Late in the afternoon the two men
reached Dam Three, OF, rather, the spot
on which Dam Three had stood. The
same spectacle repeated itself here, ex-
cept that Ellis, the dam watcher. was
nowhere to be SEEN
''The dirty whelps!' cried Thorpe.
'They did good jobv'
He thrashed about here and there
and so came across Ellis blindfolded

asked few questions. After the low

But the young man did not reply. He
swung, with the same long, nervous
stride, into the down river trail.
Until late that night the three men-
for Ellis insisted on accompanying them

walked tirelessly, upheld by his violent

brought its accumulation Of slow anger
against the perpetrators of the outrage.
Even as the woodsmen joined their
group they had reached the intensity
Of execution. Across their purpose
Thorpe threw violently his personality.
"You must not go!' he commanded.
Through their anger they looked at
him askance.

They shrugged their Indifference and
