had made the circuit-and the bushes
still stood between.
But Mason was not discouraged. lie
did not expect To catch the man without
trouble. The unknown would have been
Il very cheap sharpshooter indeed if he
had allowed himself To be oyertaken 50
easily, and Mason felt pleased because
the enemy matched against his skill and
courage seemed altogether worthy of
aim.
lie began the second circuit OF the
bushes, more careful now than ever not
making the slightest noise. lest his enemy
should hear and take warning. When
he was half way arou.d, the sound OF
shots TO both left and right rose and he
knew that his comrades were in battle
with the other sharpshoOters. But they
were too far away TO be seen, and he did
not take his mind from his own particu
lar part Of the work. 1t was one OF the
merits OF Mason that he knew how 10
attend TO his own business.
lie was as patient now as the Indians
whom he initiated, creeping forward and
then turning back. seeking To entrap his
wary foe. But the man seemed TO re-
turn with him every time and still re-
manned hidden. Mason could not tell
whether his enemy was endcavoring TO
escape or pursue. He laughed noise
lessly at the thought that he himself
might be pursued while he was pursuing.
Well, il did not matter. 1t merely made
the test OF skill all the more interesting.

He heard the notes Of the music again,
louder and clearer than ever and then
more rifle shots. The skirmish was FLAIR
ing into increased activity. He listened
TO it a moment although he never doubt
ed that his comrades would win But
he trusted that they would not win too
soon, as he wished TO finish his own
affair without help.
Then he turned suddenly and went
swiftly back on his own track, catching
a glimpse Of dark figure around the
curve Of the bushes. He raised his rifle
and fired, but not quicker than the other
man. The reports were simultaneous,
and a bullet clipped the clothing on
Mason's shoulder. Whether his enemy

picket OF ours should be there now"
But Mason did not wait To hear the
cthcer's grumbling. He went mechan-
ically about the business upon which he
had been ordered, shouldcring his rifle
and falling in with the party Of twenty
who were to clear the bushes. He was
n good man for such work, a master of
woodcraft, cool, cautious and afraid of
nothing.
The disturbance in the camp was only
momentary. The soldiers were accus-
toned to such trifes. A few rifle shots
fired from ambush could not annoy for
more than five minutes men who had
gone through many great battles. Nor
did the thought Of his task lay heavy up
on the mind OF Mason. Accustomed to
such duties, he would perform il present
ly and return to his place with his com
radcs 1t was merely mechanical.
They made a wide circuit around the
valley and approached the hostile Hill
from the rear. Then they lay close 10
the earth and listened for sounds Of
their enemies, but they heard nonc-only
the distant hum OF their own camp and
the notes OF a Christmas hymn rising in
the cold night.
WED better separate here and sur
round them" said the commander Of the
little troop. And the men spread out
like a fan, Mason taking his way up
little gully. He was creeping on hands
and knees like an Indian. All the in

he said:

Mason
The man sprang TO his feet and ran.
But Mason eveled his rifle, calling 10
him 20 stop or he would fire. and he
added 10y way Of precaution that he could
not miss SO good a target. The man sank
down again in the snow, uttering
despairing cry and Mason stood over
him once more, still holding his rifle for
use if needed They were ont of the
shadows now, and the moonlight fell
upon the face Of the captive. Mason saw
his features for the first time, and when
he looked he uttered no threat. no excla-
nation, but stood perfectly still for
moment, his face turning deadly pale.
Then he lifted his rifle again.
"Oh, Dan! Dan, don't kill me-" cried
the man, falling at his feet in terror
and grasping the snow in his hands.
Masons body was rigid. Only the fin
gers Of his right hand moved. and they
played restlcssly with the trigger OF his
rifle. He looked straight at the abject
figure kneling befor him. He thrilled
with powerful emotions. and triumph
was strongest among them. His enemy
was delivered into his hands. God was
good and intended TO see that he secured
his just revenge. How could he doubt
