'Poblished by Arrangement with First National Pictures, Inc., and Frank | i Lloyd Productions, Inc, CHAPTER VII. (Continued) The wooden-faced object of her attack became inexplicably stupid; he strove for words. “Me no speak wood,” he muttered. “Me no say- v— f “Perhaps you'll sayvy this.” As the Countess spoke she took from her pocket a short-barreled revol- ver o “Perhaps you'll this.” As the Countess spoke she took from her pocket a short-barrcled revolver, which she cocked and presented in a capable and determined manner so close to the old native’s face that he Staggered backward, fending off the attack. The woman followed him. “Look here!” Danny Royal ex- ploded. ‘He made a movement with his right hand, but Pierce Phillips and Lucky Broad stepped close to him. The former said, shortly: “If you make a move I'll brain you!” That's me,” seconded Mr. Broad. “Life a finger, Danny, and we go to the mat.” Royal regarded the two men Searchingly. “D'you think I'll let you people stick me up?” he queried. “You're stuck up!” the Countess ed, shortly. “Make sure of m not bluffing. I'll. shoot. oul” she called to one of the packers at the rear of the line who had turned and was making off. “Get back where you were and stay there." She emphasized this com- fmand with a wave of her weapon and the Indian obeyed with alacrity. “Now then, Mr. Royal, not one pound of Sam Kirby's freight will ‘these people carry until mine is over the pass. I don’t recognize you in th in any way. I made a bar- twain h the chief and I'll settle it with him. You keep out. If you dont, my men will attend to you.” It was surprising what a potent leffect a firearm had upon the aged shaman, His mask fell off and his knowledge of the English language was magically refreshed. He began a pertectly intelligible protest jagainst the promiscuous display of loaded — weapo' particularly in crowded locali He was a peace- ful man, the | of a peaceful peo- ple, and violence of any sort was contrary to his and their code. “This was no way in which to settle a dispute— “You think not, eh? way,” Well, it’s my stormed the Countess. “Pll drop the first man who tries to pass. Ji you think I won't, try me. “Go ihead, try me!" Mr. Royal un- dertook to say something more, but without turning her head the wo ain told Phillips, “Knock him down ii spens his mouth.” ily Pierce edged closer to his man, and in his face there was a hunger for combat which did not look promising to the object of his attentions, Lucky Broad likewise discouraged the ex ky by saying, “If you call her hand,” Danny, [ll bust you where you're bigge The Countess still held the 1 er close to the 1 id, pe You're going to end this joke right Order their pa off, quick!” colloquy had been short, but, ad been, it had Th bricf as the delay afforded time for new-comers to ar- rive, mazed at the sight of a-rag- ing woman holding an army of red men at bay, several “mushers” dropped their burdens and came running forward to learn the mean- ing of it. ‘The Countess explained rapidly, whereupon one exclaimed: ‘Go to it, sister!” Another agreed heartily. “When you shoot, shoot low. We'll see you through.” “T don’t necd any assistance,” she told them. “They'll keep their agree- ment or they'll lose their head man. Give the word, Chief.” The old redskin raised his voice in expostulation, but onc of the late- comers broke in upon him: “Aw, shut up, you robber! You're gettin’ what you need.” I'm going to count three,” the woman said, i ly. Her face had own very white; her eyes were shining dangerously. “At four 1 shoot. One!

H Indians took up those burdens which ; they had originally shouldered, and; the march to the Chilkoot was re- sumed. Now, however, the Countess | Courteau brought up the rear of | the procession and immediately in| advance of her walked the head man: parm LAND of the Dyea tribe. CHAPTER VIII It was a still, clear morning, but | autumn was in the air and a pale | sun lacked the necessary heat to} | | melt a skin of ice which, during the | night, had covered stagnant pools. | The damp moss which carpets north- | erm forests was hoary with frost and it cracked underfoot. Winter was near and its unmistakable approach could be plainly felt. A saw-pit had been rigged upon a sloping hillside—it consisted of; four posts about six feet long upon which had been laid four stringers, up to this scaffold led a pair of inclined skids. Resting upon the stringers was a sizable spruce log which had been squared and marked with parallel chalk-lines and into which a whip-| saw had eaten for several feet. Bal- anced upon this log was Tom Lin- ton; in the sawdust directly under him stood Jerry Quirk. Mr. Linton glared downward, Mr. Quirk squint: | ed fiercely upward. Mr. Linton; showed his teeth in an ugly grin) and his voice was hoarse with fury; Mr Quirk’s gray mustache bristled | with rage, and anger had raised his conversational tone to a high pitch Both men were perspiring, both were shaken to the core. “Dow’t shove”? Mr. Quirk ex: claimed, in shrill irritation. “How many times d’you_want me to tel! you not to shove? You bend the infernal thing.” “I never shoved,” Linton said thickly. “Maybe we'd do better i! you'd quit hanging your weight or those handles every time I lift. 1: you've got to chin yourself, take a limb—or I'll build you a trapeze You pull down, then lemme lift—” Mr: Quirk danced with fury “Chin myself? Shucks! | You'r petered out, that’s what ails you You ’aint got the grit and you've throwed up your tail ft her clear —don't try to saw goin’ up, the tcetk ain't set that way. Lift, take a bite then leggo. Lift, bite, leggo. Don’t say that again!” shoute¢ Linton. Ife swallowed hard, then with di culty voiced a solemn, vibrant warn: i 't say it again, that’s all nce instantly flames in Jerry's eyes. “I'll say it if T want to!” he yelled. “Il! say anything I feel like sayin’! Some folks can't understand i some folks have got lignumy have to tell ’em— “You couldn't tell me anything! “Surg! with you—mobody can tell you any- thing!” “I whip-sawed before you wa: born!” The 7 Lift | ‘I'm a patient man, but— j heads and you | That's just the trouble 3 ROOM strictly cust front, north part of city, one j bed) roor hardwood floors Dlock from paving, $3800.00."

You was for ty- ing one end to a limb and the other end to a root and then rubbin’ the log_up and down it.” “I never meant that. ing and you know it. like you, to—” Say, if you'd ever had holt of a whip-saw in all your useless life, the man on the other end of it would have belted you buried you in the sawdust. I'd ought to, but I ain't got the heart!” The speakcr spat on his hands and in a calmer, more business-like tone “Well, come on. our last board.” Tom Linton checked an insulting remark that had just occurred tc him. It had nothing whatever tc do with the subject under dispute but it would have goaded Jerry te insanity, therefore it clamored’ fos ion and the temptation | tc forth was almost irresistible Linton, however, prided himseli upon his self-restraint, and accord- ingly he swallowed his words. He clicked his teeth, he gritted then— he would have enjoyed singing ther. into his partner’s throat, as a mat- ter of fact—then he growled, “Let her “whiz!” , . In‘unison the men resumed theit interrupted labors; slowly, rhyth- mically, their arms moyed up and lown, monotonously their aching backs bent and straightened, inch by inch the saw’ blade ate along the penciled line. It was killing work, for it called into play unusual, un- developed, muscles, yes, muscles which did not and never would or could exist. Each time Lintor lift- hed the saw it grew heavier by the fraction of a pound. Whenever Quirk looked up to note progress his eves were filled ‘with stinging par- ticles of sawdust, His was.a tearful job: sawdust was in his hair,.’his beard, it had sifted down inside his neckband and it itched his moist: body. It had worked into his tn- derclothes and he could not escape it even at night in his ‘bed, He had of late acquired the habit of repeat- ing over and over, with a pertinac-1 ity intensely irritating to his part- ner, that he could taste sawdust “in his tood—a_ statement manifestly false and well calculated to offend a camp cook.
