Canada's Giant Trees.

The 225-foot long spar of Doug
las fir, gift from British Columbia,
which is to be erected as Flagstaff
in Kew Gardens, in England, is typi-
cal of hundreds of similar pieces OF
timber which grow in the forests OF
western Canada. The Kew Gardens
Flagstaff, which was taken down ow-
ing to it's insecure condition in Deem
Der. 1913, and which was $50 feet
in length, also came from British
Columbia and carried the flag in, Kew

late Mr.. e. Stamp and was brought

Hestly, and they tell me that you

do to help?"
There was in her voice the simple
cry OF sympathy so intense that it
was anguish, and Sandry's lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable of sending
through him, TO take her into his arms
as he had done that day when she
beheld the sea. But tardy thought
OF Miss Ordway shut his hands upon
themselves and steadied his voice.
He put his hands upon her Shout

said, but his voice had fallen to a
whisper, whisper that was caress,
laden as heavily with wistful sadness
as whisper might be, "and don't fret

Without a word, obedient to him as
the primal woman ever is to man,
Siletz went away in the night toward
the cook-shack.

most brushed the garments of Poppy

hands shut in the folds of her gown.

For Poppy Ordway had heard the ca
ress of that lowered voice. The new
passion in her took fright, and furi-
Gus, choking rage sent the blood hot
upon her heart.
The next morning he found upon his
window-ledge handful of fern and a
spray OF tiny, yellow, waxlike flowers
that were beginning to show where
the little streams tore down the noun
tains. lining their rocky beds. He
took them in and put them away in a
drawer among his papers, silent voice
or a sympathy that was as delicate as
1t was strong.
That morning when Poppy Ordway
encountered Siletz the bright smile
she gave her covered a sudden hatred
that had sprung, full grown. from a
mans low whisper; and the bad times
that followed for the girl had their
inception then.

Rice of Covington, KY, the Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribune states.
I'm the year 1S60-61, when l taught
in the subscription school at Green
field, Ind, Riley was one Of my pupils,
and, although he was good student,
he never carried off the honors Of his
class.
His chief delight was to hide be-
hind some other pupil and compose
'jingles,' as he called them, and when
caught in the act always explained
that he had to write, as the verses
were always going through his mind.
Composition came natural to him
and he would stop in the midst OF a
task to jot down some little verse.
When he was about eighteen years old
he ran away with travelling medicine

but would stop work suddenly to

The Big Raft.

On the fourteenth of March the
'wheezy tug pulled the great, brown
bcigar-shaped monster that meant so
much TO Sandry and the fortunes of
the Dillingworth from its mornings
out to the narrow. deep neck of the
bay that would take it TO the sea.
Sandry for the first time in his life
felt the slow, sliding motion as the
great oval floor responded to the
screeching tug and the ebb tide.
On board with Sandry were Daily
and eight Indians. all armed and wait
ing for anything that might develop.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Hard Knock.


II was a sweet spring day, blue
arched and fitful-aired, with riot of
bird songs in the pines when the little
cavalcade bore Walter Sandry up the
vivid valley.
They took him up the slope and
into the office and held him while ST.
letz flew to the house for many more
blankets to pile high on the spring
cot, and presently they laid him, a
sadly broken thing, upon it. The color
had drained from the dark face of the
girl, and her hands, shut hard, hung
tensely in the folds of her skirt as
silence fell with the easing of the man
upon the bed.
Doctor" she said hoarsely; doc
tor" and could get no further.
The doctor had known her for the
several years he had been in the coun-
try and he studied her face moment
before answering.
"Close call, Sletz," he said gently;
maybe he'll live-maybe not"
For a moment she swayed upon her
feet, f1inging her hands across her
ewes. while her breath came in catch
ing gasps.
But God sits above the seal" she
cried at last, tragically. "Oh, Father,
spare him, for he is an unbeliever!"
At this tense moment Poppy Ord
way, who had been watching from the
BACKGROUND with parted lips and kim
ctr forward
'Doctor-Mrs. Daily" she said,
this terrible thing forces me to speak
of something which land Walter
also-had not intended to make known
at present. | am Mr.. Sanary's prom
jsed wife and as such | will take
charge of him."
All her life had this woman taken
chances, sharp chances, fraught with
swift danger and trying to nerve and
skill, but never had she done harder
thing than to face this little group OF
Westerners whose instinct matched
her art.
They turned upon her in thunder
stricken silence-the doctor with
clean amaze, the Indians in stoical
quiet, Ma Daily with an astonishment
that was only the forerunner of antag-
onistic reaction. But of them all IL
was the face of Siletz, fallen upon her
knees beside the cot, that shook the
heart in her, chilled her bold spirit.
1t lifted itself, painting, white and
awful. it's lips where the broken Sign
stood plainly out, fallen apart and col
orless. The dark eyes stared upon her
with an uncomprehending horror that
irritated her.
"1 know something of nursing and
wen do out best"
But here Siletz sprang up to her
slim height and her voice smote the
hushed room like the swapping OF
taut wire.

