(Continued from last week.)
They arose with. effort - and when
they had sought\ the living room sat
down heavily. From the kitchen there
came for a while the furious clatter
of dishes as they smoked with the
:contented sloth of the overfed; then
Barbara entered and the tri -sided con-
manyways. con-
versation angled w y . Pr esent-
ly it was discovered that Wilson had
friends who knew people whom she
had met. Wonderful! In the rapid.
crossfire of query and comment which
followed this miracle John Findlay's
tongue ran down and he sat silently,
the middle one of the trio, yet a rank
outsider. Still on and on their tongues
flew and would have stopped when and
where there isno telling had n 9st the
snap of the silent one's watch case
brought them to earth again and to
the guilty realization that they had
not spoken to him for an hour. But
could they have read his thoughts
their consciences would have slept a-
gain, for internally Findlay was one
great silent chuckle.
He arose, Wilson with him. "You
remember 'I have got to leave on the
ten o'clock, southbound and it is nine-
thirty already," was his announce-
ment. "However, I will be back in
a few days this time, .and after that
I will be hanging around here for so
long that you will lose your appetites
at the mere sight of me." " At the
door he. took Barbara's cheeksbetween
his palms and pursing her lips into
a cherry circle kissed them, while Wil-
son, now rankest of outsiders, Looked
on enviously. When it came his turn
to bid her good evening she dropped
her lids as their hands and eyes met
simultaneously, curtsied to hien in
quaint old New England fashion- as he
paid his final compliment to the meal
and told him that she really hoped
he would come again. After that
the men walked away while she still
stood in the doorway with the light
streamingabout her, and although of
course neither knew it, the thoughts
of one man were the thoughts of the
other. Half way down the hill they
heard the door close behind them, ime
mediately followed by a few notes
from a song of the olden time, full
and sweet as the notes of a mocking
bird, succeeded a moment later by an
absurdly squeaking whistle. Then continuouslycognizant of, yet lead "Yes, we will let it rest that way."

A toot came from the advancing
engine and its speed sharply diminish-
ed. Findlay swung himself aboard the
slowly -moving caboose and disappear-
withinit,: leaving the other u looking
first at the rear lights of the vanish-
ing car and then at the twinkling
lights upon the hill.. For the first time
in many months he had laughed aloud.
For the first time in many months he
had talked freely out of the very joy
of talking. For the first time in many
months he had felt happiness. But
he well knew the latter feeling would
not last. In the/ fullness of time re-
morse might die, but regret, must live
with him forever. Until he could
take a living, throbbing heart and .
placing it within the bosom of Cray-
ford say, "Arise, and walk," happiness
could not long abide with him.
CHAPTER „XV
There came an evening ,of almost
summer's warmth twenty-four hours
after Findlay's departure, and Wilson
took advantage of it by propping his
chair against -the door casing in the
outer air. Upon on�'e of his knees rest-
ed the massive head of old Caesar, the
watchdog of the premises. He was an
immense brute of surly but not evil
mind, and he respected the commands
of but three human jieingsi John Find-
lay, Barbara and the new friend who
now petted him. Wilson . understood
dogs and liked them, and rarely had
difficulty in quickly making friends
with even the most vicious, but it had
taken him a solid week of courting
before he could gain the great mastiff -
hound's confidence. Once done, how-
ever, Cxsar's friendship quickly be-
came mild adoration, and now not
even the voice of his owner could coax
him_, from Wilson's side. They had.
often strolled together, the man and
the. brute with the red shot eyes, and
upon certain bitter nights after the
wood fire had burned out and the cold
within the store had become acute,
they had slept snugly together area
over back and paw over shoulder .to
their mutual warmth and companion-
ship. Only those who have lived alone
in places where the stillness is sel-
dom broken save by the foot of an
owl or the yelp of a wolf can more
than faintly understand the almost
blood kinship of human kind to the
descendants of that brute who untold
thousands of years ago came crawling
'out of the primeval wilderness to lick
' the foot of a skin -clad savage and
dumbly say. "my master."
The day had been warm and still,
ominously so. A haze was flung a-
cross the sky and . an oppression lurk-

Wilson; leaning forward in his chair,
tightly gripping the wooden arms,
stared ahead of him intently. For the
door of the cottage had been suddenly
thrown open letting out a find of
light against which had been revealed
a towering form whose great shoulders
nearly filled the opening from jamb to
jamb. For an instant it had stood
there plainly visible, then vanished be-
hind the panel whether entering with
or without the bidding • of the one
, within the watcher had been unable to
determine. A second more -and Wil-
son had crossed the tracks and was
hurrying up the hill.
I Cautiously he approached the cot-
tage and stopped within earshot to
listen. The shame of eavesdropping
'goaded him to retreat but his solemn
promise to John Findlay held him still.
At least there could be no harm in re-
maining long enough to find out if
Cardiff was a welcome visitor, for if
such were the case no promise could
make him listen longer. For the first
half minute he heard nothing; then
voices arose that grew louder and
more intense; the exclantations of a
woman and the bass notes of a full -
chested man. Deeper boomed the tones
of the woodsman and " higher arose
the voice of the girl until there -was
no mistaking their import. Barbara
was frightened and expostulating;
j Cardiff angry and threatening. Wil-
son stepped to the door ,and rapped
sharply.

