of course, that I'll have to telegraph
to San Francisco tomorrow and buy
her a later model. Thank goodness,

Colonel Pennington had little diffi

leave tho lonunntlvo at the logging

be as simple as turning n hose down a

Throughout tho afternoon. uCter

tho woods-honi, via George Sea Otter
(for he dared not trust to the tel...

telephone call from tho logging camp

Buck Ogllvy camo Into tho olllce.
"Woll?'ho queried casually.
"8nfq-0, Buckl" replied llryce,
nothing to do but get n blto of din
ner and proceed to business."
Hack Insisted on keeping an engage
fncnt.to tllno with Molra, nnd llryce
agreed to call for him nt the Hon
.Gusto rcstnurant. Then Hryce went
iVpme to dine with his father. Old
Cardigan wns happier than his son
had seen him. since tho return of the
lallor to Soquoln.
r'Well, sonny, I've hnd a mighty

'llryce led him to tho dinner table.
"I've lcen ul t tho Valley of the
OhUits"
Hryce I was amazed. "Why, how

I doubt If a rabbit could get through
It comfortably."
"Not a bit of It," the old man re
plied. "Somebody has gone to work
and planked that old skid road and
put up a hand rail on each slue,
while the trail through the Olants has
been grubbed out and smoothed over.

on both sides. I can go up there alone
now, once George sots me on the old
skid road; I can't get lost."
"How did you discover this?" Bryce
demanded.
"Judge Moore, representing the new
owner, called round this morning and
took me In tow. He said his client
knew the property held for mo a cer
tain sentimental value which wasn't
transferred In the deed, and so the
Judgo had been Instructed to have the

grubbed out for me. It appears that
tho valley Is going to h,o a public
park, nfter all, but for the present and
while I live. It Is my private park."
"This Is perfectly amazing, partner."
"It's mighty comforting," his father
admitted. "Ouess the new owner must
be one of my old friends perhaps
somebody I did a favor for once
and this Is his way of repaying. I'd
like to know tho name of tho owner.
I'd like mighty well to say thank you
to him. It Isn't tisunl for people now
adays to have -as much respect for
sentiment In an old duffer like me as
the fellow has. He sort of mnkes me
feel as If I hadn't sold nt all."
Huek Ogllvy came out . of the Hon
Gusto restaurant with Molra, Just as
Hryce, with George Sea Otter at the
wheel of tho Napier, drove up to the
curb. They left Molra at her board
ing house, and rolled noiselessly away.
At nine o'clock they urrlvcd nt
Cardigan's log landing and found Jim
Harding, the bull-donkey engineer,
placidly smolclng his pipe In tho cab.
.Hryce balled him.
"Thnt you, Jim?"
"You bet."
"Hun up to .Tube Curtis' shanty nnd
tell him we're here, llavo him gather
his gang nnd bring two pairs of
overalls and two Jumpers large size
with him when ho conies."
Presently tho woods-boss, accom
panied by thirty of his best men, came
down to the log landing. At Hryce's
order they clambered aboard tho en
gine and tender, hnnglng on the steps,
on the roof of tho cab, on tho cow
catcher anywhere they could find n
too-bold. Huck Ogllvy cut off the air;
and the locomotive anil tender began
to glide slowly down the almost Im
perceptible grade. With n slight click

quoia. Forty minutes Inter they nun
bled down Water street and slid to a
grinding halt at the Intersection of H
street.
From the darkness of Cardigan's
drying yard, whero they had been
waiting, twenty picked men of the
mill crow now emorged, bearing Inn
terns and tools. Under Huck Ogllvy's
direction tho dirt promptly began to
fly, while tho woods crew unlonded the
rails and piled them closo to the side
walk.
Suddenly a voice, hnrsh nnd strident
with passion, rose above tho thud of
the picks and the clang of metal.
"Who's In charge horo, nnd what In

I Drvoi turned In time to buhold Col.

