Shu fell silent a moment, standing beside him. t "The w inds of God arn heavy on my soul, Sundry," sh-j said at last, ear nestly, "and they tell me that you are sad. What can I do oh, what can I do to help?" There was In her voice the simple cry of a sympathy f.o Intense that it was anguish, and Sundry's Hps tight ened in the darkness. Tor a heady moment he could scarce ronlHt the bidding of the lawless thrill that she w:;s ever capable of sending through him. to take her Into his arms as he had done that day when alio beheld the sea. Hut a tardy thought of Miss Ordway Uut his hands upon themselves nnd Fteadiel his voice. Ho put his hands upon her shoul ders and turned her round. "Co hack to Ma Pally, child," he said, hut his voice had fallen to a whisper, a whisper that was a care?b laden ns heavily with wistful sadness as a whKper might be, "and don't fret I am nil right." Without a word, obedient to him as the primal woman ever Is to man. Siletz went away In tho night toward the cook-shack. As she passed up the path f.he al most brushed the garments of Poppy Ordway, standing In rigid silence, her hands shut In the folds of her gown, her rose lips ashen, h -r eyes strained wlili;. "Fool!

Pur Poppy Ordway had heard the ca rcss of that lowered voice. The new passion in her took fright, and a furi ous, choking rage font the blood hot upon her heart. The next morning he found upon his wiiidow-ledgi a handful of fern nnd a splay of tiny, yellow, waxlike (lowers that were beginning to show whero the little htreams tore down the moun tains, lining their rocky beds. lie took them in and put them away In a drawer among his papers, silent voice of a sympathy that was a.-i delicate as it was strong. That morning when Poppy Ordway encountered Siletz tho bright smile Bhe gave her covered a sudden hatred that bad sprung, full grown, from a man's low whisper; and the bad times that followed for tho girl had their Inception then. CHAPTER XVI. The Big Raft On tlm fourteenth of March tho wheezy tug pulled tho great, brown cigar-shaped monster that meant so much to Sundry and tlio fortune& of the Dillingworth from its moorings out to the narrow, ilcep neck of the hay tiiat would take It to the sea S.andry for rno first time In 1:1s life felt the slow, sliding motion as the great oval door responded to tho screeching tug and the ebb tide.

A number of people have been work Ing of late years to polve the problem of constructing a vehicle capable of traveling upon both land and water.

This "land motor bont" resembles an ordinary touring car In appearance ex rept that the body Is rather higher But besldet. Its wheels. It Is provided with t propeller placed at the rear Tie power nf the motor can be witched from tha running gear to the propeller screw and vice versa. It Is built so as to take quite steep grades with ease.

