(To Be Continued) (Copyright, 192, by Settle Star) There was only one great source of interference—and that was not from la source that concerned itself with the perpetuation of the deer-herds. It | was from a fellow murderer—a deer- | hunter who out-killed hin #ix to one. | found Landy Gibbs ahead of him in |the trail. The great cat was ever |heavy body in the brush, giimpsing |him as he waited by the deer-licks, And more than once, just as the long |tawny body lowered for the death- leap, the thunder-stick would roar in the brush beside and Pounce would be cheated of his prey. Many and many the time Landy took the trail of a fine, fat buck, only | to find a half-devoured carcass—and a round print in the earth. Many the time the pungent cougar - scent frightened into panic a little herd, all jof which might easily have fallen to | Landy’s rifle. It was a rare day now that Landy took threo hides, He did well to get one on the average—and the price of one hide hardly bought | food, much less strong drink. | ‘The thing got home to the man's | superstitions, It was as if Pounce were an evil spirit sent to plague him, @ mere-beast seeking revenge for the wound in his head, There seemed to be no conquering him by trap or polyon. Both he passed by, with dia- bolical cunning. Perhaps the man could have conquered with dogs—but for very good reasons Landy did not wish to go to the settlements and seek for dogs. Many times Pounce Jay beside a trail and saw Landy pass in eaxy range beside him—but always the nine-tenths coward that dwelt under the tawny skin held him from the leap, So it came about that these two deer-slayers continued to hunt each other—Pounce dogging the man's trail for hours with never the cour- age to attack, Landy tracking the cougar for weary miles only to love him at Jast In some mountain fast- news, Chatburn, of the state game bus reau, who knew the waya of beast and man, felt that there was somo curious reason benind the sudden finding his fresh spore, hearing his| own private system—not with dogs, as a white man hunted, but with heathen stealth and animal cunning. He would plan hix campaign as If he were a beast himself, going where he |thought a beast would likely go. Everywhere Pounce hunted he} “It shall be Long Tom,” said Chat- burn, In his little cabin on ono of the tributaries of Cow creek, Long Tom got the word that Chatburn desired him, and he waited just long enough to put on his hat. Then he strode | down to the settlements, “I'm going to give you a job, Tom,” Chatburn began, when they were to- gether in Anderson's office. “Mr. Anderson says you're out of work.” “Yes; me out of work,” Tom re- plied, nodding seriously. “Neod money heap bad.” This was quite true. All Long ‘Tom's white acquaintances knew that he was planning early marriage with a girl of the Klamath tribes, and young Indian husbands, as well as every other kind, need money to start on. The white man nodded, m, there's a great shortage of deer up in the Doe creek hills this year. Do you know what's the mat- ter? ‘Maybe cougar,” Tom told him; “maybe hide-hunter.” I think it's @ cougar; but there's a possibility that a skin-hunter is working up there.” He paused. “Of course, Landy Gibbs has never conte out where he went In—but we've all supposed he went thru to the Coast range and is a thousand miles away by now. Tom, the truth is that the cougars are just about wiping out the deer. There's one particular big brute. His track has beon seen a dozen times by hunters, and one chap who got a glimpse of him says he's got a white sear clear across the scalp. This big cat seems to have a heat right about the Doe creek hills, ‘Tom, I want you to go and get him, We'll pay you $15 a week to stay on the job and hunt him, and, of course, other varmints that you run across, Alvo, an extra bonus of $50 wiil bo paid you when you got this big devil—" cupful raisins cupful nut meats (or omit if too. expensive) Melt the shortening and stir into it the rolled oats, honey, or mo- lasses, corn syrup and beaten ogs.
