These thugs were announced as

The sun was just rising when they all

and Joan leading him. Joan turned and
| locked the cabin door, and Kazan heard
sob in her throat as they followed the
man down to the river.
The big canoe was packed and waiting
| Joan got in first, with the baby. Then,
| still holding the babiche thong, she drew
| Kazan UP close to her, so that he lay
with his weight against her.
The sun fell warmly on Kazan's back
as they showed off, and he closed his eyes,
and rested his head on Joan's lap. Her
| hand fell softly on his shoulder. He heard
| again that sound which the man could
not hear, the broken sob in her throat, as
| the canoe moved slowly down to the
| wooded point.
Joan waved her hand back at the cabin,
| Just disappearing behind the trees.
"Good-by." she cried, sadly. Good
| by" And then she buried her face close
down to Kazan and the baby, and sobbed.
The man rtopped padding.
You're not sorry-Joan2" he asked.
They were drifting past the point now,
and the scent of Gray Wolf came to Ka-
zan's nostris, rousing him. and bringing
a low whine from his throat

The point, with It's white finger OF sand,

/ standing rigid facing It. The man called
| to him, and Joan lifted her head. She.
| too saw the point. and suddenly the ba-
biche leash slipped from her fingers, and
| a strange light leaped into her blue eyes
! as she saw what stood at the end of that
white tip of sand. 1t was Gray Wolf
Her blind eyes were turned toward Kazan.
| At last Grey Wolf, the faithful, under

not see. Kazan and the man-smell were

"LookI' whispered Joan.
The man turned. Gray VOLTS forefeet
were in the water. And now. as the canoe
| drifted farther and farther away, she
| settled back on her launches. raised her
| head to the sum- hich she could not see,
and gave her last long wailing cry for

The canoe lurched. A tawny body shot

The man reached forward for his rifle.
] Joan's hand stopped him. Her face was
white.
Let him go back to her! Let him go

And Kazan, reaching the shore, shook
the water from his shaggy hair, and

ECONOMY PLAN SPOILED

Motorist Fails in Brilliant Plan to
Keep the Upkeep Down

After he had solved the problem which
has perpleXed owners and prospective
owners of motorcars-that Of keeping the
upkeep down-by building a garage of
tar paper In the front yard of his home,
Charles Wackes of 95l North 10th street,
has had his plans shattered by an edict
of the Department of Public Safety. He
has been ordered to take itldown.
Thousands of persons passing Wackes'
home have remarked his ingenuity. Hun
dreds who heretofore believed they could
not afford to keep n car because of the
high rate of storage saw in this impro-
vised garage n saving of many dollars.
They failed to consider the possibility
of interference from the police. They
also failed to consider what might be the
result should such building catch fire.
And last but not least they failed to con-
slider whether their neighbors might OBJ
ject to having their view of the surround
ing territory obliterated by such garage.
Members of the Tenth Street Presbyte-
rian Church. adjoining Wackes. began
to frown on his garage, and then the
neighbors began to talk about 1t. But
when the police saw it they didn't talk
or think. They just notified Wackes that
he would have to remove 1t.

Two little sophomores were shedding
misty tears as they walked uown the
long asphaltum or promenade at Swarth-
more today. They were feminine soph0~
mores, for the masculine second-year men
at Swarthmore do not weep.
The Quaker college was trying hard to
be green and pretty. even though 1t Is
the dead OF winter: but an air of gloom
pervaded bare tree and Creen-brown
stretches OF campus, For rumor said
that the war had parted two bosom
friends In the Friends community, That
was why the sky looked gray and why
pretty sophomores were crying.
"If it was just somebody else besides
Miss Bronx and Mrs. Newport | shouldn't t
mind 1t so much,' wept one Of them.
'I feel like I should take sides, but
can-n-n't" walled the -ther. Il love
them both"
And Dame Rumor laughed hard,
mIrthless laugh. She likes to see the
heartache she causes.
Rumor had carefully sread n report
that caused the college to gasp and buzz.
For 1t was said that DR.. Isabelle Bronx
head of the French department, and Or.
Clara Price Newport, acting head or the
German department, had renounced their
lifelong friendship for each other because
they could not agree on the war

tribe. wherever he struck the scent OF
the big gray cat he was turned into n
snarling demon. and his hatred grew
day by day, as he became msre COM
pletely a part of the wild.
He found that Gray Wolf was more
necessary to him now than she had ever
been since the day she had left the wolf
pack for him He was three quarters dog,
and the dog-paTt OF him demanded COM
panionship There was only Gray Wolf
to give him that now. They were alone.
Civilization was 400 miles south of them.
The nearest Hudson's Bay post was so
miles to the west. often, in the days of
the woman and the baby, Gray Wolf had
spent her nights alone out in the forest,
waiting and calling for Kazan. Now 1t
was Kazan who was lonely and uneasy
when he was away from her side.
In her blindness. Gray Wolf could no
longer hunt with her mate But gradu-
ally n new code of understanding grew up
between them, and through her blindness
they learned many things that they had
not known before.
by early summer Gray Wolf could
travel with Kazan, II he did not move
too swiftly. She ran at his flank, with
her shoulder or muzzle touching him,
and Kazan learned not TO leap, but to
trot Very quickly he found that he must
choose the easiest trails for Gray Wolfs
feet. When they came to a space to be
bridged by a leap, he would muzzle Gray
Wolf and whine, and she would stand
with ears alert-llstenlng. Then Kazan
would take the leap and she understood
the distance she had to cover. She al
ways overeaped, which was a good fault.
In another way. and one that was
destined to serve them many times in
the future, she became Of greater help
than ever to Kazan. Scent and hearing
entirely took the place of sight Each day
developed these senses more and more,
and at tho same time there developed be-
tween them the dumb language whereby
she could impress upon Kazan what she
had discovered by scent or sound. 1t be-
cumo n curious habit Of Kazans always
to look at Gray Wolf when they stopped
to listen, or to scent the air.
At this time there came from the Hud-
sons Bay post to the east n slim, dark
faced French halfbreed by the name of
Henri Lott the most famous lynx hunter
In all the Hudson's Bay country.