The next day after we met him up
the track he sent me a note asking
if he might call.- I told him that I
thought it would be useless- as I never
attended to any of daddy's business
and I was sure he would- only' waste
his time. But to -night he came, seem-
ing to be half intoxicated and excited

on earth do you suppose he wanted me

s
"Marry him, of course."
"Yes, but in such a queer way. = He
said he had a horse outhide and he
wanted me to g� with hint that very
instant. Think of it! Of course , I
only laughed and said I did not want
to be carried away like a cat in a
bag. Then he grew angry and said
he would take me anyway. That gave
me guite ,a fright, but I pretended to
become angry also and told him I.
would die first. Then he scared me
almost out of my 'wits. He said I
would die if I didn't go with hi/h. I
could feel my knees getting weak, and
I was many times more frightened of
him than I was of the wolves that
night. But I tried to look formidable
and asked him if he was ' coward
-enough to attack a woman, He swore
he would not harm a hair of ihy head'
for all the money and king and queens
and jacks and ether rubbish in the
world, and swore /it so 'earnestly that
T really believed him. Then he went
rambling on with some wild talk a-
bout* having come to save me from
-some great mystitxious danger that he
alone knead of, and if I would go with
him and marry him he would die for
me. I thought he was trying to
frighten me again, and told him I
did not like dead things around the
house, and I would rather he died for
someone else, anyway. Then he be-
came awfully threatening once more
and just they you came. What brought
You?'"
`I saw him against the light when
the door opened."
Barbara grew very perpendicular in
her chair, the shadow of displeasure
darkening her eyes. "So you were
watching to see if I had callers? I
had no idea that my neighbors were
so interested in -me," she returned
with much haughtiness.- Then her
manner changed abruptly. "I won't
have people watching me. I can take
Bare of myself."
"Undoubtedly. I am very sorry that
I came." He started to arise but her
hand was upon --his sleeve in a twink-
ling. -
"You know I did not mean what I
said. I am always saying something
that I don't mean—and somehow you
manage to misunderstand everything
anyway. What I meant was—" she
paused and averted her face. It was
Seldom that Barbara became confound-
ed in her speech but now her tongue
stumbled awkwardly. Wilson hasten-
ed to her rescue. .
"What you, meant was you do not
mind he act of being watched, but
you re ent the implication"
"Amen," was the fervent echo.
Findlay walked in silence for a
dozen paces and then threw the stub
of his cigar into the darkness from
which it glared at them like an evil
eye. "Now I am going -to tell you
something. She is afraid of that man
Cardiff."
"Any particular reason for fearing
him ?"
"Not that. I know of, yet I believe
he is the only man in the world she
does fear. And I don't know as I
blame her after seeing the look that
was on his face the other day at the
dam. There was murder blazing there
as plain as if it had been printed in
letters an inch high. Just why she is
afraid of him I don't lulow, unless it
is instinct, for she has never spoken
a word about it. - But. I blow it is a

