'AGE FOUR. A I Saturday Evening, December 23,1922. THE SKYLINE (Continued From Our Lnat Issue) He fought like the wolf that was his blood brother--lunging, striking down, recoiling out of harm's way, and springing forward to strike again. Tht old i i a i and a of battle flashed through him as he- swunjr his axe, sending horn blow after blow. He danced about the' shaggy, hleedlns form of the bear, escaping the smashing Mows of the bear with miraculous asrility.

But at last the grizzley lunged too far. Ben sprang aside, just in time. He aimed a terrific blow r.t the base of the skull. The silence descended quickl thereafter. The blots had gone straight home, and the last fliokei of waning life fled.

Ben stood waiting to see if another blow was needed. Then the axe fell from ihs hands. For a moment he stood as if dazed. But soon he remembered Fenris and unsteadily to his side. The wolf, however, was already recovering from the- He had been merely stunned.

His first work was to remove the skin of last night's invader--the huge grizzly that lay dead just outside the cavern opening. The hour was already past ten, hut Beatrice--worn out by the stress of the- nisht before--did not waken until she heard the crack of her pistol. She lay a while, resting, watching through the cavern opening Ben's efforts to prepare breakfast. Filling one of the two tin plates he stole i the cavern. Falling into his mood the girl pretended to be asleep.

"Wake up. Beatrice," he commanded, with pretended gruffness. "It's after and you've got to cook my b.eakfast." She stirred, pretending i i in opening her eyes. She opened her eyes to i him re- Kardlr.S her -with boyish glee. Then --as a surprise-- he the fll'ed plate.

But one i she missed the familiar sounds his fire-building. Presently she heard him mutter i and i as he moved some 'leixvj- object to the door of the cave.

He walked a her, and her eyes could not leave He bent soberly, and brushed her lips with his own. Lately Fenris had taken to wandering into the forest at night, and once his throat and jowls had been stained with blood. "It's getting too tame for you here, old boy.

isn't it?" Ben said to him one hushed, breathless night. "But wait just a little while more. It won't be tame then 'it was true: the i partv, if they had started at once, must be nearing their death valley by now. Matters reached a crisis between Fenris and himself one still, warm night in late July. "Go ahead if you like." Ben told "him.

"God knows it's your destiny." The wolf to understand. With a glad bark he sped away and almost instantly vanished i the gloom. But Fenris had not broken all ties ith the cave. The cha.in was too strong for that. Fenris had joined his fellows, to be sure: but still kept watch over the cave, CHAPTER XTV, The Poluoa Plot.

EATRICE had kept only an approximate track of the days; yet she knew that an attempt to resooe her must be almost at hand. The wolf had gone now to join his fellows. She was not aware of his almost nightly return. Perhaps the fact of his absence gave her in'lop- portunity to save her father from Ben's ambush. The thought was with her, and she was desperate one long, warm' afternoon as she searched for roots and berries in the forest.

And all al once her hand reached toward a lit tie vine of black berries, each with a green tuft at the end. As If by instinct, hardly aware the motion, she 'withdrew her hand She knew this vine. was the deadly nightshade, and a handful the'berrles spelt death. She smarted to look elsewhere. But presently she paused, arrested by an idea so engrosins and yet so terrible that her heart seemed to pause in her breast.

Her father's life was in imminent danger. Another day might find him stretched lifeless before her. Ben had not' hesitated to use every weapon in his power, she should not hesitate now. Eagerly her fingers plucked the black berries. In one of the tin cups Beatrice pressed the juice from the night obtaining perhaps a tablespoonful of black liauor.

To this she added considerable sugar. Then she concealed the cup in i cluster of vines, ready for the mo ment of need. Then she hastened up the ridge to meet Ben on his way to the cave. She waited a few minutes, then spying his form at the edge of the beaver meadow, she tripped down to meet him. She walked to the door of the cave, procuring a a of dried red-root leaves that she used for tea.

Through the cavern opening he saw her drop them into the bucket that served as their teapot. Then she came back for the oiled, cloth bag contained the last of their sugar. He began to eat his st-ak. All that he had told her concerning his war with 'her father recurred to her in one vivid flash. Could it have been that he had told the truth --that her father and his followers had been the attackers in the beginning? But even as these thoughts came to her, she had walked boldly to the ire and emptied the contents of the cup i i the boiling water in the teapot.

Then she took the pot off the fire and poured the hot contents into the cup that had just held the potion. She brought it steaming to Ben's side. "It's pretty strong. I'm afraid," ho told him. "The leaves weren't good, ant'.

I boiled them too antf. afraid you'll find It biter." "Ill drink it, if it's bitter as gall," "BEN--BEN-- DON'T DRINK IT! 1 SHE CRIED. HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL." he assured her. His a reached and seized the handle uf the cup. Then she seemed to writhe as in a convulsion.

voice rose in piercing scream. "Ben-- Ben-- don't dring it!" she cried. "God have mercy on my soul!" i She reached and knocked tho cup from his hand; and its black contents, like dark blood, stained the sandy floor of the cavern. "Never mind, Beatrice," man was saying, his deep, rough voice gentle as a woman's. "Don't cry-just forget all about it.

Let's go over to your hammock and rest awhile." "But you don't understand-- you don't know--what I -tried to do-Vl Ills rugged face lighted as he smiled, kindly and tolerantly. But her solemn voice arrested him. "Wait, Ben. I want you to know you won't trust me again, The cup--was poisoned." The man looked at her, in infinite compassion, then came and sat beside her in the hammock. Rather quietly he took one of her hands.

Then Ve pressed It to his lips. "You'd kiss my hand--after what I did?" "After what didn't do," he corrected. They would need fuel i to keep the fire bright tonight. Evidently rain was Impending-- one of those cold, steady Downpours that are disliked so cordially. He went a full hundred yards bfore he found a tree to his liking.

It was a tough spruce of medium he-'ght and just at tha edge of the stream. He laid his rifle down, leaning it a fellen log; then began his work. His blows struck true from habit. Now the tree was half-seveted; it ivas to cut on the opposite side. Suddenly'his axe crashed into yielding, rotten -wood.
