Shortly after nine o'clock, Whisper
foot encountered his first herd Of deer.
But they caught his scent and scat
tered before he could get up to them.
He met WoOf, grunting through the
underbrush, and he punctiliously, but
with wretched spirit, left the trail. A
fight with Woof the bear was one Of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined. He had q pair of
strong arms of which one embrace of
a cougars body meant death in one
long shrek of pain. OF course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was
berry-eater and a honey-grubber, and
the cougar cared too much for his ,wn
life and beauty to tackle Woof in
hunting way.
A fawn leaped from the thicket in
front of him, startled by his sound In
the thicket. The truth was, Whisper
foot had made a wholly unjustified
misstep on a dry twig. Just at the

PERSIA LAND OF CULTURE

Persia ranks among the foremost OF
ancient nations that have exercised the
greatest influence on the fates Of Eu-

The people who inhabit the southern
side Of the great ridge Of hills have
always displayed greater inventive
power and greater constancy In pre-
serving their institutions than the
tribes who dwell TO the northward.
The former they owe to the ease and
leisure afforded them by a most pro-
pitious climate and BY their settled
habits, not being prompted by a rest

crucial moment Perhaps It was the
fault Of WoOf. whose presence had
driven Whisperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff-
ness was coming upon him. But
neither Of these facts appeased his
anger. He could scarcely suppress a
snarl Of fury and disappointment

stealing, still alert, but his anger In

that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another anirnai to pass,
and particularly insignificant one
too, didn't make him feel any better.
This animal had a number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledgllngs. Whisper
foot could have crushed him with one
bite, but this was one thing. that the
great cat, as long as he lived, would
never try to do. He got out Of the

CHAPTER I-contlnued.

For when all thugs are said and
done, there were few bigger towards
in the whole wilderness world than
whisperfoot. A good many people
think that Graycoat the coyote
could take lessons from him in this
respect. But others, knowing how q
hunter is brought in occasionally with
almost all human resemblance gone
from him because a cougar charged In
his death agony, think this is unfair
to the larger animal. And 1t Is true
that q full-grown cougar will some
times attack horned cattle, something
that no American animal cares tc do
unless he wants a good fight on his
paws and of which the very thought
would throw Graycoat into a spasm |;
and there have been even stranger
stories, II one could quite believe
them. A certain measure Of respect
must be extended to any animal that
will hunt the great bull elk, for to
miss the stroke and get caught be-
meath the churning, lashing, slashing,
razor-edged front hoofs- is simply
death, painful and without delay. But
the difficulty lies in the fact that these
things are not done In the ordinary,
rational blood of hunting. What an
animal does in its death agony, or to
protect its young, what great game It
follows in the starving times Of win
ter, can be put to neither Its debit
nor Its credit. A coyote will charge
when mad. A raccoon will put up a
wicked fight when cornered. A hen
will peck at the hand that robs her
nest When hunting was fairly good,
Whisperfoot avoided the elk and steer
almost as punctiliously as he avoided
men, which Is saying very much in
deed; and any kind of terrier could
usually drive him straight up a tree.
But he did like "a pretend TO be
very great and terrible among the
smaller forest creatures. And he was
Fear itself to the deer. A human
hunter who would kill two deer a

strange, pungent smell on the wind.
He yawned again. and his fangs
looked white and abnormally large IN
the moonlight. His great, green eyes
were still clouded and languorous
from sleep. Then he began to steal
up the ridge toward his hunting
grounds. II was curious thing that
he walked straight In the face Of the

snow fields, and yet there wasn't a

The little, breathless night sounds
