CHAPTER XVI

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
shadow on the distant meadow. He
tried to get a better focus. II 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 1t 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 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
would. wait for him, with a loaded
rife, in a safe ambush.
But it wasn't the Killer, after all. IL
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 vas little more
chan a lhalf-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 a mile distant. For the first
time. Dave began to move cautiously.
1t would complieate matters If the
two women had already gone to bed.
The hour was early-nOt yet nine
but the fall of darkness is often the
~goingt01bed time OF the mountain peO-
pie. II is warmsr there and safer;
and the expense of candles is les
sened. 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 there?" EImira called. 1t
was a habit learned In the dreadful
days of twenty years ago, not 10 open
a door without at least some knowl
edge of who stood without. A lighted
