The faint light from the hallway, further Impaired by his own shadow as he poised there, hand still on the knob, revealed them. A desk lamp lay on the floor at the man's feet and be was turning, relinquishing his hold on the girl's wrist, looking over bis shoulder with a white, drawn face. He posed so a moment, staring at this Intruder who showed only In silhouette. "Well?" In sharp demand. Young Belknap did not move; did not reply for a moment Then he said almost casually: "I happened to overhear you being told to get out I opened the door for you." Gorbel whirled to face him then, feet spread, arms held with stiff truculence at his sides. "And who are you?" bright eyes searching, striving to Identify the shadowed face. "The chap who opened the door." "Well, . . . Close It then, and tend to your own affairs!" John shook his head. "No." he said. "Not until the . . . the lady asks me to."

Let's see If I've got this story right: The logging railroad, owned by the Rtcharria Lumber company, goes through Belknap & Gorbel timber. The right of way was granted by a man named Kampfest who used to own that timber. Belknap & Gorbel bought blm out and began to operate. Under the terms of the old contract they can either force the Richards company to haul their logs out to a I main line branch or order them to pull their steel. And. to tighten this squeeze, the Belknap camps are making logs In such quantities that the mill here can't be safely logged? That It?" "That's right!

Why? What reason? Because old Tom did not want him to know what Because he knew was going on? that John would have demanded an about-face- ?

"Yes; the' ' a light there now. Generally Is, nights . . . this winter." Snow had ceased falling. The wind had dropped and the planks of wooden sidewalks, deep under snow, snapped and boomed as John traversed the shadows of lumber plies towards the looming hulk of a sawmill and the lighted, y building across from It which had been pointed out to him lie had no definite plan. He had considered telling the manager the whole truth and asking for a lob. That, however, might not be advisable; depended entirely on the type of Individual he encountered. It would be a tough chore to convince some men that they should hire for a responsible post the son of an But whoever arch enemy I . . be found he would at least learn more of what his father was up to. Of that only was he certain as he took the office steps at a Jump and opened the door. The building was divided Into A single halves by a cold hallway. Incandescent, dusty and weak with service, was set in the celling. Its light was not good, but a room to the left had better Illumination, and on the glazed glass of the door was painted the word Manager. John stamped snow from his feet on a husk rug. but as he started for this evidently occupied office, the sound of a voice arrested him. A man was talking swiftly, quietly, and he stopped, not wanting to Intrude at an Inopportune time, but Impatient at the delay. . . and The voice went on: I'm helpless to my offer stands! help the Richards company In any other way. but I will buy, at that price, the entire property, timber, railroad and mill ! "Perhaps thU offer seems small, but look at what is going to happen If you try to keep on nlonel I'm a partner with Tom Belknap, yes, but I'm powerless to shape the policy or direct the practice of that partnership! I'd give every dollar I have. Ellen, to see you personally at peace, but you will have no peace until Belknap has his way I Fie is out to buy this company at a figure even lower than" I offer, and he finishes what he starts. . . . Now, what do you say?" John's heart raced as he stood there listening. The man In that other room was Paul Gorbel. He was making threats in Tom BelkBullying a woman nap's name! for old Tom ! The woman spoke then. "1 have only one thing tc say. Paul! That the Richards properties aren't for sale at any such absurd price; that they aren't for sale at any figure under such pressure. They're 'n a tight place, well enough ; they would have plenty to contend with In a fair fight, but yon may take this word back to your Mr Belknap: that the Richards company is going to keep on flgl ;Ing. that It's not going to whimper; that If It finally goes down, after doing all It can to survive. It will be with the flag flying and the band-saringing I 'Take tha' word to your renegade partner. Paul, and don't come here again with one hnnd extended In friendship and the other carrying a club!" Her voice, gentle at the beginning, had mounted, and her hard flung defiance sent a prickling sensation to John's very finger-tip- s Some loyal employee a bookkeeper, an office woman ; a wife or daughter or sister of the Richards Involved had set Gorbel down with a Jolt I Behind that closed door, a low. sorry laugh and the sound of slow A shadow crossed the footsteps. lighted glass and.

His right hand swept the desk top, and with a growl John had the arm in one hand, twisted the man about and wrenched upward on the wrist until uorbei doubled over with a cry. "Drop it I" "The devil with" , "Drop it I told you. Gorbel struggled, but the lock on his wrist was secure. He bent forward for relief as John opened the door. The cold night surged In on them, and then the one was running down the steps to regain the balance that the other's shove had Im periled. At the bottom he whirled and lifted his face, normally handsome, now wrenching with rage. "You swine !'' he cried. "You'll pay for this !" "Collect then I But you stay away from here until you're sent for! Get that?" He closed the door and turned back to the office, removing bis cap as he went Brighter lights burned now, for a cluster In the ceiling had been switched on.

It simplified matters for chap In an embarrassing position. A man, even In a pinch, might want to fight through to the flnUh oil his own resources.

To tell a girl who could speak of a man with such contempt and animosity that he was that man's son was a bit more of an ordeal than he cared to undertake, considering his objective. He had found her in a man's fight confronted with a man's prob lems, but she was no man; a girl, with feminine reactions and prejudices, and to reveal bis Identity would terminate this talk abruptly.
