He took her ndornhlo little nose In
his grent thumb nnd forefinger nnd
tweaked It gently. "The light began

fectly delightful young fellow, and he
hnd a proposition to unfold. It seems
the Northwestern Pacific has decided
to build up from Wllllts, and all that
powwow and publicity of Buck Ogll
vy's about the N. O. 0. was In all
probability the very thing that spurred
them to action. They figured the
C. M. & St. P. was back of the N. C. O.
that It was to be the first link In a
chain of coast roads to be connected
ultimately with the terminus of the
O. M. & St. P. on Gray's Harbor, Wash
ington. And If the N. C. O. should be
built It meant that a rival road would
get the edge on them In the matter
of every stick of Humboldt nnd Pel
Norte redwood and they'd be left
holding the sack."
"Why did they think that, dear?"
"That amazing rascal, Uuck Ogllvy,
used to bo a C. M. & St. P. man; they
thought they traced nn analogy, I dare
say. Perhaps Ituck fibbed to them. At
any rate this right-of-way man was
mighty anxious to know whether or
not the N. C. O. had purchased from
the Cardigan Redwood Lumber com
pany n site for a terminus on tide
water (wo control all the deep-water
frontage on the bny), and when I told
him the deal had not yet been closed
lie started to close one with me."
"Did you close?"
"My dear girl, will a duck swim?
Of course I closed. I sold throne-quarters

shook his bead. "I must go on," he
relfarntcd,
"IV) you realize what that resolution
means to us?" The girl's tones were
grave, her glance grnver.
"I realize what It means to me!"
She came closer to hlin. Suddenly
the blnze In her violet eyes gave way
to one of mirth. "Oh, you dear big
booby!" she cried. "I was Just test
ing you." And she clung to him. laugh

you'd never build the N. C. O.?"
"Ood bless my mildewed soul 1" ho
murmured, nnd drew her to him.
In the gathering dusk they walked
down the trull. Heslde the madrono
tree John Cardigan waited patiently.
"Well," he queried when they
Joined hlin. "did you find my handker
chlef for me, son?"
"I didn't find your handkerchief,
John Cardigan," Bryce answered, "but
I did find what I suspect you sent me
hack for and thnt Is a perfectly won
derful daughter-in-law for you!"
John Cardigan smiled nnd held out
his arms for her. "This," he said, "Is
the happiest day that I havo known
since my boy was born."
CHAPTER XIX.
Col. Setb Pennington wns thoroughly
crushed. Look which way he would
the bedeviled old rascal could find no
loophole for escapo
"You win, Cardigan," lie muttered
desperately us he sat In his office nfter
Shirley had left him. "You've had
more than n shade In every round thus
far, and at the finish you've landed a
clean knockout. If I had to fight any

lie sighed resignedly nnd pressed
the push-button on his desk. Sexton
ntoretl. "Sexton," he said bluntly
and Tvlth a slight (jjilver In his voice,
my niece and I have had a disagree
ment. We have quarreled over young
Cardigan. She's going to marry hlin.
Now, our affairs are somewhat In-
olved, and In order to straighten them
out we spun n coin to sec whether she
should sell her stock In Lngunn
Grande to me or whether I should sell
mlno to her and I lost. The book
nidation of the stock nt the close of
last year's business, plus ten per, cent
will determine the selling price, nnd I
shall resign as president. You will,
In nil probability, be retained to man
age the company until It Is merged
with the Cardigan Itedwood Lumber
compnny when, I Imagine, you will be
given ample notice to seek a new Job
elsewhere. Call Miss Sumner's attor
ney, Judge Moore, on the telephone
nnd ask him to como to tho office nt
nine o'clock tomorrow, when the pa
pers can be drawn up and signed.
That Is nil."
The Colonel did not return to his
home In Hedwood boulevard thnt night.
He had no appetite for dinner and sat
brooding In his ofllco until very late;
then he went to the Hotel Sequoia and
engngod a room. He did not possess
sufficient courage to face his niece
again.
At four o'clock the next day tho
Colonel, his baggage, bis automobile,
his chauffeur nnd the solemn butler,
James, boarded tho passenger steamer
for Sun Francisco, nnd at four-thirty
sailed out of Humboldt bay over the
thundering bar and on Into the south.
Tho Colonel wns still a rich mnn, hut
his dream of a redwood empire had
faded, and onco moro ho wns taking
up the search for cheap timber,
Whether lie ever found It or not Is a
matter that does not concern us.
At n . moment when young Henry
Poundslono's dream of legal opuleuco
wns fading, when Mayor Poundstono's
hopes for domestic pence bad been
sbnttered beyond repair, tho while his
cheap political nsplrittloiiH hnd been
equnlly devastated because of n cer

