"I don't deny," snld Armstrong
slowly, "that nt tlrst sight this Is a
queer thing for me to do to cheek up
your property, I incnn when you and
I hnve hnd such nn intimate relation
ship as opponents. And I wouldn't for
the world hnve agreed to It If It could
hnve had the slightest connection with
. . . with your own prlvntc affairs.
It hasn't It can't have. I give you
my word on that; It's heen settled
without the slightest reference to any
thing else. But since It hasn't, nnd
since llufus asked me as a favor
and promised to tell you nhout It
nnd It's ahsolutely commercial "
"That's enough. I'm glad you're
going to do it." Milliard's voice was
gruff; It was a tribute to his compan
ion's code of ethics. "Know anything
about mining?"
"Not a thing. But I'm to go to a law
firm In IJutte and of course It's only
a formality, anyway. I'll probably find
it's better than you ever claimed. But
Rufe asked me."
"I see. Well now about this other
matter . . ."
Armstrong was watching tho west
bound express as It felt Its cautious
way through Railroad avenuo to tho
station.
"Yes?"
Hllllard was suddenly ashamed of
himself; ho was forced to concede that
his rival had tho advantage of him In
poise and altruism. lie shook himself
free of the savage resentment which
was stealing upon him.
"Wo'ro only human both of us.
Perhaps under the circumstances
the best thing we can say Is to say
nothing . . . except that I wish you
nil the luck in tho world. I don't pre
tend it Isn't a hard thing to say but
I'm trying to mean It. And you cer
tainty deserve It."
"And to you," said Armstrong cheer
fully. "And no bad feelings on either
side. And I hope your mine makes a
million dollars for you."
"Thanks," snld Illlliard, grimly. "I'll
need It. But don't be nfrald to send
Itufus your honest opinion will you?"
"No and III send It to you, too.
rriiat'fl only fair. ... I'd better be
starting."
They shook hands again across tho
wheel.
"You're a good sport, Armstrong
. . . don't think I've got any resent
ment left . . . except a bit that I can't
iulte swallow on short notice. . . ."
"I know. But you don't need to
worry, old man. Your future's bright
enough as I hope to wlro Rufus about
Saturday."
Too late, nilliard perceived that
they were talking at cross-purposes
Armstrong was evidently thinking
abont the mine. But there wns tlmo
tonly for a last gesture of farewell;
and Armstrong had disappeared In the
depths ef the tralnshod. Armstrong
. . . the Tlctor, and tho lnqulsltloncr
. . . was on tho road to Butte I
Work, hard work, tho panacea and
the salvation of those who are sore
distressed, even this cheapest relief
-was dculert Hllllard. He wns left alono
with his problem, wrestling with It
once more In the black darkness of de
spondency, and knowing neither a
means of simplifying It, nor a coun
selor to whom he could turn for aid.
ne conceded that there was only one
thing fir him to do, and ho Intended to
lo It, but he was harassed because ho
hnd so much time to think about It.
Not since the first sickening shock of
Harmon's revelation had he doubted
liN own purpose; It was merely the
machinery of It which perplexed him.
Ills confidence In himself gradually
returned ; ho wns abnormally calm and
letprmiied; he hnd no more Idea of
resisting his impulses thnn he would
hnve hnd, In Inlanders, of disobeying
his orders. Tho thing was there to be
done, nnH he, regardless of his own fu
ture, wns there to do It.
Overnight, he had occupied himself
with some elementary nccounting.
With Harmon's check, his outstand
ing balance for expenses, and what
money he could raise by selling his
runabout and a few personal posses
sions, he had on hand a matter of
ninety-six hundred dollars; Syracuse
had entrusted him with sixty-two thou
sand. To compromise pro rata with
his creditors this was apparently his
only resource, and yet how Insufficient
a repaiatlon It was! Ho know that It
had been his duty to Investigate tho
Montana property before he began to
exploit H; he knew that his solMntro
ductlon to Syracuse had been blatant
ly Inexcusable, and that not even the
fact that ho hnd been carried away by
the drama of rt could over bo excused,
nis Intricate fabric of deception, now
that ho Inspected It from this different
viewpoint, was flimsy shoddy, no
could he traced If anyone cared to
spend the time, nnd the energy, If
Armstrong or Uufus Waring enroa
to spend It, for example. Of coaroe,
ctvrvtzrr ay
DcaQmMrCQ.iis
thero was always the refuge of flight,
but In Flanders, men learn not to de
sert their posts, and Illlliard hnd
learned that lesson nmong the first.
Loyalty to the cause of lighting had
grown automatic; flight wns simply In
conceivable to him.
Yes, he could gather his resources
and place them, together with himself,
In tho hands of his subscribers, nnd
their vengeance would be twofold;
once fo their loss out of pocket, once
for the loss out of fnlth. He had de
served no leniency, nnd ho expected
none. But ns for thoso who, without
the flnnnclal entanglement, had re
spected him, and honored him, ns for
Carol Durnnt nnd Angeln . . .
Well, ns for Carol, ho wns nt lenst
relieved of the terrific mental convul
sion which would surely hnve fnllen
upon him If he hnd hnd renson to be
lieve thnt she loved him. As It was,
her shock at his disaster would bo
tempered by Armstrong's snne philoso
phy; nt most, she would lose In Mi
llard n friend of only a few months a
man she had wanted to retain ns a
friend, but by her own admission ns
thnt, nnd no more. This wns a conso
lation . . . trilling nnd fragile, to
be sure, but something saved out of
tho wreck.
As to Armstrong Illlliard, marvel
