close. and again he staIked. Again he
found. after O few minutes Of silent
creeping through the thickets, that he
had lost distance. Evidently this
game did not feed slowly. like the
deer. II was TO be chase. then.
Again he trotted within one hundred
feet Of the girl.
Three times more he tried to stalk
before he finally gave II up altogether.
This game was like the porcupine-
simply to be chased down and taken.
And In the case of all animals that
hunt their game by overtaking It,
there was no longer any occasion for
going silently. The thing TO do was TO
come close and spring from the trail
behind.
Though the fear was mostly gone.
the cougar retained enough of that
caution that most wild animals ex-
hibit when hunting a new game so
that he didn't attempt 10 strike Snow
bird down at once. But as the chase
went on. his passion grew upon him.
Ever he crept nearer. And at last he
sprang full into the thickets beside
her.
At that instant she had shot for the
first time. Because the light had left
his eyes before she could find aim.
both shots had been clean misses. And
terrible as the reports were. he was
too engrossed in the chase to be
frightened away by mere sound. This
was the cry the man-pack always
made-these sudden. startling sounds
in the silence. But he felt no pain.
He crouched moment. shivering.
Then he bounded on again.
The third shot was miss too: In
fact. there had been no Glance for a
hit. A sound In the darkness is as
unreliable target as can possibly be
imagined. And It didn't frighten him

She was making other sounds now
queer, whimpering sounds not greatly
different from the bleat that the fawn
utters when II dies. II was fear
sound, and If there is one emotion
with which the wild beasts are ac-
quainted. In all It's phases, II is fear.
She was afraid Of him. then. and that
meant he need no longer be In the
least afraid of her. His skin began to
twitch all over with that terrible mad
ness and passion of the flesh-hunters.
This game was like the deer. and
the thing 10 do was lie in wait. There
was only one trail. He wasn't afraid
Of losing her In the darkness. She
was neither fleet like the deer nor
courageous like Woof the bear. He

from the trail when he had first heard
Snowbird's step. He had crouched

A picture came In his dark mind: the
chase for q deer when the moon had
set. the stir Of living thing that
broke twigs In the thickets. and the
leap he had made. There had been
blood, that night-the wildness and the
madness and the exultatiOn of the kill.
OF course there had been terror first,
but the terror had soon departed and
left something lying warm and still
In the thickets. II was the same game
that walked his trail In front-game
that died easily and yet. In a vague
way he did not understand. the
noblest game of all. II was living
flesh. to tear with talon and fang.
All his training, all the instincts i'm
bued In him by thousand generations
of cougars who knew this greatest
fear, were simply obliterated by the
sudden violence of his hunting-mad-
ness. He had tasted this blood once,
and II could never be forgotten. The
flame leaped In his eyes. And then he

When Dan Failing. riding like mad
over the mountain trail. heard the
third shot from Snowbird's pistol. ne
felt that one of the debts he owed hah
come due at last He seemed TO know.
as the darkness pressed around MIN.
that he was TO be tried In the fire. And
the horse staggered beneath him as
he tried TO hasten.
He showed no mercy to his mount.
Horse-fiesh isn't made for carrying
heavy man over such trail as this.
and she was red-nostriled and lath-
cred before half a mile had been COW
ered He made her leap up the rocks.
and on fairly level stretches he Ioosed
the reins and lashed her into gallop.
Only mountain horse could have
stood that test. He gave no thought
to his own safety. His courage was
at the test, and no risk of his own
life must interfere with his attempt
to save SnOwbird from the danger
that threatened her. He didn't know
when the horse would fall with him
and precipitate him down a precipice.
and he was perfectly aware that to
crash into q low-hanging limb OF one
of the great trees beside the trail
would probably crush his skull. But
he took the chance. And before the
ride was done he found himself plead
ing with the horse, even as he lashed
her sides with his whip.
The lesser forest creatures sprang
from his trail; and once the mare
leaped high to miss a dark shadow
that crossed In front. AS she caught
her stride. Dan heard squeal and
rattle of quills that identified the crea-
ture as porcupine.

