Hampden-and then I'll look into the
little matter of my East Belt"
That day he got his first letter from
Poppy Ordway. 1t was heavy and
satiny and it breathed an insidious
perfume.
Also it was brilliant with excitement
and limited at great things.

she wrote; I've found a man who
knows him-and he's in the commits

susceptible and he thinks I'm one OF

February was passing. The days of
f1tful sunlight were becoming more
frequent. The camp was humming
with business. Silent, bent on the
thing in hand, the Indians worked
without need of encouragement.
The slough was bank-full and its
surface was covered from dawn IL
dark with floor of logs slowly drift
ing on every tide downward to the
backwater.
At the sloughs mouth huge cradle
was slowly forming in it's braces.
Here the little loading donkey pulled
and footed, graphing many-ton tim.
bers with its two drag-hooks, placing
them here and there. The mass OF
chains covered the bottom of the
cradle a few feet apart.
Twelve men worked continually at
the great marine monster, packing the
logs inside the cradle, carrying the
giant chains up and over as the snug
floor reached the top. lacing the whole
together and at last lifting the center
gently. thus giving to the thing its
likeness to a vast cigar.
A timber-scaler. sent down by the
Portland firm, was constantly In at.
tendance.
A shack had been thrown up at the
head of the raft and watch was kept
by day and night.
I'VE can't trust Hampden a minute.
John" said Sandry; I'm learning sus-
picion." Indeed he was learning many
things Only John Daily in the sanity
of his just nature watched this Johnny
Eastern take his rough knocks and
come up with his teeth set
These two were growing together in
slow affection The big room had,
in sense. become home to Sandry,

PLAN NEW CITY FOR CHINA
Hankow, Destroyed in Revolution. May
Be Rebuilt in the Form of
Triangular island.

The recent agitation regarding the
proposed rebuilding of that part OF
Hankow, China, destroyed during the
revolution, has developed into plans
which may make the city triangular
island, and for this an English COM
pany offered lin July. 1910 to furnish
$5O,00O,000 at the close of the war
then pending.
Commissioner Yam Tu has drawn up
comprehensive plan of improve
ment. One preliminary survey and one
minute survey have been made and all
preparations for laying out the sites,
digging the new canal and construct
ing the river bridges are being active
ly pushed on.
The best part of the city is now a
strip of land along the river Yangtze.
and this has been turned into conces-
sions. so that nothing can be done in
regard to it.
Next in Importance is the land be-
tween the river and the old market
place, which Is the only area on which
NoFClOpulCubb @du no AlaASs AS tue
lower end of the market place is con-
nected with the concessions, no extern
sion can be made on that side.
At the rear is shallow lake. and
without great effort it cannot be
turned into a market.
A comprehensive review of the stu
alton which recently appeared in the
Chinese National Gazette has met
with widespread approval. 1t says:
The strip of land behind the conces-
sions and the site of the lake are all
distant from the river, hence trans
portation is difficult. Chinese COM
merce should extend and expand, and
other undertakings must be effected.
Those in charge Of the project
now intend to open a canal, beginning
at the upper part OF the Han river,
extending along the rear OF the con-
cessions and Joining the Yangtze river.
Thus Hankow will be a triangular
island.
ION every side of 1t vessels will
be able to cast anchor, and the de-
velopment Of Industries and com
merce viii go forward by leaps and
bounds"

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.


Children's taste Is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and 1t did me good to
see him. From that day on 1t seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper. and I think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond Of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using 1t.
I'VE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,, l was
satisfied that the disease was. caused
by lack Of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, Of course, my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day"

Even as he spoke she lost her footing
and went headlong down the cliff, roll
ing over and over in the sliding sand,

the path turned sidewise on a little
shelf. Without heed she gathered her.
self, threw back her braids and rushed
on, leaping downward like a deer.
When Sandry reached her she was
ankle deep in the surf. gazing with all
her starved nature in her eyes, that
yet shone with a martial fire. Then,
suddenly, through some rent in the
sodden sky, a beam of light shot
through the mist, TRANSFERRING it.
Sandry saw the look of intoxication
creep into her eyes. the drunkenness
of emotion that dulled them drowsily.
Lines drew in her oval cheeks and
slowly her face broke into a look of
anguish. She put up an arm and COW
cred 1t, turning toward the beach.
Sandry caught her in his arms and
held her. weeping hard. against his
breast.
Il cannot bear it" cried Siletz from
this shelter, "oh, hurt. hurt!"
"S'h! S'h!" whispered Sandry husk-
lily, lit is too great-too creator
the Night Wind to behold"
The ride home was silent, with San
dry in the lead. his spirit still stirred
and shaken by what he had beheld.
They did not speak again until the
camp lay before them at the big bend
S'letz," said Sandry then. BLACK
Bolt is yours. None other shall ever
ride him again"
She said nothing. but her fingers
frightened in the gallant crest tossing
before her.
When they rode up across the small
bridge that spanned the slough below
the foot-log the foreman was standing
beside the hammer-block. He reached
up huge, bare arms and swung the
girl lightly down, sending a glance
across her shoulder that arrested the
owners attention instantly.

Sandry. his face gone white as sand
under his hat brim, stared at the blank
windows of the cabins.

when he entered the long room. "eat

mick's a poor boiler Tor workin'

And Sandry. looking into her kindly
old face, saw the sanity OF her ad-
vice. He took her fat hand-and a
spoon and the end OF a dish towel
also-holding it tight in his own for a
moment.
Right you are, ma" he answered,
and sat him down.
