alfred had accused bven of this and the sullen swede had recused to kay word la his own defense alfred had dismissed him and the swede had prom ised revenge not until ho had saved op enough money to buy utrlng of trucks for himself had alfred learned from truck driver the true reason that svcn had staggered tliat last day of work in reality ho hud been too sick lo stand ifo was coming down with typhoid which laur kept him in bod with raging fever for several montli alfred had tried in vain to locate svcn to right the wrong ho liad done tho other but svcn had left seattle and it was impossible to learn hla whereabouts at that time alfred was making good money hauling for tho chinook mlnfcd on tho western slope of tho cascade mountains of washington the mines had now closed down und tlie odd jobs ho ould secure from time to time wens hardly sufficient justification for em ploying uuj number of truck drivers ho already liad alfred hasltalod anally turning to tho grimfaced youth facing him 111 hlro you svcn but not for tie reason you think im hiring you because did you on injustice in tho pact and want to make up for it im not hiring you because of any fear of your threats the others lips curled tut it any way you want to save your own feelings said svcn sarcastically but you know that you flred me because you were afraid id get your job you know now and yoij

floured you were going to bounce me anyway alfreds eyes cooled and cleared sven any tune cant look anjono in the eye honestly ill go out of business think what you wont of me personally but if you cast any aspersions on my position as employer no he decided to wait when the break came he would fight in the open with whatever weapons he had at hand ho would beat svcn in fair fight or in fair fight ho would lose baileys other big problem was secur ing tho truck work on tho cascade dam samuel mcdcrmott lean wiry blue eyed scotchman was superintendent in charge of tho oibraldar construction

saying were getting along very well tnon later perhaps but not now ill lot you know hp did not let alfred know however week after anxious week passed and still mcdcrmott would not glvo his do clsion the dam had risen to half its height there won tho possibility tho oibraldar could complete tho dam with out hiring additional trucks alfred was desperate ilalns set in then tho heavy per sistent

and 111 do my work so you cant find any other excuses to ilro but im going to brnak you understand alfred laughed mirthlessly jie won dered if lie liad been unwise in hiring his enemy tlicn he shrugged as tlie other passed through the door dismiss ing the matur for the time being svcn thornton kupt his word he worked exly and lute bcaplto uuj fact that the swede had threatened to wreck the biuhicos alfred could not fight down an admiration for him the big fellow could back truck up to the brink of cliff to unload los into tlie mill pond and know exactly how rfar be could go without endangering his own lift and the truck ho knew no tet svcn did know bitter undying dwuke he never hw employer alone that ho did hot say under hi breath im going to break you bailey lm going to break

diverting tho stream near its source into another river the water now rose continually in tho half completed basin straining against tiio wall of tho dam rising until nearly ten feet of water was caught in tho bowl then fifteen and anally twenty alfred braved uw mountain roads to drive to tho dam in his little car he interviewed mcdcrmott but the scotch man still insisted that hvt own truclot could do tlie work he was not so con fident of tills however as ho had been on any previous occasion alfred drove back disheartened his preoccupation and worry may liave had something to do wjth his skidding on steep downhill road tlie car over turned and landed on iui tilde pinning alrrcdbcneath tttrtunatoly motorist came by lialf an hour later and extricated him from the wreckage his left arm
