Mr. Kyle chuckled appreciatively. , "-tslever had thia ride UP ahortened .any more by Innocent and profitable talk in my life - and I've been lug - gin' in men for twenty years! You'll have to excuse me, now. I've got these ,FiJ1s to unload. All off at the next station I" He went through the car, shouting, cuffing, and shaking. It had been a long ride, and night had came on. Most of the convivial crew had long beforefallen asleep. Those who. were so far gone in stupor that a shake didnot stir them. Mr. Kyle lugged down the aisle to the door to be unloaded when the train stopped, He handled them as a steve- dore would handle bags of , grain When the station was reached, he tossed them off into the arms of the other men, and kicked their duffel , bags out after them.' The little hamlet was Skiticock, BO they told George. It was the junctien where the logging railroad to Correll.. cache tapped the country's main rail- road artery. The logging railroad operated only in the daytime. In- coming crews weie lodged free at the Great Trust Co.'s boarding house, Kyle 'informed the foreseer. Be fol- lowed the boss there. Warns Of hun- gry mosquitoes chasing him.. • "Forty ,goats for the rain pasture! Kyle notified the keeper of the board- ing house. lie was shoving men be- fore him in at the door. "tite'n a caliper chap for a room." George .got a look into "the 'rant pasture" when he passed down the corridor. It was a bare room, with field beds on the floor. Some of the men were lugged there and throw upon the beds to pleep It off, Mos of them were sufficiently awake t eat supper, in the dining room,. wit Its tin dishes, its bare benches an tables covered with on -cloth. Georg managed to eat there, too. And Ii was careful to get a seat us far away from Bill Kyle as possible. Tha gentleman' was getting on to hi nerves. That Mr. Kyle went promptly to sleep when they retired togethe In the one room available in th house, and snored continuouely and kept him awake did not seriously trouble George. Mr. Kyle's coffee grinder noises were preferable to his line of conversation. In the morning, they were sway early over the rough road, In a rough train, and with their rough crew. There was one 'battered oar for passengers. It had benches without backs, It played "snap -the -whip" at the end of a train made up of log carriers - skeleton cars, loosely shackled. George had bard work to edge him- self into the ear. It was packed to the doors. There had been important neW arrivals on the train that passed through Skiticock in tae early hours, of the morning. These were the two bands of music that Governor Han. ries had ordered. Their gay uniforms constrasted strangely with the rough clothes of the woodsmen. Governor Harries marshaled them pompously, and lavished much attention on a gen- tleman whom he Introduced as "Squire Thuilow, orator of this [solemn oc- casion, gents." Lastly, the master of ceremonies had careful eye out for . - a huge box that was set across one en* of the car, He consented finally to allow men to sit on it, but im- pressed on all that Cornelius Corran's thousand -dollar coffin was inside that boa and meet be respected accord- ingly. Toward a trunk that had been load- ed on board the car, Governor Har- ries did not display as much respect. He ordered it to be token off, "I'm running this 0c:custom and we need all the room," he said. "And who In the name of .the waineyed Horace is It that's carryin' a trunk into the woods, anyway? Trunks don't belong In the woods." "That's my trunk," stated George, "And I want it taken aloe; to -day." , He was thinking of the precipitate Niles and Smart, and realised that if he managed to catch up with them at Corran-cache they would not be In- clined towait another day for the trunk that contained his woods' equip- ment. He had a wordy battle with the governor, and prevailed Only be- cause the men who eat on the trunk had •anchored It, and did not want to 'give up their seats. ' When nee train started away, scores of men , were stradding the spreaders of the log cars at the risk of their necks. Another score clung to the roof of the passenger car. There seemed to be a general hen - tiering for • music in the crowd, and men Pleaded with the betide until ..they were hoarse. But the men with the instruments could not