Claudia wires Dick on Friday to tell him that the job is his. When the telegram comes, however, Bornell manages to Intercept it. Hurt by Claudia's evident failure to keep her promise Dick accepts Wallace's offer and leaves immediately for the lumber camp at Burns Lake. There he is put on as scaler. CHAPTER IV. Dick found that he had plenty to do, following up every fallen tree that was to be carted, reckoning up its length and girth. He was in and out of the office with his figures. The office walls were covered with maps and blue prints of timber limits, and Dick soon came to know the lie of the country and the holdings of the Bornell Company well. In camp he soon realized that he was none too popular. The men resented him as being a cut above themselves. They looked on him with distrust, ready for a chance to quarrel. The chance came one night at supper. The men had declared they were tired of pumpkin pie, and had adjured Ching Lo to have no more of it. On this particular night, there was only pumpkin pie. They shouted for the cook and 'Welly solly, punkiu pie only one," whimpered Ching Lo. "Dlied apple pie all gone, aplicot all gone!" "That's no excuse, you lazy devil!" shouted the men. One man took up a pie and hurled it at the frightened Chinaman. The men laughed and rose to their feet, ■.,-„„al fjj,. a m0D glTd WTrs-curorr irohTThe kif- | chen door, and he flattened himself into a corner. In another moment he would have been mobbed, but Dick Whalen was too quick for them. He was on his feet and round the table in a flash. He caught up a chair and leaped in front of Ching Lo, ready for them. "Back to your seats, you bullies!" he cried. Then a real clamor rose. They would have come at him, forty to one, but the outer door opened suddenly, and Manager Braddock appear- At sight of him the men slunk back to their seats, the cook slipped away, and Dick put down his chair. So the incident passed. But from then on Dick Whalen wat left severely alone. A week or so after the cookhouse incident, Dick tripped in the woods one day, his snowshoe coming in contact with something protruding from under the snow. He found that he had stumbled against a survey post that the frost had loosened in the earth. He drove it in again with the fiat of his axe, idly noting the figures on it as he did so. "W V2 Lot 30," he read. Dick Whalen had an accurate mind and an excellent memory. He committed the figures to memory and he-peated them during the afternoon. They puzzled him. He knew the technical description of these timber limits. This part of the country was charted by the section, and as far as he could remember the Bornell holdings read East of Lot 25! Later on he found himself alone in the camp office, and he made a careful examination of the maps of the Bornell timber limits. He was right --they did not jxtend beyond Lot 25! A" the timber rights ofthis land they were working now belonged to another company! Dick stood in front of the map, shocked with the realization that the Bornells were operating on another company's land, stealing timber! At that moment the overseer put his head in at the door. "Don't you want your supper? Whistle sounded long ago!" "Look here, Jenkins--" Dick said, and showed him the map and what he had found out. "Have the Bornells a concession on this land?" The overseer looked at the map, then back at Dick with a side 3mile. "So long's I get my pay this don't conceri. me--nor you neither!" he said. "If you take my tip you'll leave things alone." "That's all very well, but I like to know the rights and wrongs of the work I'm engaged in," was Dick's "Very well, very well, you tell it to the boss when he comes home." Jenkins went off to the cookhouse. Dick followed slowly. He would certainly speak to Braddock about it, and perhaps write to Wallace Bornell. Braddock returned late, but the overseer sat up for him and the two were closetted in the office in close conversation for a long time. At breakfast time Dick asked the night-watchman, a local man, if he knew who owned the timber limits to the east of them. "Some rich guy bought 'em to hold till the market's right," was the answer. "Hear he's in South Braddock was unusually affable when Dick went into his office. After the routine work, Dick broached the subject of the limits. Braddock surveyed Dick with a smile. "Accusing us o' stealing are you?" "Of course not. I thought there must be some mistake. I'm not accusing anyone of anything." "Looks like it to me, Mister Whalen!

I was only feeling you out to see how much you know about your work! Yes, Mr. Wallace Bornell has a concession to operate on this land, all right. Now be off on those slick snowshoes of yours." Dick shut the door behind him and slid away across the lake. He felt sure that Braddock had been lying. The question was--whether Wallace Bornell was a party to the theft of all this blue spruce, or whether Braddock was feathering his own nest. It was a serious question, and Dick was not the man to leave it unsolved. That afternoon Braddock left on a rush journey to Seattle. Before he left he said to Dick casually: "I'll be away for about ten days, Whalen, and I'll ask Mr. Wallace to give me a letter for you to say he's not stealing anything!" Dick saw through this attempt to throw sand in his eyes, but he just nodded and wished the other a successful trip. That afternoon Claudia's image danced before him even more vividly than usual.

Morgan A Time-Saving Dessert Now that spring is practically "in the bag" let's have springtime on the family table. However, spring fever makes everyone a little restless and no one wants to spend too much time in the kitchen preparing foods. There are so many other things to do in the spring, gardens to care for long walks to hunt for pussywillows and homes to re-decorate that it seems a shame to spend much time over the stove. A quick-setting jelly is the answer to many of your dessert problems and is .~n iTHttfe-saver that yTTu will have hours longer to spend on other interests. Quick-setting jelly desserts just melt in your mouth and the rapidity with which they disappear is all the proof you need that they are timely and poular desserts, no matter what season you serve them. Though nature is lavish with her colors in the spring, green is predominant and so a green jelly dessert is very appropriate for this particular time of year. Lime is a popular flavour and the perfect shade and when garnished with apricots, you have a dessert that comes up to all the requirements -- flavoursome, good-looking and above all -- time-saving. Apricot and Lime Dessert 1 package of quicksetting lime jelly; 1 pint hot water; Halves canned apricots; Cream cheese balls. Dissolve jelly in hot water. Turn in to mold. Chill until firm. Unmold. Garnish with apricot halves and cream cheese balls. Serve with toatsed crackers. For salad, serve with mayonnaise. Serves 4.
