SYNOPSIS.-At the death of his
foster father Bruce Duncan, in an
eastern city. receives a mysterious
message, sent by Mrs. Ross, sum-
moning him peremptorily to south
ern Oregon-to meet Linda"
Bruce has vivid but battling recol-

Newton Duncan, with the girl Lin
da. At his destination, Trails End,
news that a message has been sent
to Bruce gets TO Simon Turner.
Leaving the train, Bruce Is aston

with the surroundings, though to
his knowledge he has never been
there. On the way Simon warns

! days of hunger once the snow came
over the land. The black bear saw
the signs and began a desperate effort
to lay up as many extra pounds OF
fat as possible before the SHOWS broke.
He would have need of the extra flesh.
| The time was coming when all sources
| of food would be cut off by the SHOWS,
and he would have to seek the security
| of Information. He had already chos-
en- an underground abode for himself
and there he could doZe away In the
cold-trance through the winter months,
subsisting on the supplies of fat that
he had stored next to his furry hide.
The greatest Of all the bears, the
Killer, knew that some such fate
awaited him also. But he looked for
ward to it with wretched spirit. He
was master of the forest, and perhaps
he did not like to yield even to the
spirit of winter. His savagery grew
upon him every day, and his dislike
| for men had turned to a veritable
When he crossed their trails again,
he would not wait to stalk. They were
apt to slip away from him In this case
and sting him numerically with bull
lets. The thing to do was charge
quickly and strike with all his power.
The three minor wounds he had re-
ceived-two from pistol bullets and
one from Bruce's rifle-had not lessened
his strength at all. They did, how
ever, serve to keep his blood-heat at
the explosive stage most of the day
and night.
The flowers and the grasses were dy-
ing; the moths that paid calls on the
flowers had laid their eggs and had
persisted, and winter lurked-ready to
pounce forth-just beyond the distant
mountains. There Is nothing so
thoroughly unreliable as the mountain
autumn. 1t may linger in enhancing
Colds and browns month after month,
until it Is almost time for spring to
come again; and again it may make
one short bow and usher in the winter.
To Bruce and Linda, in the old Fol-
ger home in Trails End, these fall
days offered the last hope of success
in their war against the Turner's.
The adventure in the pasture with
the Killer had handicapped them to
an unlooked-for degree. Bruce's
muscles had been severely strained
by the bonds; several days had
elapsed before he regained their full
use. Linda was a mountain girl,
hardy as deer, yet her nerves had
suffered a greater shock by the ex-
perience than either Of them had
guessed. The wild ride, the fear and
the stress, and most of all the base
blow that Simon had dealt her had

to go to bed for few days of rest.
Old Elmira worked about the house

that went down to the roots of things,
her as to her scene with Dave Turner
in the coverts; and what thoughts
dwelt in her ageI mind neither Of
them could guess.
The truth was That in these short
weeks of trial and danger whatever
dreadful events had come to pass In
that meeting were worth neither
thought nor words. Both Bruce and
Linda were down to essentials. 1t Is
a descent that most human beings
some time in their lives-fnd they are
able to make; and there was no room
for sentimentality or hysteria in this
grim household. The ideas, the soft
