Macdonald had thought Of this be.
fore. It had been coming to him from
several different angles that he could
not afford to crafty his desire to wipe
this meddlesome young official from
his path. He made a slow, sulky
promise.
"All right. I'll let him alone. Peter
can tell him."
Swinging to the saddle, he spurred
his horse and cantered away. His
mind was full of the problem that had
come into his life. He rode abstract
edly, so that he was at the lower ford
of the creek almost before he knew it.
A bilberry thicket struggled down to
the opposite bank of the stream on
both sides of the road
The horse splashed through the ford
and took the little rise beyond with a
rush. Just before reaching the brow
Of the hill, the animal stumbled and
fell. AS it's rider went headlOng, he
caught glimpse Of cord drawn taut
across the path.
Macdonald, shaken by the fall, began
slowly to rise. From the shadows Of
the bilberry bushes two STOPPING fig
ures rushed at him. He threw up an
arm to ward off the club aimed at his
head, but succeeded only in breaking
the force of the blow. AS he staggered
back stunned, bullet glanced along
his forehead and ridged furrow
through the thick hair. A second
stroke of the club Jared him to the
heels.
Though his mind was not clear, his
body answered automatically the in
stinct that told him to close with his
assailants. He lurched forward and
gripped one wrestling with him for
the revolver. Vaguely he knew by the
sharp, jagged shoots of pain that the
second man was beating his head with
club. The warm blood dripped
through his hair and blinded his eyes.
Dazed and shaken, he yet managed to
get the revolver from the man who had
it. But it was his last effort. He was
too far gone to use it. A blow on the
forehead brought him unconscious to
the ground bleeding from dozen
wounds.
On his way back to Seven Mile Creek
camp Gordon Elliot rode down to'the
ford. In the dusk he was almost upon
them before the robbers heard him.
For a moment the two men stood gaz-
ing at him and he at the tragedy be-
fore him. One Of the men moved
toward his horse.
"Stop there!" ordered Gordon sharp
~, and reached for his revolver.
The man-it was the miner North
rup-jumped for Elliot and the field
agent fired. Another moment and he
was being dragged from the saddle.
What happened next was never clear
to him. He knew that both Of the
bandits closed in on him and that he
was fighting desperately against odds.
The revolver had been knocked from
his hand and he fought with bare fists
just as they did.
They quartered over the ground, for
Gordon would not let either Of them
get behind him. They were larger
than he, heavy, muscle-bound giants
of great strength, but he was far more
active on his feet. He jabbed and

sidestepped and retreated. More than
once their heavy blows crashed on
his face. His eyes dared not wander
from them for an instant, but he was
working toward definite plan. As he
moved his feet were searching for the
automatic he had dropped.
; One of his feet, dragging over the
ground, came into contact with the
steel. With a swift side kick Gordon
flung the weapon dozen feet to the
left. Presently, watching his chance,
he made dive for it.
Trelawney, followed by Northrup,
turned and ran. One Of them caught
Macdonald's horse by the bride. He
swung to the saddle and the other man
clambered on behind. There was
clatter of hoofs and they were gone.
Elliot stopped over the battered body
that lay huddled at the edge Of the
water. So badly had the face been
beaten and hammered that it was not
until he had washed the blood from
the wounds that Gordon recognized
Macdonald.
Opening the coat Of the insensible
man, Gordon put his hand against the
heart. He could not be sure whether
he felt 1t beating or whether the thrOb
bling came from the pulses in his finger
tips. AS well as he could he bound up
the wounds with handkerchiefs and
stanched the bleeding. With ice-cold
water from the stream he drenChed
the bruised face. A faint sigh quiv-
cred through the slack, inert body.
Gordon hoisted Macdonald across
the saddle and led the horse through
the ford. He walked beside the. animal
to town, and never had two miles
seemed to him so far. With one hand
he steadied the helpless body that lay
like a sack of -four balanced in the
trough of the saddle.
Kusiak at last lay below him, and
when he descended the hill to theSsub-
urbs almost the first house was the one
where the Pagets lived.
Elliot threw the body across his
shoulder and walked up the walk to
the porch. He kicked upon the door
with his foot. Sheha answered the
knock. and at sight Of what he car

institutions. from the high school up, to
utilitarian purposes. to the preparation
for earning money in trades and profess

scoping of the course of liberal arts
