V.'bure the track approached the roll way It had been torn up bo'lly. the ties and rails thrown Into tho nnrrow Hiough, as evidenced by a few pro jecting ends, and the rollway Itself, a slanting floor of logs some two feet thick supported on a group of gradu ated piles, sagged In the center where two plies had been cut and pried side wise. Tho lower edge also drooped for the same reason. It had been the work of pure malice, that he saw at a glance. "Collins." ho nald as tho men came up In a sullen group, "get to work and see If you can raise those fawed sup ports and pry them bacn on their bases." Tho gang went slowly down the sharp bank of tho tidewater slouch. "Johnny Eastern." said one softly, "all right, all right! Prize up a roll way' My Aunt Maria!"

"Hadn't wo better Just spike 'em on to tho sides?" asked Collins, with a droll upward r'nnce.

New timbers wore brought down and the slanting Door was thick ly underpinned. Tfcon with pick and shovel tho men went at the work of digging out the damaged timbers. Tho work was heavier, more dangerous and disagreeable by reason of the wnlor, four feet deep at low tide, night at high, which lapped their baBcs. Dally put them at the digging from tho slope side at low tide; but on the second day he stood long runnlrs hi? blunt Angers through bis hair, aa was his custom when perplexed Sandry had come down from tho office and now stood on the track ahovo the rollway looking over the wet country be'ow. At the rollwny'a foot tho sluggish ribbon of tidewater, sullen and discolored, wound up from tho south. To tho north the valley lifted gently toward the camp and tho wilderness beyond. Suddenly, "Dally," he said, "what are you going to do about It?" "I don't Just know. The men can't work In the wnter. and them piles have got to como out. tlut there's a way of doln' It. of course." "Of course." said tho erisUMicr, "and why not go at It from above?" The foreman looked at him Inquir ingly. . "That left bank of tho slough up there Is In the form of a ridge Don't you think wo could set a crew at It at low tide and dig it through, turniug tho water Into the field yonder? That would leave the slough empty here for tho titno between high tides Could you get tho timbers out In a few hours?" Daily's experienced eyo had already taken In every detail of tho possibili ties as Sandry talked. "That's a good scheme, Mr. Sandry," ho Bald slowly. "I bellevo It'll work." So It was that the first, practical sug gestion of the new owucr was set Into action. Tho whole crew of tho camp as brought out of tho hills and set to work and tho damaged rollway was re paired as good as new. the break In tho west bank Idled, tho slough run ning full again and nothing to show for tho trouble but the Hooded Held of tules. Pnder Walter Sandry's cool de meanor there was a small glow of satisfaction, a sense of having In a way redeemed himself. At supper tlmo Siletr., moving bo tween the tables, laughed to herself, softly, and her dark eyes under the little rhadow of her parted hair held a sparkling gleam as If she had seen that con diet and enjoyed It, "Sllctz." said tho owner, coming In suddenly from the cast rorch after tho men had tramped heavily away to the bunkhouse. "whom do you know out Bido this camp?" Sho was alono In tho big spotless kitchen, her sleeves rolled up from her arms, slim and brown with a smooth color that was of tho sun's giving. "Outside the camp?" bIio asked, turn ing to him for a moment, stopped in some task of the aftermath of tho meal, "why nobody." "Don't you ever go down to Toledo?" Sandry was leaning In the doorway, his bright bluo eyes upon her. "Sometimes." "Have you no friends there? No girl friends?" She shook her bead and he noticed tho clean profile, the shapo of the Btnall pointed chin, the good forehead conflicting with a vague suggestion of fleeting wild things In tho velvety eyes "Is there no one with rhora you as sociate outside the camp? Thliu." Suddenly there passed over her fea tures a quick chango. He could liken it to nothing hut a wind on tiie surfaco of water. Just a breath of chango. "Only the Preacher," she paid with a Bwift slurring of softness In her voice. "The Preacher?" "You don't know htm. Ho only comes sometimes He was here Just beloro you came." "Who is ho?" asked Sundry curious ly. "I don't know. Nobody knows. Ilut I love him." "The Preacher," ho raid to himself a little later in the bare south room un der the dripping caves. "H m!

