Gently passed the civil service ex-
animation, standing third in the
markings of fourteen candidates,
and as the law allows the Secretary
to make his selection from among
the three standing highest on the
list of those examined Secretary
Frear was quick to appoint him
for his chief clerk. There had been
a great deal Of controversary over
the question. Frear first asked the
civil service commission to exempt
the chief clerkship from the rule re-
curing an examination. The COM
mission refused to accede to this
request and bill was introduced
in the Legislature to exempt the po-
sition from the rule. This bill had
not been acted upon when Nagler
took the examination. We do not
blame Mr.. Frear for wishing to be
free to appoint clerk. The Sec
rotary is responsible for the work
of his department and it should be
left to him to select assistants
whom he knows TO be competent
and who will work with him in a
spirit of friendliness.

In the night he lay by his FIRE he sometimes
felt that the wolf not far off. But the greater

vivid moments he wondered vaguely why he was

have been his last long sleep.

Then he tortered onward and by noon had
again overtaken the big wolf They were getting
back now toward the settlement as they had re
turned IN a much more direct course than they had
gone. Several times kashawamp was tempted To
ire but his Indian nature withheld him. He hoped
now to goad the brute to desperation in close quar-
tiers, and at very close range to kill him TO a Ger

in his life and heart.
Mcclellan had, three different days, skrted the
northern border of the settlement, IN hope of carry

his final hunt Toward evening he animal
on a ridge to the northward, and he quickly took
up a position to leeward, looked to his rifle. and

the first. The foremost he made out to be a big,
dark colored wolf, that staggered along in de--lr

was useless and the other not much better. The
thing behind he could not name; but an idea

a thrill through his body that he never before exc

They crept and stumbled forward. 1t took hall
an hour for them to cover the ridge. Then the rear
figure came into better view, and Mcclellan realized
the full significance of his former surmIse- Just
then the big wolf turned and bristled up defa1-l-
at his pursuer. Nearer, and still nearer, came

Ahead You have found many obscure trails
before Remember the vow!
And he obeyed, though he knew that not much
beyond three DAYS without food could his old S1newS
hold to the trail. By noon he had completed big
circle and finding signs of his quarry he struggled
off again on a smaller, inside circle. At about mid
afternoon, he topped the crest OF small
ridge he beheld an object below him. 1t was
plainly the blue wolf, curled up at the edge OF
little swae.
\ thrill passed through the weakened frame of
the old Indian. Once more he felt himself the
hunter After examining the prmlng OF his rifle he
stole steathv forward keeping himself we'll hidden
from view. But the wolf had his eve on the back
trail Soon he rose decrepitly, cast look full of
malice and hatred toward his pursuer, and then
shrunk into the shrubbery.
Thus the third day away, with kashawamp
struggling doggedy onward. The sight OF his
quarry had given him renewed muscle. Once again
he saw him The big wolf was evidently wearing
out He lmped heavily, and 1t plain that in
the terrible game OF purSuer and pursued II was
simply question OF which one could endure the
longer.
That terrible night seemed longer than the three
preceding days. To the figure at the fire, sleep was
impossible. An intense craving amounting to
frenzy had possessed him. Food food was natures
awful demand Eat ne The cold made him
drowsv and weak; but when for a moment he dozcd
from sheer exhaustion the gnawlng pangs grpped
like huge talons al his stomach and strange and
horrible sounds rang IN his ears.
Morning brought no change. In an endeavor TO
appeSe ms ravcnous pangs ne gathered some cones
and swallowed the tiakv seeds He ChcWcd willow
and poplar buds, though they were bittercr than
gall. and he gnawcd the bark OF the hazel shrubs.
TWO acorns discovered IN stump were more
precious than gold nuggets. Then. there was
nothing better for him do, he struck off savagely
once more
The trail now led him through the intricacies of a
tainarick swamp. and he often staggered among the
wiudialls and fell only 10 rise and tumble onward.
By and by he came TO some partrdges. and one
more stupid than his comrades stood rigid on q log
and watched the great two legged creature that
houndercd about IN the snow.
Kashawamp cut long. heavy sapling poised it
over his head and then stcadyIng himself for
last effort he struck. Fortune favored the stroke,
and the next moment the famIshcd wretch was in
the snow sucking the warm blood from the neck of
the luckless bird. Half OF IL WAS eaten raw. The
remainder he saved for future need, He could not
delay the feast longer than 70 pluck OFF a few
feathers Then he

Pect Of food. kashawamp decoyed them close
To him, and made vicious stroke with a willow.
But they too quick for him, and retired out
of reach to vent their impotent wrath in catcalls
and bird profanity.
Soon he took up the trail again, and by noon had
traversed the swamp. From here the wolf had en-
tered upon a large flat timbered with heavy
growth OF forbidding, dark spruces The silence
and gloom beneath the great giants weighed heavily
upon the stocism of the Indian. 1t seemed a
suitable abode of evil ghosts and death shadows:
and he trudged stealthily through the gades fear
full of swapping twig to break in upon the uncannv
bush and darkness of the day time. Several pair of
broad bladed anters protruded here and there
through the snow, and kashawamp felt that there
others about.
Back and forth through the big eXpanse OF shadow
went the pursuer and the pursued Here evidently
in his fancied stronghold the big wolf thought TO
make his last stand; for darkness came on and he
was still within its borders
Long ere Kashawamp built his fire and crouched
beside 1t for the weary night the pangs of hunger
seemed again devouring his vitalS. 1t would be
better, he knew to sleep now and eat in the morn
