Its her cry. and II came from the
Sun Rock r.
She ran out into the night, forget
ding that the man was close behind her
now, forgetting that little Joan was
alone In her bed. And to them. from
miles and miles across the plain, there
came q wailing cry In answer--a CRY
that seemed a part Of the wind, and
that thrilled Joan until her breath
broke In q strange sob.
Farther out on the plain she went
and then stopped, with the golden
glow Of the autumn moon and the stars
shimmerlng In her hair and eyes. II
was many minutes before the cry came
again, and then 1t was so near that
Joan put her hands to her mouth, and
her cry rang out over the plain ~ In
the days Of old.
"Kazan! Kazanl Kazan!"
At the top Of the Sun Rock, Gray
Wolf-gaunt and thlnned by starva-
, tion-heard the woman's cry. and the
call that was in her throat died away

Not until the stars were fading out
u the sky again, and gray day was
giving place TO night, did exhaustion
and hunger stop him. He killed rab-
bit, and for hours after he had feasted
he lay close to his kill. and slept.
Then he went on.
The fourth night he came to the
little valley between the two ridges.
and under the stars, more brilliant
now In the chill clearness OF the early
autumn nights, he followed the creek
down Into their old swamp home. It
was broad day when he reached what
had once been his home and Gray
WJlfs, and for many minutes Kazan
stood silent and motionless snifing the
air Until now his spirit had remained
unbroken. Footsore, with thinned sides
and gaunt head, he circled slowly
through the swamp. All that day he
searched. And his crest lay nat now.
and there was q hunted look In the
droop Of his shoulders and in the shift
Ing look OF his eyes. Gray Wolf was
gone.
Slowly nature was implnging that
fact upon him. She had passed out
Of his world and out OF his life, and
he was filled with q loneliness and q
grief 50 great that the forest seemed
strange, and the stiffness Of the wild
a thing that now oppressed and fright
ened him. Once more the dog In him
was mastering the wolf. With Gray
Wolf he had possessed the world OF
freedom. Without her, that world was
so big and strange and empty that II
appalled, him.
Late In the afternoon he came upon
a little pile Of crushed clam shells on
the shore of the stream. He sniffed
al them-turned away-went back,
aud shifted again. But the scent she
had left behind was not strong enough
10 tell kaZan. and for second time
he turned away. That night he skunk
under II log, and cried himself to
sleep. Deep In the night he grleved In
his uneasy slumber, Ike a child. And
day after day. and night after night,
Kazan remained Sinking creature Of
The big swamp, mourning for the one
creature that had brought him out OF
chaos into light, who had filled his
world for him, and who, in going from
him. had taken from this world even
the things that Gray Wolf had lost in
her blindness.

stantly KaEan's head was alert, MS
keen nostrils smiling the air. What ne
had smelled all day was heavy about
him now. He lay still and Quiverlng'
Slowly, from out OF the banskians be-
hind the tent, there came a figure. IL
was not the little professor. II ap-
preached cautiously. with lowered
head and hunched shoulders, and the
starlight revealed the murderous race
OF Sandy McTrigger. Kazan croucned
low. He laid his head nat between
his forepaws. His long fangs cleaned.
But he made no sound that betrayed
his concealment under thick Dan'
sklan shrub. Step by step Sandy ap-
preached, and at last he reached the
flap OF the tent. He did not carry q
club or q whip In his hand now. In
the place OF either off those was the
glitter Of steel. At the door to the
tent he paused. and peered In, his
back to Kazan.
Silently, swiftly-the wolf now IN
every movement. KaEan came to MS
feet. He forgot the chain that heiu
him. Ten feet away stood the enemy
he hated above all others he had ever
known. Every ounce Of strength In
his splendid body gathered itself Tor
the spring. And then he leaped. This
time the chain did not pull him back
almost neckbr0ken. Age and the ele-
ments had weakened the leather col
lar he had worn since the days OF mis-
slavery in the traces. and It gave way
with snap. Sandy turned, and In a
second leap Kazan's fargs sank into
the flesh Of his arm.
With a startled cry the man fell,
and as they rolled over on the ground
the big Danes deep voice rolled out
in thunderous alarm as he tugged ut
his leash. In the fall Kazan's hold was
broken. In an instant he was ON his
feet, ready for another attack. And
then the change came. He was free.
The collar was gone from his neck.
The forest, the stars. the whispering
wind were all about him. Here were
men, and of there was-Gray Wolf !!
His ears dropped. and he turned swift
ly. and slipped like shadow back Into
the glorious freedom Of his world.
A hundred yards away something
stopped him for an instant. 1t was
not the big Danes voice, but the sharp
crack-crack-c Of the little pro-
fessor's automatic. And above that
sound there rose the voice Of Sandy
McTElgger In a weird and terrible
CRY.
Baxter Springs news., 1917-08-02