Out Hampden had no notion ot meet ing John Dally In his present mood and It seemed as If all was to go smoothly. As the raft drew majes tically abreast of the mill at Toledo tho Yellow Pines owner was conspicu ous on tho dock, though he did not ap pear to see anything beyond the pile of ruw, bright lumber he was marking. Ills llorld faro wore a sardonic grin. "John," paid Sundry, "it's a wonder Hampden didn't do something, surer to hinder us Jam the bay with logs or llu us up some way." ".Might, only Pve had John Teeter pole an' Klamath Sam walkln' th' shores fer llvo days an' they'te the two worst Slwashcs on th' reservation. Hampden knows they're workln' fer S'letz. an' that when I said shoot or cut they'd shoot or cut cf It took four years an' a dark night to do It." Thut first day drifted by very swift ly, soft and sunny between showers, and by four o'clock the ebb of tho tide, grown slower nnd slower, had ceased altogether. Tally nnd the rest tied tip the raft, head nnd tall on both sides, u.-lng heavy steel ropes and chains, to which they gave plenty of slack. They cooked supper ashore and Par dry thought he had never tasted better fare. Aftcrwnrd they lay about the lire nil together, smoking, and only the silence of the Siletz marked the line of color. Triumph filled the heart of tho young financier and his last drowsy thoughts were of tho steamer that was even now plowing down from Portland to meet them, the huge check that would follow his delivery of tlio logs how ho would lift a certain mortgage ot tho load that hung upon the Dilllngworth, Its greatest menace in point of time. Ho waked to see the heavy chains drawn taut, to hear tho mass of tim bers creaking and grumbling as It strained upstream, nnd knew thnt the tide was In. The Slwash cook waked the men by moonlight lor breakfast. They must be ready to take advantage of the first motion townrd the sea. Tho casting loose, tho slow" Mart, tho moving of tho night shores San dry wished Miss Ordwny might see it it might bo a bit of local color In the mysterious book she was writing In the little south room. His mind 1 ,,('' ...;.'.! "Co Back to Ma Daily, Child." went over that little room. He saw the stand with tho ancient Pible. He shuddered a bit with tho night chill as he saw again the words, "Oh, Ab salom! My son, my son!" Those were the lust words that the mind of the Easterner wero to know for many days. The nose of the raft where he was standing suddenly rose under him like a thing of life. The night opened, flame shot upwa'd from tho dark wuters, Immeasurable sound smote bis eardrums to silence, pain that was unendurable ntretched and tore his limbs. He sailed away Into night and the world was not. Whr u the thing was over John Dally picked himself up from where he had been blown cleur of tho raft and tin) water, landing in a ti.ngle of blueberry vlne3, and screamed a curse at the serene heavens. "Oh, God damn his soul to hell!" he cried, half after tho manner of a prayer; "he's blowed hnr up at last!" In the awful silence that fell In the first moments here set up a great groaning of tho timbers. The wroektid and opened prow of tho raft slewed to the light Jammed Into the shore, and was holding the rest, whllo the more, the bank Is easily climbed, and the Journey continued without more ndc The vehicle has made good under practical tests and Is expected to be particularly valuable for military use It Is so built ns to go well In swnmpy and muddy country.

