Kazan didn't understand. But he
was happy at having the woman 50
near to him, and talking to him. AT
these times he forgot Gray Wolf. The
dog that was in him surged over
his uuarter-strain of wildness, and

his world. But after Joan had gone to
her bed, and all was quiet in the cab

rose to his feet and moved stealthily
about the cabin, smiling at the walls.

had done into packages. A low
whine rose in his throat. Joan, half
asleep, heard it, and murmured:
BE quiet, Kazan. Go to sleep-go
to sleep"
Long after that, Kazan stood rigid
in the center of the room, listening,
trembling. And family he heard, far
away, the wailing cry of Grav Wolf.
But tonight it was not the cy of
loneliness 1t sent a thrill through
him. He ran to the door, and whined,
but Joan was deep in slumber and
did not hear him. Once more he heard
the cry, and only once. Then the
night grew still. He crouched down

Joan found him there, still watch

in the early morning. She came to
open the door for him. and in a mo-

He came to the narrow winding
trail, and wormed his way up it
swiftly.
Gray Wolf was not at the top to
greet him. But he could smell her,
and the scent of that other thing was
strong in the air. His muscles tight
ened; his legs grew tense. Deep down
in his chest there began the low rum

was life. Something that lived and
breathed had invaded the home which
he and Gray Wolf had chosen. He
barred his long fangs, and snarl of
defiance drew back his lips. Stiff

his head and shoulders between the

they sat in the empty eating room, dis.

that seemed to shut them apart to-

aglow and her eyes like mysterious
pools in the shadow of her heavy hair.
That week there were several arri-
walls at Daily's camp-well-clad, re-
sponsible-looking business men from
Portland; and before they left, Sandry
had landed such an order for logs as
plunged the camp into the hardest
work, longest hours and highest over
time 1t had ever known.
Also he sent out word 70 Toledo that
he had use for all the men he could
lay hands on.
An extra crew Was put to building
the log trail uP through the slashed
opening to the East Belt, and activity
characterized the hills.

labors, the rumble and clatter of the
log train. began to be music in San

to his father became brighter, filed
with the exhilaration of accomplish
