CHAPTER iv.-continued.

But the terrible fangs were never
to know her white flesh. Some one
had come between. There was no
chance to shoot: Whisperfoot and the
girl were too near together for that.
But one course remained; and there
was not even time to count the cost.
In this most terrible moment Of Dan
Failing's life, there was not even an
instant's hesitation. He did not know
that Whisperfoot was wounded. He
saw the beast creeping forward in the
weird dancing light Of the fallen Ian
tern, and he only knew that his flesh,
not hers, must resist its rending tai
ons. Nothing else mattered. No 9th
er consideration could come between.
It was the test; and Dams instincts
prompted coolly and well. He leaped
with all his strength. The cougar
bounded into his arms, not upon the
prone body Of the girl. And she open
ed her eyes to hear a curious thrash
ing in the pine needles, a strange grim
battle that, as the lantern flashed out,
rvas hidden in the darkness.
And that battle, In the far reaches
of the Divide, passed into legend. Il
was the tale of how Dan Failing, his
gun knocked from his hands as ne
met the cougars leap, with his own
unaided arms kept the life-giving
breath from the animals lungs and
killed him in the pine needles. Claw
and fang and the frenzy of death
could not matter at all.
Thus Failing established oefore all
men his right to the name he bore
And thus he paid one Of his debts
life for a life, as the code Of the forest
has always decreed-and IN the nre
of danger and pain his metal was
tried and proven.

all gone down with the deer, the mi

the squirrels were in hiding.
The. scene didn't offer much in the
way of clues. Of the body itself only
white heap Of bones remained, for
many and terrible had been the agents
at work upon them. The clothes, how
ever, particularly the coat, were prac-
tically intact. Gripping himself, Dan
thrust his fingers into its pockets. then
into the pockets Of the shirt and trous-
ers. All paper that would in any
way serve to identify the murdered
man, or tell what his purpose had been
in journeying down the trail the night
of the murder had been removed. Only
one explanation presented itself
Cranston had come before him and
searched the body himself.
Dan looked about for tracks, and he
was considerably surprised to find the
blurred. indistinct imprint of shoe
other than his own. He hadn't the
least hope that the tracks themselves
would offer clue to detective
They were too dim for that. The sur.
prising fact was that since the mur-

HARDING IS TO BE TESTED

HAkDlNG 10 H. BE- lEOI
In Washington the one subject of out
standing Importance continues to be dis
armament. This is the statement Of the
newspaper correspondent, one of whom
makes this comment:
1T will be found to be the general tes-
timony of the returning politicians, first,
that Harding in calling the disarmament
conference did the most popular thing
imaginable; and, second, that the con-
ference, having been called, must not
fail. If the conference should meet and
talk and go away again with nothing ac-
complished, the result would be shak-
ing of public confidence which would go
further than merely to affect President
Harding personally. A second failure
now, following what the public regards
as the failure of the peace conference at
Paris, would result in most disturbing
Hack of faith in public men and govern
ments generally.
1t is the general feeling that if at the
coming conference America should fail to
achieve reduction of disarmament by mu-
tual agreement, then the public would
take matters into heir own hands and
would insist that America reduce her
disarmament alone, regardless of agree
ments with other nations. This insistence
would take the form of pressure on con-
gress to refuse to continue to vote large
appropriations for armament"
The last statement may be only per-
sonal point of view, America would not
be justified in disalming if Japan and
Great Britain did not join in the move
ment.
No doubt President Harding would
lose prestige if he failed to make sue
cess OF his conference, and yet, if his eff
forts are backed by firm resolve to ac-
comphsh his purpose, why should he be
condemned because others cannot be
drawn into an agreement limiting arma-
ments?
There are two lines of thought claim
ing a majority of the people of this coun-
try. One is that wars are inevitable and
only an ill-advised nation proceeds on
the theory of peace on earth The other
holds to the conviction that heavy arma-
ments develop desire for war and that
settlement of disputes is attainable
without resorting to arms.
Ii all nations were to disarm tomor-
row the power to dominate would rest
with the countries having the greatest
machine plants capable of being convert.
ed into machinery of war. America, there
fore, can well afford to subscribe to any
form Of disarmament which leaves its in
dustrlal plants to be transformed over
night into machines of war.
With disarmament should come world
court In which international disputes
may be aired, opinions given and Judge
ments rendered, in order to defer the
forces of war Ogden Standard Exam

its first review today. 1t was a most
creditable piece of work and demon
strated most conclusively that Capt.
Raymond w. Swift and Capt. Foss
have drilled their men efficiently. An
other battalion that held it's first re-
view on Sunday witnessed the work of
the Second Battalion and admitted
that the latter did the better work.
Camp Notes
Brig. Gen. Mark L. Hersey, native
of Maine. as most everyone knows. is
commander of Camp Dewens at the
present time. Sunday night the 3rd
Maine Regimental band went to his
quarters and gave him a concert The
audience consisted Of General Hersey
and the members of the family but
many of the others in that section of
the camp took advantage of the OPP
portunity to hear the music. After
the program had been finished, General
Hersey personally greeted each mem
Der of the band and congratulated
them upon their fine work.
For the first time during a tour of
duty in camp, a big body of Maine
troops are to have the week end to
themselves. Col. Harry NJ. Bigelow
feels that the men Of his command
have been doing so well that he has
allowed the First and Third Battalions
to have next Sunday off. In other
words. the men will be at liberty from
mess Saturday night until taps Sun
day night
This leaves the Second Battalion, of
which Cos. r and G are members, in
bit of a box. for they are scheduled
10 be on the range all Sunday. But
they are really going to have the bet
ter of it. Col. Bigelow says day is
coming to them and so they will have
next Tuesday to themselves. In other
words. from mess Monday night until
taps Tuesday night the members ~.
Cos. L, f. G and Fl will have to them
selves. Many are already planning
their outing and some will go into
Boston for Tuesday.
There is no more popular man at
Camp Devens than Lieut.. l.. Fl. Cook
of Co. G Of Waterville. Lieut.. Cook
was one of the star players on the
Colby college football team last fall
weight hurler on the track team
saw service in the World War and
ha1 numerous other accomplish
n;entS
In addition to this. he is stout 1t
wouldn't be polite to call him fat
for he is no longer that. Last fall
he weighed 30. He has now lost 30
pounds all of which he attributes to
football. He is still the biggest man
in the regiment and. in the opinion
of many, the handsomest.
But that isn't the. end Of the story

take anyway.
After all these records have been
made the individual sheets will be
