But hereupon, with her two hands
still prisoned in his, and with the
tears yet thick upon her lashes, she
threw back her head. and laughed
with her eyes staring into his.
Thereat Barnabas frowned blackly,
and dropped her hands, then
caught her suddenly in his long
arms, and held her close.
BY God" he exclaimed, I'D kiss
you, Cleone, on that scornful, laugh
ing mouth, only-I love you-and
this is a solitude. Come away!"
"A solitude" she repeated; Eyes,
and he sent me here to meet a
beast-a satyr! And now-you! You
drove away the other brute, oh! I
can't struggle-you are too strong
and nothing matters noW!" And so
she sighed, and closed her eyes.
Then gazing down upon her rich,
warm beauty, Barnabas trembled,
and loosed her, and sprang to his
feet.
81 think" said he, turning away
to pick up his cudgel, Il think--we
better-go."
But my lady remained crouched
upon her knees, gazing up at him
under her wet laShes.
"You didn't-kiss mel" she said,
wonderingly.
"You were so-helpless!" said
Barnabas. And 1 honor you because
it was-your brother"
"Ah but you doubted me first, you
thought I came here to meet that
-beaSt!"
Forgive me-" said Barnabas,
humbly.

Because I love you"

she sighed.
But T." said BarnabaS, IT am the
last, and it is written the last shall
be first and I love you because you
are passionate, and pure, and very
brave"
Love-" she exclaimed, $50 soon;
you have seen me only once!"
Eyes" he nodded, cit is, therefore,
to be expected that shall worship
you also-in due season."
INSTALLMENT THIRTY THREE
NOW Barnabas stood leaning
y upon his stick, a tall, impas-
sive figure; his voice was low, yet it
thrilled in her ears, and there was
that in his steadfast eyes before
which her own wavered and fell;
vet, even so, from the shadow of
her hood, she must needs question
him further.

Again she was silent, while one
slender hand plucked nervously at
the grass.

quired at last.

"Ah, you mean to-force prom

NO"
why not?"
Because it is night, and you are
solitary; would not have you fear
me again. But I shall come to you,
one day, day when the sun is in
the sky, and friends are within call

And if I refuse"
Then shall wait"
Until I wed another?"
Until you change your mind"
"I think I shall-refuse YOU"
''Ineed, I fear it is very likely"
"Why?"
Because Of my unworthiness;
and, therefore, I would not have
you kneel while stand"
And the grass is very damp" she
sighed.
SO Barnabas stepped forward with
hand outstretched to aid her, but, as
he did so, the wandering singer was
between them, looking from one to
the other with his keen, bright eyes.

FOREST FIRE PRECAUTIONARY
MEASURES NOW UNNECESSARY

Due to the extremely dangerous fire
hazard existing on forested areas dur
ing the season just ended, it was de-
cided early in July by the forestry
officials that certain restrictions intend
ed to prevent the careless and accident
al starting of forest fires would be
necessary.
Accordingly, the mo Smoking re-
striction and the Shovel, Axe and
Bucket requirement were placed in
effect at that time Since the danger
of disastrous fires occurring is past
for this season, these restrictions af-
fecting people desiring to enter the Ma
tional Forests are removed effective
October l.
Local forest officers are unanimous in
their appreciation of the cooperation
and carefulness shown by local users
of the forests, during the hazardous

Neat Sum Turned Into
District From PulpwOod

Further evidence of the value a de-
veloped pulpwood industry would have
to this district is found in information
given to the reporter this week by r
W. Billings of the forest service. Mr.
Billings states that about Is men have
been employed during the summer in
the Troy district getting out pulpwood
for Perry Wilson, who ships the wood
to the papermill at Wildwood, near Spo-
kane. Approximately $4,000 has been
paid to these men in wages this sum-
mer, states Mr.. Billings, and of course
this money is put in circulation in the
district to meet the living expenses of
the men receiving it.

large industry of this nature would
mean to the district

WINTER PLANS FOR CCC.

The peak of Civilian Conservation
Corps enrolment has been reached al
1863, 1888, of which 5000 are in the Ninth
Corps Area and approximately $500
still in the Fort George Wright district
The total includes 284,125 between the
ages of Is and Is. 1925 war veterans
$3.50 local experienced men, 1486l
Indians, and 2,377 in Hawaiian, Porto
Rican and Alaskan camps.
Present plans call for the mainte-
nance of the CCC at full strength dur
ing the fall and winter months, ac-
cording to official information from the
Emergency Conservation Corps head
quarters in Washington, .. c.
Juniors, local experienced men and
veterans whose service in the Con-
servation Corps has not exceeded the
fifth quarter may re-enroll for addi-
tional periods Those states having
shortages of veterans will have their
quotas filled from other states The
quotas for states in the Ninth Corps
Area, of which Fort Wright is a part,
will remain unchanged with the excep-
ton of additional LENS. The LEM
quota for the area will be raised to
$500 men.
All men who were exempted from
the ordinary provisions regarding time
limits of service in the corps on June
30, 1884, will be allowed reenrollment
privileges.
Nearly $50 camps are being built for
winter occupancy in the Western states.
The total number of camps for the win
ter is expected to exceed 1910. including
III camps formed for drought relief.
Seventy-two camps of an average
strength of 225 men will be transferred
from northern to southern areas for
the winter. Eighty -four additional COM
panies will be moved to new locations
in their present districts.
Only six camps will be transferred
from the Ninth Corps Area to the east.
Two of these. Company COS, Camp F-63,
Republic, Wash. and Company $40,
Camp F-2, Metaline Falls, Wash, are
from the Fort Wright district.
Expenditures of $140O,000 on lumber,
hardware, roofing and electrical mater
ials will be necessitated by the mass
transfer. Additional expenditures will
probably raise the total $125,000 Esti-
mates place the amount of lumber to
be utilized at we'll over 100000
board feet.
The organization, maintenance and
development of this huge conservation
army together with all its movements
and activities represents one OF the
great peace-time accomplishments OF
the United States army

miners" on Gee Projects in Forest
Men Scattered Over Wide District.

When Company 1347, Captain R.
Arnett commanding, arrived on April
16 they occupied the site of old Camp
FIT, three miles northwest OF Troy.
Here the forestry personnel under
Camp Superintendent Frank Akridge
and camp officers began the organiza-
ton whose members are known as
"Fortyniners'
It was apparent that the camp site
was far removed from the center of
the work projects outlined. A new site
was selected, and cleared of under
brush on Keeler creek 10 miles south
east of Troy and the present camp con-
structed.
The present camp was occupied on
May "a, 1884, and Capt. Arnett relieved
of duty to return to the marine base
at San Diego. Capt. J. c. Smuck, took
over the command at that time.
The splendid cooperation between the
camp commander, Capt ]. c. Smuck,
and Camp Superintendent Frank Ak
ridge can be shown in resume of the
work accomplished and records estab-
lished.
All original work projects have been
completed an entire new group assigned.

in the equivalent mileage of the Fort

tire month of August the company
fought fire when the percentage of men
turned over to the forestry reached a
new high mark, believed to be record
for the county, of 1870 and $3.50 re-
spectively for the first two weeks.
Despite fires, enought progress has
been made on new projects to place us
in second place for the past month. If

eliminate further fire hazards all prof.
ects will be resumed
