and seeks the solitude of the forest,

and strangle the life out of him.
One started upon the subject of "In-
dian DEVILS" the deputy game warden
never tired of telling weird. strange tales
of .le dongs of the unfortunate crea

dozen men who had been killed by the
devils, and each one had been
st1angled as he slept, the marks of the
slayer's fingers having been found on
the victims throat.
While Indian Jim" was yet speaking,
the two dogs, which lay curled up near
the fire, began to manifest signs of un-
easiness, and, raising their heads from
the floor, shifted the air with trembling
Whines of distress.
"What ails them dogs?" began Daulot.
Seems like they"
A wild, unearthly scream, seemingly
too loud and shrill to issue from human
throat rang through the forest, and out
over the frozen lake, filling the men
with terror and bringing them to their
feet with a jump.
Scream is Heard Again.
Once again the scream. like the last
despairing wall of a mortal doomed to
everlasting torment, tore through the
still night air, and went echoing back
over the lake, after having struck the
tall, dark pines of the forest.
There was something uncanny, creepy,
In the cry, and the dogs howled dismally
and tried to crawl under the hunks in
their fright.
"Them dogs wouldn't act that way for
the cry of any animal" said Daulot. as
he pointed to the two cringing brutes.
whose wide-opened eyes shone green
with terror.
following us!" whispered Goldman, as
he grasped his rifle and started toward
the door.
I'm going to try shot at it. any
way"
And he cautiously opened the door of
the little log cabin and stepped out into
the night before his companions could
put out hand to detain him.
Again came the horrible scream---this
time from the rear of the cabin-like the
wall of an infant, the long drawn cry of
a cat and the angry snarl OF hungry
beast, all joined In one inharmonious dis
cord, which send the cold chills chasing
one another up and down the spines OF
the hearers.
For a moment all was silent. Then
came the sharp crack of Goldman's 1920
rifle and a second later the young man
rushed back into the cabin, his face as
white as the snow outside, and showing

and barred the cabin door. "It's-an-

Discussed in Awed Whispers.
Then the three men drew close to the
fire-for the night had grown cold-and
in awed whispers discussed the mystery
until the morning came.
With the daylight returned their cour-
age, and they determined to make a
search for the Indian devil" which
Goldman declared he had hit, for he had
seen it drop when he fired. he said.

were the peculiar tracks the men had

place, not toward the rocky ledge this
time. was trail of crimson drops, which
grew fainter and fainter as the party
advanced. rifles at ready.
The tracks led them through the woods
to the shores of the lake, and there. at
point nearly half a mile from the cabin,
they found the vicim of Goldman's bull

Gently the men lifted the slender form
and carried 1t back to the ca bin, where il
was prepared for rude burial. When
the clenched hand was forced open there
in was found a broken doll. fashioned
from wood and painted In an odd way.
Tears streamed down Daulot's face
when he saw the doll and for a few mo-
ments he stood and gazed i'll silence at
the dead woman.
To his companions this doll meant
nothing. but to Indian Jim" it meant

Search FOR an offender.
One day in years gone by an Indian
brought word to Gus Daulot, one of the
deputy game wardens-that is not his
right name, but it will answer the pur-
pose-that Wah-sha- big sho, a member
of the Leech Lake band. was roaming
through the woods in the Goose Lake
country, killing deer and moose out Of
season and hanging the carcasses in
the trees, where they could be easily
reached.
AS the red man who made the report
was an enemy Of Wah-s ha- big-s ho it
was certain that he was telling the truth,
so Daulot, better known as Indian
Jim'-mainly because he is not an In
dian, but French Canadian-determin

grumble because no arrests had been
made by the deputy.

"Anv chance for a scrap with the III

me is that they have not gone on the

Goldman, whose experience with In
dams was limited to the knowledge he
had of the wooden figures in front OF the
tobacco shops in his home city-for he
was only in the north on q visit-refused
to be silenced, however, and continued
his talk about wanting chance to shoot
at an Indian until Daulot threatened 70
leave him behind If he did not subside.
On reaching the Goose Lake district
plenty of traces Of the Indian hunter
were discovered.
Three neatly dressed deer and moose
were found at different points, and that
they had been hanging for some days
was evident, as there were no tracks In
the snow near them.
h was three or four days since snow
had fallen, and as the white particles
had hidden from sight the tracks OF the
hunter, it must have been nearly week
since he had been In the neighborhood.'

at night.

II ought to know what it means, but
I'll confess I'm stumped."
The. party camped on the shore or
Goose lake, near an abandoned Indian
village. The weather had been fairly
warm. although there was considerable
snow on the ground, 80 the three men
spent the time in prowling about the
.neighborhood, examining the deserted
tepees. wondering where the red men
had gone, and searching for Wah-sha-
big sho.
In the soft snow one day they found
peculiar track, resembling to some extent
the print of a human foot, clad IN
cumbersome moccasin.
The prints were not made by the In
dian for whom the deputy game warden
was searching. for it was known that he
wore a pair of agency boots, with big
nails in the heels. instead Of m0ccasins.
As the track circled around the camp
and led to rocky ledge east Of the lake,
the .party had no doubt that watch was
being kent kept upon them. but for what
purpose they could not imagine. and the
mysterv surrounding the tracks caused
them much uneasiness.

An Accident.

While working in-the C. & c. Sat
urday night Joe Ivy had an experience
which he will not care to have repeated.
He was working in a raise and just
after blasting stepped on a plank near
the top. The force of the explosion
had broken it and 1t gave away under
him. A rope was hanging i'll the raise
and as he was falling. with great pre-
sence of mind, he threw his arm around
it and held on. He was going so fast
that his arm and side were all skinned
by the rope rubbing against him. In this
position he fell about forty feet, and es-
capped serious injury although he was
very sore.-Enterprise.
