merce of the busy little Oregon city
was not usually exceptionally inter
ested In stray hunters that wanted
boarding place for the summer. Its
business was finding country homes
for orchardists In the pleasant river
valleys. But II happened that the re-
cipient of the wire was one of the old
est residents, frontiersman himself.
and il was one of the traditions Of the
Old West that friendships were not
soon forgotten. Dan Failing had
been a legend in the old trapping and
shooting days when this man was
young. So 1t came about that when
Dams train stopped at Cheyenne. he
found telegram waiting him:
"Any relation to Dan Failing of the
Umpqua divide?"
Dan had never heard Of the Ump-
qua divide, but he couldn't doubt but
that the sender of the wire referred
TO his grandfather. He wired in the
affirmative. The head of the Chamber
Of Commerce received the wire. read
It. thrust II into his desk. and in the
face of a really important piece Of
business proceeded to forget all about
It. Thus II came about that, except
for one thing, Dan Failing would have
probably stepped Off the train at his
destination wholly unheralded and I'M
met. The one thing that changed his
destiny was that at a meeting OF a
certain widely known fraternal order
the next night, the Chamber of Com
MERGE crossed trails with the Frontier
in the person of another old resident
who had his home in the farthest
reaches Of the Umpqua divide. The
latter asked the former to come up
for few days shooting-the deer be-
ing fatter and more numerous than
any previous season since the days Of
the grizzlies.
TOO busy, I'm afraid" the Cham
Der Of Commerce had replied. "But
Lennox-that reminds me. Do you
remember old Dan Failing?"
Lennox probed back into the years
for single instant, Strengthened out
all the kinks of his memory in less
time than the wind straightens out
the folds of flag. and turned a most
interested face. Remember him !" he
exclaimed. 81 should say do" The
middle-aged man half-closed his pierre

Failing make bet once. I was just

or course he was tall, just as the ia
nous frontiersman had been. but
while the elder weighed one hundred
and ninety pounds, bone and muscle,
this man did not touch one hundred
and thirty. Evidently the years had
brought degeneracy to the Failing clan.
Lennox was desolated by the thought.
He helped Dan with his bag to Q 1T

"On the limited. hitting here tomor-
row morning. there's grandson Of
Dan Failing. His name is Dan Fail
ing. too. and he wants to go up to your
place to hunt. Stay all summer and
pay board"
Lennox's eyes said that he couldn't
tongue spoke, too. Good Lord" he
said 81 used to foller Dan around
like old Shag, before he died, followed
Snowbird. OF course he can come.
But he can't pay board"
It was rather characteristic of the
mountain men-that the grandson of
Dan Failing couldn't possibly pay
board. But Steele knew the ways Of
cities and of men. and he only smiled.
"He won't come, then" he explained.
Anyway, have that out with him at
the end Of his stay. He wants fish
ing, and you've got that in the North
fork. Moreover, you're thousand
miles back"
"Only one hundred, II you must
know. But Steele-do you suppose
he's the man his grandfather was be-
fore him-that all the Failings have
been since the first days Of the Ore
gOn trail7 II he is-well, my hats
off to him before he steps off the
train"
The mountaineer's bronzed face was
earnest and intent in the bright lights
of the club. Steele thought he had
known his breed. Now he began to
have doubts of his own knowledge.
"He won't be; don't count on it," he
said humbly. "The Failings have done
much for this region, and I'm glad
enough to do little to pay It back,
but don't count much on this eastern
boy. He's lived in cities; besides, he's
a sick man. He said so in his wire.
You ought to know II before you take
him In"
The bronzed face changed; possibly
a shadow of disappointment came in
to his eyes. "A lunger, ehT Lennox
repeated. "Yes-it's true that If he'd
been like the other Fallngs, he'd never
have been that. Why, Steele, you
couldn't have given that old man

river overnight. OF course you couldn't
count on the line keeping up forever.

Yes, Steele knew Bill. Bill weighed
two hundred pounds, and he would
choose the biggest Of the steers he
drove down to the lower levels In the
winter and, twisting Its horns, would
make II lay over on Its side. Besides,
both of the men assumed that Dan
must be only In the first stages of his
malady.

home of his ancestors was entering
