the Kamatlah field just before his
dummies had filed upon it would at
least tend tos aggravate suspicion
that the entries were not bona Tide.
1t was rather an awkward
moment. Sheba unconsciously re-
lieved the situation.
But what about the big moose,
Mr.. Macdonald? What did it do
then"
The Alaskan went back to his
story. He was talking for Sheba
alone, for the young girl, with eager
fascinated eyes which flashed with
sympathy as they devoured selected
Sllmpses CT his wild, turbulent
career She saw him with other
eyes than Elliot's. The government
official admired him tremendously.
Macdonald was an empire builder.
He blazed trails for others to fol-
low in safety. But Gordon could
guess how callously his path was
strewn with brutality, with the eff
fects of an. ethical color blindness
largely selfish, though even he did
not know that the mans primitive
jungle code of wolf eat wolf had
played havoc with Sheba's Young
life many years before.
Diane, satisfied that Macdonald
had scored, called upon Sheba.
Il want you to sing for us, dear
if you will"
Sheba accompanied herself. The
voice of the girl had no unusual
range, but 1t Was singularly sweet
and full of the poignant feeling that
expresses the haunting pathos of her
race.
It's well know ye, Sheve Cross,
Ye weary, stony hill.
An I'm tired, och, I'm tired to be
looking on ye still.
For here l live the near side
an he Is on the far,
An all your heights and hollows are
between us, so they are.
Och anee!
Gordon, as he listened, felt the
strange hunger of that homeSck
cry steal through his blood. He
saw his own emotions reflected in
the face of the Scotch Canadian,
who was watching with a tense in
terest the slim, young figure at the
piano, the girl whose eyes were soft
and dewy with the mysticism of her
people, were still luminous with the
poetry of the child in spite of the
years that heralded her a woman.
Elliot intercepted the triumphant
sweep of DANES glance from Mac
donald to her husband. In a flash
it lit up for him the words he had
heard on the hotel porch. Diane,
an inveterate matchmaker = intended
her cousin to marry Colby Macdonald.
No doubt she thought she was doing
q fine thing for the girl. He was a
millionaire, the biggest figure in the
Northwest. His iron will ran the
town and district as though the
people were chattels of his Back
of him We're some of the biggest
financial interests in the United
States.
But the gorge of Elliot rose. The
man, after all, was a lawbreaker, a
menace to civilization. He was a
survivor, by reason of his strength,
| from the primitive wolf-pack. The
| very look of his hard, gray eyes was
| dominant and masterful. He would
win, no matter how. 1t came to
Gordon's rebel heart that If Mac
donald wanted this lovely Irish girl
| and the young man never doubted
| that the Scotsman would want her
he would reach out and gather in
! Sheba just as If she were a coaI
mine or a placer prospect.
All this surged through the mind
of the young man while the singer
was ON the first line of the second
stanza.

IA revolt in Austria is near and
before long the German people will
strip the Kaiser Of his power, but will
leave him whatever pleasure he gets
out Of sitting on a throne and calling
himself emperor.
That's what Private Selim Shoueka,
Egyptian, says. For three hundred
years Shoueka's ancesors have seen
into the future and he is as astrolo-
ger of no mean ability. He claims to
have foretold ire election of Mayor
Mitchell of New York before Mitchell
entered politics and named the month
American would enter the war eight
months before the declaration was
made. He also predicts:
That the war will end early next
year, peace coming through the eff
forts of President Wilson and Pope
Benedict.
Germany will be compelled to sur
render all captured Russian, Belgian
and French territories, and pay i'm
mense indemnities.
Shoueka is learning to be a soldier
here and on account of his linguistic
accomplishments expects to be valu-
able as an army interpreter.

The festival this year was SUCCESS
OF this there can be no question.
Whether we view Il from a meteoro-
logical, Q social or a financial point
OF view, the results admit of only one
conclusion lit was a success.
The weather was ideal for the pur-
pose. The day was bright, clear and
moderately warm, so that many were
induced 10 come to enjoy the dinner,
the ice cream, the dancing and the
other attractions. The crowds was In
o holiday mood. They 'growIedp a
bit at the increased charges for the
dinner, as who would not when asked
to pay rs cents for what all bis life he
had Deen used TO get for 90 cents ? = but
every one saw the reasonableness OF
the advance and willingly paid il; and
as for the dancing, not only the young
people enjoyed 1t and moved with de-
| light to the rhythmic pulsations Of
Washen's band--but the great big
crowd who had outgrown the dancing
age and we're comfortably settled into
