Office -Back of Do- minion Bank, Seaforth. Phone No. 5. Night calls answered from residence, (victoria Street, Seaforth. (Continued from last week) It was arduous work, frisking from one point of vantage to another, never knowing when the Great Enemy might turn. They could make death speak. from the distance of half a mile, un- der shelter of the;• hills • they might even double back to close range; they might be luring him by the pretense that he was unseen, In such maneuvers the mare was a dangerous encumbrance, for though she had fallen into the•s'pirit of the thing at once and never uttered even the faintest whinny yet it would be easier for the men to hear and see two than to detect one. Alcatraz strove to drive her back, sometimes whirling with teeth bared and rush- ing at her, sometimes half -rearing as though to strike. But on such oc- casions she merely stopped and re- garded him with eyes of mild amaze- ment. She knew perfectly that he would never touch her with tooth or hoof; she also knew that this was dangerous folly -this badgering of terrible man, but since Alcatraz was notwise enough to follow Tier she must even follow him in spite of his folly. She stayed half a dozen lengths in the rear, trembling with exciternent, for now they passed the verge of the desert -and now they entered a man-. made'road bordered with shining fences of men; what retreat was there if men closed in from the front and the rear? Yet she went on with dainty and uneasy steps. As for Alcatraz, he had pressed up boldly, close to the riders, for now the twilight grew thick and it was hard to make out the glim- mering forms before him. Twice he paused; twice he went on. There was no real purpose in this following. He dared not come too close, and yet he' hoped to harm them. He continued, wrung by a confusion of dreads and desires. He was beset with signs of man even in the darkness. Over the well - watered fields of the ranch he heard the lowing of cattle and now and a- gain the chorus of the sheep in a nearby pasture land was re -awakened when the bell of the leader tinkled. They were all hateful sound to Al- catraz, and every step he made seem- ed to consign him the more definitely to the power of the Great Enemy. In spite of his boldness he lost sight of the riders among the deeper sha- dows of the ranch buildings, and he stopped again to consider. The grey mare came beside him and begged him back with a call softer than a whisper, but he merely raised his head the higher and stared at the huge outlines of the sheds and barns. To Alcatraz every one of them was a fortress filled with danger that might leap up at him. Yet he must not turn back after having come all this distance, surely. He went on. The road opened into an unfenced semi- circle with corrals on every side and from one of these enclosures a horse neighed, and there was a brief sound of many trampling feet. Some of his own kind were playing there; Alca- traz forgot his hatred a little, forgot man. He went straight to the corral and put his bead over the top bar.

He was one of their kind, so they came close; the scent of the wilderness was already on him, and they shrank away. Sure- iy some sinister genius had directed Alcatraz to the one most valuable point of attack on all the ranch, for these were the six brood mares for whose purchase Marianne Jordan had cleaned out her bank account. The stallion did not know, of course. He. did not even recognize them as his competitors in' the race. All he felt was that there was something charm- ingly remembered, something half familiar about them. The boldest came near and he touched noses, whereat she whirled with a Iittle squeal and lashed out at him; but her heels were carefully aimed wide of the mark and Alcatraz merely tossed his nose; plainly she was a flirt. He pressed a little closer to the fence and urged friendliness with a conver- sational whinny. They were not a- verse coming towards him with eyes that glimmered in the darkness,, re- treating often and coming on again, until he had touched noses with them all. It was extremely pleasant to Alcatraz and hardly less so because the grey mare came and shouldered him rudely. - Then a voice spoke from the barn which ,opened off the corral: `"What's all that damned nonsense with the mares yonder?" Alcatraz crouched for flight." An- other voice answered: "They'll mill around every night for a while till they get used to the new place. That's the way with them crazy hot -bloods. No boss -sense." ! The voices departed. The shrink- ing of the stallion had . made the mares wince away in turn, but they came back now and resumed the con- versation where it had been broken off. He was careful to introduce himself to each one. He was greatly tempted to jump. the fence and talk to them at closer hand but he knew that it was great folly to risk his neck in a group of mares before he had made out whether or not they were antiable... If they were cross -tempered he might be kicked to death before he could es- cape. The investigations brought entirely favorable returns. They were very young, these Coles horses, and hence their curiosity was far stronger than their timidity. Before long every one of the six necks was stretched across the top -rail and when Alcatraz turn- ed his back on them they whinnied uneasily to call him back. If that were the case, why did they not jump? He went back and showed them how simple it was if they really wanted to escape and come out with him into the wind and under the free stars of the mountains. Such a fence was nothing to that powerful jumper. He walked calmly to it. rear- ed, and sailed over. That sent the mares scampering wildly, here and there about the corral, and though they came back again after a time, they seemed to have Iearned nothing. When he jumped out again not one of them followed. Alcatraz stood off and eyed them in disgust. When he was a yearling, he felt, he had known more than those big,• stupid, beautiful creatures. But plainly they wanted to get out with him. A wild horse is to the tame what the adventurous traveller is to the quiet man -who builds a home, and from the grey, mare and Alcatraz the six were learning many things. The scent of the open desert was on them, the sweat of hard running had dried on their hides, their heads were reck- lessly proud; and •this tall stallion jumped the fences as though there had never been men who made laws which well-trained horses must not transgress. Plainly he wanted them to come out. They were very willing to go for a romp, but they knew nothing about jumping, as yet, and all they could do was toshow their eagerness to be out for a run by mill- ing up and down the fence. If that were the case, there were other ways of opening corrals and Al- catraz knew them all. He tried the fence with his shoulder, leaning all his weight. More than once he had smashed time -rotted fences in this manner, but he found that these posts were new and ,well tamped and the boards were strongly nailed. He gave up that effort and went about looking for a gate. Gates were not hard to find. A gate is that part of a fence under which many tracks and many scents go; it is also a section which swings a little and rattles annoyingly in a wind. Upon the top board of that section there is sure to be thick, scent of man where his hands have fallen. Alcatraz found the gate. Under the weight of his shoulder it creaked but did not give. He took the top rail in his teeth, while the mares stood back, wondering, in a high -headed semi -circle and the grey kept nudging at his flank, saying very plainly: "Enough of this nonsense. These gangling creatures, all legs and fool- ishness, are not of our kind, 0 my master. Let us he gone!" But Al- catraz heeded her not. He shopk th gate back and forth.
