MEAD ANO COMPANY p SYNOPSIS. r^;. -6- • |* 8ll«tx of Daily's lumber camp directs T A' stranger 10 the camp. Walter Sandry Introduces himself to John Daily, fore­ man, aa "the Dillingworth T.umbcr Co.. or most of It." He makes acquaintance with the camp and the work he has come from the Eas* to superintend and make successful. H> 'Writes to his father that he intends to |J*?t a handful of the wealth In the uncut timber of tlie region. He ffives Silet* permission to ride Black Bolt, his saddle horse. In an emergency he troves to the foreman that he does not Tack judgment. Siletz tells him of the Preacher. He discovers that Siletz t»ears the sign of the Siletz tribe of Indians and Wonders what her surname is. In the flush of a tender moment he calls her '"the Night Wind in the Pines" and kisses her. Poppy Ordway. a. magazine writer from New York, comes to Daily's to get material for a romance of the lumber region. Hampden of the Yellow Pines Co. wants Sandry to keep off a tract of stumpage he claims title to and Sandry thinks he has bought as the East Belt. Hampden sets up a cabin on the East Belt and warns trespassers off. Sandry can find no written evidence of title to the tract. His men pull down the cabin. Sandry compares Si'.etz and Poppy. San- dry's and Hampden's men fight over the dispyted tract. The Preacher stops the light. Sandry finds that the deed to the East Belt has never been recorded. He' decides to get out his contract first and f fight for the stumpage afterward. W:% m . CHAPTER XII. Glimmerings of the Great Game. The work went forward swiftly along the new line. By the end of the week the new cutting was in full swing, the long saws singing, the buckers' broadaxes flashing among the everlasting green, the whole inlaced mass of detail working together. "What do you think of our chances iww, John?" asked the owner. "A-l. Kain't no reason why we lOB't win. Th' Dillingworth," said John Daily whimsically, "she's ben turnlshin' th' goods ever sense I ican remember." "True. But she was in pretty close •traits for cash.

And of course you know she's mortgaged to her neck--the East Belt and. all the northeast stumpage--" Daily shook his head. "I'm gettin' completely mussed up," he said. "Well, she was. Her mortgages ag­ gregated a half million--in three dif­ ferent places. About half of them I paid. The rest Is hanging fire. Frazer, who should have been a mighty rich man, got out with a quarter of a mil­ lion fiat. 1 don't understand him." "Neither do I, but I'd stake my head <>n old man Frazer. Why I've worked for him ten years! He bought in in flighty-nine." "Well, there's a lot of mystery some­ where about, and as soon as I'm at liberty I intend unearthing things." Miss Ordway was working fever­ ishly these days. Her rose-leaf cheeks were flushed each noon wlien she came from the- little south room, and her sea-blue eyes were full of an in­ ner excitement. "She'll make good," Sandry told him­ self, "She's got the dreamer's look, the pride, the joy, the mighty, arrogant egotism. And she's drunk on the at­ mosphere of the wilderness, the lone­ liness, the sense of world's-end." Young and of abundant health, abun- dant vitality, filled with the urge of ambition, abetted by an unusual clev­ erness, Miss Ordway was indeed in the way of great things and she knew it. Also with her clear vision she was be­ ginning to see something else that added to the flush in her cheeks, some­ thing as great as her goal of fame, and She faced it with her high courage and ; j^jpoifidence. This was the meaning to her of Wal­ ler Sandry. About this time she began to widen her range of vision, to see all over the Wild, green country, it seemed to her. and to catch glimmerings of things that sent her to Sandry, so full of vital ;prescience that she was. as a charged Wire in her eagerness and her delight, j" "'Mr. Sandry," she said one evening >.