"I think not," went on the same clear voice; and the guttural cry of fear rang out simultaneously with the sharp crack of a revolver. "My God!"

And with that cry, which seemed to ring through his brain, there came the power of movement to the Kid.
In that fine air, with all the warmth of the noon hour, there was no difficulty in going to sleep. Truth to tell, Tom and Harry had tramped so far that forenoon that they were decidedly tired. Within sixty seconds both "cubs" were sound asleep. "One o'clock!" called Rutter, sitting up and consulting his watch. "Fall to, slaves! There is a big batch of work awaiting us.

"Oh, I don't think he will," drawled Tom, making a hand signal to the leading chainman to step a little more to the left. "I hope not, anyway, for the noise of revolver shots takes my thoughts away from my work."

The words came in hard, gritting tones through half-closed lips, and the tightening of his throat muscles. This phase of the Rutter blood was dangerous. Kate was startled. Harry must not lose his self-control. There must be no misunderstandings on this the happiest night of her life. "Yes," she said sweetly, with a gracious bend of her head "but I do want to dance with Mr.
Horn Murdoch Warfield all of you come out here! What I've got to say to Talbot Rutter I want you to hear, and I intend that not only you but every decent man and woman in Kennedy Square shall hear!"
