to tenderfOot 1t was a difficult
mark indeed. Twice out of four shots
Dan hit the tree trunk, and one OF. his
two hits was practically q bull's-eye.
His two misses were the result of the
same mistake he had made before
attempting to hold his aim too long.
Dan and Lennox started together
up the long slope of the ridge. Dan
alone armed; Lennox went with him
solely as q guide. The deer season had
just opened, and It might be that Dan
would want to procure one Of these
creatures.
"But I'm not sure l want to hunt
deer" Dan told him. "You speak of
them as being so beautiful"
"They are beautiful and your
grandfather would never hunt them,
either, except for meat But maybe
you'll change your mind when you see

lynx or q panther. But not very like

They trudged up, over the carpet Of
pine needles. They fought their way
through a thicket of buckbrush. Once
they saw the gray squirrels in the tree
tops. And before Lennox had as much
as supposed they were near the haunts
of big game, a yearling doe sprang up
from Its bed In the thickets.
For an instant she stood motlonless,
presenting perfect target. II was
evident that she had heard the sound
of the approaching hunters, but had
not as yet located or identified them
with her near-sighted eyes. Lennox
whirled to find Dan standing very
still, peering along the barrel of his
rifle. But he didn't shoot. The deer,

CHAPTER discontinued.

Dan saw the door close behind him,
and he had an instant's glimpse Of the
long sweep of moonlit ridge that
stretched beneath the window. Then,
all at once, seemingly without warn
Ing, 1t simply blinked out. Not until
the next morning did he really know
why. Insomnia was an old acquaint-
ance Of Dams, and he had expected to
have some trouble In getting to sleep.
His only real trouble was waking up
again when Lennox called him to
breakfast He couldn't believe that
the light at his window shade was
really that Of morning.
Good Heavens !" his host exploded.
You sleep the sleep Of the just"
Dan was about to tell him that on
the contrary he was very nervous
sleeper, but he thought better of It.
Something had surely happened to his
insomnia. The next instant he even
forgot to wonder about 1t In the reall-
Zation that his tired body had been
wonderfully refreshed. He had no
dread now Of the long tramp up the
ridge that his host had planned.
But first came target practice. In
DANE baggage he had a certain very
plain bot serviceable sporting rifle of
about thirty-forty callber-a gun that
the information department of the
large sportlng-goods store in Gitche-
apolis had recommended for his pur-
pose. Except for the few moments In
the store. Dan had never held a rife
In his hands. The first shot he hit the
trunk of a five-foot pine at thirty
PAGES.
"But ! couldn't very we'll have
missed it! he replied to Lennox's
cheer. "You see, / aimed at the mid
debut ] lust grazed the edge"
The second shot was not so good,
missing the tree altogether. And II
was a singular thing that he aimed
longer and tried harder on this shot
than on the first. The third time he
tried still harder, and made by far
the worst shot of all.
whats the matter2" he demanded.
''Pm getting worse all the time"
Lennox didn't know for sure. But
he made a long guess. "It might be
beginners luck" he said, "but I'm In
cIined to think you're trying too hard.
Take 1t easier-depend more on your
instincts"
Dams reply was TO lift the rife
lightly to his shoulder, glance quickly
along the trigger and fire. The bullet
struck within one inch of the center
of the pine.
For a long second Lennox gazed at
him IN Open-mOuthed establishment
"My stars, boy!" he cried at last
'Was / mistaken in thinking you were
a born tenderfoot-after all7 Can II
be that a little, of your old grandfa
theirs skill has been passed down tC
you? But you can't do II again."
But Dan did do 1t again. II any
thing, the bullet was a little nearer
the center. And then he aimed at 6
more distant tree.
But the hammer snapped down In
effectively on the breech. He turned
with look OF question.
