AIIIIY entered upon Lid new duties the following morning .a n spirit anything but rcas surin;; to li is companion. Up tt that time he had made his own in dustry tin? butt of much good natured ridicule, viewing it apparently as a sort of vacation novelty armi'sing enough while the novelty lasted. But he went from task to task that nest d;:y iu a methodical, dogged fashion llK.t was farthest of all from amiabili ty. Two or three times Steve, trying to si are him needkra effort, attempt ing to show him how to favor blistered ':a::ds and aching bade, met with re liuL's s curt that he learned to keep his advice to himself. lie knew what cud Harry was working to achieve. He would have allowe'd himself to smile over the thought that the other man would he tiled enough before night -ame without trying to make that work any harder, only he did not dare venture that smile. "You've been trying to help me," Garry said to Steve. "You've been try ii:g to throw me a line. And for a ti:::e I tried to catch it, Steve. Hut it isn't in mo to try that hard any more. Some men do things for what there is iv. it the pecuniary reward, I mean. Some men you. for instance because their self respect won't let them stop, win or lose. But now and then there "Miriam Burrell!" h breathed. happens one who keeps on trying only because there is one other person at lean who may be the gladder for his success. I don't expect you to under stand. I know it will sound small and cowardly to you. It's too lone'ome liv ing, Steve, when there's no one who cares whether you live or not!" "That does not fit your case, Steve objected instantly, "when your danger or your safety eeps a woman watch ing white faced "with terror through the ni'zht for your return." tJarry propped himself upon one el bow, the better to see the speaker's countenance. -My safety?" he repeated blankly. "My return:" And then, wanly grate ful. "You .are not the sort of man who lies convincingly, Steve." And then Stephen O'Mara let him hae it all the story which had lain so many days In his heart. There w ere times when Iarry went even paler during the short recital, times when everything else "wag submerged by the incredulity that flooded hisface. But 1 .of ore Steve had finished the last trace of doubt was gone. Before the end t ame Marry had bowed his head, this time in flushed, self conscious wonder which transhgured him. "Miriam Bmtell!" he breathed. "1'roud, intolerant" I lis; head came np. The next in flr.nt he voiced the words which Steve tijost wanted to hear. "You shouldn't have told me this," I sr.id he. "You had n3 right, unless Steve laughed at him. "God bles you, boy." he exclaimed. "I asked her if I might. Why, don't you understand that she meant to her self if I didn't? You see, she is far, far braver, than you are. Garry." Garry lifted his hands and hid bis f.ve. So quietly that his esit made no sound Steve slipped to his feet and pissed outside. It had stopped rain ing. The hardwood ridges, touched by frost, were flaming streaks of col or against the rain washed evergreens when he picked his way down to the river Rud found a dry stone for a seat. An hour and more he sat there while his thoughts went back over the trail of the years, the trail which had led him from that cabin to a ialr of vio let eyes and lips that arched like a boy's. Steve let his rnind turn again unre pt rvedly to his own problem that morn ing. He tried to face sure eyed the road which still stretched ahead. lie did not know that Garrett Devereau, the debouaire, the cynical, the world weary and world wise, had broken d'wn and was sobbing noiselessly, as in?n ob. in tfap roim which h? had left, shaking with deep and terrible gasps that racked his verr soul. Bnt it was already daybreak; it was trail's end now for Garry. It does make a difference if one knows that some one cares. I'pon their return to Thirty Mile two nights later Joe's attitude of criticism was the first thing which piqued Steve's interest. There was something ludicrous in the former's voice as he sat and anathematized the food which the cook by brought to the table, even though he devoured hungrily all that his plate would hold. And because Joe was so obviously primed for a sen sation that eveniug out of sheer per versity Steve struggled to draw him into a discussion of a topic which, just as obviously, had, no appeal just then. "What I hope to do," he confided gravely to Garry, "is to finish up at Morrison and make possible the trans fer of some of those men up here. We are working only one shift now. With Lwo I figure we could sail along a-fog-ging. How does that strike you. Joe?" That was only one of his many at tempts, but all of them, save for the Inner laughter which