hand-to-hand battle now The rifle
had slid on down the hillside, TO be
caught in a clump of brush twenty
feet below. Dan called on every ounce
Of his strength, because he knew what
mercy he might expect if Cranston
mastered him The battles Of the
mountains were battles to the death.
They flung back and forth wrench
ing shoulders, flashing fists teeth and
feet and fingers. There were no Mar
quis of QueenSberry rules In this bat
tie. Again and again Dan sent home
his blows but they all seemed inef-
fective BY now. Cranston had com
pletely overcome the moments adyan-
tage the other had obtained by the
power Of his leap He hurled Dan
from the clinch and dashed at him
with hard fists.

CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was really not badly
hurt. The quick, flashing blows had
not done more than severely bruise
the flesh of his face; and the mists OF
Inconsistencies that had been falling
over him were more nearly the result
of his own tremendous physical ex-
ertiOn Now these mists were rising.
"Go-go away" the girl was com
handing. Il think you've killed him"
Dan opened his eyes to find her
kneeline close beside him, but still
covering Cranston with her pistol Her
hand was resting on his bruised cheek.
He couldn't have believed that hui
man face could he as white, while life
still remained as hers was then. All
the lovely tints that had been such
delight to him, the play of soft reds
and browns, had faded as an after
glow fades on the snow
Dams glance moved with hers to
Cranston. He was standing easily at
a distance of dozen feet; and except
for the faintest tremble all over his
body. a muscular reaction from the
violence Of his passion, he had entire
" regained his self-composure. This
was quite Characteristic of the noun

were all obscured in a strange. white
mist. A great wind roared in his ears
and his heart was evidently about
to shlver 70 pieces.
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams
tons blows The latters arms went
around him IN one of those deadly
holds that wrestlers know; and Dan
struggled in vain to free himself.
Cranston's face itself seemed hideous
and unreal I'm the mist that was creep
ing over him. He did not recognize
the curious humping sound as Grams
tons fists on his flesh. And now
Cranston had hurled him off his feet.
Nothing mattered further. He had
fought the best he could. This cruel
beast could pounce on him at will
and hammer away his life. But still
he struggled. Except for the constant
play Of his muscles, his almost un-
conscious effort to free himself that
kept one of Cranston's arms busy
holding him down, that fight on the
mountain path might have come to a
sudden end. Human bodies can stand
a terrific punishment; but Dams was
weakened from the ravages of his
disease. Besides, CranSton would soon
have both hands and both feet free for
the work, and when these four ter
rible weapons are used at once, the
iSsue-soOn or late-Can never be in
doubt.
But even now. consciousness still
fingered. Dan could hear his enemy's
curses-and far up the trail, he heard
another, stranger sound. 1t sounded
like some one running.
And then he dimly knew that Gran
ston was climbing from his body.
Voices were speaking-quick, COM
handing voices just over him. Above
Cranston's savage curses another voice
rang clear. and to Dams ears. glorious
beyond all human utterance.
He opened his tortured eyes. The
miSts lifted from in front of them, and
the vhole drama was revealed. 1t had
not been sudden mercy that had driven
" dHStpil II plAi ms poNFs just Nhth hld
victims falling Inconsistencies would
have put him completely in his power.
Rather 1t was something black and
ominous that even now was pointed
squarely at Cranston's breast.
None too soon, a ranger Of the Hill
had heard the sounds Of the struggle,
and had left the trysting place at the
spring to come to Dams aid 1t was
Snowbird, very pale but wholly self
sufficient and determined and intent.
Her pistol was cooked and ready.

coldness, IAN opportunity to take that
back. Just about four seconds"
He stood very straight as he spoke.
and his eyes did not waver in the
least. 1t would not be the truth TO say
that his heart was not leaping like
a wild thing in his breast. A dark
mist was spreading like madness over
his brain; but yet he was striving to
keep his thoughts clear Stealthny,
without seeming TO do So he was set
ting his muscles for q spring.
The only answer to his words was
laugh-a roaring laugh of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter, his intent, catlike vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw a chance; feeble
though 1t 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 repealed the at
tack with his rifle If he had had a
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 We're not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack VS. one of the most
astounding surprises of Cranstons life
Dams body struck his. his fists failed
and TO protect himself, Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle They stag
gered, as if in some weird dance. on
the trail; and their arms clasped in
clinch.
For a long instant they stood strain
ing, seemingly motionless. Cranston's
powerful body had stood up well under
the shock of Dams leap. 1t was
