Bullets started singing around them, snipping twigs from the spruces, splaating into the tree boles, zzinging murderously close. Thirty yards ahead Craig aaw a little tangle of buckbrush and boulders. If he and Poleon could squeeze down among those rocks and find shelter, they might force the to come near enough that he could fling a dynamite stick at them. He made a break for the refuge, dragging Poleon along. A bullet hit Poleon, but the huge fellow merely grunted and plowed on, following Craig like a blinded bull moose. Then a screaming steel-jackhit Craig. He felt a sudin his right den terrific pain-bloankle, hia leg gave way, and he fell to his knees, at the edge of the tangle. He tried to stand up again, but his leg crumpled. Looking down he saw that his at his khoe-paankle had been hit and shattered.

Through the buckbrush Craig watched up valley and saw the three metis creep closer and closer. In a thicket 50 yards away they (topped end. wavered, evidently afraid to come on even though they knew that their two enemies were wounded and weaponless. Eying the thicket Craig debated whether to throw one of the short-fuse- d sticks which he held ready. The three Chlwaughlmis were close in together; if he could land a stick that little thicket he would get all three of them. But the distance was too great; he was too weak to throw that far. If he threw and missed, they would be warned that he had dynamite with him. They would keep off to a safe distance, riddle the tangle with bullets, and kill him and Poleon outright Hia first try at them had to be good.
