The superintendent seemed to wait

last. "There Is nothing that we can

CHAPTER II

= Before the gray dawn came over the
land Bruce Duncan had started west
ward. He had no self-amazement at
the lightning decision. He was only
strangely and deeply exultant.
The reasons why went too deep
within him to be easily seen. In the
first place. 1t was adventure-and
Bruce's life had not been very adven-
turous heretofore. Then there was
sense Of Unreasonable relief at his
sudden and unexpected freedom from
the financial problems his father had
left. He would have no more consul
tations with impatient creditors, no
more would he strive to gather to
gether the ruins Of the business, and
attempt to salvage the small remain
Ing fragments of his fathers fortune.
He had no plans, he didn't know which
way to turn. All at once. through the
message that Barney had brought him.
he had seen a clear trail ahead. 1t
was something to do, something at
last that mattered.
Finally there remained the eminent
fact that this was an answer to his
dream. He was going toward Linda.
at last. The girl had been the one
living creature In his memory that he
had cared for and who cared for him
the one person whose interest in him
was real. Linda, the little "spitfire"
of his boyhood. had suddenly become
the one reality In his world, and as he
thought Of her. his memory reviewed
the few Impressions he mad retained
Of his childhood.
First was the Square house-the
orphanage-where the Woman had
turned him over to the nurse In
charge. Sometimes, when tobacco
smoke was heavy upon him, Bruce
could catch q very dim and fiueting
glimpse Of the Woman's face. II WAS
only q glimpse, only the faintest blur
In half-tone, and then quite gone. Yet
he never gave up trying.
The few times that her memory
picture did come to him. II brought
number of things with Il. One Of
them was great and overwhelming
realization Of some terrible tragedy
and terror the nature Of which he
could not even guess.
.She's been through nre." the nurse
told the doctor. when he came In and
the door had closed behInd the Woman.

CHAPTER ~

There had not been time to make In
quiry as to the land Bruce wss going
to. He only knew one thing--that
II was the wilderness. The fact that
he had no business plans for the future
and no financial resources except q
few hundred dollars that he carried
In his pocket did not matter one way
or another. He was willing to spend
all the money he had; after II was
gone. he would take up some work In
life anew.
He had moments wonder at the
effect his departure would have upon
the financial problem that had been
his fathers sole legacy to him. He
laughed Z little a. he thought Of II.
But the idea that others also--having
no business relations with his father
might be Interested IN this westerp
journey Of his did not sven occur
to him.
But the paths men take. seemingly.

nable." he said significantly. "But I'll
take the little beggar. anyway"
And thus BrucVawent to the cold
fireslde of the Duncans-a house In
a great and distant city where, In the
years that had passed, many things
scarcely worth remembering had tran
spired. 1t was a gentleinan's house
as far as the meaning of the word
usually goes-and Bruce had been af-
forded a gentleman's education. There
was also. for while, certain amount
of rather doubtful prosperity, wom-
an who died after a few months Of
casual interest in him, and many,
many hours of almost overwhelming
loneliness. Also there we're many
thoughts such as are not especially
good for the spirits Of growing boys.
The>place where the Duncans lived
was house, but under no liberal In
depreciation of the word could II be
called a home. There was nothing
homelike In II to little Bruce.
The other lasting memory was Of
Linda. She represented the one liv-
ing creature In all his assemblage Of
phantoms-the one person with whom
he, could claim real kinship. He had
done bold thing, after his first few
years with the Duncans. He planned
It long and carried It out with infinite
care as to details. He wrote to Linda,
In care Of the superintendent of the
orpbanage.
The answer only deepened the
mystery. Linda was missing. Whether
she had run away, or whether some
one had come by In a closed car and
carried her OF as she played on the
lawns, the superintendent could not
tell. They had never been able to
trace her. He had been fifteen then.
a tall boy with rather unusual muscu-
lar development, and the girl was
eleven. And In the year nineteen hum
dred and twenty. ten years after the
reply to his letter, Bruce had heard
no word from her. He had given up
all hope of ever hearing from her
again. my little sister," he said
softly to a memory. Then bitterness
"a whole black flood of it--would
come upon him. "Good Lord, don't
even know that she was my sister"
But now. he was going to nnd her
and his heart was full Of Joy and eager
anticipation.

Bruce suddenly leaned forward.
The brown face had grown quite

"What else did she say" Bruce
asked. He spoke slowly-with evident
difficulty.
Barney answered with the same
slowness-each word distinct. "For
you to come-and she made me swear
to tell you-on the first train. That
there was no time to lose" The mans
voice broke and changed. "Isn't that
queer. Bruce?"
Bruce slowly stiffened; the only sign
Of emotion was one that even Barney's
eyes, trained to the dimness of the will
derness, failed to see. II was just an
ever-tightening clasp Of his hands over
the chair arms until the blue veins
stood out. There was nothing else
about him to indicate that the dead
had spoken to him-that one Of the
great dreams of his life was coming
true. He spoke rather painfully. did

Then ask directions from there. Ask,

Bruce leaped up and turned swiftly

question to his vanishing figure. Just
for an instant Bruce rurned-his dark
eyes glowing beneath his straight
brows.

tions on the first train west," he an
