ment the Panama canal. His talk
was we'll delivered and to the point.
Echoes" was the subject chosen
by Mr.. Ivan Jackson, and he showed
how many people are Just echoes OF

was was the most mysterious indi-
vidual in the world.
Mildred began to go over the entire
situation i'm her mind She hadn't gone
far when She suddenly came to the
realization that she hardly knew any
thing at all about Gordon Kelly. She
knew nothing about his family. his
life nor his habits. He had been in
troduced into her family as Gordon
Kelly, yet here. up in his mountain
home, no one knew Of a Gordon Kelly
They called him Mr. Bud Who was
Mr.. Bud? Her father certainly didn't
know him by that name He had told
her that he had met Gordon Kelly
through Judge Barbee. Certainly the
Judge wouldn't be a party to any de-
ception Was Gordon Kelly an as
sumed nance Was it an alias? Her
father had told her nothing about Cor
don Kelly's family-because he didn't
know anything about 1t himself, prob
ably.
Was his family respectable Did
he really own the property, or was he
an employee or representative of the
people that did own it? He might be
a foreman or a superintendent No
harm in that, thought Mildred, but she
would like to know about it,
Then she reviewed her brief ac-
quaintance with Gordon Kelly. She
recalled the conversations she had had
with him in the few times they had
met The talk, she remembered, was
mostly about books and music and
kindred topics and the small talk that
two young people would indulge in. II
came back to her that he talked with
great intelligence on music and art
and literature. Surely he %as refined
and cultured. His family must be

and commanded him to pack up. His
campaign had utterly failed He
would go back to Atlanta to nurse his
injury, nurse his lacerated feelings
and plan some revenge that would set
tie scores with Gordon Kelly once and
for all. While his man was busy
packing he bathed his hand in cold
water and, after pouring whisky on
the wound as an antiseptic (and
pouring a considerable quantity OF it
down his throat as an antisplenetic)
he bandsged the injured member,
swore at George on general princi-
pies and went outside to smoke and
think some more.
In his three personal encounters
with Gordon Kelly Cain had been
badly worsted, verbally or physically,
every time. Yet Gordon Kelly was in
no way to blame in any case. He
was attending strictly to his own bust
ness and had sought no quarrel with
the man who declared himself his foe.
This phase Of the matter never once
entered the mind of Cain. He only
knew that it was through Gordon
Kelly that all his troubles came.

his automobile, regained his
senses he saw Gordon Kelly standing
over him. His mind was befuddled
and he did not recall what had hap

fight was all out of him.

Without even another glance at
Cain, the three entered Kelly's auto
mobile and a minute later they were
whirling down the road, leaving Cain,
with singular indifference, to his own
meditatioHs.
Cain was sober by this time-sober,
sullen and resentful. His right hand

had struck him. 1t was crushed and
