"Certainly they can. But I shall have to wait until they are completely matured and I have become completely blind; then a specialist will perform an operation on ray eyes, and in all probability my sight will be restored for a few years. However, I haven't, given the matter a great deal of con sideration. And T am about ready to' quit now. I'd like to, In fact; I'm tired." "Oh, but you can't quit until you've seen your redwoods again," Uryce re minded him. "I suppose ifs been a long time since you've visited the Valley of the Giants; your long exile from the wood-goblins haa made you a trifle gloomy. I'm afraid." John Cardigan nodded. "I haven't seen them in a year and a half, Bryce. Last time 1 was up, I slipped between the logs on that old skid-road and like to broke my old fool neck." "Pal, It wasn't fair of you to make me stay away so long. If I had only known—if I had remotely suspected "You'd have spoiled everx thing—of course. Don't scold me, Bon. You're all I have now, and I couldn't bear to send for you until you'd had your fling." His trembling old hand crept over and closed upon his boy's hand, so firm but free from signs of toll. "It was my pleasure, Bryce," he con tinued, "and you wouldn't deny me my choice bt sport, would you? Re member, lad. I never had a boyhood; I never had a college education, and the only real travel I have ever hid was when I worked my way around Cape Horn as a foremast hand, and all I saw then was water and hard ships; all I've seen since Is my little world here In Sequoia and In San Francisco," f "You've sacrificed enough—too much —for me. Dad." "It pleased me to give you all the advantages I wanted and couldn't af ford until I was too old and too busy to consider them. Besides, It was your mother's wish. And you have enjoyed your little run, haven't yout" be concluded wistfully. "I havfe, Dad." Bryce's great hand closed over the back of his father's neck; he shook the old man with mock ferocity. "Stubborn old lumber jack!" he chlded. John Cardigan shook with an In ward chuckle, for the loving abuse his boy had formed a habit of heaping on him never failed to thrill him. , In stinctively Bryce had realized that . tonight obvious sympathy copiously expressed was not the medicine for hJs father's bruised 'spirit,; hence he elected to regard the letter's blindness as a mere temporary annoyance, some thing to be considered lightly. If at all; and It was typical of him now that the subject had been dlsciJAed briefly, to resolve never to refer to It again. "Tomorrow morning I'm going to pat a pair of overalls on you. arm you with a tin can and a swab, and set you to greasing the skldways. Partner, you've deceived me." "Oh. nonsense. If I had whimpered, that would only have spoiled every thing." "Nevertheless, you were forced to cable me to hurry, home." "I summoned you the Instant 1 realized 1 wns going to need you." "No, you didn't, John Cardigan. Tou summoned me because, for the first time In your life, you were panicky and let yourself get out of hand." His father nodded slowly. "And you aren't over It yet," Bryce con tinued, his voice no longer bantering but lowered affectionately. "What's tfce trouble. Dad? Trot out your old paalc and let me inspect It. Trouble tow* be very real wfcen It gats my •Wtar mtt* «,* "It Is, Bryce, very real Indeed. As I remarked before, I've lost ybur heritage for you." He sighed. "I waited till you would be able to come home and settle down to business; now you're home'; and there Isn't any busi ness to settle down to." Bryce Chuckled, for tie was Indeed far from being worried over business matters, his consideration now being entirely for his father's peace of mind. "All right," he retorted, "Father baa lost his money and we'll hove to let the servants go and give up the old home. That part of it Is settled; and weak, anemic, tenderly nurtured little Bryce Cardigan must put his turkey on his back and go Into the woods looking for a job as a lumberjack. . . Busted, eh? Did I or did I not hear the six o'clock whistle blo,w at the mill? Bet you a dollar I did." "Oh, X have title to everything— yet," "Bow I do have to dl? for good news! Then It appears we still have a business; indeed, we may always have a business, for the very fact that it Js going but not quite gone Implies a doubt as to Its ultimate departure, and perhaps we may yet scheme a way to retain It. If we can save enough out of the wreck to Insure you your customary home comforts, I shan't cry, partner. I have a profes sion to fall back on. , Yes, slrree. I own a sheep-skin, and It says I'm an electrical and engineer." » "What!" "I said It. An electrical and civil engineer. Slipped one ovef on you at college, John Cardigan, when all the time you thought I was having a good time." "Bu-bu-but " "It drives me wild to have a man sputter at me. I'm an electrical and civil engineer. I tell you, and