chatter. A porcupine entered the open
ing and proceeded to advance in its
foolish fashion, still chatter.ng in thai
babyish way that has made it's life in
violable at the hands of men. Kazan
had heard that sound before, and like
all other beasts had learned to ignore
the presence of the innocuous creature
that made it. But just now he did not
stopsto consider that what he saw was
a porcupine and that at his first snarl
the good humored little creature would
wadtlle away as fast as it could, still
chattering baby talk to itself. His
first reasoning was that it was live
thing invading the home TO which Gray
Wolf and he had just returned. A day
later, or perhaps an hour later, he
would have driven It back with q
growl. Now he leaped upon it.
A wild chattering, intermingled with
piglike squeals and then rising STAG

he set off like all dogs will who have
come in contact with the friendly por
cupine, and raced again and agar
around the windfall, bowling at every
jump. Gray Wolf took the matter
coolly. It is possible that at times
there are moments of humor in the
lives of animals. If 80, she saw this
one. She scented the porcupine and
she knew that Kazan was full OF
quills. AS there was nothing to do and
nothing to fight she sat back on her
launches and waited, pricking up her
ears every time Kazan passed her In
his mad circuit around the windfall. AT
his fourth or fifth heat the porcupine
smoothed itself down little, and con.

1t happened that Kazan was to re-
member three things above all others.
He could never quite forget his old
days in the traces, though they were
growing more shadowy and indistinct
in his memory as the summers and the
winters passed. Like a dream there
came to him a memory of the time he
had gone down to civilization. Like
dreams were the visions that rose be-
fore him now and then Of the face Of
the First Woman - and of the faces CT
masters who to him had lived
ages ago. And never would he quite

A hundred yards away was the saw

aroma of the roasting caribou, and as
he crouched down. still with that VOL
fish caution that Gray Wolf had taught
him, men with long poles brought the
huge carcasses crashing down upon
the fires. In one great rush the horde
OF wild jewellers crowded in with barred
knives and a snarling mass Of dogs
closed in behind them. In another mo-
ment he had forgotten Gray Wolf, had
forgotten all that man and the wild
had taught him, and like gray streak
was across the open.
The dogs were surging back when
he reached them, with half dozen OF
the factors men flashing them in the
faces with long caribou gut whips. The
sting of the lash fell In a fierce cut
over an Eskimo dogs shoulder, and in
swapping at the lash his fangs struck

With shouts the men rushed In.
Again and again their whips cut like
knives through the air. Their blows
fell on Kazan, who was uppermost. and
as he felt the burning pain of the
scourging whips there flooded through
him all at once the fierce memory OF
the days of old the days of the Club
and the Lash. He snarled. Slowly he
loosened his hold of the Eskimo dog s
throat. And then, out of the melee of
dogs and men, there sprang another

Behind the club there was face - a

evaded the full weight of its blow and
his fangs cleaned like ivory knives. A
third time the club was raised, and
this time Kazan met 1t in mid air and
his teeth ripped the length of the
