called the tragic death of old Sleepy
Dog, the klamath Indian chief, slain
by Holmes in a fit of rage, and he
knew that every acre of Holmes lum-
ber holdings really belonged to the
heirs of Sleepy Dog.
Now he realized that Helen Dawson,
the fighting Lass of the Lumber
lands" was not only Holmes legitimate
daughter, but real heir to property
held in his name, which property, If
the truth ever came out, would revert
to Little Bear, the son of old Sleepy
Dog.
A broad grin broke out on the wind
tanned visage of Bill Behrens. For
once in his life, at least, he had an
idea. He would marry Helen himself
There would be nice little abduc-
ton, a day or two of confinement in
the Deering cabin out on China Flats
perhaps little threatening might be
necessary. That drunken old ex-preach-
er on the edge of the clearing would
tie the knot.
AS the idea took form Behrens broke
his long sought chance to even mat
ters with 'Dollar" Holmes-the hard
est taskmaster in the world. Behrens
would marry his daughter, claim her
rights under the law, compel Holmes
to recognize him as q social and finan-
cial equal. 1t was fascinating idea.
When Holmes started for Capitol
City with Stephen in the big automo-
bile that had just been purchased for
Florence Holmes, the lumberman's
fashionable wife, Behrens already had
his plans fairly well in hand. An hour
later he was in conference with
Spike" Deering, head of the most
disgraced countryside.
Late that afternoon, when the work
train started for the now nearly COM
pleted grade on Shady Creek, carrying
fifty or more new hands from Capitol
City, Helen insisted on going along.
The young woman's foster father, Joe
Dawson, young Tom Dawson, her de-
voted admirer, "Tim" Morrisey, boss
of the works, and half dozen gang
foremen who had just been paid off out
of young Stephens $37, 600 check, con-
stituted Jolly party. Every man
in the crowd had his pay in his pocket.
So engrossed We're the railroaders in
their own affairs that they did not no
tice the presence on rear car of
"Bill" Behrens, "Spike" Deering and
several men of his notorious gang.

TWENTY THOUSAND MARcHERs
TO BE IN LINE.
Pay Tribute to Sons of State Who Are
Soon to Unfurl Old Glory Some
where in France.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
| Denver.-Twenty thousand march
ers in line; eighteen bands of music;
innumerable automobiles and floats.
These will combine to make Den
ver's Colorado Day parade, Wednes'
day, Aug. LIST, the biggest and most
spectacular affair of its kind that the
| Centennial State has known in all Its
years of existence.
| 1t will be a demonstration of the
| pride, love and esteem in which Colo
rado holds those many sons who are
soon to answer the call of their coun
try, somewhere in France" 1t will
be the last occasion probably that an
opportunity will be given to pay trib
ute to the home boys and every effort
is being made to make 1t a tribute
that they will never forget.
Five thousand men in khaki will
have the place of honor at the head OF
the procession, where they will be ac'
claimed by the throngs which will
crowd into Denver for Colorado's
birthday anniversary.
Behind them will march 5000 other
soldiers. They will not be in uni
form, but they will be none the less
heartily received. They will be Colo.
radios quota of the new army of selec-
tive conscription.
Civic, fraternal, semi-military, vete-
ran and other organizations will COM
plete the other six divisions. They
will act as an honorary escort for
Colorado's fighting men to whom this
year Colorado Day is dedicated.
Arrangements to feed the 5000 fed
eral and state troops to be gathered
in City Park Colorado Day were COM
pleted at a meeting of the military and
women's committees in charge of the
affair at the court house. Through
arrangements with the state and ma
tional military officials, 1t is expected
to have every branch Of the army
service represented, together with
every regiment Of the state forces, in
both the parade and patriotic services
at the park. The soldiers will be the
guests of the Sons Of Colorado at the
luncheon Immediately following the
morning procession.

When the long work train again pulled

she was in the caboose where the rid

1t was Joe Dawson who discovered
that Helen was not on the train, and
the discovery was not made until near

Then one of the men on the rear fiat

Thirteenth EPISODE

Rupert Holmes, millionaire lumber
man, was startled out of his usual
imperturbability His face evidenced
the emotions that stirred him. Here,
indeed was crisis. For years and
years he had planned and plotted to
defeat the aims of the independent
lumbermen, which if realized would
ruin him, and in every instance he had
been fhwarted by the quick wit of
mere slip of a girl--Helen Dawson.
Half an hour earlier, Holmes had
bitterly reproached Helen's half broth
er, Stephen, with having paid 1000
to Dawson, the Valley Railway exten-
sion contractor. in defiance of orders to
the contrary. The young fellow had
replied In bitter anger that the debt
was a Just one and that he had paid
it for that reason.
Another thing" announced Stephen,
defiantly, "some day am going to ask
Helen Dawson to marry me-"
1t was this announcement that had
caused dollar" Holmes to turn white
to the lips.
The thing most to be dreaded by him
had come to pass. Stephen, the apple
of his eye, in love with the one girl
in all the world with whom marriage
was impossible. There was only one
thing to do. Stephen must be got out
of the country on one plea or another
and during his absence the girl must
be disposed of. 1t was time for ac-
tion-immediate action ut that.
With n determined gesture. Holmes
pressed the electric button at his side.
The pale-faced secretary, whose weight
OF criminal knowledge seemed to have
sagged his thin shoulders into mel
ancholy curve, merely nodded when
Holmes demanded the immediate pres
ence of Behrens.
"Behrens," snapped the lumber ba.
ron, as Behrens entered, hat In hand
"That Dawson girls got to be put out
Of the way"
"Now you're talking some sense,
grinned Behrens. ~ told you she was
and IA the independent powwows
Why, say She's the one that got
young Steve to double-cross you In
that payment to Dawson"
~ know all about that" interposet
Holmes with wave of his hand
"What we've got to do now Is tt
get her out of this. 1t. isn't what
she has done in business way, yo,
understand. The reason is that Steph
en- wants to marry her"
Behrens' little, sharp eyes mar
rowed to pinpojnts. He emitted I
long-drawn whistle, as indicative o
his understanding that here, indee'
was dilemma that would require al
Holmes ingenuity and determination
for Its solution.
"Why, Helen's his half sister. She
the legitimate heir to all your none
and he's-Say! Steve amt nobody,
he?" commented Behrens.
"Stephen is my son, d-n you,

cloud in which he had journeyed from
Blawerburg, \. j., to the second meet

Percy wore something else under his
natty hat besides the yellow hair which

toward the spot where re used to have
a cowlick, that something being a six
oylinder secret.
Following in Percy's wake, far
enovSh away 80 as to appear 70 the

air of one who apologies for some
thing he can't help.
