into pieces. am determined to kill him.
Step little aside, m 'sieu, while l put
bullet through his head!'
He raised his rife again. David put
hand on it.
II can unleash him." he said.
Before the other could speak he had
walked boldly to the tree, unfastened the
chain around the trunk of the spruce, and
stood with the loose end of the chain in
his hand.
aThere!"
He laughed little proudly.
"And l didn't use a club" he added.
Thoreau gasped "Mon Dieu!" and sat
down on the birch log.
David ratified the chain and then re-
fastened it about the spruce.
In David's breast there was the thrill
of new triumph. He had done some
thing that Thoreau had not dared to do,
and he had done it unconsciously, with
out fear. In those few minutes something
of his old self had returned into him; he
felt new excitement pumping the blood
through his heart. He went to Thoreau,
who had risen from the log. He laughed
again, bit exultantly.
IL am going north with Father Roland, !"
he said. "Will you let me have the dog,
Thoreau? 1t will save you the trouble of
killing him."
Thoreau stared at him blankly for
moment before he answered:
@That dog? You? Into the north?"
@Yes. 1t is an adventure should very
much like to try. You may think it
strange, Thoreau, but that dog-ugly and
ha &c, hoc
me. like him. And I fancy he has be-
gun to like me-"
"But look at his eye, msieu-"
(which eye?" demanded David. @The
one you have shut with a club?"
"He deserved it," muttered Thoreau.
"He snapped at my hand. But-yes, you
may have the beast, and may the saints
preserve you!'
"And his name?"
"The Indian who owned him as apuppy
five years ago called him Baree, which
among the Dog Ribs means Wild Blood.
He should have been called the Devil"
Thoreau shrugged his shoulders and
turned in the direction of the cabin.
MUCH to Thoreau's amazement, Father
Roland made no objection to David's
ownership of Baree; and when the French
man described what had happened be-
tween that devil-dog and the man he was
still more puzzled by the look of salts
faction in the little missioner's face.
@It's glorious day." he remarked care
lessly to David. ave start right after din
ner. Let us get your things in bundle"
David made no answer, but three
minutes later he was on his knees un-
locking his trunk, with Father Roland
standing close beside him. Something of
the humor of the situation possessed him
as he flung out, one by one, the various
articles of his worthless apparel. Father
Roland was staring into the trunk, an
expression of surprise in his countenance,
which slowly changed to one of eager JOY.
He made sudden dive, and stood back
with a pair of boxing-gloves in his hands.
David reached into the trunk and pro-
duced second pair.
"Dear heaven, what gift from the
gods!" he chortled. david, you will
teach me to use them?" There was al
most anxiety in his manner as he added:

why it was necessary to keep the sledge-
dogs "hard as rocks" and how the trick
was done. He was still talking, with the
fingers of one hand closed about the little
plush box in his pocket, when they came
to the first of the fox-pens.
He was watching David closely, little
anxiously-thrilled by the touch of that
box. He read men as he read books,
feeling intuitively emotions not visible in
a face, and he believed that in David
there were strange and conflicting forces
struggling now for mastery. 1t was not
in the surrender of the box that he had
felt David's triumph, but in the volun-
tary sacrifice of what that box contained.
He wanted to rid himself of the picture,
and quickly. He was filled with appre-
hension lest David should weaken and
ask for its return.
AS Thoreau tossed three fish over the
high wire netting of the first pen, explain
ing to David why there were two female
foxes and one male in each of his nine
pens, and why warm houses partly COW
cred with earth were necessary for their
comfort and health, while the sledge-
dogs required nothing more than bed
of snow, Father Roland dropped back
toward the cabin, calling in Cree to Mu-
koki. Five seconds after the cabin con-
cealed him from David, he had the plush
box out of his pocket; another five, and
he had opened it and the locket itself was
in his hand. And then, his breath COM
ing quickly between his teeth, he was
looking upon the face of the woman.
Again in Cree he spoke to Mukoki, ask
ing him for his knife The Indian drew
while Father Roland accomplished his
work of destruction. The missioner's
teeth were set tight. There was strange
CLEAN of fire in his eyes. An unspoken
malediction rose out of his soul. The
work was done!
He wanted to hurl the yellow trinket,
shaped so sacrilegiously in the image of
a heart, as far as he could fling it into the
forest. 1t seemed to burn his fingers.
But it was for Marie. Marie would prize
it, and Marie would purify it. Against
her breast, where beat heart Of his be-
loved northland, it would cease to be a
polluted thing. This was his thought as
he replaced it in the casket and retraced
his steps to the fox-pens.
Thoreau was tossing fish into the last
pen when Father Roland came up. David
was not with him. In answer to the mis-
sioner's inquiry, he nodded toward the
forest.
"He said that he would walk little
distance into the timber
Father Roland muttered something
that Thoreau did not catch, and then, a
sudden illumination lighting up his eyes:
81 am going to leave you to-day"
To-day, mon pere" Thoreau made
muffled exclamation of astonishment.
"To-day? And it is fairly we'll along
toward noon!"
"He can not travel far" The missioner
nodded in the direction of the unthinned
timber. at will give us four hours, be-
tween noon and dark. He is soft. You
understand? We will make as far as the
old trapping shack you abandoned two
winters ago over on Moose Creek. 1t is
only eight miles, but it will be bit of
for him."
The fox-breeder picked up the empty
gunny-sack.

