Jacinth, the
Magic Woman
By IZOLA FORRESTER
Tho first tlmo Andro saw her, wno
ono April morning up nt Llttlo Rlvor
sawmill, Tbo sound ot tho falls out
doors and the humming of tho saw ns
It cut through the heart of tbo wood
drowned bor volco, nnd ho glanced up
to find her standing in tho sunlight
watching him with her dark eyes.
Sho had seemed somo cerlo creature
of tho woodB that day. Hor hair was
short and curlod roughly about hor
almost boyish head. A boy's cap sur
mounted it, and ovor her rd calico
dress, n long fringed shawl was draped
fantastically, with on unconscious at
tempt nt tho ptcturosquo.
Andro tried to placo hor nmong tho
various dwollera In the Llttlo fllver val
ley, fivo miles below' the Bawmlll, but
ho could not recall hor faco. Ho
stopped tho saw nnd stoppod across
tho log run towards her.
"Did you want to sea mo T" ho asked
In his blunt way.
Bho caught her bronth, staring up
at him with the half-frigbtcned curi
osity of a wild nnlmal. This now
owner of tho aawmlll wna tall nnd
blondo. Ills gray flannol shirt lay
open nt tho throat, showing tho strong
pulsing musclos. Thoro wna nolthor
humor nor banter in hla tone, nnd
sho took courngo,
"I got hurt," sho said, qulto simply.
"Somebody shot mo." Bho sat down
on n pllo of new planks, and rollod
back hor sloevo. It was soakod
through with blood, and Andro gavo a
kocn exclamation ns ho saw tho wound
In tho soft flesh below tho shoulder.
"Whero did you got that!" ho de
manded, "Somobody shot mo," sho snld
again, shrugging ncgativo shoulders.
"I ran away from thorn, nnd they shot
after rno to mnko mo coma back, 1
ran nil tho way down tho mountain

Andro sot his Jaws firmly. Ho
wna not ono to shirk duty In nny form,
this young evangelist ot Llttlo Rlvor.
For half an hour ho worked dottly
over tho wound, staunching It with
some cotton waste he had on hand,
binding it up with strips nt tho fringed
shawl, in llou of anything else. And
all tho whllo tho girl sat quietly as
somo hurt animal, mutoly grateful for
tho kindness that hurt oven while It
healed.
There," said Andro, finally, as ho
roso from one knoo beside her. "It's
a mighty good thing the bullet went
through, and let tho bono nlono. What
mado you coma way down horo to
mo to get It bound up!"
"I don't know. I didn't want to go
back to camp"
"Oh, then you'ro from tho gipsy
carapt"
lits tone took on fresh interest. Ha
had heard from some of tbo wood cut
ters that n band of glysios had passed
through tho valley that week, on Its
way north for the summer. She nod
ded her head, her eyes looking at his
with a sidelong glance of admira
tion.
"I have no money," sho said, softly
"I cannot pay you. Hut I will tell
your fortune."
Andro flushed slowly, and stepped
back Ir.to tho cool, green gloom of the
sawmill.
"Thanks," but I don't take much stock
In that sort of" Ho was going to
say tomfoolory. but tho serious look
in her eyes stopped tho word on his
Hps. "That sort of magic I don't be
lieve in it"
"Ah, but It's true, true as tbo atars.
true as the life, In that wood you kill
there, Como hero, and let me prove
to you."
Sho took his unwilling hand and
pulled him towards hor. Her bright,
dark faco bent over tho grimy, strong
young band. And thero In tho old saw
mill, with the glory of tho spring
breaking the bonds of the mountain
llfo about them, Andre Marnier lis
tened while the inaglo woman told bis
fortune.
"Hand says you are strong, strong
In body, strong In heart, strong al
ways. Hand says you leave all the
world behind you, and follow, follow
something that leads you up here.
Hand says It will work its own for
tune, win Its own prize, hold Its own
forever." Her volco sank a bit lower
"Heart says when It finds Its own,
It will keep her. too"
"Say, can't you toll me about tho
sawmill?" broke In Andre, getting in
terested. He rested ono foot on tbo
log sho sat on, and leaned over eager
ly, "I don't caro so much about all
that lovo foolishness; but I Just took
this sawmill aa a venture, and I want
to stay up hero. I like It, I'm an

flung off his coat, and rolled back his

over him, ns ho set his Jaws grimly
for tho tusslo with death.
"You hold on to mo, girl, under

ho atruck out eteadlly, hardly fooling

he felt tbo shelving beach benoath his

suddenly, in that hour of peril, aa he
stood desolate and bereft of nil he

tho primitive llfo of the maglo woman.
It was hard to see hor faco In tbo

"Ah, don't, don't," sho cried, trying