my two years of travel have been spent study ing the Installation and construction of big plants abroad." "My dear boy! And you've got your degree?" "Partner, I have a string of letters after my name like the tall of a comet" "You comfort me," the old man answered simply. "I have reproached myself with the thought that I reared you with the sole thought of a lumberman out Of you—and when I saw your lumber business slipping through my fingers " "You were sorry I didn't have a profession to fall back on, eh? Or were you fearful lest you had raised the usual rich man's son? If the latter, you did not compliment me, pal. I've never forgotten how hard you al ways strove to Impress me with a sense Of the exact weight of my responsibility as your successor." "How big are you now?" his father queried suddenly. "Well, sir," Bryce answered, for his father's pleasure putting aside his normal modesty, "I'm six feet two Inches tall, and I weigh two hundred pounda In the pink of condition. I have a forty-eight-inch chest, with Ave and a half Inches chest-expansion, and a reach as long as a gorilla's. My underpinning is go6d, too; I'm not one of these fellows with spidery legs and a barrel-chest. I can do a hundred yards In ten seconds; I'm no slouch of a swimmer; and at Princeton th£y say I made football history." "That Is very encouraging, my boy— very. Ever do any boxing?" "Quite a little. I'm fairly up in the manly art of self-defense." The old man wagged Ms head ap provingly, and they had reached the gate of the Cardigan home befftre he spoke again. "There's a big buck wooda-boss up In Pennington's camp," he remarked irrelevantly. "He's a French Canadian Imported from north ern Michigan by Colonel Pennington. I dare say he's the only man In this country who measures up to you phys ically. He can fight wltji his fists and wrestle quite cleverly, I'm told. His name Is Jules Rondeau, and he's top dog among the lumberjacks. They say he's 'the strongest man in the county." He unlatched the gate. "Folks used to say that about me once," he continued wistfully. "Ah, If I could have my eyes to see you meet Julea Kondeaul" The front portal of the quaint old Cardigan residence opened, and a sliver-haired lady came out on the porch and hailed Bryce. She was Mrs. Tully. John Cardigan's old house keeper, and almost a mother to Bryce. "Oh. here's my hoy!" she cried, and a moment later fpund herself encircled by Bryce's arms and saluted with a hearty klas. As he stepped Into the familiar en trance-hall, Bryoe panned, raised his head and sniffed suspiciously, like a bird-dog. Mrs. Tully. arms akimbo, watched him pleasnrably. Temell something," he declared, and advanced • tttm down the ball for apotbar sniff; ■ ■**... • n. • ■ • then. In etact Inflation of a foxhound, he Rare totyjue. and started for the kitchen. Mrs. Tully, waddling after, found him "pointing" two hot black berry pies which had a few minute* previously been taken from the oven. He was baying lugubriously. *Tm still a pie-hound, Mrs. Tally, and you're still the same dear, thought ful soul. How many did you make 7" "Two." . i "May I have one all for myself, Mrs. Tullyt- you may, my dear." 1 "Thank you, but I do not want It for myself. Mrs. Tully, will you please wrap one of those wonderful pies In a napkin and the Instant George Sea Otter comes In with the car, tell him to take the pie over to Colonel renn lngton-'s house and deliver It to Sumner? There's a girl who doubtless thinks she has tasted pie In her day, and I want to prove to her that she hasn't." He selected a card from his card-case, sat down and wrote: "Dear Miss Sumner: "Here Is a priceless hot wild-black berry pie, especially manufactured In my honor. It Is so good I wanted you to have some. In all your life you have never tasted anything like It. "Sincerely, "Bryce Cardigan." Some twenty minutes later his un usual votive offering was delivered by; George Sea Otter to Colonel Penning ton's Swedish maid, who promptly •brought it ,ln to the Colonel and Shirley Sumner, who were even then at dinner In the Colonel's line burl redwood-paneled dining room. Miss Sumner's amazement was so profound that for fully a minute sk« was mute, contenting herself with scrutinising al ternately the pie and the card that ac companied It. Presently she handed the card to her uncle, who affixed his pince-nez and read the epistle with deliberation. "Isn't this young Cardigan a truly remarkable young mau, Shirley?" he declared. "Why, I have never beard of anything like his astounding action. If. he had over an armful of American Beauty roses . from his father's old-fashioned garden, I could undertand It, but an Infernal black berry pie! Good heavens!" "I told you he was different," she replied. To - the Cotyntl'd amazement she did not appear at all amused. "Bryce Cardigan la a man with, the heart and soul of a boy, and I think It was mighty