photographer contrived to be the last
to leave the mapping room. When he
found himself alone he returned has
tily to the desk and pulled out the
drawer of portents, rummaglng In it
until he was fully convinced that the
little buckskin bag Of nuggets was
gone. Then, instead of following the
others, he took a tieldglass from its
case on the wall and went to the south
window to focus it upon the Massin-
gale cabin, standing out clear,cut and
distinct in the afternoon sunlight on
its high, shelflike bench.
The powerful glass brought out two
figures on the cabin porch, a woman
and a man. The woman was standing
and the man was sitting on the step.
Grislow lowered the glass and slid the
telescoping sun tubes home with a
snap.
Good God!" he mused, ''it's unbe-
lievable! He deliberately turns his
thing loose on US down here and then
takes an afternoon off to go and make

seven-year devil he talks about. And
nobody can help him; nobody-unless
Amy can. Lord, Lord"
