on his back. A second and a third
time he sprang the length of the leash
into the night, and the babiche cord
about his neck cut into his flesh like
knife. He stopped for an instant,
gasping for breath. The shadows were
still fighting. Now they were upright |!
Now they were crumpling down With
a fierce snarl he flung his whole weight
once more at the end Of the chain.
There was snap, as the thong about
his neck gave way.
| In half dozen bounds Kazan made
the tent and rushed under the flap.
With a snarl he was at McCready's
| throat. The first snap OF his powerful
jaws was death, but he did not know
that. He knew only that his mistress
was. there, and that he was fighting for
her. There came one choking gasping
cry that ended with a terrible sob; it
was McCready. The man sank from
his knees upon his back, and Kazan
thrust his fangs deeper into his
| enemy's throat; he felt the warm blood.
The dogs. mistress was calling to
him now. She was pulling at his shaggy
neck. But he would not loose his hold
not for a long, time, When he did,
his mistress looked down once upon
the man and covered her face with her
hands. Then she sank down upon the
blankets. She was very still. Her face
and hands were cold, and Kazan muz-
zled them tenderly. Her eyes were
closed. He spuggled up close against
| her, with his ready jaws turned toward
the dead man. Why was she so stilla
he wondered7
A long time passed, and then she
moved. Her eyes opened. Her hand
touched him.
Then he heard a step outside.
| 1t was his master, and with that old
thrill Of fear-fear of the club-he
went swiftly to the door. Yes, there
was his master in the firelight-and in
his hand he held the club. He was
coming slowly, almost falling at each
step, and his face was red with blood.
But he had the club! He would beat
him again-beat him terribly for hurt
ing McCready; so Kazan slipped quiet
ly under the tent-flnp and stole off into
the shadows. From out the gloom of
the thick spruce he looked back, and
a low whine of love and grief rose and
died softly in his throat. They would
beat him always now-after that. Even
she would beat him. They would hunt
him down, and beat him when they
found him.
From out of the glow of the fire he
turned his wolfish head to the depths

singing lashes out in that gloom. They
would never find him there.
For another moment he wavered.
And then, as silently as one of the wild
creatures whose blood was partly his,
he stole away into the blackness of the
night.

CHAPTER ".
Free From Bonds.

There was n low moaning of the
wind in the spruce tops as Kazan skunk
off into the blackness and mystery of
the forest. For hours he lay near the
camp, his red and blistered eyes gaz-
ing steadily It the tent wherein the ter
rible thing had happened little while
before.
He knew now what death was. He
could tell it farther than man. He
could smell 1t In the air. And he knew
that there was death all about him,
and that he was the cause Of 1t. He
lay on his belly in the deep snow and
that was dog whined in a grief-stricken
way, while the quarter that was wolf
still revealed itself menacingly in his
fangs, and in the vengeful glare of his
eyes.
Three times the man-his MASTER
came out Of the tent, and shouted loud
ly, "Kazan-Kazan-Ka -
Three times the woman came with
him. In the freight Kazan could see
her shining hair streaming about her,
as he had seen 1t In the tent, when he
had leaped up and killed the other
man. In her blue eyes there was the
same wild terror. and her face was
white as the snow. "Kazan-Kaxan-
Kazan f"-and all that part Of him that
was dog. and not wolf, trembled joy
ously Mt the sound Of her voice, and he
almost crept in to take his beating. But
fear Of the club was the greater. and
he held back. hour after hour. until
now 1t was silent again in the tent.
and he could no longer see their shad-
ows, and the fire was dying down.
Cautiously he crept out from the
thick gloom, working his way on hiS
belly toward the pacaed saedge. and

ness Of the trees, was the body Of the
man he had killed, covered with 4
blanket. Thorpe. his master, had
dragged it there.
he lay down. with hls nose to the
warm Goals and his eyes leveled be-
tween his forepaws, straight at the
closed tent-fiap. He meant TO keep
awake, to watch, to be ready to slink
on into the forest at the first move
ment there. But warmth was rising
from out OF the gray ash Of the fire
bed. and his eyes closed. Twice-three
times-he fought himself back into
watchfulness but the last time his
eyes came only half open, and closed
heavily again.
In his sleep he was 1eaping again at
the end Of his chain. His jaws snapped
like castanets Of steel-and the sound
awakened him, and he sprang to his
feet, his spine as stiff as brush, and
his snarling fangs barred like ivory
knives. He had awakened just in time.
There was movement in the tent. His
master was awake, and II he did not

