CHAPTER II-continued.

And as for Whlsperfoot-the terror
that choked his heart with blood be-
gan to wear off In a little while. The
man lay so. still in the thlckets. Be
sides. there was strange, Wild smell
in the afr. Whisperfoot's stroke had
gone home so true there had not even
been fight. The darkness begnn to
lift around him, and strange eyulta-
ton, a rapture unknown before In all
his hunting, began to creep into his
wild blood. Then. rs n shadow steals,
he went creeping back to his dead.

Dan Failing had been studying ma
ture on the high ridges; and he went
home by hack trail that led TO old
Bald mountain. The tr6II was lust
narrow serpent in the brush; and
II had not been made by gangs of
laborers, working with shovels and
picks. Possibly half a dozen white
men, in all. had ever walked along II.
1t was just the path of the wild crea-
lures, worn down by hoof and paw
and cushion since the young days OF
the world.
1t was roundabout trail home,
but yet It had its advantages. 1t took
him within two miles Of Snowbird's
lookout station, and at this hour of
day he had been particularly fortunate
in finding her at certain spring on
the mountain side. II was rather sim
gular coincidence. Along about four

ing up that way. Strangely enough,
at the same time, II was true that
she had an irresistible impulse to 20
down and sit in the green ferns beside
the same spring. They always seemed
to be surprised to see one another. In
reality, either of them would have
been considerably more surprised had
the other failed to put In an appear.
Hnce. And always they had long talks
as the afternoon drew to twilight.
"But don't think you ought to wait
so late before starting home," the girl
would always say. you're not O
human hawk, and 1t is easier to gel
lost than you think"
And this sOllcItude, Dan rightly Az
ured, was a good sign. There wa,
only one objection 10 1t. 1t resulted
in an unmistakble inference that she
considered him unable to take car,

thing on earth that he wanted hel

question why, every day, he trod s,
many weary miles to be with her.
She was as natural as a fawn; an,
many times she had quite taken ava,
his breath. And once she did Il liter
ally. He didn't think that so long a
death spared him he would ever b,
able TO forget that experience. II wa

heart, at her fathers house. In the
trysting hour he had come trudging
over the hills with II, and few expert
ences in his life had ever yielded such
unmltIgated pleasure as the sight of
her, glowing white and red, as she took
of its wrapping paper. II was q jolly
old gift, he recollected-and when she
had seen 1t, she fairly leaped at him.
Her warm, round arms around his
neck, and the softest. loveliest lips In
the world pressed his. But in those
days he didn't have the strength TINT
he had now. He felt he could endure
the same experience again with no
embarrassment whatever. His frst i'm
preston then, besides abounding, In
credible establishment, was that she
had quite knocked out his breath. But
let II be said for him that he recov-
cred with notable promptness. His
own arms had gone up and closed
around her. and the girl had wriggled
free.
"But you mustn't do thatl'' she told
him.
But good Lord, girl You did It
TO me! Is there no justice In womenT"
But l did It to thank you for this
lovely gift. For remembering me-
for being so good-and considerate.
You haven't any cause to thank me-"
He had many serious difficulties in
thinking It out. And only one con-
clusion was obtainable-that Snowbird
kissed as naturally as she did any
thing else, and the kiss meant exactly
what she said II did and no more.
But the fact remained that he would
have walked good many miles far
ther II he thought there was any pos
slbility Of a repeat.
But oil at once his fantasies were
suddenly and rudeIy dispelled by the
intrusion OF realities. Dan had been
walking silently himself In the pine
needles. As Lennox had wondered at

peril He understood perrectIx what
was going on IN Crnnston's mind. Tbs'
hre-fend was culmly deciding WHISTLER
70 shoot or whether to bluh II out.
One required no more moral courage
than the other. II really didn't mike
great deal Of difference to Cranston.
But he decided that the killing was
not worth the cartridge. The other
course was too casy. He did not even
dream that Dan had been shndowing
him and had seen Ills intention. He
would have laughed at the Idea that a
"tenderfoot" could thus walk behind
him, unheaRd. without concern, he
scattered with his foot the little heap
Of kindling, and slipping his pipe into
his mouth. he touched the faring
match TO II. II was wholly admir-
able little piece Of acting. and would
have deceived any one who had not
seen bis previous preparations. Then
he walked on down the trail toward
Dan.
Dan stopped and lighted his own
pipe. II was a curious little truce.
And then he leaned back against the
great gray trunk of fallen tree.
'Well, Cranston," he said clviliy.
The men had met on previous oc.
casions, and always there had been
the same invisible war between them.
"How do you do, Falling" Cranston
replied. No perceptions could be so
blunt as to miss the premedltated IN
suit In the tone. He didn't speak In
his own tongue at all. the short. gut
tural "Howdy" TINT Is the greeting
of the mountain men. He pronounced
all the words with an exaggerated pre-
cision, an unmlstakable mockery Of
Dams own tone. In his accent he
threw a tone Of slckly sweetness. and
his Inference was oil too plain. He
was simply calling Failing a, mllksop
and white-llyer; Just as plainly as
II he had used the words.
The eyes of the two men met.
Cranston's lips were slightly curied IN
an unmistakable leer Dams were
very straight. And in one thing al

long ago. he knew how by instinct
and instinctively he practlced this at
tainment as soon as he got out into
the wild. The creature he had heard
was fully one hundred yards distant,
yet Dan could hear him with entire
plalnness. And for a while he couldn't
even guess what manner Of thing II
might be.

DAYTON, WASH, MAN
HAS FINE ORCHARD

According to A. ID. Moe, who recent

fruit grower. has one of the mos
highly developed apple tracts on tht
Pacific Coast.
This is saying good DEAL" says
Mr.. Moe, "but Mr.. Ryerson has the
evidence. His tract is ideally set -four
miles from town in rich bottom land.
He has plenty of free water. His air
drainage is so good that he suffered
practically no damage from the heavy
freeze of 1919. Mr.. Ryerson has rs
acres of bearing trees, and they al
ways yield excellently.
"Mr. Ryerson has an apple house
complete for the work of harvesting
and packing out of his fruit. 1t is two
stories high and has a basement. 1t
will hold several carloads of apples.
He estimates this years crop at 80, =
600 boxes.
''He manufactures his own spray
material. He has complete plant on
bis place. He is fortunate in having
been in the drug business for many
years and is skilled pharmacist and
chemist and understands the mixing of
spray materials. He gets excellent
results, for out of crop of about 90
600 boxes last year he had only Is
wormy apples.
"Mr. Ryerson operates two spray
machines. He keeps one crew con
stantly busy applying the solution to
trees, while the other machine is driv-
en- to the filling station. Thus he is
able to cover IL to Is acres daily. The
two machines are operated with a crew
of four men and thus the time usually
wasted while single machine is being
filled is eliminated.
Mr.. Ryerson has plenty of bunk
houses on his orchard place. He has
his own water system under high pres
sure. The water is piped to his own
residence and four tenant houses.
There is but one thing that he
doesn't do which we follow in our
orchards. He never thlns his fruit.
He says he has a system of pruning
that causes the trees to thin them
selves.
''He has direct connections with
large Chicago fruit firm, which take

the last several years have been better |

WEATHER MAN CALLS
 OFF THE COLD WAVE

The cold wave, predicted yesterday for today has apparently been post- poned indefinitely. With a summer like temperature ranging between 70 and 30 degrees today, there are no signs of the freezing weather fore cast, and today's prediction states that there will be little change in temperature.