In a whine. And to the north q swiftly
moving shadow stopped for q moment,
and stood like thing Of rock under
the starlight. It was Kazan. A strange
fire leaped through his body. Every
fiber Of his brute understanding was
aflre with the knowledge that here was
home. 1t was here. long ago, that he
had lived, and loved, and fought-and
all at once the dreams that had grown
faded and indlstinct In his memory
came back to him as real living things.
For. coming to him family over the
plain, he heard Joan's vOlcel
In the starlight Joan stood, tense
and white, when from out of the pale
mists of the moon-glow he came to
her, cringing on his belly, painting and
wind-run, and with strange whining
note In his throat. And as Joan went
to him, her arms reaching out, her lips
sObblng his name over and over again,
the man stood and looked down upon
them with the wonder Of a new and
greater understanding in his face. He
had no fear Of the wOlf-dog now. And
as Joan's arms Rugged Kazan's great
shaggy head up to her he heard the
whining gasping Joy Of the beast and
the sobbing whispering voice Of the
girl, and with tensely grlpped hands
he faced the Sun Rock.
"Good heavens" he breathed II be-
lieve-lt's So"
As II in response to the thought in
his mind, there came once more across
the plain Gray VOLTS mate-seeking
cry Of grief and Of loneliness. Swiftly
as though struck by lash Kaxan was
on his feet-oblivious Of Joan's touch.
Of her voice, Of the presence Of the
man. In another instant he was gone,
and Joan flung herself against her
husbands breast. and almost fercely
took his face between her two hands.
Snow do you believer" she cried
pantlngly. "NOw do you believe In the
God Of my wOrld-the God have lived
with, the God that gives souls to the
wild things, the God that-that has
brought-us all-together-Once more

His arms closed gently about her.
81 believe, my JOAN" he whispered.
"And you NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
It means, Thou shalt not killr"
Except that II brings ts llfe-yes,
I understand" he replied.
Her warm, soft hands strOked his
face. Her blue eyes, filled with the
glory Of the stars, looked up into his.
sKaxan and she-yOu and land

came backf she asked.
So close he drew her against his
breast that she did not hear the words
he whispered In the soft warmth Of
her hair. And after that, for many
hours, they sat In the starlight In
front Of the cabin door. But they did
not hear again that lonely CRY from
the Sun Rock. Joan and her husband
understood.
He'll visit rs again tomorrow" the
man said at last. ~Come. Joan, let rs

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Call Of Sun Rock.

