Obediently then they collected in a small knot behind him. murmurous, ;:utturally gnimliliii-r. The comin:; of Wickershauf s men was not a thim; of decrees. They pour ed into view tliror.-rh the brush frinc:;' at the north ode of the marsh and baited, but only for an instant ""Who is your friend at the time when you need a friend?

And there camp a lull in the valley at Thirty Mile, broken only by heavy breathing ami the crunch of loirs jamminir be neath the bridcre and the uidy swirl of backed up water. And then Ilarriiran stood forth. Jaivz mius da n sling, palms back, almost to Ids knees, that red headed one minced forward on the balls of his feet. Har ridan was redeeming a promise many weeks overdue. It was spring, and Ilarriunn bad oino back! "I'm here." he spoke to that bowed head, "if you are afthcr carin' to wel come me!" 'I've been cxpeetiiur you. Ilarrigan." Atrain that startlinir mildness. There is little wonder that it deceiv ed Ihe riverman. listening, "watching O'Mara's slack form, even Fat Joe's face burned, even Archie AYk-kersham's dared flash in triumph. And Ilarrigan's went savagely exultant. "You talked out loud to me once." he (minted. "Js it so diihcult you find it now to speak up su I can hear'.'" "Would you promise to listen to ar gument. 1Iarri-.au.-" Vililicaiion tore at the other's lips un til friend and enemy marveled at what Steve took in silence. "Vou have beiruu many things in this eounthry." the lomr tirade end ed. "Vou came out of these woods with rairs :i your back and started at bcin" a gcntlcman'when we were only blioys. You've mace a gr-reat suc cess it with the ladies, we'll irr-rant you that. Fm vou should have stuck to your soft and lily white pastime, for when you aimed to turn this river into a gentleman's proposition you started soniethiuir too nig for you f finish. I'm takinir it off your hands r.cv7. Can't T'-.-.i even talk back like a v "Maybe you nre right. Ilarrigan." Steve saifl. "Yen may be I do not know. I have started bis: things ami left them unfinished. Rut you ate wronir for the rest of it. Ilarrigan. for i am iroiair to finish yon!" Like a blast of wrath O'Mara lifted and struck him. Ilarrigan's hands had nut left his hips before he met the ground, and he was back on his feet like a bounding ball, only to go down again before the smashing impact of , those blows. Caution he tried to use in rising, and they searched out his face, his chin, and drove Lira hither and yon. Open tightin was not the river style of fighting, and he closed tiiis time aud wrapped his gorilla arms about this fury who fought witfi light ning strokes to keep him off. His greater weight o'crbore them both. lie b-oke away, and his hobnailed boots pishing out bit the flesh of O'Mara's templo--thcy tore 't!-e turf where his face had been. There was "madness in Harrigau's hideous roarings of hate, madness in his blind rushes, and his bull strength availed at first. He weathered destruc fion and managed to close again. This time the lighter man was ready for Tie scuff of those, armed boots. He t .vistcd and covered his face with his e boulder, and only his shirt ripped open to iPt blood stream from the rent. On their feet they rocked to their knees! Faces grindics into tlie "earth, they k strained and broke away. And always Harrigin came back and found him blindly. Once his hairy hands search ed O'Mara's face, and O'Mara's fore head went wet with the agouy of fin gers tearing at bis eyesockets. Drop ping, be escaped that gouging grip. Coming up, be caught Harrigau's cbm and turned him over backward. llarrigau squandered bis strength in drunken rushes, his breJth in screams of hate. And now Steve was laughing aloud, fie fccrSir that she was 'watch i?5" W Fh - ing, laiew what loathing was "in her ej-es. And be he was a riverman! Sobbing for air, dripping crimson from forehead and shoulder, he set himself and swung from the waist. Like a pole axed ox Ilarrigan stopped as he was lurching in. His mouth sagged; his eyes flew wide in a fixed and stupid stare. Then his legs folded under him andJio swayed limply down. But that blast of wrath would not lot him lie! It raised him and beat him down again; raised him and beat him down. By his throat Steve swung him up by throat and buckled belt. High over his head he swung that bulk and lashed forward from his heels. And Ilarri gan went back to his panting follow ers. Twisting and spinning, his body swept Shayne and Fallon to the ground. Allison had not stirred, nor putty faced Wickersham, nor the girl who stood with hands nt breasts. And now toward them Stephen O'Mara wheeled. His legs "would fail him. and he steadied them. Blood blinded him, and he wiped it away. Swaying giddily, he managed somehow a smile. "Wickersham. I have met the roan whom you hired to fight for you." he called clearly, "and he has earned his wage! Are you man enough to step forward now and fight for yourself':" Wickersham clucked drily in his throat and lifted an elbow to shield his face. Shrinking