Miss Candish was bringing her brother and sister nearer to civilization in hope of better schooling for them. She had always lived in the remote forest with her father, who was an ardent naturalist and hunter. After he died they preferred to remain until now. Coming here, a pack of wolves attacked them, and but for the dog, with a little help from me, all would have been killed. It seems to me such a dog, with nothing against him but two paltry sheep, for which he isn't really to blame, should " "Be killed!" yelled the sheriff as Loth's face half turned at a step behind. The man had been waiting for any possible chance, and now his hand darted for his rifle. But before it could be raised to a level a shot rang out, the bullet evidently striking the barrel, for there was a clink of metal, a howl from the man and the weapon fell back to the ground. "Hold your hands up again, high," called a clear, girlish voice. "Mr. Loth, you go and search them for revolvers. Draw charges from them and from the rifles and take away all their ammunition. Then we'll start them down the slope and if they come back shoot them. They act to me more like a gang of desieradoes than officers." "We'Ii show what we are when we come back," raged the sheriff. "We have wo good rifles waiting," warned the girl, "and you're the mau they'll pick." She waited calmly until they were out of sight, then whirled to Loth. "There's the boat we poled up the river the last forty miles," she cried. "The current back Is swifter than we could go, even if we had horses. Then we'll strike straight into the woods to the old forest home. We'll all love to go back and you can educate the children. Don't you understand?" at the look on his face. "Father's (lead and his position is gone, and I I've (hanged my mind.

"Now. men, I want a little talk with you," he said, when he stopped and "faced them. "All right," was the surly answer, "when we've killed that ugly brute. Either he'll fly at us or make a dash into the woods, whar no one could find him. Two sheep" "I don't often ask a favor of any man." said Loth, still quietly, "but I do now. Let me tell" "Stand away from that dog or we'll were hey, what!" for two revolvers menacing them. "Let your weapons drop on the ground," coldly. "The first one who lifts one so much as an Inch I'll drop. This dog beside me is worth the whole bunch of you, and rather than have him killed I will kill you all. That's right," as the rifles rattled to the ground. "Now, hands up, quick, and listen I was willing to talk fair, but you're a set of cheap" "Careful," broke in the one who had all but spoken first. "I'm sheriff, an' two of these are my dep'ties. The killed oyier two are owners of the sheep.

"Kemeniber, you're a man, Champ,' he said in a low voice, "more than twelve years old. Your sister Ann has If hardly slept in a week. I hoped Izette could get quiet that Ann might find some rest today. Try not to disturb them, no matter what you hear outside." The boy nodded, his steady eyes regarding the man intently. "Of course," he assented, "but it's odd Izette's worse off, when she was wounded like me." "You don't quite understand." gently. "Izette's only a little girl, while you're a big, strong man. P.esides she bad a bad fall when you stumbled over the high bank in the darkness. It was a terrible experience for a little girl to go through." Again the boy nodded, his eyes still regarding the man. In them were devotion and hero worship. "S'pose 'twas pretty bad, she being only seven. But I'm thinkin' now how funny 'twas you happened to be there right In the nick o' time." "Iwas sort of looking out." "Like you was when the bull moose charged nie an' I was saved from being a goner, an' when I took the cub nn' papa an' mamma grizzly rushed for me not ten yards off. You came from behind a rock, but didn't have time for anything 'cept to grab me, cub an' all, an' jump forty feet from the cliff into the river. That was busy fun's I ever had. The odd thing was that you happened to he sort of Innkin' out. An' there's been other times." "You never told your sister anything about me being there?" quickly. "Course not. You told me not to. But I never could see why. Once I heard you say you liked Ann. an' I know she likes darin' things. She's that way herself. I don't guess Ann ever had any thought 'bout you being in the country till that night the wolves chased us an' still, I don't know. Ann's mighty quick to scent out things, though what she finds out she keeps to herself, mostly." The boyish eyes grew perplexed. "1 don't see what you stay off so for," he complained, almost fretfully. "You ain't scared of grizzlies nor anything In the world 'cept just Ann, an' she's gentle ns-- ns anything, nn' the best girl in the world, if she 13 my sister.
