There was silence and bowed
heads. Hector Waith knew that his
fate was sealed. He thought of the
wild-rose beauty, Nellie, whose
bright, tender ways had won him to
Hnger in this wild district. His clear
glance swept the faces before him.
Speech would be useless. He must
act If he would save his life.
The men stepped aside in low
toned consultation. Waith saw
Woods draw out his revolver Just
beyond the copse horse grazed I'M

his feet and dashed towards the ami
NAL. He was in the saddle in a flash.
The horse made bound along a
narrow ledge sktrting a deep ravine.
Bang! Bangr' with an unearthly
scream the splendid steed wavered,
upreared. Pierced at vital part, the
brave animal swung to one side.
Horse and rider went hurting over
the edge of the narrow footpath, dis

down into a nest of dence enveloping
vines.
Waith had chung to these, safely
sheltered from the view of his pur-
suers until they had left the spot.
He could not climb up, the grade was
too preclpitous, but foot by foot he
let himself down until he reached the
bottom of the Favine This progress
had been accompanied by dangerous
falls and contact with sharp-pointed
rocks.
The moon was up when he emery

to distance or direction. His only
thought now was to get out of the
district before being overtaken. Nell
lie would come to him at some point
of safety when he wrote to her later
explaining everything.
IL was in the early hours Of the
morning. The moon was just sink
ing, when lying in the road before
him he made out human form. 1t
was that of an old woman. She had
apparently been making her way
from one point to another of the
desolate district when she had sunk
from exhaustion. She was insensible
and Waith could not arouse her.
'What shall l do?" he questioned
himself. ct is dangerous for me to
delay, but cannot leave this helpless
old woman to die"
Like the true man he was, Waith
thought only of the unconscious
charge on his hands and the hours
passed on. He discovered deserted
hut at a little distance. He carried
the old woman thither, gathered up
dry grass for bed and made her as
comfortable as he could. She revived
somewhat, but was still incoherent.,
From her wanderings, Waith decided
that she had started to visit rela-

state Game Warden Sholts in speak
ing of the prospects for hunting this
fall said:
'"There has been an excellent hatch
OF prairie chicken, grouse and par
tridges. In some counties deer appear
to be fully as plentiful as last year.

for those who care to hunt and hsh
in this state Game birds planted by
this department have increased won
derfully, according to reports, and L
am led to think it is a good move on
the part of this department that our
native birds should be placed with
reliable persons to protect them and
that those thus placed have proven
grand success so far"
