SYNOPSIS.

Warned by his physician that he
has not more than six months to
live, Dan Failing sits despondently
on park bench, wondering where
he should spend those six months.
Memories of his grandfather and a
deep love for all things of the
wild help him in reaching a deci
sion. In a large southern Oregon
city he meets people who had
known and loved his grandfather,
a famous frontiersman. He makes
his home with Silas Lennox, a typ
ical westerner. The only other
members of the household are
Lennox's son, BILL" and daugh-
ter, "Snowbird." Their abode is
in the Umpqua divide, and there
Failing plans to live out the short
span of life which he has been
told is his. From the first Failing's
health shows a marked improve
ment. aud in the companionship of
Lennox and his son and daughter
he fits into the woods life as II he
had been born to 1t. By quick
thinking and a remarkable display
of nerve" he saves Lennox's life
and his own when they are at
tackled by mad coyote. Lennox
declares he is a reincarnation Of
his grandfather, Dan Failing /,
whose fame as a woodsman is a
household word.

would want to procure one of these
creatures.
But I'm not sure I want to hunt
deer" Dan told him: ''You speak of
them as being so beautiful
"They are beautiful and your
grandfather would never hunt them,
either, except for meat. But maybe
you'll change your mind when you see
buck. Besides, we might run into a
lynx or panther. But not very like
ly, without dogs"
They trudged up, over the carpet of
pine needles. They fought their way
through thicket of buckbrush. Once
they saw the gray squirrels in the tree
tops. And before Lennox had as much
as supposed they were near the haunts
Of big game, yearling doe sprang up
from it's bed in the thickets.
For an instant she stood motionless,
presenting a perfect target. It vas
evident that she had heard the sound
of the approaching hunters, but had
not as yet located or identified them
with her near-sighted eyes. Lennox
whirled to find Dan standing very
still, peering along the barrel of his
rifle. But he didn't shoot. The deer,
seeing Lennox move, leaped into her
terror-pace-that astounding run that
is one of the fastest gaits in the whole
animal world. In the wink of an eye
she was out of sight.
"Why didn't you shoots? Lennox de-
manded.
"Shoot? 1t was a doe, wasn't itT'
Good Lord, of course it was a doe!
But there are no game laws that go
back this far. Besides-you aimed at
