The autumn breeze fan his fevered
brow as with Fastening steps he speeds
across the bridge to South Missoula. A
weird sound breaks upon the stiffness
creating a sudden chill that sweeps over
him.. He pauses and with ain eyes
endeavors to pierce the darkness. Above
the glittering stars twinkle with cheer
less ceaselessness at the crescent moon,
whose silvery sheen reminds him of the
last dime played on the wheel. The pass
ing wind soughing through the tree tops
brings ghostlike recollections. Below
him is the shadow of the island, the
scene of Louis Raddigan's tragic death.
Does his spirit haunt the vicinity seek
ing for the body that floated lifeless
down the stream? He looks into the
rushing waters and pictures the up
turned, passionless face, the staring eyes,
the gaping mouth, the b~edragg]ed hair.

ward. gurgle like the expiring sounds
from the throat of a drowning man. An
awful sensation comes over him; a fear
full apprehension caused by the turbid
streams. His trembling limbs carry him
reeling ftfully forward, but again is
he arrested by the eery voice. The
island is passed safely by and lays be-
hind him like a fallen leaf; but before
him, over which he must go, is the grew
some spot where the stark body of the
buffalo herder was found in the long ago.
A nameless horror overcomes him as he
hangs limp upon the railing, staring into
the restless river, seeking a solution of
the suggestion which benumbs his brain.
The cry of a bird of passage breaks
harsh upon the midnight air and rouses
him from his intense study. His face
Drlghtens as a ray breaks through his
mental gloom. He passes his hand across
his perspiring forehead and pushes back |
the dark hair as though to brush the
from his brain. Relieved of
hunting fear his faculties once more re-
sumo their normal sway, and as he rec
ognizes in the sudslike water of the |
rushlng river the tangible suggestion |
that had floated phantomlike, he MUIR
