ears this way and that. Coosnah had
crawled to where Siletz knelt, weep
ing, with her hands over her face.
He crouched low to the ground and
laid his heavy muzzle against her boot
whining dolorously.
Suddenly, in the momentary silence
Poppy Ordway spoke. Her face was
flushed like an April dawn. Chance
and the courage of the last throw lent
it the last touch of ravishing charm
'Kismeti" she said. 81 am the only
one who wins in this game! Hamp
den, you're right. I've bought you
with your own coin. And let me tell
you Hampden, that you were disgust
ingly easy"
The timberman WINGED at the bru
tai words.
His ford face darkened with rage
"Ah, yes! So you won his love with
your pretty detective work! You II
marry him an settle down."
Thus was the crucial moment pre-
sented to Poppy Ordway all suddenly
and she recognized it instantly. 1t
sent a chill to her daring heart, then
fired it with that love of chance. that
ability to cast great stakes on a
single throw, which in a better nature
would have made her great.
She felt with a flash of her genius
the drama of the situation, the tense
readiness of the moment for wild
fantastic things, and accepted 1t at
once.
"Yes!" she cried, yes! / offer
Sandry you-and myself"
With a beautiful gesture she
stepped toward Sandry and held out
both hands, her golden head up, her
slumbrous blue eyes sensuous and
black with excitement, her whole ex-
quisite body a lure with the mighty
abandon of her passion and her reck-
less gift.
Walter" she said TREMENDOUSLY, II
have said there Is no law for genius
| say it again. l can save your fu-
ture-and | give you myself along
with it, because love you! Oh, you
can never knCw how l love you'll"
Her golden voice rose with the
force of the emotion that shook her,
broke and failed. and she stood pant
ing.
"Will you not take my hands, Wal
teri" she almost walled. Il have done
it all for love of you'll"
Sandry, his eyes upon her face, as If
in fascination, did not move. 1t was
as if he could not, though every fiber
in his jaded body answered to her call.
For love!" breathed Poppy Ord
way, for great love!"
Across her words there cut shrill
cry.
She lies!"
Siletz had sprung to her feet, both
hands feeling wildly in her empty
blouse.
Miss Ordway swung heavily toward
her.
"Hush!" she said warningly.
She slipped hand inside her own
gown and showed corner Of the
soiled packet of proofs that Siletz had

~The Night Wind is Not Afaid to Die"

ang nothing but the tall ferns gathered
an armful which he spread over the
body.
Then he faced Hampden In deadly
quiet.
'I had meant prison" he said. now
I mean the electric chair"
The other laughed.
"Mean an be damned" he said In
xolently. you'll never send me there. =
His burning eyes were covering the
cIump of ferns that held his gun, but
Sandry went over and picked 1t up

I've hated you like poison ever

jerked his head at Poppy, but I'm too

news of their fate. Miss Ordway
raised palsied hands and let them
drop while she stared with eyes of
frightful horror. Siletz moved never
q muscle.
81 told you to go. back!" she cried,
"that big things were about to happen,
and you would not. Now / shall pay
you for all things-for what you
would do to Sandry Also pay him
for that" She pointed 10 the still
form under the ferns.
There is a way out-the secret
trail which only know and which we
take"
She sprang and caught Black Bolts
bride. dragging him with one motion
to Sandry's side. She bent to him
with arms of loving service, exerting
all her strength.
Climb" she commanded, climb
quicki We can make it yeti"
But Sandry looked into her blazing
dark face that was like the peaks in
storm, so wild was it, SO thrilling, so
beyond comprehension, and shook his
head.
What would yo do?" he asked.
DO? Go down the trail across the
Hog Back. There is room for horse,
If he is sure-footed, and Black Bolt
will go where put him Come! He's
faded a bit but he'll carry us both"
"And-they?"
She famed from brow to throat with
unholy joy.
Leave them!" she cried savagely,
leave them to burn with their proofs
and their schemes and their wicked
ness! 1t is the right law!"
NO" he said, at cannot be. If there
is a way you must go-you are wom-
an-and-you must take her with
you"
"What?" cried Siletz in anguish.
THAT is the way of the outside
world, Little Sletz-the way of honor.
He saw the fires leap and flicker in
her eyes, felt the tension Of her hands
upon his arms Here was a force as
wild and cratic as the great fires In
the forest, and he knew not how to
handle it. Then came the words or
the Preacher like a way out of his diff
ficulty.
THE three bars-of Bondage, OF
Faithfulness and of Service"
You are my woman" said the young
man sternly, is it not SOP"
Yes" answered the girl simply. Il
am your woman"
Then / command you to go-and
take her with you"
The girl dropped his shoulders and
arose.
Il will obey" she said.
A change was working in her. The
singing In her ears was growing faint
er. She was coming into the open
country where Sandry lived his life,
even as he had gone for moment
into the Businesses where hers was
laid.
Come" she said to the staring
woman, there is a way out You
need not die
AS the words forced themselves into
the swaying brain of the other they
stripped her of every rag of civiliza-
ton. With a shrek she threw her
self forward, caught at the saddle.

For the first time the three people
left together remembered the fires
saw the thickened smoke. heard the
roar that had made them scream their
tragic words, unconsciously, for the
last half hour.
1t was all around them, that pouring
mass of smoke, and 1t was black, as II
the fires were near. Hampden's huge
figure tore past them toward the mar
row point of the ridge, then came
lurching back, long red streamer
staining his bedraggled shirt.

He flung tragic arm to the dusky
heavens. Poppy Ordway found her

pounced upor him, again with that
subtle suggestion of the feline race
gripping his arm with fingers of steel.

Two bills of particular Importance
TO Anne Arundel county viii be con

Judiciary this afternoon at a meet

after the Senate recesses.
These are the annexation measures
and the Duvall bill compelling all mo-
tor boat owners to place mufiiers upon
their craft
The bill. as originally introduced,
provided for underwater eXhausts, but
there was a very general outbreak OF
opposition to this and. as a result. it
is likely that the measure viii be SO
amended so as to call for mufllers
instead
The bills were to have been taken
up this morning, but the committee

ments for and against the Havre dc

given official denial Fl the American

that it is an injustice to the men em-
ployed in these power plants that any
such intimatiCn that they are contem

10 enlist their support We have not

This statement was made, II is said
as q result OF persistent rumors that

likely TO be the scene OF a strike al

practically all the electricity sold BY
