BOOK TWO
The Debt.
CHAPTER I.

September was AT IFS last days on
the umpqua dlyide-~that far wilder
ness of endless. tree-elad 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
en- September days were done. The
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 filing them with stores of
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing 1t. except
that culver at the end of their tails
told them to do so; but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change of
all. In these days of summer, was
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
ticularly pronounced. All the forest
voices added to 1.-THE wall of the
geese. the sad fluttering of fallen
leaves. and even the whisper of the
north wind. OF course all the tones
and voices of the wilderness sound
clearest at night---for that is the time
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
tain, could hear them very plainly.
1t was true that In the two months
he had spent In the mountains ne had
learned to be very receptive to the

voices of the wilderness. Lennox had
not been mistaken In thinking him a
natural woodsman. He had magma
ton and insight and sympathy; but
most of all he had heritage of wood
lore from his frontiersmen ancestors.
Two months before he had been n
resident of cities. Now the wilder
ness had claimed him, body and soul.
These had been rare days. At first
he had TO limit his expeditions TO
few miles each day, and even then he
would come In at night staggering
from WEAKNESS. He climbed hills
that seemed to tear his diseased lungs
to Shreds. Lennox wouldn't have been
afraid, In a crisis, TO trust his marks
manship now. He had the natural
cold nerve of q marksman, and one
twilight he brought the body of lynx
tumbling through the branches of a
pine at a distance of two hundred
yards. He got so he could shatter a
grouse out of the air in the half OF a
second or so In which its bronze wings
gllnted In the shrubbery; and when
man may do this fair number of
times out of ten he is on the straight
road toward greatness.
Then there came day when Dan
caught his first steelhead in the North
Fork. There is no more beautiful
thing in the wilderness world than a
steeIhead trout IN action He simply
seems TO dance on the surface OF the
water, leaping again and again. and
racing at an unheard-of speed down
the ripples. He weighs only from
three TO fifteen pounds. But now and
again amateur fishermen without souls
have tried to pull him In with main
strength. and are still somewhat
dazed Dy the result II might be done

not one of the other pitchers of that
delivery was as good as Walsh or as
threatening TO the hitter's chances of
making good batting average"
Few will disagree with Quinn that
Walsh was the most effective of all
pitchers who used the saliva ball.
Next to him the one who knew the
workings of the delivery better than
anybody else and who came nearer
to making it scientifically effective
was Jack Chesbro. He and Walsh
were master of it, though there may
be those who maintain that Coveles-
kie is almost, if not quite, as expert
with II as Chesbro.
Burleigh Grimes also ranks high as
to skill with the wet fling, but he uses
IL a great deal, whereas Dick Rudolph
and the disgraced Cicotte were quite
as skillful with it, but didn't employ
1t as much. They employed 1t more
in conjunction with other deliveries.
Urban Shoeker has as puzzling spit
ball as there is at present, one with
as deceptive quirks as Chesbro's, ball
players say, but he bluffs good deal
with IL. He uses a curve bali often
when making the motions of the moist
ball, and uses the two as part of eff
fectiye strategy. Quinn is using the
curve ball himself some, nowadays.

tONSIbER PLAN TO Fl
~ BOOST FISH CULTURE

What State authorities consider a
handicap to fish culture by the State
may be removed if plans of the Con-
servation Commission are carried into
effect. The Commission has been
leasing ponds in the western section
OF the State. These ponds. it is said.
are frequently not altogether suitable
for breeding purposes. The proposal
is for the State TO construct its own
ponds on the State game farm at
Gwynnbrook, Baltimore county.
Such construction. however, will
cost about $4,000 a year for two
years. it is estimated, and the Com
mission is without the requisite funds.
The Game Warden's office, which has
an annual income gof some s120,000
from hunters licenses. is in easier
circumstances. il is. said, &
The project, accordingly, is to trans
fer the fish breeding ACTIVITIES to the
State game farm. and to charge the
necessary debts to the account of the
Game Warden's fund.