•* they stood together on the foot-log jmd watched the brown tidewater go­ ing down toward the distant sea, "I'm going to tell .you something. I be­ lieve Hampden is crooked as hades. and I'm going after him." "That's funny," said Sandry, "do you know, I've had the same notion?" She stretched out her hand. "Let's go after him together. What '"jflo you "say?" "W-e-ll,"--Sandry took the hand, an v axquisite thing, and held it in his own a moment, warmly, closely--"1 am pleased and flattered by your offer, but I don't just fancy' your knowing this Hampden man. He's--he's coarse and bad. Miss Ordway." "But isn't It worth a little risk? What big thing is ever accomplished without some risk? And think, Mr. Sandry--isn't Hampden trying to ruin the Dillingworth company? In other words, to ruin you?" There was a tingling, suggestive tim­ bre in her low voice, a subtle, flatter­ ing tone that thrilled the young owner strangely. "Miss Ordway," he said admiringly, "as a man's friend you're simply great!" "I may have to make frequent de­ mands on Black Bolt," she said fur­ ther, "for I cannot navigate in your deluged valleys. I'm a poor mariner." "S-s-h-h!" warned Sandry, "you don't want to speak about this climate that way. Why, haven't you noticed that the Oregon mist doesn't wet through?" They laughed together after the fashion of youth and health, though at the last turn of words he felt a vague uneasiness. He remembered Siletz' dark face between her braids and the tears falling on her cheeks. "Poor little girl!" he said to him­ self. And on Thursday of that week another horse made its appearance at the camp, a wiry, long-limbed bay, picked up at Toledo. "This is for you, Miss Ordway," he told the novelist, "so you may come and go at will. No one will have him when you wish to ride. You can al­ ways put your hand on a mount at a moment's notice. Black Bolt is so frequently gone when you might need him." v So it came about that the young woman from the East "went after Hampden," and the sharp, crude man of the hills was to be no match for her. By another week she could not fare forth upon the road to the Siletz. ride into Toledo, where she was a matter of wonder in her beauty and promised Hampden in his saddle and natural opening in over the dropping BIG DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA '? *>1 ' : rC.. . ^Volcanic Ashes From Katmai Delayed Progress of Steamer--Explosion Heard Afar. As we approach Kodiak, strange dark clouds were seen obscuring the horizon at several points and one so heavy and black that it resembled imoke from a great forest Are. Cap- Jensen Startled us by explaining " that this was dust blown by the stiff breeze from the lofty hills all about lis. These hills seemed covered witbr but the whitish deposits proved -ito be ashes, rained down several feet deep upon all this section during thT , eruption of Mount Katruai in June, ^1912. Katmai is still smoking canter on the rangy bay but what Hampden met her--by the merest chance. She was a revelation to him. In his crude way he was soon at the point where he would have laid down his world for hef little finger, and in his loose-fibered soul he swelled with self-approval beneath her notice. What delicate flattery she employed only she herself knew. It was suffl- cient at least, for he unwound to her his somewhat eventful and picturesque life with the simplicity of a child. They rode and talked, traversing the !oneiy ways, piercing the mist, thread­ ing trails where Hampden had to ride close at her side to keep the wet foli­ age out of her face, and she Baw the passion growing in him to the point of idolatry--which filled her soul with rioting laughter. "I'll get it--I'll get it!" she told her­ self, and there was no place in the uni verse so interesting as this rain- soaked country, this land of mysteri­ ous operations. "What are these little, deserted huts?" she asked him one day when they had climbed high on a wooded ridge and come upon a tiny cabin, win- dowless and roofed with shakes. "I've seen several of them." "Homesteader's cabin," he answered "Ah--and where's the homestead? For goodness' sake, did any man ever intend a woman to live here?" "Well," he said reluctantly, "you sen --that is,--no. They don't often come here to live. This here's a snap." "Ah--yes"--there was a note of vague puzzlement In Poppy's golden voice--"and what is that?" "Why, a feller comes up an' takes a claim--proves up on it, you know-- gets his patent--an' then sells out. Relinquishes his right to the buyer " "Oh--and this is only a temporary arrangement." She waved a hand around at the dreary clearing aniong the lesser growth. "The man who built this didn't intend to stay at the beginning. And who was smart enough enough to buy him off when he got tired of staying, I wonder?" "I did," said Hampden promptly, flushing at the imputation of brains. "Easy," said Miss Ordway to ber- Belf. Aloud she said wonderingly: "Well, what do you know 'qjbput that! I fancy you made a pretty pile-- or will--out of such a deal. Mr. Hamp­ den? Just think of the perfect oceans and oceans of pretty clothes even a dozen of these great trees would buy! Pardon--I think in clothes because I love them."

