CHAPTER VI
And as once before, when the even-
ing's smoke and chat ended, the camp-
Ore low, and Martin had stretched
himself on the bough bed beside the
doctor, his thoughts traveled to Green-
vale, and he wundered how Angle
looked and what she would say, and
how she would treat him if be were to
go back there again.
Beyond that lurked a little sense of
guilt at the thought of all the ye4rs
that had tied since he parted from her
in such a tender fashion, and how
heartless it was, after all! Then he
wondered why she had never married.
She was a comely girl, and once he
thought lit-T more than that—yes, even
the sweetest and moat beautiful oiaid
in Greenvale.
Why was i; some other village swain
had not caught her fancy, after his de-
sertion?
He knew she was an orphan, whose
mother bad died when she was quite
young, and worse .than that, her father
had disappeared, no one knew why,
nor whither, and that Angie had been
left without an heritage, to be brought
up by Aunt Comfort It was a peculiar
case; and now, as it all came back to
him, and how, in her sweet girlish
way. she had laid her heart at his
feet, so to speak, it setnied to him that
one so fond, and so wholly dependent.,
was the last whom a manly young fel-
low should turn from and desert.
It was the bud of a boyish love
bursting Into flower again, for before
Martin led asleep he had firmly re-
solved he would visit Greenvale at an
early date and see how Angie would
receive him.
But the next morning all these sweet
Impulses received a quietus, for while
Levi and Jean were getting breakfast.
Martin and the doctor took their rods
and started for the stream close by;
halfway there Martin halted suddenly,
looking down.
And well he might, for at his feet
and freshly made in the hard, damp
sand, were those same claw-print
tracks he had twice found on the
Moosehorn, 100 miles away!
as the woods grew shadowy and darker,
he kept close to the fire Not for un-
told wealth would he have walked into
that sombre, silent forest one-half mile
alone—no. no even 50 rods.
Jean also was as seared as the doc-
tor. Like many of the half-breed guides
who lead sportsmen Into this wilder-
ness, he believed most wild animals to
be endowed with human cunning an;'
devilish malice as well; that they might
imitate human actions, and certainly
could hear and understand human con-
\ (rse. He was positive bears could
walk upright for miles and panthers
cross lakes on logs, using sticks for
paddles. He was certain that this wild
man who had followed them was a
Martin, as leader of the trip, nat-
urally carried his point, but whra the
canoes were loaded and they started
up this stream, it was noticeable that
the doctor and Jean, in their craft,
kept close to Martin, and not onee dur-
ing all that day's journey did they drop
two rods astern .
For the first lew miles the stream
wound, black and without current, be-
neath a canopy <>r firs, the low ban'.s
completely hid by undergrowth. Now
and then a mink or musl.rat was so n
crossing just alidad, and once on otter,
surprised on a half-submerged lo *.
dived in with a splash that sounded
unduly loud.' Then a wide stretch of
Impassable swamp was entned, with
combination of man and beast, a huge. . here and there < dead spruce rlslns
hairy ape maybe, or a mixture of boar. I tall and spectral beyond this the val-
panther. and man. Moreover, he be-
lieved in ghosts.
The piratical paddle handle found b>
Martin, the moose skull perched on
the ledge, the night cries of loons on
the lakes nr wildcats in swamps, were
all evidence of ghost existence ami
meant for death warnings, and when
he heard them, he invariably crossed
himself.
Under other circumstances this su-
perstltion would have been ludicrous,
. \en to the doctor; now it added to tho
mystery.
Even Martin and Levi, both old ex-
perienced woodsmen, caught a little of
this uncanny, eerie contagion, and
when supper was o\xr, pipes lit, and
there was nothing to do but converse
in low tones and listen to the night
sounds, their rugged common sense
grew a little shaky. It became more so
when the moon rose, filling the forest
with rofts of spectral light and throw-
ing ghastly shadows over the lake
shore.
"You might as well turn In," said
Levi, when the hour had grown late,
"me'n Jean'll take turns keepin' the tiro
goin'," and this tacit admission of the

