he was the culprit.
A telephone message summoned him
TO the bank at IL o'clock the following
morning.
THAT means trouble" he told George

piled. IF Hiliard took any stock in
the story it seems like he'd have jump

Our machinery is ordered. You

water now?"
Sure! Wen have to go to some
other bank
''Humph, I'll wiring Fraser's neck "
muttered Emerson. I'VE have troubles
enough without any new ones"
1t was with no little anxiety that
he asked for the banker at the ap-
pointed hour and was shown into an
anteroom with the announcement:
''Mr. Hilliard is busy. He wishes
you TO wait"
Inside the glass partition Boyd heard
a woman's voice and Hilliard's laugh
ter He took some comfort in the
thought that the banker was in good
humor at least; but. being too nervous
to sit still he stood at the window,
gazing with vacant eyes at the busy
street crowds. Facing him across the
way was a bulletin in front Of a news
paper Office, and after a time he noted
idly among its various items of in
formation the announcement that the
mail steamer Queen had arrived at
midnight from Skagway. He wonder
ed why Cherry had not written. Surely
she must be anxious TO know his prog
ress. He should have advised her OF
his whereabouts.
The door to Hilliard's Office opened,
dress, then his own name spoken,
"Come in, Mr.. Emerson"
His attention centered on the ap-
preaching interview. he did not glance
toward the departing visitor until she
stopped suddenly at the outer door
and came straight toward him with
outstretched hands.
''Boydr'
He checked himself and turned to
face Cherry Malotte.
"Why, Cherry" he calculated, what

in his, and she laughed up into his
face. ain the name of heaven. where

'I arrived last night on the Queen"
she said. "Oh. I'm glad to see you."

the attendant announced TO Emerson.
Il must talk TO you right away
Boyd exclaimed hurriedly 81 won't
be long. Can you waltz"
Certainly: I'll wait right here, only
hurry. hurry
The pleasure Of seeing her was so
genuine that he squeezed her hands
heartily and entered Hilliard's sane
tum with a smile on his lips.
Soon he returned. The smile was
gone from his face Hilliard had now
refused to make the loan Of 100000
required for the enterprise. He told
Cherry. I'VE must have the money
or we are ruined" said the girl.
YES" answered Boyd wearily. He
made an engagement to meet Cherry
later and went to visit three other
bankers. but they all turned his propo-

companied her. leaving the others to

remained in sue b a state of preoccupa-
ton, even after their departure. that
Dir. Wayland's attempts at converse
ton elected only the vaguest ana
shortest of answers.
In the music room Mildred turned
upon Boyd. why didn't You tell me
about this woman before?"
"I didn't think of her"
"And yet she is young, beautiful, re-
fined, lives a romantic sort OF exist
ence and entertained you She
tossed her head, seated herself at the
piano and struck a few idle notes,
inquirtng casually, "Kalvik is the
name Of the place you are going, isn't
it?"
'Tt is"
'T suppose you win see a great deal
of this-Cherry Malotte?'
Undoubtedly, inasmuch as we are
partners"
"Partnersr' Mildred ceased playing
and swung about. What do you

Yes and no." he answered, feeling
again the weight of this last compi-

Nothing, only for the present please

She nodded comprehendingfy-
On that very night, in a little snow
smothered cabin crouching close
against the Kalvik bluffs. another girl
was ted ut piano. Her slim. white
fingers had strayed upon the notes of
a song which Boyd Emerson had sung.
In her dream filed eyes was the pic
ture OF rough garDed, silent man at
her shoulder, and in her ears was the
sound Of his voice. Clear to the last
melting note she played the air, and
then a pitiful sob shook her She
bowed her golden head and hid her
face in her arms. for q memory was
upon her, a forgotten kiss was hot
upon her lips, and she was very lonely.
At the hotel Emerson found Clyde
and Fraser in BaIt's room awaiting
him. They were noisy and excited at
the success Of the enterprise and at
the prospect Of immediate action
Boyd told them little of the news
that had startled him earlier IN the
evening beyond the bare fact that

