Ten minutes after that, Barry
Houston was alone in his office.
jenkins was gone, discharged:
and Houston felt a sort OF relief
in the knowledge that he had de-
parted.
He returned 10 Tabernacle and
attempted the only solution; he
must secure timber from Medaine
Robtnette and bid on the railroad
contract.
Houston felt that he would be
presuming to ask It OF her-him-
self a stranger against whom had
come the accusation OF murder.
Yet, wlthal, in a way, no welcom-
ed the chance to soc her and to
seek to explain to her the deadly
thrusts which Fred Thayer had
sent against him.
MedaIne's hand trembled slight.
" as she extended It to .Ba'tiste.
Houston she received with a bow
forced, he thought.
Eve have como for business.
Medaine," Ba'tiste announced.
"M'sieu Houston, he have need for
flume slte."
She seemed to hesitate then and
Houston took a sudden resolve. It
might as we'll be now as later.
"Ntiss Robinette," he began,
coming forward, II realize that ali
this needs some. explanation. Es-
pecially." and he halted "about

Houston came directly to the
question.

on condition that a high OUT

Mysterious accidents have pre-
vented this and Houston, ar
riylnE from Boston, finds that
tliis IS due 70 the treachery Of
his mill superintendent,
FRED TIIAYER. Houston Is as
sisted in his work In the timber
country by
BAsTIsTE RENAuD, an eccentric
F'rench- Canadian, whose life
has been saddened by the double
tragedy OF his sons death in
France and the unsolved mur.

charges Thayer despite the re-
ippnstrancss OF
AGNES J11RDoN, a girl who has
amysterious hold over Houston.
The mill is burned. Houston de-
cides TO carry on the fight when
he rs confronted with q forged
lease which turns his timber
rights over TO a netghborlng
humber company. Houston
claims he doesn't remember
signing such a lease. In the
presence OF

Houston Is attracted, Thayer
says Houston probably doesn't

anger left the muscles OF Barry
Houston. The red flame OF indig-
nation turned to a s0dden, dead
thing. He could only realize that
Medaine Robfnette had heard him
accused without a single state
