CHAPTER XI. I Never Did Like to Be Beaten.
EPHEN O'MARA fonnd IlarUwleli Elliott luiichlijiJ alone in tho East Coast com pany's main Morrison ofHce. a big unpalnted sli.iol; that stood iml' lost In a maze of high pllcil tics, nii.l- way between tin- sawniills nt the rive.' edge antl the li;j,it snarled network nf ¦witches conrerKinv? on ono reddl.sli ¦treak of steel that lancred Into tho north.

In many way.s the president of tln^ East Coast company reminded Ste\ e ot Caleb Hunter, even though tlicrr coald be no two things more in con¬ trast than the latter's calm and coii!- fortable bigness and Elliott's tliln uin' wiry and extremely nervous oxtori'v It was a similarity due entirely to tl;. fanatc honesty of hoth men-suih hif esty as makes of every attenipt nt (li> dmnlatlon an assured nonsurcess. AnJ Bliss Sarah had never anticli>ated lier brother's clumsiest finesse with greater «aae than did Steve sense that after noon the weight of worry beldnd his •mployer's first effort at Jauntiness He nodded hopefully, it seemed.
"Something else gono wrong?" Steve aaked. "Or ase you going to tell mi* that Mct,ean is still having trouhh? with that curre of his?"
"No," he repdicd. "No, we're got th.;;: Ial4, 'Or at least prnotically so. No, it'i not the work itself. You know tho llntt few miles at thie end: afford pret tr plain galling. We agured on that or we wouldtft etand any chance of UnlflblaK the J<ib.    And we are quite

nicely ahead of oar schedule eo far. Bat have you—I was wondering If you. .by any chnnce, have noticed any signs of discontent in your own squad at Thirty Mile?"
Blllott leased himself back into bis ekalr at the finish of the question. Ke- mcnantlr bm ierked a thumb in alUui^
mrltatfon toward a piatc or sand¬ wiches. It indicated most clearly the ¦tate of bis appetlte-that gesture— and BtevG could not help but smile a little as he refused.
"No more than the usual disturb¬ ances," Steve answered. "I have more or less trouble holding them— some of them—over the week ends. Of course. Rnt then that's always to be expected. They aren't the sort of men that go to make up the general run of construction stpiads. One of my main reascjiis for wanting them was the fact that they were rivermen. hardened to swamping and white wa¬ ter work nnd thnt kind of thing. In a pinch they're good for twenty-foui' hours a day over stretches that wouM tako the heart out of most g.inns. I don't know of anything that can hoat I a lumberjack on a g/^iueeze joh oM<'e I you get him to realize thiit he's ui I against long od(l.<. It's this ten hour -6 ' a d;iy thing nnd too much rrady nione\ every pay (hiy: it's a town too tempt Ingly close 1 lint makes them a—a trille tomporauieulal, Mr. Elliott. Is thnt What yon mean?" Elliott pouilered for a moment. "Tliat iMitiiely cltipllcates wbat Mu- Ij(>an s;iid just a day or so ago." On any other lips Elliott's deliberate nent ness of jihrase might have sonndcil solemnly funny. "Thoroughly logical. of (onrse—thorotighly possible. Anil yet somehow it doesn't fit tht! case. We've had the usual Monday mornlns; vacancies rPdit along, as yon know. but the delliHiueuts always turned up before the r> o'clork whistle blew or at least reported Tuesday mornini:. But this Is the ond of the week, an'i we're short right this inlnulo very close to thirty men. They aren't com¬ ing back, Mr. O'lTara. On tlu? con¬ trary, tbey continue to dribble a\va>. a few every day. And, thoiic^h thcy appear to do nothing hut talk tliclr tlBie away In the saloous In tho lowii- end of tbo town, they seem to hnve Just as much money to spend as they did when thcy wore getting tbeir time checks from ns."
"Wbat sort of talking?" Steve want¬ ed to know.
"That's Jnst it," Elliott exclaimed. "Their talk leads nowhere. I went down and attempted to flnd out wbat their grievance might bo, but they cli ise up like clams whenever I come ¦ ^ihhi earshot. Tbey stnre at the cell- • '. rub their chins and laugh whou tlie'.'o's nothing to laugh at Tblsmoni- liK.'. however, I flnally convinced Mc¬ Lean that something was radically wrong. So he t(X)k one of them who had Just decided to quit and pinned lilm up against the embankment—but
TOO know McLean and his methods— he shoved his Jaw up within an inch of the other's nose and invited him to talk, and-well, he found out enougb to make him begin to worry too. Somebody's been talking to them, Mr. O'Mara. Somebody has put the fool notion Into their heads that this strip of railroad will mean tbe end of all lumber operations In tbls country—the old time river drives, of course. And some of tbem are beginning to believe, whoever was resjNjusible for that state¬ ment
"You know and I know how absurd It Is. We know that this road will mean work for overy riverman in this section, as often as he wants to work. But it Isn't going to help us any if tbey can't see it that way. It Isn't going to replace the men who ipiit. I've been deliberating one iiolnt. Don't you snp- pose we might import a recular squad of constnictiGn men now, before It's too later'
"It's too late now," Steve told him. his words i>one the less final for all that tbey were absently quiet. "It was too late tbe day we begnn opera- ttons. And yesterday at this Hme 1 wouldn't have given much worry t" this particular brand of trouble They're an odd lot. They're the hard¬ est working, hardest living crowd of big men that ever fail."'d entirely tv) grow up. But since yesterday—sinc»^ yesterday—who. did you say. was ro sponsible for that stateinent. aa ymi eall it?"
"I didn't say. And if I—if 1 had to guess"— The hand passed across hta e.ves now. "O'Mara. ii> ynu know- how deeply Mr. .Vltiiieslcy and nvysell' are Involved in this rrospef tV"

