A hundred |yards 'upstream he could see where gravel and rock were replaced entire {ly by sand, quite a wide, unbroken [year of it, across which those claw- ed and moccasined feet must have {travelled it they had followed the jereek. He was not interested in the bear, and Baree was not interested in |the Indian boy; so when they came {to the sand one followed the moccd~ sin tracks and the other the claw tracks. They were not at any time |more than ten feet apart. And then, lall at once, they came together, and . [David saw that the bear had crossed [the sand last and that his huge paws Ihad obliterated a part of the macca- {sin trail. This did not strike him {as unusually significant until he {came to a point where the moccasins {turned sharply and circled to the right. The bear followed. A little ./farther--and David's heart gave & sudden thump! At first it might have been coincidence," a bit of chance, It was chance no longer. It was deliberate. The claws were on the trail of the moccasins. David halted and pocketed his pipe, on which he had not drawn a breath in several minutes. He looked at his rifle, making sure that it was ready for action. Baree was growling. His | white fangs gleamed and lurid lights {were in his eyes as he gazed ahead and sniffed. David shuddered. With- out doubt the claws had overtaken the moccasins by this time. It was a grizzly. He guessed so much by the size of the spoor. He followed it across a bar of gravel. Then they turned a twist in the creek and came to other sand. A cry of amazement burst from David's lips when 'he. looked closely at the two trails again, The moccasins were now following the grizzly! He stared, for a few moments dis- believing his eyes. Here, too, there was no room for doubt. The feet. of the Indian boy had trodden in the tracks of the bear, The evidence was conclusive; the fact astonishing: Of course, it was barely possible . . . Whatever the thought might have been in David's mind, it never reach- ed a conclusion. He did not ery out at what he saw after that. He mage no sound. Perhaps he did not even breathe. But it was there--under his eyes; inexplicable, amazing, not to be easily believed. A third time the order of the mysterious foot- prints in the sand was changed--and the grizzly was now following the boy, obliterating almost entirely the indentures in the sand of his small, moccasined feet. He wbndered whether it was possible that his eyes had gone bad on him, or that his mind had slipped out of its normal groove and was tricking him with wierdly hallucinations. Sa what happened in almost the same breath did not startle him as it might other- wise have done. It was for a brief moment simply another assurance of his sanity; and if the mountains had suddenly turned over and balanced themselves on their peaks their gym- nastics would not have frozen him into a more speechless stupidity than did the Girl who rose before him just then, not twenty paces away. She had emerged like an apparition from behind a great boulder--a little old- er a little taller, a bit wilder than she had seemed to him in the picture, but with that same glorious. hair sweeping about her, and that same questioning look in her eyes as she stared at him. Her hands were In that same way at her side, too, as if she were on the point'of running away from him. He tried to speak. He believed afterward, that he even made an effort to hold out his arms. But he was powerless, And so they stdod there, twenty paces apart, star- ing as ¥f they had met from the ends of the earth. Something happeneh then to whip David's reason back into its place. He heard. a crunching--heavy, slow. From around the other end of the boulder came a huge bear. A mon- ster. Ten feet from the girl. The tirst ery rushed out of his throat. It was a warning, and in the same in- stant he raised his rifle to his shoul- der. The girl was quicker than he-- like an arrow, a flash, a whirlwind of burnished tresses, as she flew to the side of the great beast. 8he stood with her back against it, her two hands clutching its tawny hair, her | slim body quivering, her eyes flash- ing at David. He felt weak. He lowered his rifle and advanced a fow were most commonplace; his voice was quiet, with an assured and pro- tecting note in it. "My name is David Raine," he said. "] have come a great distance to find you. It was a simple and unemotional statement of fact, with nothing that was alarming in it, and yet the girl shrank closer against her bear. he | huge brute was standing without the movement of a muscle, Ris small red- dish eyes fixed on David, "I won't go back!" she said. "I'll-- fight!" Her voice was clear, direct, defiant. Her hands appeared from behind her, and her little fists .were clenched. With a gwift movement she tossed her hair back from about her face. Her eyes were blue, but dark as thunder clouds in their gathering fierceness. She 'was like a child, and yet a wo- man. A ferocious little person. Ready to fight. Ready to spring at him if he approached. Her eyes never left his face. "I won't go back!" she repeated. "I won't!" He was noticing other things about her. Her moccasins were in tatters. Her short skirt was torn. Her shining hair was in tangles. As she swept it back from her face he saw under her eyes the darkness of exhaustion; in her checks a wanness, which he did! not know just then was caused by | hunger, and by her struggle to get! away from something. On the back of one of her clenched hands was a deep, red scratch. The look in his face must have given the girl some Snkling of the truth. She leaned a ittle forward, quickly and eagerly, and demanded: y Be "Didn't you come from the Nest? Didn't they send you--after me ?" She pointed down the narrow val- ley, her lips parted as she waited for. his answer, her hair rioting over her breast again as she bent toward him. "I've come fifteen hundred miles-- from that direction." said David, swinging an arm toward the back- ward mountains. "I've never been in this country before. I don't know where the Nest is, or what it is. And I'm not going to take you back to it unless you want to go. If some one is coming after you and you're bound to fight, Fll help you. Will that bear bite 7" He swung off his pack and put down his Jn, For a moment the girl stared at him with widening eyes. The fear went out of them slowly. Her hand unclenched, and Suigenty she turned to the big griz- zly and clasped her bared arms about the shaggy monster's neck. "Tara, Tara, it isn't one of them!" she cried. "It isn't one of them--and we thought it was!" She whirled on David with a sud- Forget the price, when you examine a D& A Corset, think only of what you want -- see the Datta and workmanshipw.the style and Then ask the price and you will wonder how it can be sold so cheap, when other makes seemingly no better sell much dearer--you will buy the D & A.

"I've been . . . train- ing him," she added. "Tell me--why are you going to the Nest?" It was a point-blank, determined question, with a hint of suspicion in it; and her eyes, as she agked it, were the clearest, steadiest, bluest eyes he had ever looked into.
