BOOK TWO The Debt.
CHAPTER !.

September was at its last days on
 the Umpqua divide-that far wilder
 ness of endless, tree-clad ridges where
 Dan Failing had gone for his last
 days. Everywhere the forest people
 were preparing for the winter that
 would fall so quickly when these gold
 en September days were done. The
 Under Plane of the forest-those smaller peoples that live in the dust and have beautiful, tropical forests in the ferns-found themselves digging holes and filling them with stores of food. Of course they had no idea on earth why they were doing it, except that a quiver at the end of their tails told them to do so; but the result was entirely the same. They would have a shelter for the winter.
 But the most noticeable change of all, in these days of summer, was a distinct tone of sadness that sound ed throughout the forest. Of course the wilderness note is always some what sad; but now, as the leaves fell and the grasses died, 1t seemed par ticularly pronounced. All the forest voices added to 1.-the wall of the geese, the sad f1utterfng of fallen and even the whisper of the north wind. Of course all the tones and voices of the wilderness sound dearest at night-for that is the time that the forest really comes to life and Dan Failing, sitting in front of Lennox's house, watching the late September moon rise over Bald noun tain, could hear them very plainly.
 It was true that in the two months | ne had spent in the mountains he had | earned to be very receptive to the |

SYNOPSIS.

Warned by his physician that he has not more than six months to live, Dan Failing sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he should spend those six months Memories of his grandfather and a deep love for all things of the wild help him in reaching a deci- sion. In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loved his grandfather, a famous frontiersman. He makes his home with Silas LennoX, a typ fcal westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, Bill" and daugh- ter, '-Snowbird." Their abode is in the Umpqua divide, and there Failing plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told is his. From the first Failing's health shows 6 marked improve ment. and in the companionship of Lennox and his son and daughter he fits into the woods life if he had been born to 1t. By quick thinking and remarkable display of nerve" he saves Lennox's life and his own when they are at tackled by a mad coyote. LennoX declares he Is a reincarnation of his grandfather, Dan Failing I, whose fame a woodsman is household word. Dan learns that an organized band of outlaws, of which Bert Cranston Is the leader, is making trouble fin the vicinity. Landry TIldreth, a former member of the gang, has been induced to turn states evidence.

SYSTEM DID NOT WORK WELL
EngIishwoman Found Some Disadvan- tages in Giving instructions in
 the Sign Language.

An English lady was talking kabout
 her cleverness in getting a Russian servant. "She can't speak a word of English, and I can't speak Russian" she finished. But how do you, man. age, then?" asked her friend.Ns "Oh, it's quite simple. I just wave my hands about and make faces, and if she doesn't quite understand, she goes off and does something else, SO. all the work gets done in time" Later on the friend called, hoping to. catch a glimpse of the Russian treasure, and found the mistress in tears s'That dreadful Bolshevik,'' she walled. "She came up to ask what she was to do next, and I made scrubbing mo- tions, meaning the kitchen floor, of course, and she did it on my lovely polished dining table instead. and it is absolutely ruined! And now she's sulking in the kitchen, smoking my cigarettes, and I can't make her un- derstand that she's not to take them!"

voices of the wilderness. Lennox had
 not been mistaken in thinking him a
 natural woodsman- He had imagina-
 ton and insight and sympathy; but
 most of all he had heritage of wood
 lore from his frontiersmen ancestors.
 Two months before he had been a
 resident of cities. Now the wilder ness had claimed him, body and soul
 These had been rare days. At first
 he had to limit his expeditions to a few miles each day, and even then he would come in at night staggering from weariness. He climbed hills that seemed to tear his diseased lungs to shreds. Lennox wouldn't have been afraid, in a crisis, to trust his marks manship now. He had the natural cold nerve of a marksman, and one twilight he brought the body of a lynx tumbling through the branches of pine at a distance of two hundred yards. He got so he could shatter a grouse out of the air in the half of a second or so in which its bronze wings glinted in the shrubbery; and when a man may do this fair number of times out of ten he is on the straight road toward greatness.
 Then there came a day when Dan caught his first steelhead in the North F'Ork. Inere Is no more beautiful thing in the wilderness world than a steelhead trout in action. He simply 1 seems to dance on the surface of the | water, leaping again and again, and | racing at an unheafd-of speed down | the nipples.

AS Funny as ExeE

He had one of those long mus tacheS-one of the kind that, if you had been buying him a birthday pres ent a few years ago, you would have thought of a mustache cup the first thing.
 Everybody had been making fun of it, so one Sunday morning he shaved it off. The first person to get look at his upper lip in 20 years was a neighbor girl about the age of four. As she came into the house she said: ''OhI MT. Bowin, you look just as funny as eyer.''

Doubtful Compliment.

 tors who had long outstayed their well |ome.

 eplied with obvious relief.
