that clare county is stil within the
Jurisdiction of his department. despite
the action OF the board az supervisors
of that county in establishing game
preserve and prohibiting the killing of

ment is concerned we shall pay utterly
no attention to the boards law"
There is much discussion up at the

local matters are concerned, was one
of the last acts passed during the ses-

discover where they were carrying on
their illegal distuling. and Mary had
known for some time that Jake En-

the suspicion of his friends toward the
fne-looking stranger known as sim
Symons, who had recently come among
them.
Symons, in his ready, friendly way,
had made friends with her, and he
often came to the little cabin to see
her. She had warned him of his dan
ger, but he had carelessly told her not
to worry.
Now, as she slipped softly down the
walk TO the shed, her heart beating
fast and hard, her only fear was that
she would not be able to save the
brave, fearless young follow who had
won her heart. She heard the low
mutter of voices, and kneeling close to
