Two weeks of iengthening days, Of In

rapidly. Out of the earth began to
spring tips OF green. The bakneesh vine
glistened redder each day, the poplar
buds began to split, and in the sunniest
spots between the rocks of the ridges the
little white snow-f1owers began to give
final proof that spring had come. For
the first OF those two weeks Gray Wolf
hunted frequently with Razan. They did
not go far. The swamp was alive with
small game and each day or night they
killed fresh meat After the first week
Gray Wolf hunted less. Then came the
soft and balmy night glorious in the
radiance Of full spring moon, when she

not urge her. Instinct made him UNDER

windfall that night In his hunt. When he
returned he brought a rabbit.

CHAPTER XVII
HIS SON

TT happened that Kazan was to re-
i member three things above all others.
He could never quite forget his old days
In the traces, though they were grow
ing more shadowy and indlstinct In his
memory as the summers and the winters
passed. Like a dream there came TO him
n memory of the time he had gone down
to Civilization. Like dreams were the WIS.,
ions that rose before him now and then
of the face of the First Woman, and of
the faces of masters who-to him-had
lived ages ago. And never would he
quite forget the Fire, and his fights with
man and beast. and his long chases In
the moonlight. But two things were
always with him as II they h; been but
yesterday. rising clear and unforgetable
above all others, like two stars in the
North that never lost their brilliance.
One was Woman. The other was the
terrible fight OF that night on the top
of the Sun Rock, when the lynx had
blinded forever his wild mate, Gray Wolf.
Certain events remain lndelibly fixed in
the minds of men; and so, In n not very
different way. they remain in the minds
of beasts. 1t takes neither brain nor
reason to measure the depths of sorrow
or of happiness. And Kazan in his un-
reasoning way knew that contentment
and peace. n fun stomach, and caresses
and kind words instead of blows had come
to him through Woman, and that COM
radeship in the wilderness-falth. loyalty

factors men lasfing them in the faces
with long caribou-gut whips. The sting
of lash fell in fierce cut over an Es-
kimo dogs shoulder. and In snappins at
the lash his fengs struck Kazan's rump.
With lightning swiftness Kazan returned
the cut, and in an instant the Jaws OF
the dogs had met. In another instant
they were down and Razan had the Es-
kimo dog by the throat
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 scourEing
whips there flooded through him all at
once the fierce memory OF the days of
od-the days OF the club and the lash,
lie snarled. Slowly he loosened his hold
of the Eskimo dogs throat. And then,
out of the melee Of dogs and men, there
sprang another man-with a clubl 1t
fell on Kazans back and the force of It
sent him fiat into the snow. II was raised
again. Behind the club there was face
"A brutal. fire-reddened face. 1t was
such a face that had driven Kazan into
the wild. and as the club fell again he
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 It in mldair and his
teeth ripped the length OF the mans fore
arm
Good GodV' shrieked the man In pain,
and Kazan caught the CLEAN of a rifle
barrel as he sped toward the forest. A
shot followed. Something like red-hot
coal ran the length of Kazan's hip. and
deep In the forest he stopped to lick at
the burning furrow where the bullet had
gone Just deep enough to take the skin
and hair from his flesh.
Gray Wolf was still waiting under the
balsam shrub when Kazan returned to
her. Joyously she sprang forth to meet
him. Once more the man had sent back
the old Kazan to her. He muEzled her
neck and face. and stood for few mo-
ments with his head resting across her
back. listening to the distant sound.
Then, with ears laid fiat. he set out
straight in the north and west.
And now Gray Wolf ran shoulder to
shoulder with him like the Gray Wolf Of
the days before the dog-pack came: for
that wonderful thing that lay beyond tho
realm of reason told her that once moro
she was comrade and mate. and that
their trail that night was leading to their
old home under the windfall.

Miss Vests Charges
Attacked by Fair Sex

Charges that women are mental
parasites and work in half-heart-
ed way, when not compelled by cir
cumstances to do otherwise are
strongly criticised by leaders and
workers of the feminine world.
Admission is made that women's
love of dress is due to and for the
purpose of obtaining mans admira-
ton. But that this denotes mental
inefficiency is strongly resented.
Working women are daily proving
more and more successful in va
ried fields of enterprise and have
developed initiative which has car
ried them to the front, asserts
Miss O'Donnell, a Paris buyer for
a store.
Mrs. Imogen Oakley says Miss
Vests charges are unfair and that
if any difference exists between the
present mental capabilities of men
and women it is due to their he
reditary training in the past.
Woman is the mental equal of man,
she declares.
