Landing on the bench under the ridge, Steele left the others with the No wild firing, now! Rewarning: member the whistle! Well meet here on tlrls sand bench."

The danger of the hunters firing Into each other was great, and he climbed cautiously, taking the cover of the down timber, ears alert for the staccato. whistle of the yellow legs, their signal of Identification. At last, with skin and clothes torn by the brittle twigs of the dead spruce, he reached the flat sholuder of the ridge. For some time the night had brooded, unmarred by the voice. Cocking Ids rifle he crept forward, searching the area of skeleton trees, ghostly In the pale light of the stars, for some movement. He was puzzled at the failure of the Indians, whose pnee should have been faster than his, to reach the brow of the ridge. If they had, perhaps even now, the roving eye of Michel already marked him out was righting down a rifle barrel, his crooked finger on the trigger, waiting to be .sure of bis target before he fired. At the thought Steele flattened out and whistled. of a gray owl, But the hoo-ho- o the green tlmter of the lake shore below, was his only answer. ' Minutes, which seemed Interminable to the watcher, passed. Where were the Indians? Then to his surprise nn unspeakable mewing defiled the night. In vain he strove to locate the position of the beast. But, as the mewing merged Into the shrieks of a woman, the flash and report, flash and report, of two rifles cut It short off. Something thrashed through the timber out in front. He swung his rifle In the direction of the sound, his eyes straining for a target. The starlight gave him a fleeting gllmpie of a dark object crossing the bole of a skeleton spruce, and he fired twice. Then leaping down, he plunged through the tangle of (lend spruce In the woke of David and Michel who had stalked their quarry, but evidently In the uncertain light, missed. Down over the treacherous going of the slope of the ridge the Indians hunted the thing their rifle shots had stampeded. Tripping,, falling, to rise and stumble on through the network of trunks and limbs, Steele struggled to keep at the heels of his men. But gradually the noise of the pursuit drew away from the white man, no match for those who, from childhood, had traveled the forests at night. In nn hour two grimy, battered , bleeding from contact tilth the timber, appeared on the beach. "Well, It fooled us again," vouchsafed Steele, ruefully, did you see It?" We nevalre see heem," muttered the disheartened Michel, squatting on his heels at the waters edge to bathe his face, and his shoulders from which the woolen shirt hung In rib- By Taking Lydia E.