His face was flushed and he sat straight on his horse, his khaki-and- blue-flannel clad figure making a not ungraceful picture against the back­ ground of vivid green. He whipped at his laced boots, wet from the ferns, and presently spoke out of a full heart. "Yes," he said carelessly, "it does take brain s. A man has got to think to make money--an' it takes money to buy the things of this life--pretty clothes, a woman's clothes, Miss Orel-, way. He suddenly leaned over and laid his rough hand over hers on the pom­ mel. "Every tree would buy a dozen trunks full--an' I own millions of trees." *. Her heart was pounding and the sparkle was dancing in her eyes. "Millions? Why, that must cover A great deal of land! Millions of trees?" "Yes--billions," rashly. He rose looked through a •the forest down ridges. "Why, look! All that--all that, as far as you can see, to that other ridge and over beyond it and down into the other valley--Is mine. I'm a rich man. Miss Ordway, an' I got it-- just by this--" He tapped his forehead significantly and smiled. "Truly ^do admire you," lied Poppy with the naivete of sixteen. "Brains-- brains--why, they are nine-tenths of the battle of success and a man with­ out them is beaten at the beginning." "Partner," she whispered to Sandry as she passed him that night in the eating room, "I've been working. Where can we talk a little by our­ selves?" Sandry, looking at her swiftly, saw the excitement in her eyes, and took fire instantly. "Aloqe? Why--let's see. Are you afraid to come out to the forked stick by the road?" In the darkness Miss Ordway laughed--a little, low ripple of mirth, soft and subtle. "A tryst!" she said. In that small, intimate whisper that suggested infi­ nite mystery. "Are we out of earshot here?" "Yes," said Sandry, lowering^ his voice to hers. "Do you happen t^know where Fra­ zer got all the holdings of the Dil­ lingworth? How he got them?" "Why, no," said Sandry wonderingly, "I suppose he bought them, as any company would do." that all this land was government land --that there are still claims lying far back in . the mountains open to filing. But all this fine timber close in--all that has a chance of being got at--has been taken--and have you noticed that all of it, or nearly all, belongs to ei­ ther one or the othor of these two lumber companies?" I "By George!" said Sandry, "I hadn't thought of that!" "And have you noticed that none of Ihese claims seem to have been taken in good faith? That none of the filers have complied in spirit with the home­ stead law? I have scoured these hills She was leaning very near as she whispered this, and ita the burst of mental light which followed her words Sandry put his hands on her shoul­ ders. "You are positively wonderful!" he breathed, "the most wonderful wbman in the whole world. How on earth did you find these things out?" ^ "Hampden." said Poppy with a shrug of her shoulders under Sandry's hands; "he's furnishing data with a ven­ geance." "But why? For the love of heaven, why are you doing all this? I can't just understand." With a little, soft motion, charming In the airy acceptance of its own dar­ ing. the woman of. the world put up her hand and laid it with a caress over the one on her shoulder. Her face, tilted upward in the dark­ ness, shone like a flower and he could just barely see the curving line in her lips, dark against its light. In the mist and the chill the subtle perfume, that always seemed to strike one's senses only after she had passed, suddenly thickened and Sandry beheld on the instant lights and fiowers, gay gowns and evening dress of men--the thousand intimate things and sounds of home flashed before him. Under the touch of her velvet palm his own grip tightened and Poppy Ord­ way, quick to feel her first real en­ trance into his inner consciousness, pushed the stidden advantage. "Why?" she said softly, "why? For-- you. Do you think I, who am trained in investigation"--she halted with a little catch of voice and breath--"who have to dig into every promising situ­ ation because of my--work--could sit by and see that man down you without plunging into the breach? Indeed no. And we'll win, my--friend--we'll win." With an inimitable gesture, at once daring and hesitant, she lifted his hand from her shoulder, brushing It, as if unconsciously, across her cheek, held it a moment and turned away toward the camp.