lift their elbows. Then, the little group on Cornelius Corral:in coffin decided to try their voices in old Dobeery's "Come All Ye." It was familiar enough, so that all joined the third, time It was sung, and it furnished melody for most of the trip, except For the intervals when the choristers refreshed theineelves o from their bottles. George had those words dinned Into his eare so .many times that he could neven.fordet them: ' Oh -h-, come all ye bean -fed larrIgan lads And listen unto me. I'll sing a sena to the, tune we tilitYed Ye With a CIOBS-OU e 011 It tree, When, we whooped along, a hundred With it beiteot down the mithileY A-dancin' wide and toatickla' high To the tune o' the gashin" fiddle. Slivers, and sawdust, and swagon • , Rip-fatiluddy. we're aorran's crew "You see, son," growled Kyle. in George's car, "they ain't forgettin' old Cornelius in this country. I cap see that you're a pretty good pussy -foot, and know how to keep your, mouth shut ats well, but you've got to play smoother than the big bosses up Montreal way realize, if you're goin to got away with any of the plunder that Cornelius left behind!' It was a persistency In ttn Insulting belief that stirred George, sick with sleepleseness, and harried by the din of voices in .that stifling pen, to curse him soulfully, "You'll do for what they want of you, I reckon," indorsed Mr. Kyle cor- dially, after. listening. "I can see, that you're hidM' quite a lot of Mb:esteem under a pretty smooth shell." The forester plunged Into the press, and forced his way apart from his tor- mentor; and the nien Wnose feet he trod upon, swore behind his stalwart back. . It was respite after agony when that sluggish serpent of a train worm- ed its way out of the Woods and jangled down into the broad, river valley where Corran-cache huddled in Its elearing. He burst out of the car among the early ones, struggling As one struggles to Come to the surface of tae water. He narrowly missed being flatten- ed by his own trunk. First of the n baggage, as though It contaminated t the ear, it came ,out of the side door o like a projectile. It was plain thee the man who threw It had the full ntrength of his convictions that s trunks did not belong in the woods. e It struck on one corner, and its :earns started with protesting squeal. t "Got a school ma'am on board?" s demanded the station agent of the crowd that came flocking out of the • car door, each man with his stuffed • mealsack on his ahonlder. The agent was patting the tunk. fri his sudden little panic of embarrassment, the forester hurried up the platform toward the station. It was relief to get away from those grinning faces, lie would claim his despised trunk When they had scettered. The agent up ended it, Jounced it along on' its corners in a few emphatic revolutions, and then started to drag It A sprink- ling trail of 'some black substance that Issued. from a broken corner marked its course. One eitzen who had early noticed that trunk to scoff at it was among the last to leave the car, his legs not being of the surest, that day, lie espied the trunk departing. Then, his eyes followed back along that black trail that ended at his feet. tie pick- ed up a pinch, eyed it, smelled at it. Being stilt in doubt, but mumbling 'ertain suspicions, be scratched a , hatch and dropped it upon a consider- tble deposit of the black, stuff that he trunk had shed at Its Impact on he platform. The experimenter's suspicions were ionfirmed. The black stuff 'flashed" with a vi - Mous hiss, and fire ran along the trail, "Powder!" yelled the man who had Panyineed himself. The station agent saw the chasing ieraent of the blaze lust In time to throw .himself over the edge of the platform and dock his head, There was a breathless instant, every eye In Kyle's crew on 'the trunk; and then am fateful piece of baggage exploded. 'Erupted" might be the better word. Never were the passenger's secrets If property el) instantly opened to the Following the muffled "beef!". o' the explosion, the air wasalive with belongings.

He rushed to her through the tress, his ancient hat' 111 nie crook If his, elbow, bowing to her as to a divinity. ' "I am 'In charoe, Mies Clare, and It shall be done righ.t and proper. I know how." But the divinity was not calmed. "Stop this drunkett noise, then.

