It was late fall there was no feeling
of the death of the year On tho con

hurry and work beginning with tlie
advent of the rains. The tidewater

with thick grass and water growths
along Its edges. The Btranger uneon

One of the new owner's first Impres

Sometimes, to be nuro, It was only a
littlo Oregon mlf.t that saddened tho
night outside, but It had tho sumo
died on tho young man from the
midst of life In New fork.
He was Mast and he knew It. Also,
the men had known It from that first
speech In the doorway of the cook
shack. They spoke of hlra among them
selves as "Dlllingworth," accompany
ing the word with grins, taotlnj its
flavor u delicately as any bespec

Nowhere In the world Is discern

the lumber camps and mills of the
Northwest, amcng that floating gentry
of the pike and peavcy, the kneo-Iared
boot and the "turkey." who pass here
nnd there with the seasons, picking
critically nt the speech and doings of
many places.
Also, nowhere is there a stronger
prejudice against any manifestation ot
personal superiority, any exploitation
of what may lie cast of tho Cascades.
To them the man and the place are
one East nnd Easterner.
They felt for him that contempt
which only tlie seasoned feel for the
Inexperienced. And with the quick
tiers which was his characteristic, the
new owner sensed the feeling miong
them It only added to that Jumble of
sensations and Impressions which had
crowded thick upon him from the first
am! which he had had no time to
assort and get under control. He had
simply laid them away for future at
tention. In the meantime ho went quickly at
tho work of settling himself In the
new environment. A load of lumber
was brought up tho slough on the
punt from the mill at Toledo and four
men were put to building a small of
fice. It was set at the edge of the
slough, a bit below the cook sbac'.c
where it commanded from Its two east

reading donkey, the leg trail and the
rollway and from the southern one

track and the lower rollway, where

perhaps to the mill at Toledo, perhaps
to be laced together with mammoth
chains, built Into a great raft and
towed out to tho ocean to voyage
a'ong the coast, down to southern Cal
ifornia or up to Portland. A tiny,
wheezy tug fussed about the backwa
ter for the express purpose of starting
the monster rafts out on the ebb.
Inside tho new olllco were Installed
a roll-top desk, a case of books, a map
or two nnd several chairs, beside a
small stove. He.-o, with the four pine
walls around him, Walter Sandry at
last looked around and called himself
ut Lome. Tho drawers of the new
desk were full of documents and mem
oranda, the history, with statistics and
records down to the minutest detail
of the Dilllngworth Lumber company.
These he sit himself to master as his
(irst step toward the vast golden goal
of the dream that had brought him
west.
Very shrcw-lly he decided to take
nothing out of the capable hands of
Lis foreman. Thero had been n sort of
tense pause In the camp pending this
development. When It became appar
ent thnt things were to go on as
usual the work went forward as If
a line had been loosened.
Pig John Dflly had gone about dur
ing tho few days of uncertainty with
the unruffled calm of his quiet nature,
though there was a small, a very small
ache somewhere Inside him. Ever
since he could remember, his Ilfo had
been cast In Daily's lumber camp
when his father, old John Dally, had
logged with oxen on tho eastern slopes
of the Coast range and there was no
Jerkwater railroad In to Yaqulna hny.

had not thought of change.
When Walter Sandry settled quietly
down with no voice In tho doings of
the camp. Dally drew a good breath
and went ohend once more.
As for the new timber magnate, he
sat down nt the new deBk on the first
day of his occupancy of the little office
on the slough's edge and wrutd Lis
first letter.
It was on a printed letterhead:

As he wrote these words tho young
mane bright blue eyes softened like
a woman's nnd a grim line settled
about his lips'. He knew, on the word
of the greatest specialist of two conti
nents, that the dignified old gentleman
to whom they were addressed, a white
haired gentleman with the finest hear
ing nnd the gentlest heart, tied ir-evo-rably
to an invalid chair, had at the
most but a scant year to live. Yet he
wrote of hope and travel and return
ing health, wrote determinedly with a
force that must communicate some
thing of its light to the lonely wreck
left by the tide of life stranded at the
edge of that mighty, flowing stream,
the metropolis.
Ho finished the letter with a com
mendation so tender, r,o indicative of a
great affection, that It did not Bound

