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

And co-operation with the X. K.
found, the crux of :Kenneth's hopes.
- He did not dare to remain ' longer
at Ste. Agathe.
In the early morning he sought a.
• hurried interview with Clare. He was
very serious and rather curt. "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

• A man who had been looking intd

he loved; the blow that had saved
him from being a murder had rattled
his wits.

"Bring on your spies and I'll show
that they're liars." 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. And he put his thumb against
his breast pocket and heard the en-
couraging crackle of a paper.
"When I got to Ebeemah 1 found
that your blasting crew had done

I ordered them away from what was

dealing Douakspn's obstinacy an-

"You did, did you?"
"Certainly! Diverting that water
goes far toward killing my general
plan."
"It helps the Temiscouata, that
water!"
"I'll admit that! But a plan that
doesn't safeguard all the river for all
its users is no good! I have come
back here to be chief engineer, and
I'll have no more interference with;
my own part of the work."
• "I have been here all the time as
field director, and I'm going to stay.
You wired the home office; didn't
you?"
"I did."

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.
