* CHAPTER XXIX.
TT N another moment he feared
I she would say goodbye, and
he was desperately reluctant
to end it. The mere sound of her
voice over the wire seemed to
mate his blood run faster and
bring to him a pleasure unlike any
other possible feeling. He could
hang on to her words endlessly,
greedily.
“What havd you been doing?”
he asked.
“Nothing.” „ ,
“What are you doing now?”
“Oh, there are a dozen things I
ou^ht to be doing, but I am just
lazying around. Mother and father
aren’t home yet, and I reckon I’m
a little lonesome.”
Eddie looked swiftly at the
clock in the hall; it was not yet
eight o’clock —plenty of time to
see her tonight, if he dared ask
and if she would let him come.
“I’m lonesome myself,” he said.
“Why don’t you let me come over
for a while?”
Briefly she hesitated. Then,
“Well, why not? Only we won't
get into any argument tonight,
will we?”
“I’ll say we won’t," he
sponded, thrillingly.
A wild tinge of anticipation vi-
brated through him with stimulat-
ing current; when he was shaving
and brushing himself to call upon
Marian Thorndike there was no
state of happiness on earth com-
parable with it. A boyish pride in
his new suit, the fresh shirt and
see that you don’t put foot on the
place.”
“You’re so thoughtful of her
father!” Eddie mocked him.
“That’s only part of it, Buddy.
I’ve got a score of my own to set-
tle with you—on account of the
little argument we didn’t have time
to finish the other night. It was
a lucky thing for you she came
out and stopped it.”
Eddie sensed the uselessness of
words between them. Freeman
wanted action and there was no
way, without sacrificing pride, to
avoid it.
“All right, Freeman,” he said.
“No use chewing the rag about
it. I’m with you in a minute.”
Deliberately he took off his
coat and hat, stripped himself to
♦•voice, “and that’s why I am going j his sleeveless undershirt. Freeman
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
Eddie Regan, once a member of a New York gang, has'escaped
and gone to Virginia, where be befriends Penfield Paradine, who
dies and leaves all his possessions to Eddie. Eddie had been in
love with Bernice Veressi, “gang girl" but all thought of her is put
out of his heart when he meets and fttlls in love with Marian Thorn-
dike. Eddie declares his love for Mariam, but she discourses him
and tells him she expects to marry Tom Freeman. Freeman dislikes
Eddie, and one afternoon when Eddie is calling on Marian, Free-
man comes in and insults Eddie. Marian tells Eddie it is hopeless
for him to love her. and Eddie, discouraged, decides to go to Rich-
mond. While he is there be meets Mike Arno, a former member
of the gang. Arno tells him that Bernice is still in love with him
(Eddie) and Eddie’s thoughts once more swing to her. Mike tells
Eddie be is a “sap" for staying in the country and loving a country
girl, but when Eddie returns to bis oton borne, and Marian tele-
phones him. Eddie realizes bow deeply he has become attached to
his environment.

necktie, delighted him. In the past,
he had been conscious of a certain
shabbiness before her and now he
felt for the first time that he
might appear well groomed and
smart in her eyes.
Maybe those things counted with
a girl, maybe they didn’t—but all
the same he glowed with a minor
exhilaration.
Tobe, already, was at the barn
getting the horse and buggy for
him. .Unexpectedly the telephone
rang again and he had a sudden
fear that Marian might be calling
up again to break the date.
“That you, Regan?”
The masculine voice was faintly
familiar, but he could not, at once,
identify it.
“This is Regan.”
“This is Tom Freeman speak-
ing. Can I see you?”
“You can see me any time you
like, Freeman.” x
“I want to see you right away.”
“You can see me any time you
like except right away. 1 am busy
this evening. How about the first
thing in the morning?”
“I know you are ousy tonight,”
Freeman returned, in a pentup
to see you. I’ll be waiting for you
where the road bends past Locust
Grove Church. It fon’t take long.”
Eddie, unseen, shrugged his
shoulders. Freeman was looking
for trouble. It was too bad it
couldn’t be postponed, but he had
lio way to stop the guy from meet-
ing him in the road.