Fjora here and there voices an swered, some far, some near, and pres ently llgurea crept fearfully Into the moonlight from the matted ferns, gath ering about the foreman. Here one dragged an Injured ankle, another stanched the blood from a ragged scalp with his hands, and there ono wavered drunkeuly from tho full he had got, but all eight accounted for themselves. 'Pioys," said Pally tonsely, "all who can swim got Into the water quick! Sundry was standlu' alone at her nose. It's a hundred to one he's dono fori" No ono asked a question, the Indians accepting with their pathetic futallsm this disaster which would have set the tongues of whlto men flying. Silently the five who wore unharmed except for bruises slipped Into the heavily running tidewater nnd disap peared amid tho flotsam and Jetsam of the long bay which travclud always aimlessly back and forth. The gronnlng of tho ruft grew In vol timo for a few minutes, then subsided as It locked tnd settled. Dully on the more Kgan threshing tho ferns, filling tho night with his stentorian voice as ho called upon Sandry's namo. From time to tlmo bo listened. Then ho lighted a torch and widened his circle, peering Into every covert of fern, bo hind every log, and even searching the branches of tho trees. Ho had seen tho pines hear ghnstly fruit a tlmo or two when a blast of giant powder had gone wrong. After a long time he straightened and his muddy face was blanched. "Dono frr!" ho said aloud to the dunk of tho forest, bitterly. ' Down nn' dono for an' him so damned good for an Easterner!" Uut even as he spoko a cry sounded from the wnter far ahead Another an swered, another and another, as tho Siletz drew In lo each other some where out In the dim moonwash, and ho knew they had found him. So they had a limp body lying bent back across a floating log, tho punrl buttons on Its breast shining and Its bnlr dabbling In tho water. They pushed tho log with Us burden In to shore and big John Dally, wading nut, picked up his employer as a mother lifts a child, carried him back up the bank nnd bent to listen for life In tho still breast. It wos there. The timber man ran a great hand, experienced and gentlo, over tho sprawling arms. "Dusted!" ho Baid bitterly, "legs too! He's crumpled like a broken tule! If I don't take this out ot Hampden, I hope I'll burn In hell!" Ho gathered the scattered blankets from bush nnd tree brunch and laid thu Easterner upon them. Then this simple son of tho big country went oJT by himself Into the shadows to think. What should ho do! Here was his employer, this East erner who wns going through tho or deal by lire to win his right to live and fight in the wild land, and he was all but worsted, down nnd out. Hin life was not worth n copper that coin of which tho lnrge West takes no no tlco and far on tho Bhores of the other ocean wns that old father of whom ho had told Dally In tho quiet talks at night. It would tttke quick work lo get Sandry to a doctor and word should bo sent East nt once. On the other hand, If Sendry should live nnd tho contract had been lost his fight would bo over. Those mort gages cf which ho bad spoken vaguely would bo foreclosed and tho Dilllng worth would become a thing of tho past, tho East Holt go by tho board nnd Hampden would bo supremo In the hills. "No, by heaven, he'd want her to go through dead or alivo, nn' I'll sco her there!" was Daily's ultimatum as he rose from toe log In tho pink dare of sunrise, and could he havo known all thnt Sandry would lose with that con tract nnd tho Dilllngworth his hatred of Hampden would have been deeper still, for Sandry was his friend. He went back to tho huddled Indians nnd the silent figure on Its blankets. "Memmiloo," ho said decisively, "make quick a polo sling. You an' big Illll an' Multoowah nn' JIra Pino treo will take Sandry back to camp. Go first to Tolwdo nn' get Doc Hooker have him do what he can thcro an' go along to camp. Tell him to stay with Sandry day an' night till I get back. Hurry now." Without a word, the four Indians picked out by name set about their appointed task. In less time than a white man would take to begin they had laid clean saplings along blankets' edges, warped a short sprcador at top and bottom to bold the poles the width of a man's shoulders apart, and tho sling was ready. "Now," said Dally grimly, "travol like hell, boys, but carry him soft, for he's broko llko the ferns when a pine falls." Tenderly they lifted the owner of the Dilllngworth and luld him In the hollow of the blonkets. Ills foreman cast one look at him as the Indians swung away on the back trail and turned his face to the PARISIANS IN SOBER MOOD War Has Wrought an Immense Changs In the Life or the "liny . Capital." "Many of the leading French artlr's." says a writer In Cartoons Magazine, "ore ot the front, painting war as It Is Others havo remained nt home to pnr tray little Incidents of Paris. Among the latter Is L. Subattler. for many years cartoonist of l.e Figaro, and who Is remembered for his broad, sweeping stylo In crayon.

