understood, for the light touch of her
hand was on my cheek, and ! felt il
tremble. Somebody gave me water-I
was choking-and my burning Inns
shrank and cracked beneath tbe cool
draught. l could hear Jimmy Ellis
muttering to Buck Hanson. ana Han
sons replies.
Look out, Buck. here's rut-Nr.

STEADY, it is-hold up his legs-Mr

Crack! spoke Blylock's rifle, and then
I heard Bucks nasal drawI; "A stun

scairt hat tn deth-I suspicion it's the
pork they're after"
Throw that pork into the woods
Jimmy" said Blylock. "weW be in be-

is-lay him down and throw that pork
aWay-there may be a panther among

Il SEE TO you. A1r. Blylock. seq I,
throw stuns, it's jest as good" replied
Buck, placidly; and I was lifted again,
fore and aft.
IT'S Incredible srumbled Blylock:

twenty years in these woods. and [

Crack went BlyIocks rifle, and 1
heard whine from the thickets on the
left.
"Thets the panther-let him hev it
again" said Ellis.
Again the rifle cracked.
The darned cuss.' drawled Buck;
shoot again. Mr.. BlyIOck,'
No need" said Ellis-'listen, There
he goes lopin' off. Hear him snarl!"
Hit, I guess" said Buck, and we
moved on.
Once I heard Buck complain that a
particularly bold lynx kept. trOtting
along the trail behind, "smellin' and
sniffin' almighty close to my shins." he
asserted. and there certainly was an
awful yell when Blylcck wheeled I'm his
tracks and fred. I heard Ellis laugh
ing, and Buck said, "haow them lucise
wees du screech!"
"Worse'n a screech OWL" added FL
lis.
That is the last thing I remembered
until 1 woke in my bed in the Rosebud
Inn.
The bandage was still or my eyes-I
felt too weak to raise a hnger-and the
rest of my body seemed stiff and hard
as wood. I heard somebody rocking in
a rocking-chair and I spoke.
Il am here" said YsOnde-but her
voice seemed choked and unsteady.
What time is it?' 1 asked, incoher-
emily.
Half past eleven said Ysonde.

my last effort until they brought me a
bowl of beef broth with an egg in il,
