This recalled an important matter
to his mind. Toinette had entrusted
him with a letter for Jeems. Boiling
over with his own selllsh exultations,
he had forgotten it. He hoped It was
an invitation for Jeems to come to
the selgneurle. He had often told
bis girl she should be more friendly
with the lad.
Jeems took the letter and went off
by himself. It was the first recogni
tion from Toinette since the day of
the levee. He had not seen her and
had tried not to think of her. Alone,
he read the words she had written
him.
With pitiless coldness and brevity,
they called him si renegade and a
coward.
On a Sttember morning some days
later, Jeems stood watching his uncle
as he disappeared Into the frost tinted
woods of Forbidden valley. It seamed
to him that Hepsibnh's suspicions and
guardianship of the valley had become
greater with the growing news of
French triumphs In the south which
so positively assured their safety.
Only yesterday Tonteur had brousht
the latest word from Dleskau. The
German had been on the eve of smash
ing Sir William Johnson and his mob
of Colonials and Indians when his
messenger had left By this time the
event had probably happened, Jeems
thought Yet his uncle was going Into
Forbidden valley with a look in his
face which puzzled him.
Restlessness possessed Odd after
Hepsibah had gone. Passing years
were beginning to leave their mark
on the dig. He was growing
content to wutch life with Jeems in
stead of ceaselessly pursuing It. He
was nut old, and yet he was no longer
young. There remained one thing
which did not fall to stir In him the
tense fierceness of his youth. This
was the Indian smell. He always told
Jeems when one of their wilderness
visitors was near, sometimes many
minutes before the savage appeared
from the woods. And he never tired
cf watching Forbidden valley. In the
dawn he faced it At midday he dozed
with his half-closed eyes turned
toward it In the evening he sniffed
Its scents. Yet he did not go down
Into the valley unless Jeems or Henri
was with him.
During the morning. Odd's uneasi
ness began to reflect Itself In Jeems.
Soon after noon," he left his work and
told his mother he was going in the
direction of Lussan's place. Cath
erine walked with him through the
young orchard end op the slope.
Never had she seemed more beautiful
to Jeems. Ilis father was right this
mother of his would always be a girl.
From above the orchard, standing on
little plateau that overlooked the
Bulaln farm, they called to Henri,
who was In his turnip field, and waved
at him. Jeems stood for a few mo
ments with his arm about his mother.
Then he kissed her, and Catherine
watched him until he was lost to her
sight in the Big forest
Jeems did not have the desire to
hunt, nor did Odd. Unexplalnable
Impulses were pulling at them both.
Odd's restlessness was unlike his mas
ter's. Whenever Jeems paused, the
dog turned and sniffed the air of their
trail, facing Forbidden valley In an
attitude of suspicion and doubt. Jeemi
observed bis companion's enigmatic
actions. Odd was not giving the In
dian signal. It was as If something
without form or substance, a thing be
wildering and unintelligible, lay be
hind them.
They came to Lussan's, nine miles
from their home. Since Lussan's de
parture, the place had been aban
doned, and In those the years the
wilderness had largely reclaimed what
man had taken from It. Jeems stood
where he had fought Paul Titche, arid
ghostly whispers crept about him In
the stillness. Then came a feeling of
dread, almost of fear. He turned back
to the house and to the open, where
long ago he bud stood with Toinette
and all her loveliness so near to him.
The sun had sot and dusk was gath
ering over the land before he drew
himself away from the ghosts which
haunted Lussan's dace. Night could
add nothing more to his gloom.
Odd whined frequently In his eager
ness to reach home. Sometimes he
showed linputlence at his master's
BlowneKS'; by running- ahead. Joenis
did not "hurry. He urislung his bow,

meet It. In Tolnette'a eyes he would
always remain a renegade and a
coward.
Night thickened. The stars enmo
out. Deepening shadows lay about
them as they climbed the tallest of
the hills, from which they could look
over the ridges and woods between
them and Forbidden valley. Because
from this hill It was possible to see
over the Big forest which sheltered
their farm from the north winds,

Odd whined ns he climbed it to

when he gained the crest his whining
changed to a howl, so low that one
would scarcely huve heard It at tho
foot of the hill.

of a heart In his breast nothing but
a stillness that was like death, a
shock that was like death, a horror
that could come only at the eight and
tho feeling of death
Rising from the far side, of the for

morning was a distant glow of fire.
Nearer, over the rim of Forbidden
valley, the sky was a red Illumination

not of a burning forest It was not a
scorch of burning stumps. It was not
a conflagration of dry swump grass
reflecting Itself against a moonless
heaven. It was a tower of blazing
light, mushrooming as it rose, flat
tening Itself In a sinister scarlet radl
nnce under the clouds, dripping at Its
edges Into colors of silver and gold
anil bIooL
His home was burning!
With the cry that came from his
lips, there leapt madly into his mind
the words that Hepsibah bad spoken
to him a last time that morning: "If
ever I'm off there and you see a fire
lighting up the sky by night or smoke
darkening It by day, hurry to the
selgneurle with your father and moth
er as fast as you can go, for It will
mean my band bns set the heavens
talking to you and that the peril 0'
death Is near."
CHAPTER V
For a space Jeems could not move
as he gazed at the crimson sky. His
home was In flames. This alone would
not have deadened him with horror.
Ills father was there to care for his
mother, a new home could be built,
the world did not end because a house
burned. But there were two fires
arid the other,' farther on, reflecting
Itself dimly and yet more somberly,
was the one tbnt terrified him. It was
Hepsibnh's fire talking to him through
the night!
Then the choking thing In him gave
way, and as the power to act returned,
he saw Odd facing the lighted heavens
and In every muscle and line of the
dog's rigid frame the Indian sign was
clearly written.
He set off at a run down hill, and as
he ran bushes whipped at his face and
shadows gathered under his feet and
long arms of gloom reached out from
among the trees to hold him back. He
could not come up with Odd. Like
two shadows in a playful night, one
closely pursuing the other, ihey run
until Jeems' breath began to break

