Just as tie had supposed. In an Instant more he was a dark, aitcnt figure, through the corridors of the house. He field his rifle 'ready in his hands. He peered Into Lennox's bedroom first. The room was unoccupied. Then the floor of the corridor creuked beneath Ids step; and tie knew nothing further was to be gHlned by waiting. If Lennox ausiectod his presence, he might he waiting with aimed rifle as he opened the door of the living room. .llo glided faster, lie hatted once more a hioment at the living-roodoor to aee If Lennox had been disturbed. lie was lying still, however, so Cranston pushed through. Lennox glunced up from his magn-r.lc- e to And that unmistakable thing, the barrel of a rifle, pointed at his breast, Cranston was one of those rsre marksmen who shoot with both eyes open and that meant that he kept bis full visual powers to the lust Instant before the hammer fell. "I cant raise my arms," Lennox aald simply, "One of 'em wont work At all besides, against the doctor's lf J orders." Cranston stole over toward hltn, looking closely for weapons. He putted aside the woolen blanket that Lennox bad drawn up over hla body, and he pushed hts hand luto the cushions of the couch. A few deft pats, holding hla rifle through the fork of his arm, finger coiled Into the trigger guard, assured him that Lennox was not "heeled at all. Then he laughed and went to work. "I thought I told you once," Lennox begnn with perfect coldness, "that the doors of my house were no longer open to you." "Tou did say that," was Cranstons guttural reply. "But you see I'm here just the same, don't you? And what are you going to do about It?" "I probably felt that sooner or later you would come to steal just as you and your crowd stole the supplies from the forest station last winter and that probably Influenced me to give the orders. I didnt want thieves nroumt my house, and I dont want them now. I don't waut coyotes, ( ! f t either." "And I dont want any such remarks out or you, either," Cranston answered him, "Tou He still and shut up, and I suspect that sissy boarder of yours will come hack, after hes through embracing your daughter In the snow, and find you In one piece. Otherwise not." "If I were in one piece, Lennox answered him very quietly, "Instead of a bundle of broken bones that cant ? t I t sit . I under the dark lushes. He went to lion's room, searched Ills huieiiu drawer mid all the pockets of the clothes hanging lit his closet, lie up- set Ids trunk 'and pawed among old letter In the suitcase. Then, stealing like some creature of the wilderness, he came hack to the living room. Lennox was not on the divan where he had left him. He lay Insteud on the floor near the fireplace; and he met the passion-drawface with entire raininess. Ilia motives were perfectly plain. He had Just made a desperate effort to promire Dun's rifle that hung on two sets or deer horns over the fireplace, and was entirely exhausted from It. He had succeeded In getting down front the couch, though wracked by agony, but had been unable to lift himself up In reach of the gun. Cranston read hla Intention In one glance. Lennox knew It, but he simply didn't care. He had passed the point where anything seemed to mutn ter. "Tell me where It Is," Cranston ordered hint. Again he pointed his rifle at Lennox's wasted breast. "Tell you where what Is? Vy money? "Tou know what I want and It Isn't money. I mean those letters that Tin Falling found on the ridge. through fooling, Lenaox. Dan learned that long ago, and It's time you learned It now." "Dan learned It because he was sick. He isn't sick now. Don't presume too much on that. Cranston laughed with harsh scorn. "But that Isnt the question. I said I've wasted all the time I'm going to. Tou are an old ntnn and helplesw; hut I'm not going to let that stand In the way of getting what I came to get. Theyre hidden somewhere around tills house. I've, watched, and he's had no chance to take them Into town. I'll give you Just five seconds to tell me where theyre hidden. "And I give you," Lennox replied, "one second less than that to go to h 11 1" Both of them breathed hard In the quiet room. Cranston was trembling now, shivering Just a little In his arms and shoulders. "Dont get me wrong, Lennox," he warred. "And don't have any delusions In to ntc, either," Lennox replied. "Ive stood worse pain from this accident than any man can give nte while I yet live, no matter what he does. If you want to get on nte and hammer me In the approved Cranston way, I enut defend myself hut you wont get a civil answer out of me. Im used to pain, and I can stand It. Vm not used to fawning to a coyote like yoC. and I can't stand It." But Cranston hardly heard. An Idea had flamed In his mlud and cast a rad glamor over all the scene about him. It was Instilling a poison In his nerves and a tnndness In his blood, and It was searing him, like lira, In his dark brain. Nothlng'seemed real. He suddenly bent forward, tense. "That's all right about you, he said. "But youd he a little more polite If It was Snowbird and Dan that would hnve to pay." Perhaps the color faded stlghtly In Lennox's face; hut his voice did not chunge. "Theyll see your footprints before they come In and he ready," Lennox replied evenly. They alwuys come In by the hack way. And even with a pistol. Snowbird's a match for you." "Did you think that was what I meant?" Cranston scorned. "I know a way to destroy those letters, and I'll do It In the four seconds that I said, unless you tell. I'm not even sure I'm goln' to give you a chance to tell now; Its too good a scheme. There wont he any witnesses then to yell around in the courts. Wliat If I choose to set lire to this house? "It wouldn't surprise me a great deal. It's your own trade. Lennox shuddered once on his place on the re-gn- floor. J Cant Raise My Arms, Lennox Said Simply. lift Its arms. I'd get up off this couch, unarmed as I am, and stump on your 'ylng lips. But Cranston only laughed and tied Lennoxs feet with a cord from the window shade. He wcut to work very systematically. First he rifled Lennoxs desk In the living room. Then he looked on the All the mantels and ransacked cupboards and the drawers. He was taunting and calm at first. But as the moments passed, his passion grew upon him. He no longer smiled. The rodent features became Intent; the ayes oarrowed to curious, bright slits "I wouldnt have to worry about those letters then, would I? They are somewhere In the house, and they'd he burned to ashes. But that Isn't all that would he burned. Tou could maybe crawl out, but you couldnt carry (he guns, and you couldnt carry the pantry full of food. Tou're nearly eighty mile up here from the nearest occupied house, with two pair of snowshoes for the three of you and one dinky pistol. And you can't walk at all. It would he a nice pickle, wouldn't It? Wouldnt you have a fat chance of getting down to civilization? The voice no longer held steady. It trembled with pnsslon. This was no Idle threat. The brain had already seized upon the scheme with every Intention of carrying It out. The wilderness lay stark and bare, stripped of all delusion not only In the snow world outside but In the hearts of these two men, Its sons.
