A rush of wind from an opening door
was the only answer from the dark
dining room. The two Morgans started
forward together. The sudden gust
sucked the flame of the living-room
lamp up into the chimney and after a
brief, sharp struggle extinguished it.
In the confusion it was moment be.

the lamp was relighted, the Morgans
ran into the dining room. The wind
and rain poured in through the open
north door. But the room was empty.
Duke turned on his nephew with a
choking curse. "This," he cried, beside
himself with fury, "is your work."

door and stalked boldly in from the

If the situation in the room surprised
him, he gave no evidence of it. And
as he walked in Nan disappeared. Par

ing off his hat as he crossed the room
to the fire, he shook it hard into the
blazing wood.

snapped Duke.
Pardaloe shook his hat once more
and turned few steps so that he stood
between the uncurtained window and
the light. "The creeks up" he said;
to Duke in his peculiarly slow, steady;
tone. "Some of Salts boys are trying
to get the cattle out Of the lower corr

at Duke, then at Gale, then at De
Spain. "Guess they'll need a little
help, so I asked Sassoon to come
over" Pardaloe jerked his head in

De Spain's left arm shot out. "Hold

"Don't touch that crutain, Parda-

"Pardaloe," said De Spain, his left
arm pointing menacingly and walking
instantly toward him, 'pull that cur

Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big
and aggressive, was doing most of the
talking, and energetically, as was his
habit. Duke listened thoughtfully,
but seemingly with GOODNESS. Druel
looked from Gale to Duke, and ap-
peared occasionally to put in a word
to carry the argument along.

they were talking about, but he was
uneasy concerning Nan, and was not

directly behind the front door-which

close the front door.

back into the living room, partly clos
