and the brush made perfect cover.
But the doe unfortunately was stand
ing a full twenty yards farther, in an
open glade Under ordinary circum-
stances, Whisperfoot would not have
made an attack. A cougar can run
swiftly. hut deer Is light itself. The
big cat would have preferred 10 linger,
motionless thing in the thickets,
hoping some other member of the deer
herd TO which the doe must have be-
longed would come into his ambush.
But the hunt was late, and Whisper
foot was very, very angry. Too many
times this night he had missed his
kill In desperation. he leaped from
the thicket and charged the deer.
In spite of the preponderant odds
against him, the charge was almost
success. lie went fully half the dis
lance between them before the deer
perceived him. Then she leaped.
There seemed 10 be no interlude or
time between the instant that she be-
held the DIM tawny figure in the air
and that in which her long legs pushed
out In a spring. But she didn't leap
straight ahead. She knew enough Of
the cougars 10 know that the great
cat would certainly aim for her head
and neck in the same way that duck
hunter leads a fast-hying duck-hop-
ing to intercept her leap. Even as her
feet left the ground she seemed TO
whirl in the air. and the deadly talons
whipped down In vain. Then, cutting
back In front, she raced down wind.
! IL Is usually the most unmitigated
! folly for cougar to chase a deer
against which he has missed his
stroke; and 1t Is also quite fatal to his
dignity. And whoever doubts for
minute that the larger creatures have
no dignity, and that II Is not very dear
to them, simply knows nothing about
| the ways Of animals. They cling TO
! II TO the death. But tonight one dis
| appointment after another had crum-
bled, as the rains crumble leaves, the
last vestlge OF Whlsperfoots self-con-
troll. Snarling in fury, he bounded
after the doe.
! She was lost to sight at once In
the darkness, but for fully thirty yards
he raced in her pursuit. II he had
stopped to think, II would have been
one of the really great surprises OF
his life to hear the sudden, unmis-
taxable stir and movement Of a large,
living creature not fifteen feet distant
In the thicket.
He didn't stop to think at ALL He
didn't puzzle on the extreme unlikeli-
hood of doe hating In her flight from
a cougar. II is doubtful whether, In
the thickets, he had any perceptions
OF the creature other than its move

so II is certain that he didn't smell II.
II he saw II at all, II was Just as a
shadow. sufficiently large to be that

but weighing fully twenty pounds
more, and the dark, narrow eyes could
belong TO no one but Bert Cranston.
He carried his rifle loosely in his arms.
He stopped at the forks in the trail
and looked carefully in all directions
Dan had every reason To think that
Cranston would see him at first glance.
Only one clump of thicket sheltered
him. But because Dan had learned
the lesson of standing still, because
his olive-drab sporting clothes blended
softly with the colored leaves, Grams
ton did not detect him. He turned
and strobe on down the trail.
He didn't move quite like man
with innocent purposes. There was
something stealthy, something sinister
in his stride, and the way he kept
such n sharp lookout in all directions.
Yet he never glanced to the trail for
deer tracks. as he would have done
had he been hunting. Without even
waiting to mediate on the matter,
Dan started TO shadow him.
Before one hundred yards had been
traversed, he could better understand
the Joy the cougar takes in his hunt
ing. 1t was the same process-a eau
tious, silent advance in the trail OF
prey. He had to walk with the same
caution. he had to take advantage OF
the thlckets. He began TO feel curl
Gus excitement.
Cranston seemed to be moving more
carefully now, examining the brush
along the trail. Now and then he
glanced up at the tree tops And all
at once he stopped and knelt In the
dry shrubbery.
At first all that Dan could see was
the glitter OF knife blade. Grams
ton seemed to be whiting a piece Of
dead pine into fine shavings. Now
he was gathering pine needles and
small twigs, making a little pile OF
them. And then. just as Cranston
drew his match. Dan saw his purpose.
Cranston was at his old trade-set-
ting forest fire.
