My next move will be to induce judge, jury, and district attorney to present a memorial to the governor, together with proper sworn affidavits touching on the newly adduced evidence; and under those circumstances it seems reasonable to presume that, the governor will do the humane thing." ■Oh, Tony, if you only could!" He laughed softly. "Well, to start, we have the district attorney in a reasonable frame of mind. He will not require an undue amount of convincing. and the trial judge is interested solely in seeing that justice is done. And we will have one splendid advantage in pursuing our new course. Jethroe’s brilliant criminal lawyer will not be present to ridicule and riddle our newly discovered evi dence. to raise doubts in the minds of those former jurymen and raise delicate points of law for the judge to interpret. "If necessary to do so 1 will, personally, or in company with Sheriff Bentley, canvass the county and secure the signatures of every man and woman in it for Hob's pardon, and restoration of his citizenship rights. 11l try to get the county press interested. and perhaps the county officials may consent to write strong letters to the governor. My real aee in the hole, however, is Bentley. He constitutes the Republican Partw in Siskiyou, he knows his power and k’ isn’t bashful about using it—in behalf of a friend. Governors are usually in politics permanently—anD they remember men like Bentley and the power they wield in their communites. Poor old sher'ff! He never will get over the fact that he chased Bob Mason with dogs.” "Oh. Tony, you're such a comfort to me." "I want comforting yon to be my lifetime job. sweetheart! Until I met youlwasina way of being contented with the small things of life. A long spell of illness nuch-as I experienced is apt to destroy one’s lust for competitive effort. And I had no one to consider except myself, my needs were few and simple and I loved my Job. But now—well. I’ve got to go down to the immense and contemptuous world again and start my battle with men." CHAPTER 52 "And must I remain here?” Monica pleaded. “Until 1 can return for you. dear. And yet," he added exultingly. "I’m almost selfish enough to be glad Jethroe will succeed in defeating you. I’ve been worried. I'm so poor and it »eemed you were going to be so rich—” "Hush. Tony darling. Don't be s 'lly. If the money meant that T should be condemned to solitude and heartbreak and loneliness—ls ft meant that I should lose you, I would gladlv give it away. You told me you loved me, Tony, didn't, you?” ‘‘Yes. And I do” And I replied that I loved you, too, didn’t I?" J d have perished if you had not.” Well, that ends the argument, 1 can live in a tent with you, if need he. and be happy.” "Hurrah for our side!

Once Jethroe is out of the running, Thurlow will retire, too, and leave the designing votnii nto twiddle her thumbs .and curse the day she ever mixed up in h gh finance. The situation—the real s'tnation- will then be explained to her: she will be thoroughly disgusted, P 'obably financially embarrassed and in the long run she will sell for what ever she can get out of it. "Than you. Mason, Thurlow, and I will form a mining corporation. Thurlow will finance it—and we ll gamble 'with that, property ourselves. Thurlow will play the game with us because he will know we are on his side and that we control Honey Valley. I tell you. Monica, without Honey Valley in which to impound the debris the giants will wash down from that hill section, that land isn't worth five dollars an acre!" "Oh. Tony, you're so wonderful!” Monica assured him wonderingly. ' "I’m not so wonderful that I count my chickens before they are hatched ’ ho warned the girl. "All we can do is fight with all the weapons at our command and take the blows standing." “I think you love a fight, Tony.” "I love a fight for you." he reminded her. "Adios. mi vida, mi corazon.

Let Jethroe do that.” ♦ * ♦ Only one who has known the sweets of self-sacrifice could have realized the light-hoarl.odness with which Anthony Garland presented in person to Chief Ranger Casey his resignation from the service.

Itnnnded. "Don't yon like the San 'Dimas? You spent two years in the ! t'ocopiih-and a station in the San Dimas Is much to be preferred to the Coeopah.” “I had to slay two yearn in the I’ocopah. 1 had a messy pair of lungs." "Well, you may have them again and ,be forced back into this open air life onto more. Uy resigning now you will lose your seniority ami have 'to start at the bottom again." "I've considered that aspect of the 'case, too," Garland replied seriously. ."However, once a man has made up his mind to burn his bridges behind him, lie should never look to the rear. I His fate Iles before him and in that 'direction he should fa n e.” I "I don't like to lose yon, Garland I dislike very much to endorse my approval on this resignation.” Casey paused, pen uplifted, and bent a shrewd glance upon his subordinate I "Has Monica, Dale got. anything to do with tills rrsgiratlon. Garland?" The ranger nodded. "I thought so,” Casey continued. "You're the third ranger who has found the Tantrum Meadows station an uncomfortable billet because of that girl. I should have warned you not to fall in love [with her -that she looks higher than •|a forest-ranger" He appended his endorsement. "I dare say it is 'embarrassing to have to meet or even talk over the telephone to a girl who has refused one. "Why don't you withdraw this resignation and apply for a transfer? I'll shift you to the June bug station if you ca’-e to go and transfer the , .Tune-bug ranger to Tantrum. He’s thoroughly married and girl-proof.” ' | “Some men run when they’re i licked,” Garland replied with a quiet '! smile. "The Garland tribe dies but never surrenders." He mounted his I horse and. leaving the chief ranger to start after him incredulously, rode hack tn his station. Within two weeks i his resignation was accepted and a • new ranger came to relieve him at i Tantrum. After sending his few effects to headquarters in the Forest Service ■ motor-truck he mounted his horse and rode up to Bogus. When Monica ran i out to greet him he leaned down from i ihis horse and drew her up to him for a kiss and a caress. ! "Well, my dear.” he announced, i "I'm Anthony Garland. attorney-aV - law. again, with my office under my
