Linda’s lip curled ocomtully. “I mouldnotputitjustlikothatl lean Mo father's answer ft you did. I’m mumbouogood letting mammzmdmnoxm" “Yes. Last autumn father put on a couple of wardens to look after the game, and they have been there all .winter. From their reports they have got on quite well with the squatters, and now suddenly, for no reason that they can guess, one of them, William Worke by name, has been fired upon in his camp.” “Killed?” I asked. “No, but badly wounded. He said he was sure the bullet could have been put into his heart just as easily, but it was sent through his knee by way of a notice to quit, he thinks.” “Well. father went into the matter, and he found that the squatters had a good deal to be said for their side of the case, so that he did what he thought was fair by them. He paid them good high, prices for their rights. or what they considered to be their rights, for in law, of course, they pos- sessed none. Every one seemed pleased and satisfied. and we were looking for- ward to going there this spring for the fishing when news came that one of fa- ther’s game wardens had been shot at.” “Shot at?” Linda nodded the Greek head I ad- mired so much. “It would be,” I commented. I could without eflort imagine Julius Fischer’s views on compensation. for 1 had met him in business. “He knew that. They are squatters â€"trappers who have squatted among those woods and hills for generations. Of course they think the country be- longs to them. Pop knew that. and in his opinion the compensation Julius Fischer offered and gave them was in- adequate.” “0h. It was Just one of pop’s no- tions. I suppose.” said Linda, with the rather weary tolerance or the modern daughter. “But Fischer had trouble from the day he went up to shoot at Kalmacks. He had to run for it. so I was told. Didn’t your father know that? Why did Mr. Peterst have anything to do with the place?” “That is it. It‘s a place you’d loveâ€" lots of good rooms and standing way back on a mountain slope. with miles of view and a stream tumbling past the very door. Father bought it last year and. with ital] the sporting rights Julius Fischer claimed. The woods are full of moose. and there are beaver and otter, and that’s where the trouble “Kalmacks? I know it is the place Julius Fischer built up in the moun- tains. He used to go shooting and fishing there.” “I? I persuade him? You don‘t need me for thatâ€"you. who can make him do or not do anything, just as you wish!” “I thought I could. but I find I can‘t." “How is that?" “Well, he is set on going back to Kalmacks." ”James."1“'want you £6 do this for me. I want you to persuade pop not to do something.” “They are a dangerous lot round We went out and loaded our hag- gage upon the‘ waiting huckhoards. One of these was driven by a small, eallow faced man. who turned out to be the second game warden, Puttick. Mr. Petersham asked how Bill Worke. the wounded man. was 91’0- messing: “He’d coming along pretty tidy. Mr. Peteraham. but he'll carry a at!!! leg With him all his life.” “I’m sorry to: that.

Linda looked at me. “Good for the old mossbackl” said 1. Her lips bent into a sudden smile. “You must be Mr. November Joe. I have heard so much 0: you from Mr. Quarltch.” “It don’t generally stop here at all. but they flagged her because they’re expecting passengers. Can I help you any, miss?" "It’s very kind of you." At this moment I appeared from the car. “Hello. Joel” said I. “How are things?" e“All right. Mr. Quaritch. There’s two slick buckboards with a pair of horses to each waiting and a wagon- etie fit for the king 0’ Russia. The road between this and the mountains is flooded by beaver working in a back- water ’bout ten miles out. They say we can drive through all right. Miss Petersham needn’t fear getting too wet." - “0h. can you tell me how many min utes this train stops here?" Before I could answer she had jump- ed lightly to the platform and, turning to Joe with a childlike expression in her blue eyes, said: I mean the woodsman, Why. he’s coming this way. I must speak to him." “How many men in sight answer my description?” she retorted. “Of course man!" “Which one?” I asked innocently as I Caught sight of November’s tall fig- ure awaiting us.

We will be quite a strong party. and he hopes to discover who is threatening him. By the way. didn’t I hear from Sir An- drew McLerrick that you had been in the woods all these last falls with a wonderful guide who could read trails like Guess. the last of the Delawares. or one or those old trappers one reads of in li‘enixnore Cooper’s novels?” “That’s true.” “What is his name?” “November J 0e.” “November Joe." she repeated. “I visualize him at once.

The light of the sun was fading when there occurred the one in- cident of our journey. It was not of real importance. but I think it made an impression on all of us. The road along which we were driving came suddenly out into an open space, and here in front of a shack of the rough- est description a man was engaged in cutting logs. As we passed he glanced hp at us. and his face was like that of some medieval prisonerâ€"a tangle of wild heard. a mass of grayish hair and among it all a pair of eyes which seemed to glare forth hatred. There was something ominous about the wolfish face. CHAPTER XIV. Men of the Mountains. 0 the afternoon passed away, and as it became late we entered great tracts of gloomy pine woods. A wind which had risen with the evening moaned through their tops and flung the dark waters of innumerable little lakes against their moss bordered shores. “Many of the others are bald.” said she. “His hair would furnish a dozen or them!” When we stopped near a patch of pine trees to partake of an impromptu lunch it was his quick hands that pre- pared the campfire and his skilled a: that fashioned the rude but comforta- ble seam. It was he also who disap- peared tor a moment to return with three half pound trout that he had taken by some swift process of his own from the brook. of which we only heard the murmur.

He said them. as usual. in a voice which not only emphasized the facts at exactly the right places. but also lent an air of subtle compliment to the eloquence of the narrator.
