Macdonald, from his desk, looked up

Of his chief the grin fled.

the haunting pathos of her race.

Och anee!
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 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
luminous with the poetry of the child
in spite of the years that heralded her
woman.
Elliot intercepted the triumphant
sweep of DANES glance from Macdon-
aid to her husband. In 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 fine thing for
the girl. He was 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 were some Of the
biggest financial interests in the United
States.
But the gorge of Elliot rose. The
man, after all, was lawbreaker, a
menace to civilization. He was sur
vivor, 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 if Macdonald 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 coal mine or placer prospect
All this surged through the mind OF
the young man while the singer was

The rich, soft, young voice with Its
Irish brogue died away. The little au
dience paid. the singer the tribute Of
silence. She herself was the first tt

Later in the evening the two dinner
guests walked back to the hotel to
gether. They discussed casually thu
cost of living in the North, the raisin.
of strawberries at Kusiak, and the bes
way to treat the mosquito nuisance
but neither of them referred to tn,
