At flrst all that Dnn could aoe was the glitter of a knife blade. Cranston seemed to be whittling a piece of Now dead pine Into fine shavings. he wus gathering pine needles and small twigs, making a little pile of them. And then, Just as Cranston drew his match, Dan saw his purpose. Cranston was at his old trade setting a forest fire. For two very good reasons, Dnn didnt call to him at once. The two reasons were that Cranston hnd a rifle and that Dan was unarmed. It might be extremely likely that Cranston would choose the most plausible and effective means of preventing an Interruption of his crime, nnd by the same token, prevent word of the crime ever The rifle reaching .the authorities. contained five cartridges, and only one him. b "Diamond Dye Old Garments CEPICCCEi t OF THE' And Draperies AAIZSIALLi--k- - Each package of Diamond Dyes" contalna easy directions for dyeing any garment or drapery.

The trail was Just a narrow serpent In the brush; and It hnd not been made by gangs of laborers, working with shovels and picks. Possibly half a dozen white men, in all, had ever walked along It. It was Just the path of the wild creatures, worn down by hoof and paw and cushion since the young days of the world. It was a roundabout trail home, but yet It had Its advantages. It took him within two miles of Snowbird's lookout station, and at this hour of day he had been particularly fortunate In finding her at a certain spring on the mountain side. It was rather a singular coincidence. Along ah&ut four he would usually find himself wandering up that way. Strangely enough, at the same time, it' was true that she had an Irresistible Impulse to go down and sit In the green ferns beside the same spring.

Although It was near the lookout station, every condition pointed to a disastrous fire. The brush was dry as tinder, not so heavy ns to choke the wind, but yet tall enough to carry the flame Into the tree tops. The stiff breeze up the ridge would certainly carry the flame for miles through the parched Divide before help could come. In the meantime stock and lives and homes would he endangered, beside the Irreparable There were many loss of timber. things that Dan might do, but giving up was not one of them. , After all, he did the wisest thing of all. He simply came out In plain sight and unconcernedly walked down the trail toward Cranston. At the same Instant, the latter struck his match.-- v As Dan was no longer stalking, Cranston immediately heard hla step. He whirled, recognized Dan, and for one long Instant In which the world seemed to have time In plenty to make a complete revolution, he stbod perfectly motionless. The match flared In hla dark fingers, hia eyes full of singular conjecturing rested on Dans face. No Instant of the latters life had ever been fraught with greater peril. He understood perfectly what was going on In Cranstons mind. The was calmly deeding whether to shoot or whether to bluff It ouL One required no more moral courage than the other. It really didn't make a great deal of difference to Cranston. But he decided that the killing was not worth the cartridge. The other course was too easy. He did not even dream that Den hnd been shndowlng him and had seen his intention. He would have inughed at the Idea (hat a tenderfoot could thus walk behind him, nnheard. Without concern, he scattered with hltf foot the little heap of kindling, and slipping his pipe Into his mouth, he touched the flaring match to If. It was a wholly admirable little piece of acting, nnd would have deceived any one who had not seen his previous preparations. Then he walked on down the trail toward Dan. Dan stopped and lighted his own pipe. It wafi a curious little truce. And then he leaned back against the great gray trunk of a fallen tree. , "Well, Cranston." he said flvllly. The men had met on previous occasions, nnd always there had been the same Invisible war between them. How do you do, Falling," Cranston replied. No perceptions couid be so blunt ns to miss the premeditated Insult In the tone. He didn't speak In his own tonene at nil. the short, guttural Howdy" thnt Is the greeting of the mountain men.

The shock of her son's death resulted In the serlons breakdown of Mrs. Dodd's health, but everyone will learn with Interest and pleasure that she Is now In splendid health again. When seen at her home recently she made the following statement, giving the entire credit for her recovery to thfe medicine, Tanlac. "After my dear boy's death I hnd a general breakdown In health," said Mrs. Dodd. "At first It was Just Indigestion. My food used to upset me and I had to diet myself very carefully, which wasnt much hardship, as I lost all desire to eah Then I had an attack of rheumatism, with severe pains In my shoulders, back and arms. Sometimes I used to suffer a great deal, and my Joints would get all swollen np nnd stiff. I was able to do very little about the house, and at times couldn't even cook a meal.' I got very nervous and restless, and at night would lay awake for hours, and lost many a nights sleep as a consequence. "A friend of mine had received a great deal of help from Tanlac, and It was she who advised me to try It. I am so glad I did for It proved the best medicine I have ever taken. It soon gave me a good appetite and seemed to settle my stomach so that I was no longer troubled with Indigestion. I dont know what It Is to have rheumatic pains m,w, the swelling and stiffness has all gone out of my Joints and I am able to do the work of the honse with the greatest ease. My nerves are now steady and strong. I sleep fine at night, and I feel better In health than ever before In my life.
