Hl The ery was taken up and In a
few moments people came running
from all dhsections. The dry wood
was burning like paper, and by this
time the interior was a mass of
Hasten. The drug store loungers
pdured forth, {leaded by Steve
Bentley. They brought buckets of
water and began a futile attempt
to pot out the fire. But it had
made too much headway by now
to be diverted by such a trifling
matter as a tew bucketfuls of wa-
ter. Some of the men attempted
to enter the stables, but they were
beaten bock by the onruahing
From where he stood Hank could
scarcely be seen. He was watch-
ing. dejectedly, the last remaining
vestige of his former life disappear
before his very eyds. But as he
looked he started with sudden In-
terest. His hands clenched,‘/-he
set his Jaw and strode toward the
■tab lea
The object of Hanks interest
was Steve Bentley, who was now
eiaadlni; to one side and watching,
with a smile of satisfaction, the
burning building. He had got over
his tern? of the afternoon, and had
resumec, to all outward appear-
ances, ids calm and equanimity.
Inside, hough, there were still a
lew little qualms of conscience.
But as he thought of the success Of
•Ms plans his face lighted up with
Joy. Bob’ out of the way—this lire
ruining his rival’s father—what
more could anyone ask. It cleared
Iks way of all obstacles, as he saw
it.
He did not notice Hank until the
older man had stopped beside him.
When ha saw who was there he
Jnmped nervonsly. But under
Hank’s silent stare he realized that
be most not give way, and he
forced himself to regain his corn-
idea. Hank,” he smiled
"The insurance will
give you a new start. You can
build a garage now.” He laughed
loudly, bat sot particularly happi-
ly.
Bnt Hank’s expression did not
change.
•Did you know that ft was Bob
who was going to drive today?”
the horseman questioned sternly,
pausing tor an answer.
Steve’s eyes shifted uneasily, and, .a
Bo tried to look interests in tho to
Are and forgetful of the question.
HMTALLMEIIT—THIRTY-TWO
But Hank was In no mood to bo
trifled with. He took a step to-
ward Steve. A small boy, tearing
the voicee and sensing a fight,
came up and stood beside Hank,
listening.
"Answer me!” Hank command-
ed. “Did you know Bob was go-
ing to drive that car?"
Bat Steve continued to look away
and keet> as calm as possible un-
der the circumstances.
“Sure, Steve knew it,” the boy
beside Hank piped up, anxious to
be part of the battle. “He was in
the square when Bob drove in yes-
terday.”
Steve whirled, slapping the child
on the face. But as he did so Hank
leaped forward and gripped tho
bully by the throat, pushing him
backward. As the two struggled
they came closer and closer to the
Are. Now they were silfcoaetted
black against the red firelight.
People watching the conflagration
gave it up for an added attraction
and ran to see the fight.
, Steve, with an effort, tore him-
self loose from the older man’s
grasp. But Hank was quickly
upon him again, jabbing short
blows to the face, forcing his oppo-
nent back further and further.
Steve shrank, throwing his arms
up to shield his face. But Hank
planted a couple of stomach
punches and forced Steve to drop
his hands. As soon as -his arms
were down Hank started in on his
face again, banging, hammering,
pounding. Not a chance for Steve
to make headway—and Steve, be-
ing a poor fighter, would not have
known how to take any advantage,
even if there bad been any to take.
{lank might have been some few
years older than the young man,
i)ut his early training stood him in
good stead. A little soft he might
be now, but he was fighting for
something more than material
hatred. He was paying off some;
thing for the eota that he loved*
and he was venting "his feelings
against all the things that had
caused him suffering.
The crowd, laughifig and Jeer-
Ihg, especially at Steve, circled*
yoifnd the two combatants, egging
them on. And the slapped boy
danced a jig as he watched his tor-
mentor getting tho worst of it For
Steve was rapidly giving out Like
a battering ram the horseman was
coming at him, forcing him to re-,
treat at every step. The crowd*
slowly gave way as Steve backed
towards them. At last, after an
especially forceful blow, Steve Al-
most fell, but he caught himself in
time, .turned tail and ran as fast as
he. could.
As Hank stared after the depart-
ing figure the walls of the stables
crashed in with a resounding thud,
scattering burning timbers In every
disection. The crqwd jumped back
to safety. Little sparks filled the
night air an<l wound swiftly up-
ward, burning black In a few mo-
ments. Now all that was left of
the Armstrong tradition and all
that it stood for was a glowing
mass of charcoal, with dying flames
leaping np, dying down, leaping up
more slowly and finally dying out
to a shimmering orange mingled
with black, char-red beams.
Hank looked and saw the ruins.
Well, this! was indeed the end.
Broken, weary of life, longing for
peace from his tormented thoughts,
he gazed sadly on the wreck of his
very being. Like time, it had pass-
ed and would never be again. Gone
was -the work jot years; gone the
hopes of a lifetime. With the old
it had passed to make way for tho "
new. Now nothing more remained
for Hank Uo do—nothing bnt pass
with tho old and allow the new to
have full sway.
For he belonged to the old, and
to old things, he reflected^ oadly.
He couldn’t change.«3H)e spirit was
gone out of him. He had lost hm
zest for living his passion for the
things that life had to offer. He*
could not step ont now and renew
his ,lost youth with all the eager-
ness and vivaeity common to
youth. He could never become an-
other person, and that is what he
would have to do if he were to go
ofl into the new decade. He was
no longer bitter. He realized now
that time and progress change all
things; that it was his own fault
for trying to halt them. He was
simply resigned to whatever might
happen.
As the fire died out the crowd
began to disperse, returning to
their homes. The streets gradually
gaVe -up their people and became
deserted. Hank remained standing
near the ruin of his last remaining
fort. Nliit his thoughts were in-
terrupted by the “Toot toot” of an
automobile born. He turned slow-
ly, looking at the car that drew up
beside him. Then Rose jumped
out and came running over to his
side.
He stared at the girl, fearing bad
news of Bob, yet anxious to hear
something—anything. But Rose
was smiling.
“Bob is going to be all rlgb‘t. Mr.
Armstrong.” Rose put a hand on
h# horseman’s arm, “and lut wants
■ see yon."
