Maybe m ey're just using him to handle local contracts and connections that outsiders couldn’ t put over. Mountain people are pe culiar. They’ re suspicious of a stran ger but a home-talent crook can do quite a lot with ’em. I reckon Wal lace thinks he’ s in.” •‘Let me see that map again,” WiUs said. He had been a maker of maps, Virgie remembered. He an chored the colored sheet with an inkbottle and a slide rule and stud ied it. *T filed an injunction to keep them off this morning,” Virgie said. ” FUed it for Tom, of course. It may not work. They may have the judge sewed up. Tom does what I tell him usually—but I don’ t always get there quite soon enough. 1 went over at daybreak—but I should have gone yesterday.” “ They’ d been there ahead of you? But surely he wouldn’t listen to them?” “ I don’t know. It’ s worrying me.” She breathed wearily, like a spent runner. “ They sent a lawyer to scare Tom, late yesterday. They told him that Cragg was filing suit against him for fifty thousand dol lars* damages. Perhaps they can do it, in law—I haven’ t looked into i t That’ s not the point. They gave Tom a good scare—and then they of fered to settle. So he signed some thing—and he doesn’ t know what he signed.” “ So everything you have done for him may be lost? Doesn’ t he under stand that you’re looking out for his interest?” “ You couldn't understand a moun tain man, I’m afraid. Up to a cer tain point they’ ll listen. Beyond that —they’ re rampant individualists, as young Daniels says. Tom has al ways been a helpless old body—Da vid looked after him. But no moun tain man believes that a woman could know more than he does.” “ Is there a blue-print of Pruitt’ s tract anywhere?” “ It’ s here in the safe. Do you want it?” “ I want it—and I want to see the land. Could I have a car and some one who knows the way to go over there tomorrow?” “ I’ ll send you a car—and a driv er. What do you want to see it for? Even if 1 keep those men out of it, it will go back to Tom. I’ ll never timber it.” “ I think,” Wills said, “ that 1 was once lost in that region. The out line on this map is somehow famil iar. It gives nle an idea. I’ d rath er not talk about it /till I’ m sure of it.” ’ “ Most young chaps,” Virgie was dry, “ want to talk first and do some thing about it afterward.” At home that night Virgie stretched her slippered feet to the fire and faced her daughter reso lutely. “ I said you were going!” she stat ed grimly. ‘‘Who else can I trust? This is more important than your silly personal prejudices.” Marian stood stormily. staring out a dark window. “ How do you know it is impor tant? Because he says so! Oh, Moth er—can’t you see that all this Wal lace Withers business is just a co incidence?

They didn’t want to work under Wills and they resented his Sherlock- ing around the mill. You won’ t be lieve me—but Lucy thinks the same as I—and so does Stanley Daniels.” “ So—you’ ve all got your heads to gether and decided that I’m a senile old fool, eh?” “ Mother, I didn’ t say that. Please—” “ I don’t ask much from you. Mighty little. I’m not asking now— I’ m telling you. You’ d better start at seven. Andrew will have, the car ready.” Marian sighed. “ I’ m not trying to be tiresome. Mother. I want to help. If only you would see—” “ I’ ve seen enough and heard enough. I’ m tired.
