''Yep.~

yep" - ~
Must be Missus Burrows. S'pose
we call it quits, tin we talk to her.
Sandy's gun went back into his hol-
ster with a muff1ed snip. So this
voice was Mrs. Burrows, the wife Of
A. Burrows, the man who was trying
to rob Sandy of all he had in the
world! It made no difference. she
was woman and in distress. The
fight could wait. He would accept the
truce; but it should be merely a
truce, and no more. They couldn't
have his claim
Its a co." he called to the enemy,
and then, trusting to the chivalry Of
the frontier, paid no more attention
to them and devoted himself to the
rescue of the feminine voice.
Down in cleft. between two great
trees that had given up their lives
and had sought rest on the ground,
enmeshed in blackberry bushes, with
torn garments and disheveled hair,
he found her. She was sobbing as he
came. He treasured her, and had
open, before his late adversaries came
upon them.
They grouped themselves silently
around Sandy glared at them un-
compromisingly Two Of them had
rudely bandaged arms, and one had
the haggard look of man who has
lost much blood. Dimly the woman
realized that she had interrupted a
tragedy.
"Oh, you are hurt!" she said, as
she looked at the men. Then, turn
ing to Sandy, she continued you
see, these men work for me- I bought
a claim from a locator down in Seat
tie, and hired these men to come and
build my cabin-and now-and now
two Of them are hurt"

air, seeking the blossoms Of the wood
land for the gathering Of their spoil.
The birds returned and began their
twittering. and from, off in the forest
a woodpecker's hammer recommended
a tapping into the bark. In the dis
tane0 the .,ooing of wild pigeon lent
a Melancholy note. The time crept
forward, and, on each side, the COM
batants waited for the next move
Sandy was getting restless. and had
almost resolved to take a chance on
creeping in a wide detour around his
men, and by this flanking movement
to gain shot or two.
From back of him came a sound Of
footsteps, padding across the needles
He threw himself at length upon the
ground and wriggled his way to a
place where no shot might reach. So
his enemies had beat him to it, and
were rounding him up? Woe be to
the first one who came in sight!
What was the fool doing, anyway?
"Whoof," same snort from the
rear. Sandy recognized the sound as
being the satisfied grunt of brown
bear, who, in fancied security, had
made his way to a thicket of black
berries. But what was that other
sound? More footsteps, and then a
louder snort from the bear, a wonan's
scream. and the noise of tearing
thickets as the animal plunged
through the underbrush in flight
The red-headed one, forgetful of
danger, with curiosity at highest
pitch, his composure startled by this
wonderful occurrence startled by this
sound-a woman's voice-stretched
his head over his rear breastwork
and yelled "Hello!"
In his excitement, he raised his
head too high, and a rifle ball went
whizzing through the top Of his hat.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-05-19

Sandy ducked down, while from out
in front a mans voice broke into
curses directed at the one who had
fired the shot.
Cant you see," the voice expostu-
lated, "that maybe she's in range over
there-you damn fool"
Sandy paid no heed to this remark,
and it is doubtful if he even heard it,
because all his attention was at
tracted toward the great unusual, the
feminine side.
Help! Help!" the woman's voice
called. ugh! There was great big
bear here a minute ago, and have
fallen off log into the bushes, and
can't get up, and there may be whole
herds of bears down here in the dark,
for all can see. Why don't you help
me?"
"Jest keep yer shirt on minute.
Sandy called reassuringly, "and I'll
get around and help you. I'm trife
busy out In front just now" Then
ha tried to make the wait easier by
assuring her that the "b'ar had liked,
and there want nothin' down there
to hurt her"
"But why don't you come at once?'
the voice insisted.
Got to kill few fellers out here
in front first" Sandy apolog1zed. Ell
it want for that, I'd come now"
The voice was silent for a moment.
as the woman evidently tried to think
over situation that made 1t neces-
sary for man to "kill few fellers
before coming to her aid.
"Hey, you!" came a masculine
voice from out in front.
"Yep," responded Saul

