Two days later Lorry Kershaw
came into the bank. Balxson, with
♦naiiy protestations of sympathy for
^iie loss of her father and regret
that since his absence from Valley
Center had militated against his at-
tending the funeral, begged her to
be seated and inform him in what
maimer he could be of service to
her. To his amazement the'girl look-
cel him over coldly.
"You should be sorry for father’s
death" she shot at him. "You killed
him "
• "I? My dear Lorry, how can you
say such a thing?”
“You wrote him a letter and he
Knew you were going to close in on
him. You knew he had a weak heart
i-that—that shocks were bad for
Ujm—yet you shocked him. You
wanted to. You bought up our mort-
gage and called it. and our notes.
You’re a two-gun man, arqnrt you?”
• "My dear girl, permit me to ex-1
plain.. Your father s notes had been
renewed four times; they were over-
due and the interest was in default,
and the superintendent of state
banks had jumped me about'them
ipore than once. I forgot your fath-
er should be spared shocks. The law
forces us to protect the money of
dur depositors.”
“Granted. But you bought our
mortgage. Why?"
' "For an investment and to save
it from falling into the hands of
your enemy, Nate TiChenor.” This
wa s fast thinking and Babson felt a
thrill of pride in his cleverness.
Her dark flashing eyes bored into
his soul. "I think you’re a contem-
ptible liar."
II' paled with anger, but con-
trolled himself. “Yon will, of course,
understand why I do not argue with
you. my dear. You are under a strain
-overwrought."
"You say you bought the mortgage
as an Investment. If I pay up the
"The estate is land poor and cow
poor and it hasn't any money. It's
practically Insolvent.”
He threw up Ills hands and smiled
wearily. "How like a woman to ask
such favors in the fac- of such a
statement,” he signed, then bright-
ened suddenly. PHowever, we might
strike a happy .ccmprcmi.' .. I was
in*.nested to note recently that ycur
father made you n deed of gift to
four thousand acres in the low r
part of Eden Valley."
She nodded,
"I would be glad to entertain a
proposition to buy that land from
you, Miss Lorry. As agricultural land
it is worthless, as grazing laud it is
vc ry |x>or, but as a hunting and fish- i
ing preserve, it is excellent. I know J
a man who would be willing to pay’
you a fair price for that land.”
' IIow much?"
' Well, I’m pretty certain I can
unh ad it cn him at- ten dollars an
acre. I'll expect you to sell to me
for nin:, of course. I’ve got to have
n profit."
"And if I agree to sell to you at
thru price, what?”
"That will enable you to take up
your father's unsecured notes and
rehabilitate your credit at this bank.
In icturn I’ll renew your mortgage
.for three years,",
"At 6 per cent," she insisted.
"Can't possibly,” h? defended.
"Is that your.l'inal decision. Mr.
Babson?"
"Absolutely. I dislike to appear
harsh, but business is business and
if I permit sentiment to—” ’
"Please spare me your sUrotyped
and hypocritical maunderings," the
girl interrupted angrily. "I’m not a
lool and I see through you as if you
here a window Make out a satisfac-
tion of mortgage sign it before a
notary public and give it to me. In
return I will give’you a bank cash-
ier's check for the .exact amount
due. Hand me those unsecured notes,
marked Paid,’ and you shall have
another bank cashier’s check for
the amount of Uicm, with interest.
There are the checks"—and she
tossed them on tile table before him.
He stared at them in frank amaze-
ment. "Why, where.did you get all
that money?" he demanded.
"That's none of your business,
sir. You called upon my father to
pay up in five days or stand suit.
He's dead, but I’m obeying orders.
Your bluff’s called. Nobody lias ever

Part of the 250 r II fl< Id workers of the East Texa field, the largest oil producing area in the world, arc
shown having th» Texas eapitol building after appearing before Govirnor Miriam A. Ferguson and her hus-

mrnl against a legislative hill which they maintained would ransc independent reliuerh to close down and
throw them cut of employment.

At three o’clock he went home,
.suffering from a violent headache,
due solely to futile rage. But he was
net at all in danger of a nervous
celiap.se now, for the fight was in
tit; open at last and he drew a sub-
tle comfort from that knowledge.
He knew now where Lorry Kershaw
had gotten all that money. Undoubt-
edly she had sold her land to that
mysterious power edmpany. Well, he
was routed in the lower end of the
Pan. but lie would go to the attack
again at the upper end of the Han-
dle, And despite the fact his alter-
native proposition would save ' the
district the cost of erecting a hugh
impounding dam, Babson would
gladly have abandoned it, for it ear-
