Located On A Battlefield in

kittridge Hudson received the
following from his son in France:
September 20, 1917.
Dear folks all:
Received your letter the Goth and
was glad to hear a word from you.
] am real we'll and working nights at
present. Am running an engine and
am quite safely located on one of
the biggest battle fields of France.
The houses are all gone and the trees
are badly shot to pieces and there is
not many to be seen. We live in
huts and tents, they are real COM
Portable so far. The weather here
has been very good for nearly a
month, but the nights are getting
cold and damp. 1t rained most of
the time when we first came here.
Foss from Island Pond is in my
Company. Jim Campbell and the
other boys from there are in the
same camp with US at present. They
are all well. 1t takes quite while
to get letter across. 1t is quite a
step from here over there but there
is lot of pretty country in England
and France. The country here is
rolling and not very billy like our
country, but it is not very smooth
where the Germans have been. |
suppose the drafted boys are train
ing by this time. They all hated to
go, suppose, but it will be a good
thing for them if they come back all
right. There is a lot Of talk of
peace here but Of course we do not
know how much it will amount to.
We see many aeroplanes here, some
Americans but not many. You asked
about sending me some things. Am
pretty well supplied with clothing as
yet, but cannot get any good to-
bacco. We don't have any sweets
here but the folks have all written
that they wanted to send me some
thing. | would be glad Of any little
thing in that line you cared to send.
Would like taste of maple sugar
pretty we'll. They don't live here as
they do at home, but the men have
been very well since they left home,

CHAPTER XVI.
At ANY Cost,

With all things moving favorably for
Timanyoni High Line up to the night
of fiascos, the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two of his subordi-
mates. Early the next day there were
panicky rumors In the air. none Of them
traceable to any definite starting point.
One Of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste In
building had added to its insecurity.
On the heels Of this came clamorous
court petitions from ranch owners be-
low the dam site, setting forth the
flood dangers to which they were ex-
posed and praying for an injunction to
stop the work.
That this was new move on STAN
toms part, neither Smith nor Stillings
questioned for a moment; but they no
sooner got the nervous ranchmen paci-
fed by giving an indemnity bond for
any damage that might be done, than
other rumors sprang up. For one day
and yet another Smith fought mechan-
ically, developing the machinelike dog
gedness of the soldier who sees the
battle going irresistibly against him
and still smites on in sheer despera-
ton. He saw the carefully built or
ganlzation structure, reared by his own
efforts upon the foundation laid by
Colonel Baldwin and his ranchman as
sociates, falling to pieces. In spite Of
all he could do, there was n panic of
stock-selling; the city council, alarmed
by the persistent story of the unsafety
Of the dam, was threatening to cancel
the lighting contract with Timanyoni
High Line; and Kinzie, though he was
doing nothing openly, had caused the
word to be passed far and wide among
the Timanyoni stockholders, disaster
could be averted now only by prompt
rule-or-ruin secretary and treasurer.
"They're after you, john" was the
way the colonel put 1t at the close Of
the second day of back-slippings. "They
say you're fiddlin' while Rome's a.
burnin'. Maybe you know what they
mean by that; 1 don't"
Smith did know. During the two
days Of stress Miss Verda had been
very exacting. There had been another
night at the theater and much time
killing after meals In the parlors Of the
Hophra house. Worse still. there had
been a daylight auto trip about town
and up to the dam. The victim was
writhing miserably under he price
paying, but there seemed to be no help
for 1t. Since the night Of Verda Rich
lander's arrival in Brewster, he had not
seen Corona: he was telling himself

Work has been started on the Wiley
group in the White Water section.
There is at present considerable oil
excitement in the Lake Arthur dis

made on the 1,100-foot level east of

5000 pounds, or three tons of silver
and gold.
Three to four cars of manganese
ore is being shipped daily from the
Boston Hill properties west of Santa

about 1t (; but when a great corporation
like the Escalante Land company gets
down to plain anarchy and dynamiting,
it's time to make somebody sweat for
1t. Let's go and get Shaw"
Together they went across the corri-
dor, and Smith unlocked the door Of
the disused room. The light switch
was on the doOr-jamb and Starbuck
found and pressed the button. The
single incandescent bulb hanging from
the ceiling sprang alive-and showed
the two men at the door an empty
| room and an open window. The bird
had flown.
Starbuck was grinning again when
he went to look out Of the window.
The roof Of the adjoining building was
only a few feet below the sill level,
| and there was a convenient fire escape
ladder leading to the ground.
"It's US for that roadhouse out on
the Topaz trail before the news gets
around to Stanton and Lanterby." he
said definitely; and they lost no time
in securing an auto for the dash.
But that, too, proved to be a flasco.
When they reached Barton's all-night
place on the hill road, the bar was
still open and a card game was run
ming in an upstairs room. Starbuck
did the necessary cross-QuestiOning
of the dog-faced bartender.
"You know me, Pug, and what can
do to you IL have to. We want Hank
Lanterby. Pitch out and show us
| where"
The barkeeper threw up one hand
as II he were warding OF a blow.
| "You cd have him in a holy minute,
for all O. me. Billy; you sure could
he protested. But he's gone"
"On the level?" snapped Starbuck.
"That's straight; I wouldn't lie to

