So many- Americans now hare per roJ knowledge of Canada that false report! concerning this country are belag continually corrected by Amer icans themselves who know tbo facts, ecd who are too falr-mlndud to let a ftilie statement go unchallenged. A case In point arUes out of a statement supposed to be made by a resident of Alberta, and published recently In the Spokeamnn-Revlew, of Spokano, In which the condition of settlers In this coun'.ry was pamteu in a very Dna way indeed. The writer of this at tack en Canada refused to let his nans be known, so It can be takes for what It Is worth, but Mr. S. L. Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokano, who lived for some years In Western Canada, camo to tho defense of tho country In tho following letter which was pibllched In tho Spokesman Tie lew of Fcbruaiy 11. 1915: "To the Editor of tho Spokesman-Re-Titw: "la Sunday's Spokesman Review was a letter from a man In Alberta to the chamber of commerce, o skint; that something be done to keep Americans from going to Cana.la, nnd savins that that government was run by the rail roads, bau'KS and manufacturers; that once a man gt there he aever could got a. ay.

High above, the pine tops Bang wlih a roar, soft-voiced but far reaching as thuni'cr. Mystery and loneliness preened upon the wilder ness like a finger. It quivered the j sharp cars of liluck Folt. pricked for ward, listening, it padded the fert of Coosnah running ahead In the trail but upon Silctz Its touch was tost She, ton, vas of the forest on a night like this: she, too. was free of Its hid den paths. Hour after hour thev threaded the familiar way. and pres cut ly the forest lightened, fell aw ay left them at the steep shore of the Silctz river, gurgllnj along lu the darkness, swift and shallow. Fields and pastures lay here upon rt$ht and left nnd cabins stood squat In Ihe shadow's. Tills was the headnuar ters of the reservation. Through ihe small settlement, up a lane and across a woods-lot went the trio, and pres ently S 11 -t z drew rein where a sorry shack crouched forlornly beneath a mammoth fir. The sound brought to its door a bent figure that came and stood at lllack Dolt's bead like a shadow. Siletz spoke In Jargon. Blld down, trailed the reins on the cartb and en tered the little house. An hour later she stood against Ha closed door, facing a dusky circle of squatting figures, ber trim form straight In the lamplight, ber shirt open a bit at the throat, her slim bends ointment In quiet gestures. Near the pine table that held the fitful light ttood old Kolawmle, splendid Illustration of the white man's ways. He niiKhi have been fifty years of aqe, he tui;;!it have been a hiind-red. Pure bleed of chiefs ran In his veins and he had memories of the time when the Oregon country reached from the northern sound to the vulley of the Sacramento. About him gathered a .silent circle, young men who could ?peak pood llnglirh and write essays on the evolution of man, older ones who accepted the modem modes with reservations, and a few like hlmsolf of the ancient time. To them Siletz wa3 speaking. "Trouble has fallen upon the Night Wind." she said sweetly, "and she comes to her friends for help. Sandry at the camp Is deserted by his men. The camp falls, the work Is stopped, the engines are silent at thtlr posts. and a big contract that means much Is ready to be lort and Hampden of the Yellow Pines laughs tu glee, for he has done this thing. Men there are not In the country and to go to Port land means loss of time on the great contract. Therefore San dry alts with his head In tils hands Ihus " j With swift art she bent her dnrk j hind forward upon her palms, drooped ; her slim shoulders, and Instantly Do- spair loomed before the dusky circle. ' "For which the heart of S'letz Blck-, ens for (.he Is Sandry's woman." Th:ire was silence for a spuco. The girl was un artst. "She would help Mm. Therefore she co-Ties to her friends, whose hearts are large with friendship, though their har.da are soft with leisure. The SI i letz need not work. Will they give the fr.e gift of labor for the Nlht Wind's man?" It was a bcnrt-Fpeech. It was In Jar gon r.r.d It was successful, for with 1 tho early dawn, blue gray with mist and mm shut w ith crimson. Sandry, who had riot slept, standing with fur rowed brows on the olllre step, beard sounds of hoofs at the valley s head, lie looked and beheld a cavalcade of horsemen, riding with ease on their ragged ponies, and led by Silrtz upon P.lack Dolt, who fit ill rtepped proudly after his day-Lnd night's Journey white Coosnah rolled with swinging ears cl bis side. "Here.'' said the girl as she rode up. "they will work for the big contract." And she slid down with a little sigh of weariness before Eatidry could of fer bis arms. "Gosh!" said Dally to himself n the shadow of the office "the Slwashes!" "Mr. Sandry " he said to the owner when the long tables were filled In every place with the best of the van IshltiR tribe that Siletz could pick.

Put It did not take his majesty. It took only the word of Kolawmle, who had given a command which a quiet half breed wbo seemed the leader of the crew artlessly repeated to Sandry "We will work till the contract's saved." he aald: "In giving to you we give to S'letz, who Is your woman." And Sandry, astounded beyond meas ure, opened his mouth and closed It without speech. And It was work Indeed for all. Sun dry himself, as he had grimly threat ened once, "learned bow" and tended hook. Collins took Hastings' placo at the roadlng donkey, selecting a slim, brown boy 8b fireman, while the fore man proved bis worth a dozen times over, by being everywhere at once, by filing things down to the mom rigid system, by planning, executing, finishing, with the band and rulud of an artist. It would have boen controry to hu man nature If Sandry had not fait a thrill of triumph when he neit ran across Hampden at Toledo. Tho Yellow Pines owner grinned. "Slwurhes?" te said lusoloutly. "81 washes!" "Yes " flamed the younger man, "SI washes but I have live million feet of logs at the mouth of my slough! I'll float my contract on time. Mr Hampden and then I'll look Into the little matter of my Fast Belt." That day be got bis first loiter from Poppy Ordwny. It was heavy and satiny and It breathed an Insidious perfume. Also It was brilliant with excitement and hinted nt great things. "I'm certain Hampden's crooked." Bho wrote; "I've found a man who knows blm and he's In tho cornmls slor.er's ofllce. He's young and he's susceptible and tie thinks I'm one of the 'ring!" Oh. but It's exciting. I "passed him a tip' Isn't that the wny you men would say It? that I had a 'trap' In view, but that I already had a homestead In Arizona und the thing progresses.

