CHAPTER II.

Shortly after nine o'clock, Whisper
foot encountered his first herd of deer.
But they caught his scent and scat
tered before he could get up to them.
He met Wool, granting through the
underbrush, and he punctiliOusly, but
with wretched spirit, left the trail. A
fight with Wool the bear was one of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined. He had a pair of
strong arms of which one embrace of
a cougars body meant death in one
long shrek of pain. Of course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
berry-eater and a honey-grubber and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Wool in a
hunting way.
A fawn Ieaped from the thicket in
front of him, startled by his sound in

foot had made a wholly unjustified
misstep on a dry twig, just at the
crucial moment, Perhaps it was the
fault OF Wool, whose presence had
driven Whisperfoot from the trail,
ness was coming upon him. But
neither of these facts appeased his
anger. He could scarcely suppress a
snarl Of fury and disappointment.
He continued along the ridge, still
stealing, still alert, but his anger in
creasing with every moment. The fact
that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another animal to pass,
and particularly insignificant one
too, didn't make him feel any better.

nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper

bite, but this was one thing that the

Trees Beyond Valuation.

Ten million dollars damage annu-
ally is done to the shade trees and
hardy shrubs of the country by shade
tree insects, according to estimates
made by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department OF Agricul4
ture.
1t is very difficult to estimate the
money value of the shade trees and
shrubs of the country, but a very con-
servative estimate would place their
value at $1,000, 100000. These figures
were reached after extensive CORE
spOndence with the forestry and other
authorities of states and municipali-
ties. A more definite census is aimed
at, but the figures are taken. as de-
pendable for general purposes. They
are based on the value Of trees to
cities, parks and private properly, and
have no reference to the bare intrin-
SIC value of wood or lumber. An old
oak tree which, because Of its condi-
ton is not worth 81 for lumber, may
add $500 to the value Of the city lot
on which It is located.

way politely when Stripe-back was
still q quarter of a mile away; which
was quite compliment to the little
animals ability to introduce himself
Stripe-back was Familiarity known as
a skunk.
Shortly after ten, the mountain lion
had a remarkably fine chance at a
buck. The direction of the wind, the
trees, the thfckets and the light were
all in his favor. It was old Blacktafl,
waNowing in the salt lick; and Whis-
pGrfoot's heart bounded when he de-
tected him. No human hunter could
have laid his plans with greater care.
He had to cut up the side of the ridge,
mindful of the wind. Then there was
a long dense thicket in which he
might approach within fifty feet of
the lick, still with the wind in his
face. Just beside the lick was another
deep thicket, from which he could
make his leap.
His body lowered. The tail dashed
back and forth, and now it had begun
to have slight vertical motion that
fronticrsmen 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-
NAMED to stalk, a sudden sound
pricked through the darkness. 1t came
from afar, but it was no less terrible.
It was really two sounds, so close to-
gether that they sounded as one.
Neither Blacktail nor Whisperfoot
had any decisions about them. They
recognizes them at once, In strange
ways under the skin that no man May