sweet of hlnr to share hla pie with me. If he had sent roses, I should have suspected him of trying to •rush' me, but fact that he sent a blackberry pie proves that he's Just a natural, flmple, sane, original cltl- "I Told You He Was Different." Zen—Just the kind of person a girl can have for a dear friend without incurring the risk of having to marry him." The Colonel noticed a calm little smile fringing her generous mouth. He wished he could tell, by Intuition, what she was thinking about —and what effect a hot wild-blackberry pie was ultimately to have upon the value of his minority holding In the Laguna Grande Lumber company. • •••••• Not until dinner was finished and father and son had repaired to the library for their coffee anil cigars did Bryce Cardigan advert to the subject of his father's business affairs. "Well. John Cardigan," he declared comfortably. "Suppose you start at the beginning and tell me everything -right to the end. George Sea Otter informed me that you've been having trouble with this Johnny-come-lately, Colonel Pennington. Is he the man who has us where the hair Is short?" The old man nodded. "The Squaw creek timber deal, eh?" Bryce suggested. Agnln the old tnsn nodded. "Tou wrote me all about that." Bryce con tinned. "You bad him blocked which ever way b«> turned—so effectually blocked. In fact, that the only pleas ure he "has derived from his Invest- j ment since Is the knowledge that he owns two thousand acres of timber with the excluslre right to pay taxes on it, walk In it, look at It and admire It —In fact, do everything except log It, mill it; and realize on his invest ment It must make him feel like a bally Jackaffr." "On the other hand." bis father re minded hlni. "no matter what the Colonel's feeling ou that score may he, misery loves company, and not until 1 had pulled out of the Sqnaw creek country and started looting la the San iT-SSiliL ,JJ lEsiVk.a... .. . THE ALAMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM,N. C. V Hedrln watershed, did I realise U»at f had been considerable of a jackass myself." "Tee." Bryce admitted, "there can be no doubt but that you cut off your nose to spite your face." Ills thoughts harked tack to that first season of loggias In the San Hedrln, when the cloud-burst hnd caught the river filled with Cardigan logs and whljled them down to the bay, to eras!) through the log-boom at tidewater and continue out to the open see. ,- - - •*- " * The old man appeared to divine the tregd of his son's tlioughts. "Yes, Bryce, that was a disastrous year," he declared. '"The mere loss of the logs was a severe blow, but in addi tion I had to pay out quite a little money to with my customers. I was-loaded up with low-priced orders that year, although I didn't expect to make any .money. The orders were merely fo keep the men employed. Ypu understund, Bryce! I had a good crew, the finest In the country; and If I had shot down, my men would haVe scattered and —well, you know how hard It Is to get that kind of a crew together again. Besides, I had never failed my boys before, and I couldn't bear t!ic thought tof falling them then. Half the mills In the country were shut down at the time, and thei* was a lot of distress among the unemployed. I couldn't do It, Bryce." Bryce nodded. "And when you lost the logs, you couldn't fill those low priced orders. Then the market com menced to jump and advanced three dollars In three months " "Exactly, my son. And my cus tomers began to crowd me to fill those eld orders. I couldn't expect them to suffer with me; my failure to perform my contracts, while unavoidable, never theless would have caused them a serious loss, and when they were forced to buy ejsewhere, I paid them the difference between the price they paid my competitors and the price at which they orglnftlly placed their or ders with me. And the delay caused them' farther loss." • He smoked meditatively for a min ute. "I've always been land-poor," he explained apologetically. "Whenever I had Idle money, 1 put It Into timber In the San Hedrln watershed, because I realized that some day the railroad Would build In from the south, tap that timber and double Its - value. I've not as yet found reason to doubt the wisdom of my course; but" —he sighed —"the railroad Is a long time com ing!". John Cardigan here spoke of a most important factor In the situation. The erylng need of the country was a feeder to some transcontinental railroad. By reason (ft natural barriers, Humboldt count? was not easily accessible to the outside world except from the sea. and even this avenue of Ingreqs and egress would he closed for days at a stretch when the harbor bar was on a rampage. With the exception of a strip of l?vel, fertile land, perhaps five miles wide and thirty miles long and contiguous to the seacoast, thelieavlly timbered mountains to the north, east, and south rendered the building