1t may have been the fiber of Puritan

to fight to the end, that gave him his
strength. But he did not know how

street.

months after Kitty's departure. His

father standing beside him, with that

saw. too, that, having lost, she had
lost forever. She might win Wilton
yet, but never In that way.
Now she would go TO any lengths
to Dust Molly. Molly had never writ
ten to her since her departure. and she
did not even know IL her scheme had
succeeded In ~estranging her from vii
ton. But she inferred success from
Wilton's bearing. He had not looked
like a successful lover.
Bitterly she reflected on her mar
rage with Joe. She had never loved
Joe. but neither had she hated him.
She had loved Wilton. and. bound by

Everything had seemed possible. And
Wilton had engaged himself TO an

When, therefore, late on the day ar

how Wilton had succeeded. Big
huskeg was conquered, and on the east
shore the vanguard Of the line was
driving the cleared way forward and
pegglng out the way for the metals.
Soon grading would begin. Wilton's
camp would shrink, and the engines
would be moved ahead, and-he would
have time to think.
He dreaded that. He had not seen
Molly or the factor since that night
OF the subsistence. He knew that
Bowyer had paid more than one visit
to the store, but he shrugged his
shoulders and put II out OF his mind.
The workmen, after their months
of arduous labor, had begun to grow
slack. There was r~estiveness in the
camp. Once or twice Wilton bad Seen

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 vas opportune. Wilton had
already determined to put into execu-
tlon a plan that he had formed. II
was now October, and little more than
two months remained before the loan
would be called. That would give
-
Bowyer the control OF the Missatlbi.

he was working for Bower. Wilton
had resolved to 90 TO Clayton us soon