ing somewhat at his own tolerance,
wished him joy. Armstrong wns lino
nnd clenn nnd manly; he had well
merited his victory. As to Mr. Cullen
Hllllard was torn with regret, but
after all, Cullen's gullibility wns whnt
hnd made the campaign so childishly
simple. As to Angela . . . who hnd
renlly loved him . . .
"Oh, tho poor little kid I" snld Illl
liard softly. "The poor little kid.
t
And perhaps he had never loved
Carol Durant so much as when, at ten
o'clock that sunny morning, he went
up the steps of Angela's house to de
stroy a little girl's regard for him bo
fore It could bo destroyed by others.
On the doorstep, ho found strength
In the memory of poor Pierre Dutout.
In a way, Illlliard felt that he, too,
was giving up his life as Dutout had
given his . . . with n smile for the
fate, and a blessing for the future. Be
cause he was afraid, unnervedly nfrald,
that Angela, after all, was In love with
him and when he put a stop to that,
It was the beginning of tho end.
CHAPTER XII.
As ho crossed the threshold of the
long, overdecorated drawing-room, he
knew Intuitively thnt he hnd blun
dered upon n climax. This ho sensed
from the attitude of tho throe who
turned toward him ns he entered
sensed It before he snw whnt was In
their eyes. . . . Tho atmfisphere
was vibrant, as though from sound
waves which had passed beyond, nnd
yet left truces of tho swell behind
them. The room wns silent; but of a
silence more confounding than a deaf
ening turmoil.
Hllllard. standing on tho threshold,
was himself the center of this atmos
phere; he felt It partly because his
mood wns so flexible nnd pnrtly be
cause the three who faced him had
simultaneously thrown their flxed at
tention on him, thrown It directly and
challenglngly, including him In the
finale of tho climax, while they stood
motionless ns statues. Ho looked at
Waring, whoso expression was defen
sively acute; he looked nt Angeln,
flushed, palpitant, nnd excited; ho
looked nt Mr. Cullen, tight-lipped nnd
frowning; nnd IIIHInrd cnught his
brenth, ns n swimmer who lnunches
himself to a high dive, and walked
composedly Into tho drawing-room.
"I hope," he snld gravely, "I'm not
Intruding. Am I?"
The trio was galvanized Into nctlon ;
Cullen fairly leaped nt him. "Illlliard!"
he snld, "thank the Lord! You're the
very innn wo want!"
Hllllard smiled straight Into Cullen's
eyes.
"That's why I'm here," he said.
Waring laughed loudly too loudly;
and tho laugh stopped short, for Cul
len wns towering over him Cullen
blazing with Indignant wrath, and with
a hand resting on Illlllard's shoulder.
"Now go on," said Cullen command
Ingly. "Wo don't wnnt any under
handed work around here, Rufus. I've
told you that once alrendy. Go on I
say It to his face! You're conversa
tional enough behind his back say It
to his face! Either you tell him or I
Willi"
The boy wiped hlii forehead. Beads
of sweat stood out on It.
"Mr. Oullon ... It Isn't . . .
It Isn't fnlr . . ."
"Fair!" Angela's soprano had risen
to a half-scream. "Rufo Waring, nftc
what you're been saying, you talk about
being fair I Why If you"
"Hush ! Angela I" Her father's ad
monition was peremptory enough to
quell her Instantly. Ho wheeled back
to Waring. "VWre gWg to get at tke
bottom of this sooner or later nnd
the sooner the better. I'm waiting for
you to repeat what you Just told us,
Rufus."
There were tears of anger In the
Inw student's eyes of anger and of
Impotence. He gave Angela n look of
superb disdain, shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, that settles that I" ho said,
and ns Angeln gnvo n gasp of under
standing, nnd turned angrily white, ho
laughed metallically.
Cullen moved nearer to him.
"Arc you going to speak up or not?
Becnuso If you nren't . . ."
Waring folded his nrms; but ho
still failed of tho poso he planned, be
cause his eyes and his muscles were
traitor to him.
"No, I'm not I Not until I'm ready
to 1 I'm not nfrald of the whole crowd
of you! I'm not going to bo bullied
and bulldozed Into " no attempted
to brush past Cullen, tho older man
caught him by tho arm. "Take your
hands off mel"
"You stny where you nro!" stormed
Cullen. "Until you enn "
"If you lay your hands on mo once
more, Mr. Cullen, I'll . . . don't you
forget I know whnt this menus 1 I'll
hnvo you "
"Oh. your law!" Cullen snorted It
contemptuously. "For God's sake,
don't snivel nhout It . . . stand up
and tnke It like a man, If you've got
any manhood In you! For u law stu
dent you're . . . well, don't try to
run nwny from It, then. . . . Are
you going to tell him, or am I?"
Tho nnswer wns delayed; Cullen
swung around to Hllllard. "Then I'll
tell you myself. Know whnt this boy's
been snylng nhout you? Coming up to
us when you're not here, nnd trying to
knife you when you're not looking?"
IIIHInrd, who hnd heen stnndlng
paralyzed, found voice.
"Why, I can guess," ho said, curious
ly calm. "And don't ho harsh with
him, Mr. Cullen. As n matter of
fact"
Angela had sprung between them;
IIIHInrd snw thnt her cheeks were tear
stained. "It's nothing but Jealousy 1" she
cried vehemently. "He's snld horrible
things nhout you! lie's nlwnys sny
lng things nhout you ! Ho snld "
"Angeln I" Cullen almost fairly
shouted It. "I tell you, this Is my
house, and I won't hnvo nny more of
this Infernnl nonsense In It! Henr
me? I've hnd nil tho nonsense I'm go
ing to stnnd from nnybody! Rufus,
you stny right there! Angela, you
keep quiet!" He turned to IIIHInrd.
"If you'd como In n hnlf minute soon
er, you'd hnve beard this young whlp-per-snnpper
trying to mnko you out n
swindler! Trying to class you with
fnko promoters nnd mining shnrksl

