"Various methods of coioring arc en-

being used, and while the resultant

 He doesn't seem to be close friend of this old man; he just seems to have met up with him at the river. and the old man steered him up here. He asked me where the old mans claim was and said he wanted to go over and see him. He was taking Hiram's wolf and his gun mp to himg l told him I hadn't heard of the claim, that if must be farther inside, and think put it over. There's one thing we can do-and that quick" ,,

 Soon after the break of dawn Ben put his pick and shovel on his shoul- der and leisurely walked up the creek past Rays cabin.
 The vivid morning light only re- vealed the crime in more dreadful de- tail
 Slowly, laboriously. with little out ward sign of the emotion that rent his heart, he dug shallow grave.
 He threw the last clod and stood looking down at the upturned earth. "Sleeb good. old Ez," he murmured in simple mass for the dead. 'I'll do what you said"
 Ben worked his way down through the thickets toward Jeffrey Neilson's cabin. The river flowed quietly here, a long, still stretch that afforded safe boating.
 He suddenly drew up short at the sight of light, staunch canoe on the open water. It was a curious fact that he noticed the craft itself before ever he glanced at it's occupant He realized that this boat afforded him means of traversing this great water body, certainly should be a factor in the forthcoming conflict. The boat had evidently been the property of Hiram Melville. s
 Then he noticed, with a strange, in applicable leap of his heart, that it's lone occupant was Beatrice Nelson.

 That's the reason" the girl went on. If something should happen and you'd net carried around the bend "a little farther than you meant to go--youd understand. And we wouldn't see any more of MT. Darby around these parts"

Go on With the Story

He's iny buddy, old boy, and l want you to find him for me-" Ben went on, more patiently. He searched his pockets, drawing out at last the copy of the letter Ezram had given him that morning, and, because the old man had carried it for many days. 1t could still convey a message to the keen nose of the wolf He put it to the animals nostrils, then pointed away into the darkness.
 Ferris followed the motion with his eyes; and presently his long. body stiffened. Ben watched him, fas- cinated Then the wolf sniffed at the paper again and trotted away into the night.
 In one leap Ben was on his feet fol- lowing him. The wolf turned once. saw that his master was at his heels, and sped on. They turned up slight draw, toward the hillside.
 Ferris halted at the edge of dis tapt thicket. The cold sweat sprang out on Ben's forehead, and he broke into headlong run.
 .'Ezram" he called, a curious throbbing quality in his voice. Are you there, Ez? It's me-Ben."
 Together, the man and the wolf. they crept on into the thicket. They halted at last before curious shadow in the silvered covert. Ben knew at once he had found his ancient com- rade.
 He and Ezram had their last laugh together. He lay very still, the moon- light ensiIvering his droll, kindly face
 sleeping so deeply that no human voice could ever waken him. An ugly rife wound yawned darkly at his temple.
 For a long time Ben sat beside the dead body of his old counselor and friend as child might sit among flowers.
 His mind began to. work clear again; he began to understand.
 Ezram had been shot,. murdered by the men who had jumped his claim.
 His mind naturally fell to Ezram's parting advice to him. I've only got one decent place to keep things safe. and that ain't so all-hred de- cent" the old man had told him. T always put 'em down my bootleg, be- tween, the sock and. the. leather. If ever get shuffled off, all of sud- den, want you to look there careful"
 StHl with the same deathly pallor. he crept over the dead leaves to Ez- ram's feet. His hands were perfect ly steady as he hnlooped the iaces. one after another and quietly pulled off the right boot. Tn the boot leg, just as Ezram had promised, Ben fO,,rl n voroy, of u1,ifo y,a nor

The Wolf Man CHAPTER VIII
The Claim Jumpers

As wolf might plan hunt in the forest, Ben planned his war against Nelson and his subordinates. He knew perfectly that he must not at tempt open warfare.
 It was not his aim to give his foes the least chance to fight back.
 The best way of all, of course, was to strike indirectly at them, perhaps through some one they loved. Soon, perhaps, he would see the way.
 And when Beatrice was asleep. Nelson stole down the moonlit moose train and joined his men.

 just got one thing to ask. If them devils get me-get them. My life ain't worth much but I w1nt you to make them pay for the little it is worth. Never stop till you've done it.
 "Fenris, Ferris" he breathed. ""We've got to make them pay. And we must not stop till we're done"
 It was more than command. It had the quality of VOW. And now, as they knelt,. eyes looking into eyes, it was like pagan rite in the an- cient world.
