on Sandy Bourke. The protection Of
Capital was powerful.
He came out licking his lips nervous
ly, with swift survey that took In the
setting of the stage prepared for his
entrance. His eyes, shifting from the
big machine, as II drawn by something
beyond his will, focused on the figure
of Sandy, easy but sinister In its capae-
ity to avoid all melodrama. Halfway
between door aud car he halted.
"Plimsol?" said the stranger. II am
Keith"
The light was perceptibly changing.
Faces of men came out of the shadows,
pale but visible. In the east the sky
showed gray behind the dark purple
crests between which mists were trail
ing.
''Plimsoll," said Sandy. "That peak
oveh on Sawtooth range Is goin' to
catch the light first III call 1t sunup
when the sun looks oven the mesa"
Plimsoll barred his teeth In a fox
grin. Sandy stood with his hands by
his sides, covering him with his eyes.
Pllmsoll looked at the hands that he
knew could move swifter than he could
follow, he looked at the car with Keith
gazing from him to Sandy, he sensed
the waiting strain Of all the men, walt
ing to see Sandy shoot-if he did not
go, to see him crumple up In the dust,

tooth and his face grayed as the gran
lite suddenly flushed with rose. His
will melted, he turned and went inside
his cabin. No one followed him, there
was no one inside to greet him. His
heart was filed with helpless rage,
conferred against Sandy Bourke. He
knew the camp was against him, con-
sldering him outbluffed or outmatched.
His horse, ready saddled, bad been at
the door since midnight. He mounted,
dug spurs into the beasts TANKS and
went galloping madly up the slope that
rose from the street gulch leading
down to the main gulch of Flivver
creek. His plans for wealth had been
blocked by man he dared not face.
Before Sandy Bourke his spirit flinched
as leaf shrinks and curls from flame.

wired. me the news of the general
strike, the prospect of development

have blocked the deal. However,
suppose Plimsoll can be located later.
Have you any idea where he might be

said Sandy. "Pllmsoll didn't own those

The stranger had managed to muffle
down his chagrin and resentment at
the outcome Of his trip, Keith was an
adept at adapting himself to his en-
vironment.
SORRY to have upset things TO you,"
went on Sandy. but this was per-
