light did not answer in the least de-
gree the picture he had carried of
Linda.
He remembered her as q blond
headed little girl with irregular fea-
lures and a rather unreasonable al
lowance of LONELINESS. All the way
he had thought of her as a baby sis
ter-not as a woman in her flower.
For a long second he gazed at her in
speech!ess amazement.
Her hair was no longer blond.
True, it had peculiar red lights when
the freight shone through it; but he
knew by the light of day it would be
deep brown. He remembered her as
an awkward little thing that was
hardly able to keep her feet under
her. This tall girl had the wilderness
grace-which is the grace of a deer
and only blind eyes cannot see it. He
dimly knew that she wore a khaki
cOlOred skirt and simple blouse Of
white tied with a blue scarf. Her
arms were bare in the fires gleam
And there was dark beauty about
her face that simply could not be
denied.
She came toward him, and her
hands were open before her. And her
lips trembled. Bruce could see them
in the freight.
1t was a strange meeting. The fire.
light gave it a tone of unreality, and
the whole forest world seemed to
pause in it's whispered business as if
to watch. 1t was as.if they had been
brought face TO face by the mandates
of an inexorable destiny.
$50 you've Gomez" the girl said.
The words were spoken unusually
soft, scarcely above a whisper; but
they were inexpressibly vivid to
Bruce. They told first of boundless
relief and joy at his coming. But
more than that, in these deep vibrant
tones was the expression of an un-
quenchable life and spirit. Every
fiber of the body lived in the fullest
sense; he knew this fact the instant
that she spoke.
She smiled at him, ever so quietly.
"BwOvaboo," she said, recalling the
name by which she called him in her
babyhood, you've come to Linda

fuel except when one of the men
tried to please me by cutting it for
me. / wouldn't use it at first. Oh,
Bruce wouldn't touch it !"
Her face was no longer lovely. 1t
was drawn with terrible passions.
But she quieted at once.
"At last l saw plainly that was a
little fool-that all they would do for
me, the better off | was. At first, l
almost starved to deatfr because |

me. / tried to grub it out of the hills.
But l came to it at last. But, Bruce,
there were many things / didn't come
to. Since / learned the truth, / have
| never given one of them a smile ex-
cept in scorn, not a word that wasn't t
word of hate.
''You are a city man, Bruce You
don't know what hate means. 1t

up here. Believe me, if you ever be
lieved anything-that it lives up here.
The most bitter and the blacklist hate
from birth until death! 1t burns
out the heart, Bruce. But l don't
i know that l can make you under
stand"
She paused, and Bruce looked away
into the pine forest He believed the
girl. He knew that this grim land
was the home of direct and primitive
emotions. Such things as mercy and
remorse were out of place in the
game trails where the wolf pack
hunted the deer
"When they knew how | hated
them," she went on, "they began to
watch me. And once they knew that
had fully understood the situation,
| was no longer allowed to leave this
little valley. There are only two
trails, Bruce. One goes to Elmira s
cabin on the way to the store The
other encircles the mountain With
all their numbers, it was easy to keep

me what they would do if they found
me trying to go past"
you don't mean-they threatened
you?"
She threw back her head and
laughed, but the sound had no joy in
it. Threatened! If you think
threats are common up here, you are
greener tenderfOOt than ever I took
you for. Bruce, the law up here is
the law of force. The strongest wins.
The weakest dies. Wait till you see
aelmon. You'll understand then-and
you'll shake in your Shoes"
The words grated upon him, yet he
didn't resent them. 1--WE seen ST.

She glanced toward him quickly,
and it was entirely plain that the

admiration came into her eyes.
He tried to, stop you, did he? OF
course he would. And you came, any
way. May heaven bless you for it.
Brucer She leaned toward him, ap-
pealing. "And forgive me what /
said"
Bruce stared at her in amazement.
He could hardly realize that this was
the same voice that had been so torn
with passion moment before. In, an
instant all her hardness was gone
and the tenderness of a sweet and
wholesome nature had taken it's place.
He felt curious warmth stealing
over him.
"They meant what they said, Bruce.

other thing, they can keep their word.

only-and that it was fair war to kill
the Rosses. Although my father knew
their real aim was to obtain the land
he didn't think they would dare kill
Matthew FOlger to get it. He knew
that he himself would fall, sooner or
later, but he thought that to kill Fol-
ger would show their cards-and that
would be too much, even for Simon's
people. But he didn't know. He
hadn't foreseen to what lengths they
would 60"
Bruce leaned forward. $50 they
killed-Matthew Folger?' he asked.
He didn't know that his face had
gone suddenly stark white, and that
curious glitter had come to his eyes.
He spoke breathlessly. For the name
Matthew FOlger-called up vague
memories that seemed to reveal great
truths to him. The girl smiled grimly.
Let me go on. My father decided
Folger the land. The deed was to
go on record so that all the world
would know that Folger owned 1t, and
If the clan killed him it was plainly
for the purposes of greed alone. But
there was also a secret agreement
drawn up in black and white and to
be kept hidden for twenty-one years
In this agreement, Folger promised to
return to me-the only living heir of
the Rosses-the lands acquired by the
deed. In reality, he was only holding
them in trust for me, and was to re-
turn them when l was twenty-one.
In case of my fathers death, Folger
was to be my guardian until that time.
"Folger knew the risk he ran. but
he was a brave man and he did NOT
care. Resides, he was my fathers
friend-and friendship goes far in the
mountains. And my father was shot
down before week was past.
The clan had acted quick, you see.
When Folger heard of it, before the
dawn, he came to my fathers house
and carried me away. Before another
night was done he was killed too"
The perspiratiOn leaped out on
Bruce's forehead. The red glow of
the fire was in his eyes.
He fell almost where this fire is
built. with thirty-thirty bullet in his
brain. Which one of the clan killed

