OF course It wouldn't do to let his

was good shot too. young as Gran
ston, and of equal strength: and no

hunting. Cranston had no intention
of giving his enemv even the slightest
chance to defend himself Il Hildre,h
got down into the valley. his testi-
mony would make short work of the
arson ring. He had the goods: he had
been a member of the disreputahle
crowd himself.
The mans steps were quite distinct
by now. Cranston heard him fighting
his way through the brush thckets
and once a flock of grouse. frightened
from their perches by the approaching
figure, flew down the trail In front
Cranston pressed back the hammer of
his rife. The click sounded loud in
the silence. He had grown tense and
still. and the leaves no longer rustled.
His eyes were intent on little
clearing, possibly one hundred yards
up the trail. The trail itself went
straight through it. And in an in
stant more. Hildreth pushed through
the buckbrush and stood revealed In
the moonlight.
If there is one quality that means
success in the mountains 1t is con-
slant. unceasing self-control. Gran
ston thought that he had it. But per-
haps he had waited too long for iii,
dreth to come and the strain had told
on him. He had sworn to take no
false steps; that every motion he
made should be cool and sure. He
didn't want to attract Hildreth's at
tention by any sudden movement. Al
must be cautious and steathy. But
In spite of all these good resolutions,
Cranston's gun simply leaped to his
shoulder in one convulsive motion at
the first glimpse of his enemy as he
emerged into the moonlight.
The end of the barrel struck n
branch of the shrubbery as it went
up. 1t was only soft sound; but in
the utter silence it travelled far. The
gun barrel caught the moonlight us it
leaped. and uildreth saw its CLINT in
the darkness.

wholly possible that Cranston would
have answered this question for him.

dreth would have preferred to wait in

at his finger tips forbade It. And all
these things combined to stretch his
nerves almost to the breaking point
as he stole along the moonllt trail un-

Dan felt that at last the wilderness
itself was speaking to him. He had
waited long time to hear its voice.
His thought went back to the wise
men Of the ancient world, waiting to
hear the riddle of the universe from
the lips of the Sphinx. and how he
himself-more in his unconscious self.
rather than conscious-had sought the
eternal riddle of the wilderness. He
had asked questions-never in the
form Of words but only ineffable
yearnings Of his soul-and at last 1t
had responded. The strange rising
and falling song was its own voice, the
articulation Of the very heart and soul
Of the wilderness.

knew that as his finger pressed he had
held as accurate "bead" as at any
time in his life. He did not know still
another circumstance-that In the
moonlight he had overestimated the
distance to the clearing. and instead
of one hundred yards II was scarcely
fifty. He had held rather high. And
he looked up. unknowing whether he
had succeeded or whether he was face
to face with the prospect of a duel
to the death in the darkness.
And all he saw was Hildreth, rock
ing back and forth In the moonlight
n strange picture that he was never
entirely to forget. 1t was a motion
that no man could pretend. And he
knew he had not missed.
He waited till he saw the form of

to return to the body and make GER

MORG ANATIC WIFE
CLAIMS KINGS ESTATE
Madama Manos of Greece Brings Ac-
tion to Force the Removal of
Seals from the Late King
Alexander's Apart
n1ents.

Athens. Nov. THE question of
the legal rights of Madama Manos,
morganatie wife of the late King Alex
ander, seems likely to create some diff
ficulty, according to leading jurists of
this city.
Her attorney on Thursday last asked
the court to remove the seals from the
apartments Of the king asserting that
Madama Manos, through her marriage
and also because of her approaching
motherhood. would legally inherit Al.
exanders property, An attorney act
ing for former King Constantine then
asked the court to suspend action until
he had time to institute action in op-
position. He declared Constantine in
tended to contend that the marriage of
Madama Manos and the late monarch
was invalid and that Alexander's prop,
erty should pass to his father and
brothers..
Should Constantine take legal action
in the premises, the iurists point out,
il would constitute an admission that
he is no longer king of Greece. as the
chief Of state, being the dispenser Of
justice, cannot appeal to the courts.
There is some speculation here as TO
the status in the dynasty of the child
to be born by Madama Manos if her
marriage should be declared valid.
