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 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 a little tremor of excitement at
the thought that if it were not Bruce,
ii 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 a safe ambush.
But it wasn't the Killer, after all. 1t
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 a mistake. Bruce
was returning; he was little more
than half-hour's walk from Linda's
home.
Turner swung on his horse, then
lashed 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.
IL would complicate matters If the

asked. She remembered, with singular
steadfastness the pistol she had con-
cealed in her own room.
"Pll show you If you want to get
him in you'd better bring the old hag
with you. It'll take two Of you to car
ry him.
I'm come,' the old woman said from
across the shadowed room. She spoke
with a curious breathlessness. "Pll go
at once"
The door closed behind the three of
them, and they went out into the moon
lit forest. Dave walked first. 1t was
wholly characteristic of him that he
should find a degenerate rapture in
showing these two women the terrible
handiWOrk of the Turner'S. He re-
joiced in just this sort of cruelty Lin
da had no suspicion that this eXcur-
sion was only preteXt to get the two
women away from the house. and that
his eagernesS arose from deeper
causes. 1t was true that Dave eXulted
in the work, and strangely the fact
that it was part of the plot against
Bruce had been almost forgotten in
the face of a greater emotion He was
alone in the darkness with Linda
except of course for a helpless old
woman-and the command of Simon in
regard to his attitude toward her
seemed suddenly dim and far away He
led them over hill, into the deeper
forest.
So intent was he that he quite failed
to observe a singular little signal be-
tween old Elmira and Linda. The wo-
man half turned about, giving the girl
an instant's glimpse of something that
she transferred from her breast to her
sleeve. 1t was slender and of steel,
and it caught the moonlight on it's
shining surface.
The girls eyes glittered when she
beheld it. She nodded, scarcely per.
ceptibly, and the strange file plunged
deeper into the shadows.
Fifteen minutes later Dave drew up
to halt in little patch of moonlight,
surrounded by wall of low trees and
brush
There's more than one way to make
a date for a walk with a pretty girl" j"
he said.
The girl stared coldly into his eyes.
What do you mean?" she asked
The man laughed harshly. 81 mean
that Bruce amt got back yet-he's still
on the other side of Little river, for
all know"
''Then why did you bring US here?''
"Just to be sociable," Dave returned
"Ill tell you, Linda. / wanted to talk
to you. I amt been in favor of a lot
of things Simon's been doing-to you
and your people thought maybe you
and l would like to be-friends."
No one could mistake the emotion
behind the strained tone, the peculiar
languor in the furtive eyes. The girl
drew back, shuddering. "Im going
back" she told him.
wait I'll take you back soon. Lets
have kiss and make friends. The old
lady won't look"
He laughed again, hoarse sound
that rang far through the silences. He
moved toward her, hands reaching. She
backed away. Then she half-tripped
over an outstretched root.
The next instant she was in his
arms, struggling against their steel

She didn't waste words in pleading. A
sob caught at her throat, and she
fought with all her strength against
the drawn, nearing face. She had for
gotten Elmira in this dreadful mo-
ment of terror and danger the old wO
mans broken strength seemed too little
to be of aid. And Dave thought her as
helpless to oppose him as the tall
pines that watched from above them.
His wild laughter obscured the single
sound that she made, strange cry
that seemed lacking in all human quail
ity. Rather 1t was such sound as u
puma utters as 1t leaps upon it's prey.
1t was the articulation of whole life
of hatred that had come to crisis at
last-of deadly and terrible triumph
after a whole decade of waiting. If
Dave had discerned that cry in time he
would have hurled Linda from his arms
to leap into position Of defense. The
desire for women in men goes down to
the roots Of the world, but self-preser-
vation is a deeper instinct still.
But he didn't hear it in time. Ell
mira had not struck with her knife.
The distance was too far for that. But
she swung her cane with all her force.
The blow caught the man at the tenn
Pile, his arms fell away from the girls
body, he staggered grotesquely in the
carpet of pin needles Then he fell
face downward.

crepit age The girl struggled With
herself, wrenched back her self-con
troll, and leaped to obey her aunt. They
snatched the mans belt from about his
waist, and the women locked 1t swiftly
about his ankles. With strong, hard
hands they drew his wrists back Of
him and tied them tight with the long
bandanna handkerchief he wore about
lence, with incredible rapidity and
deftneSS.
The man was waking now, stirring
in his unconSciousneSS, and swiftly the
old woman cut the buckskin thongs
from his tall logging boots. These also
she twisted about the wrists, knotting
them again and again. and pulling them
so tight they were almost buried in
the lean flesh. Then they turned him
face upward to the moon
The two women stood an instant,
breathing hard. "What now?" Linda
asked. And a shiver of awe went over
her at the sight of the woman'S face.
"Nothing more, Linda" she an
swered, in a distant voice. Leave
Dave Turner to me-"
1t was strange picture. Woman
hOod-the softneSS and tenderness
which men have learned to associate
with the name-seemed fallen away
from Linda and Elmira. They were
only avengers-like the she-bear that
fights for her cubs or the she-wOlf that
guards the lair. There was no more
mercy in them than in the females of
the lower species.
Dave awakened. They saw him stir.
They watched him try to draw his
arms from behind him. 1t was just a
faint, misunderstanding pull at first
Then he wrenched and tugged with all
his strength, Topping strangely in the
dirt. The effort increased until it was
some way suggestive of an animal in
the death struggle-a fur bearer dying
in the trap.
Terror was upon him. 1t was in his
wild eyes and his mOonlit face it was
in the desperation and frenzy of his
struggles. And the two women saw
It and smiled into each others eyes.
Slowly his efforts ceased. He lay
still in the pine needles. He turned
his head, first toward Linda, then to
the inscrutable, dark face of the old
woman AS understanding came to
him, the cold drops emerged upon his
swarthy skin.
"Good G-d!" he asked. "What are

Elmira told him. "We have many
things to say to each other. We have
many things to do. About my Abner
there are many things you'll want to

The last vestige of the mans spirit
broke beneath the words. Abner had
been old Elmira's soma youth who
had laughed often, and the one hope
of the old woman's declining years

Among the notable professional men of this country who achieved great success along strictly legiti- mate lines was Dr. k. V. Pierce. De voting his attention to the speciality of women's diseases, he became a recognized authority in that line.
 Over fifty years ago this noted physician gave to the world Pre- scription which has never been equaled for the weaknesses of women. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases. He learned it all through treating thousands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton. This medicine is made of veg etable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weakening pains, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are getting safe woman's tonic 50 good that druggists everywhere sell it in both tablet and fluid form.

 There were seven tables placed throughout the living rooms of the Davis home and after an interesting game, waged for several hours, the trophies for the evening were pre- sented to Mrs. Randolph Reynolds and Mrs. T. D. Donoho. A tempting luncheon was served at midnight.
