SYNOPSIS

Kerry Young, a lad of seven, is
prepared to flee the burning lumber
camp of his benefactor, Jack Snow,
who took the youngster to live with
him at the death of Kerry's mother.
Tod West has instructed Kerry to
come with a file containing the camps
funds should it be endangered.
Flames attack the office, and Kerry,
hugging the precious file, and Tod
race to town. Tod acts queerly. At
the bank the file is found empty and
Kerry is blamed with taking the
wrong one. Snow, his headquarters
and money gone, is ruined, and soon
thereafter dies, leaving Kerry to the
Poor Commissioner. Kerry suspects
Tod and swears to even the score.
In st. Paul Office Kerry, now in
manhood, and an expert woodsman,
learns of the whereabouts of West.
Kerry rescues a lovely girl from a
scoundrel, who proves to be West.
Tod threatens to pauperiZe the girl,
Nan Downer. She thanks Kerry and
tells him of the robbery, and murder
of her father and of Tod's advances.
She is operating a lumber tract which
her father had purchased from West.
Kerry makes camp. At the general
store in Vests Landing, he finds
Tod engaged in a poker game. Jim
Hinkle, timber employee, loses heav-
lily. Kerry exposes Tod's cheating
and disarms him. The crowd is un-
convinced of Tod's duplicity. Kerry
identifies himself to West, who de-
nies knowing him.

know that. You've got to know
it. That is, if you're going to con-
slider my proposal,
You see, Downer was a queer
old duffer. Salt of the earth, but
queer; eccentric. 1t was one of his
eccentricities that led to his MUIR
der. He never would deal with a
man except for cash. Kept bank
account and all, but when he did
business checks didn't go.
"He had this payment due TO
West last November. The fifteenth,
it was. The day before he drove
into town and drew the money
from the bank, started home about
dusk and was killed not three miles
from here by bullet in the brain.
The money, in one Of these tin
boxes, was taken out of his car.
1t amounted to over twelve thou
sand dollars.
You see, I'm coroner here. |
started an investigation and the
sheriff, he fused some.
1.-TWO men, only, that we knew
of, had the slightest motive. One
was Jim Hinkle, whose money you
got back for him tonight. He'd
been working for Cash, had been
fired the day before and fired with
gusto, which was Downer's way.
But he was playing cribbage with
Tod West all that evening and
stayed in Vests house all night,
his family being away. So with
West being what he's thought to
be-" drily - 'Hinkle was counted
out.
"West wac quite active in this
thing. He wanted his money and
Nan, Downer's only heir, didn't
have more to pay him. He. dug up
the information that Holt Stuart
had had a run-in with Cash early
in the week. Holt was working for
Cash. Well. it seems that Hollis
pretty we'll struck with Nan. He's
a good boy, but Cash was a cantan-
kerous old cuss and he rode the
boy pretty hard because of where
he'd let his interests stray. AS
a sort of punishment, he'd sent
Holt out to a cabin on Townline
lake to do some mapping and made
MIN stay there all alone.
1.-THE sheriff, after West got
through with him, was convinced
Holt was his man and started right
in to work up a case against him.
But l stopped that. A coroner.
you know, s got it all over a sher-
iff for authority. l drove out and
found the boy with an ankle so
badly sprained that he couldn't pos
sibly've been out.
-"Well, we impaneled coroner's
jury and l. got the bullet out of
Cash but we had so little to go on

CHAPTER IV-Continued

He hitched at his belt with a
frankly staggering gesture.
After all these years, the job
was done quickly; in mere hours.
And now l can be on my
way"
He turned on his heel and made
slowly for the door.
A buzzing murmur filled the
room. Eyes were on Kerry, on
Tod West, standing there with
much seething in him. He had a
role to play, this West. He had a
reputation at stake, loyalties to
consider perhaps things to
fear. His place in the country was
in the balance, he knew. But the
charge of cheating at cards was too
incredible in the minds of these
other men to be of more than pass
ing consequence If he played his
role properly, as respected lead
er should.
He found his voice at last.
Hold up there, you'll" Kerry was
at the threshold.
He turned, smiling that bitter
smile.
you're a rat!" West said again
heavily. You're damned
rat! What's the idea, tryin' to
make me out a crook? Black
mail?
II never seen or heard Of you
And I've only this to say, after
callin' you a rat. Just this: you'd

a temple slowly.
That's tough on me, Tod West"
he said. "Tm through, here.
stumbled on the thing l wanted to
know for years. And I'd like to
be gone, being the roaming kind.
But if there's one thing Pm more
afraid of than taking root, it's
being driven. Tod West!" He
began to laugh. $50 I've got to
stay! I've got to light a while ~
He went out into the darkness
and his deep laughter flOated back
to them. A fierce exultation racked
him and he did not look about; did
not see Nan Downer standing there
in the edge of the light shaft from
a window, one hand across her
breast.

CHAPTER v

a T ABOUT the time Kerry
\ Young was finishing his eve
ming meal, Dan Downer and Ezra
Adams, short, squat, gray-haired
logging-cOuntry doctor who had
driven out from Shoestring, the
county seat, walked slowly across
the trestle from Mans headquar-
ters to Vests Landing.
The old man listened attentively
and unconsciously slowed his pace
as the girls story progressed to-
ward its climax. Her voice, though
low, was quick and tense, and once
it caught in a sob.