CHAPTER VII.
GHOST OR WILD MAN1
Martin looked long at those gro-
tesque footprints in speechless won-
der. For two weeks he had watched
for them in old log roads, along the
banks of streams. In the muddy spots
of carries, and upon the sandy shores
of lakes. In vain. He had found all
other kinds of tracks in plenty, hoof
prints of moose, deer, and caribou,
the oval ones of bear, and the rounder
but sharper clawed tracks of lynx and
wildcat—but none like these. And
now, on a bright moonlight night, the
nondescript creature had walked up
to within two rods of where he lay
sleeping!
The effect on Dr. Sol was almost
ludicrous. He gazed at them, grew
pale, and with a "We've got to get out
of here, and quick, too," started for
the tent.
"Here he comes; -run, doctor, run,"
shouted Martin, his sense of humor
rising above his astonishment, as he
followed the doctor, who had covered
the distance with leaps. Then each,
grasping a rifle, and followed by the
guides, returned to those tracks. And
now for the first time, so plainly out-
lined were they in the deep sand, It
was possible to better guess what man-
ner of creature made them,
"It's a gigantic ape." asserted Mar-
tin, bending over them; but I>evi,
kneeling, shook bis head.
"It's some one wearin' moccasins
with claws on 'era. 1 kin see whar
the seam comes," he said.
It was not reassuring, and both Mar-
tin and the doctor glanced furtively
into the forest near at hand, and then
up to the gravelled point where the
stream entered. Then following Levi
and avoiding the tracks, halting often
to listen and look at one more distinct
than the rest, they came te this point
and the end of the tracks. Here a
faint furrow showed where a canoe
had grounded and been lifted ont on the
beach.
"It's a white man." asserted Levi.
In a positive tone; "an Injun always
lands a canoe sideways."
"And whjfT' queried Martin, to
whom this was news.
•"Cause it don't strain 'em so much,
an' leaves no sign."
"This chap wasn't fussy about the
signs." Interjected the doctor, "and
if It's the beast I saw that night on
the Moosehorn. I've bad cnongh of his
society."
"The tracks a re the same beyond ques-
tion." said Martin, "and It looks like
a case of follow, but bow he has kept
along with us for ten days without
discovery Is enrious." And the thought
of such a savage man stealthily follow-
ing one up-stream, down-stream,
across lake and carry a good 100 miles
of wilderness, made Martin nervous.
"I'm not going to back out Just yet,"
He added. ** ♦ hey retraced their steps
to find their fire out and breakfast
ruined, nut that mattered not; In
fact nothing was thought of or spokwa
about all day except thoae hideous
tracks and the likelihood that their
maker might be lurking In the forest
about No attention was paid to the
lake, rippled nnd shining In the sun-
light, the birds, piping defiance to all
power* of darkness, or aught else of
beauty Hoth canoes made an entire
detour of the lake's shore at least
three times, while their occupants,
oblivious even of the trout leaping
out here and there, scanned the shad-
ows, paused oft to listen at every tri-
fling sound The entrances to two
long, unused log road* were examined,
the stream where they first entered
the lake followed back a mile, and the
■ m,. where the tracks began snd ended
explored s little way. but no sign or
sound of this wild man found Like
a thief at night he had mme ashore,
stolen up to their camp, returned, em
barked, and where he was hiding no
man could guess
When nightfall drew n.sr, the iloo-
tot berime nervous. "I shan't sleep
wink to-night." he said plaintively, as
Icy narrowed anil hanks grew high and
rock-walled. -Here, too, the stream
showed the first sign of current, and
the low murmur of an occasional,
though invisible rill, gave some re-
lief.
And here It must be stated that in
all the wide world there is no sound
so sweet as the music of a brooklet
heard In the sombre silence of a wil-
derness. A bobolink circling over a
meadow utters a note of wondrottB
sweetness, but not to compare with
the melodious tinkle of a faint, forest-
hidden rill.
To Martin and the doctor It gave
keen pleasure, for the unbroken silence
of forest solitudes, endured for hours,
becomes oppressive Up to this time,
also, no sipn of what they were In
quest of had been found -no queer
tracks on muddy banks, no broken
twigs or leaves floating down, no
sounds of ill omen, or aught else of
suspicious nature. And when noon
came, and they landed to crawl up on
a hlsh bank and cook dinner, it seemed
as If the doctor's theory of a wild-
goose chase was likely to prove cor-
rect. But now a clew came to them, |
though one that never would have lieen
noiired except by a woodsman of Le-
vi's Keenness. He had gone a little
higher up on the bank to break dry
I wigs from the trunk of a fir tree, when
suddenly he paused, elevated hts nose
and sniffed.
"I smell smoke," he said, "'n' birch-
bark smoke, too."
The next moment he started to climb
the tree and halted not until well up
toward the top.
"Thar's an oiienlnu. n' a little lake
ahead," he added, returning to earth.
The information was a trifle, but It
was something of value, and when the
hastily-cooked meal was eaten, they
pushed on, and now the sire&tn. which
had grown smaller, seemed likely to
lose Itself in another swamp. It was
now a mere network of narrow leads
without current, twisting among bogs
of dry sedge and half hidden beneath
alders. First one was tried, then an-
other, and even Levi was getting dis-
couraged, when an opening showed

