Fortunately for the situation which

out OF the experiences gained in other
railroad-building enterprises the snid

Bryce obeyed. and for the first time
John Cardigan learned of his sons ac-
qunintance with Shirley Sumner and
the fact that she had been present In
Pennington's woods the day Bryce had
gone there to settle the score with
Jules Rondeau.
With the patience and gentleness Of
a confessor John Cardigan heard the
story now. and though Bryce gave no
hint in words that his affections were
involved in the fight for the Cardigan
acres yet did his father know 1t. for
he was parent. And his great heart
went out in sympathy for his boy.
