FOURTEENTH EPISODE

When the news of the Behrens at
tempt to force Helen Dawson into n
marriage with him became public in
Dawson, there was such a turmoil
among the independent lumber work
ers as promised short shrift for the
hireling of Holmes In case his inju-
ries received at the hands of Tom
Dawson did not prove fatal.
A meeting called at the townhall
was devoted to planning for the pun
ishment of Holmes and his band of
ruflians, including the dispersal of
Spike" behring's gang-long a ter
ror to the district.
These rumblings of a coming retri-
button reached the acute ears of IDOL
lar" Holmes In his retreat at Capitol
City. The lumber baron was torn be-
tween his desire to beat the independ-
ent crowd and prevent their getting
lumber out of the Upper Valley, and
his fear that Stephen, headstrong and
determined like himself, would try to
carry out his idea Of marrying Helen
Dawson.
1t was desperate dilemma, for
Holmes was aware that IL he told
Stephen that Helen was his half sis
ter, this confession would involve rev.
elation OF the whole miserable story
how Helen's mother had been driven
from home by brutality, how the child
had been reared by the Dawsons in
ignorance of her parentage, and how
Stephens mother had married his IA
Their on the assumption that he was
free to marry, whereas actually his
first wife was still living.
Now that Behrens' effort to re-
move Helen Holmes from the prob
lem had failed, the old millionaire
was confronted with far more serious
complications than had ever beset him
In the past. Stephen was now man.
He had been demanding explanations
Of many things with which he had not
previously concerned himself.
But even more serious than these
considerations was the sudden appear
ance In the community of Jake Dill,
one of Holmes former hirelings, who
had been released after serving over
twenty years in the wyoming penl-
Tertiary for murder.
Dill was the most dangerous man In
the world from "Dollar" Holmes point
of view. 1t was he who had witnessed
the brutal Staying by Holmes in n
quarrel, of old Sleepy Dog, the Klam-
nth Indian chief, head of the tribe
which had owned all the lands now
claimed by Holmes as his own.
Dill knew the whole story from be-
ginning 10 end, and If any of the oppo-
sition crowd happened to get DIN I'M
der control he might easily be made
the instrument of court procedure,
which would not only dispossess
Holmes of his millions but arra!gn
him as a murderer into the bargain.
What Holmes knew was that Dill
had already been in conference with
little Bear college-bred son of Sleepy
I,og, and that events were brewing
which BODIED i'll for his future peace
Yet, so convinced was the hard-ilght'
ing old man of his ultimate ability to
outvit his opponents, that he gave
only passing thought to the danger
threatening him personally, devotine
his fpeptal energies to the formation
OF new Schemes. If the worst came to
the worsN he would tell Stephen the
facts rega fding his birth. Until this

the war resolution and adopted 1t by
vote of 50 to 6. The six senator's who
voted against the resolution for war
were:

appeared in this discussion and Repub-
licans joined with Democrats I'm sound
ing the call to the nation to support
the president unitedly.
The little group opposed to the reso-
luton drew fire from every side. Sen
ator La Toilette, defending Germany
and heapng blame upon England, was
informed by Senator Williams that Dr.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
chancellor would have made the same
speech In the reichstag had he been
imbued with sufficient effrontery.
Senator Norris, charging that the
United States is going to war at the
behest of the munition barons of Wall
street, drew from Senator Reed the re-
tort that such an accusation is "al-
most treason"
The assertion that the nation was go
ing to war on the demand of gold he
said, was ian indictment of the presi-
dent of the United States, an indict-
ment of congress, of the American peo-
pie, and of the truth"
"The president Is not calling Amer.

paltry dollars" Senator Reed contin-
ued, but for the life, honor, and in
tegrity of this country"

In introducing the resolution into
| the senate, Senator Hitchcock made a
brief statement I'm which he said that
the present time was one "for action,
not discussion"
1.-THE time for discussion has
passed" he said. 1.-THE president has
stated clearly, effectively, more con
cluslvely the reasons which make this
grave step necessary. The resolution
provides for war against the imperial
German government. II places re-
