CHAPTER XIV.

The success of Bryce Cardigan's
plan for getting his rails down from
Laurel creek depended entirely upon
the whimsy which might seize the crew
of the big mogul that hauled the last
load of logs out of Cardigan's red
woods on Thursday afternoon. Should
the engineer and fireman decide to
leave the locomotive at the logging
camp for the night, Bryce's task would
he as simple as turning a. hose down a
squirrel hole. On the other hand,
should they run back to Sequoia with
the engine, he and Ogilvy faced the al
tentative of borrowing 1t from the
Laguna Grande Lumber companys
roundhouse; and that operation, In
view of the fact that Pennngton's night
Waterman would be certain to hear the
engine leaving, offered difficulties.
Throughout the afternoon, after
having sent his orders In writing to
the woods.boss, via George Sea Otter
(for he dared not trust to the tele-
phone), he waited in his office for a
telephone call from the logging camp
as TO what action the engine crew had
taken. Finally, at quarter of six,
Curtis, his woods-boss, rang in.
They're staying here all night, sir"
he reported.
blouse them as far from the log
landing as possible, and organize
poker game to keep them busy In case
they don't go to bed before eight
o'clock" Bryce ordered. "In the mean
time, send a man you can trust--Jim
Harding, who runs the big bull-donkey,
will do-down to the locomotive to
keep steam up until arrive"
He had scarcely hung up, when
Buck Ogilvy came into the Office
"Welli' he queried casually.
"Safe-o, BuckV replied Bryce.
Nothing TO do but get bite of din
ner and proceed to business"
Buck Insisted on keeping an engage.
ment TO dine with Mora, and Bryce
agreed to call for him at the Bon
Gusto restaurant. Then Bryce went
home to dine with his father. Old
Cardigan was happier than his son
had seen him since the return of the
latter to Sequoia.
"Well, sonny, w. had mighty
pleasant afternoon" he declared as
Bryce led him TO the dinner table.
"l've been up to the Valley of the
Giants"
Bryce was amazed. "Why, how
could your" he demanded. 1.-THE old
skid road is impossible, and after you
leave the end of the skid road, the
trail in to mothers grave is so over
grown with buckthorn and wild lilac

mot bit of It." the old man re-
piled. "Somebody has gone to work
and pIanked that old skid road and
put up a hand rail on each side,
while the trail through the Giants has
been grubbed out and smoothed over.
All that old logging cable | abandoned
Il. those cboppings has been strung
from tree to tree alongside the path

now, once George sets me on the old

closed the front door after him brought

to the staircase.

swered. "That fellow Cardigan is back
Of the N. C. O., after all, and he and
Ogilvy have gang Of fifty men down
at the intersection of Water and b
streets, cutting in jump-crossing of

He dashed into the living room, and
she heard him calling frantically into
the telephone.
"At last!" she murmured, and crept
down the stairs, pausing behind the
heavy portieres at the entrance to the
living room.
"That you, Poundstone?" she heard
him saying rapidly into the transmit
ter Pennington speaking. Young
Bryce Cardigan is behind that N. c. o.

intended to build through to Grants

Thank you, Poundstone, thank

He stood at the telephone, the re-
ceiver still held TO his ear and his
right forefnger holding down the hook
while the line. cleared When he spoke
again, Shirley knew he was calling his
mill office. He got a response immedi-
ately, Notwithstanding the lateness of
the hour.
Sexton? Pennington speaking. I've
sent over the Black Minorca with

passionately. "Y0u know you cant.

Black Minorca will kill him. Go in
stantly and stop it,
"All right, all right |" he said rather
humbly, and sprang down the front
steps into the waiting car. "Tll play
the game fairly. Shirley, never fear"
She stood in the doorway and
watched the red tail-light, like a
malevolent eye, disappear down the
street. And presently as she stood
there, down the boulevard huge gray
car came slipping noiseessly-so
noiselessly, in fact, that Shirley recog-
nized II by that very quality of silence.
1t was Bryce Cardigan's Napier.
"George!" she called. "Come here"
The car slid over to the gate and
stopped at the sight Of the slim white
figure running down the garden walk.

She laughed Historically. "0n your
way back from the hospital stop and
pick me up. George" she ordered.
He touched his broad hat, and she
returned to the house to dress.
Meanwhile Colonel Pennington had
reached the crossing once more, sim
ultaneously with the arrival of Sam
Perkins, the chief Of police, accom-
panied by two automobiles crammed
with patrolmen. Perkins strutted up
to Bryce Cardigan and Buck Ogilvy.
"What's the meaning of all this row,
NJ. CardiganT he demanded.
Something has slipped, SAM"
Bryce retorted pleasantly. you've
been calling me Bryce for the past
twenty years, and now you're mister

you ask?' Bryce continued. "Well,
I'm engaged in making a jump cross
