But the terrible fangs were never
to know her white flesh. Some one
had come between. There was no
chance to shoot: Whisperfoot and the
| girl were too near together for that.
| But one course remained; and there
I was not even time to count the cost.
In thl? most terrible moment of Dan
Failing's life, there was not even an
^instant's hesitation. He did npt know
i that Whisperfoot was wounded. He
, saw the beast creeping forward in the
| weird dancing light of the fallen lan-
j tern, and he only knew that his liesh,
not hers, must resist Its rending tnl-
I ons. Nothing else mattered. No oth-
er consideration could come between.
It was the test; and Dan's Instincts
prompted coolly and well. He leaped
with all his strength. The cougar
bounded Into his arms, not upon the
prone body of the girl. And she open-
ed her eyes to hear a curious thrash-
ing In the pine needles, a strange grim
battle that, as the lantern flashed out,
was hidden in the darkness.
And that battle, In the far reaches
of the Divide, passed Into a legend. It
was the tale of how Dan Falling, his
gun knocked from his hands as he
met the cougar's leap, with fTls own
unaided arms kept the life-giving
breath from the animal's lungs and
killed him in the pine needles. Claw
and fang and the frenzy of death
could not matter at all.
Thus Falling established before all
men his right to the name he bore.
And thus he paid one of his debts—
life for a life, as the code of the forest
has always decreed—and In the fire
of danger and pain his metal was
tried and proven.

Who Developed Speed Bug?
In 1882 twenty miles were first rid-
den within the hour. The rider was
Dr. II. L. Cor'i.i, one of the greatest
hnglish amateurs of his day. He
rode a fifty-nlne-lnch high wheeler and
the track was surfaced with cinders.
It is interesting to note the progress
made since Dr. Cortis first developed
the speed mania. The first nine-Inch
high wheeler has developed Into the
modern, record-breaking .motorcycle of
today, while the twenty-miles-per
hour pace has been pushed up to the
l^G-milcs-per-hour mark. What will be
the speed record forty years from now?

Paying in Dresden China.
Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the u lal Dresden mark are
being passed from hand to hand in
Saxony. It is not that people are bar-
tering their cups and saucers or are
getting rid of the contents of their
china cupboards, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark of Dres-
den has been noted.
A new coinage in porcelain has been
put Into circulation to supersede small
paper money, and one of its valuable
assets Is the fact that it can be
washed, so no one need complain of
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with a hearty welcome,
and the factory of Meissen has never
sent out- anything more popular than
these little pieces of china that are
too small for a plate, too shallow to
hold water and not adorned with any-
thing but the most simple devices.
BOOK THREE
The Payment.
CHAPTER I.
The T^ennox home, In the wilderness
of the Umpqtia Divide, looked rather
like nn emergency hospital for the first
few days after Dan's fight with Whis-
perfoot. Its oM sounds of laughter
and talk were almost entirely lacking.
Two Injured men and a girl recovering
from a nervous collapse do not tend
toward cheer.
But the natural sturdlness of all
three quickly came to their aid. Of
course Lennox had been severely in-
jured by the falling log. and many
weeks would pass before he would be
able to walk again. He could sit up
for short periods, however; had the
partial use of one arm; and could pro-
pel himself—after the first few weeks
—at a snail's pace through the rooms

nuity had contrived. The great livid
scratches that Dan bore on his body
quickly began to heal; and before a
! week was done he began to venture
forth on the hills again. Snowbird
had remained In bed for three days;
' then she had hopped out one bright
| afternoon, swearing never to go back
' Into It again. Evidently the crisp, fall
' nlr of the mountains had Leen a nerve
tonic for them all.
Of course thers had been medical
Ittentlon. A doct.r and a nurse had
motored up the day after the accident;
the physician had set the bones and
departed, and the nurse remained for
a week, to see the grizzled mountain-
eer well on the way of convalescence.
But It was an anxious wait, and Len-
nox's car was kept constantly In readi-
ness to speed her away In case the
snows should start. At last she had
left him In Snowbird's hands, and Bill
had driven her back to the settlements
In his father's car. The die was now
cast as to whether or not Dan and
the remainder of the family should
winter in the mountain. The snow
clouds deepened every day, the frost
was ever heavier In the dawns, and
the road would surely remain open
onlv a few days more.
Once more the three seemingly had
the Divide all to themselves. Bert
Cranston had evidently deserted his
cabin and was working a trap-line on
the Umpqua sThe rangers left
)he little station, all danger of flre
past, and went down to their offices
In the federal building of one of the