He sped swiftly into the thick spruce,
and paused, fiat and hidden, with only
his head showing from behind tree.
He knew that his master would not
spare him. Three times Thorpe had
beaten him for swapping at McCready.
The last time he would have shot him
If the girl had not saved him. And
now he had torn McCready's throat.
He had taken the life from him, and
his master would not spare him. Even
the woman could not save him.
Kazan was sorry that his master had
returned, dazed and bleeding, after he
had torn McCready's jugular. Then he
would have had her always. She would
have loved him. She did love him. And
he would have followed her, and fought
for her always, and died for her when
the time came. But Thorpe had come
in from the forest again, and Kazan
had skunk away quickly-for Thorpe
meant to him what all men meant to
him now: the club, the whip and the
strange things that spat fire and death.
And now
Thorpe had come out from the tent.
1t was approaching dawn, and in his
hand he held rifle. A moment later
the girl came out, and her hand caught
the mans arm. They looked toward

she spoke to Thorpe and he suddenly

shiver ran through Kazan. The
man was trying to inveigle him back.
He had in his hand the thing that
killed.
"Kazan-Kazan-Ka he
shouted again.
KaZan sneaked cautiously back
from the tree. He knew that distance
meant nothing to the cold thing Gf
death that Thorpe held in his hand. He
turned his head once, and whined soft
ly, and for an instant a great longing
filed his reddened eyes as he saw the
last of the girl.
He knew, now, that he was leaving
her forever, and there was an ache In
his heart that had never been there be-
fore, pain that was not Of the club or
whip, Of cold or hunger, but which was
greater than them all. and which filed
him with a desire to throw back his
head and cry out his loneliness to the
gray emptiness of the sky.
Back in the camp the girls voice
quivered.
'.He Is gone"
The mans strong voice choked.a a lit
tie. :.
ayes, he Is gone. He knew-and
didn't. I'd give-a year of my life-if
hadn't whipped him yesterday and last
night. He won't come back"
Isobel Thorpe's hand frightened on
his arm.
"He willr' she cried. HE woa't
leave me- He loved me, II he was saw
nge andsterrible. And he knows that
love him. He'll come back"
"Listen!'
From deep in the forest there came
Q long wailing howl, filed with a plain.
tive sadness. 1t was Kazan's farewell
to the woman.

Seed Wheat to Farmers at Cost.

What is considered by farmers to be
crop acreage for 1918 was Realised
when J. X. Mullen announced that he
will sell seed wheat at cost for next
years crop. Farmers had raised ser.
ious objection to the present price Of
seed wheat, which was increased over
last years price on account Of tho
provisions Of the protective seed law
passed by the Twenty-first Colorado
Legislature.

Winter Dairying.

There are a number of advantages
in winter dairying that should CON-
mend 1t to more dairymen. On most
farms the cows freshens in the spring,
but an increasing number of progress
sive dairymen are breeding their anil
mails to drop the calves in the fall.
They are doing this because they have
found that winter dafrying has many
advantages, among which are the fol-
lowing:
First, higher prices are obtained for
milk and cream.
Second, labor on the farm is more
equally distributed throughout the
year. II the cows freshen In the
spring they are in full flow Of milk
and need the best care during the
time that work in the fields is most
pressing. On the other hand, If the
cows calve in the fab and are MIXED
during the winter, the. farmer has more
time to give close attention to the de-
tails of the work, and can also give
his hired men employment the year
round. which will insure better grade
of help.
Third, the lactation period is length
ened and the amount Of milk given
during the year is very considerably
increased. Cows that freshen In the
spring milk heavily while grass is
good, but the flow Of milk falls of as
the pasture dries up, and with the COM
ing of cold weather they are nearly
dry. II they freshen in the fall they
can at once be started on good win
ter ration, and when they have been
milked six months it Is time to put
them on pasture, and for time the
flow of milk will be nearly as great
as that from fresh cows. Recent in
vestigations by experiment stations
bear out this observation.
Fourth, fall calves are more desir.
able than those born in the spring.
Young calves should be fed on milk
for several months, after which time
they must be weaned and fed on solid
feed. II they are born in the spring
they will be tormented by the flies all
summer, they may be neglected be-
cause Of the farm work. and when 1t IL
time to wean them in the fall they
must be put on a dry winter ration.
Fall calves come ut time when the
dairyman can give them the closest
attention and when weaned they can
be put ON grass at an age when an
easily digested and nutritious feed II
most needed.

pounds of concentrates than any other

The straight corn diet, which many
hogs receive from one years end to
the other, lessons vitality. The re-
searches of the Wisconsin experiment
station have shown that this Is prob
ably brought about by retarding the
development of the vital organs.

FOOTBALL SLUMP.

thy Associated Press)
BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. S1-ln re-
viewing the football season of the
University of California. there has
been considerable discussion among
followers of the game anent the
slump taken by the team at the close
OF the season. Men who have studied
the game ascribe the cause to the
makeup of the schedule With the
principal game of the season coming
in the middle of the program, 1t Is
.eontended that the subsequent con.
tests are mere anti-climax and in
tefest is on the wane. With the
team brought to concert pitch In
mid season, 1t is contended to be
rarity where the men can be
brought up again to this condition in
the same season, especially for
minor games.
