A Couple of hours of silent travel' brought Werra to the ranger's cabin, and there he ordered a dismount. • • As the coffee was boiling he lectured them briefly. "You fellows are not entirely to blame," he remarked philo- sophically. "You've been educated to think a game warden a joketand 'Un- cle Sam a long way oft But things have changed a bit. The law of the-, state has made me game. warden, and'. I'm going to show you how it works. It's my duty to see that you go down the road—and down you go!" Edwards, the guide, was plainly very uneasy, and made several at- tempts to reach Cavanagh's private ear and at last succeeded. "I've been fooled into this," he urged. "I was hard up and a stranger in the country, and this young fellow hired me to guide him across the range. I didn't shoot a thing. I swear I didn't. If you'll let ane off Inn hit the trail to •tthe west and never look. back. Don't take me down the road. Let me off!" "I can't do that," replied Cavanagh, but his tone was kiedlier, for he per- ceived that the old fellow was thin, hollow chested and poorly clad. "You knew you were breaking the laws, didon you?" This the culprit admitted. "But I was working for Sam Greggeand when Joe asked me fo go show him the trail didn't expect to get cinched for kill-. big game., 1 didn't -fire a shot—now that's the truth." "Nevertheless," retorted Ross, "you were packing the head, and I must &mit yen in the game." Edwads fell silent then, but -some- thing- in bis look deepened the ranger's pity.

"Hello, Joe!, What luck?" called Bal- lard. • "Our luck was a little too good—we- caught a garae warden," replied the young scapegrace.. - The ranger was chagrined to find the office of the justice closed for the day land, turning to his captives, said: "I'm hungry, and I've no doubt s you are. I'm going to take you into Mike Hal- sey's -saloon for supper, but remember you are my prisoners." In fifteen minutes the town was rum- bling with- the news. -Under Ballard's devilry ,all the latent hatred of the ranger and all the concealed opposition to the forest service came to the sur- face like the scum on a pot of broth. The saloons and eating houses boiled with indignaut protest. "What busi- ness is it of Ross Cavanagh's?" they demanded. "What call has he to In- terfere? He's not a game warden." "Yes, he is. All these rangers are game wardens," corrected another. "No, they're not. They have to be ommissioned by the governor." "Well, he's. been chmmissioned. He's arden all rigl2t." "I don't believe it.

Yes, he's been known to disappear before when there was some real work to be done;" Lee went back to her own task with a •vague sense of alarm. "Certainly they will not dare to interfere with an officer in the discharge of his duties," She thought. Sbe was eager to see him, and the thought that he might be obliged to ride away to Chauvenet without a word to her gave her a deep- er feeling of annoyance. and unrest. That he was in any real- danger she could not believe.

It was confeasedly one of themvorst com- munities • In the state. . "Let's run Cavanagh!" was the sug- gestion of several of Gregg's friends. • The fact that the ranger was a,corn- missioned officer, of the law and that the ram's head had been found on the poacher's -pack made very little dif- ference to these irresponsible insti- gators to assault. - It was wonderful how highly that loafing young reseal, Joe Gregg, was prized at the moment. "It's an outrage that the son Of a lead- ing citizen should be held up in this way by one of the forestry Cossacks," declared one of the merchants. The discussion which took place over the bars of the town was at the .riot heat by 9 o'clock, and soon after 10 a crowd of howling, whooping bad boys and disreputable ranch hands were parading the walks, breathing out yile threats against the ranger. Accustomed to men of this type, Cav- anagh watched them come and go at Efalsey's bar with calculating eyes. "Thereewill be no trouble for an hour or two, but ineaawhile what is to be done? Higley is notto be found, and - the Own marshal is also 'out Of town.'" To Halsey he said: "I ant acting, as you know, .under both fed - &a1 and state authority, and I call upon you as a lawabidieg citizen to aid me in holding these men prisoners. I shall camp right here till morning or until the magistrate or the marshal relieves me of my 'culprits."' Halsey was himself a sportsman—a genuine lover of hunting and a fairly consistent upholder of the game laws; ,but, perceiving that the ,whole town nhad apparently lined up in opposition to the ranger, he lost courage. His consent was half hea'atecl, and he edg- ed away toward the front window of his barroom, nervously seeking to be neutral—"to carry water on both shoul- ders," as the phrase gees. The talk grew least jocular as the drinks took effect, and Neill Ballard, separating himself from the crowd, came forward, calling loudly: "One out o' there, Joe! Come eat .and have a drink!" His words conveyed less of battle than his tone. He was,In fact, urging a revolt, end Cavanagh knew it. . Gregg rose as if to comply. The •ranger stopped him. "Keep your seat," said be, and to Ballard he warningly remarked, "And you keep away from my prisoners." "Do you own this Saloon?" retorted the fellow truculently. "I reckon Hal- sey's customers have some rights. What are you doing here, anyway? This is no jail." • "Halsey has given me the privilege of holding My poisoners here till the justice is found. It isn't my fault that - the town' is without Judge or jail." ' S. rt THE HURON EXPOSITOR enema e- Wee -Weakened by Vie knb-ertedg that Halsey had only half consented t aid justice, but his pride, WRS roused, and he was determined upon earryt his arrest to its legitimate end, "I'm going to see that these meneitre pun Ished If I have to carry them to.