Electrical Treatment of Soil of Little Value
There Is a great difference of opin
ion iimoiig agricultural scientists as
to tho value of electricity In the culti
vation of various food crops. Many
English authorities claim that grain
and some garden produce Is quite ma-'
terlally speeded up so far as growth
Is concerned und the quality Improved,
by a current of electricity passing
between the ground and a network of
wires suspended above the growing
crops. A Finland fanner refiorts, an
Increase of 50 .per cent In the amount
of produce and grain grown In this
manner. Tho United States Agrlcnl.
turul department has been experiment
ing with the subject for years and the
final conclusion Is that no benefit or
at least very little has resulted from
the electrical treatment of the soil.
In fact It was noticed thut a slightly
from his Hps In gasps, and at the end
of a mile he fell back to a walk. Odd
lessened Ills pueo to bis muster's.
They climbed n lower hill, and once
more Jeems could see the glow of lire.
In the upper vnult of tho sky It was
failing to a ghostly pallor against tho
sweeping arc of the Milky Way.
They ran on, and the spirit of hope
began to tight for a jdaco In Jeems'
brain. This ray of light gave life and
force to the arguments with which he
now made an effort to hold back the
grimmer thing. Ills home was burn
ing, But It must be an accident,
nothing that should (III him with
fright. The other fire off In Forbid
den valley was no more than a coin
cidence, probably a conflagration
started by a careless Indian or a
while man's pipe.
He paused again to get bis breath,
and Odd stopped with him. Ills shag
gy body was trembling with tho pent
up emotions of suspense and ixisslon
which poMsesscd him when he caught
In the air the deadly poison t his nos
trilsthe Indian smell. Jeems strug
gled not to believe the evldonco w hich
be saw, and told himself that If by
any chance there were Indians at bis
home they were friends helping to
snve what they could from the tragedy
of the tire.
(Hit of the silence Jeems benrd a
sound which rose above the pounding
of his heart. It was so fur away, so
Indistinct, that the stirring of the
leaves bad kept It from his ears.
But Jeems had heard,
s lie had heard the firing of guns.
Over the hills and forests the sound
had come to him from the direction of
the Tonteur selgneurle He did not
wait for-tbe.nnks to drowse again.
Odd led Mm In their last heartbreak
ing nice Into the Big forest. Leaden
weights seemed to be drawing at his
feet before they were through It. He
had run too hard. He stopped and
sagged against a tree, with Odd growl
ing In a low and .terrible way close
to his knees. He whs mt trying to
prove or disprove matters now. A catas
trophe bad happened to his thoughts
wilh the firing of the guns. Taking
the place of hope evcji f his fears,
was the one great desire to reach Ids
father and mother us quickly as he
could.
His exertions bad beaten hi 111 when
they came to the edge of the forest
and he could have run uo farther
without falling. Before them was the
"lope, a silvery carpet of tho star
UkM. At the foot of It was what had
In i n bis home.
That It was a red hot mass without
form or stability, a pile out of which
flame ros lazily, Its fierceness gone,
added nothing more to his shock. He
Imd unconsciously liHiked for this. The
barn whs also a heap of blazing em
bers. Everything was gone. F.ven this
fact was not the one which besjan to
b'ik down bis reason, which lie Imd
s". ugided so hnrd to keep. It was
it stillness, the llfelosstiess, the lack
o movement and sound that appalled
1. fin at first and then cloned In about
him, a crushing, deadening force. The
fires lit up the bottom land. He could
see the big rock at the spring. The
paths between the gardens. The bird
bouses In the nearest oaks. The mill.
But be could see nothing that bad
been saved from the burning bouse.
He could not see bis fattier or his
mother or Hepblbuh Adams.
Even Odd's heart seemed to break
In these moments. A sound came from
him that was like a sob. He was half
crouching, no longer savage or venge
ful. But Jeems did not sea He was
trying to find some force In him that
could cry out Ids mother's name. His
lips were as dry a sticks, his throat
failed to respond. The silence was
terrific. In It he heard the snapping
of an exploding ember, like a pistol
going off. He could hear no one talk
ing, no volcea calling.
Fear, the repulsion of flesh and
nerves to danger, was utterly gone
from him. He was Impelled only by
thought of his father and mother, the
mystery of their silence, his desire to
call out to them and to hear their
voices In answer. He did not fit an
arrow to his how as be walked down
through the starlight, bis feet travel
ing a little unsteadily, What was
there or was not there could not be
changed by an arrow.
Unexpectedly, he come npon his
father. Henri was on the ground near
one of Catherine's rose bushes, as if
asleep. But he was dead. He lay
with bis face turned to the sky. Fire
