but ne did not look as II he had been

Richardson sank back in the cab and
covered his face with his hands. The
mrs. Iour weeks of rehearsal had de-
vslopea need for four weeks more to
perfect the masterpiece. Neither time
nor expense nor labor was spared.
But Richardson groaned at every
fresh delay. yet he trembled still more
when the night came. when he saw his
name blazoned out on billboards and
programs and in newspaper headlines:
author OF the Great New Play,
The Tree of Life"
he wondered at the madness that had

CHAPTER XII.
The Days Of Fire.

From the night Of the terrible fight
with the big gray lynx on the top Of
the Sun Rock, Kazan remembered less
and less vividly the old days when he
had been a sledge-dOg, and the leader
Of pack. He would never quite for
get them, and always there would
stand out certain memories from
among the rest, like fires cutting the
blackness Of night. But as a man
dates events from his birth, his mar
rage, his freedom from a bondage, OF
some foundatiOn-step In his career, 90
all things seemed to Kazan to begin
with two tragedies which had followed
one fast upon the other after the birth
Of Gray VOLTS pups.
The first was the fight on the Sun
Rock, when the big gray lynx had
blinded his beautiful wolf mate for all
time, and had torn her pups into pieces,
He in turn had killed the lynx. But
Gray Wolf was still blind. Vengeance
had not been able to give her sight.
She could no longer hunt with him, as
they had hunted with the Wild wolf
packs out on the plain, and in the
dark forests. So at thought Of that
night he always snarled, and his lips
curled back TO reveal his inch-long
fangs.
The other tragedy was the going Of
Joan, her baby and her husband. some,
thing more infallible than reason told
KaEan that they would not come back

At last the great day came. eight
days after the fight on the Sun Rock
Kazan had taken Gray Wolf TO wood
ed point on the river two days before,
and there he had left her the preceding
night when he went to the cabin. This
time a stout babiche thong was tied
TO the collar round his neck, ind he
was fastened to a staple In the log
wall. Joan and her husband were up
before It was light next day. The sun
was Just rising when they all went out,
the man carrying the baby. 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 of. and he closed
his eyes, and rested his head on JOan's
lap. Her hand fell softly on his shout
der. He heard again that sound which
the man could not hear, the broken sob
In her throat, as the canoe moved slow
ly down to the wooded point.
Joan waved her hand back ut the
cabin, just disappearing behind the
trees.
''GoOd-by!" she criedly sadly. Good
by" And then she buried her face
close down to Kazan and the baby, and
sObbed.
The man stopped padding.
You're not sorry-Joan?" he asked.
They were drifting past the point
now, and the scent Of Gray Wolf came
10 Kazan's nOstrils, rousing him, and
bringing a low whine from his throat.
You're not sorry-we're going"
Joan shook her head.
NO" she replied. "Only Tve-al-
ways lived herein the forests-and
they're-hOmeI
The point with its white finger Of
sand, was behind them now. And ka-
IAN was standing rigid, facing 1t. The
man called to him, and Joan lifted her
head. She, too, saw the point, and
suddenly the babiche 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 DIP
Of sand. It was Gray Wolf. Her blind
eyes were turned toward Kazan. At
last Gray Wolf, the faithful, under
stood. Scent told her what her eyes
could not see. Kazan and the man-smOll
were together. And they were going
gOing-going-
Look" whispered Joan.
The man turned. Gray VOLTS fore
feet 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 sun which she
could not see and gave her last long
wailing cry for Kazan.
The canoe lurched. A tawny body
shot through the air-and KaZan was
gone.
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-let him go" she cried. 1T is his
place-wlth her"
And Kazan reaching the shore, shook
the water from his shaggy hair, and
looked for the last time toward the
woman. The canoe was drifting slow
ly around the first bend. A moment
more and 1t had disappeared. Gray
Wolf had won.

one.
Then came the great fire.
Gray Wolf caught the scent of it
when 1t was still two days to the west.
The moon, drifting into the west, be-
came blood red. When 1t dropped be-
hind the wilderness in this manner,
the Indians called 1t the bleeding moon,
and the air was filed with omens.
All the next day Gray Wolf was
nervous, and toward noon Kazan
caught in the air the warning that she
had sensed many hours ahead Of him.
Steadily the scent grew stronger, and
by the middle of the afternoon the sun
was yelled by a film of smoke.
The flight of the wild things from the
triangle Of forest between the juno
tons Of the Pipestone and Cree rivers
would have begun then, but the wind
shifted. II was a fatal shift. The tire
was raging from the west and south.
Then the wind swept straight east
ward, carrying the smoke with II, and
during this breathing spell all the wild
creatures In the triangle between the
two rivers waited. This gave the nrs
time to sweep completely across the
base Of the forest triangle, cutting on
the last trails Of escape.