as the little group looked up toward
the head of the lake, there, close to
shore and slowly moving toward them,
was a dark object.
Between them and this object grew
the bed of reeds, and as it advanced,
almost st a snail's pace, It enlarged into
the head and shoulders of a man, ap-
parently wading waist deep In the
water. Nearer and nearer It drew,
while the breathless four watched It-
row to the edge of the reeds, then en-
tirlng them it almost vanished, to

shape, and without doubt m man astride

CHAPTER VIIL
THE HERMITS HOME
Stifierstltion is a mushroom, grow-
ing host in shadow, and the four, who
si first believed they had come upon a
wild man, and later that he had fol-
lowed them for ten days, were now di-
vided, or rather graded, In conviction.
Jean was sure It waa a ghost. Levi di-
vided between spook and wild man. the
doctor positive It was the latter, and
Martin still in doubt To be followed
was disturbing, the bold night visit
to their i.4inp while they were asleep
was significant: and now a creature, be
it Indian, wild man, or hunter, who
journeyed by night and crossed lakes
when he should be asleep, was more
than merely curious of conduct. This
mystery had piqued Martin at first,
now It exasperated; and though uncer-
tain what to do or which way to turn
to solve It, he had no thought of being
driven out of he w ndn or eeen turn-
ing aside. He had planned to remain
here on this beautiful lake a few day*,
and now this mysterious night prowler
was there also, he resolved to stand
his ground and hunt him out If possi-
ble. The creature had apparently gone
up the tributary stresm— why not fol
low hlmT
But Dr Sol thought otherwise.
"I've had enough of him," was his
positive response when Martin pro-
post<d they aacend this stream on a
searching trip, "and some to apare I
dare not set font In the wis id* alone,
be drives me away from Ashing, and
I can't sleep nights. I don't see the
good of chasing a bloodthirsty savag<
who dmtratea bis feet with panther s
claws, and who may want our scalps.
I've a notion toe d try for one if he
raughi one of us alone."
Then Martin laughed.
"Well, we'll keep together." he sal
"and. for that matter, four men wlib
two rifle* need not fear even a wild
'roan."
"Would you shoot him If you got
the chan<«?" returned the doctor, feel
Ing be had the lieltar of the argument
Why. yes. in self Uulsnet, of course,
a narrow path lay a birch bark cauoo,
bottom up!
And well they might halt to see that
tangible evidence of human existence,
eo far from civilization and si) abso-
lutely hid In the wilderness.
Then the two men looked at each
other, while both canoes, as If sharing
their feelings, drew close together. The
doctor was first to speak.
"Can ft be he?" he whispered. Mar-
tin shook his head looking and listen-
ing. The question now was not so
much whether he waa lurking in the
thicket back of the canoe, as how be
would be apt to receive callers.
The canoe looked harmless—an old-
fashioned one of birch bark and not
the later kind made of canvas. It wa>
long, narrow, and shallow, patched in
many places and must have had many
) ears of service.
We hesitate about landing on un-
known shores, and Martin now exper-
ienced this feeling; but at last he mo-
tioned to Levi, and as his canoe
grounded on the sandy bea^. Martin
stepped out with rifle in hand and led
fhe way up the narrow path. And very
slowly those four. In single file, ad-
vanced. The path wound around, se-
ct ndlnp n hrw hill, thick grown with
spruce at Its base, then white birch on
top. and beyond those soon uppeared
an opening, and facing it a log-cabin
half hidden under green vines. A
smaller one stood back of It The
opening bristled with blackened stumps,
a fence of birch stakes driven into the
earth snd bound with bark withes, sur-
rounded cabins and cleared space, and
In this rude garden «pot potatoes, beam.,
snd corn, were Jtist growing green. No
occupant of the cabin was visible, Its
doi>r was closed, and as the now as-
tonished party drew near, a dozen or
more red squirrels were observed,
lurched on the cabin or frisking about
It, seoldlng and chattering One bolder
than the rest ad\sn<«d to meet the vis-
itors with evident delight. It wa suck
a peaceful scene, nnd the squirrels

Martin knocked at the door, but re-
ceived no response, then lifted the
latch, opened It a little way and glanced
In. The interior waa neat, and odorous
with fir boughs, a few dishes were
piled on a shelf-like table, two stooia
of spilt slsbs stood near s small stove
In one cuiner, and on the bunk lay the
akins of two luclveea and a deer, while
others hung from the log walls. A few
steel traps slso hung from chains, and
as If to add welcome to th«- now sur-
prised rallern, while they looked, s
squirrel suddenly appesred at the one
little window, now open, sat upright
snd began to chatter