'glance at him picked up his hat from
a chair and strode out of the door.
Quick as a cat Barbara had closed it
behind hint and now stood with her
back against it as though barring it
against all entrance. Wilson placed
himself fairly before her.
"I wish you would tell me ;bout it.
You know I only ask this in the hope
that I may be of some assistance," he
said quietly. Her face was still color-
less and her hands shaking. Plainly
Barbara had undergone an ordeal.
She did not answer him and he took
her by the sleeve and led her to a
chair, making her sit in it and placing
himself a yard away. "Tell me," he
went on with calm insistence. "Your
father commended you to my care in
his absence and I think I should - know
about this affair to -night that may
know how to act in the future. . Are
you going • to tell me ?" • - She had
grown quieter now and her color was
returning and she even smiled faint-
ly.
"Yes, I will telI."
"Very well. I arra listening, but I
do not hear." -
"I am about to begin. I don't like
Mr, Cardiff."
"I am content. Go ahead, please."
"And I never did and I -never will,"
"I am still not displeased."
"And I have always been afraid of
him, too. I don't know why, because
he has always been courteous to me
before to -night, but I presume it was
because he is so big and tremendously
strong. And then, too, when 1 world
say little things that he did not `hke,
such an ugly look would come into his
eyes. �I always felt so tiny and help-
less down there at his feet—Iike a
mouse feels before a mastiff, I guess.
All he would have to do would be to
make one little snap and then where
would I be!"
"Has he annoyed you much?"
"No, because I always tried to avoid
him. ' But he used to meet me in such
out-of-the-way places; gathering ferns
woods; In the ods; strolling along the tote
roads; taking little sun baths in the
much I owe you, even though I object
to your guardianship. I will do as
you say about the gun. Good night."
He bowed and left her, truthfull
vowing that her little outcroppings
of impulsiveness troubled hila not at
all.. She. closed the door as he reached
the 'foot of the steps and the click
of the • key in the lock told him that
she had renlemberecl that admonition
and lost no time in following it. As
he reached the base of the hill the
form of a man loomed out of the
darkmess before hire and the voice of
Cardiff came to his ears in an angry
growl.
"Now your I've got you and I'm
going :to crack every bone in your car-
cass for an eavesdropping, meddling.
cur." In the crack of a whip Wilson
had sidestepped the oncomer wide and
was sending him his stern warning.
"Cardiff, keep away Afrom me. I
have no quarrel' with you and I only
wish to go my way untnolested. But
bear this in mind. I arh not going to
run."
"You'll have nothing but broken legs
to run .on," gritted the other with a
rush and the uplifting of a bludgeon
' filled fist. But the blow was wasted,
by the back spring of the one assailed,
and Cardiff in the midst of repeating
the rushp aused abruptly with
the
club poised in mid air. For a huge,
red -eyed brute leaping from out of
the darkness crouched before him with
white fangs bared and throat filled
with mutterings: It was Casar, the
cross -bred mastiff hound, who sniffing
along the trail of his absent master
had seen the blow and with 'neck
bristling .with, rage had leaped to the
defense of his comrade and keeper.
The slightest aggressive movement on
the part of the one so suddenly
brought to bay, and the lg teeth
would be tearing hisesh ,and none
knew it better than di Gardi f, Mo-
tionless he stood with club in air.
"Down, dog," yelled lson as - he
gripped his champion by the,
spiked collar. "Down, I say." -The
mutterings grew lower and the brute
sullenly sank upon his belly, but his
red eyes still glowed fiendishly at the
man before him. Wilson straddling
the dog gripped him r firmly axil ad-
dressed his enemy once more.
"You had better leave as quietly
and as quickly as you know bow. As
I told you a moment ago I do not
want to quarrel with you, but in addi- •
tion I will tell you this. Despite your
size I care for you not at all. The
bigger a man is the easier he is to
bit, and the heavier he is the harder
he will fall. Furthermore, while I
have to be responsible for my own !!
acts, I cannot be bound by what this 11
dog may do to you if I am compelled !!!
to loosen him." And Cardiff, 'judge it
enough of men to know that this one
before him was not an enemy= to be
despised even by one as mighty as
himself, and knowing further that to
face the rage of Cmsar in action would
be to face a raging fiend whose jaws
could crack the bones of an ox, back-
ed slowly away until the curtain of
night was well drawn between him and
the formidable pair. But from the
distance his voice returned to them.
"I would have saved the woman but
she would not have it so and now you
do it if you can. And I would have
broken your neck for eavesdropping
and interfering had it not been for
your damned hound—but even that is
unnecessary. You may be smiling at
me now, but you will think hard of
what I have said before you see an-
other night. (Lumberman, baht You

hoofs followed his words, then silence.
Wondering if more than mere brag-
gadocio lay back of the great woods-
man's warning and curse, _Wilson
sought his bed with the resolve to
sleep with one eye on the star -like
night light of the cottage and with.
both :ears set to catch the warning re-
port of the gun. Commanding Caesar ;
to "watch sharp" he went to bed di-
vested only of his chat, coat and boots.
CHAPTER XVI
The scream of a horse in the stable
and the deep, bell -like boom of Czesar's
voice brought Wilson from his light
slumber and onto his feet in a twinkl-
ing. His first' coherent thought as he
leaped from his bed was that he VMS

was flooded with a - light that was

window and gazed out. To north, to

leaped heavenward like the waves of
a frantic sea, while above it rolled and
twisted fantastic volumes of yellow

onceriing Yours Fall Shoes
F you would secure service and satisfaction from your shoes this Fall,
it is more than ever important that you should go to a reputable dealer
in whom you have confidence, and see that the maker's trade -mark is
on the shoes, yo ` buy. This for the reason that leather is now scarcer than
at any time du 'ng the war, prices -are higher, and some grades of leather
are to -day almo t unobtainable at any price. -
¶ Millions of pairs of shoes, millions of feet of leather, have been bought
for the Nations of Europe whose stocks of footwear were entirely wiped
out- by the war. This has more than offset the reduction in demand for
army shoes. Ailid coming upon a supply of material which was already
scarce, it has reulted in a situation which, for the time being, is serious.
¶ Therefore, unlesyou have first-hand technical knowledge of shoes and leather,
you must rely niorclosely than ever this Fall upon the reputation of the maker and
of the retailer; i
¶ The retailer wh has a reputation to sustain will not endanger it for the sake
of a little- extra pr fit. And nb established manufacturer will stamp his trade mark
upon goods which Flo not represent good value at a fair price.
The chances are that you do not feel anygreat interest in the leather market,
or in the condition which govern the manufacture and distribution of shoes. But
you ARE interest d—vitally interested—in' securing for yourself and your family
reliable- footwear a fair prices. And the value which youreceive for your hard-
earned dollars is inexorably determined by those same conditions which govern what
we call the shoe trade. You cannot control them, any more than we can. But you