of Importance were transpiring. On

with his stick. nnd drenmlng dreams
which for the first tlmo In mnny years
were roso-tlnted. Heslde him Shirley
snt, her glnnco bent musingly out
across tho roofs of Sequoia nnd on to
tho bny shore, where tke smoke nnd
exhaust steam floated up from two
sawmills hor own nnd Hryco Card!
gun's. To her came at regularly spaced
Intervals tho faint whlnli; of tho saws
and the rumble of log trains crawling
out of the log dumps; high over the
piles of bright, freshly sawn lumber
she caught from time to tlmo the flush
of white spray'as the grent logs tossed
from tho trucks hurtled down tho
skids and crashed Into tho bny. At
the docks of both mills vessels were
loading, their tnll spars' cutting tho
sky line above nnd beyond tho smoke
stacks; far down the bay a steam
schooner, loaded until her main deck
was almost flush with tbowater, was
putting out to sea, and' Shirley heard
the faint echo of her siren as she
whistled her Intention to pass to star

In tow of a Cardigan tug.
"It's wonderful," sle said presently,
apropos of nothing.
"Aye," lie replied In his deep, melo
dious voice, "I've been sitting here, tny
dear, listening to your thoughts. You
know something, now, of the tie that
binds my boy to Seqtioln. This" he
'waved his arm abroad In the dark