Seth Pennington lenp from nn nuto
mobllo and advance upon Huck Ogllvy.
Ogllvy held a lantern up to tho Colo
nel's face and surveyed Pennington
calmly.
"Colonel," he began with exnspcrat-
Ing politeness, "I presume you' are
Colonel Pennington my namo Is
Htichanan P.. Ogllvy, nnd I nm In
chnrgo of these operations. I nm the
vice president and general mnnager of
the N. C. O., and I nm engaged In the
blithe task of making a Jump crossing
of your rails. Have n cigar." And he
thrust a perfecto under the Colonel's
nose. Pennington struck It to the
ground, nnd on the Instnnt, hnlf a
dozen rough rnscals emptied their
shovels over lilin. He was deluged
with dirt.
"Stand bnck, Colonel, stand back, If
you please. You're In the wny of the
shovelers," Huck Ogllvy warned him
soothingly.
Hryce Cardigan came over, and at
sight of him Pennington choked with
fury. "You you " he sputtered, un
able to say more.
"I'm tho N. C. O.," Hryce replied.
"Nice little fiction that of yours about
tho switch-engine being laid up In the
shops and tho Laurel creek bridge be
ing unsafe for this big mogul. He
looked Pennington over with frank ad
miration. "You're certainly on fithe
Job. Colonel. I'll say that much for
you."
You've stolen my engine." Penning
ton almost screamed. "I ll have the
law on you for grand larceny."
"Tut-tut! You don't know who
stole your engine. For all you know,
your own engine crow mny hnve nm
It down here."
"I'll attend to you, sir," Pennington
replied, nnd he turned to enter Mayor
Poundstone's little flivver.
"Not tonight, at least." Bryce re
torted gently. "Having gone this far.
I would be a poor general to permit
you to escnpe now with the news of
your discovery. You'd be down hero
In nn hour with n couple of hundred
members of your mill crew and give
us the rush. You will oblige me, Colo
nel Pennington, by remaining exactly
where you are until I give you permis
sion to depart,"
"And If I refuse"
"Then I shall manhandle you, truss
you up like a fowl In the tonnenu of
your car, and gag you."
To Hryce's Infinite surprise the Colo-
nel smiled. "Oh. very well!" ho re
plied. "I guess you've got the bulge
on mo, young man. Do you mind If I
sit In the warm cab of my own en
gine? I enme away In such a hurry
I quite forgot my overcont."
"Not ut all. I'll sit up there and
keep you company."
Half an hour passed. An nutomo-
bllo came slowly up Water street and
paused half a block away, evidently
reconnolterlng tho situation. Instant
ly the Colonel thrust his hend out tho
cab window. i
"Sexton!" ho shouted. "Cardlgnn's

crew together nnd phone for llondeau

Hryco Cardigan's great hnnd closed
over the Colonel's neck, while down
Water street a dark streak that was

Pennington's manager a prisoner nlso.
Ho was too late, however. Sexton

speed down Wnter street, leaving tho
disappointed Ruck to return panting
to the scene of operations.
Hryco Cardigan released his hold on
Pennington's neck. "You wjn,. Colo

come of holding you here any longer.
Into your car and on your way."
"Thnnk you, young mnn," the Colo

"Plenty of time," he murmured. "Cur
few sbnll not ring tonight." Quite
deliberately he climbed Into the
mayor's lato sourco of woo and
breozed away.
Colonel Pennington did not nt once
return to his home, however. Instead
he drove up to the business center of
the town. Tho streets were deserted,
but one saloon tho Snwdust Pile
was still open.
Pennington strode through the Imr
nnd Into tho bnck room, whero n num
ber of poker gajnes were In progress,
For a moment ho stood, his cold,

