On the morrow the new foreman was :due -to arrive. • The work did :not stop, for Harrison was the best of hirelings, the man who sees only effi- cient accomplishment. • The women were agog for the first sight of the new boss. The camp wagon .had gone to the valley town to bring him, and when, it drew -up in the slanting yard of ihe'cook shack every married cabin held inspection. "Good lookin'," said Emma Smith, the hook tender's wife, with convic- tion. • "Young," thought Gail Berlin from behind her scrim curtains.

Her sullen eyes 'had suddenly flown wide open. The dullness had left, her face in a flash.

His intent was plain, and. the girl struggled with repulsion and anger' staining her face scarlet, but his grip was iron. Smiling, his eyes like a cat's he took both her hands in one of his, swung the other arm around her; neck, . and hissed her as many times as possible before the scrap he expected could take place, for there were several other men'present. They nose as one, too, but something was before them—the huge man just open- ing the door, who had seen it all. If a thunderbolt had launched itself at the, offender it could scarce have been more swift' and deadly. One great hand took him by the collar from behind, even as the other was flinging the cap it held away. In one second pandemonium was loose in the restaurant, for the man in the spiked boots and mackinaw had gone mad with rage and threatened to kill the other before the bystanders could rescue him, which they soon saw they must do. By the time the fray was over the ambulance was there for the stran- ger, the patrol for Harkness, and Rose was weeping with nervous ter- ror, while the proprietor was saying with cold fury: "You're the cause of it, with your., everlasting tricks an your refusals to handle th' fires you start. Clear out! You're done hoer! Beat it! And hurry!" But the lumberjack had shaken' himself free of the restraining hands of the law and faced the girl and the rest. "Get on your things," he said harshly. "This is no place for you.' That had all been five months ago and here she was, shut like a toad in a well between the massive ridges with the blue gray rain eternally fall ing. She hated it all. And she almost thought, in some moods of depression and sudden re- bellion, that she hated the man who had brought her here. This day she flung the ruffled apron down with a jerk and struck her palms together. Then she heard his step at the door, abruptly, striking the stone steps from the carpet of winter grass that came flush up to it, and he cavae in with the from the wet, sparkling drops. His dark eyes sought her face dimmed a eagerly, and.. their light dine bit, and spiritless. a cold Ifor it wasP "Lonesome, Honey?" he asked as he shook the raindrops from his flannel clad shoulders and tossed back the mop of black hair. Rose nodded and went to take up the meal. As she passed him he reached out and gathered her into his Singe arias, forgetting the wetness of his garments. The woman. drew hack petulantly. grandeur it was an abomination of dreariness. She picked at the ruffle of her neat apron and swallowed once or twice for there was a catch in her throat that would not go .away. I+t'had been there for five nightmare months, ever since she had married the big,'broad-shouldered lumberjack that memorable day in Seattle and come : away with him. She had :been a waitress in a third- class restaurant in the shipping.dis- trict and she had been happy. She recalled with a sick longing the warns: feel of the long, narrow room, the shining horseshoe counter With its recurring oases of catsup- bottle, salt and pepper, the steaming coffee ma- chine, and the faces of the men who came and went, always smiling across her counter, for she had been worth smiling at. She was known slightly along the waterfront as "Straight Rose, at Blundel's." Many a sailor risked his leave and his digestion to eat' the pie she shoved across to him, to watch her soft, white hand push a hairpin into the rebellious fluff. She was slim as a reed in her neat black dress and white apron, shapely and trim, and she was always_sweet of temper and kindly. So it was that she saw first Chad Harkness. He had come in out of the rain on a roaring night, and his huge bulk had filled the door of the restaur- ant completely, so that he had to stoop with his mop of black hair brushing the top as he pulled off his dripping cap. His cheeks were bright , as polished apples, and his slow dark eyes were smiling, even though he was a total stranger to Blondels. He hung the wet cap on the rack, turned to the counter, and looked into s Rose's face. The genial smile of general well- being slid off his features in the won- der of the vision, for he had met his own right there, though he did not know it. He slipped on to a stool and continued to -stare at the girl until she flushed and lifted her head with great hauteur, "Order?" she snapped. The stranger drew_ a long breath and smiled again. That was the beginning, for the stranger could no more stay away from the little' restaurant than he could, cease to eat,and he had a healthy young apetite. He carne regularly and the girl came tolook u m g y,g for hisgreat form loomingin the narrow door. It was at the end of that week that the thinghappened which had brought p w b her to e shut -in -valleys, the etern- ally n - ally dripping conifers, and the 'activ- ity of the lumber camp on the river. She had been behind her counter es usual, her hair fluffed high - on her small head, her gray eyes alert,- the green bracelet glowing dully;on her arm, when a man came: in and flung himself on a stool, stating an order concisely. He was; a big fellow, clad Lifebuoy is the real way to a healthy skin. It: cleans not only the .surface but the pores: It softens with its pure palm and vegetable oils. Y1 is delightful to rue. Harkness swung along, his great body moving with the krace of a panther, and as the man ahead stepped o e fore - the leg and he lifted his eyes to th man's face he stepped so sharply that the rest bumped together. A silence fell abruptly, so that there was only the voice of the river, menacing be- neath. The two men looked hard in each other's' faces and their extended hands dropped. The lumberjack flung up his head,. swung off the log, and away without, a' word. He had seen again the g blue eyes, the sensuous lips, the fair head of the man he had sent to hospi- tal in. Seattle! When he reached the cabin and entered in a pregnant silence his face was white as a candle.: Rose the bending over the opened door of oven' and she looked'up with flushed cheeks: The outcome of the evening that followed was that Chad went out work next morning in the dark and the rain with tight lips and a deter- mination to do as Rose wanted, no: matter what it cost him in repression and humiliation. And he found it easier than he. had expected,, for the new boss, Carson by name, greeted him. on the work as he did the others, and as if they had not met before. A few uneventful days went by. Then Carson mand on the • footlog and he stopped smiled knowingly. The woman raised her beautiful' eyes and looked at him I as haughtily as she had that far past night in Seattle, but there was a faint I upward tilt to one corner of her mouth, a coquette's mark. The man ; was swift of comprehension and did not miss that- slight shadow of ex- pression. '+ "We meet again," he said disarm- ingly, with his winning smile. "I hope you don't hold spites and grudges?" She told Chad of the meeting and of Carson's fair words about letting the past rest, but she did not tell him of that final whisper. "Yes, fair words," said the lumber- '' jack, "but I'll watch him just the , i same." That gave Rose something to think , hbout.
