She looked up at him, showing a
face in which resentment, outrage,
and wittfulness were mirrored. "You
realize, of course, what your insist-

Once more, he strode .away into the
timber. Shirley watched him pass
out of her life, and gloried in. what
she conceived to be his agony, for she
had bath temper and spirit, and Bryce
Cardigan calmly, blunderingly, rather
stupidly (she thought) had presumed
flagrantly, on brief asquaintance. Her
uncle was right. He was not Of their
kind of people, and it was well she
had discovered 'this before permitting
herself to develop a livelier feeling
of friendship for him. It was true he
possessed certain manly virtues, but
his crudities by far outweighed these.
The Colonel's voice broke. in upon
her bitter reflections. "That fellow
Cardigan is a hard nut to crack -I'll
say that for him." He had crossed
the clearing to her side and was ad-
dressing her with his custorxfary air
of expansiveness. "I think, my dear,
you had better go back into the ca-
boose, away from the prying eyes of
these rough fellow's. I'm sorry you
came, Shirley. I'll never forgive my-
self foie bringing you. If I had
thought -,but how could I know that
scoundrel was coming here to raise a
disturbance? And only last night he
was at our house for dinner!"
"That's just what makes it so ter-
rible, Uncle Seth," she quavered.
"It is hard to believe that a man
of young Cardigan's evident intelli-
gence and -advantages could be such
a boor, Shirley. However, I, for one
am not surprised. You will recal'
that I warned you he aright be his
father's son. The best course to pur-
sue now is to forget that you have
ever met the fellow."
"I wonder what could have occur-
red to [Hake such a madman of him?"
the girl queried wonderingly. "lie,

for the senior Cardigan over my rail-

was a heritage from old Bill Hender-

assignee it was incumbent upon me
to fulfill Henderson's contract with
Cardigan, even thought the freight -

CHAPTER XVII
Through ehe green timber Bryce
Cardigan strode, and there was a lilt
in his heart now. Already he had
forgotten the desperate situation from
which he had just escaeled; he thought
only of Shirley Sumner's face, tear-
stained with terror; and because he
knew that at least some of those
tears had been inspired by the grav-
est apprehensions as to his physical
well-being, because in his ears there
still resounded her frantic warning,
he realized that however•stern her (1. --
Creel of banishment had been, she was
nevertheless not indifferent to him.
And it was this knowledge that had
thrilled him into song and which
when his song was done had brought
to his firm mouth a mobility that pre-
saged his old whimsical smile - to
his brown eyes a beaming liedit of
confidence and pride.
The climax had been reach,- I -and

"What? Not married. Why, what
the deuce can be the matter with the
eligible young fellows hereabouts?"
"There aren't any eligible young
fellows hereabouts, Mr. Bryce. And
Pare lived in these woods all my life."
"That's why you haven't been dis-
covered."
"And I don't intend to marry a
lumberjack and continue to live in
these woods," she went on earnestly,
as if she found pleasure in this op-
portunity to announce her rebellion.
Despite her defiance, however, there
was a note of sad resignation in her
voice.
"You don't know a thing about it,
Moira. Some bright day your Prince
Charming will come by, riding the
log -train, and after that it will al-
ways be autumn in the woods fer
you. Everything will just naturally
turn to crimson and gold."
He laughed. "I read about it in a
refer spring in the woods, I
think. It seems- It's so foolish
of me, I know; I ought tu be content-
ed, but it'ts hard to be contented when
it is always winter in one's heart.

Hle took one of ;her hands in his,
noting the callous spots on the plump
palm, the thick finger -joints that
hinted so of toil, the nails that had
never been manicured save by Moira
herself. "Do you remember when I
was a boy, Moira, how I used to come
up to the logging -camps to hunt and.
fish? I always lived with the Mc-
Tavishes then. And in September,
when the huckleberries were ripe, we
used to go out and pick them to-
gether. Poor Moira! Why, we're old
pals, and Pbl be shot if I'm going to
see you suffer."
She glanced at him shyly, with
beaming eyes. "You haven't chang-
ed a bit, Mr. Bryce. Not one little
bit!"
"Let's talk about you, Moira. You
went to school in Sequoia, didn't
you?"
"Yes, I was graduated from the
high school there. I used to ride the
log-traine into town and back again."
"Good news! Listen, Moira. I'm
going to fire your father, as I've said,
because he's working for old J. B.
now, not the Cardigan Redwood Lum-
ber Company. I really ought to
pension him after his long years in
the Cardigan service, but I'll be
hanged if we can afford pensions any
more -particularly to keep a man in
booze; so the best our old woods -boss
gets from me is this shanty, or an-
other like it when we move to new
cuttings, and a perpetual meal -ticket

Cardigans ri.main in business. Id

"Thunder," he continued philosophi-

worry over it? And why continue to
discuss an unpleasant topic, my

A groan from the Black Minorca
challenged her attention. "I think
that man is badly hurt, 'Uncle," she
suggested.

coldly. "He tackled that cyclone full

timber, from which came a \mice,
powerful, sweetly resonant, raised in
song. Shirley knew that half-train-

5.50 night before when Bryce Cardigan,
5.55 faking his own accompaniment at the

De Laval Separator,
He can find out all about De Laval
Separators by asking any One of the
crowd of nearly five million users.
Now a crowd of between four and
five million people is quite a ,
gathering. By putting them only
about twenty feet apart they would
circle the world at its greatest cir-
cumference. They could start toss-
ing a hand ball toward the West and.
the fellow that started it in duet
course of time would see it comieg
to him from the East. If it were a
crowd of a few thousand or a -few
hundred thousand taken out of the
population of the world you might
say they were some poor, deluded,
feeble minded persons who had been
fooled and wouldn't adinit it, but
when you get a crowd of nearly five
million people there is no use in try-
ing to claim they are ell fools. A
crowd the size of that speaks for it-
self, and more than that they can
speak in any language under the sun.
It doesn't make any difference where
a man is he doesn't have to buy ex-
perience in cream separators because
there are people enough in any coun-
try using De Laval machines to tell
him all about them.
It's just the same with any other
.line of equipment of De Laval manu-
facture. You hear of milking ma-
harn and not in use, that doesn't ap-
ply to De Laval Milkers. You can
hear of men being hung up by the
neck, but that doesn't apply to a
man leading a lawful life and mind-
ing his own business. Here's a case
where a great army of users have
been growing rapidly in a few years,
it won't be such a long time before
the army of users of De Laval Milk-
ers will be as great as that of the
separators. A farmer wants to milk
cows and separate the milk, that is
what he buys De Laval machines for,
he doesn't want to inveet the money
in experience. You may be timid and
think he may get sore if you talk
to him on De Laval Separators and
Milkers, if you let him go and buy

It makes a whale of a lot of dif-

you really get what you think you

get is experience. Why it's neces-
sary for a man to buy experience in
cream separators is something bard
to understand. A man wants the

is what he pays for. He wants the
