and overpowering wrath—a fury that
meant death to the first living crca
tore that he met
But In a single second he realized
that thia wild chase was fairly good
tactics, after all. The chances for a
meal were still rather good. The
fawn and the wolf were In the open
now, and It was wholly evident that
the gray hunter would overtake the
quarry In another moment. It was
true that the Killer would miss the
pleasure of slaying his own game—
the ecstatic blow to the shoulder and
the bite to the throat that followed It.
In this case, the wolf would do that
part of the work for him. It was Just
a simple matter of driving the crea
ture away from his dead.
But at that Instant fate took a hand
In the merry little chase. To the
fawn, It was nothing but a sharp clnng
of metal behind him und an answering
•shriek of pain— sounds that In Its
terror It heard but dimly. But It was
an unlooked-for and tragic reality to
the wolf. Ills leap was suddenly ar
rested In mld-olr, and he was hurled
to the ground with stunning force.
Cruel metal teeth had seized his leg,
and a strong chain held him when he
tried to escape. He fought It with
desperate savagery. The fawn leaped
on to safety.
But there was no need of the grizzly
continuing Its pursuit. Everything had
turned out quite well for him, after
all. A wolf la ever so much more fill
ing than any kind of seasonal fawn;
and the old gray pack leader was Im
prisoned and helpless In one of Uud
son's traps.

In the first gray of morning, Dave
Turner started back toward his home.
”111 go with you to the forks In the
trail." Hudson told him. "I want to
take a look at some of my traps, any
how.”
At the same hour—as soon as It was
light enough to see— Bruce was finish
lng his breakfast In preparation for
the last lap of his Journey. He had
passed the night by a spring on a long
ridge almost In eye range of Hudson's
camp. Now he was preparing to dip
down Into the Killer's glen.
Turner and Hudson followed up the
little creek.
The first of Hudson's sets proved
empty. The second was about a turn
In the creek, and a wall of brush made
It Impossible for him to tell at a die
tance whether or not he had made a
catch. But when still a quarter of a
mile distant. Hudson heard a sound
that he thought he recognized. It war
a high, sharp, agonized bark that
dimmed Into a low whine. “I believe
I've got a coyote or a wolf up there,'
he said. They hastened their steps.
The whole picture loomed suddenly
before their eyes. There was no woll
tn the trap. The steel hid sprung
certainly, but only a hideous fragmem
of a foot remained between the Jaws
The bone had been broken sharply
off. ns a man might break a match In
his fingers. There was no living wolf
Life had gone out of the gray body
many minutes before. The two men
auw all these things as a backgnAind
only—dim details about the central
figure. But the thing that froze them
lu their tracks with terror was the
great, gray form of the Killer, not
twenty feet distent, beside the man
gled body of the wolf.
The events that followed thereafter
came In such quick succession as to
seem simultaneous. For one fraction
of an Instant all three figures stood
motionless, the two men staring, the
gristly half-leening over his prey, his
head turned, his little red eyes full of
hatred. He uttered one hoerse, sav
age note, a sound In which all his
hatred and Ills fury «nJ his savage
power were made manifest, whirled
with Incredible speed, end charged.
Hudson did not even have time to
turn. There was no defense; his gun
was strapped on his back, and even
If It had been In bis hands, its bullet
would not have mattered the sting of
a bee tn honey-mbblng. The only
possible chance of breaking that dead
ly charge lay In the thirty-thirty deer
rifle In Dave's arms; but the craven
who held It did not even lira. He

a second blow. The trapper's body

the white fangs caught the light In the
open mouth. The head lunged toward
the man's shoulder.
No man may say what agony Hud
son would havq endured In the last
few seconds of his life If the Killer
had been given time and opportunity.
His usual way was to linger long,
sburp fangs closing again and again
until all living likeness wus destroyed.
The blood lust -wus upon him; there
would have been no mercy to the dy
ing creature In the pine needles. Yet
It transpired that Hudson's flesh was
not to know • those rending fangs a
second time.
On the hillside above, a stranger to
this land had dropped to his knee In
the shrubbery, his rifle lifted to the
level of his eyes. It was Bruce, who
had 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 a gray patch, a full three hundred
yards away. Hts Instinct was to throw
the gun to his shoulder and fire with
out aiming; yet he conquered It with
an Iron will. But he did move quickly.
He dropped to his knee the very sec
ond that the gun leaped to bis shoul
der. He seemed to know that from a
lower position the turget would be
more clearly revealed.
The finger
pressed buck against the trigger.
The distance was fa r; Bruce was
not a practiced rifle shot, und it bor
dered on the miraculous that bis lead
went anywhere neur the bear's body.
And It was true that the bullet did
not reuch a vital place. It stung like
a wnsp at the Killer's flank, however,
cutting a shallow flesh wound. But It
wus enough to tnke his dreadful atten
tion from th'e mortally wounded trap
per in the pine needles.
He whirled about, growling furious
ly and biting at the wound. Then he
stood still, turning Ills gaze first to the
pale fuce of Duve Turner thirty feet
above him In the pine. The eyes glowed
in fury and hatred. He had found
men out at last; they died even more
easily than the fawn. He started to
turn hack to the fallen, and the rifle
spoke ugain.
I t was a complete miss, this time;
yet the bear leaped In fear when the
bullet thwackod Into the dust beside
him. llq did not wait for a third. His
caution suddenly returning to him.
and perhaps his anger somewhat sati
ated by the blow he lied dealt Hudson,
he crashed Into the security of the
thicket.
Bruce waited a single Instant, hop
ing for another glimpse of the crea
ture; then ran down to aid Hudson.
But In driving the bear from the trap
per's helpless body he had already
given all the aid that he could. Un
derstanding came quickly.
He had
arrived only In time for the Depar
ture— Just n glimpse of a light as It
faded. The blow had been more than
any human being could aurvlve; even
now Hudson was entering upon that
strange calm which often, so merci
fully. Immediately precedes death.’
He opened his eyes and looked with
some wonder Into Bruce’s face. The

