CHAPTER XIII.
Wilton carried the dead man Into
his room and laid the body on the bed.
His face was set. like flint. In this ho
traced the work of Bowyer; but the
tool, I^ee Cham bags, was the object
of Jiis immediate vengeance.
Before anything else he must dis-
cover the motive of the burglary.
He opened the safe, which he had
shut, and went through the papers
very deliberately. Ho was astonished
to And that everything appeared In-
tact and just as he had left it.
Wilton could not understand It. He

what had,
Chambers been after?
, He must have known that there was

came up moptlily by special messen-
ger, and was handed out jthe same eve-
ning. It would arrive on the Monday.
Chambers-could not have been afte^
spoil bf that kind.
Wilton looked through JoeV papers
again. ' Everything seemed intact, and
nothing had even been tampered with.
It must have been that Chambers took
fright after the murder.
Suddenly Andersen came running
across the smoking ground, followed
by some half-dozen of the engineers.
The foreman came pahtlng up to the
door of the shack. 1
"The men are crazy drunk, Mr. Car-
ruthers, and they're planning to attack
the office!" he, gasped. "'Somebody's
been telling them the safe's full of
money and that they're going to be
laid off because of the fire,"
Wilton reflected a moment, while
the engineers gathered anxiously about
him.
"They jcan*t open the safe," said
Wiltun. "At least, there's .only one

engineers. "Take four men with you

this," he added, picking the revolver
out of the drawer and handing it to
him.
"Ygu'd better come too, Mr. Carruth-
ers," the man suggested.
"NoT I'll stay here," said Wilton.
"Hurry 1"
The engineer picked four men and
they hurried down the road. Andersen
and two others remained with Wilton.
Hardly had the party left when the
mob came streaming out of the bunk-
houses#oward the office, shouting and
yelllhfc.
Seeing the four men standing in the
doorway, however, they hesitated to
r&sh them, probably In the belief that
they were armed, and stood off, curs-
ing them.
"Speak up!" shouted Wilton. "What
is it you men want?"
The shouts died away to a mutter-
ing. A spokesman stepped forward.

