Harry hurried straight to the (My - ren house. It was on the elope' of 'the valley set in a circle of old black growth trees of virgin spruce. From the porch of the tavern, he had seen portions of the hotter through the trees, But when he approached, he saw what a peculiar eiructure it was. One section wile of loge, It was here that Cornellue Canna has dwelt, eating from his tin dishes on rough tables with his men, living the life of a woodman, Harry had been told. of his tastes in that respect, • . Attaehed to the rude log walla was tt wing that consisted of a cottage,. dainty and graceful, 1.`ne great log house was plain and gloomy, with Its deep-set, little panes tat glass and its rough walls; the cottage was tresla, vine -embowered, and picturesque. George knew that Clare Correa dwelt there; it had been her father' whina to lodge ber thus. The girl, herself, was'on the porch, and rose to meet tabu. 1 He did not sit in the chair she prof- fered. Standing and looking straight Into her eyee, he told his story. "I realize how it must sound, coming from me, a stranger," lie said, at the close, "I can only remind you that I am disinterested. I am not ho employee of the Great Trust Co., even. I am, leaving for Montreal by 'the first train that will take me there," She had listened intently. A flueh had come into her pale cheeks. Her eyes narrowed as he talked. Her nos- trils dilated from time to tinae. "Why do you leave your employ - neat with the company in this quick fashion?" she demanded. 'Has it any- thing to do with what you tell me," "Pardon me," he replied. "But my reasons for leaving are strictly per- sonal. I prefer not to discuse that part of the affair." "Once more, you correct my man- ners," she cried hotly. "I'm obliged to you, bin" ' "I did not mean to be impolite, Miss Corran, But why I left the Great Truet Co. has really 'nothing to do with the matter." "It hasn't, hey?" They named, Jep- aon Wiggin had hurried up, the soft carpet of tree -fluff hiding the sound of his feet, "He's been discharged, Misa Clare. The company wouldn't have him. He's a meddler, and a liar. lie just lied thie minute to you. He said his leaving didn't have anything to do with your business. He said it, didn't he? I don't know what business be was tenni' you about, but he lied, Whatever he said. It was because he Was caught buttin' into your business hat he was fired." She waited coldly, Now, Mr. EvallS Is here, and is going to arrest him for blackmail," 'Wiggle went on. "That's a part of be blackmail, what he's beea ou." "Have you overheard whet he has bee o telling me?" she asked. "No, but I know what he was say - n', )-le was accost's' me." "Be careful that a guilty conscience oes not betray YOU, Mr. Wiggin," she Warned. "You appear to know more bout this matter tban an innocent man is entitled to know." She turned o Harry. "So you have lost your osition because you Interested your - elf in my behalt?" He protested again that it was a usiness that concerned him' alone. 'I can only meson you that I've told he`truth," he added. 'Now that Mr, WiggIn Is present, I accuee him to hia ace, in your presence, of proposing o tne to sell you out. You are warn- 0,.Miss Corran. That's ail I eau o." lie bowed, and stepped down ff the porch. "Will you wait one moment, Mr. eorge?" she pleaded, She disregard - d the preeence of Wiggin, who was ramping about, cursing under his reath. "I -propose to take 'action In his •matter. 1 ean do awthing--" he paused and called him back to er. She eaid in tones too low for Wiggin to hear: 'I can -do nothing o put this man out of Itts position nder the will, 'unless I have you as witness for me, And I have no ,man 1 business to .consult wlth. • Can you ot arrange your affaina'so that you an stay here a few days?

What's the reason you're diti- obeying them all of a sudden?" She flushed. It was a tender spot he had touched on. Perhaps her con- science told her that a' Strange reason prompted her -an impulse she had never telt 'before. She' advanced on the obstinate old 0100. There was tire la her eyes, . "Wiggin, 1 allow uo man to dictate to me, now that my 'lather Is gone -- no num to question my motives. ..I have good ieasons for' ,clischargIng you. My father could uot read. I can,. I have watched .soine of your dealtinger in the wintteo word; and I' know that you are dishonest. 1 have Only been waiting' for the right occa- sion to tell you so. I tefl you, now." "You watt till I get to the probate Judge," cried WIggin. "I'll have you taken care of, Miss Clare. You ain't responsible. ,You'd better /et this thing drop. I knoW morn law than you do. 'You're going to be sorry," Site turned her back Oki hint, un- dismayed. "Mr. George," she said, "yo- u nice I'm In sore trouble, just now. I have plenty of friends in this north coun- try, but they do not understand burn- . ness. I need your assistance. I'm not appealing to you as woman to man. I don't want any chivalry. I'm talking straight business, I want you to take charge of my afrairs, for ,:you are in a position to understand -them better than' any one else at this time. I want you to engage suitable lawyers, and manage my business until this is straightened. out. It will not take long, 1 hope. And then you ean go on about your own :Weirs." "If that skunk stays In this section many hours more, he'll get his, with the pepper pot emptied on -It," roared th.1 old man truculently Her proposition had taken George's breath away. Wiggin's threat jumped him into acceptance, lie was :no cow- ard. Ide would have seemed so, had he refueed at that moment. 111 accept the position," he said bluntly. "This gentleman Is my new mana- ger, Wiggin." Round spots on her cheeks were very red. "You'll have to deal with him from now on." "Pd like to -se him inauage," stated the old man. "l'i'e got the law behind Harry, allowed himself a bit of a boast -he was young rind very angry.

I don't propose to leave Cornelius Corran's ,estate to be plolied up by the first crook that. comes along," "Then, , you're going to fight me, and you'll wish you hadn't tried It," She declared, with spirit, "I own what Cornelius Corran lelt 1 am mistress here. I glee' you a niece .to saye yourself from disgrace, I ask You, once more - will yea ',Galan c41101 - Wiggin hurried away. • Harry remained for a time in con- sultation with his new employer. At the end, both of them realized that they needed legal advice to regulate their future acts. Once assured that he was right, the young man was certain that lie would be a match for the schemers - such is the optimism of youth. And, looking at the girl, he felt that a mau would be craven, indeed, who allowed the interests of such a one to suffer. He proposed to her that he should start at once for the. itearcut citY, in order to procure advice and set In motion the necessary legui action to protect her property. She gave him a copy of the willand such other papers as she possessed, will not do for you to go by the eompany's railroad to the junction," she warned him.

Somehow, some of the zeat of the matter seemed to have departed. Clare Correll had very frankly warned him that he was only a hired man. Of course, he did not expect or desire to be anythleg else. But the kuowledge that he was abandotng his profession for a time in order to carry on a fight - a mere single-handed tamale against odds - was a depressing thought. When, at last, he was back and had reported to her what he had been able to accomplish, she studied him with some curiosity. I•1e seemed to have lost his zeal in her behalf. "I'm afraid' I've got yoa into trouble," she confessed. "1 have had my men out slime you left here. They have watched arid listened.
