CHAPTER u.

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, grunting through the
underbrush, and he punctillousy, 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
opposite interests. The bear was a
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 leaped from the thicket in
front of him, startled by his sound in
the thicket. The truth was, Whisper
foot had made a wholly unjustified
misstep on dry twig, just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps it was the
fault Of Wool, whose presence had
driven Whlsperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
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
creasng 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.
This animal had number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper
foot could have crushed him with one
bite, but this was one thing that the
great cat, as long as he lived, would

never try to do. He got out of the
way politely when Stripe-back was
still quarter of a mile away; which
was quite a compliment to the little
animals ability to introduce himself.
Stripe-back was Familiarity known as
a skunk.
Shortly after ten, the mountain lion
had remarkably fine chance at n
buck. The direction of the wind, the
trees, the thickets and the ligtt were
all In his favor. 1t was old Biz ektail,