In the golden glow Of the autumn
sun there came up-the stream over
looked by the Sun Rock one day q
man, a woman and a child In a canoe.
Civilization had done for lovely Joan
what 1t had done for many another
wild flower transplanted from the
depths Of the wilderness. Her cheeks
were thin. Her blue eyes had lost
their luster. She coughed, and when
she coughed the man looked at her
with love and fear In his eyes. But
now, slowly, the man had begun to
see the Transformation, and on the day
their canoe pointed up the stream and
into the wonderful valley that had
been their home before the call Of the
distant city came to them, he noted
the flush gathering once more In her
cheeks, the fuller redness Of her lips,
and the gathering glow Of happiness
and content in her eyes. he laughed
softly as he saw these things, and he
blessed the forests. In the canoe she
had leaned back, with her head al
most against his shoulder, and he
stopped padding to draw her to him,
and run his fingers through the soft
golden masses of her hair.
"You are happy again, JOAN" he
laughed joyously. "The doctors were
right. You are part Of the forests"
Eyes. am happy" she whispered,
and suddenly there came little thrill
into her voice, and she pointed to a
white finger Of sand running out into
the stream. "DO you rernember-years
and years ago, II seems-that Kazan
left us here? She was on the sand
over there, calling to him. Do you
remember?" There was a little trem-
BILE about her mouth, and she added, II
wOnder-where they-have gone"
The cabin wns as they had left 1t.
Only the crimson bakneesh had grown
up about It, and shrubs and tall grass
had sprung up near its walls. Once
more It took on life, and day by day
the color came deeper into Joan's
cheeks, and her voice was filed with
its old wild sweetness Of song. Joan's
husband cleared the trails over his old
trap-llnes, and Joan and the little Joan
transformed the cabin into home. One
night the man returned to the cabin
late, and when he came In there was
glow Of excitement In JOINS blue eyes.

sAnd you might kin him-or her."
Suddenly she stopped Both listened.
The door was a little ajar, and to
them there came again the wailing
raate-call Of the wolf. Joan ran to the
door. Her husband followed. Togeth-
er they stood silent. and with tense
breath Joan pointed over the Stariit
plain.

CHAPTER XIX.
An Empty World.

Mile after mile Kazan went on. For
a time he was oppressed by the shiv-
erinG note Of death that had come TO
him in Sandy McTrigger's cry, and
he slipped through the banskians like
a shadow, his ears flattened, his tail
trailing, his hindquarters betraying
that curious Sinking quality Of the
wolf and dog stealing away from dan
ger. Then he came out upon a plain,
and the stiffness, the billion stars In
the clear vault Of the sky, and the
keen air that carried with 1t breath
of the Arctic barrens made him alert
and questioning. He faced the dlrec-
ton Of the wind. Somewhere of there.
far to the south and west, was Gray
Wolf
For the first time in many weeks
he sat back on his launches and gave
the deep and vibrant call that echoed
weirdly for miles about him.. Back in
the banskians the big Dane heard 1t,
and whined. From over the still body
Of Sandy McTrigger the little profess
sor looked up with white tense face,
and listened for second cry. But
instinct told Kazan that to that first
call there would be no answer, and
now he struck out swiftly, galloping
mile after mile, as a dog follows the
trail Of It's master home. He did
not turn back to the lake, nor was his
direction toward Red Gold City. As
straight as he might have followed
road blazed by the hand Of man he
cut across the forty miles Of plain and
swamp and forest and rocky ridge
that lay between him and the MclFar-
lane. All that night he did not call
again for Gray Wolf. With him rea-
soning was a process brought about
by hablt-by precedent-and as Gray
Wolf had waited for him many times
before he knew that she would be
waiting for him now near the sand
bar.
BY dawn he had reached the river,
within three miles Of the sand-bar.
Scarcely was the sun up when he stood
on the white strip Of sand where he
and Gray Wolf had come down to
drink. Expectantly and confidently he
looked about him for Gray Wolf, whin-
Ing softly, and wagging his tail. he
began to search for her scent, but
rains had washed even her footprints
from the clean sand. All that day he
searched for her along the river and
out On the plain. He went to where
they had killed their last rabbit. he
snifnOd at the bushes where the poison
bats had hung. Again and again he
sat back on his launches and sent
out his mating cry to her. And slow
ly, a. he did these things, nature was
working In him that miracle Of the
wild which the Crees have named the
"splat call" As It had worked in
Gray Wolf, so now It stirred the blood
Of KaZan.
With the going Of the sun, and the
sweeping about him Of shadowy night,
he tarned more and more to the south
and east. His whole world was made
up - the trails ever which he had
hunted. Beyond those places he did
not hnow that there was such a thing
as existence. And IL that world, small
In his understanding Of things, was
GraP Wolf. He could not miss her.
That world, In his comprehension Of
Il, ran from The McFarlane In q mar
