wild, turbulent career. She saw him
with other eyes than Elliot's. The gov
ernment Official admired him tremen-
dously. Macdonald was an empire
builder. He blazed trails for others
to follow in safety. But Gordon could
guess how callously his path was
strewn with brutality. with the effects
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

Sheba accompanied herself. The
voice Of the girl had no unusual range.

the poignant feeling that expresses
the haunting pathos Of her race.

Gordon, as he listened. felt the
strange hunger of that homesick cry
steal through his blood. he saw his
own emotions reflected in the face Of
the Scotch Canadian, who was watch
ing with a tense interest the slim,
young figure at the piano. the girl
whose eyes were soft and dewy with
the mysticism of her people, were still
in spite Of the years that heralded her
a woman.
Elliot intercepted the triumphant
sweep Of DANES glance from Macdon-
aid to her husband. In a flash 1t 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 a fine thing for
the girl. He was a millionaire, the
biggest figure in the Northwest. His
iron will ran the town and district
MS though the people were chattels Of
his. Back of him were some Of the
biggest financial interests in the United
States.
But the gorge of Elliot rose. The
man. after all. was a lawbreaker. 4

vtvor, by reason of his strength, from
the primitive wolf-pack. The very
look Of his hard, gray eyes was domi-
nant and masterful. He would win,
no matter how. 1t came to Gordon's
rebel heart that II Macdonald wanted
this lovely Irish giri-and the young
man never doubted that the Scotsman
would want her-he would reach out
and gather In Sheba just as II she
