She turned To series OF large
maps hanging from the wall, green's
and reds and blues splashing the
surfaces to indicate the various
types of growth which cloaked the
descriptions, with figures showing
the size and densities of stands,
with streams and lakes set down
in detail.
"You see,' she explained, "these
prospects of ours are the sort who
will want to know, down to the last
detail, what we're offering in ex-
change for their money. Could you
do just this sort of thing as we'll as
these jobs have been done?"
Young stepped closer to the maps,
studying them lengthy interval.
Il CAM he said finally.
Nan hesitated.
'Of course, we can't pay you
what you might get some other
place. We're up against it, as you
already know"
She was obviously embarrassed,
but Kerry said quickly: Don't
worry about that. I'd figure, Miss
Downer, that it'd be rare priv
lege working for you. When do we
start?''
II can't talk that detail with you
now, because Holt is out on the
job. We've worked such things out
together since my father died. He'll
be back this evening. Will you
come up them"
He would, he said, and started
out of the office. Tip stood outside

going quickly ahead of Young.
opening the door and kneeling on
the step. The retriever inspected
her with eyes and nose, and at first
bore himself with perfect indif-
ference, being, as he was, a one
man beast. But when her small
hand came to rest on the broad
crown of his head, and her gentle
voice told him what handsome
fellow he was why, then the
tail commenced to waggle a bit,
and his eyes rolled, and his pink
tongue lolled a little, and he pant
ed with that satisfaction which
comes to any male with sufficient
fattery!
'.He likes me!' the girl laughed
happily.
"Why shouldn't he?" Young
asked with all sobriety. ''That dogs
got sense!' Then he laughed at
her discontinue.
He started back toward his camp
and had gone halfway from Mans
headquarters to the mill when he
saw a man running along the rail

his will, all his heart and con-
seriousness into a final downward
stroke. His reaching hand touched
something soft; his fingers en-
twined there. It was cloth The
current bore at him; his grip on
the fabric held.
He dragged himself against the
current, Juggling at that garment,
battling to dislodge it. His head
buzzed; a quick nausea spread
through his vitals. He felt that
this was his last instant Of con-
seriousness. His tortured lungs ex-
banded, and water gushed into his
throat. He wrenched nightly with
the one hand, as new, an inner
darkness, engulfed him, and then
gave up yielded, let his lungs
have their way, and was shocked
| to find himself breathing sweet air.
He was on the surface, barely
able to float, but he was not alone.
In the crook of his arm was limp,
light body!
Upstream he heard screams and
shouts. None had noticed that he
came up with a burden. He drew
the child's head to the surface, got
a hand beneath her chin, and
kicked feebly.
He tried to shout for help, but
his voice was only gurgle. He
redoubled his efforts, but his
strength was spent. And then
whine in his ear, and hot breath
on his cheek, and Tip was there
at his side.
"Good-" he gasped. "Hie!"
| He fastened fingers in the mat of
stiff curly hair; the dog angled
across the current towing his
master; Young's floundering feet
touched bottom, and he reeled to
the bank.
He dropped to his knees beside
a log. He threw the little girl face
down across it. He hooked finger
in the mouth, prying open the set
Jaws, flattening the tongue, and
bore his weight down on her back.
Water gushed from the mouth.
Again he drove water from the
small lungs, and again, while
strength poured back into his own
body.
Others were coming now; help
was on the way A man was almost
to him; more streamed behind. But
there was a job to do, and he knew
how to do it, the task that would
give strength to this last and per-
haps waning hope
Roughly he lifted the small body,
with arms and legs so pitifully life
less, and stretched it on the log,
head lower than the feet. He
jerked one of the child's arms be-
meath her face, rolled her head to
one side, and straddling the log
placed his great palms across the
lower ribs and pressed firmly.
He held the lungs compressed an
instant and let the ribs spring out

A distracted woman burst through

He twisted his head doubtfully
and a sharp pang Of dismay ran his
heart.

