 ] pull down the cabin. Sandry compares Siletz and Poppy.
 Mrs. Daily" he said suddenly. what is S1etz?'
 The old lady turned on him quickly the piercing glance of her sharp eyes.
 Just girl" she said suecinctly.
 She turned to her realm and Sandry rose and went out in the mist. He climbed steadily with something of the 1oggers movement. This much he had learned along with thousand other things of the free life, and yet he was a noyice-Johnny Eastern still
 He was thinking deeply as he climbed, lost in the majestic silence of the hushed pines with the stilling car pet of needles at their feet, and it was some time after the first sounds from ahead had come to him dimly that he wakened to the loud voices of men in quarrel. As he broke through the wall of dripping waist-high fern he came full upon a sight that stirred his blood. and fired his wrath, in spite of his ef-
 
 cutting stood Hampden, his face red with fury, his eyes snapping. his dou- bled fists shaking at Daily who front ed him. Behind the two the men were grouped In menacing punches. They were huge fellows, every one of them, as if they had been picked purposely, bare-armed, n-throated. wet with the constantly falling, soft mist.
 Those of Hampden were armed with bikes and peavies to man-and these are deadly weapons. Daily's crew car ried axes and several had cant hooks
 'I told your Johnny Eastern to stay off this here land!" cried the owner of the Yellow Pines, his voice running up on the last word in a squeak of rage, "an I'll see t he does. An you an your river hogs that you pass as loggers! Rotten outfit, ye are, You'll git off an stay off, This land belongs to me by right of good money paid an you tore down O'Connel's home steaders cabin That's ag'in the law!"
 He thrust out his heavy face belliger- ently, inviting insult, first movement of violence. 1t came, not from Daily, the easy-going, tactful foreman, who had righted many toppling crises, but from Jim Unworthy, the curly-headed young scapegrace who was the worri- ment and favorite of Ma Daily. He flung himself forward with a whoop.
 Rotten are we! Live clean to tn hearti''
 And with lightning pass he slapped Hampden square in the face, leaping backward like a cat. In flash the the silent woods rang with conflict that was a delight to every heart in the mixup, with the exception, perhaps of Hampden, who was too small and mean of nature to love anything for it's own sake.
 Sandry on the outskirts beheh it with consternation.
 Daily" he cried at the top of his voice, Stop 1t, Call them off! John Daily!"
 But he caught glimpse of his fore mans face and it was alight with a rol- licking laugh and his great hands, doubled into slugs, were pounding into the melee like pistons. Here and there a face ran blood and one blue shoulder, showing up for minute, gaped like open lips. It had been ripped to the bone by pike point. and it belonged to Collins, the insolent giant. Suddenly Sandry felt himself helpless and small. a reed before flood, and he was filled with wonder at the force of these untamed dwell- CTS of the wilderness. He had seen men fight before, but never like this, in such deadly enmity, with such glo- rious disregard of consequences. They had leaped together facing cant hook and peavey as if they went to pillow fight, and there was a laughter of rage