"Of course." Elliott answered quick¬ ly. "Of course—of course!" Tie seem¬ ed groping for a fresh beginning, then gave up suddenly all attenipt at cir¬ cuity and blurted It out much ns though be had Ih-ed with the thought too long to endure it longer alone.
"I'm In up to my last dollar," he stated. ".\nd Ainnesley-wiiy, ,\ln nosley wniildn't havi! a roof over his head If we failed in our obligations: You must know as well as I do why tbe banking intei'e.sis took our jiaper to those amotiiits whi'h niade it possi ble for Us tn ilri\e Ihe first spike."
Wlien lie I'aileil tn go on Stevc under¬ stood that tlie last seiiten'e liii<l lieen a rpiesiinn.
".Mr. .\lIison, I su|iposo." Ilis voi<c became ulNTly impei'sonal. "M'ithout doubt you niean Mr. .\llisnii,"
"They would have lau'.'hed at us," the older man came back instantly. "And. what Is more, they did I They wouliln't touch tlie proimsilion uniil Allison came in with us. And then- hut you know what Dexter Allison has done already In thi.s cninitry. I don't know wliat ho started witli. I do know tliat all that Ainnesley and I had scraiird up lietw(>eii us Innked like a shoestring to bini.
"^V'e <'ouldn't move until he. if his own accord, expressed his entliiisiasni for the plan and asked for a share in the holiliii'-'s. You know porlia[is how ho can !.iu!.'h too. Well, he l.'iuglieil that way and confessed that we liad Ju.<;t beaten him to p. He said it would tap a gold mine- this 'strtp of steel.' as he called it He even told us that he'd parallel our road witb a com¬ petitor. Jokingly to be sure. If we hadn't tied up tlie only available and praclicalile rlsht of way.
"ITe came In. Ilo opened up, merely through his own name and all thero is behind it. loan possibilities for whicii We might have struggled uselessly the rest of our lives witliout his help. Be¬ tween us .Mr. Ainnesley and I just man¬ aged to hold the balance of stock con¬ trol and—and that's hnw deep we are In, Mr. O'Mara."
Both nven sat and smoked, each avoiding elaborately tbo other's eyes. After a long pause Elliott cleared his throat laboriously.
"This morning," be continued slow¬ ly—"this morning I am In receipt of a communication from Mr. Aiunesley himself advising me that nnother right of way has been applied for for a sin¬ gle track road here In the north. The gossip which chanced to come his way was rather obscure. Little could be learned about the wholo affair save that It was being put forward with a view to tapping the ore and timber lands all the way to and beyond the border. But as nearly as he could as certain tbo southern terminus of suet a road would seom to be about—about at the month of that valley southern most in the Reserve company's timber holdings. Rather a remarkable choice for a rnilroad terminus, Mr. O'Mara. wouldn't you say so?"
"Do you mean that they've thrown out your earlier application for Just such a grant?"
"That would be a rather harshly deflnlto way of putting it" Elliott smil ed wryly. "Ours Is apparently just ta. bled—oh, tabled pending certain Inn- material changes In the form! You asked me a moment ngo—or did I offer to guess?—who might be responsible for the report which Is costing us our men. I wouder If I need to tell you who Controls this new northern route?" "Maybe you've boon telling nic." Steve came back coolly. "You have already mentioned"— i
"Wickersham!" Ilardwick Elliott cor-| rected.  "Wickersham—that is. tlirough ' allied interests which he repre.sents or contnls.    O'Mara, I doulit if I would | even Insinuate this to any one else; I liaven't even Intlnialed It to .Vinnesley ; s yet.    Wi ¦kersliaiu is reputed to rep- scut hu:.e moneyed foreign interests. It bave you ever stopjied to wonder wlic^her he ..light not represent big lo¬ cal intercuts as well?    I'd Uke to ask you—whit lU) you think?"
"Yostenlay." l^tcve answi^rod, "yes¬ terdav -well I collliln'f ..^..—-•¦— t.... wtiat \ nilsbt havt thought twenty- four hoitN hiick.