He's offered In my case, specially to como down on the price of my 'patent' two hun dred dollars of course claticf est int-ly ; I'm to say nothing about it to Ihe 'ring!' Ye godst I'm wild with the luck. More later." February was passing. The days of fitful sunlight were becomlug more frequent. The camp was humming with business. Silent, bent on the thing in hand, the Indians worked w ithout need of encouragement. The slowgli was bank full and Its surface was covered from dawn t.i dark w ith a lloor of logs slowly drift lug on every tide downward to the backwater. At the slouch's mouth a huge cradlo Vir.s slowly forming In Its braces. Here the little loading donkey puffed nnd tooted, grappling many-ton lim bers with Its two drag-hooks, placing them here end there.

A timber-sealer, sent down by the Portland firm, was constantly in at tendance. A shack had been thrown up et the head of the raft and a watch was kept by day and night. "We can't truut Hampden a minute. John," said Sandry: "I'm learning sus picion." Indeed he was learning many things.

The Pfeacher had slipped away as silently and mysteriously as he had come, with blessing upon all and a promise to return "when you shall need me, my children." CHAPTER XV. "There Is No Law for a Genius." March camo lu like a lamb with delicate weather, crystal clear and opal bright, and with It camo Miss Ordway. Sandry was glad to see her but the critical point was al hand and be scarce took time to eat or sleop from the groat work of the contract Tho mammoth raft was ready, the largest, according to Dally, that tho camp had ever sent nut In all lis life, and a special boat from the Portland Mills company would lay off Yaquln to receive It on the sixteenth. On tho night of the second. Dnliy caught a glimmer of white on tho lin tel. It wus a paper, stuik In with a thumb-tack. "Watch your raft," It said, "for pow der." That was all, and It was unsigned. Dally told Sandry of ihe incident and showed tho warning. Eo for the remaining nights the great raft was lighted from end to end and four of the Indians patrolled It In shifts, armed with rifles nnd un der orders to shoot at the first sign of trouble. The work went forward rapidly. The Slwashes. born and raised In the tim ber country, knew nil Ilia work of the cump and they needed no driving They were a godsend to Sundry In the pressing days and he came to look upon them with a wide tolerance. "'In serving you we serve S'letz,"' he quoted to hlmsolf, "'for she's your woman.' " And an odd sensation prickled his skin, tingled at the roots of his hnlr. Somo way. eotnehnw, these were Siletz" pooplo these silent, shiftless, well-taught creatures, who made no use of their talents, yet who did bard, unnecessary labor at the cull of tho blood. Thnt night, with the raft nnd even tho two engines und guard and all the length of track patrolled, he came In tired, worn to a thin edge with sleeplessness, tense and taut as a sing ing wire, to moot Mi;s Ordway. She slipped ber hand Into his arm with a little, familiar gesture and turned htm about. "Come along and relax," she raid "you're almost hysterical." "1 believe I urn," said Sandry wea rily, though as he stepped out Into the night, soft already wlih the breath of spring as is the way with the coast country, win-re tho seasons shoulder each other suddenly for p!aco, he looked uneasily for Siletz. "Let's go up to the old rolhvay. It's deserted nnd I have things to tell you oh, many thliifs!" She laughed, her little rippling laugh that was ao soft and rich nr.d It Boothed the man's strained nerves like a nnrcotic. Miss Ordway sat down, or rather climbed up. on a loj that lay bes'de the railway and drew ber gray broad cloth aside. Sandry settled himself beside her and took off his hat. The soft, changed breath of the night air was grateful to him. "Who-cw! I'll be thankful when this 6traln Is over, that raft headed out to sea and my contract fulfilled! I never knew business was so strenuous." MIkb Ordway looked at hlra through tho dusk with admiring eyes. "Put look bow ynu're succeeding! Why. it's great!" "Yea but for how much of It ran I thank myself? Hampden has me In a bad hole about my great Fast Dolt the best timber In the resion and (he base, practically, of tho Dilllngworth's future and but for these Indians I would bo now we'.I, 1 hate to think where I'd havo bevs " "S'h!" said Miss Ordway; "not so fast about that bad bole, instead. Mr. Walter Sandry, we've got your friend Ilnmpden In the deepest hole lie wan ever In in nil his lire. In fact, when we say the word, he'll turn over the Fast Pelt with both bunds." Sandry held out a hand and Mls. Ordwny took It. not after her usual manner of hall-feilow, but with a gentle, proprietary motion. She tapped the breast of her princess gown. "I have right here copies of tilings on sixteen claims, all duly put through by 'cash entry" by as many different men and I know that Hampden owns all these numbers, that be furnished the money tor building the cabins, for filing foes, for advertising, for final proofs ot the land ofllce nnd for the government price of the land. In re turn for all this these bogus entry men your drifting gentry of the spiked boots and the 'turkey' In most cases received four hundred dollars each for the breaking of their faith with the governmenU No wonder Hampden Is rich!" For a long moment Sundry sat In a silence bo deep that ho ceased to turned up rim runs round the helmet obout hulfway down. During a shower or rain the water collects In this rim and runs through a small hole Into me cavity In the helmet Thus the wah.r is collected automatically, and whon the wearer desires a drink he simply turns a very nmull tap at Ihe back ol the helmet and out tlows Ihe water.
