 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER xL1I
 Asper Delo fumed and fused around camp. He could not leave and he could not get in touch with Swergin. The timber boss had completely, and Dudley was of on a jaunt into the hills. Dona could not be trusted to stay in bed where she belonged without eomeone around to make her re- member the doctors orders. The d octor had promised her she could sit up the next day on the porch. Dona was certain they were just being extra nice to her. When she had been q long-legged kid she bad been thrown from every horse in camp and had never gone to bed.
 Asper tramped down to the cor fals to be met by the grinnlng as- sfstant corral boy. Where's Mall I0y?" he demanded.
 Been gone quite a while." the boy answered.
 "when is he coming back, if eyer?" Aspcr rumbled..
 The boy fiecked horse1y off a poEt before he answered. "I dunno" he gaid. "Malloy ain't the confldin' kind"
 Asper grunted angrily and faced up the hill again. If Dudley would only come in he could ride out and look around bit. Swergin, more than likely, had gotten himself plugged by Ball---he was about that much good as a man hunter.
 Up at the office building Asper sat down to wait as calmly as he could. Dona awoke and called to him. His smile as he entered heI room was forced but 1t passed un. Hoticed by his daughter.
 Dad, must talk to you about this lumber business Dona greeted him.
 Asper chucked her under the chin. Remember that we talk nc business until tomorrow, that's final, young lady. When you are sit ting out on teh porch all popped ur you can tell me what to do with Three Rivers"
 Dona moved impatiently. "This 1: important, Dad--it won't walt"
 Aspcr playfully clapped a bis hand over his daughters mouth "Your health comes first. Do yot want me to run out of the room? 2
 Dona realized that the doctor had impressed her father witt the importance of keeping all seri Ous matters in the Background. She leaned back and smiled. One da! would not make 50 much difference Gffe thought.
 T wish you would get the car bine I carried on my saddle" sh' smiled changing the subject ab 1r,ntlv