of a railroad that would connect Huiqboldt county with the outside world a pro foundly difficult and expensive task. "Don't worry, Dad. It will come," Bryce assured his father. "It's bound to." "Yes, but not In my day. And when -it comes, a stranger may own your San Hedrln timber and reap Aie re ward of my lifetime of labor." Again a silence fell between them, broken presently by the old man. "That was a mistake —Jogging In the San Hedrln," he observed. "I had my lesson that first year, but I didn't heed It. If I had abandoned my camps there, pocketed my pride, paid Colonel Pennington two dollars for his Squaw creek timber, and rebuilt m? old logging road, I would have been safe to-day. But I was stubborn ; Td played the game so long, you know—r-I didn't want to fet that man Pennington outgame me. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and be- sides, I was obsessed with the need of protecting your heritage from at tack in any direction." John- Cardigan straightened up in his chair and laid the tip of his right Index finger In the center of the palm of his left hand. "Here was the sit uation, Bryce: The center of •my palm represents gequoia; the ends of my lingers represent the Han Hedrin timber twenty miles south. Now, if the railroad built In from the'south, you would win. But If it built In from Grant's Pass. Oregon, on the north from the base of my hand, the terminal of the line wOuld be Bequ»ia, twenty miles from your timber in the San Hedrin watershed!" Bryce nodded. "Ih which event," he replied, "we would be in much the same position with our San Hedrin timber as Colonel Pennington is with his Squaw cifeek timber. We would have the comforting knowledge that we owned It and paid taxes on Jt but couldn't do u dad-burned thing with It r "Bight ynu are! The thin* fo do. then. as,J viewed the xltnartort Bryce, wn* to acquire a body of timber north of Sequoia and be prepared for either eventuality. And thin I did." Silence again descended upon them; and Bryce, gazing Into the open (Ire place. recalled an event In that period of hi* father** activities: Old Bill Henderson had come up to their house to 1 inner one night, and quite sud denly, In the midst of his soup, the old for had glared across *t bfs host and bellowed: '"John, I hear you've bought six thousand acres" up In Township nine. Gobi* to log it us hold it (or invest ment T "It was A food My." oartlfcfc* had replied enigmatically; "so I thought I'd better take' it at the price, I sup pose Bryce will log It some day." •"Tien I wish Bryce wasn't audi a boy, John. See here, now, neighbor, ni Yess up. I took that money Pen nington gave me for my Squaw creek timber and put It back Into redwood in Township nine, slam-bang up agqlnst your holdings, there. John, I'd bul|d a mill on tidewater If you'd sell meaalte, una I'd tog my timber If " "I'll sell you a mill-site. Bill, and I won't stab you to the heart, either. Consider settled." "That's bully, John; but still, you only dispose of part of my troubles. There's tw'elve miles of logging-road to build to pet my logs to the mill, and I haven't enough ready money to make the grade. Better throw In with me, John, and we'll build the road and operate it for our Joint Interest." "I'll not throw lii with you, BUI, at my time of life. I don't want to liars the worry of building, maintaining, and operating twelve miles of private railroad. But I'll loan you—the money you need to build and equip the road. In return you are to shoulder all the grief and worry of the road and give me a ten-year con tract at a dollar and, a half per thous and feet, to haul my logs down te tidewater with your own. My mini mum haul will be twenty-five million feet annually, and my maximum fifty million " "Sold I" cried Henderson. And it was even 'so. Bryce came out of his reverie. "And now?" he queried of his father. "I mortgaged the San lledrln tim ber Id the south to buy the timber It the north, my son; then after I com menced logging Iq my new holdings came several long; lean years of famine, the markot dragged In the doldrums and Bill Henderson died, and his boya got discouraged, and —" A suOden flash of Inspiration llluml nated Bryee Cardigan's brain. * "And they sold ort to Colonel Pennington," he cried. "Exaatly. TTw> OWonel took over my contract with llenderson v s com pany, along with the other assets, and It w«s Incumbent .upon him, as as- to fulfill the contract. Fat the past two years the market for redwood has been most gratLfylng, and If I could only have gotten a maximum supply of togs over Pennington's road. I'd have worked out of the hole, but " "Be manages to bold you to a mini mum annual haul of twenty-Jive mlltlaa feet, eh?" John Cardigan nodded. "He clalsM he's short of rolling-stock—that wrecks and flres have embarrassed the road. He can always And excuses for falling to spot In logging trucks for Cardigan's logs."
