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 large fiat, tmbered with a heavy
growth of forbidding, dark spruces. The silence
and gloom beneath the great giants weighed heavily
even on the stoicism of the Indian. 1t seemed
suitable abode of evil ghosts and death shadows
and he trudged stealthly through the glades, fear
full of swapping twig to break in upon the uncanny
bush and darkness of the day time. Several pair of
broad bladed antlers protruded here and there
through the snow, and Kashawamp felt that there

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 and he
still within it's borders.
Long ere Kashawamp built his fire and crouched
beside it 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
ing; but it cost him mighty effort to comply. A
dozen times during the unnatural darkness of that
dreadful night he started from his tful slumber of

in sight of each other. All too well Kashawamp
knew that should he drop on the trail his bones
would line the stomach of the ravenous beast
ahead
In the night as he lay by his fire he sometimes
felt that the wolf was not far off, But the greater
part of the time his memory was blank, and in his
vivid moments he wondered vaguely why he
there. One of his feet fell in the fire during his
drowsngs The pain and the smell of the burning
moccasn reused him from what otherwise would
have been his last long Sleep
In the morning he went on. His mind was
clearer again, but he was very, very weak. He
gazed at the surrounding woods looked at the
sun, prayed again for aid and then said,
This day Kashawamp will make his last trail.
Great Spirit help me- that Bright Eyes shall be
avenged!'
Then he tottered onward, and by noon had
again overtaken the big wolf. They were getting
back now toward the settlement, as they had re-.
turned in much more direct course than they had
gone. Several times Kashawamp tempted to
fire. 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
tainty. Hour after hour the famine scourged crea-
ture dragged his blasted body little farther, and
after him came his feeble pursuer, now resting
bracing himself with his rifle against sapling,

told of his terrible journey. The long chase was
over; here the end of the trail
At first Mcclellan thought that the withered old
hulk before him was dead. Many dead
looked more like live one But little spark
of that life, which had held so tenaciously to
his fra body, yet remained and the sturdy
Scot kept it afame till he got him back to the set

care, the latter shook his head doubtfully and
muttered something about the patient being in

Kashawamp stayed just long enough, after he
got WE'LL to share the celebration at Dad McTavishs,
in which the beautiful skin of the Blue Wolf figured
as highly acceptable wedding present. Then the
old Indian left for the West to spend his remaining
days with his relatives. He would hunt more,
for his mission was fulfilled. He had seen the end

than any other previous morning to straighten up
for the tramp. He did not seem able to lift his
snow shoes as before and several times he stumbled.
For an hour after sunrise he traversed the heavy
woods; then the trail led him out to the more open
country again. and straight away to the southwark.
Filled with new vim at the change, the pursuer
struggled forward
All the day the track led directly toward the
settlement, and Kashawamp, in his hazy mind,
guessed the cause: the Blue Wolf starving, too.
With what strength remained in his wasted Grip
pied body, he was trying to return to fulfil the one
ravenous demand of his whole being, the insstent
and terrible craving for food.
Of that night Kashawamp remembered little.
He camped somewhere. He shivered, dozed and
suffered alternately and the morning found him
struggling mechanically onward Sometimes he
vacantly wondered where he was and why he was
trailing persistently. He wasn't hungry now,
but very weak His rifle felt very heavy his
shoes as lead, and when he rested his
weight upon one leg in crossing logs he felt that
it was likely to give way. About noon he saw his
quarry toiling ahead: The sight gave him renewed
vigor; and many times during the afternoon he
came up with the wolf; but never close enough
for a shot; for his hand was unsteady, and
his eyes pulsating as though they going to
leave their sockets and he knew he could not shoot
true.
Once he came yery close The Blue Wolf
glared iercely back from a little knoll, not fifty
yards away. In vain the old Indian tried to

And he obeyed, though he knew that not much
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 swale.
the old Indian. Once more he felt himself the
hunter After examining the printing of his rifle, he
stole stealthy forward keeping himself well hidden
from view. But the wolf had his eye on the back
trail. Soon he decrepity, cast look full of
malice and hatred toward his pursuer, and then
shrunk into the shrubbery
Thus the third day wore away, with Kashawamp
struggling doggedy onward. The sight of his
quarry had given him renewed muscle. Once again
he saw him. The big wolf evidently wearing
out He limped heavily, and it was plain. that in
the terrible game OF purSuer and pursued 1T 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 he must. The cold made him
drowSy and weak but when for moment he dozed
from sheer exhaustion the gnawing pangs gripped
like huge ta1ons at his stomach and strange and
horrible sounds rang in his ears
Morning brought no change. In endeavor to
appease his ravenous pangs he gathered some cones

Two acorns discovered in a stump were more

more.
The trail now led him through the ntricacies of
tamarack swamp; and he often staggered among the
windfals and fell, only to rise and tumble onward
By and by he came to some cartridges, and one
more stupid than his comrades stood rigid on log
and watched the great two legged creature that
houndered about in the snow.
Kashawamp cut long, heavy sapling poised it
over his head, and then steadying himself for one
last effort he struck. Fortune favored the stroke
and the next moment the famished wretch was in
the sucking the warm blood from the neck of
the luckless bird. Half of it was eaten raw The
remainder he saved for future need. He could not
delay the feast longer than to pluck off few

but always forward, with one desire and purpose
in his life and heart.
Mcclellan had three different days, skirted the
northern border of the settlement hope of carry

big wolf. A week had gone by, and he was taking
his final hunt. Toward evening he an animal

up position to leeward, looked to his rifle, and
waited. Soon he discovered another object behind

dark coored wolf, that staggered along in desper-

thing behind, he could not name; but idea,
possibility of something, crept upon him, and sent
a thrill through his body that he never before
They crept and stumbled forward. 1t took half
an hour for them to cover the ridge. Then the
figure came into better view and Mcclellan realized
the full significance of his former surmise. Just
then the big wolf turned and bristled up dehantly
at his pursuer. Nearer, and still nearer came
the faltering Indian His shoes in

snow, braced himself with them, and took AIM
Mcclellan held his breath in expectation of the
puff of smoke and report; but it did not come;
and the wolf foundered ahead and stopped

impatient Scot lone fifty he continued ad-
justing his sights Il guess he's mine yet, if that
old redskin doesn't hustle. Here's for the Blue
Wolff and he raised his rifle.
Just then he remembered the trail, week
old now, striking northward with an old man
in pursuit Here he was before him. and at
the thought of the thing he about to do he
felt worse than common robber. Down came
his rifle.
The spoils of the victor surely his he said
''but it looks as if I'll have double load to take