rather like a daughter's to an ailing
mother, signed, sealed anil damped It.
nnd sat for many minutes holding it In
his hand staring hard with drawn
brows nt the yellow pine of tho new
walls. Again tho faint rhadow of sad
ness, of regret, flickered from the past
across his features. Then ho sighed,
roso with his graceful quickness and
straightened his shoulders. As he
closed the desk and stepped from the
office he felt that he had gathered up
the reins of the new life.
CHAPTER V.
Wild Blood and Horseflesh.
The fall drew on apaco. Sometimes
tho austere gloom of the mighty coun
try thrilled Sandry with a strange
compelling; oftener It hold him at a
dripping window with a load of lead
on his heart. He had no companions
John Dally, easy, simple, suggesting
tried force, was his only comfort. In
him he found something vnguoly fine,
as the plain littlo stone at t'.ie bottom
of clear waters takes on a certain
simple beauty. They spent an occa
sional evening together In the little
office, talking of the work, nnd the new
owner asked and learned many things.
Into the amplo heart of white-haired
Ma Daily Sandry had stepped that first
night, wholly without intent.
"He speaks like a man." she opined
decisively, "an' you mark my words
he'll prove hlmsolf so, if his hands are
white."
Of the girl Slleti he had scarcely
taken a moment's notice. He did not
even know that when she served him
silently at the oilcloth covered table
the two long braids were tied togeth
er nt the nape of her neck so that by
no chance could they fall against his
hand. . Neither did he know that the
dog Coosnah watched him always with
pale eyes. Of these two ho knew less
than of any other3 In camp with whom
he had as much to do. As for tne girl

dog silent witb a common consent
like wild things of tbe woods, sought
the wind swept top of tbe great stump
on tho western ridge. Here Slleti
looked down on the drooping slope
and wondered of the cities and Ihe
sea. He bad come from them both.
She bad never seen a man like blm.
His clothes were different. I lis speech
was unlike. So were bis bands, white
and fine grained.
Also thero was another of bis pos
sessions that she knew In every line
and turn, Black Bolt, tbo splendid
horse that stamped and whinnied with
Impatience In the lean-to behind the
filing shed. She could no more let him
alone than she could refrain from lying
down to drink from a mountain rill
He called to her blood with Irrenlst-
i,le force. Day after day she crept
shyly to tho lean-to and dreamed,
watching tbe slope and the log trail.
"Ob, you beauty!" she whispered
with a soft hnnd on the arching neck.
"Oh. you beauty of the world! God
made you strong to sorve and bcautl
ful to bo loved!"
And at that moment, on that par
ticular day. Walter Sandry stepped
Into tho duerway of the ntati-lo. At
his foot on the sill the girl whirled
upon him. her dark eyes wide with
fright nnd confusion.
"11 " she Btammercd llko a child.
Sandry looked at her for tho first
time keenly.
"You are fond of the horse?" he
asked.
But her tongue clove suddenly to
tho roof of her mouth and one of the
Inherent silences that sometimes fall
upon her shut her lips.
She dropped her eyes, twisted her
fingers In Illr.ck Colt's mano, and then

swift, went past him, running toward
the cook-shaci;.

"Queer youngster," said Sundry to
himsolf.
That night after supper he enme out,
contrary to his curtom, from the little
south room with its patchwork qull(i,
.its crocheted mat and its antique
lilble, into the big eating room.
He found Ma Daily rocking In the
little chair, her tired old hands lying
comfortably on tho Portland Weekly
spread out on Iit slanting lap. Tbe
wall lamps In their tin reflectors sli
vered her white hair exquisitely nnd
brought out softly the Miousand kindly
creases on her rudd" face.
On the end of the Pnch drawn up
to the stand Sildz was sitting, weav
ing a mat of long grasses, and ber
lingers were deft as an Indian's.
Behind her on tho bench lay Coos
nah, head on paws, eyes blinking
sleepily.
"Corao In, Mr. Sandry," said tho old
lady In her rich volco. "Draw up a
chair. We're restln'."
He sat down and bent a smllo as
brilliant as his bluo eyes on this hardy
old mother of the wilderness. From
the first he had felt her personality,
though he had no time to pay uioro
than a passing attention to It.
"I should think you'd need It." ho
said. "How do you nianago to keep
up tho stroke ?'
"Law bless you!" she laughed eas
ily, "I ben trained to It. I've cooked
In camp, young man, for forty-two

"Then you've seen the growth of the
country the coming of railroads, the
making of towns."
"Right from the bottom up. Seen

"You've witnessed the Inroads cf

"Yes, an' It hain't toched yet. I've
