"Baree," she cried softly. "Baree Baree I" The voice of the Willow thrilled Baree. It seemed to stir the. sluggish blood In his veins, and he opened his yes wider and saw again the wonderiui scars tnat had glowed at him so softly the day of Wakayooo's death One of the Willow's long braids fell over her shoulder, and he smelled again the sweet scent of her hair as her hand caressed him and her voice talked to him. Then she got up sud denly and left him, and he did not move while he waited for her. In a moment she was back with a basin of water and a cloth. Gently she washed the blood from his eyes and mouth. And still Baree made no move. He scarcely breathed. But Nepeese saw the little quivers that shot through his body when her hand touched him, Vke electric shocks. "He beat you with a club," she was saying, her dark eyes within a foot of Baree's. "He beat you! That man beast ! There came an interruption. The door opened, and the man-beastood looking down on them, a grin on his red face. Instantly Baree showed that he was alive. He sprang back from under the Willow's hand with a sudden snarl and faced McTaggart. The hair of his spine stood up like a brush ; his fangs gleamed menacingly. "There is a devil in him," said "He is wild born of the wolf. You must be careful or lie will taKe orr a hand, Ha sakahet!" It was the first time he bad called her that lover's name in Cree sweethenrt! Her heart pounded. She bent her head for a moment over her clenched hands, and looking down on what he thought was her confusion laid his bund caressingly on her hair. From the door Pierrot had heard the word, and now he saw the caress, and he raised a hand as if to shut out the sight of a sacrilege. "Mon Dieu!" lie breathed. In the next Instant he had given a sharp cry of wonder that mingled with a sudden yell of pain from McLike a flash Baree had Taggart. darted across the floor and fastened his teeth In the Factor's leg.

With a little cry she darted to Baree and caught him in her arms. As she looked up at McTaggart, her soft, bare throat was within a few Inches of Baree's naked fangs. Her eyes blazed. "You beat him!" she cried. "lie hates you hates you " "Let him go!" called Pierrot in an "Mon Dieu ! I say agony of fear. let him go or he will tear the life from half-close- - - ( you !" "He hates you hates you hates you " the Willow was repeating over and over again into McTaggart's startled face. Then suddenly she turned to her father. "No, he will not tear the life from me," she cried. "Seel It Is Bare. Did I not tell you that? It Is Baree Is It not proof that he defended me "From me !" gasped McTaggart, his 1 face darkening. Pierrot advanced and laid a hand n McTuggnrfs arm. He was smiling. "Let us leave them to fight it out between themselves, m'sleu," he said. They are two little firebrands, and we are not safe. If she is bitten " He shrugged his shoulders. A great load bad been lifted from them sudIlls voice was soft and perdenly. suasive. And now the anger had gone out of the Willow's face. A coquettish uplift of her eyes caught McTaggart, and she looked straight at him, half smiling, as she spoke to her fa- ther: "I will Join you soon, mon pere you and M'sleu the Factor from Lac Bain !"

McTuggart's Jaws were set, but his eyes flared up with pleasure when he saw her. She knew what It was about. The Factor front Lac Bain had been demanding bis answer of Pierrot, and Pierrot bad been telling him what she had insisted upon that he must come to her. And he was coming ! She turned with a quick beating of the heart and hurried down a little path. She heard McTaggart's footsteps behind her, and threw the flash of a smile over her shoulder. But her teeth were set tight. The nails of her fingers were cutting Into the palms of her hands. Pierrot stood without moving. He watched them as they disappeared Into the edge of the forest, Nepeese still ahead of McTaggart Out of his breast rose a sharp breath. "Par les mille cornes du diable!" he swore softly. "Is It possible that she smiles frm, her heart at that beast? Non! It is Impossible. And yet If it ts so " One of bis brown bands tightened convulsively about the handle of the knife in his belt, and slowly he began to follow them. McTaggart did not hurry to overtake Nepeese. She was following the narrow path deeper into the forest, and he was glad of that. They would be alone away from Pierrot. He was satisfied to let her go on.