and keen-edged hunting-knife. Then he
turned to the snowshoes. They were the
long, narrow bush-country shoes. He
placed them side by side on the snow, and
showed David how to fasten his moe
casined feet in them without using his
hands. For three quarters of an hour
after that, out in the soft, deep snow at
the edge of the spruce, he gave him his
first lesson in that slow, swinging, out
stepping stride of the northman on the
trail.
When he slipped off the shoes, and
stood them up beside his rifle against the
cabin, he was painting. His heart was
balsam-scented air like suction-pu.np.
"Winded," he gasped. And then, gulp-
ing for breath as he looked at Father
Roland, he demanded: "How am I
going to keep up with you fellows on
the trail? I'll go bust inside of a milel'
"And every time you go bust Wen load
you on the sledge," comforted the mis-
sioner, his round face glowing with en-
thusiastic approval. you've done finely,
David. Within fortnight you'll be
travelling twenty miles day."
Father Roland meditated in some per-
plexity when it came to the final question
of Baree.
ave can't put him in with the team,"
he protested. "All my dogs would be
dead before we reached Gods Lake"
David had been thinking of that.
"He will follow me" he said confidently.
well simply turn him loose when we're
ready to start"
The missioner nodded indulgently.
Thoreau, who had overheard, shrugged
his shoulders contemptuously. He hated
Baree, the beast that would not yield to
club, and he muttered gruffly:
sand tonight he will join the wolves,
m'sieu, and prey on my traps. There
will be only one cure for that: fox
bait-poison!"
And the last hour seemed to prove that
what Thoreau had said was true. After
dinner the three of them went to Baree,
and David unfastened the chain from the
big husky's collar. For few moments the
dog did not seem to sense his freedom;
then, like a shot,-so Unexpectedly that
he almost took David off his feet,-he
disappeared in the forest.
Not until the crack of Mukoki's long
caribou-gut whip had set the missioners
eight dogs tense and alert in their traces
did Father Roland return for moment
into the cabin to give Marie the locket.
He came back quickly, and at signal
from him Mukoki wound up the nine-foot
lash of his whip and set out ahead of the
dogs.
Thoreau's voice rolled after them in a
last farewell. Then the forest swallowed
them-a vast white, engulfng world OF
silence and mystery. What did it hold
for him? What did it portend? David's
blood was stirred by an unfamiliar and
subdued excitement. An almost uncon-
scious movement carried one of his nit
tened hands to his breast pocket. Through
the thickness of his coat he could feel it
the picture. 1t did not seem like dead
thing: it beat with life. 1t made him
strangely unafraid of what might be
ahead of him.
N spite of the portentous significance Of
this day in his life, David could not
help seeing and feeling in his suddenly
changed environment, as he puffed along