they afforded, were totally without result. Joe's an swers were monosyllable, his attention wandering at best. To that particular question he nodded his head spirit lessly. "This butter ain't none too fresh." ho growled sourly, "and I wonder if that cook boy thinks we dote on ham every meal? I don't for one. It may be all right if a man's plumb starving to death, but it don't lend no real ele gance to a repast." That gloomy complaint brought little more than a sparkle to Steve's eyes, but It made Garry lean forward iu his place. Throughout the meal while the ether two fenced in just such fashion he forgot his own food to listen, de lighted anticipation in every feature. And when they had finished supper and pushed back their chairs he stood grinning a little, watching Joe survey that littered room which served as of fice and sleeping quarters for the chief engineer of the East Coast company. Fat Joe's gaze swung from wall to wall, from Uttered corner to heaped up chair. Then he shook his head in de spair. "It looks to me, Steve," he grunted, "as though you ain't never had no real training in tidiness, have you? There don't seem to be no system at all in the way you leave your things around. There's one boot over in that corner; It's pot a mate, I know, because I saw you take them off last night I wouldn't be certain otherwise. And it's the same way with all your things. Just look at this room! A nice place to receive call ers in, now ain't It?" That was the first lead he. tendered them, but Steve, rather than gratify him with a direct question, chose to go forward in the dark. He leaned over and followed his usual custom when he wanted to think. He tapped out his ripe- "But I can always find everything." he defended "that is, unless you have taken the trouble to put things away. Then it's a tossr.p that something or ot"her will never ue found until it turns up of its own accord. It's not so bad, Joe." lie, too, swung to survey the room. "Xot so bad! Just a little unset tled, that's all. Are we likely to have any callers, do you think, who would object to this layout?" Joe snorted, but hi eyes were mournful. He knew that there was nothing else to do but y4eld a part at least. "We ain't likely to," he murmured. "We're just naturally bound to have ein. They're comln' in tomorrow, and I ask you again, ain't this a pleasing prospect to greet 'em?" For all that he seemed to be staring ruefully down the room, he was watch ing for the surprise that darted across Steve's face. Momentarily the latter had forgotten his assumed air of placidity. "Tomorrow? Who?" And then Steve laughed. "Go ahead and tell us, Joe. I'm beat! I'll admit that I'm panting" with curiosity." Joe 'pulled up a chair and' dropped into it. It appealed to him. this meth od, whenever he had the time to spare. His pink face was still innocent of guile. "I don't mind the men folks," he, re sumed. "That fat party, I mean, who w ears the plaid suits, nor Caleb Hun ter, either. Both of them are used to such truck as this. And I reckon it'll tickle the ladies too. But I can see Honey sticking his, nose in the air and snlfBn' supercilious like the first min ute he gets his nose in the door. He ain't going to apprqve at all, at ail not any way you loot at it." "Honey r Both Steve and Garry igtiored the rest of Joe's explanation to gasp that single word hi concert. "Who in the world do you mean by Houev?'" "Who ceuld 1 mean?" Joe demanded collectedly. "I didn't give him the name, did I? I mean that char Wiok- ersham, who owns the timber north of us. Foreign, ain't he? Sure, I thought so? Well, every time I run across that man's path my heart swells with patriotism. I guess I'm just as tfad to be Worn plain United States." The first part of that statement was listened to c losely enough by both men; the last sentence or two, for all that it was heartfelt and sincere, was lost Upon them both. And Steve's mirth was even more hysterical than was that of Garry Devereau. "Honey!"' he panted. "Now, isn't that a wonder? Joe, you're, too'good! Yoti are altogether too good to be wasted on these timbered solitudes. Men pay $2 a seat, Joe, to hear per formers work who are rank ttmr.teurs in comparison with you." The riverman's eyes grew belliger ent. "Funny, is it? So awful funny! Well, perhaps you think I can't read plain print yet, never havin' enjoyed a lib eral education. Hut take a look for yourself." He pulled up a pile of newspapers which had come in since their absence, sorted out one that was creased open and handed it to Steve. It was an an nouncement of Barbara Aliison's en gagement to the lion. Archibald Wirk ersham that column to which Fat Joe had folded the sheet a many days old anonuncement now. But