It was within but a few feet of the to proceed to town, when Causley's
obstruction. The old cable ferry, automobile standing where Nan had
which wag close enough to be within
plain. view, was the first thing to at-
tract Gwyn's attention.
"We've got to risk that cable"
Gwyn cried to Nan, "If we don't get
to town everything is off. Are you
wilting to try.?"
Nan nodded and Gwyu grabed the
.basket. It was rotten, and tore a-
part at his first pull, Gwyn threw
all his weight on the rope. If it was
line the basket, there was no hope!
Gwyn stopped the car with a jerk
and whirled in his Boat to look back.
The force of the explosion had liter-
ally Loin the engine to bite. A great
bole bad been blown In the ground
and a elewd of smoke and vapor rose
over the aeeuo like a fog, l -Ie shud-

sight.
It was a matter of leeen,nity now,
in spite of the fact that the injured

compassion is greater than hate.
Under the cab they found the en-
gineer, dead beside his throttle.
They were still searching the wreck -
ago when the whistle of another en-
gine
annonuced the arrival of the
sheriff, Von Bleck they found, at the
foot of the embankment, a very much
bruised and battered Von Bleck, but
stunned rather than seriously hurt,
"Fin glad. ho isn't dead," Gwyn
told the sheriff, "but I shall have to
ask you to put him under arrest be-

Von Bleek started and sat up, tho

It wars a small card but it took the
trick. The sheriff knew his master.
"It's true," he said. "Mr. Gwyn, you
are under arrest." White with anger
at • such outrageous treatment, Gwyn
sprang forward in vigorous pretest,
but Nan caught his arm and restrain-
ed hien with a whispered warning.
The explosion, she knew, sounded its
own alai'iu, and help would be on its
way frour the village.
Ilelp did come and very soon. The
road up the mountain side was dot-
ted with motors and horsemen before
the last echo had died, and at the
head of the .procession carne a bright
red machine with a strip of flying
bunting evhipping the wind behind it.

The man at the wheel was "Square

to give the newcomer his hand or his

Gwyn started to explain, his aud-

the rescuers arrived. Nan standing
at his side, sought the eye of each
friend in the crowd, nodding silent
assent. When Gwyn concluded there
was a silence, Hogan read the faces
about him with growing confidence
and walked out to face the , sheriff.
But Causley, too, had seen the swift
rise of suspition. With a wink to
Von. Bieck he turned to Gwyn with a
smile of conciliation.
"Why didn't you tell me Hale be-
fore?" he said. Then, turning, he al-

"The sooner he is under lock and

back to the crowd, and a moment

Hem is listening and the last thing Can-
ada wants to do just now is to make a
noise like Ireland. The unruliest member
pf Parliament is the tongue. It is to be
hoped that Speaker Rhodes will not need
to call "Order" very often.
The revised censorship of the press will
probably not be as stiff in operation as it
is in words. Most of our newspapers have
behaved very well during the war and
there is no real need of putting the lid on
a pot that bubbles with nothing but pat-
riotism. The opinion prevails here that
the latest order -in -council is more of a
rebuke to the innocent than a punishment
to the guilty. It bears out the proverb
that the longest way round is the shortest
way home, because the man at the end
of the lane is • probably Mr. Bourassa,
He may take it as a threat or a promise,
which ever way he pleases. This order -
in -council is like the rain from Heaven
which falls alike upon the just and the
unjust, but why give the just a wetting,
when Henri Bourassa is the man to soak.
