tween them.
The work Of the camp went on
well. A bunch Of lumberjacks from
Sacramento had come in during April,
and Sandry took them on. The Port
land Lumber company received the
second raft, q smaller one, by the
middle Of May, and followed its re-
ceipt with another order that would
keep all hands and extra help at work
until August. The pressing mortgage
had been lifted by that first big check
and the young owner felt his spirit
surging within him like the growing
year. His only worry was the fact
that Hampden was building track and
a log.trail into the strip between camp
and the East Belt from the south.

At that moment SlletE came around
the corner Of the house and Sandry's

instantly an expression of wistful sad.

CHAPTER Xxx.
a Cruel Weapon,


In the soberly correct offices OF
Farnsworth G. Heathcote, one of New
York's most solid and reputable law
firms, two persons sat talking.
The honest roses in the cheeks OF
Miss Poppy Ordway bloomed glorious

when she moved her splendid shoul

the mahogany chair.back.
"And now. Mr.. Farnsworth," she
was saying, can you give me the full
particulars OF that mysterious rob.

The eminent lawyers quiet eyes

woman's beauty, the concise handling
of the discussion In hand.
"As one of the attorneys for the
estate of James B. Whitby, think

gravely.

CHAPTER XIX,
A Lie and q Theft,

Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-the strength were powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the plas.
ter casts knitted 5usily. With his re-.
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. She gave up
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend part OF her days
In the little room. This had been San.
dry's urgent request.
"See what you've lost already in
time and strength and energy" he
pleaded, please go to your own work. t"
On one OF the first days OF Ma
Daily's attendance, he asked to SEQ
Siletz.
The general was wise and she sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step that
always reminded him of wild things in
the forest-so slipping. soft and

Presently he heard 1t coming down

self saying, though for his life 1t was
not what he wished to say, and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him, clasping her hands on the sheet
at his side. There was nothing OF the
conscious avowal OF Poppy words in
her look and attitude, only the simple
betrayal Of nature as open as the
day. The shining light OF Joy in her
face the hushed acknowledgment OF
Gods sparing Of his life, was all-suiii'
cient. In q flash he heard the words
OF Kolawmie's halfbreed:
for S'letz is your woman"
And he knew they were true. By
every sign OF her soul and body they
were true, as simply as the flower wor.
ships the sun all day. And there in
the little south room, from whose open
window he could hear the click OF a
typewriter, was the most brilliant

AS soon as Daily had gone Poppy
Ordway leaned SO close that the subtle
perfume OF her garments intoxicated
him strangely, and said exultantly.
"And now for Hampden, Walter
I'm ready to go after him right"
Sandry looked up at her from his
pillow and then out along the spring
tinted hills. and drew his brows to-
gether in thought.
Presently he spoke.

FALL CELEBRATION
OFFICIAL C0L0RS
Red, White and Blue Have Been Sc
leeted by Committee In Charge
Of Big Event As the
Best Choice.
MAKE SWELL" SHOWING
These viii be Used in Decoration
Does Not Mean That American
Flag Itself is Chosen,
Just the coiors.

The official colors for the Keokuk
fall celebration were announced to-
day by the committee The colors
will be red. white and blue. This
does not mean that the American FLAG
is the official banner for the celebra.
ton, but that the same colors will be
used in decoration for the big event.
The committee decided that mas
much as there was SO much prepared
ness" and "nationalism" in the air
that 1t would not be amiss to borrow
the combination of colors from our
national flag for the celebration col
ors. These colors blend perfectly for
any form of decoration, as well, and
make a splendid showing in almost
any form Of decoration.
The committee plans to use the
official colors in the decoration Of
stores and buildings and in decorat-
ing the streets and the auditorium
and coliseum where the different at
fractions will be staged. All OF the
official printing will bear these col
ors, too.
A photograph OF Ruth Law, queen
of the air, as she stands by her BIZ
plane, and another showing what a
night flight by this intrepid woman
looks like are displayed in the Keo-
kuk Electric companys office along
with the banner inviting people to
Keokuk's big fall celebration. The
pictures are attracting considerable
notice.
