steps and lay down in tho pine thicket until nehemiah had gone but ne hemiah had found hi three different places indications that trout pools in abol had been dynamited had nehemiah seen tho big broad figure with the mop of yellow hair he would not have believed so readily that jed mackey was responsible for tho nefarious deeds of which he had found unmistakable algna and he might have been more

reputation of his valor in tho faraway town of sedgmore and of the monumental triumph that forty years before had crowned hfa entry into sedgmore with the notorious jake bingham jn his clutches he peeped over tho tops of the birches at the kneeling stranger and determination steeled his heart laylnghe shotgun on the ground nehemiah cast on crept with infinite caution round tho clump of birches and crouched like nn old gray cat at the very moment when the strangers fin gers closed round the colossal trout nehemiah sprang- suddenly forward and rushed oh the stranger with all his might and main nehemlahs bony right fist thumped on the strangers back aa with a startled yell tho stranger plunged off tho rock into the deep codd pool the clutching lingers of nehemlahs left hand caught his flying heel with an agility remark able in so old a man nehomlah grasped tho strangers feet one in each hand and soused him in-tho- icy waters of tho abol the stranger bellowed und writhed and twisted

obliged to read hla books back wards or from- the middle to the end yet they were thankful living such a rough life his dress was necessarily peculiar ho went barefooted and often wore a coffee sack for a cloak he always carried a bundle of cooking utensils and part of the time wore hln mushpan for a hat at others times ho wore a card board hat with a wide brim but no weapon of any description
