His left wrist was broken, his head was cut and an injury to his hip sustained in the fall. Kufer had missed his boat at Vancouver as he was on his way back to Alaska, and having 2 week or more to wait for the next sailing he took a steamer to return to Seattle.

Peak’s voice was grim. “You said you had something important to tell me abeut that fellew Munson.” “Maybe I'm just a good guesser. At any rate, I agree with you that what you have to say is probably very important. That's why I'm‘ asking you not to say it now. I'd| like to finish this business of Mar- | tha and Nelson before I tackle something else.’ ’ “But, Peak! I thought that busi- ness was all settled. I thought all you had to do was to tell Nelson where to find Martha and then let him go up there and bring her home.” “It isn't quite as simple as that I think I'll have to go with him. I want to warn Martha not to say a word to Nelson about Fourth’s finger in the pie.” “I suppose youre right'” Sam sighed. “And I suppose what I want to say can wait.” “I'm sorry, Sam.

Martha was pretty well fed up with her rural retreat. She promised me that she'd never give Nelson a hint as to the reason she went away.” Sam put her head back against the leather cushions. “And, now,” she commanded, “you can tell me everything about your talk with Fourth.” Peak hesitated.
