known accurately who had lived and
who had died
The Chippewans and half breeds
from the south began to arrive first,
with their teams Of mongrel ours pick
ed up along the borders Of civilization.
Close after them came the hunters
from the western barren lands, bring
ing with them loads of white fox and
caribou skins, and an army OF b1g-foot-
ed, long legged Mackenzie hounds that
pulled like horses and walled like
whipped puppies when the huskies and
Eskimo dogs set upon them. Packs OF
fierce Labrador dogs, never vanquish-
ed except by death, came from close
to Hudson's bay. Team after team of
little yellow and gray Eskimo dogs,
as quick with their fangs as were their
black and swift running masters with
their hands and feet, met the much lar.
ger and dark colored Malemutes from
the Athabasca. Enemies Of all these
packs of fierce huskies trailed In from
all sides, fighting, swapping and snarl-
ing, with the lust of killing deep born
in them from the wolf progenitors.
There was no cessation in the battle
Of the fangs. 1t began with the first
brute arrivals It continued from dawn
through the day and around the camp
fires at night. There. was never an
end to the strife between the dogs, and
between the men and the dogs. The
snow was trailed and stained with
blood and the scent Of it added greater
fierceness to the wolf breeds.
Half dozen battles we're fought to
the death each day and night. Those
that died were chiefly the south bred
ours = mixtures Of mastiff, Great Dane
and sheep dog and the fatally slow
Mackenzie hounds. About the post
rose the smoke of hundred camp
fires, and about these fires gathered
the women and the children Of the
hunters. When the snow was no
longer fit for sledging, Williams, the
factor, noted that there were many
who had not come, and the accounts
of these he later scratched out Of his
ledgers knowing that they were vic
tins of the plague.
At last came the night Of the Big
Carnival. For weeks and months wo-
men and children and men had been
looking forward to this. In scores OF
forest cabins, in smoke blackened to-
PEGS and even in the frozen homes Of
the little Eskimos, anticipation of this
wild night Of pleasure had given an
added zest to life. It was the Big Cir
Gus - the good time given twice each
year by the company to its people.

The Popularity Of the Box Coat.
Since the first showing Of fall and
winter fashions there has been much
discussion as to whether the regula-
ton tailored suit with normal waist
line, snugly fitted, would dominate; at
first 1t seemed as IT, it would, but
since then there has been decided
change toward the lOoser, belted mod
els. unbelted coats with half sug-
gestion of waistline, or stranger
still. no waist at all, return in short
to the box coat.
These box models are now very
smart indeed; they appear in tailor
made suits. separate coats and FUR
coats. Most Of the fur coats, IN fact,
show the box back, even If the front
Of the coat is belted.
The effect Of these untitled coats is
a bit more youthful than the fitted
lines which demand beauty and grace
OF figure. The French woman appre'
ciates the line that is most becoming
to her figure, and In most instances
this is the straight line.
Among the new frocks and SUITS
there are, too, boleros and Eltons that
are really quite charming. These also
are becoming to the average hgure.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Call.

Followed the days of teasting on the
frozen flesh of the old bull. In vain
Gray Wolf tried to lure Kazan off in
to the forests and the swamps. Day
by day the temperature rose. There
was hunting now. And Gray Wolf
wanted to be alone - with Kazan. But
with Kazan, as with most men, leader
ship and power reused new sensations.
And he was the leader of the dog pack,
as he had once been a leader among
the wolves. Not only Gray Wolf fol-
lowed at his flank now, but the four
huskies trailod behind him. Once more
he was experiencing that triumph and
strange thrill that he had almost for
gotten and only Gray Wolf, in that
eternal night of her blindness. felt
with dread foreboding the danger into
which his newly achieved czarship
might lead him.
! For three days and nights they re-
NAMED in the neighborhood of the
dead moose, ready to defend it against
others, and yet each day and each
night growing less vigilant in their
guard Then came the fourth night,
on which they killed young doe. Ka-
time, in the excitement OF having the
pack at his back, he left his blind
mate behind. When they came to the
kill he was the first to leap at Its soft
throat. And not until he had begun to
tear at the does flesh did the others
dare to eat He was master. He could
send them back with snarl. At the
glcam of his fangs they crouched quiv-
ering on their bellies In the snow.
| Kazan's blood was fomented with
brute exultation, and the excitement
and fascination that came in the pos
session of new power took the place
of Gray Wolf each day little more.
She came in half an hour after the
kill, and there was no longer the 1.-THE

her unseeing eyes, as if expecting each
moment his old signal to her = that
low threat note that had called to her
,, so often when they were alone in the
wilderness.
In Kazan, as leader of the pack
there was working curious change.
If his mates had been wolves it would
not have been difficult for Gray Wolf
to have lured him away. But Kazan
was among his own kind He was a
dog. And they were dogs. Fires that
had burned down and ceased to warm
him famed M in him anew In his life
with Gray Wolf one thing had Cypress
ed him as it could not Cypress her
and that thing was loneliness. Nature
had created him of that kind which
requires companionship - not of one
but many. 1t had given him birth that
he might listen to and obey the COM
mands of the voice of man. He had
grown to hate men, but Of the dogs -
his kind - he was part. He had
been a long time separated from the
life that had once been his and the
call of blood made him for time for
get. And only Gray Wolf. with that
wonderful super-instinct which nature
was giving her in place of her lost
sight, foresaw the end to which 1t was
leading him.
Each day the temperature continued
to rise until when the sun was warm