Nowhere have I seen a cleared field, nor one sign of tillage. Mr. Sandry, I believe we have stum­ bled upon a huge government swindle, a case of land-fraud gigantic in its pro­ portions." Sandry was aghast. "Why, what do you mean? Miss Ordway, do you mean that the companies are crooked?" "Not BO fast. I believe Hampden is crooked, and that possibly Frazer was. For the latter--It is too late and not in our scheme to nail him- But Hampden we'll hang high as Ha­ inan--and that before he can filch the East Belt with its store of wealth." 8tars and Bars. "Stars and Bars" was the name of the flag recommended by the commit­ tee for the Confederate States. The official description from the report of the provisional congress. March 4, 1861, Is as follows: "That the flag of the Confederate States of Ameri­ ca shall consist of a red field with a white space extending horizontally through the center, and equal in width to one-third the «ridth of the flag.

CHAPTER XIII. The Red Bar on the Waters. A day later Miss Ordway packed an expensive bag of real alligator and made ready for a departure. "I'm going to Salem, partner," she said. "If Hampden gets anxious enough to inquire openly, tell him I'm after--clothes." She smiled to herself, thinking of those millions of trees. For Its own sake, the pursuit of Hampden was be­ ginning to enthrall her professional Instinct, but there was a flicker of passion under her lashes, a sleepy look of anticipation, as she glanced side- wine ui. ouuury uu the Biep beside her. "1 may be away a week--maybe a month. I'll drop you a line occa­ sionally." A yearning sense of loss and loneli­ ness gripped Sandry as he took her hand at parting, lending to his clasp an unwonted tightness, and to his voice a sense of huskiness. She was home and the things thereof, this woman who was an orchid among the pines, and with her going went some­ thing he had scarcely realized, yet which he would sorely miss. The camp seemed more than .usually dreary in the days that followed. The fog ribbons twined and twisted con­ tinually along the hills, the pines bioyght their marching ranks closer in upon the shrinking valley, and San­ dry was taken with an acute attack of the blues. "S'letz," he said abruptly as he met the girl one noon at the pump, "will you ride with me tomorrow? It's Sun­ day and we can take a lunch. What do you say?" She did not meet his eyes, her own somber ones glancing down the slough. "Yes," she said quietly. They were up betimes the following morning. Ma Daily cooked an early breakfast and Sandry sat down for the first time with the girl at table. Con­ versation languished until a gentle tread sounded -on the floor and the Preacher came In, his delicate face aglow from the touch of Icy water. John Daily, too, lumbered in at the same moment. "Sleep well, father?" he asked. "As always, son. The hovering of God's hand Is like the sound of many wings--hushing--ah, so hushing. Isn't it so,--ah--ah--I have forgot--" The pathetic, childlike eyes searched Sandry's face in straining Inquiry. "What is it I would remember?" he asked plaintively. "Nothing, father. It is all well." Siletz had pushed back the bench for him. Now she laid her slim hand lov­ ingly upon his and looked in hiB face, a smile curving up the lips above the broken sign. As the two hands lay upon the oilcloth Sandry noticed them --one white and fine veined and shape­ ly, with the sletfder, pointed fingers of a dreamer--the other olive and shape­ ly and with the same slim-pointed fin gers. "Alike," he mused, "how very much alike. Why, they are counterparts!" As he led Black Bolt to the hammer- block for Siletz to mount he hehird snatches of song from the bunkhouse. HUNT HELPS MAKE SOLDIERS Collins was outside, stretching a frc-sb deerhide against the planks. - The owner turned in his saddle and looked back at the camp--his camp-- ar they trotted away down the green valley. It lay snuggled tight against the pine-clad hills, a primitive force in a primitive country, and he thrilled to its suggestion. As they passed the lower rollway he stopped and sur­ veyed the brown slough, a solid floor of logs as far as he could see, even un­ til it lost itself between its low, tule- edged banks. At a natural clearing they reined In to breathe the horses, and Sandry turned to the girl. "S'letz," he Baid, "tell me how it is that you hav% lived all your life so near the ocean and have never seen it, when you have wanted to so much?" The rare smile lighted her face and she turned to him. "I was afraid," she said. "What? Afraid! Afraid of what?" "Of how it might look in truth. I know how it looks In my own pictures. It--it might not--look the same." For a moment the man was silent A factory In which radium is being produced has be«n opened itf Scotland by a Scotch chemist.

