The puzzled ones were perplexed for
two reasons. They had just been in

there That was one reason. They
had read the story appearing under
the "riot' headlines in the Farmers
Leader and had found no account OF
any rioting. That was the other rca-

ION the jump" Dan assured him,
and hung up the receiver.
He sighed heavily as he settled into
the coat that an obsequious attendant
held for him. Carwood was enjoying
his peace and prosperity, and he knew
that whatever Slemmer wanted him to
do probably involved risk. Dan had no
appetite for hazard. He hated to en-
danger the position he had attained;
but he had passed his word to help
Pinky when called upon, and he had
no thought of breaking his promise.
Dams one virtue was his fidelity to his
word and when a mans virtue is
single, he is prone to be fanatically
faithful to it.

game at club early one autumn evening
when an attendant called him to speak
to Pinky on the phone. Dan was
mildly surprised. Pinky had been on
hunting trip east OF the mountains for
several weeks, and was not expected
back for several more.

voice came over the wire. Listen, bo.

''Ye-e-es?" Catwood drawled. "You
are good pal, Pinky. I'd have took
a chance on tapping you for piece of

with a woman.
She was good woman. 1t was
part of the game that she should be-
lieve herself in loV e with Dan. 1t was
part of the 81 me that she should find
herself truly in love with another. 1t
was part of the game that Dan should
see her In the others arms and that
sight was the birth of the Dan Car
wood whom the coast knew.

whom her heart belonged, bore him a

was dimmed by no shadow Of mourning

Carwood grinned and nodded.
''The phony hitch, huh? I'll have to
rustic a long black coat and read up on
the marriage service"
You can look the part" Pinky as

boys up here for witnesses, and we'll

Carwood sighed.
You put me on earth in this town,
Pinky," he said slowly. This is risky
game, and l think you're boob to play
it; but I'm yours for anything you
want"
Never a risk in the world !" Pinky
boosted. Nobody in on it but you and
me and couple of the boys that we can
trust to keep still. This little girl is
awfully strong for me. BY the time
she finds out what we put over on her

one real preacher more or less won't
bother her SO much. I'll have a spread
sent up from Carson's, and We'll give
her everything real but the parson, Dan.
What she don't know won't hurt her."
I'm with you, Pinky," Carwood said
doggedly. "It's a boob stunt, this, but
I'm with you! -
"
Carwood recognized her the moment
Slemmer ushered her into the apart
ment. The daughter was the image OF
the mother-of the mother as CarwOod
remembered her twenty years before.
She was the daughter Of the woman
Carwood had loved and lost.
Following the first shock of surprise,
there came to Carwood thrill of savage
satisfaction. The woman he had loved
had hurt him. He hac it in his power
to hurt her. He was to aid In wreck
ing the daughter of the man and woman
who had cheated him of love. A re-
venge ordered in a day dream could not
have been more perfect.
Dan laughed from an excess Of sheer
joy when Slemmer presented him to the
girl as the Rev. DR.. Daniels.
This is Miss Willamore," Slemmer
said to Carwood with a wink. but not
miss for long-eh, Helen?"
The girl blushed and bowed Gemurely
to Dan. She was a slender, dark haired
girl, with delicate features and large
brown eyes. They were replcas, those
eyes, of the ones that had once held the
reflection of heaven and hell for Car
wood. Dan looked into them and
laughed again.

Willamore?" be inquired, with an as
sumption of ministerial JUNCTION.
"Only my mother" the girl answered.

"Ah!" Dan murmured sympa-

lonely without you"
"Oh, but she's going to live with US, "

When Carwood spoke, his voice was
husky with gratitude.

Tina. was the one good thing that
could be- honestly said about Dan Car
wood. Dan was bad. He had been
bad for twenty years, and grew worse
with age.
At time when gambling hourished
from San Francisco to Nome he was re-
puted the cleverest man on the coast
with deck of cards. Tall, lean, almost
ministerial in appearance, he had the
knack of winning a strangers conf
dence. Dan could horn into game on
boat or train from which every other
professional On the coast would be
barred at sight.
He took fiendish delight in wrecking
men who could be utterly wrecked by
their losses in poker game. 1t was said
Of him that he would rather win
thousand from a man with wife and
family and just that much money than
ten times the amount from one who
could afford the loss. He was possessed
by a passion for destruction.
To the women of his world he was
deadly magnet. Cold, utterly cruel, he
toyed with them, only that he might get
them firmly enough within the grasp of
his evil charm. He hated the world and
the people thereof. He hated women
more bitterly than men. Most of all he
hated anything that savored of goodness,
purity, faith. His supreme delight was
the destruction of a mans or woman $
faith in anything. And all this be-
cause his own faith had been destroyed!
Dan Carwood might have been fine.
There was time in his middle twenties
when his soul was clean and worthy. 1t
was a strong soul, and tender. 1t was
worth while soul, and as such was
claimed by both good and evil and
played for in game in which circum-
