CHAPTER XXX.
The Bed Death.

So they were left, these two-the
East and the West-alcne upon the
mighty pyre OF the iumbled peaks.
Only the forbidding spine of the Hog
Back, running like a great thin blade
high between the red surf creeping at
It's base, carried a passage out Of the
roaring death. Silet2 had planned
that the splendid black should make
It first.
Now she turned back to the two
men she loycd-the Preacher, silent
under the shielding ferns with his
Bible ana his flute, Sandry prone upon
the earth, his face in the pine nee
dies. She passed him and knelt beside
the other. Her eyes were dim with
the old look Of emotion. She barred
the white face and gazed long upon
It. The call of blood had ever held
her TO this man mysteriOusly, though
both were ignorant OF the vital tie
between them, the Preacher because
OF the dreamy blank in his mind since
the tragedy of that far-Cff day, Siletz
because Kolawmie, wise beyond his
generation, had seen how blood takes
to it's own, even at its cost. He had
loved her mother and had tried to
make her Indian, though she vas
white. a waif of the old frontier, and
he had seen her break her heart and
die.

babe Of the Broken Sign and given
her to the only white woman he would
trust, Ma Daily, who took her with
few questions when she saw he would
not tell her history. SO now SiletZ

sciously upon her own. Presently she
leaned over and kissed him softly, re-
placed the ferns and rose

him, tucking her feet with the age-old
motion OF the blanket-wearers beneath
her skirt, so deeply had she absorbed
the ways Of the dusky people whom
she loved.
She did not speak.
When at last the man, his face
drawn out Of all semblance to itself,
raised his eyes to her she was calm

him without question because he had

nothing, who stayed by him to die be-

Tho Blessed Rain.

At camp at the upper rollway John
Daily was searching wildly in the
crowds Of silent. exhausted men for
trace Of Sandry. OF Siletz and of Miss
Ordway.
His face was CHASTITY. for love tore
at his heart with double force.
Ma Daily had not seen him for two
days and when she met him she said
straightly:
"Sletz went into tn fire, son, after
Sandry. That was hours ago. An
tn Jezebel woman went, too"
That was the hardest knock of the
big mans life and he came near not
taking 1t standing. He staggered a.

went down in Walter Sandry, the last
last strand Of prejudice broke with q
snap. He rolled near and caught the
hem of her ragged skirt.
Little Sletz!" he said brokenly,
"oh, Little S'letz! What am | that you
should have done this thing!"
She looked down at him and the
rare smile curled up the corners of the
lips above the sign.

A tender usefulness rang in her
voice. She fell silent, after her fash

bore tenderly among them two sings.
It was a significant fact that scat
tered along that scarecrow line was
every man of Sandry's old crews who
had gone over to Hanpcen.
In one sling there swung gently the
still figure of the Preacher, it's Book
upon it's breast, its martial flute beside
It, it's glimmerings of the Past for

In the other lay Sandry. his right
hand clasping two small dark ones
whose owner trudged faithfully beside
him refusing all offers Of assistance.
A holy Joy was in his heart, his lips
moved noiselessly in the rolling Latin
of a "Te Deum." This was the hour
for which he had carelessly learned 1t
at college.
Unashamed he acknowledged the ex.
istence of that Power which he had
once denied to Siletz.
And the little maid who had lost
her soul for love lifted wondering eyes

dim distance, where her sanctuary.

The Mohler Resignation.

The unexpected resignation OF President
Mohier OF the Union Pacific causes both surprise
and regret to his friends for while il has been
known that the burdens OF the position have
been growing steadfastly more onerous il was
the general impression and hope that Mr.
Mohler would continue TO guide the destinies OF
that great transeontinental railroad for years to
come IT, aside from the reason Of ill-health, he
were TO choose a time for retiring, the present
moment when the road is in prime physical con
dition and its earnings higher than ever in its
history would reflect the fullest credit upon his
management But these very circumstances. it
would seem to us, would warrant the manage
mcnt TO give him vacation for six months or a
year rather than dispense with his services.
As community Omaha will be reluctant to
sec Mr. Mohler give up the Union Pacific pres
idency because, on the whole, we have gotten
along together very we'll and he has exerted his
force for the upbuiIding Of our city and increase
Of lis importance on the railroad map, lie has

Another angle OF the safety first campaign
is presented in a report just given out BY the
railroads interested. II has 10 do with savings
accomplished through reduction Of losses mel
dental to the careless handling OF freight One
hundred and twelve lines reporting show de-
cded gain, the saving for 1915 being S7,s00,000
over 1914 in payment for claims arising from
damage OF destruction OF goods in transit. This
saving has been effected by the simple method
OF taking more pains in handling packages, load
ing cars and moving trains. The showing is en-
couragng, but the payment in 1915 under the
heading was more than $24,00O000, so the
chances for Improvement are still good. Rail
road managers are learning the hard lessons OF
experience and are slowly but surely transmit
ting the wisdom thus gained to the employees
and thus are getting the benefit OF it for the
stockholders Safety first is the one rule that
ought always TO be observed, and when ii is
evenly and universally applied, one big item OF
railroad expense will be found to have nearly, If
not completely, vanished.

The President and His Party.

The democrats in congress have adopted
new form OF amusement--that OF defeating the
president They publicly boast their love and
admiration for him and their faith in his pre-
science, and then with seemingly deliberate intent
vote against his recommendations. Pledges
made in the name OF the party go by the board
in pursuit OF this novel pleasure The White
House naval plans are the latest TO be upset
Promises solemny made only SIX months ago
accompanied by fervent appeals TO patriotism
and the earnest enthusiasm OF the people OF all
parties are now ignored and makeshfts again
substituted for a definite program Ii is the
same old democratic hodgepodge OF ineifieiency
and procrastination an effort TO play both ends
to the middle" The country will be the loser
because of this unwillingness TO accept response
bility and carry out a well-reasoned program
The president and his party are in harmony now
on only one point-the desire TO retain office and
the Willingness TO do anything to hold on.