the smile did not even stiffen upon Steve's lips. The picture which accompanied it was a poor one, heavy shadowed and smeared and lacking in detail, yet Bar bara's face was unmistakable. The room became quiet. In that luuh Garry realized that Joe's mistaken, translation of the title had not been, as Joe had himself suggested, dne to lack of knowledge, but to a desire to apprise his employer delicately of that which he believed was si ill news to him. And yet, from the easy way in which he redd it, word for word. Garry was positive that all this which the New York daily blazoned forth with its customary mixture of snob bishness nnxl vulgarity was no longer news to Steve. "The latter's eyes lifted and dwelt long upon fat .Tee's f:'ce. So that's where you got it. was it. Joe?" he asked evenly. "You make it Honoy,' do you? And when do they come in. Joe?" "Tomorrow night. One of the team sters brought word this afternoon, just before you got back. Honey is going to have a look at his trees and things, the way I understand it. And tho rest of them, I take it, want to look us over In our wild state. Where arc wt going to put them girls?" Steve's answer was long irr coming. "Miss Allison :" he wanted to know. "And that tall, red headed cue, Joe corrected promptly. I don't remember her name, but she's coming' too.' As studiously as he had done a mo ment before. Garry agaim avoided Steve's eyes. "Miriam Burrell." the latter supplied the omission. "And that's fine, isn't it? How long are they going to stay. Joe?" But Joe had finished with trifling. "Where are we going to put them?" he insisted doggedly. "Why. we have a couple of shelter tents somewhere in the d utile, haven't we? We might pitch those if he 1 ioked about ruminatively "if you think this is too squalid." Jce turned appoalingly to Garry, only to meet eyes flaring with deviltry. 'lf you think that I'm going to give up my quarters for a troup of curious sightseers youe mistaken. If that's what you turned toward me for don't allow yourself to dweil upon it another minute. I'm a laboring man. and I have to have decent rest at nights. Do you suppose t'ecile, the maid, would really mind a tent?" And then Joe's face went red. "Now aiu't you the pair of rough jok ers?'' he whined. "Ain't you, though? But what's it going to be this room or Garry's? The way I look at it we're elected to camp out ourselves. We're hardened sons of the wilderness, you know. That's what they always call us In print. But how am I going to get this place cleaned up?" For another hour Joe argued it and at last settled upon the- storehouse building as the likeliest for sleeping quarters for the feminine portion of the visitors. "We have to eat in here, anyhow," he argued, "so I guess it's the best ar rangement we can hit on. Honey won't be here much to meals either. That'll be one nice thing about it. He'll be going north directly. And now now I guess I'll go out and have a look at the pantry, even if it dx?s make me feel sort of faint every time I think of the grub we've got on hand. Canned beans and boiled potatoes and houi and bacon to round out a banquet. Why couldn't a couple of mighty hunters like you bring home more than one lit tle haunch of venison? Bacon and Ix-ans! Steve, you sure have been liv ing mighty low down on this job.'" He went out with a great show of haste, but returned almost immediate ly, forgot the urgency of matters in general iu finding Garry idly shutlling a deck of cards. Throughout the eve ning Joe had exhibited an unwilling ness to meet the third man's glances dirertly. but it was impossible for him to remain oblivious to the clicking of the chips. He balanced first on one foot and then on the other for a mo ment, then diffidently drew up a chair. "Just a friendly hand or two. I sup pose," he suggested when the other made no move to begin. "Low limit and wide open, eh?" Garry still toyed with the cards. "I don't suppose you've ever forgot ten the first game in which we in dulged, have you, Joe?" he asked at length. Joe was not comfortable. "Scarcely," he admitted, "scarcely." "Nor the stakes?" pursued Garry. "I I seem to recall 'em faintly." Garry's ycal of amusement was a rolliekin? a a boy's. "So da I." he exclaimed. l'Afl(L.iU' remember rightly you stated on that occasion that cash was no considera tion with you. Does that still hold good?" It was th? first good look had ct the other's face. The change he found in it seemed -to rerplex hiui more than a little. "I take it that it does." Garry did not wait for his reply. And now what do you say to that same full bot tle against a a ninety-nine year blan ket ivstriction. with me at the wrong end of the odds?' Joe flitted his eyes. (To Be Continued.)
