belt and his future; and,
bursting through the rest, the Jingle
of her words, the amazed comprehen-
sion of them.
The days that followed were hard
ones for the young owner of the Dill
lingworth. He did not see that he had
taken the silent little girl of the hills,
and that the dominant, clever woman
of the world had taken him. Yet such

With a splendid tact Miss Ordway
kept away from him, presenting at
such times as they CHANGED to meet
a serene poise that was as charming
as her abandon had been that night
by the rollway. On the other hand,
Siletz watched him with troubled eyes.
There was hat in features and voice
that frightened her, as a loving woman
is ever frightened when trouble rides
the shoulder of the beloved.
Therefore one night soon after San
dry's talk with Miss Ordway, Siletz
followed him as he went to the office
after supper. 1t was a black night,
and Sandry was not aware OF her pres
ence until a touch fell on his shout
der, almost as light and soft as that
Of the mist upon his. face.
"Sandry," said Siletz.
He turned swiftly and all the vex-
atious ache of his heart seemed to cul-
inmate suddenly in a desire to take
her in his arms.
YES? he said, yielding to the in
fiuence Of the misty darkness and the
nearness Of this girl who typified the
wild so alluringly, "the Night Wind
breathes upon my heart. Why is 1t.
Little Sletz?"
"Why-why," stammered Siletz, Il
hardly know. Yet-there is some
thing"
She fell silent a moment standing
beside him.

soul ~Sandry." she said at last. ear

heater, then still using rotary heater, grad
ually add sugar, then work in the mashed
potato with a spoon and alternately add milk
and -four mixture. Make a soft dough, roll
into a sheet, cut into rounds, pinch a hole in
the center with the finger and fry in deep fat.
Fat for frying should not be hot enough
to brown the doughnut until it has risen.
When the ~doughnut is dropped into the fat

up il should be turned and turned a number
