back and forth, and now 1t had begun
to have slight vertical motion that
frontiersmen have learned to watch
for. He placed every paw with con-
summate grace and few sets of hui
man nerves have sufficient control
over leg muscles to move with such
astonishing patience. He scarcely
seemed to move at all.
But when scarcely ten feet re-
manned to stalk, sudden sound
pricked through the darkness. 1t came
from afar. but It was no less terrible.
1t was really two sounds, so close to-
gether that they sounded as one.
Neither Blacktail nor Whisperfoot
had any delusions about them. They
recognized them at once, in strange
ways under the skin that no man may
describe, as the far-off reports Of a
rife. Just today Blacktail had seen
his doe fall bleeding when this same
sound. only louder, spoke from a
covert from which Bert Cranston had
poached her-and he left the lick In
one bound.
Terrified though he was by the rifle
shot. still Whisperfoot sprang. But
the distance was too far. His out
stretched paw hummed down four
feet behind Blacktail's flank. Then
forgetting everything but his anger
and disappointment, the great cougar
opened his mouth and howled.
The long night was almost done
when he got sight of further game.
npoa a Ao,ly ~ rrouso avDvo5o1 ,,,t+t,
roar Of wings from a thicket; but
they had been wakened by the first
whisper of dawn In the wind, and he
really had no chance at them. Soon
after this. the moon set.
The larger creatures of the forest
are almost as helpless In absolute
darkness as human beings. 1t is very
well to talk Of seeing in the dark, but
from the nature of things. even verti-
cal pupils may only respond to light.
No owl or bat can see in absolute
darkness. It became Increasingly like
ly that Whisperfoot would have to re-
tire to his lair without any meal
whatever.
But still he remained, hoping
against hope. \After a futile fifteen
minutes Of watching trail, he heard
a doe feeding on a hillside. Its foot
fall was not SO heavy as the sturdy
tramp Of buck, and besides, the
bucks would be higher on the ridges
this time Of morning. He began a eau
tious advance toward It.
For the nrst nifty yards the hunt
was IN his favor. He came up wind,
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1920-12-16

though II was, 1t was The only chance
he had. And his long body leaped like
a serpent through the air.
Physical superior though he was.
Cranston would have repelled the at
tack with his rifle II he had had
chance. His blood was already at
the murder heat-a point always
quickly reached in Cranston-and the
dark. hot fumes in his brain were
simply nothing more nor less than the
most poisonous, bitter hatred. No
other word exists. If his class of de-
generate mountain men had no other
accomplishment. they could hate. All
their lives they practiced the emotion:
hatred OF their neighbors. hatred of
law. hatred of civilization in all Its
forms. Besides. this kind of hillman
habitually fought his duels with rifles
Hands were not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack ws one Of the most
astounding surprises of Cranston's life.
Dams body struck his. his fists failed,
and to protect himself. Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle. They stag
gered, MS II in some weird dance, on
the trail; and their arms clasped in
4 clinch. sssi

ing, seemingly motioniess. Cranstons

he carried his rifle loosely in his arms.
He stopped at the forks in the trail
and looked carefully in all directions.
Dan bad every reason to think that
Cranston would see him at first glance
Only one clump of thicket sheltered
him. But because Dan had learned
the lesson Of standing still. because
his olive-drab sporting clothes blended
softly with the colored leaves. Grams
ton did not detect him. He turned
and strobe on down the trail.
He didn't move quite like a man
with innocent purposes. There was
something stealthy, something sinister
In his stride. and the way he kept
such sharp lookout in all directions.
Yet he never glanced to the trail for
deer tracks, as he would have done
had he been hunting. Without even
waiting to mediate ON the matter,
Dan started to shadow him.
Before, one hundred yards had been
traversed. he could better understand

and the brush made a perfect cover.
But the doe unfortunately was stand

open glade. Under ordinary circum.
stances, Whisperfoot would not have
made an attack. cougar can run
swiftly. but deer is light itself. The
big cat would have preferred to linger.
3 motionless thing in the thickets,
hoping some other member of the deer
herd to which the doe must have be-
longed would come into his ambush.
But the hunt was late. and Whisper
foot was very, very angry. Too many
times this night he had missed his
kill. In desperation. he leaped from
the thicket and charged the deer.
In spite of the preponderant odds
against him, the charge was almost
success. He went fully half the dis
lance between them before the deer
perceived him. Then she leaped.
There seemed to be no interiude Of
time between the instant that she be-
held the dim. tawny figure in the air
and that in which her long legs pushed
out in a spring. But she didn't leap
strnight ahead. She knew enough Of