“If you insist, tonight’s all right
with me. Freeman.” He hung up
the receiver.
The situation was beyond his
control. Tom Freeman was going
to meet him and there could be
only one result—trouble. And the
w&rst of it was that his date with
Marian would probably be spoiled.
There waA’t a great deal of charm
in calling upon the adored object
with a black eye or a swollen nose
but, at worst, nothing more serious
than a scrap was in sight
Freeman, whatever his faults,
was not a dopey New York gang-
ster who would knock a rival off
with a bullet from ambush. No,
Freeman was not that kind of a
man. When Eudie came to Locust
Grove Church he saw Freeman’s
car, with the lights extinguished,
drawn up in the yard. Mechanic-
ally he turned his horse and buggy
in the drive, alighted and tied his
horse to a tree.
Freeman stirred with bulky
menace in his car, climbed out and
slammed the door behind him.
The moon, hanging low in the
sky. gave a pale, ghostly light
among the trees. Anyone passing
the road could not see, without
special effort, the vehicles and the
two men in the grove that sur-
rounded the church. Eddie walked
straight up to Freeman and faced
him.
“What's it all about, Big Boy?”
he demanded.
^Freeman had left his hat in the
car—and he could, see a faint curl
in the hair of the other above his
sullen, high-colored face.
“It won’t take me long to tell
you,” Tom Freeman replied. “I’m
not an eavesdropper, and you un-
derstand yourself what these party
telephone lines are. I picked up
my phone this evening and- heard
you talking to a certain party.”
“And of course you stood there
with your ear glued,” Eddie said,
deliberately insulting.
“I listened because it was a mat-
ter of personal interest to me,”
Freeman retorted. “I heard you
make a date to call on this party,
and I’m here now to tell you that
you can’t do it."
“Who says I can’t?”
“I say you can’t. You’ve been
warned that you’re not wanted
there, and as long as her father
is out of the countv I’m eftir? to
was a trifle surprised at the thor-
oughness of Eddie’s preparation,
but he imitated him after a mo-
ment’s hesitation. Eddie held up
his hand warningly.
“You’ve been wanting this ever
since we met, Freeman. There
won’t be any handshaking—this ii
your grudge fight and it’s going
to a finish. Understand? One of
us is going to get licked good.”
“I’m with you to the finish,”
Freeman growled. One moment
they were standing facing each
other with futile fiddling move-
ments of their arms—and then, by
sudden mutual impulse, they rush-
ed together, like two wild men.
with driving fists, with released
hatred and the desire to hurt, to
pound, to beat to the earth.
In a twinkling they had thrown
away all of the slowly acquired
civilization of ten thousand years.
Eddie Regan and Tom Freeman
were as savage as the primitive
men who. perhaps, had fought
clad in skins, on this same strip
of ground ages ago. 1 u. y collid-
ed, recoiled and rushed nark to
each other with renewed fury. No
words sprang from their clenched
lips, only expulsive breathing,
gasps and hissings between the
teeth. Eddie wa3 conscious of a
supreme vigorous condition he had
attained through his prolonged
outdoor labor with the axe; he
could feel his naked fists smash
home with driving impacts Free-
man’s blows caught him and jar-
red him, but his fresh vitality
threw off the shock.
They were now beyond the
point of coherent thought;. they
were unreasoning, as ferocious
as young cyclones in heated* col-
lision. At first it was all a prod*
igal rushing forth of lurionences,
but gradually the early glorious
energy of youth and physical con-
dition was expanded, and they
fought, now, slowly and more »au-
tiously. The superior weight of
Freeman bore down upon Eddie’s
strength when they locked arms
in clinches; it required his full
strength to push the other a^my
and drive desperately for the yaw
while an opening lasted. Fcee-
man’s fists were like huge knobs
on the ends of plunging pistons.
Eddie jerked his head out of a
blow’s path and countered with
a smash that caught Freeman
solidly on the jaw. Whether the
blow hurt or not, Eddie had no
means of knowing — he felt, his
own ribs pounded, the right aide
and then the left. Stepping; in
closer he shot an upper-cut that
snapped the other’s head back,
but hi? man still came in.
