who held 1t did not even fire. He was
standing just below the outstretched

No human flesh could stand against
that charge. The vast paw fell with
resistless force; and no need arose for
second blow. The trapper's body
was stuck down as II felled by a
meteor, and the power Of the impact
forced it deep into the carpet of pine
needles. The savage creature turned,
the white fangs caught the light In the

CHAPTER XIV


Simon Turner had given Dave very
definite instructions concerning his
embassy to Hudson "The first thing
this Bruce will do" Simon had said,
els to hunt up Hudson-the one living
man that witnessed that agreement
between Ross and old Folger. One
reason Is that he'll want to verify
Linda's story. The next is to per-
suade the old man to go down to the
courts with him as his witness. And
what you have to do is line him up
for our side first"
"You think" Dawes eyes wan
dered about the room, "you think
that's the best way?"
II wouldn't be tellln' you to do 1t
II didn't think So" Simon laughed
q sudden, grim syllable. Dave. you're
q bloodthirsty devil. / see what. you're
thinking of-of safer way to keep
him from telling. But you know the
word I sent out. Go easyr That's
the wisest course to follow at present.
The valley people pay more attention
to such things than they used to; the
fewer the killings, the wiser we will
be. II he'll keep quiet for the hun
dred let him have 1t in peace"
Dave hadn't forgotten. But his fea-
lures were sharper and more ratlike
than ever when he came In sight OF
Hudson's camp, Just after the fall OF
darkness Of the second day out. The
trapper was cooking his simple meal
Q blue grouse frying in his skillet,
coffee boiling, and fapjack batter
ready for the moment the grouse was
done. Dawes thoughts returned to
the hundred dollars In his pocket-a
good sum in the hills. A brass rife
cartridge, such as he could IRE In
the thirty-thirty that he carried In the
hollow Of his arm, cost only about six
cents. The net gain would be-the
figures few quickly through his mind
ninety-nine dollars and ninety-four
cents: quite good piece Of business
for Dave. But the trouble was that
Simon might find out. The word had
gone out, for the present at least, to
''Eo easy" Sach little games as oc-
CURED to Dave now-as he watched
the trapper in the firelight with one
hundred dollars Of the clans money
IN his own po<ket-had been prohibit
cd until further notice.
The thing looked SO simple that
Dave squirmed all over with annoy
ance. It hurt him to think that the
Aundred dollars that he carried was
60 be passed over, without wink OF
an eye, to this bearded trapper; and
the only return for II was to be q
promise that Hudson would not tes-
tify In Bruce's behalf. And hundred
dollars was real money! Just a little
matter Of single glapcs down hil
ride barrel at the figure IN the silhou-
cite Of the nre glow---and half-ounce
" pressure On the1hair trigger. Hall
Testing with himself. he dropped on
one knee ana rsised the weapon. The
trapper did not guess his presence
The blood leaped N Dawes veins.
But he caught himself with q
wrench. He realized that Simon had
spoken true when he said that the Ole
days were gone that the arm Of the
law reached farther than formerly
and II might even stretch to this faI
place. He remembered simon's IN
structions. ~The quieter We can a

The blood lust was upon him; there
would have been no mercy to the dy.
ing creature in the pine needles. Yet
1t transpired that Hudson's flesh was
not to know those rending fangs a
second time.
On the hillside above, stranger to
this land had dropped to his knee In
the shrubbery, his rifle lifted to the
level of his eyes. 1t was Bruce, who
hfd come In time to see the charge
through a rift In the trees.
The bear was on Hudson, and the
man had gone down, before Bruce
even interpreted him. Then It was
just gray patch, a full three hundred
yards away. His instinct was to throw
the gun to his shoulder and fire with.

an iron will. But he did move quickly,

lower position the target would be
more clearly revealed. The finger
pressed back against the trigger.
The distance was far: Bruce was
not a practiced rifle shot. and It Dor

He whirled about, growing furious

Dave helped himself to the food o.

the high fire that followed the meal
he got down to the real business Of
the visit.

Dave speculated. 1t was wholly
plain that the old man had not YET
heard of Bruce's return. There was
no need to mention him. "We're glad
you are our friend" Dave went on
"But we don't expect no one to stay

"A hundred 1t is," Dave told hin
