VT was dawn; the blackbirds were

when I set out for the house of Shaw.
On the. forenoon of the second day,

me with porridge and a rare half-cup
of ale.
One night he gave me 40 pounds,
saying it was a debt he owed my
father, and with it gave me also

ing me to bring him down the chest
at the top of it. | went, poor fool,
into the dark to bring it; and only

from stepping into space and being

wickedness always breaks before the
courage of righteousness, Cranston was
afraid TO look II in the face. The fear
of defeat, of death, of heaven knows
what remorselessness with which this
grave giant would administer justice
was upon him, and his heart seemed
to freeze In his breast. Cravenly he
leaped for his knife on the blankets
below him.
Dan was upon him before he ever
reached it. He sprang as a cougar
spings, incredibly fast and with shat
tering power. Both went down, and
for a long time they writhed and strus-
gled in each others arms. The pine
boughs rustled strangely.
The dark, gaunt hand reached in
vain for the knife. Some resistless
power seemed to be holding his wrist
and was bending its bone as an Indian
bends a bow. Pain dashed through him.
And then this dark-hearted man, who
had never known the meaning of mer-
cy, opened his lips to scream that this
terrible enemy be merciful to him.
But the words wouldn't come. A
CHASTITY weight had come at his throat,
and his tortured lungs sobbed for
breath. Then, for a long time, there
was a curious pounding, lashing sound
in the evergreen boughs. 1t seemed
merciless and endless.
But Dan got up at last, in a strange,
heavy silence, and swiftly ven to
work. He took the rifle and filled II
with cartridges from Cranston's belt
Then he put the remaining two boxes
of shells into his shirt pocket. The
supplies of food-the sack of nutri'
tious jerked venison like dried bark
the little package of cheese. the box
of hard tack and one of the small
sacks of prepared flour-he tied, witt
a single kettle. into his heavy blan
kets and flung them with the rifle upor
his back. Finally he took the pair o.
snow shoes from the floor. He worked
coldly, swiftly, all the time munchini
at a piece Of jerked venison. When h,
had finished he walked to the door o
the lean-to.

up, too. So he did the next most dis
arming thing.
He sprang up and strobe into the
lean-to.
Good evening, Cranston," he said
pleasantly.
Cranston was also upon his feet the
same instant. His instincts were en-
tirely true. He knew If he leaped for
his rifle, Dan would be upon his back
In an instant, and he would have no
chance to use it. The rifle was now
out of the running, as they were at
about equal distances from 1t, and
neither would have time to swing or
aim II.
Dams sudden appearance had beer
so utterly unlocked for, that for a mo-
ment Cranston could find no answer.
His eyes moved to the rifle, hen TO
his belt where hung his hunting knife,
that still lay on the pallet. Good

They measured each other with their
eyes. Once more Cranston's gaze stole
TO his rifle, but lunging out. Dan
kicked It three feet farther into the
shadows OF the lean-to. Dan saw the