fully. " 'The king Is dead. Long live
the king.' I wonder If your raised as
you have been, can face life In Sequnln
resolutely with my son. It Is n dull,
drab sawmill town, where life unfolds
gradually without thrill where the
years stretch ahead of one with only
trees, nmong simple folk. Tho life
mny bo hard on you, Shirley; one has
to acquire n tnste for It, you know."
I have known the lilt of bnttle,
John-partner," she answered; "hence
think I can enjoy the sweets of vic
tory. I nm content."
And what a run you did give thnt
boy Ilryce I"
She laughed softly. "I wanted him
to fight; I had n great curiosity to sec
the stuff thnt was In him," she ex
plained.
Next day Bryce Cardigan, riding tho
top log on the end truck of a long
train Just In from Cardigan's woods
In Township Nine, dropped from the
end of the log ns the train crawled
through the mill ynrd on Its wny to
the log dump, lie balled Huck Ogllvy,
where the latter stood In the door of
the office.
"Big doings up on Little Laurel
creek this morning, Buck."
"Do tell!" Mr. Ogllvy murmured
morosely.
"It wns great," Bryce continued.
Old Duncan McTnvIsh returned. I
knew he "would. Ills year on tho
mourner's bench expired yesterday,
and be enme back to claim his old Job
of woods boss."
"He's one year too late," Ogllvy de
clared. "I wouldn't let that big Cana
dian Jules Itondcnn quit for n farm.
Some woods boss, that and his first'
Job with this company was the dirtiest
on could hnnd him smenrlng grease
on the skid road nt n dollar nnd u hnlf
n day nnd found. He's mndo too good
to Ipse out now. I don't care whnt his
private morals may be. He can get
out the logs, hnng his rascally hide,
and I'm for him "
"I'm afraid you haven't anything to
say about It, Buc'f," Bryce replied,
dryly.
"I haven't eh? Well, any- time you
deny Ino tho privilege of hiring nnd ,
firing you're going to be out the serv
ice of a rattling good general mana
ger, my son. Yes, sir I If you hold
nie responsible for results I must se
lect the tools I want to work with."
"Oh, very well," Bryce laughed.
"Have It your own way. Only If you
can drive Duncan McTavlsh out of
Cardigan's woods I'd like to see you
do It. Possession Is nlno points of
the law, Buck nnd Old Duncan Is In
possession."
"What do you mean In possession?"
"I menu thnt at ten o'clock this
morning Duncan McTnvIsh appeared
at our log landing. Tho whisky fat
was ill gono from him nnd he ap
peared forty years old Instead of the
sixty that ho Is. With u whoop lie
came Jumping over tho logs, straight
for .Tides Rondeau. The big Canuck
saw him coming nnd knew what Ids
visit portended so lie wasn't taken
unawares. It was n cuso of fight for
his Job nnd Rondeau fought."
"The devil you say I"
"I do nnd there wns tho devil to
pay. It wns u rough and tumble nnd
no grips barred just tho kind of u
fight Uondenu likes. Nevertheless Old
Duncan floored him. While bo's been
away somebody taught him the hnm
mcr lock and tho crotch hold and n
few more fancy ones, nnd he got to
work on Rondcnu In a hurry. In
fnct ho had to, for 1 tho tussle hnd
gono over live minutes nonueiurs
youth would havo doclded the Issue."
"And Itoudcau wait whipped?"
"To a whisper. Mac floored him,
and choked htm until he bent the
ground with his freo hnnd In token of
surrender; whereupon old Duncan let
him up, nnd Uondenu went to his
shauty and packed his turkey. The
Inst I saw of him ho wns headed over
tho hill to Camp Two on Laguna
Grande. He'll probably chnso that as
slstimt woods boss I hired nfter tho
consolidation out of Shirley's woods
nnd help himself to the fellow's Job
I don't euro If he doe. What Interests
mc Is tho fnct thnt the old Cardigan
woods boss Is back on tho job In Car
dlgnn's woods, nnd I'm mighty glnd of
It. The old horsethlef hns had his
lesson and will remain sober here
after. I think he's cured."
"The infamous old outlaw 1"

