From that dime forth Sandry began
to take keener interest in Siletz. For

called her S1etz, with soft slurring
of the first syllable, and he found him
self using the name which he thought
particularly beautiful. II was the
name Of the reservation TO the north

A correspondent of the Companion

that the lonely women of the nation
have done-women who have no sons,
no husband. no brother. no father in
the war; who are perhaps too old or
too feeble to nurse or TO be otherwise
active. No one knows where the idea
started, but some womel OF that sort
made inquiries of the regiments re-
gardlng soldiers who lad no father
or mother; they begged to be put in
communication with those soldiers.

Often now he looked down the green

its binding hills and felt the subtle
charm of the intimate shadows, the
near white dusk and the great trees
under whose dropping feathery boughs
there lay silence and a sense OF ref

Suddenly there came to him a claI1-

tale in its 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
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

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 IL. 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, II am the
Night Wind. That's what they call me
my friends the Indians. But how
did you known"
Il didn't just heard the words in
my heart. They are Aght."
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 a 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 IL;
for Siletz lifted her face and II 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 selfsurrender.

Sandry was enjoying her succinct
precision of knowledge and express

There was a note Of genuine good
advice in the words and tone. and
Sandry got a sudden insight into sew
eral little happenings that had puzzled
him-for instance, the emphasized
wearing of blue shirts in a rain that
had soaked his overcoat. and a few
remarks about the fact that Oregon
