Ms companion flashed a look of
warning at him and explained that
they were going down the river to look
far work outside of the district.
Suddenly Trelawney broke loose
and began to curse Macdonald with a
bitterness that surprised the govern
ment agent. What struck him most,
though, was the obvious anxiety OF
Northrup to quiet his partner and to
gloss yer what he had said.
Elliot bought an automatic revolver
NEXT morning and n box Of cartridges.
He was not looking for trouble, but he
intended TO be prepared for II when
trouble came looking for him. In the
afternoon he walked out of town and
practiced shooting at tin cans for
half an hour. On his way back he
met Peter Puget.
The engineer came straight to the
subject In his mind.
"Selfridge came TO see me lost night.
He told me about the trouble between
You and Macdonald, Gordon. You must

A CLEAN Of hope showed In the eye
OF the engineer. "You didn't bring

Maybe I did say I would. Anyhow,
l thought better Of II. But I'm glad
someone had the sense to tell Miss

You're as obstinate ms the devil"
smiled Peter. but in his heart he ad.
mired the dourness Of his friend.
The engineer went to Macdonald and
gave n deleted version Of his talk with
Elliot. The Scotsman listened, n bit
ter, incredulous smile on his face.

Peter was OF different stuff from
Selfridge. He had something TO say.
So he said Il.
"Times have changed, Mac. You
can't shoot down this fellow without
making all kinds OF trouble. First
thing, we'd lose our claims. The nd.
ministration would drop you like a hot
potato II you did a thing like that.
Sheba would never speak to you again.
Your friends would know In their
hearts II was murder. You can't do IT,"
Macdonald's Jaw clamped. "Then
let him get out. That's my last word
TO him."

Macdonald had thought Of this be-

several different angles that he could
not afford to crafty his desire to wipe
this meddlesome young Official from
his path. He made q slow. sulky
promise.
