The Rider of the King Log By HOLMAN DAY HARPER & BROTHERS (Continued from last week.) But Mulkern answered that ques- tion: he began to writhe. "I can tell him how the stories got to him. I can make him- believe what say," insisted Mr. Shank. "If that's so you'd better get ropes on him and make him sit here and listen to you," advised Kenneth. "Here you men! Get busy!" Kenneth left Mulkern trussed up and still stupid from drink and the •blow; and hurried back to Clare, for he knew with what anguish she would be waiting for news: When he had given her brief as- surance that Mulkern had been taken careof he stood before her and told her the other. news. "So that's how the Great Temiscouata has helped me keep my solemn word to you! I'm going back to Mulkern and wait till he's in shape to talk. 1 want to veri- fy what he said so far as I can. Then I shall have something to say to you." He felt too much unnerved for fur- ther talk with her then. He went and sat in Clausen's kitchen and watched the slow progress of Mul- kern back to sensibility. Mr.Shank had a great deal of precise information and a ready flow of speech, but hours went by before, by dint of iteration and reiteration, Mulkern appeared to be awake to the truth; but he showed no more of his fiery temper. He was dazed, and com- prehended only by degrees., "So that's what the Temiscouata tiled to do to me," he muttered over and over while Shank talked-. Once he turned to Marthorn. "It was you that hit me, was it? Why didn't you make a better job of it? I ain't fit to live." After that they took the ropes off the man. He was quiet and stared atthe floor. "I don't know as you're willing to give me any information, Mulkern," said Kenneth, unable to put aside his own affairs any longer. "I'm sorry I had to do it!" "If ye're sorry because ye saved my Rosie, then ye're no part of a man." "Mulkern, I swear before Heaven that I have been doing my best to square things on this river. I prom- ised Miss Kavanagh to see that the X. K. got its rights. But look at me! have been in the hospital for weeks. I don't know what has been goiTgbiup here. Will you tell me what you know?" Mulkern told, listlessly, without visible emotion. He still seemed to be suffering from the blow. A strange wondering apathy had its holdon him. But Kenneth, listening to the terse declarations, knew that the man wasstating facts. "Her men are with the colleen! They'll always be with her," declared Mr. Shank. "The poor devils mean all right, but when they ain't led. right they don't know how to act right; Don Kezar is supposed to be her field boss. But if I know anything about woods operations—and. I reckon I do—he's selling her out. And the Temiscouata is beating her out. God save the poor colleen!" Mulkern leaped to his feet so sud- -denly that those with him in the kitchen were startled. lie eehoed a part of Shank's -last words, but it was not a prayer; it was anathema against the Temiscouata and there was hide- ous significance in his manner: "It's my own business now. It's because of what they tried to do to me with a lie! It my business and I'll tend to it," "You'd best go home now, Mul- kern," counseled Kenneth. "Miss Kavanagh sent word by me that she go with you. to explain to your wife all about the wickedness .of what they tried to do." "My wife! My good. little wife!" cried Mulkern. "Think ye I'd go to her with the taste of rum and the sting o' those hell words still in my mouth? I'll go to her when I can go right. I'll crawl on my knees to her then. But not now! I have busi- ness to tend to --:my business to tend to—yes, business!" He repeated the words about his "business" many times and there was a growing wild- ness in his demeanor. the men in the ‘room were silent, not knowing just what to say to him. "I'm afraid that tank stirred up his •attic -dust so much that it won't settle again 'right away," confided Mr. Shank to Kenneth in a whisper. "But, thank God, he ain't threatening poor little Rosie any more." Clausen had applied -first aid in the form of a vinegar -soaked bandage for Mulkern's head. The dynamite boss pulled off the cloth and flung it away. He grabbed his cap and his fur coat and rushed out. His blanketed horses were at the hitch -rail. "But you ought to go to your wife," pleaded Kenneth, following him. "You are going, aren't you?" Mulkern made no answer. He strip- ped off the blankets, tumbled into his jumper -sleigh, slashed his whip, and was off. • He was headed toward the north 1 a good woman and had, given a bus- ELIXOR OF YOUTH obliged to get off my job?

