Nevertheless. Uncle Seth cannot
understand why he should make such

The Colonel laughed with a fair
imitation OF sincerity and tolerant
amusement. MY dear, that is no
mystery TO me- Cardigan picked on
Rondeau for the reason that a few
days ago he tired to hire ROndeau
away from me-ofTered him twenty-five
dollars month more than was pay

CHAPTER vll-cont,1 ued.


The helpless hulk of the woods boss
descended dpon the ColonePs expan-
sive chest and sent him crashing earth
ward. Then Bryce, war-mad, turned
to face the ring of Laguna Grande EN-.
ployees about him.
"Nextr' he 7oared, "Singly, in
pairs, or the whole damned packi"
'Mr. Cardigan
He turned. Colonel Pennington's
breath had been knocked out of his
body by the impact of his semi-eon-
scious woods-boss, and he lay iEert,
gasping like hooked fish. Beside
him Shirley Sumner was kneeling, her
hands clasping her uncle's, but with
her violet eyes blazing fercely on
Bryce Cardigan.
"How dare your" she cried. "You
coward To hurt my uncle"
He gazed at her for a moment,
fercely, defiantly, his chest rising and
falling from his recent exertions. his
knotted fists CORY with the blood Of
his enemy. Then the light of battle
died, and he hung his head. "rm
sorry" he murmured, mot for his
sake. but yours. I didn't know you
were here. / forgot-myself.'
"Tll never speak to you again so
long as live" she burst out passion
ately.
He advanced step and stood gaz-
ing down upon her. Her angry glance
met his unflinchingly; and presently
for him the light went out Of the
world.
Very WE'LL" he murmured. Good
bye And with bowed head he turned
and made off through the green timber
toward his own loggingcamp five
miles distant.
With the descent upon his breast of
the limp body of his big woods-bully,
Colonel Pennington had been struck
to earth as effectually as if a fair-sized
tree had fallen on him, the last Whit
OF breath had been driven from his
lungs; and for the space of minute,
during which Jules Rondeau lay heav-
lily across his midrfff, the Colonel was
quite unable to get it back. Pale,
gasping, and Jared from soul to sus-
penders, he was merely aware that
something unexpected and disconcert-
Ing had occurred.
While the Colonel fought for his
breath. his woodsmen remained in the
Sning, paralyzed into inactivity by
reason of the swiftness and thorough
ness Of Bryce Cardigan's work; then
shirley motioned to them to remove
TIE wreckage, and they FASTENED to
obey.
Freed from the weight on the
