His life had been that of the smooth spaces of the easy ascent of well paved grades, of street and com- forts and of luxuries. The very rag- gedness of the thing before him lured him and drew him on.

Barry could feel that the man was him, studying him. There came a murmur: : "Wonder what the damn fdol came: out here about? Wonder if he's wise?" CHAPTER IL It was with an effort that Houston: opened his eyes. It was the room of a mountain cabin, with its skiis and snowshoes. His eyes centred upon the form of a girl standing beside the little window. Fair-haired she was, though Barry did not notice it. Small of build and slight. yet vibrant with the health and vigor that is typical of those who live in the open places. Dark blue eyes that shapped as she looked out the window, watching with evident eager- ness the approach of someone Barry could not see.

When he looked again, she was gone, and the opening of a dvor in the next room told him where. He sought to move an arm--only again to desist in pain. He tried the other, and it responded. The covers were lowered, and Barry's eyes stared down upon a bandaged, splinted left arm. Broken. He turned his head at the sound of a voice--hers--calling from the doorway to someone without. "He's getting along fine, Ba'tiste." Barrp liked the enthusiastic manner. "Oui! Heem no ver' bad. He be all right tomorrow." "That's good. It frightened me, for him to be'unconscious so long." "Lemme see, I fin' him six o'clock, o'clock. Now--eet is the noon. Six hour. M'sieu Thayer he come in the minute. . He say he thing he know heem." The eyes of Barry Houston sud- denly lost their curiosity. Thayer? Barry had taken particular pains to keep from him the information that he was anywhere except the East. For it had been Fred Thayer who had caused Barry to travel across the gave no indication that he had heard. Before there had only been suspicions and he had not hoped to have from the lips of the man himself a confession that conditions were not right at the lumber mill of which Barry Houston was the executive head. But now-- Thayer had turned away and evi- dently sought a chair at the other side of the room. Barry remained per- fectly still. When at last he did look' up into the narrow, sunken face, it was with eyes which carried with them no light of recognition. Thayer put forth a gnarled hand. "I'm Thayer, you know--Thayer, your manager at the Empire Lake mill." "Have I a manage The thin man drew back at this and stood for a moment staring down at Houston. Barry turned his head wearily. "I don't know what you are talking about," "You--don't--say, Houston, aren't you?" "17 Am I? "Well, then, who are you?" "I dont know myself." Thayer turned and walked to the door. "Batiste." "An, oui!" "Mr. Houston doesn't seem to be able to remember who he is." (To be continued.)
