he hadn't guessed they would try to

They measured each other with their

and becasse the darkness always fades

CranstOn was also upon his feet the

And then this dark-hearted man, who
had never known the meaning Of mer-

in the evergreen boughs. It seemed
merciless and endless.
But Dan got up al last, in a strange.

work. He took the rifle and flied 1t
with cartridges from Cranston's belt.
Then he put the remaining two boxes
