On the veranda he strode up to thi group of sullen, armed men who regarded his advent in exprets!onle.s3 silence. Sid Hone was there, and Harvey Chase, and tho Hastings boys, and Cornelius Blommers. "You fellaa comln'?" inquired Clinch. 'Where?' drawled Sid Hone. "Me an' Hal Smith Is cal-kalatln' to drive Star Peak. It ain't deer, neither." There ensued a grim interval. Clinch's wintry smllo began to glimmer. "Boozo agents or gamo protector:-? Which?" aked Byron Hastings. "They both look like deer If a man gitn mad enough." Clinch' smilo bocame terrifying. "I shell out live hundred dollars for every deer that's d topped on Star Peak today," he said. "And I hope there won't be no accidents and no mlstnkin no stranger for a deer," he added, wagcing his great square head. "Them accidents Is liable to happen," remarked Hone, reflectively. After another pause: "Where's Jake Kloon?" Inquired Smith. Nobody seemed to know. "lie was here when Mike called me into tho bar," insisted Smith. "Where'd he go?" Then, of a sudden. Clinch recollected tho packet which ho had kicked urder a veranda chair. It wag no longer there. "Any o' you fellas aeen a package

"Nov you speak of It." said Byron Halting?, "tecrr.-i like I noticed Jake ard Earl Leverett down by the woods near the pond . I kinda disremembrcd when you. aaked. but I guts I seen them." Clinch to3ed his rifle across his left shoulder. "Hats an' deer," ho said pleasantly. "Them's tho articles we're lookin' for.
