Chapter 31 GLENNS AWAKENING , IN th hours that followed the ' explosion at the dam, Glenn's confidence in the fairness of Burk-battand his fellow ranch owners was vindicated. With the knowledge that they had been duped by Leoil Morse and had placed their own homes in jeopardy they worked side by side with Glenn's men to flit the jagged hole In the dam. Two bouts steady work In the dim light of lanterns and the crisis was passed. Glenn called a halt at 10 oclock when he saw that the sand bags that filled the breach would withstand the pressure of the water until Vermaneht repair could be made:' fa,a lew words he thanked the . earnestly .to dispel any .dea of 111 feeling,, tpward the ranch owners. Rather sheepishly they followed the lead of Burkhalter and came fordrardf to shike Glenns hand. "I reckon we aint jes somehow an erstood each other, Burkhalter gulped as spokesman for the group. We been iooled good an plenty alright but I 'lew we know now wbo'a who an wh'rh is which, and he turned to the men for confirmation. A .chorus of approve! greeted bis words.

Morse, who had been trying bard to look indifferent and uncon cerned, gasped a little, choked, struggled for breath. His face went from white to dark purple Then with a sudden deft move, he gripped Glenn about the middle loosened the deadly clutch of the fingers on his windpipe, bore him down. A moment later, they swayed up, still locked together. Glenn was younger, heavier, stronger windc i, -- but Morse had some alight advan age In training. Hatred and fury added moreover, to his normal strength. For some time, he managed to hold hid own, then Glenn began to push hlth backward. Morse wasMabdrlhg hard for breath.

"She drove , me out of the cabin up there at the t point of a revolver an hour or so Bgo thats the last I saw of her. Im telling you the truth.?) Before Glenn could make any reply, he heard a cry. Unconsciously be .oosened bis hold upon Morses throat, and stood llstenlog intently. The cry had come from farther down the trail near the washout vaguely There was something familiar about the sound, something that sent all the blood In bis body coursing swiftly to his heart. Morse, seeing bis advantage, suddenly leaped again, tried to repeat his former ruse of bearing his opponent to the ground, but Glenn recovered himself quickly, grappled him about the loins lifted him bodily and Bung him hack lnio the tblcket of briars from which he If it weren't for cheat bad come. lng Burkhalter and the rest of their just due, he said grimly, Td kill , you Morse lay Inert for a Becond, then he began to struggle dazedly to his feet.

The Lodge had been closed now for "some time. It was settling back already into that abandoned, aspett which it had worn before its recent rejuven ation.

The moon had come up a half ho before, and Morse and Glenn could see each other as plainly as though it had been day. A single quick move and Glenn s fingers closed about the magnate s arJ k w ind came- - out In plain view of what had been the old washout. He brought up with Such violent 'bruptness that the shock sent him staggering backward a little. On the very edge of the chasm, now a swift, madly whirling torrent, hearing on its .surface-blac- k debris, logs, uprooted trees, hovered the white, ethereal figure of Anne poised as between earth and sky. Her hair was flung loos to the wind: her filmy robe whipped in graceful little circles and eddies about bare, white ankles. Glenn and crept noiselessly steadily forward on hands and nees. He' dared not speak or call out to her. He had guessed .cady from the strange aloofness of bar pose, from the singular cry which he bad heard, that she wa3 not herself. He knew that the slightest souud, a whisper, the crackling of a twig, might send her hurtling down over the precipice on which she swayed so perilously, When he was still more than a ).ird away, she suddenly flung her arms high overWr head and began o sway rhythmically to and fro just as Bhe had done that other night when he bad been standing on the bank below to catch her In his arms.
