AfterWard Wilton could not imagine
how he had found strength to resist
her. With Molly lost, jim Belts him

caring nothing for the line, why did
he not let it go? In that black hour
the temptation of her presence, the
human love that was his for the TAX

his ears.

ancestors. or simply the Unborn instinct

strength. But he did not know how
he left her till he found himself In the

He went to the bank, the last place,
and the last, hopeless effort, fore

Phayre chuckled and began TO drum

The car was crowded, for it was the
time Of day when working men were
returning home from their work.
Among the straphangers was a woman
who, not being pleased with the service
she was receiving, was trying in a
roundabout way TO induce a certain
man to give up his seat. Finding her
efforts useless she said In despair,

CHAPTER x
The Abysnal Depths.

Molly did not see BOwyer for two
months after Kitty's departure. His
next visit was as unexpected rs all of
his. 1t was in the afternoon, and the
girl came back from a walk along the
shore to see him seated in the store,
sleek, red. and self-satisfied, and her
father standing beside him, with that
look Of awful fear On his face. She
had n ~momentary impression as If the

He started up, spluttering. "We don't

soon grading would begin. Wilton's
camp would shrink, and the engines
would bee moved ahead, and-he would
have time 10 think.
He dreaded that. He had not seen
Molly or the factor since that night
of the subsistence. He knew that
Bower had paid more than one visit
to the store, but he shrugged his
shoulders and put 1t out Of his mind.
The %wOrkmen, after their months
Of arduous labor, had begun to grow
slack. There was restiveness In the
camp. Once or twice Wilton had seen
signs Of liquor. He detected 1t In the
slowing up Of work he had smelled it
In the bunkhOuses-the penetrating
odor Of cheap alcohol, with its sugges-
ton Of gasoline.

'The best policy" said Wilton. 'The
men have worked hard. When this jobs
finished we'll let them slack up for
a day or two. Then Wen get down
to business on this proposition. But
II you find out anything let me know
at once"
A few days later came the spanning
OF the swamp. On the same afternoon
a summons came from the court, to-
gether with a letter from Quain. The
police had at last picked up Papillon
and Passepartout, and had recovered
the rifle and transit compass. Wilton
was wanted in Clayton to give evil
dence against the men.
The call was opportune. Wilton had
already determined to put into eXecu-
ton Il plan that he had formed. 1t
was now October, and little more than
two months remained before the loan
would be called. That would give
Bowyer the control of the Missatibi.
Driven by the ironical realization that
he was working for Bowyer, Wilton
had resolved TO 90 to Clayton as oon
as the trestling was completed, and
try to raise the money to pay Phayre,
who, he knew, would not renew the
note.
Big Muskeg was spanned. And, on
the strengthen that, Wilton believed
the time had come to give Joe's secret
TO the world. He would publish far
and wide the secret of the wheat
lands. He would establish sufficient
confidence in the line to make the
raising of a loan a possibility.
Before leaving he placed a night
guard on duty over the office, and ar
ranged with Andersen to have three
or four reliable lei on watch in the
event of the laborers attempting to
cross the portage. He went to Clayton
and laid his statement before n di-
r~ectors' meeting. They heard him in
frigid silence.
That's an old story" said Curtis,
the vice-president, when he had
finished.
An angry wrangle followed, which
led nowhere. They fatty refused 70
spend any money on advertising. All
the while, Phayre, leaning back in his
chair. looked on and took no part in
the proceedings.
ut comes 10 this" said Curtis final
ly, humping the table theoretically.
