 But all at once his fantasies were suddenly and rudely dispelled by the intrusion of realities. Dan had been walking silently himself in the pine needles. As Lennox had wondered at long ago, he knew how by instinct; and instinctively he practfced this at- tainment as soon as he got out into the wild.

FROM REMOTEST
 PARTS OF GLOBE
TanIaC Elements Come From Many Lands Far Away
 From Here.

The ingredients from which the ceIe- brated medicine Tanlac is made, come from remote sections of the earth, and are transported thousands of miles over land and sea to the great Ianlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio, and WalkersvilIe, Canada
 The Alps, Appenines, Pyrenees, Rus sian Asia, Brazil, West Indies, Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia, India, Mexico, Columbia and Peru are among the far away points from which the principal properties of this re- markable preparation are obtained.
 What is said to be the largest phar- maceutical laboratory in the United States has been completed at Dayton Ohio. for the manufacture of Tanlac, which, according to recent reports. is now having the largest sale of any medicine of it's kind in the world. over -20,OOO.OOO bottles having been sold in six years.
 The new plant occupies 6O,OO0 square feet of floor space and has a daily capacity of 5O.OOO bottles. Uni- form quality is guaranteed by a series of careful inspections by expert chem istS from the time the roots, herbs. barks and flowers are received in their rough state from all parts of the globe, until their medicinal properties have been extracted by the most approved processes. The finished medicine is then bottled, labeled and shipped out to tens of thousands of druggists the United States and Canada, to supply a demand never before eQuaIled by this or any other medicine.

 Soon 1t became evident that the crea- ture was either walking with two legs, or else was a four-footed animal put ting two feet down at the same in stant. Dan had learned to wait. He stood perfectly still And gradually he came to the conclusion that he was listening to the footfall of an- other man.
 But 1t was rather hard to imagine what man might be doing on this lonely hill Of course it might be a deer hunter; but few were the valley sportsmen who had penetrated to this far land. The footfa1l was much too heavy for Snowbird. The steps were evidently on another trail that inter sected his own trail one hundred yards farther up the hill. He had only to stand still, and in an instant the man would come in sight.
 He took one step into the thickets, prepared to conceal himself if 1t be- came necessary. Then he waited. Soon the man stepped out on the trail.
 Even at the distance of one hundred yards, Dan had no difficulty whatever in recognizing him. He could not mistake this tall, dark form, the soiled, slouchy clothes, the rough hair, the intent, dark features. It was a man about his own age, his own height. but weighing fully twenty pounds more, and the dark, narrow eyes could belong to no one but Bert Cranston. He carried his rife loosely in his arms
 He stopped at the forks in the trail and looked carefully fin all directions. Dan had every reason to think that Cranston would see him at first glance. Only one clump of thicket sheltered

CHAPTER II-continued.