Under the veils that sllroud their fares somewhnt drawn by the long vigil one perceives the white hair of a mother, or the blonde or brown locks of a young girl. Some are returning from a night's watch at the bedside ni a wounded soldier; other are on their way to duty as auraes In one ot ubt Jammed raft. He studied the problem from all sides. Then he took his re maining Indiana, for none of them were beyond work from tholr shaking up, got off the mooring chains and snubbed tho monster to the shore pines fore and aft Then he calmly prepared to wait the turn ot the tide. She would loose herself. The damago at the prow was slight. The lift had come a moment too soon to hurt the big raft much. Several of the binding chains at the extremo head of her bad been broken, loosen ing the ends ot the loga which slid downward and apart, giving ber the appearance of a ragged broom. Snamlshta, like all the coast Indl ana, was a good waterman. He of fered to dive for tho broken chalnb and Dally let him go. In three hourJ he had found all the ends, fastened to them hauling lines, which the others used to bring them up, tho breakage was repaired, and Dally was ready to mend tho broken nose as well as be could. Ho needed to clrclo tho loos ened logs with thu chains again, and he went about it In a simple manner. Thcro wns no getting under the raft from tho trout been use ot the Jam against the shore, even It SnaniUUta could havo managed the tide and en dured the tlmo under water. There fore It must be done from the other end. So Dully laid tho chains across the nprnudlng nose, attached a long tow line to the shore ends end dropped them Into tho water. Tho line was then led to the stern, under tho moor ing chains, around and forward to the prow. He then lay down for a needed rest until the sucking green water grew slower and slower und finally stopped altogether. With tho first Insidious movement of the flood tldo tho groaning nnd creak ing set up again throughout the giant, and the foreman was on his feet at once as she began, ulmost impercep tibly, to back out from the shore. The ends of the chains wero hauled up slipped forward nnd fastened securely after the logs bud been coaxed to gether as much as was possible with ropo and peitvey and cant hook. "Ey Jingo!" Bald Dally, "but that was a blast. Tho son-of n gun must have had a wagon-loan o' sticks. An' It was a 'plant,' all right. Must've had some batt'ries nn' a trigger wire. But he hain't Bmurt enough to (lgger out such things. Twn'n't th' right slant, or she'd a bit us amidships an' opened us up propel- an' we'd a gone to sea In pieces." The hours of tho flood tldo were Irk some to him, waiting, wondering bo It fared with Sandry swinging be tween tho Indians, and thinking bit terly of Hampden, who was proving himself a dangerous enemy. But ho thought also of tho steamer plowing down from Portland, which would stand In at Yaquina, and ho knew he would bo ready to turn over the rart In spite of all. "Bo a damn hard mntter to tow by thnt bend," be told himself; "guess we can drift her out an' turn hor tall on." Then ho fell to wondering If San dry would ever know of thu big check, or If It would travel east with him to the old man In tho wheeled chair on Kivcrsldo drive muto nvldenco of tho tenderfoot's first and lust fight I CHAPTER XVII. A Hard Knock. It was a sweet spring day, blue arched nnd fltfululred, with a riot of. bird songs In tho pines when tho little cavalcade boro Walter Sundry up the vivid valley. They, took him up tho slopn and Into the ofiice nnd held him while Si letz flew to tho house for many more blankets to pilo high on tho spring cot, nnd ptesontly they luld him," a sadly broken thing, upon It. Tho color had drained from the dark face of tho girl, and her hands, shut hard, hung tensely In the" folds of her skirt as a silence fell with the casing ot the man upon the bed. "Doctor" she said hoarsely; "doc tor" nnd could gel no further. The doctor had known ber for the several years ho had been In the coun try and ho studied her faco a moment before answering. "Closo call, Sietz," he said gently; "maybe he'll live maybo not." For a mt mont sho swayed upon her feet, flinging her hands across hor eyes, while her breath came In catch ing gasps. "But God sits above the sea!" she cried at last, tragically. "Oh, Father, spare him, for ho Is nn unbeliever!" At this tense moment Poppy Ord wny, who had been watching from the background with pnrted lips and kin dling eyes, stepped forward. "Doctor Mrs. Dally," she aald, "this terrible thing forces mo to speak of something which I nnd Walter also had not Intended to make known at present. I nm Mr. Sandry's prom Iscd wiro and us such I will take charge of him."

They turned upon her in thunder stttcken sllcnco the doctor with a clean amazo, tho ' Indians in stoical quiet, Ma Dally with an astonishment that was only the forerunner of antag onistic reaction. Uut of them all It was tho faco of Siletz, fallen upon ber knees beside the cot, that shook the heart In her. chilled her bold spirit. It lifted itself, panting, white and awful, Its lips where the broken Sign stood plainly out, fallen apart and col orless. The dark eyes stared upon ber with an uncomprehending horror that Irritated ber. "I know something t nursing and wo'll do out best " But here Siletz sprang up to ber slim height and her voice smote the hushed room like the snapping of a taut wire. "No!" she cried In anguished pro tost. "No! He kissed mo and I am hla woman!" They faced each other across the unconscious form of tho man, these two women from tho ends of tne earth, uud war raised its banner between them. Pnnotlcod, the four IndUn shifted gently until tbey stood, a berk ground for tho pallid girl In the rough western gnrb. Miss Ordway smiled, though a hard brilliance came into her face. "Perhaps," she said, "lie has kissed many. It is the way of the outside world." She turned to the physician. "When do you think he will rocover consciousness?" Her cool voice terminated the scene. Sho was mistress of the hour. With both hands extended before her Siletz went blindly out Into tbe sunlight.. She stood a moment, hor rain fssssa "No, by Heaven, He'd Want Her to Go Through." breath coming and going In great gasps, like that of a (loo mortally wounded, and in her eyes wus no light.

