CHAPTER XVIII

The homeward journey over the
ridges had meant only pleasure to
Bruce. The days had been full Of
little nerve-tingling adventures, and
the nights full of peace. And beyond
all these, there was the hope Of seeing
Linda again at the end Of the trail.
It was strange how he remembered
her kiss. He had known other kisses
in his days-being purely rational
aud healthy young man-but there had
been nothing of Immortality about
them. Their warmth had died quickly,
and they had been FORGOTTEN. They

CHAPTER XVII

The day was quite dead when Dave
Turner reached his post on top of the
ridge. Fortunately, the moon rose
early. Otherwise Dawes watch would
have been in vain. He didn't have
long to wait At the end of a half
hour he saw, through the field glasses,
the wavering of a strange black

be just the shadow of deer, come to
browse on the parched grass. Dave
felt little tremor of excitement at
the thought that If it were not Bruce,
it was more likely the last Of the
grizzlies, the Killer. The previous
night the gray forest king had made
an excursion into Simon's pastures
and had killed yearling calf; in all
probability he would return tonight to
finish his feast. In fact, this night
would in all probability see the end of
the Killer. Some one of the Turner's
would wait for him, with a loaded
rifle in safe ambush.
But it wasn't the Killer, after all. It
was before his time; besides, the
shadow was too slender to be that Of
the huge bear. Dave Turner watched
a moment longer. so that there could
be no possibility of mistake. Bruce
was returning; he was little more
than half-hour's walk from Linda's
home.

dashed the animal into a gallop. Less
than five minutes later he drew up to
halt beneath the Sentinel Pine, al
most a mile distant. For the first
time, Dave began to move cautiously.
1t would complicate matters If the
two women had already gone to bed.

Bruce's father, Matthew Folger,

doorway sets off a target almost as
we'll as a field of white sets off a black
bull's-eye.
Dave knew the truth was the proper
course "Dave Turner" he replied.
A long second of heavy, strange ST.
lence ensued. Then the woman spoke
again. There was a new note in her
voice, a curious hoarSeneSs, but at the
same time sense of exultation and
excitement. But Dave didn't notice
it. He might, however, have been in
terested in the singular look of Fons
der that flashed over Linda's face as
she stared at her aged aunt. Linda
was not thinking of Dave. Her whole
attention was seized and held by the
unfamiliar note in her aunt's voice,
and strange drawing of the woman's
features that the closed door prevent
ed Dave from seeing. 1t was look
almost of rapture, hardly to be ex-
pected In the presence of an enemy.
The dim eyes seemed to glow in the
shadows. 1t was the look of one who
trails for uncounted years and sees
the distant lights of his home at last.
She got up from her chair and
moved over to the little pack she had
carried on her back when she had
walked up from her cabin. Linda still
gazed at her in growing wonder. The
long years seemed to have fallen away
from her; she slipped across the un-
carpeted floor with the agility and ST.
lence Of tiger. She always had given
the impression of latent power, but
never so much as now. She took some
little object from the bag and slipped
it next to her withered and scrawny
breast.
What do you want" she called out
into the gloom.
Dave had been getting a little rest
less in the silence; but the voice reas-
sured him. "I'll tell you when you open
the door. It's something about
Bruce"
Linda remembered him then. She
leaped to the door and flung it wide.
She saw the stars without, the dark
fringe of pines against the sky line be-
hind. But most of all she saw the
cunning, sharp-featured face of Dave
Turner, with the candlelight upon him.
The yellow beams were in his eyes.
too. They seemed full of guttering
lights.
The few times that Linda had talked
to Dave she had always felt uneasy
beneath his speculative gaze. The
same sensation swept over her now.
She knew perfectly what she would
have had to expect. long since, from
this man, were it not that he had lived
in fear Of his brother Simon. The
mighty leader of the clan had set q
barrier around her as far as personal
attentions went-and his reasons were
obvious. The mountain girls do not
usually attain her perfection of form
and face; his desire for her was as
jealous as it was intense and real. This
dark-hearted man Of great and terrible
emotions did not only know how to
hate. In his own savage way he could
love too. Linda hated and feared him.
but the emotion was wholly different
from the dread and adherence with
which she regarded Dave. "What
about Bruce" she demanded.
Dave leered "Do you want to see
him? He's lying-up here on the HILL"
The tone was knowing, edged with
cruelty; and it had the desired effect.
The color swept from the girls face.
In single fraction of an instant It
showed stark white in the candlelI9ht.