loved with q tenderness that came OF
years of longing for 1t. Anyway,
thinking took time, and he must ind
the right way out
| So Sandy told Mrs. Burrows that
he had a good cabin below here, and
that she must be his guest that night
at least. and until her men got a
camp established. He urged his hos
pitality, and the foreman added his
insistence.
AS they walked down the trail and
came in sight of its homely comfort,
she went into ecstacies over its trim
ness and picturesqueness, and over
the great, majestic view Of peaks and
valleys that stretched away in the dis
lance from the brow Of the hill. But
every word of praise, that but few
days ago would have gladdened the
big mans heart, was as kn1fe-thrust,
searching out and opening up to him
those things which he had always
seen and felt, but could not have put
into words.
For once Dick got no word Of greet
ing Two big, rough hands held the
head I'D where the eyes could be
looked into, but his master was be-
yond words. Could he have spoken
he would have said: ''Dick, Dick. they
want our home"
It wasn't very reassuring tale that
Sandy listened to that night, and when
he went out to roll himself into his
blankets beneath the stars, having
surrendered his rooftree to his guest
sleep failed to close his eyelids. He
was fighting battle which must be
his alone.

CHAPTER II.
Post-Prandial.

Bannerman pushed back his chair
few inches, shifting position the better
TO benefit of faint air that famed
land, twisting the sticky stem Of a
nqueur glass between thumb and fore
finger, sat in patient waiting for the
lawyer to speak.
But Bannerman was In no hurry;
his mood was rather one contempla-
tive and genial. He was a round and
cherubic little man, with the face Of
a guileless child, the acumen of sue
cessful counsel for soulless corpora
items (that is to say, Of high order),
no particular sense of humor, and a
great appreciation of good eating
And Maitland was famous in his day
as one thoroughly conversant with the
art of ordering a dinner.
That which they had just discussed
had been uncommon in all respects;
Maitland's scheme Of courses and his
specification as to details had reused
the admiration Of the Primordial's chef
and put him on his mettle. He had
outdone himself in his efforts to do
Justice to Mr.. Maitland's genius; and
the Primordial in it's deadly conserva-
tism remains to this day one of the
very few places in New York where
good, sound cooking is to be had by
the initiate.
Therefore Bannerman thoughtfully
sucked at his cigar and thought
f0ndly of a salad that had been to
ordinary salads as his S0-horse-pOwer
car was to an electric blackboard.
While Maitland, with all time at his
purchase. idly ficked the ash from his
cigarette and followed his attorneys
meditative gaze out through the win
dow.
Because of the heat the curtains
were looped back, and there was moth
ing to Obstruct the view. Madison
square lay just over the sill. a dark
wilderness of foliage here and there
made livid green by arc lights. Its
walks teemed with humanity, its
benches were crowded. Dimly from
its heart came the cool FLASHING Of the
fountain, IN lulls that fell unaccount
ably in the roaring rustic OF restless
feet. Over across. Broadway raised
glittering walls OF glass and stone;
and thence came the poignant groan
and rumble Of surface cars crawling
upon their weary and unvarying
rounds.
And again Maitland thought OF the
City. and OF Destiny. and of the gray
giri the siihouaft~ of whose hand was

Maitland, sententiously. when the
time comes I'll produce them"
And they incriminate Graeme?"
"They make 1t look as black for him
as for the others. Do you honestly be-
lieve him innocent, Bannerman?"
Il do, implicitly. The dread of ex-
posture, the fear of notoriety when the
case comes up in court, has aged the
man ten years. He begged me with
tears in his eyes to induce you to drop
it and accept his offer of restitution.
Don't you think you could do it, DAM"
mo, don't" Maitland shook his
head with decision. IF | let up, the
scoundrels get off scot free. I have
nothing against Graeme; l am willing
to make it as light as l can for him I;
but this business has got to be aired
in the courts; the guilty will have to
suffer. 1t will be a lesson to the pub
lie. a lesson to the scamps, and a les
son to Graeme-not to lend his name
too freely to questionable enterprises. %
and that's your final word, is it?"
Final, Zimmerman. You GO

to court. When the time comes, as
say, I'll produce these papers. l can't
so on this way letting people that I'm
an easy mark just because l was un.
fortunate enough to inherit more
money than is good for my whole
some"
Maitland twisted his eyebrows in dep
recation OF BaRnerman's attitude;
signifed the irrevocability of his de
cision by bringing his fist down upon
the table-but not heavily enough tc
disturb the other diners; and, laugh
ing, changed the subject.
For some moments he gossiped
cheerfully Of his new power boat
Bannerman attending to the incense
quent details with an air Of abstrac
! ton. Once or twice he appeared
about to interrupt, but changed his
mind; but because his features were
so wholly infantile and open and can
did, the time came when Maitland
could no longer ignore his evident
perturbation.
Now what's the trouble?" he de
manded with a trace of asperity
Cant you forget that Graeme bust

"Oh. it's not that" Bannerman dis

CHAPTER I.-contlnued.