Yes that's what ho did! You I And
tell you, Illlliard, It'll take more than
his sny-so to stnrt nnythlng nround
here I Don't you open your mouth,
Rufus . . . you had your chance
nnd you wouldn't tnke It 1 And I want
to tell you right hero and right now "
"Walt n minute." Hllllard was
deadly quiet; the only quiet member
of tho quartette. "There's no use In
telling all tho neighbors Just yet." ne
regarded Waring kindly. "Do you mind
repenting precisely whnt you did say,
Rufus? Don't you think I'm entitled
to that much?"
Tho hoy flushed ngonlzedly; ho wns
the nccuscr, nnd yet he couldn't meet
Illlllard's eyes. It wasn't guilt; it was
mere Intellectual Inferiority; nnd yet
it gave exactly tho opposite Impres
sion. "Well," he said desperately, "I know
hearsay evidence Is no good, so I got It
first hand in your own room In the
Onondaga, didn't 17 You won't deny
that, will you7 I didn't Just pick up
rumors I got it from you. Didn't I

Horrible Things About You!"

didn't you give me the data? Show me
figures nnd everything? And I told
Mr. Cullen tho very next dny, It didn't
look good to me." His volco roso
stridently. "All right, I'll say to him,
nnd I'll say It to you, and I'll say It to
anyboc"7 that'll listen to mel It didn't
look good to me then, und It doesn't
now. I told him you acted darned
funny nhout It. And Just now I'vo been
telling him I don't bellove It's Htralght.
You're too blamed sketchy ubout It,
nnd It's, got all the earmarks of a bum
promotion 1 There . . . Cullen !"
Tho omission of tho prefix to the fa
ther of hlH Idol was Uic worst Insult
he could conceive.
Oullen's hand was still on Ullllard'u
shoulder nnd It wns IIIHInrd whom ho
addressed, explosively, and with that
particular sort of mullled fury which
rises best from a set of circumstances
not thoroughly understood.
"Whnt this Is all about Is beyond
tnel Only, If this law minnow has
gone ns far ns this . . . We've got to
get nt the bottom of It . . . You know
thnt ns well ns I do, IIIHInrd, natural
ly. The boy's 'as wild as a hawk.
Heaven knows how far he'd go out
side. This has got to bo cleared up I
We've got to pound somo sense Into
him. We"
Hllllard was smiling vacuously; now
thnt the blow hnd nctually fallen, nnd
the complnlnt oflkinlly lodged, he felt
dellclously relnxed, content. Beforo
he could contrlvo n reply Waring was
strident again.
"Yes." The student's voice was thin
with acerbity. "Yes, you think you're
pretty smart nil of you. Don't you?
I come In hero to do you n kindness
thnt nnybody else. It seems to mo
would tnko ns a favor, and you mid
Angola Jump nil over me why doesn't
ho deny It? That's what 1 want to
know! Why doesn't ho sny some
thing?" Cullen looked nt IIIHInrd nnd made
n swift deduction, and spoke It.
"He's waiting for the rest of It. Go
on you're only half through Iho yarn
you told us."
"Oh, very well." Wnrlng gathered
courage. "You can have all you want
innj be more thnn you want. You'd
have had It sooner If you hadn't start
ed yelling nt me. I know what I'm
talking about; you people don't seem
to realize I'm In the Inwl I don't go
olT lmlf-cocked. I wrote to a law firm
In Butte, Montana, that's whnt I did. I
found out whnt wns tho biggest firm
there, nnd I wrote 'em a letter. They
nnswered It, too. I got my Information
right from the ground. I've got a let
ter thnt snys "
Cullen swayed forward, his hand
outstretched, palm-upward, In a direct
challenge of Wnrlng's truthfulness.
"Where Is It?"
The boy withdrew n step nnd stam
mered : "I left It homo."
