for ignition supplants the usual mag

ignition sources at his command-the

swamp I have a canoe" He picked
up the gan and box and began forcing
his way through the dense alder along
the odge OF the stream. I'D like to
stay and murder those dogs" he called
back. but It wouldn't be policy"
For a time the crashing of their
bodies through the dense growth of
the swamp drowned all other sound.
Five minutes later Nell stopped on the
edge of a wide bog. The hounds were
giving fierce tongue in the forest on
their left and their nearness sent
Nathaniel's hand to his pistol. Neil
saw the movement and laughed.
Don't like the sound. eh?" he said.
I'VE get used to 1t on Beaver island.
They're Just about at the place where
they tore little Jim Schroeder to

Schredder's bones with muck out

She was too pretty for a fisherman"
He started on, but halted suddenly
with upiifted hand. No longer could
they hear the baying Of the dogs.
They've struck the creek" said
Neil. 'Listeni"
After an interval Of silence there
came a long mournful howl.
"Treed-treed or In the water. that's
what the bowling means. How Croche
and his devils are bowling now!"
A curse was mingled with Neil's
breath as he forced his way through
the bog. Twenty rods farther on they
came to a slime covered bit Of water
on which was floating a dugout ca
noe. Immense relief replaced the
anxiety in Nathaniel's face as he
climbed into 1t. At that moment he
was willing to fight hundred men
