were all obscured in a strange, white
mist. A great wind roared In his ears
and his heart was evidently about
to shIver to pieces
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams
tons blows. The latter's arms went
around him In one Of those deadly
holds that wrestlers know; and Dan
struggled In vain to free himself.
Crnnston's face Itself seemed hideous
and unreal In the mist that was creep
Ing over him. He did not recognize
the curious humping sound as Grams
toms 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
sudden end Human bodies can stand
a terrific punishment: but Dams was
weakened from the ravages Of his
disease. Besides. Crnnston 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 he 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 We're speaking-quick, COM
manding 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 whole drama was revealed. It had
not been sudden mercy that had driven
Cranstor from his body. just when his
victims falling unconsciousness would
have put him completely In his power.
Rather II was something black and
omnous 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

sufficient and determined and intent.

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, lashing 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 lnef-
fective. By now, Cranston had com
pletely overcome the moments advan-
tage the other had obtained by the
power of his leap. He hurled Dan
from the clInch and lashed at him
with hard fists.
1t Is a very common thing to hear
Of a silent fight. But 1t is really a
more rare occurrence than most peo-
pie believe. 1t Is true that serpents
will often fight in the strangest. most
eerie silence; but human beings are
not serpents. They partake more Of
the qualities of the meat-eaters-the
wolves and felines. After the first
instant, the noise Of the fight aroused
the whole hillside. The sound Of blows
was In itself notable. and besides, both
IT the men were bowling the prim-
ordial battle cries of hatred and ven
geance.
For two long minutes Dan fought
with the strength Of desperation sum
moning at last all that mysterious re-
serve force with which all men are
born. But he was playing losing
game. The malady with which he had
suffered had taken too much Of his
vigor. Even as he struggled. It seemed

CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was really not badly
hurt. The quick, lashing 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
manding. ~ think you've killed him."
Dan opened his eyes to find her
kneeling 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 be as white, while life
still remained, as hers was then. All
the lovely tints that had been such n
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
distance of dozen feet: and except
for the faintest tremble all over his
body, muscular reaction from the
violence Of his passion, he had entire
ly regained his self-composure. This
was quite characteristic of the noun
tain men. They share with the beasts
passion of living that is wholly un-
known on the plains; but yet they have
certain quality of lmperturbabllity
known nowhere else. Nor is it limited
to the natiye-born mountaineers. No
man who intimately knows member
of that curious, keen-eyed little army
OF naturallsts and big-game hunters
who go to the north woods every fall
as regularly and seemingly as mex
orably as the waterfowl go in spring,
can doubt this fact. They seem to
have acquired from the silence and
the SHOWS an impregnatiOn Of that
eterLal calm and imperturbability that
is :he wilderness itself. Cranston
wasn't In the least afraid Fear is
usually matter Of uncertainty, and
f'' knew exactly where he stood.

Brooklyn Communist Tells OF Tor
ture in Russian Prisons to
Force Confessions
MEETS DEpORTEES IN JAIL
Found Twenty Men Shipped Out o.
the United States In Various Pris-
ons in Moscow-Many Proni-
nent Men Also Prisoners.

ReyBl. Esthonia.-The worst phase
Of Imprisonment in Moscow Is not the
possibility or probability of execution,
but the daily attempts made to wiring
confessions from the prisoners, says
DR.. Morris Fucker. Brooklyn com
munist, who arrived here recrntly af-
ter having served four months in the
Russian jalls.
Fucker was sentenced in New York
in 1910 to 60 years Imprisonment for
sedition, but was deported instead.
Speaking of the life of the prisoners
In the principal political prison at Mos
COW, which is called the 20. o. w. he
said, 1.-The daily third degree to which
prisoners are subjected If they are sus-
pected of a serious political crime Is
worse than execution.
Torture Repeated Daily.
"These prisoners are taken every
day, If their captors think there Is

them. into the questioning room.
There, whether they have anything TO
confess or not, they are commanded to
reveal the truth
'The commissar puts revolver to
the prisoners head. Confess, or I'll
shoot he commands. The prisoner
waits for the shot. He never knows
whether it is coming or not.
"This process is often repeated un-
Ill the prisoner will confess rather
than undergo any further ordeals. in
which case he Is shot anyway"
Meets Deported Radicals in Jail.

ers becomes such that they would pre-
fer death, said Doctor Fucker. The
Brooklyn communist says that he met

the radicals deported from America and
that he could well understand why the
Bolsheviki arrested them. for they were
chiefly anarchists who did not believe
in any government, particularly in n
government SO dictatorial as that
maintained by the BolshevikI"
Fucker said he found in prison also
the president of the Turkestan soviet
republic Mohammed Hadjlz; Gen.
Alex Gcrtor, once commander of the
Russian southwestern front; eight
members of the executive committee of

and his eyes did not waver In the
least. 1t would not be the truth to say
that his heart was not leaplng like
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. Stealthily,
without seeming to do so, he was set
ting his muscles for spring.
The only answer to his words was
laugh-a roaring laugh of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter. his intent, catlke vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw a chance; feeble

he had. And his long body leaped like

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. II 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 It's
forms. Besides, this kind of hillman
habtually fought his duels with rifles.
Hands were not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack ws one of the most
astounding surprises of Cranston's life.
Dams body struck his. his fists failed.
and to protect himself, Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle. They stag
