SEVENTH EPISODE

Little Bears first impulse upon
learning from the lips Of Virginia
Holmes the identity of his fathers
murderer, was to kill Rupert Holmes.
But his savage Indian nature had been
nodded by education and his hot blood
had been cooled by his lifelong associa-
ton with white men, SO, instead Of
driving a knife into his enemys back
according to the custom of his people,
he decided to bide his time.
On the morning after the tree fell
upon the Dawson cottage the kindly
old practitioner who attended to the
physical ailments Of the Jacksonville
folk was returning to his office after
a visit to his patient when he was
stopped by Holmes.
"What's this I hear, doctor, about
there having been an accident last
night at Dave Dawson's?" he asked.
"I'm sorry to say that Dawes sister,
Mrs. Holmes, has been very badly
hurt" was the grave answer. "She
sustained spinal injury which has
partially paralyzed her."
"what happened, doctor?" inquired
Holmes. "All l know is what have
heard from the porters of my car.
They told some wild story about tree
having fallen on the house."
"That's just what happened, Mr..
Holiness" the doctor answered. "There
was a big fir tree standing close to
the house. 1t was half dead, so Dave
started to cut 1t down yesterday after
noon, but darkness came before he
could finish the job and he had to stop.
The tree was partly cut through and
the big storm last night did the rest.
1t went through the roof of the house
as knife goes through an eggshell."
Holmes heaved an inward sigh of
relief. 1t was evident, from the doc
tors words, that no one suspected that
the fnlling of the tree was due to other
than natural causes.
II trust that Mrs. Holmes is doing
MS well as can be expected"
"She is in no pain" said the doc
tor, "but her death is only a question
of weeks. There is no chance of her
recovery"
rs she conscious?" Holmes inquired.
"No," was the reply. "She lapsed
into unconsciousness just as reached
the house and has not uttered word
since. l doubt If she ever speaks
again."
"Sad very sad indeed" re-
marked Holmes feelingly as he turned
away, but he was very far from feel
ing the sadness which he so unctu-
ously expressed, for. with the lips of
Virginia Holmes sealed forever, his

She ran to the door and stared up
the track. Standing on the main track
where Dawson had left them, almost
opposite the station, and squarely in
the path of the runaway, was the
trainload of lumber for the independ.
ent camp. And there was no means
of sidetracking the runaway, for the
siding was below the lumber train.
There was no way to avert its de-
struction unless yes, 1t might
be done. She started running up the
tracks as she had never run before,
for, in order to execute the plan which
had suddenly come into her head. It
was imperative that she should rencb
n point some distance above the lum-
ber train, where telegraph pole
leaned at such an angle that Il
partly overhung the track. And the
runaway car, with its load of ex-
plosive, would pass beneath that snv-
ging pole. Already 1t was in sight,
booming downward with ever-increas-
ing momentum. Tearing Off her skirt.

Helen leaped and caught the lowest
iron footholds, and, drawing herself
up, climbed up the pole. Gauging to q
nicely the speed Of the approaching
car, she timed her leap and landed
atop Of 1t. 1t is no easy feat, even for
railroad man, to stop n car in mid
career, but Helen, exerting every ounce
of her young strength, pinned down
the brakes, and stopped the car within
a dozen feet of the lumber train.
