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 half
hour he saw, through the field glasses.
the wayering of a strange black
shadow on the distant meadow. He
tried to get better focus. 1t might
be just the shadow of deer, come to
browse on the parched grass. Dave
felt little tremor Of excitement at
the thought. that IL 1t were not Bruce,
1t 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 a 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
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-12-14

would wait for him, with loaded
rife, in safe ambush.
But it wasn't the Killer, after all. 1t
was before his time; besides, the
shadow was too slender to be that or
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 a half-hour's walk from Linda's
home.
Turner swung on his horse, then
dashed the animal into a gallop. Less
, than FIVE minutes later he drew up to
a halt beneath the Sentinel Pine, al
most mile distant. For the first
time, Dave began to move cautiously.
1t would complicate matters II the
two women had already gone to bed.
i The hour was 'early--nOt yet nine
but the fall of darkness is often the
golng-to-bed time Of the mountain peo-
pie. 1t Is warmer there and safer;
and the expense Of candles Is leg
sered. But tonight Linda and old
Elmira were sitting up, waiting for
Bruce's return.
A candle flame fiickered at the win
dow. Dave went up to the door and
knocked.
"WhO's therer" Elmira called. 1t
was habit learned in the dreadful
days Of twenty years ago, not to open
q door without at least some knowl-
edge of who stood without. A lighted
doorway sets or target almost as
we'll as field of white sets of black
bull's-eye.
Dave knew the truth was the proper
course. "Dave Turner" he replied.
A long second Of heavy, strange ST.
fence ensued. Then the woman spoke
again. There was q new note in her
voice, curious hoarseness, but at the
same time q sense Of exultation and
excitement. But Dave didn't notice
it. He might. however, have been in
terested In the singular look Of Won
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
had wandered steep and unknown
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
i from her; she slipped across the un-
carpeted floor with the agility and 81
lence Of a tiger. She always had given

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
 AT VAN MARTER CHAPEL

c. R. Van Marter is making inn provements on his chapel on Beale street. The old wooden walls are be- ing supplanted with concrete making the building fireproof and more dur able. The floor of the present build ing is 20 X 60 feet, whereas the new building will have a floor of 25 75 feet.
 MT. Van Marter states that though he does not feel that he could other wise afford to make these changes at this time, he feels that he must do so on account of the additional protection from fire. If a fire was started in that block at this time, he says, the whole block would go, as all of the buildings are of frame con- struction.
