Elliot rose and looked across at the
blue-ribbed mountains. His square
Jaw was set when he turned 1t back
toward Diane.
"She isn't going to marry him If
can help it," he said quietly.
He walked out of the gate and down
the walk toward his hotel.
A message was waiting for him there
from his chief in Seattle. It called him
down the river on business.

to know nobody else on the Sarah,
though once Gordon met Dustin just as
he was hurrying away from the Indian
woman.
Meteetse transferred with the other
Kuslak passengers at the river june
ton. The field agent was not the only
one on board who wondered where
she was going. Selfrldge was con-
sumed with curiosity. and when she
and the boy got off at Kusiak, he could
restrain himself no longer. Gordon
saw Wally talking with her. Meteetse
IDENTIFY had an address written upon it,
for the little man pointed out TO her
the direction in which she must go.
Since leaving Kusak nearly two
weeks before, no word had reached
Gordon Of Sheba. AS soon as he had
finished dinner at the hotel, ne walked
out to the Paget house and sent in
his card.
Sheba came into the hall to meet
him from the living room where she
had been sitting with the man she eX.
pected to marry next week. She gave
little murmur of pleasure at sight of
him and held out both hands.
IT was afraid you weren't going to

told him warmly.

From the folds of her shawl she
drew letter. The girl glanced at the
address, then opened and read what
was written. She looked up, puzzled
first at the comedy, fiat-fOoted Indian
woman and afterward at the handsome
little brown-faced papoose. She turned
to Gordon.
"This letter says I am to ask this
woman who is the father Of her boy
What does it mean?"
Gordon knew instantly what II
meant, though he could not guess who
had dealt the blow. The impulse TO

spare her pain was stronger In him
than the desire that she should know
the truth. --a --.-..
"Send her away" he urged. Don't
ask any questions. She has been sent
to hurt YOU"
A fawnlike fear flashed into the star:

II am afraid So"
"But-why? I have done nobody
any HARM" She seemed to hold even
her breathing In suspense.
"Perhaps some Of Macdonald's enc
miles," he suggested.
And at that there came star.dash
into the soft eyes and a lifted tilt Of
the chin cut fine as cameo. She
turned proudly to the Indian woman.
"What is 1t that you have to tell me
about this boy father?"
Meteetse began to speak. At the
first mention of Macdonald's name
Sheba's eyes dilated. Her smile, her
sweet, glad pleasure at GOrdon's arri-
val, were already gone like the fame
of q blown candle. Clearly her heart
was a-fiutter, in fear of she knew not
what. When the Indian woman told
how she had first crossed the path Of
Macdonald, the color famed into the
cheeks of the Irish girl, but as the
story progressed, the blood ebbed
even from her lips.
With q swift movement Of her fin
gers she flashed on the hall light. Her
gaze searched the brown, shiny face Of
the little chap. She read there an af-
fldavit Of the truth Of his mothers
tale. It was impossible to see him
and not recognize Colby Macdonald re-
incarnated.
"What is your manner" asked Sheba
suddenly.
The youngster hung back shyly
among the folds Of the Indian woman's
skirt. "Colmac," he said at last softly.
Gomez Sheba flung open the door
of the living room and ushered them
in.
Macdonald, pacing restlessly up and
down the room during ner aDs nee,
pulled up in his stride. He stood frown-
ing at the native woman, then his eyes
passed to Elliot and fastened upon
him. The face of the Scotsman was
grim as that Of hanging judge.
Gordon started to explain, then
stopped with shrug. What was the
use? The man would never believe
him In the world.

promised his rival. There was a cold
glitter in his eyes, sudden flare Of
the devil that was blood-chilling.

"You're a-squaw man. You belong

Nothing of the kind. That's been

"Ended?" Sheba drew Colmac for

It had been the intention Of Mac
donald to go direct from Sheba to his
office, but the explosion brought about
by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for long tramp. He was in
a stress of furious emotion, and until
he had worked off the edge of it by
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza-
ton Of the town stifled him.
Hours later he strobe into the office
of the company. Wally lay asleep in
a swivel chair, his fat body sagging
and his head fallen sideways in such a
way as to emphasize the plump folds
of his double chin. His eyes opened.
They took in his chief slowly. Then,
in a small panic, he jumped to his
feet. :.
"Must "a been taking thirty winks,"
he explained. "Been up nights good

"What doing?" demanded the Scots
man harshly.
In hurried attempt to divert the
anger of Macdonald, his assistant
made q mistake. "Say, Mac! Who
do you think came up on the boat
with me? l wondered if you knew.

He stopped. The big man was glar-
ing savagely at him. But Macdonald
said nothing. He waited, and under
the compulsion Of his forceful silence
Wally stumbled on helplessly.

PARIS, Aug. 23.--The work of the
French aerial forces in the fighting
south of the Disc is praised by the
newspapers. The Petit Parisien says
that the capture of the towns of Bailly
and Carlspont was due in great part
to the work of the airmen who destroy
ed numerous conveys on the Noyon-
Compigne road and spread confusion
in the enemy ranks. The tanks op-
ened the way for the offensive, it is
declared, and the bombing airplanes
hurried the enemy retirement.

Over 25-Mile Front
British and German armies are lock
ed in a mighty battle today over a
twenty-five mile front from Lihons, SIX
miles south Of the Somme river, to the
Cojeul river. southwest OF Arras.
This combat, which began with the
British attack against the enemy po
sitions east of the Ancre river on
Wednesday, now has spread into one
Of the greatest battles OF the allied
offensive In Picardy. 1t Is officially re-
ported from London that the British
are making progress at some points
and that German attacks east of Beau
court, at about the middle OF the battle
front, were repulsed.
The British apparently still are on
the aggressive along the whole line.
French troops have occupied the
southern banks of the Disc and the
Ailette between Sempigny. south OF
Noyon, to the railroad bridge west OF
Coucy-le Chateau.
Face Bitter Resistance.
Most stubborn have been the com
bats on the front north of the Somme
and Field Marshal Haig has had to
face bitter resistance all along this
L.
ever, and his success around Albert
probably will prov ide leverage to push
the Germans farther east north and
south of that sector. North of the
Ancre, the British and Germans are
struggling violently for possession OF
towns along the Arras-Albert railway
and the ARA Bapaume road, but the
British have held to their gains.
ifol N
the Germans at present are those from
Roye to Noyon and that northwest OF
Scissors If the first should waver
north to the Somme would have to be
readjusted. The salient northwest of
scissors possibly is most important
because if it should fall the French
would have the heights Of the Chemis.
Des-Dames outfanked and be in a po
sition to menace Laon. Continued
French pressure on this salient would
appear TO have the effect of forcing
the Germans to retreat from the Nesle
within a few days at most.
American troops north of the Nesle
have increased the security OF their
positions by cleaning out an important
point north of Fismes. The Germans
attempted counter-attack but were
thrown back with losses. Along the
rema inder of the Vesle, the allies
pressure is being maintained.
Advance in Lys Salient.
In the Lys salient in Flanders. the
British have made further progress.
East of Merville, they are approach
ing Neuf Berquin. North of Bailleul,
where the line turns northeastward,
the British have pushed forward on a
front of one and a half miles.
German newspapers are admitting