ranch hands that had driven up wltji
Bill rode away to the valleys Alie last
of the live stock—the horse that Dan
had ridden to Snowbird's defense.
Nothing had been heard of Landy
Hlldreth, who nsed to live on the
trail to the mnrsh, and both Lennox
and his daughter wondered why. There
were also certain officials who had
fcegun to be curious. As yet. Dan
had told no one of the grltn And he
had made on his return from hunting.
And he would have found It an ex-
tremely difficult fact to explain.
It all wtnt back to those Inner
springs of motive that few men con
see clearly enough within themselves
to recognize. Even the first day, when
he lay burning from his wounds, he
worked out his own explanation in re-
gard to the murder mystery. lie
hadn't the slightest doubt but that
Cranston bad killed Hlldreth to pre-
vent his testimony from reachlng the
courts below. Of course, any other
member of the arson ring of lilllinen
might have been the murderer; yet
Dan was Inclined to believe that Cran-
ston, the leader of the gang, usually
preferred to do such dangerous work
as this himself. If It were true, some-
where on that tree-clad ridge clues
would be left. Moreover, It was wholly
possible that the written testimony
Hlldreth must have gathered hud nev-
er been found or destroyed. Dan
didn't want the aid of the courts to
find these clues He wanted to work
out the case h.mself. It resolved it-
self into a simple matter of vengeance:
Dan had his debt to pay, and he want-
ed to bring Cranston to ruin by his
own hand alone.
While It was tru^ that he took ra-
ther more than the casual Interest
that most citizens feel In the destruc-
tion of the forest by wanton fire, and
had nn actual sense of duty to do all
that he could to stop the activities of
the arson ring, his motives, stripped
and bare, were really not utilitarian.
He had no particular Interest In Hil-
droth's case. He remembered him sim-
ply as one of Cranston's disreputable
gang, a poacher and a fire bug him-

tween Don and Cranston. And per-
sonal issues are frowned upon by law
and society. Civilization has tolled
up from tfle darkness In a great meas-
ure to get away from them. But hu-
man nature remains distressingly the
same, and Dan's desire *o pay his debt
was a distinctly human emotion. Some-
time a breed will live upon the earth
that can get clear away from personal
vengeance—from that age-old (Side
of the hills that demands a blow
for a blow and a life for a life—but
the time Is not yet. And after all, by
all the standards of men ns men, not
as read In idealistic philosophies,
Dan's debt was entirely real. By the
light held high by his ancestors, he
could not turn his other cheek.
Just as soon as he was able he went
back to the *>cene of the murder. He
didn't know when the snow would
come to cover what evidence there
was. It threatened every hour. Ev-
ery wind promised it. The air was
sharp and cold, and no drop of rain
could fall through It without crystpl-
llzlng Into snow. The deer had all
gone and the burrowing people had
sought their holes. The bees worked
no more In the winter flowers. Of
all the greater forest creatures only
the wolves and the bear remained—
the former because their fear of men
would not penult them to go down
to the lower hills, and the latter be-
cause of his knowledge that when
food became scarce he could always
burrow In the snow. No bear goes
Into hibernation from choice. Wise

