MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1914. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. rAGE 3. ber 0V8HI The Detective of the Woods By HESKlTH PRIGHARD Copyright. 1913. By Heskcth Prichard 1 listened to No ember making this iis!.uilii:iir statement. nv.il I hoped I showed in surprise. What n earth was the game that he was playing? Hurry up. Iv.ys. and send f,-r the ! Hce or there mav ! trouble. Who's going?" "I don't mind if 1 go." offered Oris "I'll start right now. The snorcr we get Mr.-C!.ic safe in jail T lit- bettor." Wo all suv Chris off. and then the n on took ii hack into the bunk house, where they talked ri7'l argued for nn li-'tir. November ha I relapsed into his uu:i! taciturnity. Cut when at length he spoke again Iiis words n ioii like a bomb-hcil. "Say. boys." h- said, and the ea l'':i' f f Li-; :!T-iit vu very maiked. "it's about time v.e lt the boss out." Every Lead b.ked round in his !i r-ti-.'U. "Lit him out?" shouted a dozen volt's. "Before the police come?" "l; st so." replied November in his gentle manner. "Yn'.i set', it wn n't liiiu held yon up. boys." "Who was it ile-n:" November l up. "'"i!ii av.l I'M show you." Finally fi:r of us l..;ml-il the lis caiioo ar.d set off. I lost all sor.se of direction in the darkness until we came out on the banks of til." brook near Tides, .u bridge. We crossed, and sill four of us crouched in the shadow of a big rk l t twenty yi.rds fr..ni the hut. We had heen forewarned l.y Nowmber to keep very quh t at:d to waf-h the hut. The p.ale- f -relights of dawn v.-ere already in the air when I felt Novem ber more slightly, and a moment late: I heard a siict break, then footfalls on the bridge. A 1 ui.-li shadow came eautiou-ly down tie- hank, hesitating at every ste:. tut always a; -proa, bit.g the but. until at I.i-t it j'af.-ed within it. Then n mat-h flared inside. 1 saw it pass the hroken window. Then- nas a pause. Th" r .'-reakeJ faint ly and the Centre H"!o out again. I put out r.'y hands toward Novem berhe was g.n". Meantime the figure frm the hut was moving i:; the path to the road and a second figure was gaming ou hiv.i. I re'-ecnized No veu.her'.s niisrhtv or:tI:iies as he fo-'oved with arms out Mietehed. Then the arms fell, and there was p. . ry. aln-.-t a shriek. When we ran uy Novemher wn hold ing liris strurelatu' on the ground. "Search liiiu. hoys." said Novemher. "lie's p.t tle stuT on him." Thonipsoti's hiir hand dived int- the lireast of Chris" shirt and when it oiiffi" out apain it hold a hiindie cf liofes. "Von Kmart cuss!" said Chris to No vember ,Trve. A few l.usy hoai' followed, and it was the next .".Iteruoou hefore I found myself aain at November's shanty and a-l ed for iho explanations "which had been pro:nis"d n:e. "The mon:er.t I heard Thompson's storv." becan November, "it started tne thinking a bit.

OH eat in silence for some ten minutes after he hnd poi.e; then he rose and hean to lead awaj poutheast. "Evar.s 'ill hear Yal Clack's the owner of the pink necker at Layette village. It's an otter's to a musk rat's pelt tiiat then he'll head straiebt for Val's. We've pot to be there afore him." Tbe nftrrnoon was yet youue when we arrived at Vn! I'daek'a. Vnl was toot at hone. but -loe entered the hus aud searched It thoroughly. I askcu him what he was seekins. -Those skins of Sally's." Then you tbink Black" "I tbink nothing yet. And here's the ronn himself, anyway" He turned to tbe door as Yal Clack came swinging np tbe trail. lie was of middle height, strongly built, with , quick eyes and dark hair which, j though cropped close, still betrayed its I tendency to curl, fie greeted Nov em- j ber warmly. November was, I thought, j even more slow spoken than usual. "Yah" he said, after some ta'k. "hsvc you stiil got tbnt pink necker Sally knitted for youi" "Yes. I've cot her." J "Wlfere? I! "Iii-ht h here," nr.3 Black pulled the muClcr out of tiis pocket. Hah!" said .loe. There was a si'enep. rather a strain ed silence. tetween the two. Then November continued. "Where was you last night?" Ya! looked narrowly at Joe. Joe re turned his stare. "Say, November Joe, are you search ing for trouble?" asked I'iack In an ominously quiet voice. "Seems as if trouble wns searching for me." replied November. There was another silence Then Val Jerked out. "I call your hand." "I show it." said Joe. "Youre sus pected of rohbinz Sally's traps this month back. And you're suspected of entering Sally's house last evening and stealing pelts." With a shout of rage Yal made at Joe. November stood quite still under the grip of the other's furious hands. "You act innocent, don't you. you old coyottel" he grinned ironically. "1 never said I suspected you." Clack drew off. looking a little fool ish, but he Cared up again. "Who i it suspects me?" "Just Eva is. And he's got good evi dence. Where was you between 0 and 7 last night?" "In the woods. I come back and slop here." "Was you alone?" "Yes."" "Then you can't prove no alibi." Joe paused. It was at this moment that Evans, accompanied by two other forest ran gcrs. appeared upon the scene. Quick as lightning he covered Ciack with bis shotenn. "Up with your hands." he cried, "or I'll put this load of birdshot into your face." I'.iack scowled, but his hands went up. He stood pa.ntins At a sin one of the rnncers sidled up. and the click of haudeu.Ts followed. "What am I charged with';" cried Ciack. "Hobbery." 