intendent, Fred Thayer, is guilty of
sabotage. Motoring from Boston to
the timber lands in Colorado, Hous-

H. few miles from Tabernacle, where
The mill is located.
Houston is nursed back to health
by Ba'tiste Renaud, an eccentric
but whole-hearted French-C Canadian
who became trapper following the
tragedies of his sons death in
France and the unsolved murder of
his wife. In Ba'tiste's cabin Houston
meets Madame Robinette, a girl of
twenty who owns adjoining timber
land. Ba'tiste agrees to assist Hous-
ton and they decide to investigate a
mysterious telegram which caused
Houston's trip from Boston.

hastily Houston crawled over the
railing, and motioning to Ba'tistse,
led him away from the station.
The giant traced out the words.
He looked up sharply.

"Yes. 1t must mean that Thayer's

"Oui-yes. But has he? What

They parted, Ba'tiste to lounge
back into the tiny town, Houston to
take the winding road which led
back to the cabin.
He glanced ahead and noticed the
trim figure of Mcdaine Robinette
swinging along the road, old Lost

closer and called. But if she heard
hi, she gave no indication. Instead,
she turned--sWiftly, Houston thought
and mounted her horse. A moment
later, she trotted past him, and again
he greeted her, to be answered by a
nod and a slight movement Of the
lips. But the eyes had been averted.

Barry could see that the thinnest
veneer of politenesss had shielded
something else as she spoke to him
an expression of distance,of dislike,
almost loathing.
1t was thus that old friends had
passed him by in Boston; it was thus
that men who had been glad to bor-
