cold. A thick white fog struck him In
the face with an almost palpable
touch. 1t lay close to the earth. a
sluggish monster spread down in the
valleys as if for warmth. Through
its enshrouding whiteness lantern
cleaned family across the slough.
Already the little locomotive was
getting up steam and the donkey
showed red throat for an instant as
Mcdonald showed in more wood.
From ahead came shouts and a
laugh or two as the men struggled up
to the rollway.
There were five cabins set around
on the edge of the small, sloping
mountain meadow which gave back
ground for Daily's camp; and in all
the windows lights were cleaning In
one cabin a door opened and a man
came out, stopping a moment on the
sill to reach up and kiss a woman,
who stood silhouetted against the
light, when the door closed and San
dry could not see the man, though he
could hear his footsteps. The fore.
man swung ahead in the path.
"They's a foot-log here" he said.
Underwater slough. 'Tain't deep"
They stopped at the foot Of the
ridge where the donkey, the rollway
and the track terminal huddled
against the bold uplift. and Daily in
troduced him to Hastings and Murphy.
the latter of whom hung out Of the
window of his diminutive cab and
peered at the stranger out of laugh
ing eyes whose forbears had twinkled
on Donegal's blue bay and Erin's red
checked daughters with impartial joy
"Ah, Misther Dillingworth," he said
heartily, IAN phat dye t'ink av the
West Coast now?"
''Sandry, Murphy" caught up Daily
easily, yet with a warning note.
"Shure! Sandry tbs! Excuse me,
Misther Sandry, but amt tn scenery
foine?"
What I've seen. yes, Murphy" an
swered Sandry after slight pause
AS he turned after Daily the Irishman
stuck his tongue in the corner of his
lips and drummed a minute on the
sill, the broad smile lessening on his
reckless face.
"An' phat dye know about thot?"
he asked retrospectively of the fog.

LEARN WAY TO MAKE LIVING
Good Advice for All Women Was
That rendered at Woman's Club
at Pittsburgh.

A woman of wealth. but who is new
ertheless identified with civic work
and is practicing lawyer, lately gave
talk before a Pittsburgh mothers
club Here is a part of what she
said:
There is one question to which
every woman ought to be able to an
swer Yes. 1t is this: Can you earn
living if you should need to do?"
If there is one lesson more than an
other that has been emphasized IN re-
cent years it is that the unframed
suffer most when pinch comes. An
other lesson that is most sufficiently
understood is that there Is practlcai-
ly no security in fortune.
Be prepared. is advice for woman
as well as for nation. Train your
daughters, you mothers. to something
that will pay a return sufficient at
least for a livelihood. 1t can do no
harm, and it may mean just the diff
ference between happiness and misery
in later life.
There is nothing more pathetic than
the sight of some unfortunate woman,
brought up to a competency and ut
terly unprepared to support herself
who has been suddenly reduced 70
poverty. We all know some SUCH
woman. Pottering along at things
that are of no real use, at work given
by plying friends or strangers, more
or less dazed by contact with world
that is foreign to her, sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings and
more desperate makeshifts, she at last
disappears. sucked under in the maei-
strom she has neither the strength nor
the training to resist.
Surely you don't want to run even
the faintest chance of becoming sucn
a derelict. you don't want your daugh-
tiers to run any such risk. So be pre-
pared. Be fit for something, trained
to something, ready to take hold II
you must. Know at least one thing
so well that people will be glad to
pay you for doing it. Be able to say
Yes If the world should ask you IL
you can return fair value for living.
It is the surest of human safeguards.

CHAPTER III.
The Woadrous Hills at Dawn.