'You'll pay me for this. Sbuon Ev an:" "It won't be for awl.i'e not till they lot you out u'.ain." retorted the war den easily. "Take him oil up the trail. r.iii:" Tlie ranzers walked away with their prisoner, ai d Evans turned to Joe. "Cuoss 1 have the laugh of you, No vember." he said. "Looks that way. Where you takin him?" "To Lnvette. I've sent word to Mrs Hone to come there tomorrow. And now." continued Evans, "I'ru going to search Clack's shack." "What for?" "The stolen pelts." "Got a warrant';'' "I'm u warden don't need one." "You'd not search without It," said November, movimr in front of the door. "Who'll top me';' Evans' chin shot out docgod'y. "I inicht." said Joe la his rnost gen tle manner. "I'm iu the right, for it'3 agin the law, anl you know it, Mr Evans." Evuns hesitated- "Have it your way. but I'll be back with my warrant be fore sunup tomorrow, and I'm war den, and maybe you'll lind it's better to have me for a friend than" "Huh! Sr.y, Mr. Quaritch. have yon a tiil of that light baccy o' yours? 1 want soothiii'." As se en as Evans was out of sight. Joe beckoned me to a thick piece of scrub not far from the hut. Stay rii.ht here tiil I come back. Everything depends on that, he whis per ed. 1 lav down at my case In a sheltered spot, and then sue an- lso took the rond for Lnvette. Everything appeared tu be against Clack the cartridge which tilted his rilie, the? strands of the tell tale neckerchief, the man's own fu rious behavior, his manifest passion for Mrs. Cone, and the suggested nio live f r the thefts all these things jointed, conclusively it seemed to me. In one direction. And yet I knew that almost from the beginning of the in quiry November had decided that Clack was innocent. The evening turned raw. and the thin snow was softening, and though I was weary of my watch I was still dream ing when I started under a hand that touched my shoulder. Joe was crouch ing at my side. lie warned me to cau tion, but I could not refrain from a question as to where he had been. "Down to the store at Iivette." he whispered. "I was talking about that search warrant pretty hich handed I said it was, and the boys agreed to that." After awhile Joe touched me to wake fulness, and 1 saw something moving on the trail below us. A second or two of mo. n'ight gave me a glimpse of tbe approaching hgure of a man. a hump ed figure that moved swiftly. A whis tle. No answer. And its hand went to the late'i. 1 heard Joe sigh as be covered the man with his rifle. Then en-re bis voi'-Li jn p;S q-jjet tones. "Cues? the game's off. Sylvester ron't turn! Hands up!" The lean stood still as we came be hind L'.li. At a word he faced round. I saw the high check boi-.es and gloam ing eyes of an Indian. His savage face was contracted with animosity. "Now. Mr. Quaritch," said Novem- ! !or suggestively. j I tiatter myself I rcada a neat job of tying up our prisoner. J "Thank you. What's in that bundle , on his buck?" J opened it. Several skins dropped ' out. Joe examined them. "All got Sally's mark on." he said. "Say. Mr. : (Jus ritch. let me Introduce you to a pretty mean thief." I noticed that Joe took our prisoner along it a tood puce toward Lavette. ?rter hTnTTe or two. "however, "he asked me to go ahead and If 1 met with Mrs. Cone to make ber wait his arrival, but he added in an aside. "Tell her noth ing about Sylvester." 1 reached the village soon after dawn, but already the people were gathered at the store, where every one was discussing the case. As I heard nothing of Mrs. Rene, I set out toward her house. When I met her I noticed that her gentle face wore a changed expression. I deliv ered my message. "I'll never speak to November again as long as I liveT' she said with deep vindictiveness. "November's played double with me. I'll show him!" 1 walked beside her in silence, and jut before we came In sight of the houses we met with Joe alone. He had evidently, left Sylvester in safe custody. Joe glanced from Sally to me. I read understanding in his eyes. We've got him trapped safe. Sally. Not a hole for him to slip out by." Sally's rage broke from her eontroL "You're just too cute. November Joe." she blazed, "with your tracking and finding out things and putting Yal in jail! What do you say to It that I've been fooling you all the time? I never lost no pelts! I only said it to get the h.ugh against ye. Ye was beginning to believe ye could bear