Just ss late hours as he can—as long
as the eating places In the berry thick-
ets remain open. The cougars had
all gone down with the deer, the mi-
gratory birds had departed, and even
the squirrels were in hiding.
The scone didn't offer much In the
wajr'of does. Of the bod/ lualf onlv
a white heap of bones remained, for >
many and terrible had been the agents
at work upon them. The clothes, how-
ever particularly the coat, were prac-
tical"? intact. Gripping himself, Dan
thrust his fingers Into its pockets, then
Into the pockets of the shirt and trous-
ers. All paper that would In aay
way serve to Identify the murdered
man, or tell what his purpose had been
In Journeying down the trail the night
of the murder had been removed. Only
one explanation presented Stre'.f.
Cranston bad come before him and
searched ;he body himself.
Dan looked about for tracks, and he
was considerably surprised to find the
blurred. Indistinct Imprint of a shoe
other than his own. He hadn't the
least hope that the tracks themselves
would offer a clue to a detective.
They were too dim for that. The sur-
prising fact was that since the mur-
der had been committed Immediately
before the fall ruins, the water hud
not completely washed them out. The
only possibility remaining was that
Cranston had returned to the body
after the week's rainfall. The track
had been dimmed by the lighter rains
that had fallen since.
But yet It wns entirely to he ex-
pected that the examination of the
body would be on afterthought on
Cranston's pnrt. Possibly at first his
only thought wns to kill and, follow-
ing the prompting that has sent so
many murderers to the gallows, he
had afterward returned to the scene
of the crime to destroy any clues he
might have left and to search the
body for any evidence against the
arson ring.
Dun's next thought was to follow
along the trail and find Cranston's
ambush. Of course It would be In the
direction of the settlement from the
body, ns the bullet had entered from
the front. He found It hard to believe
that Hlldreth had fallen In the exact
spot where the body lay. Men Jour-
neying nt night keep to the trail, and
the white heap Itself was fully forty
feet back from the trail In the thick-
ets. Perhaps Cranston had dragged It
there to hide It from the sight of any-
one who might pass along the lonely
trail again; and It was a remote pos-
sibility that Whisperfoot, coming In
the night, had tugged It Into the thick-
ets for dreadful purposes of Ills own.
Likely the shot wns fired when Hll-
dreth was In nn open place on the
trail; and Dan searched for the ani-
bunh with this conclusion In mind. He
walked back, looking for a thicket
from which such a spot/would be vis-
ible. Something over fifty yards down
he found It* and he knew It by the
empty brass rifle cartridge that lay
half burled In the wet leaves.
The shell was of the same caliber
as Cranston's rifle. Dan's hand shook
ns he put It In his pocket.
Encouraged by this amazing find,
he turned up the trail toward Hil-
dreth's cabin. It might be possible,
he 4hpught, that Hlldreth had left
some dp his testimony—perhaps such
rudely scrawled letters as Cranston
had written him—!n >me forgotten

waif / Jan's hardened legs, and he
made :t before mldafternoon.
The search Itself was wholly with-
out resi'lt. But because he had time
to think as he climbed the ridge, be-
cnuse as he strode along beneath thnt
wintry sky he had a chance to con-
sider every detail of the case, he was
able to start out on a new tack when,
Just before sunset, he returned to the
body. This new train of thought had
ns Its basis that Cranston's shot had
not been deadly at once; that, wound-
ed, Hlldreth hnd hjmself crawled Into
the thickets where Whisperfoot had
found him. And that meant that he

trail and the location of the bodv.
It was possibly a distance of forty
feet, and getting down on his hnnds
and knees, Dan looked for any break
In the shrubbery that would indicate
the path thnt the wounded Hlldreth
hnd taken. And It was ten minutes
well rewarded, as far as clearing up
certain details of the crime. Ills
senses hnd been trained and sharp-
ened by his months In the wilderness,
and he was able to hack-track the
wounded man from the skeleton clear
to the clearing on the trail where he
had first fallen. But as no clues pre-
sented themselves, he started to turn
home.
He walked twelve feet, then turned
back. Out of the corner of his eye It
seemed to him that he had caught a
flash of white, near the end of a great,
dead log beside the path that the
wounded Hlldreth had taken. For a
moment he searched In vain. Evident-
ly a yellow leaf had deceived blm.
Once more he retraced his steps, try-
ing to find the position from which his
eye had caught the glimpse of white.
Then he dived Ptralght for the rottef
end of the log.
