CHAPTER XIV.

"There Is No Law for a Genius"
March came in like a lamb with
delicate weather, crystal clear and
opal bright, and with it came Miss
Ordway. Sandry was glad 10 see her
but the critical point was at hand and
he scarce took time to eat or sleep
from the great work of the contract

largest, according to Daily. that the
camp had ever sent out in all it's life.

Mills company would lay OF Yaquina

thumb-tack.

That was all. and it was unsigned.
Daily told Sandry of the incident and
showed the warning.
So for the remaining nights the
sreat raft was lighted from end TO

trouble.

I'll float my contract on time, Mr..
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.

February was passing. The days of
fitful sunlight were becoming more

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 to
dark with floor of logs slowly drift
ing on every tide downward to the
backwater.
At the slough's mouth huge cradle
was slowly forming in its 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 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 it's
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.

slow affection. The big room had,

and went headlong down the cliff, roll

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 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 it, turning toward the beach.
Sandry caught her in his arms and
held her. weeping hard, against his
breast

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.
"Sletz," 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
lowner's attention Instantly

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.

"You," said Miss Ordway in a whis-

With her pretty, inimitable gesture
OF daring she put up hand, laid 1t
against his cheek and drew his face
toward her.
Boy" she said in a curiously
choked tone, as if emotion dominated
her, "oh, boy! With your youth and
your eagerness, your inherent strength
and your losing hattie! Did you not
know that you were as fire to me?"
She slipped off the log and stood be-
fore him, her hands clasped across her
breast and all her magnificent beauty
a lure in the spring dusk.
'Ahi" she laughed recklessly, you
have set me flaming, like line of fire

And, turning swiftly. she went down
the slope, away rom him, leaving him
as she had done once before with his
head whirling under the spell OF her
beauty and her daring. But this time
she had left far more, for within him
there surged and rioted emotions that
defied control-Joy and triumph and
savage desire to even scores with the

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

III you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paraiyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back OF sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy 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, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutrali1e the acids in urine,

Big Town Sayings.

There is considerable difference in
the way most Big Town people and
most country people part with their
money. Country people often show
they know the value of money by the
reluctant way in which they lay 1t
down. The Big Town person who is
spending his last five dollar bill gen.
were a million behind it, It's hard to
tell the Big Town rich man from the
Big Town poor man when both are
showing money over the same counter.
Some elevator boys put on lots Of
style in the way they open and close
the cage doors. But they don't get as
much salary as the assistant engineer
in overalls who occasionally has to
substitute when boy has been fir
ed, and who has no style at all.
The country girl is apt to make an
extravagant housewife when she mar
ries the Big Town man. She is used
to having all the cream and eggs In
the world, and she doesn't care how
thick she makes the Feelings from
the potatoes. There were bushels of
potatoes in the bin at home that al
ways had to be thrown to the hogs
anyway when the new crop came in.
Generally it takes her a year or two
to get accustomed to the Big Town
limitations on such things.
Impressive office furniture can Of
ten carry an unimpressive man to sue
cess.
There never was a Big Town wife
who didn't think her husband might
make just a little more money.
Every sky-scraper has its rules
against book agents, yet the office
population buys two thirds of the sub
scription books that are published
1t takes something surprising in
sunrises to get a second look out of
a milkman.
A Big Town man may memorize d
whole library and then find he is not
as big, in the eyes of his son, as some
unlettered cow-puncher who can catch
the left hind foot of a running steer
nine times out of ten.
If ever substitute for sleep is dis
covered, of course Big Town man
will turn the trick.-From Judge.