dogs and as he lay crouched there against
half uplifted lips, he looked like great
wolf. Every muscle in his body seemed
gathered in tense readiness to spring,
and his cleaning fangs threatened. He
was ferocious, and yet shrinking; ready
to leap, and yet afraid.
And then David noticed that he had
but one good eye. 1t was bloodshot, bale
fully alert, and fixed on him like round
ball of fire. The lids had closed over his
other eye; they were swollen; there was
a big lump just over where the eye should
have been. Then he saw that the beasts
lips were cut and bleeding. There was
blood on the snow. And suddenly the big
brute uncovered his fangs to give rack
ing cough, and fresh blood drooled out of
his mouth on the snow between his fore
paws. One of these fore paws was
twisted; it had been broken.
"You poor devil!" said David aloud.
He sat down on birch log and looked
steadily into the big husky's one blood
shot eye as he said again:
"You poor devil!"
Then he added, dark indignation in his
voice:
what has Thoreau been doing to
you?"
There was something sickening in the
pectacle-that battered, bleeding, broken
creature huddling there against the tree.
Loving dogs, David was not afraid of
them, and, forgetting Father Roland's
warning, he rose from the log and went
nearer. From where he stood, looking
down, Baree could have reached his throat.
But he made no movement, unless it was
that his thickly haired body was trembling
little. His one red eye looked steadily
up at David. This man had no club
Baree was used to clubs-and he looked
friendly.
nAVID would have bent over; but a
cry stopped him so sharply and sud-
denly that he jumped back.
Thoreau stood within ten feet of him,
Mortified. He clutched rifle in one hand.
"Back-back-m 'sieu!" he cried sharp
ly. "For the love of God, jump back!"
He swung his rife into the crook of his
arm. David did not move, and from
Thoreau he looked down coolly at the
dog. Baree was changed beast. His
one eye was fastened upon the fox
breeder. His barred, bleeding lips re-
vealed inch-long fangs between which
there came now low and menacing snarl.
Slowly Thoreau raised his rife; David
heard the click of the hammer-and
Baree heard it. His lips fell over his
fangs, he whined, and then, on his belly,
he dragged himself slowly toward David
1t was miracle that Thoreau the
Frenchman looked upon then. He would
have staked his very soul that what he
saw could never have happened between
Baree and man. In utter amazement, he
lowered his gun. David, looking down,
was smiling into that one wide-open,
bloodshot eye of Baree's, his hand reach
ing out. Foot by foot, Baree skunk to
him on his belly; and when at last he was
at David's feet, he faced Thoreau again,
his terrible teeth snarling, low, rumbling
growl in his throat. David reached down
and touched him, and at the caress a
great shudder passed through the dogs
body.
Baree had found man-friend!
When David stepped away from him

IN spite of the portentous significance Of
= this day in his life, David could not
help seeing and feeling in his suddenly
changed environment, as he puffed along
behind Father Roland, something that
was neither adventure nor romance, but
humor. All his life he had lived in great
city. He had disliked winter; he had
always felt a physical antipathy for
snow. Yet here he was headed straight
for the North Pole-the Arctic Ocean.
1t was enough to make him want to laugh.
Enough to make any sane person
laugh. Even now, only half mile from
Thoreau's cabin, his knees were be-
ginning to ache and his ankles were
growing heavy. 1t was ridiculous. He
was soft. He was only half man. How
long would he last? How long before
he would have to cry quits, like whipped
boy? How long before Father Roland,

3. Winn returned last night from
Detroit where they attended meet
ing Of the superintendent of the
National Educational association. an
organization composed of superin-
tendents from all parts of the nation.
This proved one OF the largest edu-
cetional meetings that is held in the
United States. and there is not a
lprger association in the world with
tie possible exception OF the English
association. The first meeting OF
ito body was held on Tuesday
evening of last week. There were
some very excellent discussions,
among which was a talk by DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
University.
Mr.. Ely reports that there were
about fifty Texas superintendent
in attendance upon the meeting and
that it could not help but prove
very interesting session to ali. The
Texas party left on Thursday even
ing, but not before they had heard
addresses by Governor Ferris or
Michigan and Governor Brumbaugh
of Pennsylvania Mr.. Ely reports
the state and County Superinten-
dents section of the meeting ? very
Interesting one. One of the best
discussions in this section was by
lady superintendent from the
mountain districts of Tennessee.
She told of keeping the teachers in
institute for three weeks to teach
them how TO teach the children.
she also told of the wonderful pro-
grcss made there in school buildings.
The Texas delegation travelled in
special car out of Dallas and on
thursday evening enjoyed 4 dinner
At Hotel fuller. There were fifty
present. which is perhaps the best
showing Texas has made at meet
ing of this association in some time.
The next meeting will be held at
Kansas City aud Il special effort
will be made 20 bring the meeting

In comparison OF the school build
ing seen along the road with those
OF Ellis county Mr. Ely said he was
very we'll pleased to find that Ellis
county does not suffer. Not great
many of the buildings were better
tran those of this county.
While in Detroit they enjoyed q
very fine side trip to Mt. Clement
