guard, but the guard represented
barrier that had to be beaten
down.
So Joe escaped to the hills, car
rying two rifles, a revolver and q
supply of ammunition. He went first
to his cabin, packed clothing and
supplies, then fled to cave he
knew farther up the range. He
would hide here, he decided, until
they stopped looking for him. Then
he would return home and be happy
for the rest of his life and never
harm any one.
The second day after he had es-
tablished himself in the cave he
heard the cry of bloodhounds. He
saw the dogs coming up the noun
tain and men with guns toiling be-
hind. Joe had no choice but to
heed the instincts of self-preserva-
ton. He shot first the dogs, then two
of the men. Then he gathered his
things and went over the mountain
and down into the valley.
He knew now that these men
would never give up hunting him.
He would have to leave his beloved
mountains and seek a refuge else
where. He crossed the valley and
came to the bank of river. AS
he stepped from the bushes a rifle
barked, and bullet tipped by his
head.
He ducked out Of sight and wait
ed. A man appeared on the oppo-
site bank. Joe shot the man in the
leg. Then he started south along
the river bank. Tonight, he thought,
he would be out of this land where
he wasn't wanted, would find a new
home.
If Joe had known of the stories
about the mad woodsman that were
flashing over telegraph wires
through the countryside he would
have been amazed. He had merely
obeyed his instincts. He was leav-
ing land that he loved because he
wasn't wanted. He would never
bother any one again.
That night sheriff's posse of so
men brought the mad woodsman to
bay against high, unscalable rock
cliff. He fought them off until
Evening star., 1939-05-05

him every day to receive the delicate
morsels he always carried in the
pockets of his jacket.
In the very act of turning. Joe's
body became rigid. The smile van
ished from his lips. Below, a rifle
shot had rung out. The fawn lay
dead on the bank of the pool. The
doe had bounded several PAGES
away, where she stopped, turned
and stood looking back at her off,
spring.
AS Joe watched, a man stepped
from the bushes, raised the gun
that he carried, took quick aim and
pulled the trigger. The doe leaped
into the air as though released by a
spring, then fell kicking into the
water.
A blind. mad rage clouded Joe's
brain. Without a moments hesita-
ton he lifted his own rife, drew a
bead on the man below and fired.
The man screamed and fell forward
on his face. .
Joe didn't know that the man he
had shot was the son of Senator.
Even if he had heard the Senator's
name it would have meant nothing.
Joe was a man of the forest, and he
had never bothered to learn about
things that went on in the land
beyond his wooded world. The 'peo-
pie who moved about in that land
were to him strange, unnatural and
uncivilized.
Two days after the shooting
posse of men arrived at Joe's cabin
and took him away. They treated
him roughly, and when he asked
why they were taking him away
they only sneered and clubbed him
into silence
The events that followed bewil-
dered Joe. The reporters, the in
dictment, the trial, the sentence
were a procession of strange, unreal
scenes in his mind. Presently he
was taken to great stone building
and thrust into a small room. Bars
were at the windows. Beyond the
bars he could see dimly the noun
tains where he had lived, his home.
He sat still, staring at them, con-
scious of curious, empty loneli-
ness tugging at his heart. They had
told him that here, behind these
bars, he would have to remain for
the rest of his natural days.
Joe thought about it, duly. It
was hard to grasp. Never to breathe
the sweet mountain air again, never
to drink from a crystal clear noun
tain stream. Never to feel the
warmth of sun on his back. Never
to see and talk with his wild friends
Of the wilderness. He thought about
the man he had killed. It had
made no difference that the man
had shot the doe and its young out
