moning at last all that mysterious re-

game. The malndy with which he had
suffered had taken too much Of his
vigor. Even as he struggled, II seemed
to him that the vista about him, the
dark pines, the colored leaves of the
perennial shrubbery, the yellow path
were all obscured in a strange: white
mist. A great wind roared In his ears
and his heart was evidently about
to shiver to pieces.
But still he fought on, not daring to
yield. He could no longer parry Grams

Dan felt himself straighten; and the
color mounted somewhat higher in his
brown cheeks. But he did not try to
avenge the insult-yet. Cranston was
still fifteen feet distant, and that was
too far. A man may swing a rifle
within fifteen feet. The fact that they
were In no way physical equals did
not even occur TO him. When the In
suit is great enough, such consldera-
tions cannot possibly matter. Grams
ton was hard as steel, one hundred
and seventy pounds in weight. Dan did
not touch one hundred and fifty, and
deadly disease had not yet entirely
reinquished Its hold upon him.
II do very well, Cranston." Dan an-
swered in the same tone. "Wouldn't

Very little can be said for the wis.
dom of this remark. 1t was simply
human-thHt age-old creed to answer
blow for blow and insult for insult
OF course the inference was obvious
that Dan was accusing him, by innu-
cndo, of his late attempt at arson.
Cranston glanced up quickly, and It
might be true that his fingers itched
and tinGled about the barrel Of his
rifle. H knew what Dan meant. He
understood perfectly that Dan had
guessed his purpose ON the mountain
side. And the curl at his lips became
more pronounced.
"What a smart little boy" he
scorned. "Going to be a Sherlock
Holmes when he grows up" Then he
half turned and the light in his eyes
blazed up. He was not leering now

Dan puffed at his pipe, and his eyes
looked curiOusly bright through the
film Of smoke. I'm not interested In
hearing them" he said.
''It might pay you" Cranston went
on. "One OF 'em is that one mans