time only eighteen years of age. And

CHAPTER TX

AS the fire burned down to Goals
and the stars wheeled through the
sky, Linda told her story. The two
of them were seated in the soft grass
in front of the cabin, and the moon
light was on Linda'S face as she
talked. She talked very low at first.
Indeed there was no need for loud
tones. The whole wilderness world
was heavy with silence, and q whis-
per carried far. Besides, Bruce was
just beside her, watching her with
narrowed eyes, forgetful of every
thing except her story.
"Tve waited long time to tell you
this" she told him. ''Of course, when
we were babies together in the or

FRELINeHUysEN TO THE WORKER

True to his slogan adopted at the beginning of the cam
paign, Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen is putting his can
didacy squarely up to the people that they may decide
whether they want him as their representative in the upper
house of congress for another six years. The senator is not
Sinking his responsibilities at Washington in order to carry
on his campaign for denomination, but has depended on a
few statements which he has issued setting forth his posi-
ton at various times. In these statements there has been
no %quibbling. He stands four square on the various ques-
tions that are before the people and it is for them to accept
or reject him, as they see fit.
There is nothing indefinite about the letter that Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen has just issued to the working men OF
New Jersey. Whether one agrees entirely with the senator
or not, on must admire his frankness and candor. He is fer
more open and sincere than his opponent, George l.. Record,
who is appealing to prejudice and class hatred, playing the
role of a demagogue and holding out hope for a Utopia that
can never be realized.
One cannot always agree with the senator. Everybody
does not think alike. The senator is a man of intelligence
and ability and naturally must think for himself. The things
that suit some are just the things that do not suit others.
Naturally. the senator must use his own best judgment. This
we believe he has done, and in all his acts he has had the
best interests of the country and his constituents in view.
He has been faithful and conscientious to his trust. View
ing the senatorial situation as a whole, the reasons for re-
turning Mr.. Frelinghuysen to the senate for another term so
far out the reasons for opposing him that there
ought to be no hesitancy in voting for his denomination and
election this fall.

"THE OLD BUS"

The present boom in the auto industry means employ
ment for 2,25O,OOO people, says Alfred Reeves, general man.
ager of National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
His estimate includes-in addition to the zoe, 900 men
working in auto factories-hundreds Of thousands of profess
sional chauffeurs and drivers and garage employees, 100000
accessory factory workers, 10000 tire dealers and statesmen
and thousands more in allied retail trades.
Workers in many other industries also get jobs Hy the
auto boom. For instance, the making of passenger autos and
motor trucks uses up % per cent of the countrys production
of aluminium, about the same of tin, 80 per cent. of plate glass.
16 per cent. of copper, much coal, iron, steel, varnish, oil and
other products.
Then railroad men get work, hauling the cars to buyers.
This chain system, by which the auto industry is keeping
2,250,O00 people busy, is rather amazing when you consider
that the total number ''gainfully employed in the United
States is less than ~42,000,000.
1t means that che person in each 10 is dependent for work
on the sale and use of autos.
How much is luxury, how much necessity, how much a
saver of labor and time and money?
Reeves figures that 100000 passenger autos and trucks
will be manufactured this year, and that 70 per cent Of them
will sell for 81, 1000 or less.
In the whole country there are about 10,500y 900 autos and
trucks. Including accessories and spare tires and garages and
so on, at least $1O,OOO DOC, 900 is tied up in autos.
You 60 to the neighborhood movie at night and, parked
nearby, see cars representing an investment almost stagger-
ing in its size.
Americans investment in autos is easily half as big as
the entire national debt. That is material for a very hot half
hours discussion. DO you think it is too much, just right or
not enough?
For each $40 invested in autos, SIT is in savings banks.

THAT CROSSING AT MORGAN

There is not a grade crossing in the state that is in more
need If attention than the crossing at Morgan. Senator Lar
son. by bringing the matter to the attention of the State
Highway Commissio is rendering a valuable public SER
vice and it is altogether commendable on the part of the
highway commissioners that they so quickly see the reason
ableness of the senator's arguments in favor of some remedy
The Morgan crossing would be bad enough as a death
trap, being under a hill and at a curve so that the railroad
track, in one direction at least, is entirely concealed, but
when one considers the tremendous traffic over this cross
ing, especially every weekend, the necessity for relief can
mot be ignored. Not only is there a constant stream of
automobiles, but the trains are run so close together and
with such speed that the safety gates that are now provided
are hardly up before they are lowered again. The result is
the worst kind. of congestion. 1t is to be hoped something
will be done to relieve the situation before another summer
