CHAPTER VIII

Through the green timber Bryce
Cardigan strobe, and there was a lit
in his heart now. Already he had
forgotten the desperate situation from
which he had just escaped; he thought
only of Shirley Summers face, tear
stained with terror; and because he
knew that at least some Of those tears
had been inspired by the gravest APP
prehensions as to his physical we'll
being, because in his ears there still
resounded her frantic warning, he
realized that however stern her decree
of Punishment had been, she was
nevertheless not Indifferent to him.
The climax had been reached-and
passed; and the result had been far
from the disaster he had painted In
his minds eye ever since the knowl-
edge had come to him that he was
doomed to battle to knockout with
Colonel Pennington, and that one OF
tie earliest fruits of hostilities would
doubtless be the loss Of Shirley Sum-
ner's priced friendship. Well, he had
lost her friendship, but a still small
voice whispered to him that the loss
was not irreparable-whereat he
swung his axe as bandmaster swings
his baton; be was glad that he had
started the war and was now free to
fight It out unhampered.
Up hill and down dale he went.
Within two hours his long, tireless
stride brought him out into clearing
In the valley where his own logging
camp stood. He went directly TO the
log-landing, where in a listless and
Lalf-hearted manner the loading crew
were piling logs on PenningtOn's log
ging trucks.
Bryce looked at his watch. 1t was
two O'Clock; at two Fifteen Penning-
toms locomotive would appear, to back
In and couple to the long line of
trucks. And the train was only half
loaded.
"where's McTavish?" Bryce de-
manded of the donkey-driyer.
The man mouthed his quid, spat
copiously. wiped his mouth with the
back Of his hand, and pointed. up
at his shanty," he made answer, and
grinned at Bryce knowingly.
Up through the camps single short
street. flanked on each side with the
woodsmen's shanties. Bryce went. AT
the most pretentious shanty on the
street Bryce turned in. He had never
seen it before, but he knew it to be
the woods-boss's home. for unlike its
neighbors the house was painted with
the coarse red paint that is used on
box-cars, while fence, made of fancy
pointed pickets painted white, incIosed
tiny garden in front of the house.
AS Bryce came through the gate. a
young girl rose from where she knelt
in a bed Of freshly transplanted
pansies.
Bryce lifted his hat. 'Is Mr.. Nc.
lavish at homer" he asked.

Gus.
well, this morning young Cardigan
came to my office, reminded me that
the contract would expire by limita-
ton next year and asked me to renew
1t, and at the same freight-rate. l
offered to renew the contract but at
a higher freight-rate, and explained TO
him that l could not possibly continue
to haul his logs at loss. Well, right
away he flew in a rage and called
me robber; whereupon | informed
him that since he thought me robber,
perhaps we had better not attempt to
have any business dealings with each
other-that 1 really didn't want his
contract at any price, having scarcely
sufficient rolling stock to handle my
own logs. That made him calm down,
but in little while he lost his head
again and grew snarly and abusive
to such an extent, indeed. that finally
l was forced to ask him TO leave my
office"
Nevertheless, Uncle Seth, l cannot
understand why he should make such
a furious attack upon your employee"
The Colonel laughed with a fair
imitation of sincerity and tolerant
amusement. MY dear, that is no
mystery to me. Cardigan picked on

days ago he tired to hire ROndeSl

"FOR MY SAKEl

Synopsis. in the Califor-

at forty-seven, is the leading citizen
of Sequoia, owner of mills. ships,
and many acres of timber, a wild
over after three years of married
life, and father of two-year-old
Bryce Cardigan. At fourteen Bryce
makes the acquaintance of Shirley
Sumner. a visitor at Sequoia, and
his Junior by few years Together
they visit the Valley of the Giants,
sacred to John Cardigan and his
son as the burial place of Bryce's
mother, and part with mutual re-
greet. While Bryce is at college
John Cardigan meets with heavy
business losses and for the first
time views the future with uncer-
tainty. After graduation from col
lege, and a trip abroad, Bryce Car
digan comes home. On the train he
meets Shirley Sumner, on her way
to Sequoia to make her home there
with her uncle, Colonel Pennington.
Bryce learns that his fathers eye

more with well-placed blows from left
to right, and continued on across the
clearing, running at top speed. for he
realized that for all the desperation
of his fight and the losses already in
flicted on his assailants, the odds
against him were insurmountable.
Seeing him running away. the
Laguna Grande woodsmen took heart
and hope and pursued him. Straight
for the loading donkey at the dog
landing Bryce ran. Beside the donkey
stood a neat tier of firewood; In the
chopping block, where the donkey
fireman had driven it prior to aban-
doning his post to view the contest
between Bryce and Jules Rondeau, was
double-bitted axe. Bryce jerlsed 1t
loose, swung it. whirled on his pur-
suers, and rushed them. Like turkeys
scattering before the raid Of a coyote
they fed in divers directions and from
safe distance turned to gaze APP
prehensively upon this Demon they
had been ordered to bring in.
Bryce lowered the axe. removed his
hat. and mopped his moist brow. From
the center of the clearing men were
crawling or staggering to safety
with the exception of the Black
Minorca, who lay moaning softly.

hopes expire. lost his head completely.