She shot twice. The echoes roared
back. unbellevably loud In the silence,
and then abruptly died; and the only
sound was rustling of leaves as the
cougar crouched. She sobbed once,
then hurried on.
She was afraid to listen at first. She
wanted to believe that her pistol fire
would frighten the animal from her
trail. She knew. under ordinary con-
dItions. that II would. If he still fol-
lowed, II could mean but one thing
that some unheard-of incident had oc-
Cured to destroy his fear of men. II
would mean that he had knowingly set

CANADIANS TO
 ORGANIZE ALL
 FUR BREEDERS

OTTAWA, Dec. 4 (by Associated Press) The importance by the Can adian government to the development of the breeding of fur-bearing animals in captivity is indicated by the fact that it's commission on conservation will hold the first international exhi- bition of live, ranch-bred silver foxes at Montreal this month. Many en- tries already have been received, not ably from Prince Edward Island, while fox breeders in the United States have promised to be represent ed at the exhibition.
 During the exhibition it is expected to form a fur breeders association of Canada to organize and manage the future exhibitions which it is expected to hold annually, and to include not only foxes but mink, beaver muskrat and other bur bearers reared in cap- tivity.

bull: he had a nice head, 27 long nice points and long palms with 56 inch spread. The spread was not as wide as 1 wanted but the head was so pretty that I decided to take it. I saw plenty of moose and killed one more bull. I killed five caribou bulls and could have killed many more. That is the easiest country to hunt in that l have ever seen, all kinds of moose and cari- bou and fair supply of sheep. But not as many sheep as in the White River countrq.
 There is no bear in that section to speak of though we killed two on the river from the boat as we were going up. We stopped at Skagway and went over to Canyon city of '9S fame and killed one nice black bear in the main street of that ancient city, now overgrown by al ders and cottonwoods.

 Now that it is an assured fact that the firement are going to give their annual masquerade ball New Years evening, all ambitious prize waltzers and jazzers had better begin brushing up on their steps. The keenest competition will be for the prize jazz. MT. Laska and his mother carried away the honors last year for this event; but there are several contenders this year that

But the 12 inch plank will be raised only about 4 inches from the floor so that ladies shall have no fear of being hurt should they fall. When we stop to consider our fire department we should all feel justly proud It is a department that would be credit to a much larger city than Cordova both as regards membership and efficiency.
 The fire department this year needs money for their relief fund and this is an opportunity for every body to do their bit to help a worthy cause.

 MT. Waln is in receipt of an in- teresting letter from MT. Young of Nashville, Tennessee, describing his hunting trip in the interior. MT. Young came here early last spring and while in Cordova made many friends who will be pleased to learn of the subsequent success of his hunt. After leaving Cordova, MT. Young went over tn trail to Fair banks and then to Dawson and fin ally up the MacMillan river. The letter in part reads:
 "On Aug. 16, I bid my folks goodbye at Selkeit, they remaining on the boat and I stopping off among a few people and many h. dian dogs. My guide and Joe Brow dee, my hunting companion, were there to meet me and we were soon loaded in gas boat and on our way to the great game fields of the MacMillan. It took six days to get up the shallow stream, much of the time polling our boat On our first day in campe we saw five sheep, one moose and seventy-two caribou so you see we were not going to starve with all that game around.
 "The next day I went out to look over the range and going out I counted 102 caribou and 51 sheep but did not see any large bulls or rams that I wanted. The next day we went over to the main sheep range and saw many sheep. Located a band of 12 rams not far from camp but left them alone as it was late in the evening when we found them. The third day we each got two nice rams, our limit of sheep. The meat was the finest in the land. We had to wait several days for the moose and caribou 10 begin rubbing the velvet off their horns before we could go hunting them. On the first
