CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was really not badly
hurt. The quick, flashing blows had
not done more than severely bruise
the flesh of his face; and the mists Of
unconsciousness 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
handing. 81 think you've killed him"
Dan opened his eyes to find her
kneeiinG 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 he as white, while life
still remained, US hers was then. All
the lovely tints that had been such
delight to him, the play of soft reds
and browns, had faded as an after
glow fades on the snow.

hand-to-hand battle now The rifle
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 flashing fists, teeth and
feet and fingers. There were no Mar
duis of Queensherry rules in this bat
tie. Again AMI again Dan sent home
his blows: but they all seemed inef-
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 dashed at him
with hard fists.

were all obscured in strange, white
mist. A great wind rOared in his ears
and his heart was evidently about
TO shiver 70 pieces.
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams
tons blows The latterS arms went
around him In one of those deadly
holds that wreStlers know; and Dan
struggled in vain to free himself.
Cranston'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 I'M
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, Cranston 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 be 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
handing voices just over him. Above
Cranstons savage curses another voice
rang clear, and to Dams ears. glorious

He opened his tortured eyes. The

the hole drama was revealed. 1t had
not been sudden mercy that had driven

victims falling Inconsistencies would
have put him completely in his power.
Rather 1t was something black and
ominous that even now was pointed
squarely at Cranston's breast.

He stood very straight as he spoke.
and his eyes did not waver in the
least 1t would not be the truth to say
that his heart was not leaping like
a Wild thing in his breast. \ dark
mist was spreading like madness over
his brain; but yet he was striving to
keep his thoughts clear Stealthlly,
without seeming TO do so. he was set
ting his muscles for a spring.
The only answer to his words was
laugh-a roaring laugh of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter, his intent, catlike vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw a chance; feeble
though 1t was, it was the only chance
he had. And his long body leaped like
serpent through the air.
Physical superior though he was.
Cranston would have repealed the at
tack with his rifle If he had had a
chance. His blood was already at
the murder heat-a point always
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. If 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 its
forms. Besides, this kind of hillman
habitually fought his duels with rifles
Hands We're not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack WIS one of the most
astounding surprises of Cranstons life.
Dams body struck his, his fists failed
and to protect himself, Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle. They stag
gered, as if in some weird dance. on
the trail; and their arms clasped in
a clinch.
For a long instant they stood strain
ing, seemingly motionless. Cranstons
powerful body had stood up well under
the shock of Dams leap. 1t was a

RUHR WILL Be OCCUPIED
Fehrenbach Cabinet Resigns After
America Rejects Offer-Poles In
wade Upper Silesia Plebscite
Zone-Panama Scorns the
Warning of Secretary
Hughes.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Two things operated to prevent the
occupation of the Ruhr district by the
allied forces last week. One was the
hesitation of Great Britain and Italy
to exact the sanctions which France
demanded and which everyone admits
are warranted. The other was the time
required to mobilize the French troops
and move them over into German ter
ritOry. The French minister Of war,
however, called to the colors about
100000 men of the class of 1919 and
started them toward the Ruhr, armed
and equipped for real warfare
For several days the supreme coun-
Gil, in session in London. argued over
the reparations and sanctions, Lloyd
George and Count Sforza delaying
final decision as long as they could,
while Premier BRAND insisted ON
speedy action. Lord CurZOn was sin
gularly stubborn in ConteSting the
French propositions and in the effort
to delay matters he persuaded the
council to summon to London the on
/ tire reparatiOns commission. Early In
the week Secretary Of State Hughes
had replied to the German uOtc, saying
that the offer Of Berlin was not, in the
opinion Of the American government,
worthy of transmission to the allies.
and expressing the hope that Germany
would lat once make directly to the
allied governments clear, definite aud
adequate proposals which would In all
respects meet its just obligations
The wording of this note made It
clear that America would not inter
fere, but the British and Italian mem
bers of the council stll hoped Doctor
Simons would come across with a IcW
offer that would maize the seizure Of
the Ruhr unnecessary. ON Wcduee-
day. however they gave in and a fina'
agreement was reached regarding the
ultimatum and protocol To Germany.
Next morning the documents were
signed and the ultimatum, giving Ger
many six days to accept was handed
