they ever got back. a narrative OF
frustrated effort. They were bitterly
angry and proportionately desperate.
So, as they clattered along the empty
road, meeting no enemy whom they
could shoot down In appeasement OF
their wrath. they satisfied themselves
with raising their war cry for the ben.
eft Of the sleeping cabins.

and broken to ride. They could make
better time on foot over the "roughs."

and plunged into the timber. When
the pursuers came up with the dis
carded horses they realized that fur
Their effort in the nighttime would be
bootless. Yet, since the heaving
tanks and painting nostrils Of the
horses testified that they had been
only q few minutes late, they took a
last chance and plunged into the
thicket.
There a single defiant shot, sent
from q long way up the hillside. was
their only challenge. and their volley
Of reply, fred at the fash, was merely
q retort Of hatred. But even In the iso.
lation of the hills certain news travels
on wings, and the morning would find
every cabin dweller wearing a face
Of grim and sullen realization. The
phrase which Fletch McNash had whis
pered to his boy would travel to the
headwaters Of every fork. and the
faces Of the women would once more
wear the drawn misery of anxiety fol
their men.

HAVING for Deer.


Winters when the SNOW Is deep for
long stretches of time deer congregate
in Yards in the Adirondacks and many
of the weaker ones die of starvation.
Their skeletons may be found In vari-
Gus parts of the great wilderness
when the SHOWS are gone. This year
game protectors have been cutting tons
OF marsh hay on the beaver meadows
in the remote sections OF the Adiron-
dacks and stacking 1t in sheltered
places to be fed to the deer next win
ter when the snow Is so deep that
other food is not obtainable. The con-
~seryation commission believes that Il
will save the lives of hundreds of
deer that otherwise would perish. The
stacks have been encased in pole
frames and literally saited. Deer will
not eat marsh hay unless 1t 10 %
treated.

hills at the back Of the place and
hitched their horses in a rock-sur-
rounded hollow a half-mile from the
house. Other horses and mules were
hitched all along the country road, but
these belonged to the legitimate
guests.
As the half-dozen men, whose arri-
val had been so cautiously accom-
plished, began slipping down, each
holding his own course in the Of
the laurel, there was nothing to indi-
cate that any warning had gone ahead
Of them.
From the houses with their yellow
windows and their open doors came
no note Of apprehension-no intima'
ton of suspicion. A medley of voices,
now and then a laugh, a din of scrap
ing feet, and the whine and boom oil
fiddles gave out q careless chorus to
the night.
Slowly, with an adept craft that
hardly broke a twig underfoot, three
of the new arrivals hitched their way
forward to a point Of vantage down
near the road.
They went crouched low, holding t

resignation.

When, just before sunset yesterday
Afternoon, q verdict Of acquittal for
Cal Douglas had come from the jury
room, the town Of Peril had ono more
held its breath and doors had closed
and the streets had cleared Of such as
wished to remain noncombatants. But
with no comment or criticism Milt
McBriar mounted his horse and rode
out Of town, shaping his course over
the hills toward his own house. Fol-
lowing his example with equal quiet,
his kinsmen mounted, too, and disap-
peared.
AS for Cal Douglas, he reserved any
enthusiasm his ~vindication may have
brought to his heart until he a back
again in the depths Of the hills. He
and his kinsmen turned their horses
by a shorter and sleeper trail to the
house where the dance was going for

passing of the jug.
= When Milt McBriar and his fellows
started home an informer or two from
the Havey ranks kept them in view,
themselves unseen, until they passed
through the gap and started down the
other side of the ridge into their own