With an odd tooling of truth struck from the page he closed the book and laid it gently down on tho white cloth. CHAPTER VII. Night Wind. From that time forth Bandry began to take a keener Interest In Sllctz For one thing, he noticed that everyone called her 8'letz, with a soft slurring of the first syllable, and he found him-1 self using the name which he thought particularly beautiful. It was the name of the reservation to the north and of a small part of tho odds and ends of tribes thrown In there by I beneficent government. .What was nor other name? lie had always thought of her as Ma Daily's daughter; and yet. now Hint ho came to think of It, she liad never seemed akin to theeafy going, open-minded foremtin who was so like tho old woman She was alien to both with her silences, her whimsi cal speech and her look of hidden tire. One day In the late fall, when tho whlto mist and the evergreen of the forest had got on his nerves unbear ably, Sandry left the ollice and went to the shed for Dlnck Dolt, only to find rm Watr.hcd Her Turn and Ride Down One of tho Mysterious Paths. hlra gone. He had meant to ride ofT the f t of blues. Failing that, ho decid ed to walk It off, and struck up tho wet green valley to the north. Almost Immediately tho tumbling hills closed In upon him and ho found himself In a wilderness of towering j firs, of dripping vine maples and mys terious paths lost In the crowding I ferns. He was standing at rest In a J small glade carpeted with pino nno-1 dies and surrounded with ferns, when he ennght the sound of voices. They came from tho dense wall of the woods at his right and unconsciously he lis tened, tipping his head and straining his ears Presently a look of blank nc3s spread upon his face. One of tho voices wa3 familiar, soft and Eliding with minors, the voice of the girl Sllctz, and sho was speaking Jargon. Even as this amazing knowledge was borno In upon him the tangle parted and Bhe stepped out before him. A Siletz squaw followed her. a short brown creature of comely features, clad In brilliant flannel, a towering pyramid of baskets slung to one shoul der. Nosing eagerly at tho gin's el bow stepped black Holt, while Coos nah brought up the rear. They per ceived him Instantly and the Indian woman turned away with a few gut turals which Siletz answered gently. Hut In the moment that she had con fronted him, SatHry had Been her face and received a shock. Heglnnlng Just under tho lower Hp and running downward to the base ol the chin there stood out three blue bars, each composed ot minutely tat tooed designs. I'riconsclously his star tled eyes Hew to the dark face of mo girl. There, on her lighter Bkln. tell tale In Ita truth of outline, was tho be ginning of tha same mark, broken in its Inception by somo mysterious Hand. For a moment Sandry's head whirled nnd a sort of nausea came over him. Then ho became conscious of her dark eyes, level and calm, upon his fare and a thrill that sent Ihu blood pounding In his veins ehot through him The mighty trees around them, the eternal majesty of the hills under the Intimate gray sky, the girl in her trim, sensible attire of blue shirt, short skirt and boots, with that sudden revelation of tho wild about her. combined to sug seat tbo unreal, the mvsterious. the given hlra tho blackest of oyes In the bargain.

In the flush of the pregnant moment ho laid 1.1a .land un her bare arm un der the rollod up sloeve-bor soft, arm, wet with the mist closing hla lingers strongly upon it For the enchanted present she was romance and mys tery, and Sandry waa beneath Its spll Dut Sllctz looked from hla face down to the band upon her arm. The blood rose slowly In ber dusky cnoeks, and when she raised ber eyes again they were dim with the same look of Intoxication as had come with the mad ness of the rushing wind on Black Dolt's back. "Yes," she said dreamily, "I am the Night Wind. That'a what thoy call me my friends the Indians, tful how did you know" "I didn't. I Just heard tho words In rf.)- ueart. They are right." He did not remove hla hand, and silence foil between them while thoy stood gazing Into each others eyes. Sandry saw tho heavy look In hers, the dull lire that bespoke a very drunken ness of emotion, and In another mo ment be had lost his bead. Without thought, as simply as the first runner of thoso forests took what be wanted, he leaned forward and kissod her. softly, lightly, on her amooth cheek Her eyes darkened perceptibly and bhe covered her face with her Hands. In a sudden great embarrassment Suudry stood silent besldo her. his heart pounding and Ma manhood al ready upbraiding him. Ho aearched his clearing brain for some wcrd of apology, somo contrite expression, but found none, and tho next moment could not In any case have spoken it; for Sllctz lifted hnr fare and It was glorified. The Intoxication had drifted away from her features, leaving tfcem bare in the utter simplicity of the prl meval woman, and there was In them a white lire of self-Burrendor. Without a word nnd Sandry knew Instinctively that sho could not speak sho turned to Clack Dolt, threw the reins over his head, crouched beside him on a little lift of moss ami leaped upward He watched her land on the horse's blanketed back with that In imitable grace of the wild, turn and rldo swiftly down ono of tho mysteri ous paths whoso nodding ferns closod after her. CooBnah. following with a lltho roiling of all his huge muscles, cast a lowering glance backward at tho man. Tho Incident had taken all tha help fulness out of the day and the wilder ness, and Sandry wended his way slow ly back to camp, arriving Just In time forupper. SlleU tended tho table In ber usual silence, but when she reached him sho was constrainedly aloof, as If fearing to break a spoil by a word or touch. Once he looked up at her, striving for recognition, but sho avoided his eyes and to save nis life he could not repress tho wild thrill that had betrayed him In the hills, though ho was conscious of an ger Hushing hot upon It. Ho suffered a very real humiliation In that he had so far forgotten his training, his aense of the lltness or things, as to kiss this wild mountain crcatu.ro. His ances tral blood rose up In condemnation. Tbo next few days were crowded full to overflowing with work and ne laid aside all personal perplexities The first raft of logs, a groat cigar shnped monster, laced together In all Its length and breadth with giant chains, lay In tho backwater at Toledo ready for its voyage Into the world be yond. A crew of river drivers was picked from among tho men and all was in readiness nave for a draft of direc tions which was to be given, alonj with the raft. Into tho custody of Cap tain (Jrurtz of the long duncolored steamer that would stand in across tho bar at Newport on the twenty sixth. Sandry thrilled with contemplation of the great, reddish brown floor, slightly raised In tho comer, sloping gently to tho sides. Its building hud been a thing of wonder to him. It would In all probability scatter to the ends of tbo earth, and Its worth ran v.'oll Into live figures. Ho wutched its departuro, un Impressive matter of j sluggish rising with tho tide, of al most Im.ijrceptiblo motion and then of majestic Bpoed that carried It west ward toward the ocean.
