were all obscured in strange, white
mist. A great wind roared in his ears
and his heart was evidently about
TO SILVER to pieces.
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams
toms blows. The latter's arms went
around him In one of those deadly
holds that wrestlers know; and Dan
struggled In vain TO free himself.
Cranstons face itself seemed hideous
and unreal In the mist that was creep
Ing over him. He did not recognize
the curious humping sound as Grams
toms fists on his flesh. And now
Cranston had hurled him off his feet.
Nothing mattered further. He had
fought the best he could. This cruel
beast could pounce on him at will
and hammer away his life But still
he struggled, Except for the constant
play of his muscles, his almost I'M
conscious effort to free himself that
kept one Of Cranston's arms busy
holding him down, that fight on the
mountain path might have come to
sudden end Human bodies can stand
a terrific punishment; but Dams was
weakened from the rayages of his
disease. Besides, Cranston would soon
have both hands and both feet free for
the work, and when Il Sc four ter
rible weapons are used at once, the
issue-soon or late--can never be In
doubt.
But even now, consciousness still
fingered. Dan could hear his enemy's
curses-and far up the trail, he heard
another, stranger sound 1t sounded
like some one running.
And then he dimly knew that Gran
ston was climbing from his body.
Voices were speaking-quick, COM
manding voices just over him. Above
Cranston's savage curses another voice
rang clear, and to Dams ears, glorious
beyond all human utterance.
He opened his tortured eyes. The
mists lifted from In front of them, and
the whole drama was revealed. 1t had
not been sudden mercy that had driven
Cranston from his body, just when his
victims falling Inconsistencies would
have put him completely in his power.
Rather 1t was something black and
ominous that even now was pointed
suuarely at Cranston's breast.
None too soon, ranger of the hill
had heard the sounds of the struggle,
and had left the trysting place at the
spring to come to Dams aid. 1t was
Snowbird, very pale but wholly self
sufficient and determined and intent.
Her pistol was cooked and ready.

CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was really not badly
hurt. The quick, flashing blows had
not done more than severely bruise
the flesh of his face; and the mists of
Inconsistencies that had been falling
over him were more nearly the result
of his own tremendous physical ex-
ertion. Now these mists were rising.
"Go-go away" the girl was COM
handing. II think you've killed him."
Dan opened his eyes to find her
kneeling close beside him, but stili
covering Cranston with her pistol. Her
hand was resting on his bruised cheek.
He couldn't have believed that hui
man face could be as white, while life
still remained, as hers was then. All
the lovely tints that had been such a
delight to him, the play of soft reds
and browns, had faded as an after
glow fades on the snow.
Dams glance moved with hers to
Cranston. He was standing easily at
a distance of dozen feet; and except
for the faintest tremble all over his
body, a muscular reaction from the
violence of his passion, he had entire
ly regained his self-composure. This
was quite Characteristic of the noun
tain men. They share with the beasts
a passion Of living that Is wholly I'M
known on the plains; but yet they have
a certain quality Of imperturbability
known nowhere else. Nor Is 1t limited
to the natlve-born mountaineers. No
man who intimately knows member
of that curious, keen-eyed little army
of naturalists and big-game hunters
who go to the north woods every fall,
as regularly and seemingly as mex
orably as the waterfowl go in spring,
can doubt this fact. They seem to
have acquired from the silence and
the SHOWS an impregnation OF that
eternal calm and imperturbability that
is the wilderness itself. Cranston
wasn't In the least afraid. Fear is
usually matter Of uncertainty. and
he knew exactly where he stood

hand-to-hand battle now. The rife
caught In a clump Of brush twenty
feet below. Dan called on every ounce
of his strength, because he knew what
mercy he might expect If Cranston
mastered him. The battles Of the
mountains were battles to the death.
They flung back and forth, wrench
ing shoulders, lashing fists, teeth and
feet and fingers There were no Mar
quis of Queensberry rules In this bat
tie. Again and again Dan sent home
his blows; but they all seemed inef-
fective. BY now, Cranston had COM
pletely overcome the moments advan-
tage the other had obtained by the
power Of his leap. He hurled Dan
from the cHnch and dashed at him
with hard fists.
1t is very common thing to hear
of a silent fight But 1t is really a
more rare occurrence than most peo-
pie believe. 1t is true that serpents

eerie silence; but human beings are
not serpArts. They partake more Of
the qualities of the meat-eaters-th
wolves and felines. After the first
instant. the noise of the fight aroused
the whole hillside. The sound of blows
was in itself notable, and besides, both
If the men were bowling the prim-
ordial battle cries of hatred and ven
geance.
For two long minutes Dan fought
with the strength of desperation, sum
moning at last all that mysterious re-
serve force with which all men are
born. But he was playing losing
game. The malady with which he had
suffered had taken too much Of his
vigor. Even as he struggled, 1t seemed
to him that the vista about him the
dark pines, the colored leaves Of che
perennial shrubbery, the yellow path

coldness, ian opportunity to take that
back. Just about four seconds
lie stood very straight as he spoke,
and his eyes did not waver In the
least. 1t would not be the truth to say
that his heart was not leaping like
wild thing In his breast. A dark
mist was spreading like madness over
his brain; but yet he was striving to
keep his thoughts clear. Stealthily,
without seeming to do so, he was set
ting his muscles for spring.
The only answer to his words was
laugh-a roaring laugh Of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter his intent, catlike vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw chance; feeble
though it was, 1t was the only chance
he had And his long body leaped like
serpent through the air.
Physical superior though he was
Cranston would have repealed the at
tack with his rifle If he had had e
chance His blood was already at
the murder heat-a point always
quickly reached In Cranston-and the
dark, hot fumes in his brain were
simply nothing more nor less than the
most poisonous, bitter hatred. No
other word exists. II his class of de-
generate mountain men had no other
accomplishment, they could hate. All
their lives they practiced the emotion:
hatred of their neighbors hatred or
law hatred of civilization in all Its
FORMS Besides, this kind of hillman
habitually fought his duels with rifles.
Hands were not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack WIS one of the most
astounding surprises of Cranstons life.
Dams body struck his, his fists failed,
and to protect himself, Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle. They stag
gered, as If In some weird dance, on
the trail; and their arms clasped in
clinch.
For long instant they stood strain
ing, seemingly motionless. Cranston's
powerful body had stood up we'll under
the shock of Dams leap. 1t was a

Synopsis. -Warned by his physi-
clan that he has not more than six
months to live, Dan Failing sits
despondently on park bench, won
dering where he should spend those
six months. Memories of his grand
father and a deep love for all
things of the wild help him In
reaching a decision. In a large
southern Oregon city he meets
people who had known and loved
his grandfather, a famous from
tieesman. He makes his home with
Silas Lennox, a typical westerner.
The only other members of the
household are Lennox's son, BILL"

been told Is his. From the first

are attacked by a mad coyote.
Lennox declares he is a renearna-
ton of his grandfather, Dan Fail
ing 1, whose fame as woodsman
is a household word. Dan learns
that an organized band of outlaws,
of which Bert Cranston is the
leader, is setting forest fires. Ian
dry Hldreth, former member of
the gang, has been induced to turn

Bull Batting.

This was Ii sport once popular In
England, but declared Illegal In 1885.
A bull was attacked by dogs, and
sometimes the nostrils Of the bull were
blown full of pepper to increase his
fury. Another form of the sport was
to fasten the bull to stake by long
rope and then set bulldogs at him, one
at time, which were trained 10 seize
the bull by the nose. The bulldog
