The Debt.
CHAPTER I.

September was at its last days on
the Umpqua dIvide-that far wilder
ness Of endless, tree-clad ridges where
Dan Failing had gone for his last
days. Everywhere the forest people
were preparing for the winter that
would fall so quickly when these gold

Under Plane of the forest-those
smaller peoples that live in the dust
and have beautiful. tropical forests In
the ferns-found themselves digging
holes and filling them with stores OF
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing II. except
that a culver at the end. of they tails
told them to do so but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
a shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change Of
all, in these days of summer, was a
distinct tone OF sadness that sound
ed throughout the forest. OF course
the wilderness note is always some
what sad; but now, as the leaves fell
and the grasses died: It seemed par

voices added to 1.-THE wall of the

that the forest really comes to life
and Dan Failing. sitting In front of
Lennox's house, watching the late
September moon rise over Bald noun

1t was true that In the two months
he had spent In the mountains he had
learned to be very receptive to the
voices of the wilderness. LenhOx had

of the gnawing people; the chipmunks
In the shrubbery. the gophers who.
like blind mlsers, had ventured forth

haps even the scaly glide of those
most-dreaded poison people that had
lairs In the rock piles.
Dan felt that at last the wilderness
Itself was speaking to him. He had
waited a long time TO hear its voice.
His thought went back to the wise
men of the ancient world waiting to
hear the riddle of the universe from
the lips of the Sphinx, and how he

rather than conscious-had sought the
eternal riddle OF the wilderness. He
had asked questlons-never In the
form OF words but only ineffable
yearnings of his soul-and at last II
had responded. The strange rising
and falling song was its own voice. the
articulation of the very heart and soul
of the wilderness.