ground for the pallid girl in the rough
western garb. Miss Ordway smiled,
though hard brilliance came into her
face.
Perhaps" she said. HE has kissed
many 1t is the way of the outside
world"
She turned to the physician.
When do you think he will recover
consciousness? ?"
Her cool voice terminated the scene,
She was mistress of the hour.
With both hands extended before
her Siletz went blindly out into the
sunlight. She stood moment, her
breath coming and going in great
gasps, like that of a doe mortally
wounded, and in her eyes was no light.
Like the wounded doe, she fed to
the hills for sanctuary. Coosnah
swung into his pace behind her; and
presently, after an hours climb, they
reached the great fir stump on the
crest of the ridge. Here the girl flung
herself on her knees, gripping ner
braids in savage fingers, and for a wild
space something within her that she
had never known in all her life arose
and shook her. She had gone back
thousand years. Blind rage was upon
her-she wanted to fight as the pre-
historic female fought for her mate.
So she knelt and rocked in the lust
of fury while the little clouds sailed
in an azure sky and the hill streams
trickled to the valleys, and suddenly
a bird in a high pine top dropped
string of notes, clear. silvery, spar
king, for all the world like the dia-
mond notes of a flute and instantly she
covered under them, covering her eyes
in instructive guilt.

years an dark night to do it."
That first day drifted by very swift
ly, soft and sunny between showers.
and by four o'clock the ebb of the tide,
grown slower and slower, had ceased
altogether. Daily and the rest tied up
the raft, head and tail on both sides,
using heavy steel ropes and chains, to
which they gave plenty of slack. They
cooked supper ashore and Sandry
thought he had never tasted better
fare. Afterward they lay about the
fire all together, smoking, and only
the silence of the Siletz marked the
line of color. Triumph filled the heart
of the young financier and his last
drowsy thoughts were of the steamer
that was even now blowing down from
Portland to meet them, the huge check
that would follow his delivery of the
logs-how he would lift certain
mortgage of the load that hung upon
the Dillingworth, it's greatest menace
in point of time.
He walked to see the heavy chains
drawn taut, to hear the mass of tim
strained upstream, and knew that the
tide was in. The Siwash cook walked
the men by moonlight for breakfast.
They must be ready to take advantage
of the first motion toward the sea-
The casting loose, the slow start,
the moving of the night shores-San-
dry wished Miss Ordway might see
tit might be a bit of local color in
the mysterious book she was writing
in the little south room. His mind
went over that little room. He saw
the stand with the ancient Bible. He
shuddered a bit with the night chill
as he saw again the words, ooh, Abb
SALON.! My son, my son!"
Those were the last words that the
mind of the Fastener were to know
for many days. The nose of the raft
where he was standing suddenly rose
under him like thing of life. The
night opened, flame shot upward from
the dark waters, unreasonable sound
smote his eardrums to silence, pain
that was uncomfortable stretched and
tore his limbs. He sailed away into
night and the world was not.
When the thing was over John Daily
picked himself up from where he had
been blown clear of the raft and the
water. landing in tangle Of BURBERRY
vines, and screamed a curse at the
serene heavens.
"Oh. God damn his soul to hell" he
cried, half after the manner of a
prayer; hes blowed her up at last!"
In the awful silence that fell in the
first moments there set up a great
grooming of the timbers. The wrecked
and opened prov of the raft slowed
to the right, damned into the shore,
and was holding the rest, while the
strong tide urged 1t hard upon itself.
Above it Daily lifted his voice and
called his Indians, and there was an
guish in his heart.
"Koottah! Snamishta! Memmiloo!"
From here and there voices an
swered, some far, some near, and pres
emily figures crept fearfully into the
moonlight from the matted ferns, gath
ering about the foreman.
Here one dragged an injured ankle,
another stanched the blood from a

tween the Indians, and thinking bit
terly of Hampden, who was proving
himself dangerous enemy.
But he thought also of the steamer
blowing down from Portland, which
would stand in at Yaquina, and he
knew he would be ready to turn over
the raft in spite of all.
BE a damn hard matter to tow by
that head" he told himself; guess
we can drift her out an turn her tail
on"
Then he fell to wondering ii San
dry would ever know of the big check,
or If it would travel east with him to
the old man in the wheeled chair on
Riverside drive-mute evidence of the
tenderfoot's first and last fight!
