Trouble With the Yellow Pines

Trouble with the yellow Tines.
Walter Sandry sat In the office at
the Ilough's edge. busy with file and
ledger. Two months had passed and
something had lifted from him in
these two months; weight had light

tensity for this rain-soaked land, there
had creut in an insidious admiration.
often now he looked down the green
little valley sharply defined between
arc binding hills and felt the subtle
charm of the intimate shadows, the

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS

Irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog.

else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver.
acid stomach, sleeplessness end all
sorts of bladder disorders
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM

flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-

One of the Mysterious Paths.

girl. There, on her lighter skin, tell
tale in it's truth of outline, was the be-
ginning of the same mark. broken in
it's inception by some mysterious
hand.
For a moment Sandry's head whirled
and sort of nausea came over him.
Then he became conscious of her dark
eyes, level and calm, upon his face and
a thrill that sent the blood pounding
in his veins shot through him. The
mighty trees around them, the eternal
majesty of the hills under the intimate
gray sky, the girl in her trim, sensible
attire of blue shirt, short skirt and
boots, with that sudden revelation of
the wild about her, combined to sug.
gest the unreal the mysterious. the
lawless; in a fash he understood her
silences, her calm, her occasional
stilted modes OF speech, and her
whimsicalities.
''Why-why-S'l etz!" he stammered.
following out the train of his illumined
thought, what are you? Who are
you? A star in the dusk! The night
wind In the pines!"
In the flush of the pregnant moment
he laid his hand on her bare arm I'M
der the rolled-up sleeve-her soft arm,
wet with the mist-closing his fingers
strongly upon it. For the enchanted
present she was romance and mys-
terry, and Sandry was beneath its spell.
But Siletz looked from his face
down to the hand upon her arm. The
blood rose slowly in her dusky cheeks,
and when she raised her eyes again
they were dim with the same look Of
intoxication as had come with the mad
ness of the rushing wind on Black
Bolts back.
YES" she said dreamily, CT am the
Night Wind. That's what they call me
my friends the Indians. But how
did you know"
Il didn't l just heard the words in
my heart. They are right"
He did not remove his hand, and
silence fell between them while they
stood gazing into each others eyes.
Sandry saw the heavy look in hers, the
dull fire that bespoke very drunken
ness OF emotion, and in another mo-
ment he had lost his head. Without
thought, as simply as the first runner
of those forests took what he wanted,
he leaned forward and kissed her,
softly. lightly, on her smooth cheek.
Her eyes darkened perceptibly and
she covered her face with her hands.
In a sudden great embarrassment
Saudry stood silent beside her, his
heart pounding and his manhood al
ready upbraiding him. He searched
his clearing brain for some word of
apology, some contrite expression, but
found none. and the next moment
could not in any case have spoken 1t;
for Siletz lifted her face and it was
glorified. The intoxication had drifted
away from her features, leaving them
bare in the utter simplicity of the pri-
meval woman, and there was in them
a white fire OF seIf-surrender.
Without a woodland Sandry knew
instinctively that she could not speak
she turned to Black Bolt, threw the
reins over his head. crouched beside
him on little lift of moss and leaped
upward. He watched her land on the
horses blanketed back with that in
imitable grace of the wild. turn and

and found state of things sufficient
to raise the ire of any riverman Or
timber Jack.
Where the track approached the roll
way it had been torn up bodily, the
ties and rails thrown into the narrow
slough. as evidenced by few pro-
jecting ends, and the rollway itself. a
slanting floor of logs some two feet
thick supported on group of gradu-
ated piles, sagged in the center where
two piles had been cut and pried side,
wise. The lower edge also dropped
for the same reason. 1t had been the
work of pure malice. that he saw at
glance.
Collins" he said as the men came
up in a sullen group, get to work and
see if you can raise those sawed sup
ports and pry them back on their
bases"
The gang went slowly down the
sharp bank of the tidewater slough.
Johnny Eastern" said one softly,
'all right, all right! Prize up roll
way! My Aunt Maria!"
Sandry stood near, realizing his linn
itations and raging helplessly, watch
ing them lazily testing and pushing
here and there.
Hadn't we better just spike 'em
on to the sides?" asked Collins. with a
droll upward glance.
Sandry was about to reply when
John Daily slipped down from the track
beside him under the lee Of the dam
aged rollway.
Collins" he said sternly, you get
back to camp and bring tools-peavies,
hooks, couple of chains and some
picks. Bring couple of axes, too.
What do you mean by such business?'
Orders" said Collins with grin.
"You see, Mr.. Sandry." said Daily
alphabetically, there's no fixin' such
timbers as them, not when they've got
to carry such weight. They'll have to
be taken out entirely an new ones
SET"
II didn't know" returned Sandry
frankly; won't they hold back the
work."
"A day or so, mebbe. We can take
the fallers out an put them on with
Collins an the rest. There's enough
down to keep the buckers busy day
or two, anyway. We won't lose much"
DO you think this is the work of
the Yellow Pines people, Daily?"
Sure" said Daily with certainty,
they've done worse than this before
now. Cut our best cable two years
ago and twice they've run the dinkey
off the track into the slough. They're
bad actors"
But what's the use? What do they
gain?"
They want to run us out of the
hills. Been at it for ten years. They're
just givin' you hint as the new
owner"
The repairing of the damaged roll
way was another revelation to the
fastener. New timbers were brought
down and the slanting floor was thick
ly underpinned. Then with pick and