"I'm going north to find out just who I atn and where I stand!". "I have no doubts of you! You know that. I don't need to tell you again!" "It's your faith in me that makes my pledge so sacred and. vital a thing. It isn't mere business any more! It's making this river free and safe for all the men who use it. I'm only one man, Miss Kaysanagh, and I'm feel- ing mighty small and humble right now. But I'm going up there at once and Iiirsdo my best.. And that's the most I feel like saying now." His humility in manner and, voice touched her; she did not reply; the sob she was checking an her throat wtuld not allow her to speak. "I don't remember just all that I said to you that morning at Dolan's House," he went on. `.‘I was more or less excited. I probably bragged about what I was able to do. I'm sorry if I caused you fo put tat) much confidence in me.. By urging you to trust me I may have harmed you as much as that lawyer seems to have done. I would1n't wonder if he had been placed on. the Temiscouata pay- roll, too, along with me," he added, with bitterness. "I ask your advice—I- need it," she entreated. "Isn't it best for me to start for up -country as soon as pos- sible?" . , "1 wish you'd come before long. I can't see ahead very far just now, I confess, but I have a feeling that I shall need your help most tremend- ously." He shook his head when she queried with her • eyes. "It's a hazy outlook. I'll probably be asking a big favor of you. • I can't ask it now be- cause my present •association with others would make it dishonorable." He saw that she showed alarm. "The favor, of course, is strictly in a busi- ness way, Miss Kavanagh." Then he hurried on after a silence that was a bit awkward. "I advise sou, if you'll allow me to suggest, to stay here in Sainte Agathe until my friend posts you on how we stand in law. Pll send him another wire this morning. Come north as soon as you have facts. Now I'll be on my way!" He put out both hands. She took them eagerly. They parted without spoken fare- well. Kenneth sent another telegram be- sides the one for the lawyer. He wired to the home office of the Great Temiscouata and did not bother to count. words or to spare sentences. It was a warning according to the code he had given out at Sebomuk Farm. He stated that 'unless his full rights of authority as chief engineer were restored he.could not remain in the service of the Temiscouata. He requested them to notify Donaldson through the usual avenue of communi- cation with their field • 'director. - Kenneth -did not, exactly avoid Donaldson after arriving in the north Toban; but the engineer went on a ,totir of inspection which • kept him away from the syndicate's • woods headquarters. When that tour had been finished the young man was per- fectly willing to meet Mr. Donaldson, and to meet him in a hurry. There was no cordiality. 'Mr. Marthorn gave Mr. Donaldsona complete resume of what the field director had done in the way of go- ing over the chief engineer's head. Mr. Donaldson showed no surprise • whatever; the news was plainly not fresh. He stated that he had full authority to act for the best interests of the Great Temiscouata and inti- mated that the example he was set- ting ought to be followed by anybody else who was taking the company's coUntr y. • A man who had been looking intd ftn abyss was: hurrying back 'dizzily from the edge; a lie had driven him to seek to 'slay the innocent woman he loved; the blow that had saved him from being a murder had rattled his wits.

I find that you started the dynamite crews there again, af- ter you thought you had Mulkern taken care of." "Well, an old fool who comes to me and tries to tell me how to run my business ought to be taken care -- "Even to the extent of making him a murder and a suicide—is that the idea? I was able to -stop him from being either. But he's back in the woods, Donaldson! If I'm any judge of men, you're going to be- devilish sorry for what you did to Mulkern." "Confound you, Marthorn, don't you, insinuate that "Hold on!" The young man put up his hand. He had decided to as- sume one attitude 'and hold to it. He would meet bluster with bluff! He would supplement what little he ac- tually knew with what he had pretty shrewdly guessed, after his ponder- ings. "I ° don't insinuate. I state facts! I know what is going on.

It occurred to Donaldson that if those agents had detected him in such a secret and crafty operation as starting the Mul- kern propagandh, his more open as- sociation with Engineer Haines and Donald Kezar could not have remain -1 ed hidden. Young Mr. Marthorn was regarding him with a grim smile; the engineer certainly did look as if he • knew a great deal! "Donaldson, you'd better quit." •But the field director had gone too far to turn then and go back; he had spent a lot of Temiscouata money. on his own account and must show re- sults.

Waiting- for Better Days For a generation that fatally had lived in a house with an irreducible minimum of furniture. When as a young fellow • the farmer had taken his blushing bride home, he did not have a great deal of money to put into furniture. Both were content to wait for better days. , But • when better days came, and there was a modest sum available, it was spent on better accommodations and furnishings for the live stock. That was fine. That was humane. It was also good business. One of the Best in Several Counties In time the farrn came to be one of the best equipped in several counties. The machinery was of the very latest and best description. The An item in the in- ventory showed $0,000 invested in securities paying 0 per cent. Part of that money invested ij in comfortable, artistic furniture would have transformed the farm- house into a, real home and would have paid the farmer infinitely better, botUl in cash and moral dividends. The house furnished with suitable and moderately priced furniture, instead of its scattering of cheap odds and ends, wonld have attracted the children, Children naturally love the beautiful, and their natures crave for its presence. Some of the boys might have been in- clined to remale. on the farm and the mother might not have been left alone to carry on the dairying a,nd other duties. • A Bard Chest Ag,ailaSt the Wall Bare walls and. scantily eoveredfloors, a, hard. chest against the wall in lieu of a couch, offer feeble counter -attractions to the lure of the luxurious city.