Dirt 'hl not have hi a memory insulted here, to -day - and you were doing It, just now." She addressed them as men would; address men. She used the language and the tone that Dill. Kyle might have used. "It's the girl' of Cornelius Conan' that's talklin there, ali right," mum- bled the tall man at George's side. °It's ,many, a lesson he's given her in talkin' to mem". • . ' "1 see •your'e lookin' at tbem things," explained the governor, justi- fying himself and his friends, tier indignant eyes were clashing from embers of trunk to smoldering ap- parel on the wires. ,"Thout ain't an- tics, Miss Clare. It was accident, The dude's trunk" got blowed up." He pointed to the forester, who stood apart wtih certain poor salvage In his ,hands, He did not make a heroic spectacle, thus; but 'hen wothan's eyes recognized the 'badge ,of breeding in his stalwart manhood. 'Xis eyes met hers, her big, gray !Irish eyes that sparkled against the Iffush of her cheeks. He stepped for - Ward, for these eyes Summoned him. The spirit of command was in theta. ,There was something regal about her, 'sitting there among those cringing linen on her pawing horse. • He in- !stinctively recognized that quality as regal by waiting for her to speak to bins - wailing Just a fraction of time, and hardly realiaing that he !did•so - but he waited. , "There is mischief abroadhere, to - 'day, sir, I' am afraid.

"My father would have done so, if he Were alive. I represent my father, nir. He was proud of this village.' A istranger was his guest, This accident would not have happened except for the strange- conditions here to -day. Please see Mr. Wiggle." It was not the words, but the tone. She had ad - 'dressed him as though he were a *male]. • lie was angry, now, as well as aeharned With the instinct of race he realized that this upcountry girl did not understand the finer graces of !conventionality, Environment and 'training had made of her a woman of the ancient raee of the Cerransi she was speaking to hini as the chate- laine, not as maidee whom chance had thrown in his company. "Pardon me, Miss. Carron, but my accident concerns me alone. I beg that you will not trouble yourself further in the affair.' Re spoke stiffly, and she under- stood the rebuke. For the that time in her life, she realized the full' force of the social code, borne in upon h'er' by reiellite from a stranger and an equal. She had been too thoroughly isolated in her little soyeeeignty, and had forgotten. Shame, as vivid as his own, swept over her, and the flame in her cheeks revealed it. • "Harriss," she cried, Whirling on that terror-striken vassal, "I shall hold you and every man in hearing of my voice to account for the actions of this day. If you shame my father's memory, or disgrace his daughter, you shall suffer." She slashed the horse, and his calk- ed- hoofs, rained splinters from the 'platform planks as he galloped away. George started to make his way up the street in the dust that her horse left He was in a state of mind that he, himself,, recognized as dis- tinctly savage. The tall man tagged , him, swinging the shoes, and grin- ning amiably and significanily at all they met. ' "Load -in' your own shells la inter= astin', but you can't niWaYs SOT money by doing It,' rol till (mired the stranger, looking bank with en I ro In- terest at the remnants ,of 'the trunk, What was left of it was burn lug.

"It looked like powder, and it smelled like powder, and I lit a match 'to make sure, It Was powder. But, I'm square, mister, I'll settle, If you'll take an order on Jep Wiggle." , George felt that he nautili:ft trust hiniself to discuss the Matter. He took from the outstretched hands such at- nielea as they had rescued. They were a few little personal conveniences ,that the exploelon had not injured, and he stuffed them into his pockets and turned to leave. It wan plain that Ibis wardrobe was not worth gather- ing up. When the Importunate gen- nleman got in his way again with an :offer to settle the damages, the young inan pushed roughly past, and kept ton. The man who had rescued the boots followed at his heels. In the straggle of little buildings 'that made up the settlement, the tavern was distinguished by Its size, for Corran-cache as a "Jumping-off 'place"had many transients; . George found no one, in the big. 