jvxj're going to lay us off because the
companj-'s busted. You'd better hand
it over."
Evidently somebody had been telling
the men that tale. Wlltori was anx-
ious to try peaceful inethods.
"There's no money in the safe," he
answered. "Send a deputation of three
men and you can examine it."
The Hunkles, who for the most part
understood him vetj well, looked at
one another uncertainly. They were
as docile as lsmbs without leadership.
But they had a leader; the outlaw
Tonguay stepped forward out of the
crowd.
"Come along, boys, he's fooling you!"
he yelled. "Smash his head for hlrai
Give them what's coming to. them I"
But he slunk' back into their midst
as the bellowing mob rushed forward.
Wilton noticed that he was Angering
a revolver in his coatpooket. He wait-
ed till the mob was close upon the
shade. He had calculated that sn in-
stant's hesitation would follow, seised
it and sprang into their midst, strik-
ing out right and left and felling a
drunken laborer at every blow. ^ As
Tonguay fumbled desperately with the
trigger of the weapon In his pocket,
Wilton dealt hin^ a smashing blow
thatt knocked him senseless, ft He
stooped, took the revolver and turned
and faced his assailants.
"Now. men," he said crisply. wpv«
told you that you t hall examine the
safe, and I'll keep my word. Three of
you enter. The rest will wait out-
side."^
After a pause three of the workmen
came forward " uncertainly. Wilton
took then) inside the shack, opened thr
safe, door and took out the contents,
package by nackage. ■ - ,v vs
' "Satisfied there's -no money?" he
asked. ^
"I guess that's so," admitted the
leader of the men, reluctantly.
"Then get out," said Wilton, driving
them toward the door.
The three rejoined their companions
and, with sullen mutterlngs, the work-
men lurched away aimlessly, and to-
tully unable to unite on any further
plan for aggression now that their
leader was gone. Andersen and ona
of the engineers picked up tonguay
and brought him into the shack. The
man was still unconscious. However,,
he showed signs of coming to shortly.
"Jules Is dead," apid Wilton quietly.
"Jules dead?" shouted Andersen.
"Murdered. It was Lee Chambers.
He must have been bunging round the
camp. He got into the safe, too, but
was scared away before*he took any-
thing. Come inside!"
At the sight of the dead man on thfr
bed Andersen swore softly,
"He must have been with those two
liquor peddlers," said Andersen. "I
guess they set the fire, all rlghf.Ml
"1 guess they did," said Wilton.
"And I want you to go on to tile next
camp and telephone in to Clayton and
get the police up her£*right away."
"I done It, Mr. Carruthers," said An-
dersen. "You see, sir, just as soon as
the Are began I seen that gasoline on
the engine sheds. And I'd heard, the
men talking, because I picked up a lit-
tle of their language. I kneW there
was trouble coming, and 1 'phoned Mr.
Qua in. He strid' he'd get an ilnglhe
and come right up with some of his
men."
"Well done 1" satd Wilton. "We'll
have this man for them, at any rate."
Tonguay stirred, muttered %nd sud-
denly sat up on the tloor, looking at'
his captors in bewilderment. Wilton
quietly took the revolver out of his
pocket and walked toward him.
"Fm going to ask you g few ques-
tions, Tonguay," he remarked in a
casual tpne. "You'll find it to your ad-
vantage to answer them. Who sent
you here?"
Touguay broke into a short laugh.
"You t'lnk dey tell tlurt to me?" he
sneered. "Jim Hackett don't tell, me
not'lngs. He say you^got de job—you
. do It P
"You came with Hackett; but what
was the game? You were told to sell
liquor round the camp eind make the
workmen drunk and discontented, t
guess you have An Idea pjiom you
were working for, besides Jim Hack-
ett, eh, Tonguay?"
"Mebbe I do," muttered the outlaw.
"I guess you shoot me unless I say Mr,
Bowyet1, eh?"
The parry was effective. "You came
here with Hackett and Lee Chambers
to fire the camp," said Wljton. ,*Lee
Chambers' job was to steal' papers
from the safe while-we were fighting
the fire. You were going to aMet
somewhere.- afterward. Where was It?"
- The man burst into scornful laugh-
ter. "You don't ttttfff me," he jeered.
MI guess you don't Want to be charged
wit' anodder murder, eh?" .
"Do V<m?" ask«|j^\Vllton.
"How's dat? You don't fix no mar
der on me." t j ■ .
"Come here!" said Wilton, taking
him Iyj the arms and leading him to
the door of the bemom.
The moon, slopfngln the west, threw
a flood of light on the white face of
Jules, showing the crushed skull and
Andersen. .
-wljton handed him the revolver.
"You'll guard yoi|r prisoner, ami hand
him over to the police when they ar-
rive," he said.
Then he saw men running toward
the shack, and steppefl outside. It
was the party whom he hgd sent to
the portage.
"They're gone!" panted one of
them
"Gone? WWIrt do you mean?" shout-
ed Wilton.

CHAPTER XIV.
Wilton 'Rides Alone.
■j" He ran down toward the swamp,
followed by the party of engineers.
The hor*es, released during the fire,
were grazing aloiig the edge; they
were wary, however, and would not
let themselves be. approached. For
sotae minutes the tnen made fruitless
efforts to surround them.—
However, Wilton managed to catch
the mane of a big draught-beast
which had been In the front row oi
the grading yokes and, despite Its
clumsy appearance, had tliken the sad-
dle and had a tolerable action. *,

ny ® fnisp on the mane nnd upper lip
than the remainder,. Miqrtliig and
flourishing th^Agels, dashed through
the cordon ahd galloped full speed to-
ward the lake.
, i "We'll be with you in a minute, Mr.
Carruthers!" shouted one of the men
as they went In pursuit.
But Wilton, without answering, had
sprung on the beast's back and. if an '
lng forward, caught the broken halter
and guided it across, the swamp. He
had no doubt that the otitlaws who had
set the fire were responsible for Mob
ly!s abduction and, if the trail lei tip
to Bowyer, as he was sure it weald,
God help Bowyer!
In a couple of minutes he had put
on the saddle^Ahd tautened the girth,
bridled the animal nnd was rldiug hnrd
along the southward trail, unarmed
Meanwhile the rest of the party
spent a fruitless half-hour trying to
catch horses. At length, after a con-
sulfation, they hurried back to the
camp, collected a few more Canadians
and Americans, and started out after
Wilton, leaving a half-dozen to keep
the Workmen In check.
In the shack Tonguay stared apa-
thetically at Andersen, who sat with
the. revolver in his hand, keeping
watch-over his captive. t
4 "You t'ink l kill dat feller,' eh?" he
demanded after a while.
"I dunno, my friend," answered An-,
dersen. "If you did. I guess you'll
swing for It, all right."
"See here: .Urn Hackett tole me to

"See here! Yon Vet me go!** yelled

gruffly. "That'll be enough. Set down

"You lift! I tell you I didn't do dat!"