The Woldrous Hills at Dawn.
He was awakened next morning by
the thunder of heavily shod men storm
ing in from the clubhouse. The smell
of cooking was in the air and the
crack under his door showed lamp
light.
The rain was still dripping softly
from the caves. AS Sandry came into
the eating room the old woman of the
kitchen was looking over the crowd
of men as impersonally as he himself
had done the night before, with a
poise as assured and a subtle force as
strongly indicated.
Her bright, old eyes, blue as his
own, met his lifted glance as he hest
tated.
"Set down in the place you had last
night, Mr.. Sandry," she said In rich
voice, "it's yours now. John'n move
down a notch"
She went back into the mysterious
region of pies and doughnuts, and
Sandry was conscious of slight feel
ing of wonder. He was already taken
in as one of the family in subtle
way. and 1t did not quite suit him to
be so. II he missed certain lifelong
attributes of service and surrounding,
If he took his place among these
rough men with an inward tremor OF
rebellion, he made no sign.
Again the girl he had met on the
farther side of the mountain tended
in silence, a trifie more aloof. she
was clad in the same sort Of blue fan
mel shirt the men wore, with red
tie under the rundown collar and
rather short blue skirt showing her
feet laced trinity into miniature boots.
The latter were even full of small
steel caulks.
It was still dark when the loggers
trooped out into the fine rain.
John Daily came to him.
Nov, what would you like, Mr.. San
dry?" he asked. Twill you come into
the hills with Us, or would you rather
rest around camp? You come long
ways, guess"
Eyes. From New York"

"Oh. yes. I got letter from Mr.

Outside 1t was fresh and slightly

But not even the Importance of the
arrival of the DilIingworth Lumber
company could keep silent this bunch
OF men from the ends of the earth.
They were free lances. following
wherever fancy and the lumber camps
led them through the mountains and
the big woods, contented in this place
or moving on, bound by no rules. as in
dependent and unholdable as the very
birds of the air.
In three minutes the laughter was
sweeping gustily again. accompanied
by the solid clink of cook-shack dishes,
the clatter of knives for the most part
used as very adequate shovels, and
Walter Sandry was forgotten or
passed over.
An hour later he stood alone in the
middle of tiny room at the south
of the building, looking fixedly at the
yellow f1alns of glass hand-lamp on
a stand Under the lamp was woolly
mat of bright red yarn, a wonderful
creation-under that thin, white
scarf, beautifully clean, the -ironed
creases standing out stiff1y. Beside
the lamp lay pink-lipped conch shell
and Bible.
Sandry looked longest at the Bible
beside the lamp and presently he took
it up curiously, lingering it with quiz
zical, weary smile,
Its edges were thin and frayed and
he noticed that 1t was greatly worn.
Walter Sandry smiled and glanced
at random through the book.

saved it from rolling down the noun

ing against the declivity, shook itself
vigorously, drew a good, long breath
and turned its soft nose to investigate
the girl. With little gurgling cry
her hands went out again to caress
1t, hungrily, forgetful of the man, her
face alight with the Joy of it's escape
from injury. She smiled and passed
her hands along the high neck, over
the shoulder, down to the knee, bend
ing to finger with deft swiftness the
fetlock and pastern.
When she looked up again she
smiled at the man frankly, her anger
gone
He's all right, but you want to give
him the rein. He knows how to go
up all right. All Oregon horses can
climb if you give them their time and

He slipped the bride over his arm
I'm looking for Daily's lumber

there and how near / am?"
It's right over the ridge. You'll

gray hat perfunctorily and turned VI

He took the ascent straight, with q
certain grimness of purpose. Soon he
felt slight pull on the reins toward
the left which slackened Immediately
to repeat itself to the right The black
was trying to zigzag in the narrow
play of the combining bride. After an
interval that tried him severely in
muscle and breath the stranger
reached the sharp crest of the ridge
Below him lay the valley. the wind
ing slough, the yellow huddle of the
camp, the toy railway, with it's tiny
engine, the donkey whose putting rose
in a white spiral, the rollways and
the huge log trail winding up the
other slope like a giant serpent. Even
as he looked there came the staccato
toots of the whistle-bob whose invis-
ible line crept away into the hills
above the cables, the engine got down
to work with a volley of coughs. the
spools screamed and the great steel
rope lifted heavily along the trail.
Presently long, gray shape, ghost
ly and sinister. came creeping over the
lower ridge, gliding down the face of
the hills, silent, relentless, veritable
thing of life. He leaned forward.