morning?"
"Yes. Molrn rend the mail to him
and then took him up to tho Vnllcy of
the Giants, lie said ho wanted to do
n little quiet figuring on thnt new
steam schooner you're thinking of
building. He thinks she ought to bo
bigger big enough to carry two mil
lion feet."
Bryce glnnced nt his watch. "It's
hnlf after eleven," he said. "Guess I'll
run up to the Giant nnd bring him
home to luncheon."
He stepped Into tho Napier standing
outside the ofllce nnd drove nwny.
Buck Ogllvy waited until Bryce was
out of sight; then with sudden deter
mination he entered the ofllce.
"Molrn," he said abruptly, approach
ing the desk where sho worked, "your
dad Is back, nnd what's more. Bryce
Cardigan hns let him hnve his old Job
as woods boss. And I'm here to an
nounce thnt you're not going back to
the woods to keep house for him. Un
derstand? Now, look hero. Molrn. I've
shilly-shallied around you for months,
protesting my love, nnd I haven't got
ten nnywhere. Today I'm going to nsk
you for the Inst time. Will you marry
mo? I need you worse than thnt ras
cal of n futher of yours does, nnd I tell
you I'll not hnve you go back to the
woods to take care of him. Come,
now, Molra. Do give me a definite un
swer." "I'm nfrald' I don't love you well
enough to mnrry you, Sir. Ogllvy,"
Molrn pleaded. "I'm truly fond of you,
butr-"
"The Inst boat's, gone." cried Mr.
Ogllvy desperately. "I'm answered.
Well. I'll not stick around here much
longer. Molrn. I realize I must be a
nuisance, but I can't help being n nui
sance when you're near me. So I'll
quit my Job here nnd go back to my
old game of railroading."
"Oh, you wouldn't quit n ten-thou-snnd-dollnr
Job," Molra erled aghast.
"I'd quit a million-dollar job. I'm
desnerate enough to go over to the
mill nnd pick n fight with the big
bnndsnw. I'm going nway where I
can't see you. Your eyes ure driving
me crnzy."
"But I don't want you to go, Mr.
Ogllvy."
"Cnll me Buck," he qommnnded
shnrply.
"I don't wnnt you to go, Buck," she
repeated nieckly. "I shall feel guilty,
driving you out of a fine position."
"Then marry me and I'll stay."
"But suppose I don't love you the
way you deserve "
"Suppose! Suppose!" Buck Ogllvy
cried. "You're no longer certnln of
yourself. How dare you deny your
love for me? Eh? Molra, I'll risk It,"
Her pyes turned to him timidly, nnd
for the first time he snw In their
smoky depths a lambent flame. "I
don't know." she qunvered, "nnd It's a
blg.responslhlllty In case "
"Oh, the devil tnke tho case!" he
cried rapturously, and took her bonds
In his. "Do I Improve with nge, denr
Molra?" ho asked with boyish eager
ness; then, before sho could nnswer,
he swept on, a tornndo of love nnd
pleading. And presently Molra was In
Ids arms, nnd he was kissing her, nnd
sho wns crying softly because well,
she admired Mr. Buck Ogllvy; more,
she respected blm and wns genuinely
fond of him. Sho wondered and she
wondered, n quiet Joy thrilled her In
the knowledge thnt It did not seem
nt nil Impossible for her to grow, In
time, absurdly fond of this wholesomo
red rascal.
"Oh, Buck, dear," sho whispered, "I
don't know, I'm sure, but perhaps I've
loved you a llttlo bit for a long time."
"I'm perfectly wild over you. You're
tho most wonderful woman I ever
heard of. Old rosy-cheeks 1" And ho
pinched them Just to see the color
como and go.
John Cnrdlgan was seated In his
lumberjack's easy chnlr ns his son -ap
pronched. His lint lay on the litter
of brown twigs beside him; his chin
wns sunk on his breast, and his bend
was "held n llttlo to ono side In a lis
toning nttltudo; a vagrant little breeze
rustled gently a lock of his fine, long
whlto hntr. Bryce stooped over the
old man and shook him gently by the
shoulder.
"Wnko up, pnrtner," ho called cheer
fully. But John Cnrdlgnn did not
wnko, nnd again his son shook him.
Still receiving no response, Bryce lift
ed the leonlno old bend and gazed
Into his father's fnce. "John Cnrdl
gnn!" ho cried shnrply. "Wake up,
old pal."
Tho old eyes opened and John Car
llgun smiled up at his boy. "Good
son," ho whispered, "good son I" He
closed his sightless eyes again ns If
tho mero effort of holding them open
wearied him. "I've been sitting hero
wnltlng," he went on in the same
gentle whisper. "No, not waiting for
you, boy waiting "
Ills head fell over on his son's shoul
der; his hand went groping for
Bryco's. "Listen," he continued. "Can'
you hear It tho Silence? I'll wait for
you here, my son. Mother and I will
wait together now In this spot she
fancied. I'm tired I want rest. Look
after old Mac and Molra and Bill
Dandy, who lost his log at Oamp Soven
l&at fall and Tom Ellington's call

know, Bryce. They're your rcsponsl
bllltles. Sorry I can't wait to. see th
San Hedrln opened up, but I've lived
my life nnd loved my love. Ah, yes,
I've been happy so happy Just doing
things and drenmlng here among mj
Glauts and "
He sighed gently. "Good son," he
whispered ngnln ; his big body relaxed,
and tho great heart of tho Argonaut
was still. Bryce held him until tin
realization ciime to him thnt his father
was no more thnt like a wutch, tn
winding of which hns been neglected,
he hnd gradually slowed up and
stopped.
"Goodby, old John pnrtner 1" lie
murmured. "You've csfnped Into the
light at Inst. We'll go homo together
now, hut we'll come back again."
And with his father's body In hli
strong amis he departed from the little
nniphlthenter, wnlklng lightly with his
heavy burden down the old skliLrond
to the waiting automobile. And two.
days biter John Cnrdlgan returned to

the Giants, himself nt Inst nn infinites

that Is the diapason of the nges.
When tho funeral was over Shirley
and Bryce lingered until they found
themselves ulone beside the freshly
turned earth. Through a rift In the
great branches two hundred feet nllove
n pntch of cerulean sky showed faint

