figure, few down the trail in front.
Cranston pressed back the hammer of
his rifle. The click sounded loud In
the silence. He had grown tense and
still, and the leaves no longer rustled.
His eyes were intent on a little
clearing, possibly one hundred yards
up the trail. The trail itself went
straight through 1t. And In an in
slant more. Hildreth pushed through
the buckbrush and stood revealed in
the moonlight.
If there Is one quality that
success in the mountains ii is con-
slant, unceasing self-control. Gran
ston thought that he had 1t. But per-
haps he had waited too long for Hill
dreth to come: and the strain had told
on him. He had sworn to take no
false steps: that every motion he
made should be cool and sure. He
didn't want to attract Hildreth's at
tention by any sudden movement. All
must be cautious and stealthy. But
In spite of all these good resolutions,
Cranston's gun simply ieaped to his
shoulder In one c~onvulsive motion at
the first glimpse Of his enemy as he
emerged into the. moonlight.
The end Of the barrel struck a
branch or the shrubbery as II went
up. 1t was only a soft sound /; but In
the utter silence It travelled far. The
gun barrel caught the moonlight as II
leaped, and Hildreth saw Its CLINT In
the darkness.
He was looking for trouble. He had
dreaded this long walk to the settle
ments more than any experience OF
his life. He didn't know why the let
ter he had written. asking for an
armed escort down to tile courts, had
nor brought results. But Il was
wholly possible that Cranston would
have answered mis- questiuN . him.

ston knelt in q brush covert, his rifle
loaded and ready in his lean, dark
hands.
No wolf that ran the ridges, no
cougar that waited on the deer trails
knew a wilder passion, a more terrible
bloOd-lust than he. IL showed In his
eyes, narrow and never resting from
their watch of the trail: II was in his
posture; and II revealed itself unmis-
takably in the curl of his lips. Some
thing like hot steam was in his brain,
blurring his sight and heating his
blood.
The pine needles hung wholly mo-
~tionless above his head; but yet the
dead leaves on which he knelt crinkled
and rustled under him. Only the keen
est ear could have heard the sound
and possibly in his madness, Cranston
himself was not a of It. And one
would have wondered>a long time as
TO what caused it. 1t was simply that
he was shivering all over with hate
and fury.
A twig cracked. far on the ridge
above him. He leaned forward, peer
ing, and the moonlight showed his
face in u%nsparing detail. 1t revealed
the deep lines, the terrible, drawn
lips, the ugly~hair long over the dark
ears. His strong hands frightened
upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry
figure grew tense.
OF course It wouldn't do TO let his
prey come too close. Laudy Hildreth
was a good shot too, young as Gran
ston, and OF equal strength and no
sporting chance could be taken in this
hunting. Cranston had no intention
of giving his enemy even the slightest
chance to defend himself. If Hildreth
got down into the valley, his testi-
mony would make short work of the
arson ring. He had the goods he had
been ii member OF the disreputabie
crowd himself.
The mans steps were quite distinct
by now. Cranston heard him fighting
his way through the brush thickets,
and once a flock of grouse, frightened