back behind the first shelter that chance afforded him. he put the girl between him and bis fear. And then weakness seized upon that sick and swaying man, but he spoke to her to the unspeakable horror in her eyes. "Barbara," he called thickly, "Bar bara:" He groped toward her, and she cried out and drew back from such hands as those. Then a black wall rose be fore him and shut her from his sight Fat Joe caught him as be fell. Like huddled sheep O'Mara's men and Wickersham's watched Joe bear 'Is He Set Himself and "Swung From the Waist. him up the hill. Shayne and Fallon were bending over Ilarrigan; by the others he lay ignored. It was a mob without a leader until, as is the way in all crises, a new leader arose. Rig Louie," stolid face no longer stolid, strode between those two factious and achieved the unknown heights for which his eyes had always hungered. "I work for no man but is a muni' he boomed. "That bridge she still is hold!" Steve had bidden Hard wick Flliott j watch these men if their big moment ever came. And Flliott and Allison watched now. They were sheep no longer nor malcontents nor misled tools of cunning. Like wolves they followed that nameless man who was out upon the jam. Vickersham's men were back on the river, but that bridge would continue to hold. And while they worked, while Elliott and her fa ther watched spellbound, bliudly Bar bara Allison turned, with no thought of what she was doing, and walked into the brush. The river was running clear by dusk when they raised the first hue and cry for her. It was dark when a runner borttoo news to the cabin on the hill side ihat she was missiDg. Aud when men had been beating the woods for her for twelve hurs as best they could iu the dark and no word came that she was found Fat Joe no longer dared let lie in sleep his friend, whose body he had cleansed and bandaged. At day break Joe waked bim and told him Barbara was lost. They tried to argue with him, for his knees were still un steady. Lvcn Allison, whose jovial body seemed to have shrunk during his hours of waiting, tried to convince him that the men now looking for her would find her sor?n or had already found her perhaps. But he brushed them away, while he was dressing.. He ,t . .7 threw o:T the bands that tri.'d to'detain Lim. And it was Steve who found' her, as he bad known it would be, just be fore a second night of dread was cios lug iu upon her. In circles of-ever increasing radius he traveled at u fox trot, "which thoughts of Fallon and Shayne and He Carried Her Now to That Cabin Which Stood on the Balsam Knoil. Ilarrigan would not let him abandon. But lie h:td run her down when ho caught sight of her. for she fled like a wild thing before him. Floundering in a cedar swamp, soaked to the knes. little blue befurred suit heavy with black muck, be came up with her. Shu was kneeling, shaking with terror, face hidden by her loosened hair, when ho bent over her and raised her to her feet. "l'lease," she whimpered, "ch, please" Yet when be spoke her name her head leaped back, and &he recognized him insiantly. "I tried to wait." she chattered v.ith all the voice she had lefi. "I tried to sit still until some one came for me, but I thought I knew the way. I tried not to listen to the noises. I remem bered about the stars, and 1 knew 1 shouldn't run. Rut 1 thought you were I thought you wore" Remembered tern r choked Iicr. Con sciousness slipped away. Ry the same trail whiclmnce had lei bim tv the "city" of Morrison 1 o car ried hev now to that cabin wha-h stood on the balsam knoll in the crook of the wet 1 'ra.nch. His head was spinning from fatigue and the throb of the jagged tear above his temple when the b g hubding. streaked white with clay chinking, loomed up ahead, and yet involuntarily he stpiKd there a moment with his burden. lie bad pk ture d 'many times a night when be should brief- her there, with both of them watching the moon in the rapids and listening to the waves lip!-ng the hanks. This was net that night. That night would never be. Rut the ro'o'.Ho!i "and bitlern-ss were gone from his heart. After he had removed her wet shoes and stockings and brush whipped suit and sheer b!a--.k blouse r.iid she slept the sleep of exhaustion into which she had slipped from un consciousness without even openiug her eyes he built a tirjj and sat befure it until morning came. And when it dawned and she waked dazedly while he was preparing breakfast he bad fin ished reconstructing many things. Her eyes went from wall to Avail, frightened still and juestioninir t first, so he merely nodded and went outside and left her to remember alone. Re turning with wood on Ins aim. h found recollection of much in her ga.e. She was looking at the thru heeled, buttoned boots before the fireplace, the stockings and furred garments cleaned of mud and dried on the 1 nicks Oi chairs. A cloud of color stole up from the blanket edge at her throat to the line of her hair. "Vou Avcre wet," he explained s im ply . "and you were too spent