"T the hills; leastways he ain't

At all events, when Smith had helped
her out of the car at the hotel entrance
and had seen her as far as the eleva-
tor, she thanked him half absently and
took his excuse that he must return
the runabout to MaxwelFs garage, with
out laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away, bell
boy came across from the clerks desk
with u telegram for Miss Richander.
Smith had no excuse for lingering, but
with the air thick with threats he made
the tipping of the boy answer for a
momentary stop-gap. Miss Verda tore
the envelope open and read the inclo-
sure with fine-lined little frown COM
ing and going between her eyes.
Its from Tucker Jibbey," she said,
glancing up ut Smith. Someone has
told him where we are, and he is fol-
lowing us. He says he'll be here on
the evening train. Will you meet him
and tell him I've gone to bed?
At the mention of Jibbey, the money
spoiled son of the man who stood next
to Josiah Richlander In the credit rat
ings, and Lawrenceville's best imita-
ton Of faneur, Smiths first emotion
was one of relief ut the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him In the entertainment Of the bored
beauty; then he remembered that Jib-
bey had once considered him rival.
and that the sham "rounder's" pres
ence in Brewster would constitute a
menace more threatening than all Ne
others put together.
Il can't meet Tucker" he said blunt
ly. You know very well I can't"
That's so," was the quiet reply. "Of
course you can't. What will you do
when he comes run away?
mo; I can't do that, either. I shall
keep out of his way, If 1 can. If he

on the stage in the morning and send
him up into the mountains to join your
father"

Tucker! II he could only know what

to look as II you might have to go still

is one more thing I'd like to do before
leave Brewster. If I'll promise to
keep Tucker away from you, will you
drive me out to the Baldwins' tomor-
row afternoon? I want to see the
colonels fine horses. and he has invited
me. you know"
Smiths eyes darkened.
There is limit, Verda, and you've
reached it," he said quickly. "If the
colonel invited you to Hillcrest, 1t was
because you didn't leave him any
chance not to. resign in favor Of Jib-
bey," and with that he handed her into
the waiting elevator and said, Good
night"

but we'll do 1t. Then Wen go after

But Starbuck. reaching softly for a
chair-righting handhold upon Smiths
desk. made no reply. Instead he
snapped his 1.-THE body out Of the chair
and launched 1t in a sudden tiger
spring at the door. To Smiths aston
ishment. the door. which should have
been latched, came in at Starbuck's s
wrenching jerk Of the knob, bringing
with it, hatless. and with the breath
startled out of him, the new stenogra-
pher Shaw.
There's your states evidence" said
Starbuck grimly. pushing the half
dazed door listener into q chair. "Just
put the auger a couple of inches into
this fellow and see what you can find"
Richard Shaw had an exceedingly
bad quarter of an hour when Smith
and Starbuck applied the thumbscrews
to force q confession out Of him. New
ertheless, knowing the dangerous
ground upon which he stood, he evaded
and shuffied and prevaricated under
the charges and questionings until it
became apparent that nothing short Of
bribery or physical torture would get
the truth out of him. Smith was not
willing to offer the bribe, and since
the literal thumbscrews were out of
the question, Shaw was locked into
one Of the vacant rooms across the
corridor until his captors could deter
mine what was to be done with him.
"That is one time when fired and
missed the whole side Of the barn, "
Starbuck admitted, when Shaw had been
remanded to the makeshift cell across
the hall. 81 know that fellow is on
Stanton's pay roll and it's reasonably
certain that he got his job with you SO
that he could keep cases on you. But
we can't prove anything that we say,
so long as he refuses to talk"
"No," Smith agreed. II can dis
charge him, and that's about all that
can be done with him."
"He is pretty smooth article" said
Starbuck refiectively. HE used to be
a clerk in Maxwell's railroad Office,
and he was mixed up In some kind of
crookedness, don't remember just
what"
Smith caught quickly at the sugges-
ton.
"Wait a minute, Billy" he broke in !;
and then: There's no doubt in your
mind that he's a spy?"
''Sure he is" was the prompt re-
joinder.
II was just thinking-he has heard
what was said here tonight-which is
enough to give Stanton a pretty good
chance to outfgure our outfit again"