Down in Greenwich Village there are scores of odd-named restaurants and tea rooms with sawdust on the floor and a very poor jazz orchestra that cater to the out -of-town visitor and uptown folks, but very few of them serve any dishes that are worthy of mention. The majority of the cafes serve near-beer and sand wiches that have a little of every thing in them that the maker could lay his hands on. The exceptions are found near Washington Square, where there are cafes that have served good food for a reasonable price for years, and they have a patronage that some of the uptown cafes would be proud of.
 One of the best of these cafes is owned by an Italian company and the other night we were served fresh beef tongue that was so delicious that showed the chef my card and he told me that he would give me the recipe if I would promise not to use it in New York.
 Fresh Beef Tongue-ltalian
 For this dish one should have a nice fresh beef tongue Dip the tongue in boiling water for a minute. remove and scrape off the skin with knife. Parboil the tongue in boil ing water for one hour. Place the parboiled tongue in a saucepan with four tablespoons of butter a sliced onion, two branches of parsley. a sliced carrot and brown slightly. Add half cup of orange juice. five cups of brown stock and two tomatoes cut in pieces Place a cover on the pan and allow the tongue to simmer In | hn fnv frrn f,rrr fr,r occasionally. After two hours the liquid should be reduced to thick brown sauce Remove the tongue and slice it; place 1t on hot platter as if it were whole. Strain the sauce and remove the fat. Parboil in half a cup of orange juice three blanched and chopped almonds, three table spoons of seedless raisins, and three l tablespoons of Sultana raisins; when the raisins are plump add to the hot sauce, mix well and pour over the tongue. Serve with this dish a greer salad and a dish of spaghetti mixed with some of the sauce from the tongue.
 Tip of Beef with Horseradish Sauce Roast sirloin tip of beef was very tasty served with a fresh horseradisf sauce. Place a four or five-pound l piece of sirloin tip of beef in a par and bake in a moderate oven unti

Little Stories For Bedtime

THE STRANGE TRACKS IN THE
 OLD pASTtIRE


 feter Rabbit stared and stared at tne tracks in the soft mud Of the swamp In the Old Pasture. He would look first at the tracks, then at his own feet. and finally back to the tracks again. He scratched his long left ear with his long left hind foot Then he scratched his long right ear. with his long right hind foot, all the time staring his hardest at those strange tracks They certainly were the tracks of a rabbit. and it was equally certain that they were not his own
 They are too big for mine. and they are too small for Jumper the H2re'S Besides. Jumper Is in the Green Forest and not way off up heres~ said Peter to himself. .I won c<r-well I wonder if he will try to drive me away
 You see Peter knew that if he had fcnnd A strange Rabbit in his dear Old Rrier Patch he certainly would have tried his best to drive him out, fer he felt that the Old Brier Patch n<lcnged to him. Now he wondered tf the maker of these tracks would feel the same way about the Old Pas sureA Peter looked troubled as he thought it over. Then his face cleared

 Peter swelied himself out and tried tc look as big as he could when he eaid this. but swelling himself out this way reminded him of how stiff and sore he was from the wounds given him by Hooty the Owl, and he made a wry face. You see he realized all of a sudden that he didn't feel much like fighting.
 NY said Peter. T guess better find out all about this other fellow before I have any trouble with him. The old Pasture looks big enough for . lot of Rabbits. and perhaps. if I don't bother him he won't bother me. ! wonder what he looks like. I be- lieve I'll follow these tracks and see what can find"

Peter stopped at the foot of it and sat down to think it over. He knew what that tree meant per- fecfly well. He had one or two meas uring trees of his own on the edge of the Green Forest.

5s-Edish Makes a Strange Offer


 On Sunday morning I suggested that l take Robbie out for an airing; it would afford Dot little relief from his care So our child was put into his go-cart. and I was soon pushing him toward the park
 On the way I encountered Edith She burst into an exclamation of wonder at Robbie. Dot had dressed him very carefully, and I was com pelled to admit that the little fellow looked his best
 Why he's simply beautifuli" Edith exclaimed. T haven't seen him for a few weeks. but each time he gets better looking"
 Robbie obligingly showed off to the extent of a few words. He seemed to take to Edith.
 I'm just crazy about kiddies," !" Edith confided to me. She had never before said anything about this in- fatuatfon of hers, SO I could merely murmur assent. "Id like to borrow him for a week. she went on. Dot has so much else to do, don't you think she would lend | him to me?"
 Of course. she'll be glad to get rid of him." I replied lightly.
 "No, I'm in earnest. Don't you think Dot would let me have him I'd take awfully good care of him" Dot might consent, but I never would" Why not?"
 I'm afraid you'd vamp him." 1 Then his father would be safe from my wiles. I should think that would be an argument in favor of
