The slim man said he was hungry and
that was all that was said.
The next morning is was still showing.
Ihe middle aged man stood up and found
that the snow was above his belt. or little

back. The other trembled and crossed

asked II they had brought anything to eat

two men glared at each other across the

''Click, click!" they heard distinctly. and

middle-aged man. and his voice sounded
SO strange and awful that the slim man

With their hands the two men made
groove in the snow, a few feet from the
beaten place where they had slept, and
laid the old man to rest. The slim man
watched them with a strange wild light
in hts small blue eyes, as one dog might
watch another bury a bone.

Sometimes they would fall asleep, only to

The next morning only the middle-aged

burning with mountain fever. When the

Presently the slim man came out of the
snow cave, where they had buried the old
man the day before.
Now, for the first time in many days,
the slim man left the camp. leaving the
middle-aged man sorrowing silently over
the clay that had been his bosom friend.
When the slim man returned he fought