Here was the first real note of war, anddRoss cried out sharply, "if a wan lifts .a hand toward the light cut It off!", There 'was a stealthy truivement in the crowd, and, leaping upon the counter, a `-reckless cub reached for the lamp.

Gregg, who seemed quite detached 1 ' from the action and rather delighted with it, replied: "I have no influence. They don't care a hang about me. They -have it in foryou, that's all." 1\Edwards remained silent, with his hat drawn low over his eyes, It waST evident that he was anxious to av6id being seen and quite wilting to keep out of the conflict; but, with no hand - tiffs and the back door of the saloon guarded, Ross was aware that his uard must be incessant and alertly igilant.

He slouched along with shuffling step, his head bent and his face pale, Ross was now profoundly sorry for him. so ut- terly craven and broken was his leok. As Ross brought his two prisoners to the Wetherford House. Lee was waiting on the porch of the hotel. tense with excitement, straining her ears and eyes to see what was taking place. .The night bad started with a small sickle of moon, but this had dropped below the range, leaving the street dark save where the lights from the windows of the an night eating houses and saloons lay out upon the walk, and while she stood peering out the sound of rancorous howling and shrill whooping came to her ears with such suggestion of ferocity that, she shiv- ered. A few of the hotel guests had gone to bed, but the women were up, ex- cited and nervous, starting at every fresh outburst of whooping, knowing that their sons or husbands were out In the street "to see the fun" and that they might meet trouble. At last Lee discerned her mother re- turning fnom Halsey's, followed by three men. Withdrawing from the lit- tle porch whereon she had been stand- ing, she re-entered the house to meet heti mother in the hall. • "Where -is Mr, Cavanagh?" she asked. "r4ut in the dirstfig room.

Her utter inability either to control her mother's action or to.influ- eeae that of the ,mob added t�. her _nneaainess. ..The singing, Shouting, *trampling of the crowd went on, and once a group of men halted just outside her win- dow, and she heard Neill 13allard noisily, drunkenly arguing as to the most effective method of taking the prisoners. "Come on, boils!" said Ballard, his voicei tilled wit reckless determina- tion. "Let's run -him." As they passed •the girl sprang up and Went to her mother's room to warn her of the threatened attack. Lize was already awake and calmly loading a' second revolver by the light of the electric bulb. A jarring blew was heard, "Hear that? They're breaking in!" said Lize. She started to leave the room. Lee stopped her. "Where are yore going?" - "To help Ross. Here!" She thrust the handle of a smaller weapon into Lee's hand. "Ed Wetherford's girl ought to be abletotake care of her- self. Come on!" With a most unheroic horror be- numbing her limbs, Lee followed her mother through the hall. The sound of shouts and. the trampling of feet could. be heard, and she came out into the restaurant junt In time to photo- graph upon her brain a scene whose significance was at once apparent.