the muskrata sneezing!" "Is that so?" Inquired Joe gently. "Yes. and I'm going Into Lavette this ininute to tell them!"' Joe stepped in front of her. "Just as you like. Sally. Cut how'Il ye ex plain these?" He Cung open the bun dle of skin he carried. Mrs. Cone turned color. "Where dlJ ye tind them?" she gasped- "On his back." She hesitated a moment, then. "1 gave Yal that lot." she said carelessly. "That's queer, now," said Joe. "cos it was on Injin Sylvester 1 found them." Sallv stared at Joe, then laughed "Guess the game's off. Don't turn! Hands up!" suddenly, excitedly. "Ou. Joe. you're sure tbe cutest man ever made In this world.'" And with that she flung her arms round his neck and kissed him. "I'd best pass that on to Yal Black!" said Joe calmly. And Sally's blushes were prettier than you could believe. There is no need for me to tell bow Clack wa.s liberated from the bands of the crestfallen Evans, who was as nonplussed as I myself had been at the breakdown of the case, which up to the last moment had on the face of it seemed Indestructible. I have never looked forward to any explanation more than that which November gave to Mrs. Kone, Clack and myself tbe same evening. "It was the carcass of Eizpab give me the first start." said Joe. "As soon as I saw that I knew it weren't Yal." "Why?" asked Sally. "You remember it was hacked np? Now bore was the case ud to that: A thief bad robbed Sally, and all tbe sign he left behind was a few threads of his necker and an English made cartridge. Tbe thief goes out. and old Rir.pah attacks him. lie shoots ber. Then he cuts her body nigh to pieces. Why?" YVe all shook our heads. "Cecause be wants to get his bullet out of her. And why does he want to get his bullet? Only one possible rea son. Cecause it's different to the bul let ho dropped on purpose in tbe house." 'I'.v Jove!" I cried. "From that it all fits in It seems funny th?;t the thief should drop a cartridge, funnier still that he should not notice he'd left a bit of his necker stuck to the nails on the door. Still. I'd allow them two things infght hap pen. Cut when it came to his having more bits of his necker torn off by the spruces where Evans found them, it looked like as if the thief was a uagmy poor wooasman. nicu ue wasn't He hid his tracks good anl cunning. After that I guessed I was on tbe right scent, but 1 wasn't plumb sure till I come np to the place where he killed tbe partridge. While he was snaring it he rested his rifle ag'iu a tree. I saw the mark of tbe butt on the ground nml tbe scratch from tbe foresight upon the bark. Then 1 knew he didn't carry nj English riCe."

"Well. now. there was one more thing. Cesides that black fox. S :i!y here missed other marked pelts. They wasn't mKh value. Why did the thief take them? Again on'y one reason, fie wai ted 'em for making more faise evidence agin Yal." lie paused. "(Jo on, Joe." cried Mrs. Cone impatiently. "When Mr. Quaritch and I came to Val's shack we searched it- Nothing there. Why? Cos Yal had been home r.ll night and Sylvester couldn't get In without wakiu' him." "Cut." said L. "wasn't there a good case against Clack without that?" "Yes. there was a ease, but his con vtcti'on wasn't an absolute cinch. On the other hand. If the stolen skins was found hid in his shack That's wliy you bad to lie in tlmt brush so ioug. Mr. (juariteh, while 1 wer.t in to Lavette and spread it around that tbe shack hadn't been searched by Evans. Sylvester was at tbe store, nnd be fell into the trap right enough. We wait ed for him. and we got him." "O course." continued Joe. "revenge cn Yal weren't Sylvester's only game. He meant robbin" Sally, too. and had his plan Inid. He must V gone to Val's and stole a cartridge and the bits of necker before he robbed Sally's house. Last night he started out to leave a few cheap pelts at Val's, but he had the black fox skin separate in his pack with a bit o" tea and flour aud tobacco, so if we hadn't took him he'd have lit out iuto Maine an' sold the black fox pelt there." "Cut why should Sylvester have such a down ou Val?" Joe laughed. "Ask Yal!" "Ten years ago." said Yal, '"when we wa.s both rising twenty year, I gave Sylvester a thrashing he'd likely remember. He had a dog what weren't no use, and he decided to shoot it So be did. but he didn't kill it. He shot it far back and left it in the woods, and 1 come along" "Tbe brute!" exclaimed Sally. "lie's a dangerous Injin." said No vember, "and he's of a breed that uevcr forgets." "When he gets out of prison you'll have to keep awake. Joe." said Val. "When be gets out I'll have tbe snow in my hair ail right and you and Sally will be old married lolks." retorted Joe. "You'IJ sure be tired of each other by then." Sally looked at Val, and Joe caught the look. "Leastways." he added, "you'll pre tend you are botter'n you do now." We all laughed. (To Fe Continued.) Will Hold Bazaar December 12th.