The foreman looked at him inQuir-
ingly.
That left bank of the slough up
there is in the form of a ridge. Don't
you think we could set crew at it at
low tide and dig it through, turning
the water into the field yonder? That
would leave the slough empty here for
the time between high tides Could
you get the timbers out in a few
hours?"
Daily's experienced eye had already
taken in every detail of the possibili-
ties as Sandry talked.
That's a good scheme, Mr.. Sandry,"
he said slowly. 81 believe it'll work"
So it was that the first practical sug-
gestion Of the new owner was set into
action.
The whole crew of the camp was
brought out of the hills and set to
work and the damaged rollway was re-
paired as good as new. the break in
the west bank filled, the slough run
ming full again and nothing to show
for the trouble but the flooded field of
tules.
Under Walter Sandry's cool de-
meanor there was small glow OF
satisfaction, sense of having in a
way redeemed himself.
At supper time Siletz, moving be-
tween the tables, laughed to herself,
softly, and her dark eyes under the
little shadow of her parted hair held
sparkling CLEAN as if she had seen
that conflict and enjoyed it.
"SiletZ," said the owner, coming in
suddenly from the east porch after the
men had tramped heavily away to the
clubhouse. whom do you know out
side this camp?"
She was alone in the big spotless
kitchen, her sleeves rolled up from her
arms, slim and brown with smooth
color that was of the suns giving.
Outside the camp" she asked. turn
ing to him for a moment, stopped in
some task of the aftermath of the
meal, "why-nobody"
Don't you ever go down to Toledo?"
Sandry was leaning in the doorway,
his bright blue eyes upon her.
Sometimes"
Have you no friends there? No
girl friends?"
She shook her head and he noticed
small pointed chin, the good forehead
conflicting with vague suggestion of
fieeting wild things in the velvety
eyes.
is there no one with whom you as
sociate outside the camp? Think"
Suddenly there passed over her fea-
lures quick change. He could liken
it to nothing but wind on the surface
of water, just breath of change.
only the Preacher" she said with
swift slurring Of softness in her
voice.
THE Preacher"
you don't know him. He only comes
sometimes. He was here just before
you came"
"Who Is he?" asked Sandry curious
ly.
II don't know. Nobody knows. But
/ love him."
The Preacher" he said to himself
little later in the bare south room un-
der the dripping caves. HIN! The
Bible-of course"
With new interest he picked up
the quaint old book of Holy Writ and
let it fall open in his hands as it had
a way of doing.
Out from that marvellous song of an
inspired soul, the Psalms, there looked
his answer, as he was to know in an
other day. the truest answer that could
have been given to his question::
Who shall ascend into the hill of the
Lord? Or who shall stand In his holy
place? He that hath clean hands and a
pure heart; who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity. nor sworn deceitfully.
With an odd feeling of truth struck
from the page he closed the book and
laid 1t gently down on the white cloth.

precision of knowledge and express

Fasteners talk about it. It's a chip
Cd every Oregonian's shoulder. You
don't want to queer yourself"
There was note of genuine good
advice in the words and tone, and
Sandry got sudden insight into sew
eral little happenings that had puzzled
him-for instance, the emphasized
wearing of blue shirts in a rain that
mad soaked his overcoat, and few
remarks about the fact that Oregon
rain didn't wet through
Thank you, Mrs. Daily" he said
earnestly with a sudden feeling of
friendship between him and this
shrewd, kindly old general of men.
He turned presently to the girl,
busy in the lampiight, her black head
shining, a shadow over her eyes.

to you may ride Black Bolt whenever
you wish"
She nodded quietly, without flicker
of the pleased excitement he had ex-
pected in the light of her seeming pas
sionate love of the animal, but a slow,
dull flush spread upward in her dark
face and her fingers trembled bit, he
fancied. on the reeds.
They trembled in all surety the next
morning, when, with bride of colored
and woven horsehair over her arm. she
entered the lean-to.
Black Bolt was a gentleman born.
Though he was wild as the girl for
the free air. the green slopes and the
yielding sod under his feet, he stood
still while she came up lightly, as a
cat springs. with little soft alighting,
and they were gone, down over the
smooth slope of the valley toward the
lower rollway.

Always when she came back there
