"Bight after we tried to get more than a buttonhold on this bird, this witness and I found a gun set in my trail, loaded and ready to blow me to kingdom come. That gun Is covered with finger-prints." The other's face paled. "Talk !" he snarled. "Bunk I If you think you can tie me up to something some-thing I don't know about you've got a flock of guesses coming 1" But the paddle held tightly In one of his hands rattled against the gunwale. On that Steve grinned easily. "I'll make you this promise, Franz : one word from you about the game I'm playing which I admit to you freely, now or about another man said to be Young Jim Flynn in this country, and I'll have the sheriff on you and an attempted murder charge against you. . "I'm not promising to let this set- gun case drop. Nothing like that But I'll make no move In It so long as I'm convinced it's advisable to keep on playing the game I've been playing since the start ... that is, unless you want to find out Just how quick and how hard I'll bear down, Just let your tongue run. I don't care where the story comes from; if it so much as starts I'll put the clamps on you. Get that?" Franz caught his breath to reply. "Hold it I I don't want to hear an other d d word from you ! We seem to understand each other plenty, and using up more words now is Just using up more words !" He resumed his way, leaving Franz with a baffled look on his face in which a helpless rage and great relief mingled. Drake went on to the wood camp, pondering this new complication, Young Jim's coming would mean more than disaster for the operation of the property ; just as surely as it would precipitate trouble here, it would eventually mean heartbreak for Kate Flynn and this, oddly, seemed to him to be of greater importance im-portance than the effect on such items as production and credit As Steve came abreast of La-Fane's La-Fane's cabin on his return he saw the man and bis children in the doorway. More, the great dog, Duke, was with them, walking slowly about and on bis either side walked a child. "Evening!" Steve hqiled ashore and LaFane saluted gravely. As Drake stepped ashore he saw the dog's lips draw back, exposing the long, white fangs and then the animal, as If reminded of some important im-portant matter that had been temporarily tem-porarily forgotten, looked up Into LaFane's face. "Walk up and touch him," LaFane said, amusement in his face. "Hullo, Duke," Steve muttered, stepping forward, hand extended. The dog lowered his head, stopped his leisurely panting and stiffened. But when the hand touched him in light caress he flopped his bushy tail and let his tongue loll again. "Great hat I" -- declared Drake. "How'd you do it LaFane?" The other chuckled then, as one will whose pride has been fed. "There are ways," he said. "Take him down to the beach, children." The three little girls scampered along the sand, the eldest calling to the dog to follow. Duke still sat there but he stared eagerly at his master, ears cocked expectantly. "Go on!" the man said. "Go on! Take care of 'em, Duke!" With a great bound he was gone, flying after the children as fast as he had rushed on another day. But this day he did not pursue to malm or kilt When he overtook the children chil-dren he ran among them, bunting them aside, licking ecstatically at hands and faces, frolicking like a spaniel puppy ! "But how In the name of Heaven?" Heav-en?" Drake insisted. 1 had it to do. And when a man has a thing to do it must be done. Isn't that so? When you first saw him, I bad had him here only three days. I had been watching him, trying try-ing to find out what he was like, I knew him pretty well but I made one mistake: I was careless about the strength of the chain that held him. I should hare made sure of that, knowing htm as well as I did, and with the children here." He was still a moment "He was as dangerous ns Fd guessed. If It had cot been for you, we would be bearing a great sorrow now. I took him that afternoon into to bush. Just the two of us. He came back ... mine." "You knocked the poison all out of him?" LaFane shook his head. "No. I did not strike him often. When I did, of course, It counted. That was one thing. After that was over, I put him In harness. I made him drag things through the brush. I let him get hung op and then forced him to try his best to pull loose. Ills best, understand ; made him pull his heart out And then, when he'd used all bis strength and could not get free, I helped him. When he found out he bad a Job to do and conld not do It without my help, and that he must put Into trying all the strength of muscle and heart be had before I would help or else suffer suf-fer .. . why, then he was all mine." Steve sat down with a surprised ejaculation and the other smiled grimly. "It works, with dogs and with men. There are few outlaw dugs Just as there are few outlaw men. Give a man or a dog an Idea of his duty, of his Job, and see that he knows he must do it knows clear down to the roots of his heart that he must and there you are. "If I bad shot bim that day after he had rushed my babies it would have been a coward's way out and they would have known it You you put It away In time. But yon did not I saw It la your face as you looked at it "No man, you know, would look at his sister's photograph as you were looking at Kate Flynn's." Steve felt himself flushing. He recalled re-called how he had been re-reading her letters that first day In bis new cabin and of how bis heart had. speeded up when he looked at her likeness. "Well, there's nothing much for me to say 1" he laughed, abashed. "And no need of it Your business is not mlue. Why you came as you did, I don't know. I'm not curious, even. I know what you have done, which is to save Old Jim's hide for a time, anyhow. That is all that matters. He, too, Is my friend." "Thanks," said Steve, feeling that any words were inadequate. "I'm glad you found out about me for yourself. I was wondering how to tell it . . . "Now, here's my present problem prob-lem . . ." and swiftly he told of how he had blundered on Young Jim, of bow he bad ' come to masquerade and of the worry which Franz's news today bad given htm. "And if I leave the Job and try to persuade Young Jim to stay away or to brace bim up, things may all go to the devil before I return." The other agreed. "Do you suppose you could do two jobs in one? Keep the boy away until we have a chance to see what can be done toward putlng this thing really on its feet and, while you're doing it handle him as . . . as you handled Duke? I can't keep this game np very long. But until Old Jim gets squared away somebody some-body must be in charge who lias a clear head and the respect of the men." "Where Is he?" Steve pondered, "now much red clay Is there in this country? Within With-in a day's travel, I mean." "Only In one place. On a portage between the Good-Bye and the Mad Woman." . 'I came that way. And the bottom bot-tom of Franz's canoe was smeared with It today. It was fresh. He had just come across the carry." "If Young Jim is still on the Mad Woman and bound to come here, It will be across that trail. If the rest are with him, It may be not too easy." LaFane shrugged and rose. "I will do what I can do." Then, without speaking further he walked toward his house. Steve stood on the beach watching him and thinking that for such a situation, situa-tion, no better man could have been found to accomplish all that might be done. "Great Hatl" Declared Drake. "How'd You Do It, LaFane?" gave me the chance to finish what I had planned to do without . . . without h 1 coming to my home. That Is why I have been waiting to do something, anything, for you." Steve oddly touched, growled that LaFane owed him nothing. "But men and dogs, LaFane . . . You've not always lived here then?" "I have tried living many places." "And handled men?" "Handled? Handled I I've herded men. I was deputy warden In a big penitentiary once." "Didn't like man herding?" "Didn't like seeing them herded without a chance to find and un earth the thing that would make them fit and safe to walk alone, free. Some, of course, must always be herded : the weak ones. But so many of the others never have a chance, because of bad handling." Drake thought rapidly as he received re-ceived this confidence. "You think, then, that If you had a' chance you could break men as you break dogs?" "I'm no breaker, I say. I can handle men, yes. That Is an answer to your question. I have done it" Steve locked his hands around one knee and stared out across the lake. "Do you like to try handling men? Young men? Who are strong enough but who haven't discovered themselves them-selves yet?" "No, I'm happy here, wih the dogs and my family. But . . . you've a man in mind?" "LaFane, can I trust you to keep a secret? A special, personal secret which Involves others." "I have kept It" "What? You mean . . . you've guessed something?" "I have not even told myself that you are not Young Jim Flynn." "Well, how In When did Who told you that LaFane?" "You." T? I haven't breathed It!" "No. You have said nothing. You have been smart and wise. But the first day I took the mall up to your cabin I walked in quietly. I thought you were out but you were sitting there at a table and you thought even though I surprised you, that OPENING CHAPTERS CF THE STORY Stephen Drake, with his four-year-old on, la reacued from a billiard by Jim Flynn, big- timber operator, whom Drake ha robbed.