"Ho wns n glnnt nmong men." said
Bryce presently. "Whnt a fitting place
for hlin to lie!" He passed his arm
around his wife's shoulders nnd drew
her to blm. "You made It possible,
sweetheart."
Sho gazed up nt him In ndornMon.
And presently they left the Valley
of the Giants to fnce the world to
gether, strong In their faith to live
their lives nnd love their loves, to
drenm their dreams and perchance
when life should be done with and the
hour of rest nt hand, to surrender, sus-

WEALTH IN WEST.
Canadian Farmers Confident of

Boston Banker, Returning From Trip
Through the Country, Tells of Rich
Yields of Great Northwestern
Wheat Fields.
A Boston banker, desiring to re
cupernte from a season of strenuous
work, did what most bankers do. or
ihould do, took n holiday, nway from
the confines of the city life. Canada
wns In his mind. Ho would make tho
trip, learn something of the country,
breathe of Its ozono and return ex
hilarated both In mind and body. On
his return a few days ngo, he told the
reporter of the Wall Street Journal of
tho richness of tho vast fields of gold
en grnln thnt he snw on his trip
through the Cnnndlan West. Doubt
less he broke his Journey Into the
Canadian Rockies long enough to mnka
an Inspection of them. Who could
help It. ns from the cur window were
to be seen miles nnd miles of golden
Btooks, ranged row np'on row nwny
back to the lines of the horizon? lie
must hnve done so, for when he got
back to the Hub, he was filled with
enthusiasm over his trip nnd whnt ho
snw In Cnnndn, and he hud to get It
off his mind. It wns rcvenled In this
wny:
"Cnnnda Is getting strong, recover
ing by lenps and bounds from the de-.
presslon cniised by war. While unrest
and Inck of co-operation seem to bo
holding things buck on this side of
the border the Dominion to the north
faces nn era of unprecedented nctlvlty
and prosperity. One of tho basic
reasons for fills brilliant comeback In
tho rich yield of the grent northwest
ern wheat fields."
That the crops In Cannda, both east
nnd west, are meeting the expectation!
of the farmers Is n satisfying fnct,
whleh gives a positive assurance of a
yield that will mean millions of dol
lurs to the wealth of the country.
There will probably be ns much ns two
hundred million bushels of wheat to
export, giving nn ndded wealth to the
country of nearly hnlf a billion dol
lars. In all ports the crop yield
promises to be nbundnnt, nnd with
favorable weather from now on there
muy be expected a harvest that will
equal If not surpass that of 1015. It
will doubtless be pleasing to the many
readers of this paper to know that
the friends they have developing their
forms In this region of big crops nnd
good prices will participate In this
wealth, and whnt will he more plens-
Ing, Is the knowledge of the fact thnt
the wealth In which they will partici
pate comes from big prices for a
product produced from Innd purchased
at a cheap price.
Western Canada has never known
a failure In crops. There nre districts
where partial failures have been, but
consideration should he given to tho
fact thnt the country, that portion of
it In which the present grnln growing
lies. Is from seven to eight hundred
miles In length by'hnlf that distance
In breadth.
Because one speaks of the wonder
ful success of grnln growing there,
there should not- be lost sight of the
fnct that this Is only one Item In the
wealth-producing possibilities. There
Is cattle raising, with nil the advan
tages In every wny thnt It possesses
anywhere; the dalrylng.lndustry Is as
sumlng rcmnrkable proportions, nnd a
grent deal of attention Is given to the
development of this Industry, which Is
so. adaptable to the country, by both
federal and provlnclnl governments.
