THE BLOWING OF THE COYOTE.

30dTSny his being Rowland forgot his
EzS9 own danger. forgot his old
caution and the fears that gave
birth to 1t. forgot everything in
these moments but Meleese and his
own great happiness. for he was
happy. happier than he had ever
been in his life. happier than he had
ever expected to be. He was con-
scious Of no madness in this strange,
new JOY that swept through his being
like fire. He did not stop to weigh
with himself the unreasoning i'm
pulses that filled him. He had held
Meleese in his arms. he had told her
Of his love. and. though she had ac-
cepted 1t with gentle unresponsive-
ness, he was thrilled by the memory
Of that last look In her eyes. which
had spoken faith. confidence and per-
haps even more. And his faith In her
had become as limitless as the blue
space above him. He had known, her
for but few hours. and yet In that
time 1t seemed to him that he had
lived longer than in all Of the years
that had gone before. She had lied
to him. had divulged only part Of
her identity. and yet he knew that
there were reasons for these things.
Tomorrow night he would see her
again. and then
What would she tell him? What
ever 1t was. 1t was to be reward for
his own love. He knew that by the
half fearing tremble Of her voice. the
sobbing catch Of her breath. the soft
glow in her eyes. Impelled by that
love. would she confide in him? And
then-would he 60 back into the
south?
He laughed softly. joyfully.
Yes. he would go back into the
south. He would 20 to the other end
Of the earth If she would go with
him. What was the building Of this
railroad now to that other great thing
that had come into his life? For the
first time he saw duty in another
light There were others who could
build the road Success. fortune. am
bition-in the old way he had seen
them-were overshadowed now by this
love Of girl.
He stopped and lighted his pipe. The
fragrant odor of the tobacco. the ia
yor Of the warm smoke in his mouth.

thrill Of horror. was HOwland's first
vision Of returning consciousness. 1t
was dead in front Of him. on a level
with his face-a ball Of yellow fire
that seemed to burn into bis very
soul. He tried to cry out, but no
sound fell from his lips. He strove
to move. to fight himself away. but
there was no power of movement In
his limbs. The eye grew larger. he
saw that 1t was so bright 1t cast a
halo, and the halo widened before
his own staring eyes until the dense
gloom about 1t seemed to be melting
away. Then he knew. 1t was Ian
tern In front Of him. not more than
ten feet away. Consciousness flooded
him, and he made another effort to cry
out, to free his arms from an invisi.
BILE clutch that held him powerless.
At first he thought this was the clutch
Of human hands. Then as the lantern
light revealed more clearly the things
about him and the outlines Of his own
figure he saw that It was a rope. and
he knew that he was unable to cry
out because Of something tight and
suffocating about his mouth.
The truth came to him swiftly. he
had come up to the coyote on . l)edge

helped to readjust him, to cool his
heated brain. The old fighting in
stincts leaped into life again. Go into
the south? He asked himself the ques-
ton once more, and in the gloomy 81
lence of the forest his low laugh fell
again as he clenched his hands In an
ticipation Of what was ahead OF him.
No, he would build the road! And In
building 1t he would win this girl. II 1t
was given for him to possess her.
His saner thoughts brought back his
caution. He went more slowly toward
the cabin, keeping in the deep shadows
and stopping now and then to listen.
at the edge of the clearing he paused
for long time. There was no sign
Of life about the cabin abandoned by
Gregson and Thorne. It was probable
rnar the two men who had passed
along the path had returned to the
camp by another trail, and still keep.
ing as much within the shadows as
possible he went to the door and en-
tered.
With his feet propped In front Of the
big box stove sat JAckpine.
"Any one been here, Jackpine"
"Thorne," he grunted. pointing to a
paper on the table. Rowland spread
out the paper In the light Of the lamp
and read:
My Dear Howland-I forgot to teh you
that our mail sledge starts for Le Pas to-
morrow at noon, and as I'm planning on
going down with It want you to get over
as early as you can in the morning. Can
put you on to everything In the camp be-
tween and-12. THoRNE
A whistle of astonishment escaped
Howland's lips.
Jackpine had half opened the door,
and for moment the engineer caught
a glimpse of his dark. grinning face
looking back over his shoulder. He
hesitated. US If about to speak. and
sthen with a mouthful Of his inimitable
chuckles. he went out.
After boiling the door Rowland
lighted a small table lamp. entered the
sleeping room and prepared for bed.
"Got to have little sleep no matter
If things are going Off like Fourth OF
July celebration" he grumbled and
rolled between the sheets.
In spite Of his old habit Of rising
with the breaking of dawn 1t was jack
pine who awakened him few hours
later. The camp was hardly astir
when he followed the Indian down
among the log cabins to Thorne's quar-
tiers. The senior engineer was already
| dressed.
"sorry to hustle you 30. Rowland"
he greeted, "but I've got to 60 down
with the mail. Just between you and
me don't believe the camp doctor is
much on his Job. I've got deuced
bad shoulder and worse arm. and
I'm going down to good surgeon as
fast as can"
For an hour after breakfast the two
men were busy with papers. maps and
drawings relative to the camp work.
Before that hour had passed he was
certain of at least one other thing
that 1t was not incompetency that was
taking the two senior engineers back
to the home Office. He had half ex-
pected to find the working end In the
same disorganized condition as Its
chiefs. But II Gregson and Thorne had
been laboring under a tremendous
strain Of some kind It was not reflected
