trace 1t If you did and maybe spoil the
evening for Bruce"
Strong arms sawed at the bits, and
the horse quieted, trembling. For a
moment Bruce saw their white moon
lit faces us they stared down at him.
"What about gag?" one Of the
men asked.

Is no one to hear him here"
Then the tall men swung on their
horses and headed back across the
fields. Bruce watched them duly.
Their forms grew constantly more dim,
the sense of utter isolation increased.
Then he saw the file pause, and 1t
seemed to him that words, too faint
for him to understand, reached him
across the moonlit spaces. Then one
Of the party turned of toward the
ridge.
He guessed that it was Simon. He
thought the man was riding toward
Linda's home.
He watched until the shadows had
hidden them all. Then, straining up
ward, he tested his bonds. He tugged
with the full strength Of his arms. but
there was not the play Of an inch be-
tween his wrists. The Turner's had
done their work well. Not the slight
est chance of escape lay In this quar-
ter.
He wrenched himself to one side,
then looked about him. The fields
stretched even and distant on one side,
but he saw that the dark forest was
but fifty yards away on the other. He
listened; and the little night sounds
reached him clearly. They had been
sounds to rejoice in befOre-impulses
to delightful fancies Of fawn steal
ing through the thickets, or some OF
the Little People in their scurrled,
tremulous business of the night hours.
But lying helpless ut the edge Of the
forest, they were nothing to rejoice
In now. He tried to shut his ears to
them.
He rolled again to his back and
tried to find peace for his spirit in the
stars. There were millions of them.
They were larger and more bright
than any time he had ever seen them.
They stood In their high places, wholly
Indifferent and impassive to all the
strife and confusion Of the world be-

could partake Of their spirit enough so

"If Simon Turner isn't a coward"
Bruce said slowly to the clan, "he will
give me chance to fight him now."
The room was wholly silent, and the
clan turned expectant eyes to tnef.

he had to make answer. His eyes
crept over Bruces powerful body.
'"There Is no obligation on my part to

said. "YOu are prisoner. But II you

ened knockles straight for the leering
lips. He made the attack with aston
fishing swiftness and power, and his
Intention was to deliver nt least one
terrific blow before Simon could get
his arms up to defend himself. He
had given the huge clan leader credit
for tremendous physical strength, but
he didn't think that the heavy body
could move with real agility. But the
great muscles seemed to snap into
tension, the head ducked to one side,
and his own rrise sists struck out.
II Bruce's blow had gone straight
home where 1t had been aimed, Simon
would have had nothing more to say
for few moments at least. The leap
had been powerful and swift vet Who'll
ly inaccurate. And the reason was
lust that his wrists and ankles had
been numbed by the tight thongs by
which they had been confined. Simon
met the leap with short, powerful
blow into Brute's face; and he reeled
backward. The arms Of the clansmen
alone kept him from falling.
The blow seemed to daze Bruce; and
at first his only realization was that
the room suddenly rang with harsh
and grating laughter. Then Simon's
words broke through 1t. "Put back
the thongs" he ordered. land go get
your horses"
Bruce was dimly aware Of the fall

strong men half carrying him to the
door. But he couldn't see plainly at
first. He knew that the clan had
brought their horses and were waiting
for Simon's command. They loosened
the ropes from about his ankles, and
two Of the clnnsmen swung him on to
the back Of horse. Then they passed

self, bowed in his saddle, kept little
to one side. Their shadows were long
and grotesque on the soft grass of the
meadows, and the only sound was the
soft football of their mounts.
A full mile distant across the lush
fields the cavalcade halted about a
grotesque shadow in the grass. Bruce
didn't have to look at 1t twice to know
what it was: the half-devoured body
of the yearling calf that had been the
Killers prey the night before. From
thence on, their operations became us
outlandish occurrences in dream.
They seemed to know Just what to do.
They took him from the saddle and
bound his feet again, then laid him in
the fragrant grass. They searched his
pockets, taking the forged note that
had led to his downfall. ut saves me

Simon laughed softly. "You'd bet

Yes, Linda knew. "Do you mean
Bruce?" she asked. II let Dave in
tonight on the same pretext. Don't
expect me to be caught twice by the
same lie."
Dave? Where is Dave?" The fact
was that the whereabouts of his BROTH
er had suddenly become considerable
of mystery to Simon. He had
thought about him and Linda out in
the darkness together, and his heart
had seemed to smolder and burn with
jealousy in his breast. 1t had been a
great relief to him to find her in
the house.
II wonder-where he Is by now,"
Linda answered in strange voice.

The words stung him. but he smiled
grimly into her face.
"I've come in pence. Linda" he said
gently. 1--WE come to give you last
chance to make friends"
He walked past her into the room.
He Strengthened the chair that had
been upset, smiling strangely the
while. and sat down In 1t.
"Then tell me what you have to tell
me-" she said. "I'm in a hurry to go
to bed-and this really isn't the hour
for calls"
He looked long time into her face.
She found 1t hard to hold her own
gaze. Many things could be doubted
about this man. but his power and his
courage were not among them. The
smile died from his lips, the lines
deepened on his face. She realized us
never before the tempestuous passions
and unfathomable intensity Of his na-
ture.
"We've never been good friends -
Simon went on slowly.

"At first, my efforts to make friends

the possession Of the lands. You know
what they are. You've always known
that any time you wished-you

She nodded. She knew that she had

somber love Of this mighty man. She
had known 1t for months.

New York, Aug. oO-(By A. P)-
While the past week has brought lit
tie real news of a conservative ma
ture, hopes for a speedy settlement
Of existing labor controversies have
mounted higher and the country's
leading markets have shown an I'M
dcItone of quiet strength. Hesitancy
which was in the asccndancy as the
week opened vanished as reassuring
notes were struck from several quar-
ters.
Failure Of France and England TO
come to an agreement on the Ger
man reparation question and the con-
sequent break up of the London con-
ference has an adverse effect here.
Some anxiety was also occasioned by
delay in announcing an agreement
for settling the coal strike, which
had been expected hourly in the clos
ing days of last week. Fear that
other railroad brotherhoods might
join the shopmen's strike was another
cause for alarm.
More favorable industrial news
turned sentiment into more optimistic
channels, however. More hopeful
news from abroad and a favorable
cotton consumption report also had a
stimulating effect.

MilliOnaire's Son
Fails from Boat S
Deck to His Death

fOil JCnCI5On, y. y, Aug. Co
Search in power launches and a

body Of Donald NJ. phipps, Yale
graduate and son of A. j. Phipps, a
millionaire lumber merchant OF
Florence Park, who was swept into
Long Island sound last night from
the bow of speed boat off here and
drowned
With Phipps in his speed boat
when the accident occurred, was
William Lyons of East Hampton, his
roommate at Yale. who had been his
guest at Florence Park during the
past week. The two young men set
out for East Hampton in the early
evening.
They were making nearly 80 Knots
an hour when brass top for the
mole containing the anchor chain
LEV off and rolled astern.
Phipps turned the wheel over to
Lyons, who knew little about the
running of the launch, and climbed
over the boat rail to retrieve the top.
In attempting to get back he slipped
and fell into the water
Lyons was unable to turn about
in the heavy seas. Phipps shouted
instructions to his companion.
The last words from Phipps which
reached Lyons were instructions to
shut off the motor and turn the boat
around with oars carried for that
emergency. This Lyons finally sue
ceeded ir doing and rowed about for
more than an hour without seeing
Phipps. When darkness fell he was
forced to abandon the search and
row to Port jefferson.
Phipps served in the aviation corps

The operators were declared to be

held here.
