After another test of the wind, he went ahead alone, silent as a lysx.. Lock was with him. As he rounaea tne pena n saw the im mense antlers bf an-old bull moose rise above the willows on the bank. Before .the startled beast could plunge Into the water Garth dropped him with a bullet through the brain. At the crash "of the shot three moose cows with calves broke cover beyond the bull.
