He felt of his swelling lips and looked upward. In that look was hatred, chagrin, perhaps a threat; but it was, first of all, a beaten look, and Steve hitched at his belt and turned to retrieve his hat, well satisfied, As he turned he confronted McNally, who stood on the inner edge -of the wide-eyed circle of men.

III Steve rose, a bit stiff from his encounter with Franz, and dressed slowly. He inventoried the room as he clothed himsel’. A desk stood in one corner, maps hung on the wall. A fireplace was in one end with a bearskin, before it; and there was a photograph of a girl, He took the print from its place on the mantel-and walked to the window. Holding it to the light a tingle ran through his body. She wore high pacs and riding breeches; a shirt was open at a slender throat. Light, short hair crowned a face that he thought was the most lovely he had ever looked upon. She was smiling, showing right? “’Y J. G—d! F. Is Junior? iz that so?

McNally spoke of Lahim as of particular after the to his room, meal Drake shut himself in, and began ripping open the letters addressed to James Flynn, Jr., at Shoestring. They were typewrit- ten. He observed from the head- ing that he was posing as vice president of the Polaris Forest Products Co., that Katharine Flynn was secretary and treasurer and that Old Jim was president of the concern. The first letter—he had arranged them by dates—was signed in type- written word characters by the single Kate. “Dear Duffer,” it began. “Now you’re on your way, the last hope of the family! I’m betting on you this time. We’ve both got to stand behind Dad and push him out of this awful hole. You and I could stand going broke but he can’t because he’s too old to start at the bottom again.
