Bert Cranston knelt In a brush covert, his rltle loaded and ready in his lean, dark hands. No wolf that ran the ridges, no cougar that waited on the deer trails knew a wilder passion, a more terrible blood-lus- t than he. It showed In his eyes, narrow and never resting from their watch of the trail ; It was in his posture ; and It revealed Itself unmistakably In the curl of his Hps. Something like hot steam was In his brain, blurring his sight and heating his CRANSTON SEES RED. Synopsis. Warned by his physician that be has not more than six months to live, Dan Falling sits despondently on a park bench, wondering where he should 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 loved his grandfather, a famous frontiersman, lie makes his home with Silas Lnnox, a typical westerner. The only other members of the household are Iennox's son, "BUI," and daughter, "Snowbird." Their abode Is In the Umpqua divide, and there Falling plans to live out the short span of life which he has been told Is hi.' From the first Falling's health shows a marked Improvement, and In the companionship of Lennox and hla son and daughter he fits Into the woods life as If 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 is a household word. Dan learns that an organized band of outlaws, of which Bert Cranston Is the leader, Is setting forest fires. Landry Hildreth. a former member of the gang, has been Induced to turn state's evidence. blood. The pine needles hung wholly motionless above his bead ; but yet the dead leaves on which he knelt crinkled and rustled nnder him. Only the keenest ear could have heard the sound ; and possibly In his madness, Cranston himself was not aware of It. And one would have wondereu a long time as to what caused It. It was simply that he was shivering all over with hate-an- fury. A twig cracked, far on the ridge above him. He leaned forward, peering, and the moonlight showed his face in unsparing detail. It revealed the deep lines, the terrible, drawn lips, the ugly bair long over the dark ears. His strong hands tightened upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry figure grew tense. Of course It wouldn't do to let his prey come too close.

The man's steps wtre quite distinct But Dan was hardly listening. His attention was caught by the hushed, by now. Cranston heard him fighting intermittent sounds that are always to his way through the brush thickets, and once a flock of grouse, frightened be heard, if one listens keenly enough, in the wilderness at night, "I wish the puck would sound again," he suld. "I suppose It was hunting." "Of course. And there is no living thing In these woods that can stand against a wolf pack in its full strength." "Except man, of course." "A strong man, with an accurate rifle, of course, and except possibly In the starving times In winter he'd never have to fight them. All the beasts of prey are out tonight. You see, Dan, when the inoon shines, the deer feed at night instead of in the twilights and the dawn. And of course the wolves and the cougars hunt the deer. It may be that they are running cattle, or even sheep." But Dan's imagination was afire. He wasn't content yet. "They couldn't be hunting ninn?" be asked. "No. If It was midwinter and the pack was starving, we'd have to listen better. It always looked to nie as If the wild creatures had a law gainst killing men. Just as humans have.

Hildreth would have preferred to wait in the hills and possibly to write another letter, but a chill that kept growing at his finger tips forbade it. ' And all these things combined to stretch his nerves almost to the breaking point as he stole along the moonlit trail under the pines. A moment before the rush and whil of the grouse flock had dried the roof of his mouth with terror. The tall trees appalled him, the shadows fell upon his spirit. And when he heard this final sound, when he saw the glint that might so easily have been a l, his nerves and muscles reacted at once. Not even a fraction of a second intervened. His gun flashed up and a little, angry cylinder of flame darted, as a snake's head darts, from the muzzle. Hildreth didn't take aim. There wasn't time. The report roared in the darkness ; the bullet sang harmlessly and thudded Into the earth ; and both of them were the last things in the world that Cranston had expected. And they were not a moment too soon. Even at that Instant, his finger was closing down upon the trigger, Hildreth standing clear and revealed through the sights. The nervous response that few men In the world would be enough to prevent occurred at the same instant that he pressed the trigger. His own fire answered, so near to the other that both of them sounded as one report. Most hunters can usually tell, even If they cannot see their game fall, whether they have hit or missed. This was one of the few times In his life that Cranston could not have told. He knew that as his finger pressed he had held as accurate a "bead" as at any time in his life. He did not know still another circumstance that in the moonlight he had overestimated the distance to the clearing, and Instead of one hundred yards It was scarcely fifty. He had held rather high. And he looked up, unknowing whether he had succeeded or whether he was face to face with the prospect of a duel to the death In the darkness. And all he saw was Hildreth, rocking back and forth in the moonlight a stranee picture that he was never entirely to forget. It was a motion that no man could pretend. And he knew he had not missed. He waited till he saw the form of d his enemy rock down, face in the pine needles. It never even occurred to him to approach to see If he had made a clean kill. He had held on the breast and be had a world of e confidence in his great, shocking, rifle. Besides, the rifle fire might attract some hunter in the hills: and there would be time in the morning to return to the body and make certain little investigations that he had in mind. And running back down the trail, be missed the sight of Hildreth dragging his wounded body, like an injured hare. Into the shelter of the thickets.
