skeleton of an animal like the badger

that stood nearest leaped-a gray
streak out of the shadOw-and every
wolf in the pack shot forward with
yell. It was short, expectant cry;
but it chopped off short. For with a
half-sob, and seemingly without rlen-

fired.
A fast-leaping wolf is one of the
most difficult pistol targets that can be
imagined. 1t bordered on the miracu-

control over her muscles largely gone.
Yet the bullet coursed down through
the lungs, inflicting mortal wound.
The wolf had leaped for her throat:

a blow, and she heard curious sound
in the region Of her hip. But she
didn't know that the fangs had gone

CHAPTER III-Continued.

"Good evening, Cranston," he said
pleasantly.
Cranston was also upon his feet the
same instant. His instincts were en-
tireiy 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 It, and
neither would have time to swing or
aim it.
Dams sudden appearance had been
so utterly unlocked for, that for a mo-
ment Cranston could find no answer.
His eyes moved to the rifle, then to
his belt where hung his hunting knife,
that still lay on the pallet. Good
evening, Falling" he replied, trying
his hardest to fall into that strange
spirit of nonchalance with which
brave men have so often met their ad-
versaries, aud which Dan had now.
I'm surprised to see you here. What
do you want?"
Dan's voice when ne replied was no
more warm than the snow banks that
reinforced the lean to. Il want your
rife-also your snow shoes and your
supplies of food. And l think I'll take
your blankets, too"
"And l suppose you mean to fight
for them?" Cranston asked. His lips
drew up in a smile. but there was no
smile in the tone Of his words.
You're right" Dan told him, and
he stepped nearer. "Not only for
that, Cranston. We're face to face at
last-hands to hands. I've got knife
in my pocket. but I'm not even going
to bring it out. It's hands to hands
you and Until everything's square
between us"
perhaps you've forgotten that day
on the ridge?" Cranston asked. you
haven't any woman to save you this
time"
II remember the day, and that's part
Of the debt. The thing you did yester-
day is part of it, too. It's all to be set
tied at last, Cranston, and I don't be-
lieve could spare you if you went to
your knees before me. You've got
clearing out by the fire-big as prize
ring. Well 60 out there-side by side.
And hands to hands We'll settle all
these debts we have between us-with
nc rules of fighting and no mercy in
the end"
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 iean-to. Dan saw the
dark face drawn with passion, the
hands clenching, the shoulder muscles
growing into hard knots. And Gran
ston looked and knew that mercilesS
vengeance-that age old sin and
Christless creed by which he lived
had followed him down and was
clutching him at last.
He saw it in the position of the stall
wart form before him, the clear level
eyes that the moon light made bright
as steel, the hard lines, the slim, pow
erful hands. He could read it in the
tones of the voice-toneS that he him
self could not initiate or pretend. The
hour had come for the settling Of old
debts.
He tried to curse his adversary as
weakling and degenerate, but the OBJ
scene words he sought for would not
come to his lips. Here was his fate,
and because the darkness always fades
before the light, and the courage Of
wickedness always breaks before the
courage of Righteousness Cranston was

VANDALS SMASH OVER
HUNDRED WINDOWS IN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

If anyone has knowledge of the
party. or parties. who, during the last
few days. committed the acts of van
dalism by destroying public property.
George Fox. County Superintendent
of Education, would like TO know it.
More than 100 panes of glass have
been broken from the windows of the
city public school buildings on Green
street, Prof Fox stated today Oyster
shells and stones of all kinds were
the missiles used to smash them.
These were found in the classrooms
and the Railways. The prevailing be-
lief is that this wanton destruction is
the work of small boys who have
made it habit of playing about the
school grounds. Il was greatly
shocked this morning upon visiting
the school buildings" declared Mr..
Fox, ''and | think the guilty parties
should be punished to the fullest ex-
tent of the law"
WhereupOn. Superintendent Fox is
publishing. by advertisement, a notice
of warning that all persons trespass-
ing upon the school property for any
purpose will be prosecuted.