And then Nan Downer was there,
standing just inside the circle OF
men. One hand was at her lips
and her eyes were dark with sus-
pense. He smiled assurance at her
as he worked.
A full hour had passed since he
carried her from the water. Now
and again Jim Hinkle looked at
Young, and his lips would twitch.
Others were talking lowly, moving
about, their tensity gone. Kerry
could see shrugs and heads shaken.
They had given up hope.

the storekeeper at the Landing,

mo, we won't quit"
He had just started the pres
sure, but relaxed it. He held his
hand on the small back and turned
his head, intently waiting for what
he had thought he felt to come
again.
Then it came again /. just the
whisper of a cough!
Careful, jim! Steady now" He
held the trembling father back with
one arm and began to chafe one
of the little girls wrists rapidly.
He beckoned Nan to him.
Get after the feet" he said qui-
city. "She's on her way"
Ten minutes later Kerry gave the
moaning child into her fathers
arms and stood beside Nan, watch
ing her carried tenderly away. The
look on the mothers face, the vast
relief and thanksgiving which
showed in the very set Of Jim's
shoulders, touched things within
Young.
A breed had turned to join the
ragged procession moving up the
| bank.
who's the Injun?'' he asked the
girl, eyes following the great frame
Of the man, strength Of which could
not be concealed by the cotton shirt
and faded overalls and moccasins.
"His name is Bluejay !. Frank
Bluejay," she answered; and then,
as If pointedly: "Why?"
He shrugged. "He was spying
on me from across the river this
morning."
A slight gasp escaped her.
"Bluejay too! He's a bad citi-
zen," she whispered. Everyone dis
trusts him except Tod West. He
works for him, when he works"
A hard smile came into Young's
eyes and he nodded.
"When he works, eh?" he asked.
They parted then, Nan going to-
ward the mill, Young mounting the
trestle abutment slowly.
eli, Bluejayw he hailed.
The breed turned, standing on
the ties.
"What you want?" he asked,
with the accent of his race, and
his look was clearly belligerent
one.
Young did not answer until he
had covered the distance between
them. When, at arm s-length, Kerry
stopped, he said quietly:
II want to know this: why were
you watching me from cover this
morning? And when I've found that
out, I'm going to ask you why you
were fighting me under water down
there?"
who's askin' that?" Bluejay
asked. ''You? Huh! I tell you;

slowly, head thrust forward. II

added that he believed the bus was
travelling between so and 10 miles
an hour, when the limit for bus
speed has been set at As miles per
hour.
Coroner John T. Monzani. In his
finding released November Is, found
no failure OF human agencies and
attributed the crash TO an "ab-
normal condition" In the road. He
estimated the speed Of the bus at
the time Of the crash as IS miles
per hour, In direct conflict with the
utilities finding. When releasing his
finding he stated he expected criti-
cism due TO the divergent testimony
as given by the passengers.
Perusal Of Testimony
The review Of the testimony, as
conducted by the States Attorneys
office simply consisted Of a parusal
Of the transcript Of witnesses opin-
ions, and the consultation Of maps,
pictures and other material rele-
want to the case. States Attorney
Saates Attorney william B. Fitz-
Lewis was assisted by Assistant
gerald and County Detective Roland
@. Alling. The testimony consisted
OF a 306 page volume which will be
filed with the clerk Of the superior
court. The pictures and maps will
be returned TO the coroner's office.
Statement Of Lewis
States Attorney Lewis statement
was:
The State Attorneys office care
fully reviewed all the evidence re-
lating to the tragic and fatal acci-
dent In which q public conveyance
was involved and which occurred
on September IL, 1886, on the high
way between Cheshire and Water
bury, because 1t seemed that the
public interest clearly required SUCH
q review.
The examination Of all the evi-
dence having been finished 1t Is
clear that It furnishes no founda-
ton for the institution OF any Grim
inal prosecution.
Lawrence L. Lewis,
States Attorney.
Comment No Further
When asked TO elaborate on the
subject, States Attorney Lewis re-
fused, stating that he had Satisfied
himself and there was no grounds
for criminal prosecution. and that
was his main objective and duty.
Todays statement by Mr.. Lewis
will probably be the grand finale
OF the case which has leaped into
prominence again and again. what
with findings by the public utilities
commission, Coroner Monzani. and
finally the announcement OF the
review by the States Attorney.

generally agreed that young blood

Representative Hickey sounded
the call for new, ILLEGAL republi-

Just before the house adjourned for

tempore he established q precedent
by directing remarks from his pre-
siding seat. He directed his re-
marks TO those who will sit in the

republicans to be reactionary be-

Roosevelt landslide that swept many
republican state ONCE holders out

as the logical liberal leaders Of the

Just as the democratic party did
