On the fourteenth of March the
wheezy tug pulled the great, brown
clgar-shaped monster that meant so
much to Sandry and the fortunes of
the Dillingworth from its mornings
out to the narrow, deep neck of the
pay that would take it to the sea.
Sandry for the first time in his life
felt the slow, sliding motion as the
great oval floor responded to the
screening tug and the ebb tide.
On board with Sandry were Daily
and eight Indians. all armed and wait
ing for anything that might develop.
But Hampden had no notion of meet

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

When you wake up with backache

1t generally means you have been eat
Ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours. tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine IL
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Hard KNOCK.

It was a sweet spring day, blue
arched and fitful-aired, with 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 81

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
silence fell with the easing of the man
upon the bed.
Doctor" she said hoarsely; doc
tor" and could get no further.
The doctor had known her for the
several years he had been in the coun-
try and he studied her face a moment
before answering.
CLOSE call, S1etz," he said gently;
maybe he'll live-maybe not"
For a moment she swayed upon her
feet, fiinging 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
way who had been watching from the
backgI ound with parted lips and kin
ding eyes, stepped forward.
"Doctor-Mrs. Daily" she said.
"t1is terrible thing forces me to speak
OF something which land Walter

Ised wife and as such will take
charge of him.
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
that was only the forerunner of antag-
onistic reaction. But Of them all 1t
was the face of Siletz, fallen upon her
knees beside the cot, that shook the
heart in her, chilled her bold spirit.
1t lifted itself, painting, white and
awful, it's lips where the broken Sign
stood plainly out, fallen apart and col
orless. The dark eyes stared upon her
with an uncomprehe ending 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.

nestly. and they tell me that you
are sad. What can l doh. what can
I do to help?"
There was in her voice the simple
cry OF a sympathy so intense that it
was anguish, and Sandrys lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable of sending
through him, to take her into his arms
as ne had done that day when she
oeheld the sea. But a tardy thought
or Miss Ordway shut his hands upon
themselves and steadied his voice.
He put his hands upon her shout
ders and turned her round.
Go back to Ma Daily, child" he
said. but his voice had fallen to a
Whisper, whisper that was a caress

without word, obedient to him as
the primal woman ever is to man.
Siietz went away in the night toward
the cook-shack.
AS she passed up the path she al
most brushed the garments of Pony
Ordway, standing in rigid silence, her
hands shut in the folds of her gown,
her rose lips ashen, her eyes strained

Fool! FOOL! Fool!" the woman
was thinking in rage of passion.
Why didn't | suspect? She is some
thing to him-she has her charm.
There is danger in her to mech,

For Poppy Ordway had heard the ca
ress of that lowered voice. The new
passion in her took fright, and a furi.
Gus, choking rage sent the blood hot
upon her heart
The next morning he found upon his
Wlndow-ledge a handful of fern and a
spray OF tiny, yellow, waxlike flowers
that were beginning to show where
the little streams tore down the noun

TOOK them in and Put them away in a
drawer among his papers, silent voice
OF sympathy that was as delicate as
1t was strong.
That morning when Poppy Ordway
encountered Siletz the bright smile
she gave her covered a sudden hatred
that had sprung, full grown, from a
mans low whisper; and the bad times
tnat followed for the girl had their
inception then.

Those were the last words that the
mind of the Fastener were to know

where he was standing suddenly rose
under him like thing of life. The
night opened, fame shot upward from
the dark waters, Unreasonable sound
smote his eardrums to silence, pain
that was uncomfortable stretched and
tore his limbs. He sailed away into
night and the world was not.
When the thing was over John Daily
picked himself up from where he had
been blown clear of the raft and the
water, landing in a tangle of BURBERRY
vines. and screamed a curse at the
serene heavens.
"Oh. God damn his soul to hell" he
cried, half after the manner of a