Rich and Poor
By FRANCIS ARCHIPELAGO,
Spring Garden Street.

One cold night in January Mr.. May
nard, a very wealthy person, was
walking along Market street. Sud-
denly he noticed poor boy, who was
looking in shop window of toys.
Mr.. Maynard said, "Would you like
to have a toy?"
The boy looked up and said, eyes,
but have no money"
Mr.. Maynard took the boy up in his
arms and brought the boy into the
store and asked him which toy he
liked best. The boy said, II would
like that set Of trains"
Mr.. Maynard bought it and gave II
to him and went to q clothing store
and bought a suit Of clothes for him,
and then said, "Here, take this to
your mother" as he handed him a ten
dollar bill. Both hearts were made
happy that night.

And then-and then-then. 1t was said.
they began arguing about the justice of

cracked and broke; they ''cut" each
other publicly. 1t was very good story
to tell over teacups and books. The coll

sdes-all except the two little sad sopho-
mores.
But squashl Mrs. Newport and Miss
Bronx denied It alk Dame Rumor was
chased off the campus-for the time be-
ing.
at Is not true" said Miss Bronx.
Doctor Newport and l are the best of
friends. 1t is absurd to say that we
argue about the war. We occupy the
same office every day.
"See. here is a Christmas card she sent
me. We greeted each other just as cor
daily as can be when we came back from
our Christmas vacation. We are firm
friends. 1t would be foolish for me to
quarrel over the war"
Doctor Newport laughed when she was
told that she and Miss Bronx had quar-
relied.
"It is too funny" she said, Miss
Bronx is n very dear friend of mine.
We differ on the war. 1t Is true. but that
Is natural. l have many very dear
friends in Germany. and Miss Bronx has
in France. our sympathies. therefore,
are placed differently.
Miss Bronx Is very broad-minded in
respect to our difference of opinion. 1
am very glad to say that she has been
and is yet my friend"
When the little sophomores heard II
they leaped into one another's arms and
wept, this time for joy. The grass
seemed just bit greener, where 1t is pre-
par ng to burst out for the springtime
that is coming to beautify the picturesque
Quaker college.

SIMPLICITY MARKS
NEW SPRING HATS
Fabric Shapes and Beaded Or
naments Are Favored by
the Modistes

The cold. snappy January weather hasn
deferred the make OF straw hats from
accomplishing their purpose. The shops
are showing exclusive designs for PAIN
Beach and home wear. Indeed, as many
women are buying straw chapeaux to
be able to rush the seasons" right here
In Philadelphia as there will he IN
warmer climates during the whole OF the
winter months.
a tour of the more exclusive houses
along Chestnut street shows the prevailing
trend just now Is toward sailor shapes
You see them carried out in contrasting
shadings and contrasting materials, both
on the same hat. 1 or instance crepe
sailor hat In gendarme blue is faced
with tagal straw in n deep strawberry
tint. A beaded ornament forms the only
trimming, the effectiveness of the whole
depending for the most part upon the
angle at which 1t is worn.
This rage for beaded ornaments of all
kinds is significant. Few feather fancies
are shown, and mplicity-eNtreme,
costly simpllclty--is noticeable on all the
newer models. Fine French felts In
white and pastel tints are faced with
contrasting straw. one well-known shop
is showing the basket-woven styles which
were worn almost to distraction last
summer.
Toques, especially tho hower-and-rib-
bon-trimmed types. are good. The usual
early spring introduction Of all-violet
turbans Is seen. with n rose at the front.
Light panamas are also popular. These
are as a rule, wholly plain, or glrded
with white faille
Transparences OF every sort are fash

smart feldmouse gray, tete de negre,
Havana or Gait brown, wistaria, bleu de

season is young yet, the majority of hats
are plain, cautiously so. White is bow

reigns over all-for the present.

THE NEW coMPANfoNsH1P.

THE NEW COMPAN1oNSHIP.
TROM the night of the terrible fight
i with the big gray lynx on the top
of the Sun Rock. Kazan remembered
less and less vlvldly the old days when
he had been a sledge-dog. and the leader
of a pack. He would never quite forget
them, and always there would stand out
certain memories from among the rest.
So KaZan's life seemed now to be made
up chiefly of three things: his hatred of
everything that bore the scent or mark of
the lynx. his grieving for Joan and the
baby, and Gray Wolf It was natural that
the strongest passion in him should be his
hatred of the lynx, for not only Gray
VOLTS blindness and the death of the
pups. but even the loss of the woman and
the baby he laid to that fatal struggle
on the Sun Rock. From that hour he
became the deadliest enemy of the lynx