We were going through to the border too. .\nd if some one else is bettln-,' that we don't if some one eitte ia betting that we can't yank a trainload of logs down to tills end of tbe line before the 1st of May, tluit dm'sn'taltfr our caso any, does It? Even ilii.'Ugh we suspect that some man is playijig us to lose, do we have \o know exactly who lie is?"
Slowly, liui very surely, the older man's fjice bci;aii to suiootU.
"Once or twico," he 8ta;cd. "I've ehought.t) anticipate you. piiliaps bo caufie 1 have it on you a little, as ihey say, in the matter of years. I'm not going to attenipt It any more, for I thought that this conversation wouid be ttt least a surpris<> to you. You sit there ami take it \ery ipiiciiy for a man who bas been badly startled."
"Pat Joe has been iireachiag It for a month." Oddly enoui.ii. Stephen O'Mara chose that poinl at which to laugh softly. "And I, for a month, have boon ridiculing hlin. That's one of Fat Joe's pet diversions, you know. When all other exi Itement falls Joe invariably falls back upon an imaglna tlon too totally vivid to be wasted on technical things. I laugbed at bim un¬ til last night   Do you—but, of course.

"Knew Ills father." Elliott answeie.l sucdnclly. "Know hini weil. (iool blood, goiMl brains, big Icart!    Wh.' ."
And then for the scennil time that day Steve riialed the salient points of that episode wliich li.ad ended witii the lirst ^ray streaks nf reiuriilng day. During the re'-ilal the expressions whi'h cliascd .¦•cioss Elliott's face were as varied as tli(!y were full of concern. "Tlii'ii 1 wasn't merely hysterical, was 1?" he brocihd after Steve hai finislicfl. "Who--who did you say you thoui-iit iniglii be lieliiii'l the man who would have had your jilans had it no( lieen for Mr. Iieverean?" "I didn't s:'y." replied Steve, tind for lie lirst tli"e sinec his entrance tliere ¦.¦.a< mii'tli i'l iilo unison of llieir Iati'_ii- ter.
"If aii briii.;s us back to the point f'lviri will h wo st;!il"d." the younger man went mi win n tlioy were grave again, 'il's a plain enough issue so fnr as We are concerned. We've got to be at tlie mouth of that lower vaile.- Iiy May. V.'e're toing t" bo! And as I see it. w.-sfiny: time ani energy in —shall wo call it sleuthing. Mr. Elliott? —won't help us much. V.'e thought tiiat lack of time and the general na¬ ture of this i-nutitry were gning ti? be handicap enough. I'.ut now your mon ey is in aid I —I never did like to be beaten. Can't we let It stand like that, at least nntll some ono else makes a plainer move? We know the cards we hfild. If otiici-s cure to sit In periiaps we'll all cnme to a showdown next spring at Thirty MUe. It'll be easy cnoiii-ii to explain Just how wo dii it. Aliliis based on veiled olifiosltion wou!d not interest the Reserve peoiile mueh if we left their timber there to rot. * * • And I'm trying not to over¬ look any bds, Mr. Elliott."
Hastily the iron grny niau thrust his hat back from his foreheid. lie came to his feet and crossed and clappci] one hand upon Steve's shoulder.
".Next May!" he liarked. "O'Mara, I'm glad you camo down thi.=! mornine. I've been currying a lot of those idea-: aronnd in my liead until they had be come nighiniarish. P.ut I'm through now. Y'ou won't bear me croak again. I staked what I h,id on you months ago. I'd do It again this minute. What's the odds, after all, who it is that's playing ns to lose? It's only tho fact that somebody mny be li.Liit ing us that needs to occupy our atten¬ tion. I'm dono worrying. Do you hear? But what ahout those men who are quitting us? You are sure It would be unwise to Import labor? It's cheap¬ er, you know."