 And as for whisperfoot-the terror
 that choked his heart with blood be-
 gan to wear off in a little while. The
 man lay so still in the thfckets. Be
 sides. there was a strange, wild smell
 In the air. Whisperfoot's stroke had
 gone home so true there had not even
 been a fight. The darkness began to
 lift around him, and a strange exulta-
 ton, a rapture unknown before in all
 his hunting, began to creep into his
 wild blood. Then, as shadow steals,
 he went creeping back to his dead
 Dan Failing had been studying na-
 ture on the high ridges; and he went
 home by a back trail that led to old
 Bald mountain. The trail was just it had not been made by gangs of laborers, working with shovels and picks. Possibly half a dozen white men, in all, had ever walked along it. It was just the path of the wild crea- lures, worn down by hoof and paw and cushion since the young days of the world.
 It was roundabout trail home, but yet 1t had its advantages. It took him within two miles of Snowbird's lookout station, and at this hour of day he had been particularly fortunate in finding her at 8 certain spring on the mountain side. It was rather sim gular coincidence. Along about four he would usually find himself wander ing up that way. Strangely enough, at the same time, it was true that she had an Irresistible impulse to go down and sit in the green ferns beside the same spring. They always seemed to be surprised to see one another In reality, either of them would have been considerably more surprised had the other failed to put in an appear ance. And always they had long talks, as the afternoon drew to twilight
 'But I don't think you ought to wait 50 late before starting home,,' the girl would always say. You're not a human hawk, and 1t is easier to get lost than you think"
 And this solicitude, Dan rightly fig ured. was a good sign. There was only one objection to it. It resulted In an unmistakble inference that she him unable to take care of himself-and that was the last thing on earth that he wanted her to think. He understood her we'll enough to know that her standards were the standards of the mountains, Valuing strength and self-reliance above all things. He didn't stop to why, every day, he trod so many weary miles to be with her.
 She was as natural as a fawn; and many times she had quite taken away his breath And once she did 1t liter ally. He didn't think that so long as death spared him he would ever be able to forget that experience. It was her birthday, and knowing of 1t in time he had arranged for the delivery of certain package, dear to a girlish heart, at her fathers house. In the | trysting hour he had come trudging | over the hills with it, and few expert | ences in his life had ever yielded such l unmit1gated pleasure as the sight of | her, glowing white and red, as she took | on Its wrapping paper.

ADAMS and GREENE SPEAK
ON THE CITY MANAGER PLAN
Mass Meeting Held at City Hall Auditorium to Hear
Authorities Relate Excellence Of
Manager Scheme

a large number of people attended
the meeting in City Auditorium last
night to hear c. B. Greene of Dayton,
Ohio, and Alva B. Adams. a member
of the committee of IL Of Pueblo, speak
on the city manager PLAN. The meet
ing was held under tina auspices of
the Greater Pueblo association, the
speakers being introduced by John b.
Barnard. Preceding the talks selec-
tions were played by the band.
Mr.. Adams said that he believed the
city manager form of government was
the one plan that would promote good
government and that he was fully
convinced that the plan should be
adopted. He read parts OF editorials,
letters and communications that had
appeared in the daily papers of the
city and said the papers had made
much of what is known as the presi
dent OF the council under this plan
but that the actual meat or lSernal had
not been discussed. He explained that
the manager plan was one in which an
expert was substituted in place of an
amateur as the executive OF a city
government which was one of the vital
things in such government. He COM
pared the charter Pueblo now has
with the plan proposed. He said the
present city government was not ade-
duate in the present crisis, and that
more efficient and buHnesslilse one
was needed, that the present emerg-

FIRE IN CITY AREA OF San
ISABEL FOREST DISCOVERED
Fire Guard However, Puts Blaze Out Before 1t Could
Reach Heavy Stand Of Timber
Forest Especially Dry

week was reported at the United States
Forest Service station here yesterday
by l.. A. Alexander, a guard in the
forest. The fire, which started in
grass in the area purchased by the
city of Pueblo for a mountain park
site on South Creek in Beulah, was
quickly extinguished by Alexander.
The cause was found to be undoubt-
edly carelessness of a. passerby.
Alexander said that he was in his
lookout station on South Creek when
he noticed smoke arising in the direc-
ton of the city area. Hurrying there
he found a fire we'll under way In the
tall dry grass in that region, and
spreading rapidly toward the heavy
growth of yellow pine. Alexander put
out the fire unassisted. In case the
fire had reached the timbers before 1t
was discovered the damage would
have been extensive. it is thought and
the extent OF tho destruction difficult
to determine.
As the blaze was found to have
started near a gate leading into a pas
ture and fresh wagon tracks were
found, this gave adequate evidence or
the fact that settler had stopped to
open the gate and had carelessly
dropped a cigaret or cigar butt in the
dry grass near the road side. The pro-
longed dryness of the present season
has made the fire danger in the for
est doubly serious. and the entire force
of rangers has been on the sharp watch
for any indication OF smoke.
