he resumed his chair and gestured
towards another. Hut John did not sit
down. He stood there, staring hard at
his father's partner.
“ Someone In Kampfest tipped Miss
Richards off to the fact that I hadn't
dared use my i.-'her's name when I
struck her for a Job, I was let out
yesterday, a bit discredited r*
“ Well TO be d—<1!“ breathed Cor
bel and John's temper flared.
"Forget It!" he snapped. "I’ m com

do as much with me! I blundered
Into a mess over yonder. I found out
that a lot of desperate things were be
ing done In my father's name. We’d
had a little difference. Tom and 1. and
I welcomed the chance to hit back at
him. I hadn't been on the Job long,
though, before I realised that what
was being dene wasn't the sort of plan
he'd follow or countenance. Some
body else was behind It. screening

“Good lord, man! And you're In
sinuating that I know something
about—"
“ Know! Know? Why. I heard you
make threats to Miss Richards. Just a
moment before 1 tossed you out of her
office In December!"
The other swayed a bit and the flush
of temper yielded to the paling of
fear.
"Tea! I thought so !" John mut
tered. “Let's come clean with each
other. Corbel! From now on, let's
tight in the open!"
"Fight? That what you're here for?

John pondered and a hard smile
flickered about his Ups.
“Not unless it's forced, Gorbel. I'm
here . . . on guard, maybe In the
Erst place. I'm going to stick right
here In Kampfest and keep my eyes
and ears open.
If unexplainable
things keep happening to the Richards
outfit. I'm going to take on the chore
of explaining 'em ! If Ellen Is let
alone to make a go of the Job—which
she can do now with a fair break—
you and I’ll get along splendidly; if
not . . . then there'll be a war, and
you’d better believe It!"
Gorbel summoned a sort of laugh.
“ Sir Galahad, eh?"
“ If you choose. We understand each
other, 1 guess, and all that's left Is for
you to r've me a Job."
“Job. After you've made a play
like this?"
“Of course a Job. You’re advertis
ing for men; you're hiring men every
day. 1 can't just mount guard over
you and do nothing else; besides, I’ll
h’ ve a better chance of bearing what's
going on If I'm on the payroll. Or
are yon afraid to have me around?”
Corbel’s mouth twitched.
“Listen here, John,” he began.
“You’ve been guessing at a great many
things; you’ve gone off half c o ck e i
What you heard me say to Ellen Rich

“ Explain? Who the devil's asking
for an explanation? I'm not Interested
In what you'vegot to say,Gorbel Where
and when do I answer the advertise

pers for men?”
Conflict In those eyes before him
then! Fright and caution and craft
flickered In their depths, and out of
these came a faint gleam, as will show
In a man’s eyes when Inspiration
sweeps him.
He shrugged. “ Very well. Have It
your own way. If you want to go to
work as a common laborer, good. But
I don't know what's open. You might
ask McWethy. the mill foreman."
“ Fair enough. Gorbel 1 That's the
first decent tmpul.se you seem to 've
had since 1 came In. I’ll find Mc
Wethy. Good morning!"
He walked towards the door without
so much as another look.
When he hud gone I'aul Gorbel took
the desk telephone In his hand and
pondered a moment; then called the
mill foreman.

The girl, Marie, came slipping Into
the room as he hung up. Her eyes
were wide.
“ My gosh. It worked 1" she whis

“ Worked I” Gorbel laughed mirth

"What's the matter?"—approaching.
“ Did he guess where the lelter came

“ If he did he neglected to mention