Fordieu Is Absent From List of Opposition. M. Callaux's financial plan, in which the essential elements of the experts report are utilized, was apIt proved by the cabinet Tuesday. will, In the opinion of the friends of the government, be accepted by the chamber. The plan involves ratification of the American debt accord and settlement of France's debt to Great Britain, a heavy increase in import duties, financial readjustment of various departments, Increased production and strict economies both by the government and the people. When the subject is brought before the house, the margin in favor of the government may be large or small, according as the debate turn. Any majority will be regarded as sufficient, however, in view of the fact that there la no party or coalition able to dominate the situation at the present time. A formadable array- - of talent is lined up against the cabinet. Ten deputies, including the leaders of the Socialist and Communist parties have announced interpellations on the financial problem, while seventeen more are registered to take part in the debate, among, them the leaders of the "Young Turks," of the Radical party, to whom the Briand-Caillaucabinet is far from acceptable, as well as the leaders fo the moderate and conservative groups. M. Tardieu, who on Tuesday embarrassed the cabinet by his unexpected intervention, demanding that 11 delay were accorded the government, it should not be utilized to negotiate a foreign loan, is absent from the list to the surprise of the general public. He was expected to lead the assault on the government. Paris. She had not planned it like this. She had Intended to be smiling, even But Mclaughing, in this moment Taggart had spoiled them her carefully made plans! And yet, as she pointed, the Factor from Lac Buln looked for an instant over the edge of the chasm. And then she laughed as she gave him a sudden shove from behind. "And that Is my answer, M'sieu le Facteur from Lac Bain !" she cried tauntingly as he plunged headlong into the deep pool between the rock wails. From the edge of the open Pierrot saw what had happened, and he gave a great gasp. He drew back among the balsams. This was not a moment for him to show himself. While his heart drummed like a hammer, bis face was filled with Joy. On her hands and knees the Willow was peering over the edge.

Beast! . x Beast" She flung small sticks and tufts of earth down at him fiercely ; and McTaggart. looking up as he gained his equilibrium, saw her leaning so far over that she seemed about to fall. Her long braids hung down into the chasm, gleaming in the sun ; her eyes were laughing while her lips taunted him ; he could see the flash of her 400 Persons Die In Earthquake white teeth.

That Utah orchard-ists- , save for a few exceptions, are not keeping their apple and peach orchards up to a point where they can be depended upon for highgrade and stable crops annually, is the contention of Harden Bennion, state commissioner of agriculture.

After rejecting the Washington Fess farm credits bill, which had been Indorsed by President Coolidge, by a ote of 26 to 54, the senate then passed the house cooperative marketing measure. The proposal approved, which also was sponsored by the administration, would auhtorize a $225,000 appropriation for the creation of a cooperative marketing division in the agriculture department. The Fess proposal, offered by the Ohio senator as a rider to the cooperative marketing measure, would have 0 authorized in appropriation of for loans to farmers' cooperatives. It was snowed under by a vote of 54 to 26. Its defeat was more crushing than that administered in the senate last week to the McNary equalization fee: bill, which was opposed by the ad-- , ministration, and was rejected by a: margin. Adoption by the senate of an amendment eliminating naval stores from the measure means that the cooperative marketing bill must go to conference can be adjusted and the measure sent to the president probably the only farm relief measure to reach the White House during this session, which is nearing a close. The vote on the cooperative marketing bill came after a ten hours' continuous session, during which a wide range of proposals, to change tariff of the railroad rates for the benefit of the farmer and to aid him by other methods, had been thrown in the discard. $100,-000,00- eix-vot- e Heat Records are Smashed by Wave Chicago A heat wave, coasting across the northern half of the continent from the Pacific slope, brought record temperatures to the Central West and the Lake region.
