"Oh!" cried the girl, suddenly realiz-

And Sandry saw tears fill her dark
eyes and roll unheeded down her
cheeks.

into the roaring timber, "all soft! She
is a plant reed, fit for alteration and
service and tenderness"

In darkness, in a great heat that
seemed to tear the lining from lungs
that breathed it, without rest or food,
they raced with the monster that
laughed at their puny efforts, raced to-
gether, Dillingworth and Siwash and
Yellow Pines, side by side, and there
was neither color nor enmity nor per-
sonality between them. Sandry pulled
a saw with the huge red-shirt he had
once tried to drag out Of the fight at
the cabin in the East Belt, and Collins
worked savagely with Brady Of the
Yellow Pines whom he had thrown
into the slough after the incident Of
the sawed rollway.
SO they toiled, hanging on grimly,
while the world took fire about them
and it seemed as though no living
thing could escape it's wrath. Birds,
flying across the canopy, fell flutter-
Ing to the earth, and once an antlered
buck and two does shot past the line
u~nhindered. AS the fire grew in vol
ume and area many Of the woods crea-
lures began to come down into the
valleys, headed for the sea.
Once Sandry stopped to go down to
the cutting for a cup of coffee, realiz-
ing Mas warning that he must hus-
band his strength.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Shot In the Hills,

At camp they met a party, headed
by the foreman, just starting out In
search of them. Their absence had
been discovered only when Daily, com
ing in from the north, where his work
had been laid out, had asked for San
dry.
At sight Of him the three women
standing together at the foot-log gave
evidence, each in her way, Of those
emotions which the suspicion of his
fate had stirred.
On Mas face was an %unbcunded
pride that he had come through, a
man CT parts, abundantly able to caro-
fer himself among a harder crew. On
Miss Ordway's there lay a vast relief,
while Siletz played with the collar of
her blue shirt with trembling fingers
and moistened her dry lips.
Sandry turned and looked up at the
darkened east with a profound Joy. He
swept his eyes north 20 where the red
heaven fared and staggered to his
office.
Three hours, ma" he croaked in a
voice of warning, "only three hours
sleep for all of us. II you give us
longer I'll never forgive you"
II was true, as Collins said, that
they had only begun to fight.
Through the hours, days, nights that
followed the saving OF the East Belt
they took no note of time. Up along
the biackened, devastated valley the
soldiers moved their camp. Ma Daily

q~uickstep of h~ard-trained infantry
and stood in column OF tours while
the officers sought the head Of af-
fairs. Dailv rron,ntIv sent for the
young forest ranger, and in less than
1t takes in the telling these two keen
witted Westerners, the woodsman
and the soldier, were ready to Crap
pie with the enemy. Light-marching
kits were dumped upon the ground
and the hard-muscled men took to
the hills and the timber under quick.
decisive orders. Two hours later
wagons arrived with commissary sup

It was a Titan struggle, and it was