"Oh, you did 1" Cullen's laugh was
stinging. "That's likely I"
"Yes, that's exactly whnt I did!
Think I'd bring an original letter out
of my ofllce let It out of my hands
until It's time to make It of record?
Not on your life ! I've got It all right.
It snys the Sllverbow Mining corpora
tion owns somo acreage, fast enough,
hut there Isn't a mlno on It "
Cullen vented his abandon of rage
on tho empty air.
"Well, who In tho devil ever said
there was?"
"Why . . . didn't you?" Tho appeal
was to Hllllard ; and It was made In a
tone of astonishment which would
hnve been ludicrous If there hndu't
been trngedy behind It.
"No." Hllllard shook his head.
"You enn't nccuso mo of that, at lenst.
. . . The only mlno we over mentioned
wns one In prospect. I always said It
was a prospect, with an old shaft on
It It, didn't I? And so It is! But nn
old shnft Isn't n producing mine, nee
essnrlly. And plenso let him finish,
Mr. Cullen I"
"Well ..." Tho hoy hnd twin disks
of hectic flnme Jn his cheeks. ""Hint's
only a detail, anyway . . . thoy said
It was . . . undeveloped . . . they
said the shaft had been abandoned
moro thnn two yenrs ago, because It
wasn't worth much of anything "
Cullen's hands were closing and un
closing apoplcctlcally.
"For Heaven's sake, who ever said
It wasn't! two years ago! Wo all
know that I Give us some news,
young man, give us some news!"
Waring was breathing hard, and his
Interest had switched to Angola, who
stood adamant. Indeed, ho was sud
denly transformed to the status of a
suppliant rather than that of a prose
cuting witness.
"Well . . . they said It was offered
. . . two years ago ... to anybody
who'd tnko it . . . for ten thousand
dollnrs , . . nnd nobody'd tnko It ns n
gift . . ."
"Oh, good Lord!" Cullen was near
to bursting. "Doesn't tho fool know
whnt n prospect Is? Hnsn't ho seen
tho reports? And still he "
"And . . . and tho land next to It
was . . . had a mine on It, the XLNC
mine, that's In pretty fair shape, but
thnt didn't signify anything. . . ." Ho
pnuscd for a moment. "And there
hnsn't been nny work done on It, to
speak of, for two years. . . . And the
corporation report I got shows that a
fellow named Martin Harmon's tho
president of It, and Hurmon's a cheap
Wall street mini In New York. Tho
Butte people don't consider him re
liable. And I'vo written to him four
times and ho won't answer."
"Ah I" snld Hllllard, startled.
"Well?" Cullen repeated his chal
lenge. "That's all." Ho gazed beseechingly
at Angela, who sniffed and turned her
head away.
"All 1" Cullen breathed stertorous
ly. "And with n flimsy lot of rot like
that you'vo got tho unmltlguted gall to
start a slanderous story like this
ubout Henry IIIHInrd I You've got thu
nervo to "
"Tho nstonlshlng pnrt of It," Inter
posed Illlliard, with coolness which us
tonlshcd even himself, "Is that every
single Item of It Is true I Don't blame
him, Mr. Cullen. It's true every
word,"
Cullen shook himself."
"Of course It'a truol Isn't It what
you'vo told us yourself, In a different
way! It's tho telling or It that
counts!"
"Now listen to me a moment 1" Hll
llard wns Impassively serious: tho way
to the denouement was opening clear
boforo him. Ho need only offer him
self for Judgment, and tho future
would take care of itself. "My purpose

"There!" Wnrlng was Jubilant
"Listen to thnt, now I What did I tell

"We went Into It with our eyes

"You told us from tho very first It

scorn to Waring. "I don't care who

"Thank you." Illlllard's apprecia

"I'm nfrnld you're exaggerating n lit

"Not ono syllnblo!"
