Silently, SWiftly-the wolf now in
feet. He forgot the chain that held
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 for
the spring. And then he leaped. This
time the chain did not pull him back,
almost neckbroken. Age and the ele-
ments had weakened the leather col
lar he had worn since the days of his
slavery in the traces, and it gave way
with a snap. Sandy turned, and in a
second leap KaZan's fangs sank into
the flesh of his arm.
With Il startled cry the man fell,
and as they rolled oyer on the ground
fhr big Danes deep voice rolled out
IN thunderGus alarm as he tugged at
his leash. IN the fail kazan's hold WAS
broken, In an instant he was on his
geet. 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
syind were all about him. Here were
r1i"n, and off there WaS-Gray Wolf !!
His ears dropped, and he turned swift
", and Slipped like :; shadow back into
she glorious freedom OF his world.
4 hundred yards away something
stopped him for an instant. 1t was
not the big Danes voice, but the sharp
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, of the little pro-
lessons automatic. And above that
sound there rose tie voice of Sandy
McGrigger in a weird and terrible
cry.

Guilty in enrolling. The story is told of
two granite manufacturers, both Ameri-
can born, who came to see the wisdom
of complying with the governors order.
In one instance the canvasser had made
two efforts to get the information when
he served notice on his man that the
latter must come to the assessors Office.
Ten minutes later the recslcitrant one
was turning his data over to the asses
sors at city hall. Another declared that
he was too busy to comply with the re-
quest. but an explanation from the can
vssser convinced him that he owed it TO
himself to answer the inquiries.