"And why now?" he asked curti-usly. "Why do you go now?" "You go," said Siletz as simi^y as Kolawmie would speak in his fcc*«ni- ment cabin at tbe reservation t* fhe north. "You're a great dreamer,. said Sandry. She nouued. The horses, having taken their re­ quired rest, started forward of their own will after the manner of hill-bred horses, and silence prevailed, sav> for the swish and slip of the iroiJ-shod hoofs. It tbok an hour to reach the crest of the range. Siletz had fallen a-dreaming, sway­ ing unconsciously to every motion of Black Bolt, one hand swinging out­ ward as encouragement to" the dog whose anxious eyes were raised from time to time toward it. They traveled steadily, and present­ ly the long roll of *the surf began to sound Insidiously through the thick­ ets of vine maple, to war with the high song of the dominant pines. "Ho!" said Siletz at last, softly, "hear It! Hear it! Hear it singing with a thousand tongues! Ho!--Ho!" Sandry looked swiftly back, an odd excitement taking him at the note in her voice--an alien note, beyond hilt understanding. She had reined up and was sitting erect, her head up high, her lips fallen part, her eyes be­ ginning to glow with a hidden fire. He knew that somewhere in the recesses of her nature a great tide of emotion wsis banking in, full flow. They did not strike Yaquina bay, fc«r the trail led straight west from Daily's, and he knew they would come out ou the great cliffs below the llghthouee on Cape Foulweather. Here the laoi reared Itself--as one who shields him­ self, palms outward--against, the in­ sistent thunder of the sea. They mounted the lifting rise of the cliffs, and stood at the edge of a thin fringe of stunted firs where Sandry tied the horses. Siletz had slipped down at once, and he noticed that she was trembling in every limb. She plunged ahead strongly and Sandry followed, his eyes on her face lest he lose one expression, one small scene of the unfolding of this tlower- soul. Without warning, it burst upon her around a hummock--the great, heaving ocean under a dull Bky--and^ it was gray as her own mist indeed, wide and mysterious and forever mov­ ing in its place, fringed with the roll­ ing surf that broke white upon its sands a hundred feet below. "Gray!" she cried shrilly, "I knew it! A floor under the feet of God!" To the left a steep path, cut by steps In the sandy earth, led Its perilous way down to the beach. Turning swiftly she dropped Into It between its walls and began leaping down. "S'letz!" cried Sandry sharply, "be careful!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) muscle-strengthening, nerve-resting sport, goes far in preparing efficient soldiers, and to this physical condition there is added the practical training in the handling of gun and rifle.

Ind., Jan. 3.--Henry Muessel, general manager of the Mues8el Brewing company,, and his chauffeur, Frank Chrobot, were in­ stantly killed by two masked robbers who attempted to loot the safe in the brewery office here. William Muessel. aged fifteen, was shot in the abdomen by the robbers and it is feared mortal­ ly wounded. The two robbers fled with­ out taking time to search tor money, in quest of which they committed two and perhaps three murders. Owing to the prominence of Henry Muessel, reputed to be a millionaire, the entire town was aroused. Posses scoured the districts and the surround­ ing country throughout the night, but no trace of the murderers was found. From Robert Muessel, the eighteen- yearold son of Walter Muessel. presi­ dent of the company, the police gained their most accurate description of the robbers. Robert Muessel was in the office when the bandits entered. Al­ though they shot the other three per­ sons, for some unaccountable reasoo they satisfied themselves with binding and gagging the youth. Henry Muessel was one of South Bend's wealthiest and most promi­ nent citizens and was well known throughout northern Indiana. He owned a large tract of land in the vi­ cinity of his brewery and a number of years ago presented to the city a valu­ able strip of this property for school purposes. Here a school building, said to be the finest and best equipped in South Bend, was erected and given his name. He was a leader in all the activities of the German societies in South Bend, a man of philanthropic motives and active in local and state politics. He bitterly opposed every effort to make South Bend dry and is said to have made numerous enemies among the anti-saloon workers.

This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the b> wel pores do* says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa­ ter with e teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it.

It is inexpensive and al­ most tasteless, except r sourish tinge which ie not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poi­ sons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac­ cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up!
