The actions of Terr; Willett'i life had always been dictated by Impulse, and what was Impulse but a .flip of the coin In the mind? Reaction, which had been chasing him a long time, nearly caught him as he stood outside Che West man sion with the taxi waiting. Reaction! when a man rests on his oars e moment to get his bearings before be bends to them sgaln. Tommy Speede had leaned over his shoulder and sobbed: "I can't beat this game and you can't either. You'll see."

"Arc you free-lancing too?" "Yes," said Wlllett. "taking my Jobs where I fln1 them." "How about taking a regular Job with me? "I've got a Job. Under contract Revolution &uu circumstances knocked It In the head temporarily, but I'm going back to see It through. I'd like to borrow Corrlgan." "Corrlgan? One of my engineers! oh, John Corrlgan. So you need him." "Like Us have Bucky, but I don1 want him to lose bis Job with you.' Tyndall reprossed a smile. "I don't think losing a Job eve: makes much difference to Corrlgan What s on your mind, Terry?" "Job on the Palva River. It's stinker and I need help." "Corrlgan will be glad to help you And anybody else you want" "Thais all right Corrlgan and I will see It through. I'll return him tc you maybe a little dented, but a fen more dents won't hurt Bucky any.' He got up. "Don't rush off, Terry." Wlllett laughed. "Funny. The governor said tb same thing. Don't rush off. Wha else Is there to do? I've had enougl of this country already." Tyndall arose and came srount the corner of the desk. "Terry, mm jVJiIfej "I can't beat this game and you can't eltherl" and fresh," the cry to a life left behind. Women! Strange beings, women! Soemed to get Into a man's, life, niade It mora complete. Even hln father had lived only half a life after Vlo had traded her lite for Terry'a birth. And so Terry had stopped ' for a moment, wondered, and flipped a coin. Pull Harrington or the Palva. And when the taxi had dropped blm at Union Station he'd simply shrugged. "It came tails, boss. Satisfied?' TTE WAS In the Tyndall Construe. 1 tion and Engineering Company offices at noon the next day.

Famous works of engineer ing were perpetuated In plaster models and long framed pictures scattered throughout the offices.. Terry Wlllett being Terry Wll left asked to see Gregory Tyndall himself. He'd heard his father speak of him. And he wouldn't see anybody else. They finally sent In bis name, Surprisingly, Tyndall saw him right away. For all the power thai imanated through the channels he controlled, his face with Us youthful smile and Intent blue eyes was kindly. "So you're Terence Wlllett?" he smiled, shaking hands. "You and your father did some work for us down at Juarei. How la your father? 1 knew him well a long time ago." Wlllett told him In one short sen. lence how his tether was. Tyndall didn't say anything for a moment Then he bent forward and switched a buizer on the call box and left or ders not to disturb him. He snapped the butter back. "Toll me about it, Terry." "Fever " "Fevor." Tyndall shook his hesd slowly. "What an end for Laurie. He could have bocn tops here If he hadn't doclded to free-lance and beat bis way around the world. "My father sat In this chair ahead f me and I was groomod for It from the tlmo I could walk, but It Laurie Bad stuck he'd have beaten me out In srlte of that A great executive, four father. I'm awfully sorry, son." want you to come back whon you're through down there." TTE TUT a hand on the young -" man s shoulder. "You have a place In this engineering world among the leaders, the place your father could have had. I respected and admired Laurie, but It ever a man wasted bis lite and his talents, It was be. Don't make that mistake, son drift from engineering camp to engineering camp with no steady goal, You've got too much. I know It" ' "I havon't anything," said Wlllett, "but a Job to do.

"Where is youi father?" "Carteret." said Wlllett "Tn Vir ginia, near Washington." "I'm glad It's there. Lovely old place, Isn't It?" "I guess so," said Terry. "Lots ol trees and things. Well, good bye, and thanka again." Tyndall saw blm leave the offlci with that long easy stride of his. He'd come for something, got It. and gone; nothing else seemed to mat ter. Tyndall thought It was too bad. A lot ot Lawrence Wlllett tn that man executive and organising power, latent force, engineering genius probably and need of a bal ance wheel. Be a aharae If the only way he went to Carteret again was like his father maybe' aomebody would bring him back too. Terry stopped on the way back to hla hotel to invest heavily in a couple of cables. He sent one to Drake, the National Coffee Com pany's Proplonolre agent and thi other to Bucky Corrlgan. Corrlgan's whereabouts stumped him. It might be a toss-up between the Kcdmonta Bar and the city Jail. He finally sent It In car of th American Consul, directing him to forward It to the Tyndall office dow there. (Copyright.
