Five Times He Fired at Twenty PAGES

Today he placed the tallow n bran
before Kazan. and the smile In his
face gave way to a look Of perplexity.
Kazan's lips had drawn suddenly back.
A fierce snarl rolled deep in his throat.
The hair along his spine stood up. His
muscles twitched. Instinctively the
professor turned. Sandy McTrigger
had come up quietly behind him. His
brutal face wore n grin as he looked
at Kazan.
Its q fool ~job-tryin' to make
friends with him." he said. Then he
added, with q sudden interested CLEAN
in his eyes, "When you startin'?"
with first frost" replied McGill.
ut ought to come oon I'm going to
Join Sergeant Conroy and his party at
Fond du Lac by the 1st Of October"
"And you're going up to Fond du
Lac-alone?" queried Sandy. "Why
don't you take a man?"
The little professor laughed softly.
"Why?' he asked. "Tve been
through the Athabasca waterways a
dozen times, and know the trail as
we'll as ! know Broadway. Besides, !
like to be alone. And the work isn't
too hard, with the currents all flowing
to the north and east"

Tho Last Of McTriooer,
CHAPTER XVIII,

Tho Last OF McTriooer.
Sixty miles farther north Kazan
lay at the end of his fine steel chain.
watching little Professor McGill mix
Ing a pail Of tallow and bran. A
dozen yards from him lay the big
Dane, his huge jaws drooling in antici-
patton of the unusual feast which Nc
Gill was preparing. He showed signs
OF pleasure when McGill approached
him with a quart Of the mixture, and
he gulped 1t between his huge jaws.
The little man with the cold blue eyes
and the g%ray-blond hair stroked his
back without fear. His attitude was
different when he turned to Kazan.
His movements were filed with eau
ton, and yet his eyes and his lips
were smiling. and he gave the wolf
dog no evidence cf his fear, If II could
be called feai.
h little professor, who was up In
the north country for the Smithsonian
Institution, had spent a third Of his
life among dogs. He loved them, and
understood them. He had written a
number Of magazine articles on dog
intellect that had attracted wide at
tenton among naturalists. 1t was
largely because he loved dogs, and
understood them more than most men,
that he had bought Kazan and the big
Dane on the night when Sandy Nc
Trigger and his partner had tried to
get them to fight to the death In the
Red Gold City saloon. The refusal Of
the two splendid beasts to kill each
other for the pleasure Of the three
hundred men who had assembled to
witness the fight delighted him. He
had already planned q paper on tho
incident. Sandy had told him the story
Of Kazan's capture, and Of his wild
mate, Gray Wolf, and the professor
had asked him a thousand questions.
But each day Kazan puzzled him
more No amount of kindness on his
part could bring & responsive CLEAN in
KaZan's eyes. Not once did Kazan
signify a willingness to become friends.
And yet he did not snarl at McGill, or
snap at his hands when they came
within reach. Quite frequently Sandy
McTrigger came over to the little
cabin where McGill was staying, and
three times Kazan leaped at the end
Of his chain to get at him, and his
white fangs cleaned as long as Sandy
was in sight. Alone with McGill he
bpcamp Olliat SomathinV told him
that McGill had come as a friend that
night when he and the big Dane stood
shoulder to shoulder in the cage that
had been built for n slaughter pen.
Away down In his brute heart he held
McGill apart from other men. He had
no desire to harm him. He tolerated
him, but showed none Of the growing
affection of the huge Dane. 1t was
this fact that puzzled McGill. He had
lever before known n dog that he
could not make love him.