Further and closer inspection de-
veloped the fact that the imprint had
been only recently made Within the
hour-unless Maitland were indeed
mad or dreaming-a woman had stood
by that desk and rested hand, palm
down, upon it; not yet had the dust
had time to settle and blur the sharp
outlines.
Maitland shook his head with be-
wilderment, thinking Of the gray girl.
But no. He rejected his half-formed
explanatlon-the obvious one. Besides,
what had he there worth thief's
while? Beyond a few articles of
"virtue and bigotry" and his pictures,
there was nothing valuable in the en-
tire fiat. His papers? But he had
nothing; a handful Of letters, cheque
book, a pass book, japanned tin dis
patch box containing some business
memoranda and papers destined event
ually for Bannerman's hands; but
nothing negotiable, nothing worth a
burglars while.
1t was a flat-topped desk, of mahog-
any, with two pedestals of drawers, all
locked. Maitland determined this lat
ter fact by trying to open them with
out a key; failing, his key-ring solved
the difficulty in jiffy. But the draw
ers seemed undisturbed; nothing had
been either handled, or removed, or
displaced, so far as he could deter
mine. And again he wagged his head
frem side to side In solemn stupefac-
ton.
"This is beyond you, Dan, my boy"
And: But I've got to know what it
means"
In the hall O'Hagan was shutting
impatience. Pondering deeply, Matt
land relocked the desk and got upon
his feet. A small bowl of beaten brass
which he used as an ash receiver
stood ready to his hand; he took 1t up
carefully blew 1t clean Of dust, and
inverted it over the print Of the hand
On top of the bowl he placed 9
weighty afterthought in the shape q
@ book.
"O'Hagani"
'@Waitin' sor."
"Come hither, O'Hagan. You SEE
that desk?"
''Yissor."
'Are you sure?"
"Ah, faith"
81 want you not to touch It, OKLA
gan. Under penalty of my extreme dis
pleasure, don't lay a finger on it till
give you permission. Don't dare Il
dust it. De you understand"
''Yissor. Very good, Mr.. Maitland.

imprisoned beneath the brass bowl on
his study desk. For by now he was
quite satisfied that she and none other
had trespassed upon the privacy of his
rooms, obtaining access to them in his
absence by means as unguessable as
her motive. Momentarily he consid-
cred taking Bannerman into his con-
fidence; but he questioned the ad-
visibility of this. Bannerman was so
severely practical in his outlook upon
life, while this adventure had been
so madly whimsical, so engagingly
impossible. Bannerman would be sure
to suggest a call at the precinct police
station. If she had made way
with anything, it would be different;
but so far as Maitland had been able
to determine, she had distracted moth
ing, disturbed nothing beyond a few
square inches of dust.
Unwillingly Bannerman put the
salad out of mind and turned to the
business whose immediate moment
had brought them together. He
hummed softly, calling his client to at
tention. Maitland came out Of his
reverie. vaguely smiling.
'T'm waiting, old man. What's up"
"The Graeme business. His lawyers
have been after me again. even had
a call from the old man himself"
Eyes? The Graeme business?"
Maitland's expression was blank for a

his eyes. ooh, yes; in connection with
the Dougherty investment swindle."
That's it. Graeme's pleading for
mercy"
Maitland lifted his shoulders sig
nifcantly. THAT was to be expected,
wasn't it? What did you tell him?"
THAT I'd see you"
did you hold out to him any hopes
that I'd be easy on the gang?"
Il told him that l doubted II you
could be induced to let up"
"Then why"
"Why, because Graeme himself is as
innocent Of wrong doing and wrong in
tent rs you are"
you believe that?"
Il do" affirmed Bannerman. His
fat pink fingers drummed uneasily on
the cloth for a few moments. There
isn't any question that the Dougherty
people induced you to sink your money
in their enterprise with intent to de-
fraud you"
81 should think not" Maitland inter
jected, amused
But old man Graeme was honest
in intention at least. He meant no
harm; and in proof of that he offers
to shoulder your loss himself, If by so
doing he can induce you to drop furth-
er proceedings. That proves he's in
earnest Dan, for although Greame is
comfortably we'll to do, it's a known
fact that the loss Of a cool half million
while it's a drop iR the bucket 70 you,
would cripple him"
Then why doesn't he stand to his
associates, and make them each pay
back their fair share OF the loot
That'd bring his liability down tc

Because they won't give up without
a contest in the courts. They deny