Here the girl flung herself on her knees, gripping her braids In savage fingers, nnd for n wild spneo something within ber that she bad never known In all her life arose and shook her. She hnd gone back a thousand years. Blind rage was upon her she wanted to fight ns tho pro historic female fought for her mate. So she knelt nnd rocked In the lust of fury while tlio llttlo clouds sailed In an azure sky nnd the hill streams trickled to the valleys, and suddenly a bird in a high pine top dropped a string of notes, clear, allvory, spar kling, for all the world like the dta mond notes of a flute and Instantly she cowored under them, covering her eyea in instinctive guilt.

Guns are not used in the work except under the supervision ot gendarmes, and then only when oth er means ot disposing ot the game, such ns traps and ferrets, are not avail able. Wherever possible, tho game is taken alive, and transferred to other parts of tho country for restocklug purposes. Ame.ican Meat Products in China.

(FROM THE PEORIA JOURNAL.) Tbe Nobraska State Journal calls at tention to the fact that Uncle Sam's opening ot a 4,000-acre tract in th North Platte irrigation district for set tlement practically winds up tbe "trea land distribution" of the nation. It adds: "Free or cheap land hits been the American safety valve. A population straining tor self-betterment baa bad Its own remedy to go west and grow up with the country. With the government reduced to advertising an opening of forty-three farms, the safety valve may be considered forever closed. The expansive energy tot merly exerted outward, must here-, after work Itself out Intensively. Increasing lond speculation, with rapidly rising prices of land and proportionately increasing dissat isfaction among the landless would Beem inevitable. The tono of our politics and the Intensity of our social problems cannot but be vi tally changod under the strain of dealing Internally with a social pressure which hitherto has had the wilderness to vent Itself upon. "'Land hunger will soon become a reality In this rapidly growing country and the constant pressure of popula tion, Increasingly higher thon the ratio of production. Is bound to bring us face to face with economic problems that we have heretofore considered re mote. The far-sighted statesman and publicist must devoto his thought earnestly to the consideration of these questions If we are to escape the ex tremes which curse the older nations of the world." In the above will be found one of the reasons thnt the Canudinn Govern ment Is offering Kill acres of land free to tho actual settlor. There la no dearth of homesteads of this sire, and tho land Is of the highest quality, be ing such ns produces yields of from .10 to GO bushels of wheat per acre, while oats run from fifty to over hundred bushels per aero. It Is not only a mat ter of free grants, but In Western Can ada are also to be had other lands nt prices ranging from $12 to $30 per acre, tho difference in price being largely a matter of location and dis tance from railway. If one takes Into consideration the scarcity of free grant lands In the United States It Is not difficult to understand why there has been most material advances In the price of farm lands. A fow yenrs ago, Innd thnt now sells for two hundred dollars an acre In Iowa, could have been bought for sev enty five dollars an acre or Icbs. The Increased price Is warranted by the Increased value of the product raised on these farms. The land thnt todiy can bo had In Western Canada at the low prices quoted will In a less tlms than that taken for the Iowa lands to Increase, hnve a proportionate In crease. In Nebraska tho lands that sold for sixteen to twenty dollars per acre seven years ago, find a mnrket at ono hundred nnd seventy-five dollars an acre, for the Bams reason n'von for tho Incrcaso In Iowa landn. Values In these two States, as well as In oth ers that might be mentioned, show that Western Canada lunds are going at a song at their present prices. In many cases In Western Canada today, there are American settlers who real Izo this, and are placing a value of sixty and seventy dollars an acre on their Improved farms, but would sell only because they can purchase un improved land at such a low price that In another few ycnrB they would have equally ns jiood furms as they left or such as their friends havo In the Unit ed Stntes. The . worth ot he crops grown in Western Canada Is of higher valno than those of the States named, no why nhould the land not be worth fully as much. Any Canadian Governmeut Agent will be glad to glvo you Infor mation as to homestead lands or whera you can buy. Advertisement. Keep a-Moving Along.