to help yourself. I could not let you sleep in them." ,"1 understand," her answer faltered a little. "I was just thinking. I knew such things happened, but I thought it was only in books." Drowsily she watched him bending over frying pan and coffeepot, content herself to lie and rest. Rut after a time, with fuller awakening, the band ace about his head claimed her atten tion. To her it seemed impossible that this smoothly shaven man in clean blue shirt could b the same one who had emerged from a struggle still sicken higly brutish to her. involuntarily she shuddered a little without knowing that he watched. "I am going to the spring for fresh water," he told her then. "There will be time for you to dress, and breakfast will be ready when I come back." Submissive before his tone she re plied that she was hungry; that she would be ready too. She bad donned blouse and skirt and stockings and id iocs and finished braiding her hair when be re-entered. He showed her a ti bashi outside filled with ic;v water for her face and hands. And then lhcy Fat down iu siienre t breakfast. "1 told you th.it you would find out some day," Barbara mv.rmute 1 finally. "I warned you you v.ouid wal:e sud denly and see how shallow I am." "Waking has been no sud:!cn thing with me. 1 finished with dreams a long time back, but you are what you have bojui always iu my thoughts. It's conditions i've waked to. not you!" i With unwitting ' gi-ud'iiess he had sometimes tpokeu to her. but never with such coulraiiied vehemence. "Why should I find' fault in anything you hare df;xie cr failed to do?" he demanded of both her and himself. " Why shouid you be apologetic or xs- two davs ago has heia ,, , to ? your worni aim m-u-i ocv.Hl hut I ' can't find it in myseir to be ui;ol j eitber, because it is a part of iQiUe- j again any day. It was a vulgar brawl to you: to me" "Not just a brawl." she contradicted quickly, anxious to be understood: Just oh, so needlessly brutal. At first it left me only dazed and nause ated, but after I had had time to think I made myself see your side of it. You must crush insubordination. And still it seems r.s though there might have been a less horrible way." "He had balked my work," he told her sternly. "He has fired upon me from cover when he dared not come out into the open. lie has been taking money for his vork from a man who was bent on boating me at any cost. Could I in k him please not to spoii my bridge V Is that jour idea of a man's way? This is my work, and while I continue in it men who oppose me with their brains I Aviil light with my brain. Rut men who force me to meet them with fi-ts I must beat with Ifke weap ons. There is no alternative. I have no choice unless I quit. And that is the reason I know that this is the end for you aud me,I My ways would have had to be c.v.r ways, and we have learned at last what I have feared for long and long. They lie too far apart for them ever to meet. "I promised to teach you to love me. and I've failed. And knowing that my failure is not all my own fault is not going to make it any easier for me. You've taught mo loneliness I'm never going to forget as long as I live, but I don't love you any the less for thak I dreamed big dreams for both of us." His voice was dreary of a sudden. "I promised I'd make these dreams come true, because I thought my bfe could be your life. I've not done so. That thing could never bo. I've talked big ger than I could practice, and that is not going to help my self confidence any. but as it stands now I can earn it b'ck. I couldn't have done that if I had married you and waked some day to find you shrinking from me. It would have killed it and my self re spect, too, to have learned too late that you believed stiil in your own greater fineness." ' I tell you it is not that!" she cried out. "Can't I make you understand" "You have made me understand till I am sure,' he slated. "I am no longer vexing myself with trivial things. You have been unoer'ain. I have seen that. You are certain now. Aud the funda mental thing remains unchanged. In me there is that man who once man handled Ilarrigan and you didn't want me to touch you! You don't have to te'l me any more that you can't love me. When you drew away from me, that was enough." She sat and watched him put the room in order, and that hurt her more than anything else, for be would not let her help. He made her change her high heeled hoojs for moccasins, which he brought and laced upon her feet. Rut the remainder of the day it was the old Steve who helped her over the bad bits of going and talked discon nectedly of many things meanwhile. And yet no longer the old Steve, who had been so entirely her own. Hers was the sad face when they entered the clearing at Thirty Mite', and a hoarse shout saluted her return. In her father's embrace she clung and wondered that she did not cry. And two pages had turned for her that day, for she scut "Wickersham. back his ring the same night the private car rolled down to Morrison.