'bare, general room except some sleep - looking loafers. In, a pen in one corner, a men who was apparen thy ,postmaster as well as 'landlord was busy ivien a mail bag. The fellow with the shoes 'feted that the young man bent inquiring gaze on the loafers, none of Whom seemed to respond as though they were interested In the new arrival. "Lookin' for anybody In epeeist?" asked the tall man. "I'm going to meet Lynch Stuart and Civilian Niles here!" said George: He reached his hands for his shoes but the tall man made no move to surrender them. "No, you ain't gotn' to meet 'em, either," lie advised promptly, say I ani. I have an appointment With them. They are explorers, and have--o-n "You can't tell • me who Lunch Smart and 'ratty' Niles are, I knowed them two when that mountain over there was only a hole in the ground, But I say you ain't goin' to meet 'em here, because they left this mornina Each one of 'em took plenty of ot- bacco and a pocket full of dated 'raisins for grub, so I reckon they're bound away for a long trip! Are you that forester feller that Was due here last 'night?" "I was delayed," stated the yoeng ban, his heart sinking. "You don't Mean to tell me diet those men have gone away into the woods in this fashion -- weren't willing to watt one day?' The tall man inspected his to. Immo leisurely before' biting into it. "A date is a date with them two," he said calmly. "If a man doesn't show up when he says he will, it's his own fault when he's clealin' with Lynch Smart and eh, Niles: They was off and away at six o'clock this tnornint Bela' as they're great fel- lers on the hoof, it wouldn't do you much good to holler after 'em, seem.' that it's most dinner time, now," "I've got to catch those men," de- clared George desperately, He realized that lie had been the one at fault. He had wasted twenty- four hours on the road on an Impulse of the' heart. That a couple of ex- plorers Would not 'wait that much time for a forester of the Great Trust Co. had not occurred to his - yes, he confessed It, now, In that moment of humiliation - to his sense of self- importance. The loafers stared it him, mum- bling certain praises regarding hust- ling quallties of Smart and Niles; the tall man, settling his tobacco in hat cheek, looked down on him quizzi- cally. "Which way did they go?" demand- ed the forester. "I'll walk all night, If need be, hilt I've got to eatch those men." "If these here was some of those' seven -league boots like they used to have in the old days, I'd advise you to start out." The man dangled the footgear before George's face. "But. there are three trails leadlia north They may have taken any one, or they May have struck right into the woods, nettle' timber. You can't reckon on them two any more'n you can reckon on a cross-eyed lucivee on glare ice." The landlord had caught the drift of the conversation and come out of his pen. "If your felt your ears burnint last night, Mister Forester," he said, not without relish for the situation, "it was when Lunch and Civ were sayin' 'what they ,thought of college dudes. I don't mean no affeese! I'm tellin' you what they said. If he listened to 'ern hard, a man might get the general impression that they 'wasn't fussy about gettin' mixed into newfangled forestry, And then again they ain't no hands to wait other folks' no, - tions." "If you'd: got along so as to go with 'ens, they Was intendin' to walk your legs often you," observed one of the loafers. "What you want to do is to plaster Yourself on to' 'ens now in spite of themselves," suggested the landlord, chuckling. "It will be a good Joke, on Lynch and Ctv." Although the loafers agreed to this with hilarity, the young men was Un- able to see anything to laugh at in the situation. ' "Here's Romeo Bragg, here''.,- the iland \viwiosp is: oneciinottd fithe the e best tollman guides that 'ever sliced bacon. He'll help you , catch 'ens Somewhere, Yes, sir, he'll help you catch 'em!

Thelt, he reflected, would make worse hi BitUtiLiOn. Without regard to his fee Ings, the whole section scented to taking him as a Joke. He realizett; all of a sudden, what WS nen,' p [elisionti of forestry hail to toutend With in the face of the grim woode ..heresy that pat revenue first, "You'll go with him, won't you, Moo?" asked the larellord. "He ain't asked me to," the gutti grumbled, George had no authority to hlee helper. Put the need of a guide was pressing, and Mn'.

"Where shall I set your baggage?"' asked Mr. Bragg, Joggling the shoes. George took them. "l'in in a ,nies, position to strike into the woods,", he said disconsolately. . Mr, Bragg looked him ovei With- out appearing to be impressed by this deatitution. "You've got a good snit of clothes, a hat, them boots, it gun, and yori• cali- pers. That's =re'a most explorer _ . have, How was you Intend:a' to tato that trunk - in your pocket, or have me wheel it on a wheelbarret?" "I didn't exactly know What the . situation was, up here," confessed' George. "I brought some things far comfort. "The situation is," declared Bragg bluntly, " that dude hunters and that truck can go inte the woods and loaf along with u whole orocery store a- tagghe 'ens, if they're a mind to pay for havin' it toted. But a man, that goes into the woods On explorin' limi- ness has got to eat wind and sleep' standirn up if he expects to get any- where and do ,what he's sent to do.
