later to see his chief standing bare

shall.
The minute Of funeral had to be
pushed aside. The river would not
wait. Train after train was rushed on
to the trestles; wave after wave hit
them. But ~perceptibly the dam was
steadying. The rapid fire Of rock was
telling.
Another ridge of yellow waters rose.
The roll Of water came slowly, dwin-
ding as II came; 1t broke against the
trestle weakly. For the first time the
trestle never shuddered. Workers and
watchers breathed as a unit the first
deep breath that night. There was a
change. Every eye was on the river
where 1t touched the rim Of the dam.
Suddenly a chorused cry rose. The
river had stopped rising. The whistles
screamed themselves hOarse.
And then a girl, sitting on the bank,
saw two men grab each other by the
hand. She was too far away to hear
their voices. but the sun, rising red
through the banks of smoke, fell on
the %blaekened faces Of her brother and
Richard. She did not care who saw
her crying.

CHAPTER xxxN.



The second evening after the closure
Richard was dining with the Mar
shalls In their car. The Palmyra was
to pull out the next day. Hardin's
name was brought up by Tod Mar
shall. "She was light potatoes" he
dismissed the woman. "But she's
broken the mans spirit"
Richard, 1t was discovered, had
nothing to say on the subject of the
elOpement.
"Pm sorry his sister is not here to-

Mrs. Marshall while l am on the

Richard gulped down his coffee,
boiling. Mrs. Marshall, will you let
me run away earlyT Why should he
give any excuse2 They knew what he
was running away fort
He made his way to the little white
tent on the far side of the trapezium.
Innes, by the door, was bidding good
by to Sonora Maldonado.
He forgot to greet the Mexican. She
stood waiting; her eyes full of him.
Surely, the kind senior had something
to say to herr He had taken the white
girls hand. He vas staring into the
white girls eyes. Something came to
her, a memory like forgotten music.
Silently, she slipped away into the
night.
Richard would not release Innes'
hand; her eyes could not meet the
look In his.

you were going. You were running

"You know that | love you'll l have
been waiting for this minute, this
woman, all these lonely years."
Her head she kept turned from him.
He could not see the little maternal
smile that ran around the curves Of
her mouth. Those years, filled to the
brim with stern work, had not been
lonely. Lonely moments he had had,
that was all,
"Nothlng for meT" He stopped, and
made her face him, by taking both Of

CHAPTER !.

The First Nayfarer and the Second
wayfarer Meet and Part on the
Highway.
A solitary figure trudged along the
narrow road that wound its serpen-
tinous way through the dismal forbid
ding depths Of the fOrest-a man who,
though weary and foOtsore. Jagged not
in his swift, resolute advance. Night
was coming on, and with it the no un-
certain prospects Of a storm.
He came to the pike" and there
was a signpost. A huge, erudely paint
ed hand pointed to the left, and on
what was intended to be the sleeve Of
q very stiff and ~unHinching arm these
words were printed in scaly white:
'Hart's Tavern. Food for Man and
Beast. Also Gasoline. Established

On the opposite side Of the pike"
In the angle formed by a junction with
the narrow mountain road, stood an
humber signpost, lettered so indis-
tinctly that it deserved the compass
sion Of all observers because Of its
humility. Swerving In his hurried pas
sage, the tall stranger drew near this
shrinking friend to the uncertain trav-
eler, and was suddenly aware Of an.
other presence in the roadway.
A woman appeared, as If from no
where, almost at his side. He drew
back to let her pass. She stopped be-
fore the little signpost, and together
they made out the faint directions.
To the right and up the mountain
road Frogg's Corner lay four miles and
a half away; Pitcairn was six miles
back over the road which the man had
Travelled. Two miles and a half down
the turnpike was Spanish Falls, a rail-

For he would deny III She wondered
If he were angry, but she could not
look at him.
The minutes, dragging like weighted
hours, told her that he was not going
to answer her. 1t came to her then
that she would never know whether
Gerty's story were wholly false, or
partly true. She knew, then, that no
wheedling, wlfe's or sweetheart's,
would tease that story from him. It
did not belong to him.
His silence frightened her into ar
tlculateness. He must not think that
she was foolish II was not that, in
itself, she meant. The words jostled
one another in their soft swift rush.
He-he had made n mistake once be-
fore. He had liked the sort of woman
he had thought Gerry was. She her.
self was not like the real Gerty any
more than she was like the other, the
woman that did not exist. He would
find that they did not think alike, be-
lieye alike, that there were differ
enccs-
aren't you making something out
Of nothing, Innes?'
That voice could always chide her
into silence! Her speech lay cluttered
In ruins, her words like useless broken
bricks falling from the wall she was
building.
He took her hand and led her to a
pile of rock the river had not eaten.
He pulled her down beside him.

from the tips OF her limp fingers. His

by an external win, her face raised to

sent by Richard to find out why the
train did not pun out, saw him the
same instant us did Molly. Silent
swayed, waving them back unseelngly,
like a man who is drunk.
"God, man, you can't go like that p
cried Estrada.
"Who's goingI" demanded Silent, his

the t%restle, as the whistle blew angrily

following.
The river was humping out yonder;
the rolling mass came roaring, flank
on, against the dam.
"Quick, for Gods sake, quick !"
yelled Richard. His signals sounded
short and sharp. "Dump II on, throw
the AIRS In" Marshall was dancing,
his mouth full Of oaths, on the bank
edge. B~reathlessly all watched the
rushing water fling Itself over the dam.
For several hushed seconds the struc-
ture could not be seen. When the
foam fell a cheer went up. The dam
was standing. Silent, II was supposed

Three trains ran steamlng on the

There was a long wait before any

again. Then they Saw what was