Turner,T’ he said wonderinglyl
Dim though the voice was, there
was considerable emyihasla In the tone.
Hudson seemed quite sure of this
point, whether or not he knew any
thing concerning the dark gates he
was about to enter. He wouldn't have
spoken greatly different If he had
been sitting In perfect health before
his own comp fire and tjie shadow was
now already so deep his eyes could
scarcely penetrate it.
"No," Bruce answered. "Dave Tur
ner Is up a tree. He didn't even wait
to shoot."
“Of course he wouldn't." Hudson
spoke with assurance.
The words
dimmed at the end. und he half-closed
hts eyes as If he were too sleepy to
stay awake longer. Then Bruce saw
a strange thing. He saw, unmistak
able as the sun in the sky, the signs
of a curious struggle In the man's
face.
The trapper—a moment before sink
ing Into the calm of death—was fight
ing desperately for a few moments of
respite. There could be no other ex
planation. And he won It ut last.—
an Interlude of half a dozen breathi.
"Who are you?" he whispered.
Bruce bowed hts head until Ids ear
was close to the lips. "Bruce Folger."
he answered,—for the first time In hla
knowledge speuklng his full name.
"Son of Matthew Folger who lived at
Trail's End long ugo."
The man still straggled. " I knew
It." be said. " I saw It— In your face. I
see— everything now. Listen—can you
hear me?"
"Yes.”
"I Just did a wrong— there's a
hundred dollars in my pocket that 1
Just got for doing it. I made a prom
ise— to lie to you. Take the money—
It ought to be yours, anyway—and
hers; and use It toward fighting the
wrong. It will go a little way."
"Yes." Bruce looked him full tn the
eyes. “No matter about the money
What did you promise Turner?"
“That I ’d He to y,‘,u. Grip iny arms
with your hands— till It hurts. I've
only got one hreath more. Your fa
ther held those lands only In trust—the
Turners' deed Is forged.
And the
secret agreement that I witnessed Is
hidden— "
The breath seemed to go out of the
man. Bruce shook him by the shoul
ders. Dave, still In the tree, strnlnad
to hear the rest. "Yes— where?"
“It's 'hidden—Just—out—”
The
words were no longer audible to Dave,
and what followed Bruce also strained
to hear In vain. The lips ceased mov

▲ traveler had gone.
Bruce got up, a strange, oold light
In his eyes. H e glanced op. Dave
I'urner was climbing slowly down the
tree.
Bruce made six strides and
seised his rifle.
The affect on Dave was ludicrous
He clung fast to the tree limbs, as U
he thought a bullet—like a grizzly's
claws—could not reach him there.
Bruce laid the gun behind him, then
stood waiting with hts own weapon
resting In his arms.
"Come down. Dave," he commanded.
"The bear Is gone."
Dave crept down the trunk and
halted at Its base. He etudled the
cold face before hint. "Better not try
nothing,” he advised hoareely.
"Why not?" Bruce asked. "Do you
think I'm afraid of a coward?” The
man started at the worda; hts bead
bobbed backward as I f Bruce bed
struck him beneath the Jaw with hit
Gat.
"People don’t call the Turners cow
ards and walk off with It," the man
told him.
"Oh, the lowest coward!"
Bruce
said between set teeth. “The yellow
est, mongrel coward I Your own con
federate—and you bad to drop your
gun and run up a tree. You might
have stopped the bear's charge"
Dave’s face twisted tn a scowl
“You’re brave enough now. W alt to
see what happens later. Olve ma my
gun. I'm going to go."
"You can go. but yon don't get your
gun. I'll fill you full of lead I f you
try to touch I t "
Dave looked up with some care. He
wanted to know for certain If this
tenderfoot meant what be said. The
man was blind tn some things, his
vision was twisted and dark, hut he
made no mistake about the look on
the cold, set face before him. B ru n /t
finger wus curled about the trigger,
and It looked to Dave as If It Itched
to exert further pressure.
“I don't see why I spare yon. any
way," Bruce went on. His tone was
self-reproachfnl. "God knows I hadn't
ought to— remembering who and what
you are. I f you'd only give me one
little bit of provocation—"
Dave saw lurid lights growing In
the man's eyes; and all at once a con
clusion came to him. He decided he u
make iu> further effort to regain tne
gun. His life was rather prertoua to
him, strangely, and It was wholly
plain that a dread and terrible passion
was slowly creeping over his enemy.