of that voice. mo one would have ever

would ever know it now. They'd find

there'd be no one to point to. They'd
never get anything against us. tell
you-it's all the way, or no way at all.
Tell me to wait for him on the trail"
"Wait. Wait minute. How long
before he will come?"
"Any time now. And don't postpone
this matter any more. We're men,
not babies. He's not fool or cow
ard. either. And he's shot-I saw
that plain enough-and how'd you
like to have him shoot through your
windows some time? Old Elmira and
for it."
81 wish you'd got that old heifer
when you got her son." Simon said.
He still spoke calmly; but it was
plain enough that Dawes words were
having the desired effect. $50 he's
taken up the. blood-feud, has he? 1
thought l gave his father some lessons
in that long time since. Well, sup
pose we must let him have his way!"
"And remember, too," Dave urged,
what you told him when you met him
in the store. You said you wouldn't
warn him twice"
Il remember" The two men were
silent, but Dave stood no longer mo-
tionless. He was shivering all over
with malice and fury.
'"Then you've given the word?" he
asked.
I've given the word, but I'll do it
my own way. Listen, Dave" Simon
stood, head bent, deep in thought.
"Could you arrange to have Linda
and the old hag out of the house when
Bruce gets back?"
"Yes-"
"We've got to work this thing right.
We can't operate in the open like we
used to. This man has taken up the
blood-feud-but the thing to dds to
let him come to us"
"But he won't do it. He'll go to the
courts first"

mean we will want to give the impress
sion that he attacked us first-on his
own free will. What if he comes into
our hOuse-a man unknown N these
parts-and something happens to him
therein the dead of night? 1t
wouldn't look so bad them would it?
Besides-if we got him heretofore

where that document is. First, how
can you tell when the's going to
Gomez"
The moons bright and 1 can get up
ON the ridge and see his shadow
through your field glasses when he
crosses the big south pasture. That
will give me full half-hour before he
comes"
Its enough. I'm ready to give you
your orders now. They are-just to
use your head. and on some pretext
get those two women out of the house
so that Bruce can't find them when he
returns. Don't let them come back
for an hour, if you can help it. If 1t
works-all right. If it doesn't, We'll
use more direct measures. I'll tend to
the rest"
He strode TO the wall and took
down a saddle from the hook. Quick
ly he threw it over the back of one of
the cow ponies, the animal that he had
punished. He put the bride in Dawes
hand. stop at the house for the
glasses, then ride to the ridge at

Simon smiled mirthlessly. "The
news is beginning to sound like the
rest of yours"
"Old Hudson is dead" Dave went
on. "And don't look att me-i didn't
do it. wish l had, though, first off.
For once my judgment was better
than yours The Killer got him.
"Yes Go on"
''I was with him when it happened.
My gun got jammed so l couldn't
shoot"
Where is it now2
Dave scrambled in vain for a story
to explain the loss of his weapon to
Bruce, and the one that came out at
last didn't do him particular credit.
"I-I threw the d-n thing away.
Wish | hadn't now, but 1t made me so
mad by jamming-it was a fool trick.
Maybe can go back after 1t and find
It,"
Simon smiled again. "Very good so
far" he commented.
Dave flushed Bruce was there,
tOO-fact is. creased the bear-and
the last minute before he died Hudson
told him where the agreement was
hidden. l couldn't hear all he said
1 was too far away-but l heard
enough to think that he told Bruce
the hiding place."
1.And why didn't you get that infor-
nation away from Bruce with your
gunT
Didn't l tell you the thing was
Jammed? If 1t hadn't of been for that,
I'd done something more than find out
where it is. I'd stopped this nom
sense once and for all, and let a hole
through that tenderfoot big enough to
see through. Then there'd never be
any more trouble. It's the thing to do
now"
Simon looked at his brothers face
with some wonder. More crafty and
cunning, Dave was like the coyote in
that he didn't yield so quickly to fury
as that gray wolf. his brother. But
when it did come. it scared him. 1t
had come now Simon couldn't mis-
take the fact; he saw it plain in the
glowing eyes, the clenched hands, the
drawn lips. Dave was remembering
the pain of the blow Bruce had given
him and the smart of the words that
had preceded it.
"YOu and he must have had little
session down there by the creek"
Simon suggested slowly, when your
gun was jammed. OF course, he took
the gun. What's the use of trying to
lie to me2"
He did What could l do?"
''And now you want him potted-

face In the quiet and deepening dusk
Of the barn; and there was growing
determination on each face. Every
day our chance Is less and less," Dave
went on. with this land behind him,
