physical W.. sig that both OF them
had known a. ew months before The
eyes were earnest. the dark face in

waver nj oil.
"Dan Failing speaksi" Lennox re-
piled with glowing eyes. He was re-
calling another Dan Failing OF the
dead years, a boyhOOd hero, and his
remembered voice had never been
more determined. more masterful than
this he had just heard.
"And Cranston didn't get his pur.
pose. after ALL" To prove his words.
Dan thrust his hand into his inner
coat pocket. He drew forth a little,
Hat package. half as thick as pack
Of cards. He held II up for them to
see. '"rhe thing Bert Cranston burned
the house down TO destroy" he ex-
planned. "fm learning TO know this

CranstOn had been mistaken, after
all. in thinking that In fear OF himself
Dan would be afraid to keep the
packet on his person. and would crnv-
enly conceal II In the house. He would
have been even more surprised to
know that Dan had lived In constant
hope Of meeting Cranston on the
ridges. showing him what II contained.
and fighting him for II. hands to
Ihands. And even yet, perhaps the day
would come when Cranston would
know at last that Snowbird's words,
after the fight Of long ago. were true.
The twilight was falling over the
snow. so Snowbird and Dan turned to
the toll OF building a sled.
The snow wns steel-gray in the
moonlight when the little party made
their start down the long trail. Their
preparations, simple and crude rs they
were, had taken hours Of ceaseless
labor on the part OF the three. The
Ak. its edge dulled by the flame and
Its handle burned away. had been
cooled In the snow. and with one
sound arm. LennOx had driven the hot
nails that Snowbird gathered from
the ashes Of one Of the outbuildings.
The embers Of the house itself still
giowed red In the darkness.