that secrecy for the present was now

strike his associates, even when on the
train the next day they read the an
nouncement of it's formation In the
newspapers. Bait alone took notice OF
it and fell into a furious rage at bis
enemy's success.
No sooner were they fairly under
way for the west than Emerson began
the definite shaping Of his plans. He
and George carefully went over the
many details of their coming work
and sent many messages. with the re-

him cordially.
'I see you have carried out your

Precisely. Our Chicago correspond

that a combination has been formed.
We are naturally somewhat cautious
about financing a competitive plant
until we know what policy the trust
win pursue"
Here was exactly the complication
Boyd had feared; therefore 1t was with
some trepidation that he argued:
1.-The trust is in business for the mon
ey, and its very formation ought to be
conclusive evidence OF your good Judg-
ment- However, you have backed so
many plants such as mine that you
know as well as I DO the big profits
to be taken"
'sThat isn't the point Ordinarily we
would not waver an instant, but the
Wayland- Marsh outfit is apt to upset
conditions. If we only knew
''I know" boldly declared Boyd.
''dr. Wayland outlined his policy to
me before the public knew anything
about the trust"

some promising copper prospects"
HIN! That is news to me-"
Three weeks passed quickly In
strenuous effort. and then one morn
ing the partners awoke to the realiza-
ton that there was little more for
them to do.
Through it all Clyde had lent them
enthusiastic If feeble assistance, and
now that the strain was OF he gave
fitting expression to his delight by get
ting drunk. Being temperamental to
a degree, he craved company, and,
knowing full well the opposition he
would encounter from his friends, he
annexed a bibulous following of loaf
ers whose time hung heavy and who
were at all times eager to applaud
loose tongue SO long as it was ac-
companied by a loose purse. Toward
midnight 'Fingerless" Fraser, cruising
in a nocturnal search for adventure
and profit, found him in semimaudlin
state. descanting vigorously to his
train, and upon catching mention OF
the Kalvik fisheries snatched him
homeward and put him to bed, after
which he locked him into his room,
threw the key over the transom and
stood guard outside until assured that
he slept.
At an early hour the adventurer was
peremptorily reused to find Emerson
hammering at his door in fine fury.
What is this?'' demanded Boyd
through white lips, thrusting morn
ing paper before Fraser's sleepy eyes.
Its a newspaper" yawned the 9TH
era regular newspaper"
Where did this story come fromr
With menacing finger Boyd indicated
a front column, headed:

FISHERIES!

Supremacy of Alaskan Waters!
''I don't know"

past performances and the funny
page. What does it sayT
"It is the whole story of our enter
prise, but ridiculously garbled and ex-
aggerated 1t says 1 have headed a
new canning company to buck the
trust. 1t tells about Georges feud
with Marsh and says we have both
been secretly preparing to down him.
Good Lord! It's liable to queer US
with the bank and upset the deal"
II didn't give it out"
''It is all done in your particularly
picturesque style" declared Emerson
angrily. Alton swears he knows
nothing about it, so you must have
done ii. 1t is too nearly correct to
have come from a stranger"
''Well:" inquired Fraser quietly.
''The harm is done. but l want to
know who is to blame" When the
other made no answer except to stare
at him curiously he famed up. 'Why
don't you corfess?''
For the first time during their ac-
quaintance "Fingerless" Fraser seemed
at a loss for words. but whether for
shame or some other motive his COM
panion was unable to tell, His nature
was so warped that his emotions ex-
pressed themselves in ways not always
easy to follow. and now he merely re-
marked. with apparent sullenness:
'Tm certainly a hot favorite with
you" He clsmbered stifly back into
bed and turned his defiant face TO the
wall. nor would he meet his accuser's
eyes or open his lipe, even when Boyd