rollway, halt little while the antlike
men darted here and there, and then
roll sidewise into position against the
stays.
When the small play of the woods
was over. just as he started down he
glanced involuntarily back along the
way he had come.
The girl still stood by the bowlder
looking up, her face illumined by that

David and the words of that ancient
father-heart stared up at him. "Oh,
Absalom, my son, my son!" vital in
their anguish. With a snap he closed
the book, holding it tightly clasped in
his hands while he stared into the
flame of the lamp with knit brows and
twitching lips.
It was as If the fateful cry had
touched some sore spot in his heart,
set throbbing some half-healed pain.
For moment shadow as of vague
remorse darkened his expressive face.
Then resolute strength frightened

the atrocities and gives the figures
of the dead at a million. Here is
his story of how the Turkish govern
ment undertook to eliminate the Ar
menian problem:
"A practically uniform course was
followed in carrying out this pro-
1ect. The leading Armenian men of
each town or village-those who were
best educated, well-to-do and infiu-
ential, the strong and substantial
representatives of their people, were
robbed and then carried off to be kill
ed or so disposed of that they should
not reappear: the women and chill
dren and the old and feeble men were
next rounded up; on short notice.
sometimes without warnig. they were
compelled to leave their homes and
goods, which were promptly seized
by rapacious Turks who simply ap-
propriated the vacated dwellings;
compelled further to set forth upon
long and unknown trail toward the
south and the desert places. Without
provision or clothing for the Journey,
beaten by their guards, abused by the
peoples through whose villages they
passed, exposed to heat and cold, to
storm and the suns fierce rays, these
wretched outcasts were obliged to
stumble on till they fell exhausted,
starved, sick and dying by the road :

News Now Coming Out of Turkey
of Missionaries and Armenians
Eleven Americans Dead and About One Million Ar
menans Have Perished; Relief Work For Refugees
BY R
BY THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER

FRESH news comes simultaneously
from three sources concerning the
conditions of missionaries and Ar
menians in and about Turkey. DIR.
Cornelius II. Patton, the Secretary of
the American Board of Missions, has
made a formal and official state
ment as to the present status of mis-
sionaries and American property in
Turkey, enumerating the losses in life
and buildings.
From the same board has come q
somewhat detailed statement of the
American interests in the region
about ErZerum. where the Prussians
are operating. DR.. William E. Strong,
the Editorial Secretary of the Ameri-
can Board, has summarized the facts
concerning the Armenians down to
date, and Professor Samuel Il. Dutton,
Secretary of the American Commit
tee for Armenian relief has reported
upon the work that is being done for
the succor of the Armenian refugees
across the border.
While there is a brighter side to
this latest news, especially because of
the stream of relief that is increasing
ly flowing to the Armenians. and be-
cause of the steadfastness of the AM
ericans in Turkey the picture is
nevertheless a terrible one.

There is terrible uniformity in the
tales of suffering and need. The Rus
sian government has appropriated q
million and a half of rubles for the
Caucasus refugees. The American
Committee has sent half a million dol
lars. The need will continue for
months to come, but the most reassur-
ing fact about the latest news is that
1T is now more possible than ever to
reach the sufferers with help.

DR.. Wilson tells of Caucasus viii
lages of three hundred houses with
nine hundred refugees quartered in
them. In one region forty thousand
died of disease after reaching Russian
territory. In one stable he found
eighteen persons, a blind youth being
the only man. In a bake house
twenty-seven persons were quartered,
one boy and one very old man being
the only males. OF six hundred refu-
gees in one village thirty are men:
