herself on her knees. gripping her
braids in savage fingers. and for wild
space something within her that she
had never known in all her life arose
and shook her. She had gone back
thousand years. Blind rage was upon
her-she wanted to fight as the pre-
historic female fought for her mate.
So she knelt and rocked in the lust

the silence of the SiIetz marked the
line of color. Triumph filled the heart

drowsy Thoughts were of the steamer
that was even now blowing down from
Portland to meet them, the huge check

logs-how he would lift a certain

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that change to Postum can bring,
they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit of others.
My mother. since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er, had been troubled with her heart

Of that weak-all-over' feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago / was making q
visit to distant part of the country

chants of the place. noticed some
what unusual flavor of the coffee
and asked him concerning it. He re-
piled that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with 1t that
bought package to carry home with
me, and had wife prepare some for
the next meal The whole family
liked it SO well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition, but We
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach: that the headaches
were not so frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Hard Knock.

/
| 1t was a sweet spring day, blue
arched and fitful-aired, with a riot of
bird songs in the pines when the little
cavalcade bore Walter Sandry up the
vivid valley.
They took him up the slope and
into the Office and held him while ST.

blankets to pile high on the spring
cot, and presently they laid him. a
sadly broken thing, upon it. The color
had drained from the dark face of the
girl. and her hands, shut hard hung
tensely in the folds of her skirt as a
silence fell with the easing of the man
upon the bed.

The doctor had known her for the
several years he had been in the coun-
try and he studied her face moment
before answering.
Close call, Sletz," he said gently;
maybe he'll live-maybe not"
For a moment she swayed upon her
feet. flinging her hands across her
eyes, while her breath came in catch
ing gasps
But God sits above the SEAL she
cried at last. tragically. "Oh. Father,
spare him. for he is an unbeliever!"
At this tense moment Poppy Ord

All her life had this woman taken
chances, sharp chances, fraught with
swift danger and trying to nerve and
skill, but never had she done a harder
thing than to face this little group of
Westerners whose instinct matched
her art.
They turned upon her in thunder
stricken silence-the doctor with a
clean amaze. the Indians in stoical
quiet. Ma Daily with an establishment

knees beside the cot, that shook the
heart in her. chilled her bold spirit.

awful, its lips where the broken Sign

with an uncomprehending horror that
irritated her.

But here Siletz sprang up to her
slim height and her voice smote the
hushed room like the swapping of a
taut wire.

LEARNING ABOUT CLOTHES
THROUGH MOVING PICTURES

II is indeed cOmmendable the
way some manufacturers are TAX
ing the public into their conf
dence these days by showing them
Just how their products are made.
There is only one way OF doing
This N a wide circulating manner
and that is through the moving
pictures where the manufacturer
can bring the consumers eyes and
brains right into his own factory.
Those manufacturers who are
honest enough and enterprising
enough 10 follow this method OF
creating confidence in their goods
are really entitled 10 all the ben
etltS that are sure 10 accrue from
such honest advertising methods
On Friday, March II, we are 10
have an example of such an edu-
cational movement at the En-
press Theatre and on a com
modify that we know little of in
comparison with It's importance to
us.
This is the making Of clothes.
On the above date a film entitl-
ed "The Clothing Industry" will
be shown. Ii takes us right into
every operation of clothes as
clothes should be made in a mod
crn and sanitary manner. The
film starts off with showing the
herding of sheep, from there on
various operations in shearing the
sheep, asserting the wool, weav-
ing the cloth, shrinking of the
cloth and many other vital oper-
atoms in building clothes.
The film also shows views dem
onstrating the sanitary environ
ment in which these clothes are
made for the welfare of not on
|ly the manufacturers employees,
| hut the wearers of the clothes as
well, TO protect them from con
tagious diseases and unhealthy
| germs so often carried in clothes
that are made in sweat-shopS and
in homes Of unSanitary conditions.
The business end of wholesale
clothing manufacturing is also
shown by way of the manner in
which clothes are advertised
through the art departments, pro
motion departments and mailing
departments. The welfare side
of clotheS-making is also shown
by interesting scenes and athlete
sports during the outings that are
given by the manufactures to
their employees.
The exhibition of this film 10
gcther with four other reels and
special music will be free through
the courtesy of "Leibovitz" who
has arranged for a free perfor-
nance at the EmpheSs Theatre
