"Wrote that all by myself" ex-

quickly thickening throng of admirers.
"Aain't bad for an old gal, eh?"
Among the many who paused to
read was stocky, beaverlike man
whose eyes recently had borne the
shadows of deep worry. All had not
gone well for Mckenzie Joe during
these last few months. He had been
forced to watch a tremendous change
engulf the young man whom he long
ago had come to regard with an over
towering affection.
But Mckenzie Joe had been diplo-
matte. He was doing more in that di-
rection now than ever before. At least
he kept his mouth tight when every
atom of bis supremely honest nature
shouted to him to have a showdown
and proclaim that he was tired of
being dealt cards from the stacked
deck. Something was wrong; he felt
sure of it. His distrust of Kay Joyce
and Bruce Kenning amounted almost
to mania.
Not that Joe blamed Jack for be-
ing blind. 1t was a wholly natural
condition; the North makes a man
