SPECTATOR . 7 VVell, you see, I have a pretty good life to live: my wife is the finest little woman in the country, and I've a good home to live in with five dandy kiddies running around. I started on a little journey for moose and got caught in the blizzard night before last and lost all my food in a fall. I tried to reach camp, but failed, and this morning I struck your trail. It looked fresh and so I thought maybe I'd reach your camp before night. And here I am. Well, that is good work! It's not every time that hard grit and pull come, out on top. But that little home reminds me-I've a pretty nice little wife and boy and home myself! Alloy pulled a picture from his inside pocket and handed it across the fire. Ever watching him sat the man across the way. He carried two big revolvers-one on each side-and kept a hand close to either of them. Once, as he was looking at the picture which David had given him, he glanced at his host thru the corner of his eye and then whispered to himself, It sure is Red! Look at that beard and hair! That's Red to a T. I'll wait awhile before I put the cuffs on him. That is a peach of a gun you have on the left there. David interrupted the man's thinking and then added, May I see it? The man passed it over reluct- antly, though David was unaware of the hesitancy. He examined the gun closely and discovered the name Red engraved on the handle. Like a flash it occurred to Alloy that the man across the fire was the one he sought. May- be he had trailed this man, who, in turn, had discovered his motive and had come back to turn the trick on him. He would keep a close watch! He laid the gun down and then asked for the other one. The man shot his hand down quickly to his other gun and at the movement, David's hand slipped around his own forty-eight. Both men hesitated and raised their eyes: then David's hand withdrew and the man passed over his other gun. You see, I carry this little one along

6 SPECTATOR QA Case of Identity' J. Milton Murdock, '17 'Noticel S5000 Reward for Capture of Red Sturdyl' Hello! that sure is some amount! Thus spoke David Alloy, red-headed, six feet two inches of human brawn. Alloy had left his Wife and come to Alaska recently to try his luck in God's Country. However, his efforts had been unsuccessful so far, and he had just about made up his mind to leave the country, when he noticed the large poster nailed to a tree. After reading it again, he went quickly into his hut and fitted himself for a long journey. In an amazingly short time he came out, pack in hand, took a last look at his rough shelter, and started merrily up the trail, muttering, I'll get that money-or-. ll' Ik Pl' 4' ik Ik Ik He was gone a week before he succeeded in finding a sign of the fugitive, Red Sturdy. Then he found a trail in the mountains and one evening, after following this trail all day, he was stooping over his fire frying fish, when a crunching of the snow attracted his at- tention. He turned slowly around. Instinctively his hand went up to his gun. A man staggered out of the bushes, looked around furtively, and then crouched by the fire. Can't you give a fellow something to eat? the stranger asked, as he noticed Alloy. I'm just about all in! These last words aroused David to action and soon his guest was eating dry bread and salmon ravenously and gulping down hot coffee with such rapidity that David feared the consequences. Well, that sure was good! It's pretty lucky I happened on your fresh trail. I guess I would have starv- ed if I had to go thru another night without grub. It is lucky! A fellow doesn't come across luck like that very often--but, tell me something about your- self, and Alloy sat down beside the fire.

s sPEc'rA1'oR for safety, he said, as he pulled a little Colt automatic from his hip pocket. David handed the two revolvers back to their owner and asked quietly what the stranger thought of the picture of his wife. She's a pretty nice looking little lady, replied the man, but what do you think of this one? He handed a picture over to David. Q David looked at it and sighed to himself, It's a pity that a good-looking woman like that should be neg- lected by a thief. I wonder if he ever thinks of going back to his home? Then to the red-headed guest across the fire, Why do you roam about so much, when you could go home and live so happily? I am out for meat! You'll know some day that meat is necessary in these wild sections of the coun- try- he broke OE awkwardly, then added, Why not go to bed now? And with that, he picked up the two revolvers and threw them into the tent. Then, standing up, he pulled the Colt from his pocket and threw it in with the others. David, too, threw off his guns and soon both men were fast asleep. Alloy was dreaming how he would wake in the morning and take the outlaw by surprise. The outlaw was dreaming how he would rise at an early hour and take his host by surprise. Thus they slept thru the night-undisturbed by the howling of the wolves and screeching of the Wildcats. ll' Bk lk lk lk bk Ik At the first glow of daylight, David rose quietly and went for his guns. He looked for the Colt first. It was not there! Then for the two big guns. They were not there! He picked up his own weapons and crept slowly over to the blanket of the slumbering man. He reach- ed down quietly and grabbed the blanket-but the man was not there! In his place lay a large piece of bark with a few lines written on it. He stooped in astonishment and read aloud:
