Adr. mil" Jut Warned by his physician that ho has not more than six months to live, Dan Falling sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he ahould spend those six months. Memories of his grandfather and a deep love for all things of the wild help him In reaching a decision. In a large southern Oregon city he meets people who had known and loed his grandfather, a famous frontiersman. He makes his home with Silas Lennox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Lennox's son, "Bill." and daughTheir abode Is ter, "Snowbird." In the Umpqua divide, and there Failing plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told Is his. From the first Falling's health shows a marked Improvement, and In the companionship of Lennox and his son and daughter he fits Into the woods life as It he had been born to. It By quick thinking and a remarkable display of "nerve" he saves Lennox's life and his own when they are attacked by a mad coyote. Lennox declares he Is a reincarnation of his grandfather, Dan Falling I, whose fame as a woodsman la a household word. CHAPTER III opened, and It might he that Dan want to procure one of these creatures. "But I'm not sure I want to hunt deer," Dan told him. "You speak of them as being so beautiful " "They are beautiful and your grandfather would never hunt them, either, except for meat. But mnybe you'll change your mlud when you see a buck. Besides, we might run Into a lynx or a panther. But not very likely, without dogs." They trudged up, over the carpet of pine needles. They fought their way through a thicket of buekbrush. Once they saw the gray squirrels In the tree tops. And before Lennox had as much as supposed they were near the haunts of big game, a yearling doe sprang up from its bed in the thickets. For an Instant she stood motionless, presenting a perfect target.

Continued. 5 Dan saw the door close behind him, and he had an Instant's glimpse of the long sweep of moonlit ridge that stretched beneath the window. Then, ill at, once, seemingly without warning, It simply blinked out. Not until the next morning did he really know why. Insomnia was an old acquaintance of Dan's, and he had expected to have some trouble in getting to sleep. His only real trouLle was waking up again when Lennox called him to breakfast He couldn't believe that the light at his window shade was really that of morning. "Good Heavens!" his host exploded. "You sleep the sleep of the Just." Dan was about to tell him that on the contrary he was a very nervous deeper, but he thought better of It. Something had surely happened to his Insomnia. The next Instant he even forgot to wonder about it In the reall-tatlo- n that his tired body had been He had no wonderfully refreshed. 4 read now of the long tramp up the ridge that his host had planned. But first came target practice. In Dan's baggage he had a certain very plain but serviceable sporting rifle of about thirty-fortcaliber a gun that the Information depurtment of the store in Gltche-apoli- s large sporting-good- s had recommended for his purpose. Except for the few moments In the store. Dan had never held a rifle In his hands. The first shot he hit the trunk of a five-fopine at thirty paces. "But I couldn't very well have missed It !" he replied to Lennox's sheer. "Ton see, I aimed at the middle but I Just grassed the edge." The second shot was not so good, missing the tree altogether. And It was a singular thing that be aimed longer and tried harder on this shot than on (he first The third time he tried still harder, and made by far the worst shot of all. "What's the matter?" he demanded. Tm getting worse all the time." Lennox didn't know for sure. But be made a long guess. "It might be beginner's luck," he said, "but I'm to think you're trying too bard. Take It easier depeud more on your Instincts." Dan's reply was to lift the rifle lightly to his shoulder, glance quickly long the trigger and fire. The bullet truck within one Inch of the center f the pine.

Can It ho that a little of your old grandfa ther's skill has been passed down to yon? But you can't do It again." But Dan did do It again. If any thing, the bullet was a little nearer the center. And then he aimed at a more distant tree. But the hammer snapped down In effectively on the breech. lie turned with a look of question. "Your gun only holds five shots," bennox explained. Reloading, tfled a more difficult target a trunk ilinost one hundred yards distant. Of course It would have been only child's lay to an experler.ced hunter: but to a tenderfoot It was a difficult mark Indeed.

The wild was to him, wakening tnstlncta long smothered In cities, but sure and true as ever. It was the beginning of regeneration. Voices of the long past were speaking to him, and the Fallings once more had begun to run, true to form. Inherited tendencies were In a moment changing this weak, diseased youth into a frontiersman and wilderness Inhabitant such as his ancestors bad been before him. They were slipping along over the pine needles, their eyes Intent on the trull ahead. And then Lennox saw a curious thing. He beheld Dan suddenly stop In the trail and turn hlg eyes toward a heavy thicket that lay perhaps one hundred yards to their right. For an Instant he looked almost like a wild creature himself. Hl head was lowered, as If he were listening. His muscles were set and. ready. Lennox had prided himself that he had retained all the powers of his five senses, and that few men In the moun tains had keener ears than be. Yet It was truth that at first he only knew the silence, and the stir and pulse of his own blood. He assumed then that Dan was watching something that from his position, twenty feet behind, lie could not see. ne tried to probe the thickets with his eyes. Then Dan whispered. Ever so soft a sound, but yet distinct In the silence. "There's something living in thnt thicket." Then Lennox heard It, too. As they stood still, the sound became ever clearer and more pronounced. Some living creature was advancing toward them ; and twigs were cracking beneath Its feet. The sounds were rather subdued, and yet, as the animal approached, both of them Instinctively knew that they were extremely loud for the usual footsteps of any of the wild creatures. "What is It?" Dan asked quietly. Lennox was so intrigued by the sounds that he was not even observant of the peculiar, subdued quality In Dsn's voice. Otherwise, he would have wondered at it "I'm free to confess I don't know," he said. "It's booming right toward us, like most animals don't care to do. Of course It may be a human being. You must watch out for that." They waited. The sound ended. They stood straining for a long moment without speech. "That was the dumdest thing!" Lennox went on. "Of course it might have been a beat? you never know what they're going to do. It might have got sight of us and turned off. But I can't believe that it was Just a deer " But then his words chopped squarely off In his throat The plodding advance commenced again. And the next instant a gray form revealed itself at the edge of the thicket It was Graycoat the coyote, half-blin- d with his madness, and desperate In his agony. There was no more deadly thing In all the hilts than he. Even the bite of a rattlesnake would have been welcomed beside his. He stood a long instant, and all his Instincts and reflexes that Would have ordinarily made htm flee In abject terror were thwarted and twisted by the fever of his madness, ne stared a moment at the two figures, and his red eyes could not interpret them. They were simply foes, for It was true that when this racking . agony was upon him, even lifeless trees seemed foes sometimes. He seemed eerie and unreal as he gazed at them out of his burning eyes ; and the white foam gathered at his fangs. And then, wholly without warning, be charged down at them. He came with unbelievable speed. The elder Lennox cried once In warning and cursed himself for venturing forth on the ridge without a gun. He was fully twenty feet distant from Dan; yet he saw in an Instant his only course. This was no time to trust, their lives to the marksmanship of an amateur. He sprang toward Dan. Intending to wrench the weapon from hla hand. But he didn't achieve his purpose. At the first step his foot caught In a projecting root, and he was shot to his face on the trail. But a long life In the wilderness had developed Lennox's reflexes to an abnormal degree; many crises had taught him muscle and nerve control ; and only for a fraction of an Instant a period of time that few Instrument are fine enough to measure, did he lie supinely upon the ground. He rolled on. Into a position of defense. But he knew now he could not reach the younger man before the mad coyote would be npon them. The matter was out of his hands.
