fought like a hend, and there was the
strength and the ferceness of two mates
in the mad gnashng OF Gray Wolfs
fangs. Two of the wolves rushed in, and
Kazan heard the terrific back breaking
thud of the rifle. To him IL was the CLUB.
He wanted to reach IL. He wanted to
reach the man who held It, and he freed
himself from the lighting mass of the
dogs and sprang to the sledge For the
first time he saw that there was some
thing human on the sledge, and In an In
stant he was upon II. He buried his jaws
deep. They sank in something soft and
hairy, and he opened them for another
lunge. And then he heard the voice! 1t
was her voicel Every muscle in his body
stood still. He became suddenly like flesh
turned to lifeess stone.
Her voicel The bear rug was thrown
back and what had been hidden under It
he saw clearly now In the light OF the
moon and the stars. In him Instinct
worked more swiftly than human brain
could have given birth TO reason. It was
not she. But the voice was the same,
and the white girlish face so close to his
own blood-reddened eyes held In 1t that
same mystery that he had learned to
love. And he saw now that which she
was clutching to her breast, and there
came from 1t a strange, thrilling cry
and he knew that here on the sledge he
had found not enmlty and death, but that
from which he had been driven away in
the other world beyond the ridge
In n flash he turned. He snapped at
Gray VOLTS flank, and she dropped away
with startled yelp.
1t had all happened in n moment but
the man was almost down. Ka2an leaped
under his dubbed rifle and drove into
the face of what was left of the pack.
His fangs cut like knives. IL he had

what was happening. For In Gray Wolf
there was now the instinct of matehood,
and seeing Kazan tearing and fighting
the pack she Joined him in the struggle
which she could not understand.
When It was over, Ka2an and Gray
Wolf were alone out on the plain. The
pack had skunk away into the night, and
the same moon and stars that had given
to Kazan the first knowledge of his birth
right told him now that no longer would
those wild brothers of the plains respond
to his call when he howled into the sky.
He was hurt And Gray Wolf was hurt,
but no so badly as Kazan. He was torn
and bleeding one of his legs was ter
ribly bitten. After n time he saw fire
in the edge of the forest. The old call
was strong upon him. He wanted to
crawl in to it, and feel the girls hand
on his head, as he had felt that other
hand in the world beyond the ridge. lie
would have gone-and would have urged
Gray Wolf to go with hlm-but the man
was there. He whined, and Gray Wolf
thrust her warm mu2zle against his neck.
Kazan could not go far. He could still
smell tho camp when he lay down. Gray
Wolf snuggled close to him. Gently she
soothed with her soft tongue Kazan's s
bleeding wounds. And Kazan lifting his
head, whned softly to tho stars.

loose in thin red streams OF fire In his
veins. and when at last he saw n moving

the cry that came out of his throat was
