life" declared the president of the
League of American Sportsmen. Pa
He is a recognized authority ON the
subject of American game and de-

perhaps because above the clanking OF
the vehicle and the clicking Of the
shod heels her voice arose in scolding
tones at regular intervals.
Once the Dream Lady rebelled, and
said: "Oh, mother, please stop. l am
old enough to understand" Then
there was silence,
The horses felt the GOODNESS OF the
morning, and were mettlesome. Their
hoofs rang spitefully on the frost
hardened roads, and they tugged at
the bits until Sanders tough little
arms ached with the persistent pull.
They surged against the lines or
jumped as If frightened away from
familiar objects. The drivers legs
Strengthened out like small pillars, to

day II didn't seem to hold well.

breath and gave a quick jerk. The
horse felt that Sanders was nervous.

swung over the brow and down on the

Sanders, as the off-horse suddenly
broke into a run. Sanders foot struck

put on winter caps of wilderness and
the mornings were cold. Another sum-

So, with the flight Of warmth, the
stage-driver came to the mine one
morning and found the Dream Lady
and her mother waiting for the down
stage.
Mccarthy was trying to look uncon.
cerned, but his eyes were very deep
and lonely. The Dream Lady had a
veil over her face, and no longer
laughed as gayly as when she came
to the hills for the summer Only her
mother talked-talked volubly and
sharply and increasingly as Sanders
took them aboard.
The superintendent stood awkward
ly by the wheel. Some day We shall
meet again. Sanders heard him say

a word and looked toward the noun

well.
The man did something very un

dented. He walked all the way around
the team, tightening up a strap OIL
testing buckle here and there. Then
when the others were busy adjusting

he said: Sanders, my boy, drive very
carefully down the Turn Again grade

Sanders couldn't remember all that
happened when he thought 1t over
afterward, because II took SO long.
There came to him vaguely the
screams of the Dream Lady's mother,
regrets that II he had to have run
away II should come on this, of all
days, and all the time there was the
battle with the horses. The wayside
was no longer familiar. 1t was
mere panorama of looming gray rocks
that rose up suddenly and swept past
in blur. The road was a living
twisting thing, that tried all the time
to evade him; and before him, with
outstretched heads and sinewy bodies
straining for ever greater reaches,
were two terribly insane animals, bent
on destruction.
Down the deadly hill, lurching,

jumping over boulders. they went, but
Sanders sat firm, with his Drowned
hands twisted desperately into the
lines. In his ears rang again and
again the words: BE game little
cuss, and hold the reins tight"
At the top of his shrill voice he
called to the horses, trying vainly to
check them-called them by name,
cursed, appealed, or commanded, and
all with no effect. Through him there
ran the realization that there was but
one chance to save the Dream Lady.
and that was to keep his way In the
road, at least until the frightful grade
of Turn Again" stretched smoothly
out over the shadows of the lowland,
away from the river and from the