It will be recalled that tho Black
Mlnorcn led tho futile rush ngalnst

The Colonel npproached the table
where tho Hlack Minorca sat thuuilv

touched the cholo. on tho shoulder,
The Hlack Minorca turned, nnd Pen
nlngton nodded to him to follow
whereupon the latter cashed In his

sidewalk, Hero a whispered conver
sation ensued, and nt Its conclusion
the Hlack Mlnorcn nodded vigorously.
"Sure I" ho assured tho Colonel. "I'll
fix 'cm good nnd plenty."
Together Pennington nnd the HInck
Mlnorcn entered the automobile and
proceeded swiftly to the Lngunit
Grande Lumber company's mill ofllce.
From a locker the Colonel produced a
repenting rifle and three boxes of
cartridges, which he handed to the
cholo, who departed without further
ado Into the night.
Twenty minutes later, from tho top
of a lumber pile In' Cardigan's (Irving

ynrd. Hryce Cardigan saw the Hash of
a rifle and felt a sudden sting on his
left forearm. Ho leaped around In
front of the cowcatcher to guln the
shelter of the engine, and nnother bul
let struck nt his feet and ricocheted
off Into the night. It was followed by
a fusillade, the bullets kicking up the
freshly disturbed earth among tho
workers and sending them scurrying
to various points of safety. In an In
stant the crossing was deserted, and'
work had been stopped, while from
the top of tho adjacent lumber pile
the HInck Minorca poured a stream of
lend and filthy Invective at every point
which he suspected of harboring a
Cardigan follower.
'I'd like to plug him." Huck mur
mured.
"What would be tho use? This will
bo his last night In Humboldt coun
ty"
A rifle shot rang out from the side
of H street; from the lumber pile
ncross the street, Hryco nnd Ogllvy
heard a suppressed grunt of pain, and
n crash as of a breaking board. In
stantly out of the shadows George
Sea Otter came padding on velvet
feet, rifle In hand nnd then Hryce
understood.
"All right, boss," said George sim
ply us he Joined Hryce nnd Ogllvy un
der the lee of tho locomotive. "Now
wo get busy again."
"Snfe-o. men," Ogllvy called. "Hack
to tho Job." And while Hryce, fol-
lowed by the careless George Sea Ot
ter, went Into the lumber yard to suc
cor tho enemy. Ogllvy set an example
to the men by stepping Into the open
nnd starting briskly to work with n
shovel.
At tire bottom of tho pile of lumber
tho Hlack Mlnorcn was discovered witn
n severe flesh wound In his right hip;
nlso he was suffering from numerous
bruises nnd contusions. George Sea
Otter possessed himself of the fallen
cholo's rlllo, while Hryce picked the
wretch up and carried him to his nuto
mobile.
"Tuko the swine over to the Lnguna
Grande Lumber company's hospital
and tell them to patch him up," ho or
dered George Sea Otter. "I'll keep both
rifles and tho ammunition here for
Jules Kondoau and his woods gang
They'll probably bo dropping In on us
about '- a. m., If I know anything about
Colonel Pennington's wny of doin
things." .
Having dlspntched tho HInck Minor
cn to hold up the work until the ar
rival of re-enforcoments, Colonel Pen
nlngton fairly burned the streets en
route to his home. He was desirous ot
getting Into a henvy ulster before von
Hiring forth again Into tho night air.
The violent slam with which he
closed the front door after him brought
Shirley, In dressing gown nnd slippers
to the staircase.
"Uncle Sethi" she cnlled. "What's