CHAPTER V v 1 AND that night, up the waters, that Steve bad descended on his way to Good-Bye went another lone man in a canoe. LaFane's pack was light and he paddled steadily until he was well past the wood camp. Steve had described the camping spot where he had met Flynn but none with a good eye would have needed the directions he gave because smoke was rising from a camp-fire against the afterglow. after-glow. LaFane idled along waiting for night to come, then he let his canoe drift into the rushes and sat listening listen-ing to the sounds that came from the camp. Sounds of revelry, they mostly were; the snatch of a song, loud laughter, a careless oath occasionally. occasion-ally. For a long time LaFane sat listening lis-tening and watching; then he backed noiselessly away, paddled half a mile, landed, concealed his canoe in the bushes and slept in a single blanket He did not sleep long. He was up while many stars were still brilliant bril-liant folded his blanket, ate a cold snack and waited for the coming dawn. When light was strong he began to walk slowly and silently through the timber. He did not stop until he could observe the activity about the camp. Smoky, the guide, was up. Two of the three young men who comprised com-prised the party were washing in the lake. "Ready for cakes now?" Smoky ftSsCda "Dick and Til be. Jim, though, he's dead to the world." The guide grunted and drew the coffee pot from the fire. LaFane heard the others try to rouse Flynn, saw them finish their breakfast and then begin rigging their rods. They embarked shortly, the three in one canoe. LaFane went directly direct-ly to the tent Jerked the flap aside and looked down at the sleeping figure there. The face was upturned. It would have been a handsome one under normal conditions, but now it was lined deeply with the ravages of dissipation. LaFane stooped. "You !" he said gruffly. The sleeper made no response. re-sponse. "Jim I" He shook the lad's shoulder but except for a long breath, Flynn made no response. The man went over the packs carefully and finally selected one that contained aprarel which would fit the sleeper, discarding that which by any chance might belong to the others, and packing those belonglngp which were obviously Jim's. This done, he carried the pack to the canoe on the shore and set the craft in the water. The other canoe ca-noe had disappeared among the- islands. is-lands. (TO BE OOXTIWD-J BRISBANE THIS WEEK Many Sleep, Forgotten Kang Teh's Era McGraw Hat Gone Britain Claims All What we actually see impresses us.

In graveyards are millions that have slept for generations, and everywhere beneath the sod endless other millions are sleeping, never to wake on this earth. Nobody wonders about that everybody takes it for granted. Pu-YI, Chinese prince once heir to the imperial throne of China, emerged from his "period of purification" purifi-cation" as "Emperor Kang Teh of Manchukuo." Confucius says "tranquillity "tran-quillity and virtue," are necessary in a sovereign. And Pu-Yi's new name, "Kang Teh," means tranquillity tranquil-lity and virtue. The years to come in Manchukuo, where Pu-Yi's Manchurlan ancestors ances-tors ruled before they became emperors em-perors of China, will be called Kang Teh. How long will It last? now long will the able Japanese believe it necessary or worth while to keep up the pretense of independent rule in Manchukuo? It is interesting to see the power of Japan demonstrated In her ability abil-ity to set up an emperor on what was Chinese territory, on the edge of angry Russia.

"Little America," says England, Is part cf "three large sectors around the South pole" that belong to Britain because she saw them first. There will be no war about It probably, because the poles, as they shift, move slowly. Our North and South poles require 17,000 years to make a complete sweep of the heavens, and the day Is far off when today's South and North poles will be part of a warm climate, with other spots on the earth, as North and South poles, taking their places.
