Man.
at once Bruce knew that the course
lay up the creek, rather than down.
A divide means simply the high places
between one watershed and another,
and of course Trails End lay some
where beyond the source of the stream.
The creek itself was apparently
sub-tributary of the Rogue, the great
river to the south.
Bruce was i'm a mood to be delighted,
these early morning hours. He was on
the way to Linda; dream was about
to come true. The whole adventure
was of the most thrilling and Joy
Gus anticipations. He did not feel
the load of his heavy suitcase. 1t
was nothing to his magnificent young
strength.
The sun rose higher and be began
to feel its power. The sweat came
out on his bronze face, but he never
felt better in his life. There was but
one great need, and that was break
fast.
A man Of his, physique feels hunger
quickly. The sensation increased in
intensity, and the suitcase grew cor
respondingly heavy. And all at once
he stopped Short in the road. The
impulse along his nerves to his leg
muscles was checked, like an cleo
trio current at the closing of a switch,
and an instinct Of unknown origin
struggled for expression within him.
In an instant he had it. He didn't
know whence it came 1t was moth
ing he had read or that any one had
told him. 1t seemed to be rather the
result of some experience in his own
immediate life, an occurrence of so
long, ago that he had forgotten it. He
suddenly knew where he could find
his breakfast. He set his suitcase
down, and with the confidence of a
man who hears the dinner call in his
own home, he struck off into the
thickets beside the creek bed. In
stinct-and really, after all, instinct
is nothing but memory-led his steps
true
He glanced here and there, not even
wondering at the singular fact that
he did not know exactly what'manner
of food he was seeking In a mo-
ment he came TO growth of thorn
covered bushes, a thicket that only
the she-bear knew how to penetrate.
But it was enough for Bruce just
to stand at it's edges. The bushes
were bent down with a load of de-
liciOus berries.
He wasn't in the least surprised. He
had known that he would find them.
woods were rich with them; one only
had to slip quickly through the back
door-while. the mothers eye was else
where-to find enough of them not
only to pack the stomach full but to
stain and discOlor most of the face.
But it seemed to him that he reached
them easier than he expected. Either
the bushes were not so tall as he re-
membered them, or-since his first
knowledge of them-his own stature
had increased.
When he had eaten the last berry
he could possibly hold, he went to
the creek to drink. He lay down be-
side a still pool, and the water was
cold to his lips. Then he rose at the
sound of an approaching motor car
behind him.
The driver-eyidently cattleman-
stopped his car and looked at Bruce
| with some curiosity. he marked the

the end of the trail he found it-a

CHAPTER w

The train came to q sliding halt
at Deer Creek, paused an infinitesimal
fraction of second, and roared on In
its ceaseless journey. That infinitesi-
NAL fraction was long enough for
Bruce, poised on the bottom step Of a
sleeping car, to swing down on to the
gravel right-Of-way. His bag, hurled
by sleepy porter, followed him.
Duncan's next impression was one
of infinite solitude. He hadn't read
any guidebooks about Deer Creek, and
But here was one little wooden struc-
ture with only three sides,-the open
ing facing the track. 1t was evidently
the waiting room used by the noun
tain men as they waited for their
local trains.
There were no porters to carry his
bag. There were no shouting officials.
His only companions were the stars
and the moon and, farther up the
slope, certain tall trees that tapered
TO incredible points almost in the re-
giOn where the stars began.
The whole scene, for causes deeper
than any words may ever seek and re
veal, moved him past any experience
in his life. 1t was wholly new.
He turned about until the wind was
in his face Il was full of fragrances,-
strange, indescribable smells that
seemed to call up a forgotten world.
They carried a message TO him, but as
yet he hadn't made out its meaning.
lie only knew 1t was something mys-
FERROUS and profound: great truths
that flickered, like dim lights, in his
consciousness, but whose outline he
could not quite discern.
Perhaps there We're sounds, but they
only seemed part of the silence The
Gaintest rustic in the world reached
him from the forests above of many
little winds playing a running game
between the trunks, and the stir of
the Little People, moving in their mid
might occupations. Each of these
sounds had its message for Bruce.
They all seemed to be trying to tell
him something, to make clear some
great truth that was dawning in his
consciousness. .
He was not in the least afraid. He
felt at peace as never before. He
picked up his bag, and with stealing
steps approached the long slope be-
hind. The moon showed him a fallen
log, and he found comfortable seat
on the ground beside it, his back
against its bark. Then he waited for
the dawn TO come out.
The night hours passed. The sense
of peace seemed to deepen on the man.
He sat relaxed, his brown face grave,
his eyes lifted. The stars began to
dim and draw back Farther into the
recesses of the sky. The round out
line of the moon seemed less pro-
nounced. And a faint ribbon of light
now had began to grow In the east.
1t wideneo. The light grew, The
night wind played one more little
game between the tree trunks and
slipped away to the Home of Winds
that lies somewhere above the noun
tains. The little night sounds were
slowly stilled
Bruce closed his eyes, not knowing
why. His blood was ieaping in his
veins. An unfamiliar excitement, al
most an exultation, had come upon
him. He lowered his head nearly to
his hands that rested In slap, then
waited full Ave minutes more.

The dawn revealed a narrow road
along the bank of Deer creek-a
brown little wanderer which, winding
here and there, did not seem to know
exactly where 1t wished to go. Bruce
didn't know which direction to take,
whether up or down the creek.

long lost, was turning In the doorway
of understanding.
He walked nearer and tapped with
his knuckles on the door.
If the forests have one all-pervad-
ing quality it is silence. What sound
there is carries far and seems rather
out of place. Bruce could picture the
whole of the little drama that followed
his knock by just the faint sounds
inaudible in less silent land-that
reached him from behind the door. At