"Theres tho devil to pay," ho an

Shirley was standing In the doorwny
as he faced about from the telephone.
"Uncle Seth," she said quietly, "use
any honorable method of defeating
Hryce Cardigan, but call off the Hlaclc
Minorca. I shall hold you personally
responsible for Bryce Cardigan's life,
and If you fnll me, I shall never for
give you."
"Silly, silly girl !"f he southed her.
'Don't you know I would not stoop to
bush-whacking? There's some shoot
ing going on, but Its wild p hooting, just
to frighten Cardigan and his men off
the Job."
"You can't frMten him," sho cried
passionately. "You know you can't.
He'll kill the Hlack Minorca, or tho
Black Mlnorcn will kill him. Go ln-
stnntly and stop It."
"All light, nil right!" he said rather
humbly, and sprang down the front
steps Into the wnltlng car. "I'll play
the game fairly, Shirley, never fear."
She stooll In the doorway and
watched the red tall-light, like a
malevolent eye. disappear down tlio
street. And presently ns she stood
there, down tho boulovnrd n huge gray
car enme slipping noiselessly so
noiselessly, In fact, that Shirley recog
nized It by that very quality of silence.
It was Bryco Cardigan's Napier.
"Gcorgo!" she cnlled. "Come here."
The car slid over to the gate and
stopped nt the sight of the slim white
llgure running down the garden wnlk.
"Is Mr. Cardigan hurt?" sho demand
ed In nn ngony of suspense.
George Sea Otter grunted comtemp-
tuously. "Nobody hurt 'cept the Black
Minorca. 1 am taking him to your
compnny hospltnl, miss. He tried to
shoot my boss, so I shot him myself
once through the leg. Now my boss
says: 'Take him to the Lnguna Grando
hospital, George.' Me, I would drop
this greaser lu tho bay If I was tho
boss."
She laughed hysterically. "On your
way back from the hospital stop nnd
pick me up, George." she ordered.
Ho touched his broad hat, and she
returned to the house to dress.
Meanwhile Colonel Pennington hnd
reached the crossing onco more, sim
ultaneously with the nrrlvnl of Sum
Perkins, the chief of police, accom
panied by two automobiles crnmmed
with pntrolmen. Perkins strutted up
to Bryco Cardigan and Buck Ogllvy.
"What's the meaning of nil this row,
Mr. Cardigan?" ho deninnded.
"Something has slipped, Sam,"
Bryce retorted pleasantly. "You've
been culling me Bryco for the past
twenty years, and now you're mister
ing me! Tho inennliig of this row,
you nsk?" Bryco continued. "Well,
I'm engaged In limiting n Jump cross

me by tho city council of Sequoln.
Here's the franchise." And he thrust
the document under the police chiefs

Required for Harvest.
"Ttnlns of the pnst week which ht.-vfr
been general throughout all portions
of Western Canada, covering MANI
TOBA, SASKATCHEWAN, nnd AL
BEItTA, hnve placed beyond all mnn
ner of doubt the certainty of vast
grain crops throughout the entire dis
trict. Reports from all points Indicate
marvelous and rapid growth. Tho
conditions of n week or bo bnck, which
were decidedly less promising nnd led
many to think thnt there might be a
partial failure, hnve disappeared al
together nnd now there Is a wave of
optimism clrculntlng throughout the
entire country.
In 1015 there were enormous yields
reported from all parts. id It would
appear now ns If In many places the
yields of 1015 would be equaled If
not beaten.
What might nppear to be a draw
back, Is the apparent shortage of fnrm
help. The Province of Mnnltobu
through Its Employment Bureau In
Winnipeg. Is asking for 10,000 hnrvest
hands and over, offering from $5 to
$0 per day. The Province of Sas
katchewan Is asking for 15.000 extra
hands to tnke care of tho Immense
hnrvest that Is certL-Iii to be reaped
In that Province. In Albertn the crop
area Is somewhat less, the labor con
ditions somewhat better, and Is mak
ing n request for 5,000 extra form
hands.
Interviewing the officials of the dif
ferent Governments, they are Inclined
to the opinion that as the crops In
Kansi.. Nebraska, South Dakota, Illi
nois and other Central States are har
vested there will be n movement north

care of the labor situation. With the

Thousands Have Kidney

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are consfltnHy in direct touch with
the public, there is One preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmers bwamp-Itoot is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of tho
pr .minent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is to
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica- '
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at nil drug stores in bottles of two Bizci,
medium and large.

sreat preparation send ten cents to Dr.
