Honolulu star-bulletin., 1917-03-03

With approximately 100000 motor
vehicles doing duty in the United
States, from 100000, 600 to 100000,
900 gallons of gasoline have TO be pro-
vided annually to keep them running.
There are unmistakable signs that the
production Of this. enormous volume
/ of gasoline will become increasingly
difficult and as a consequence there
is in the minds of many automobile
engine students the vague thought
that gasoline, while the fuel of today,
may have to give way to some other
product tomorrow In this connec-
ton it is comforting to know that
there is a substance already we'll
known which can take the place of
gasoline and run these automobiles
just as efficiently and perhaps more
SO, according to Bernard ~ Click. NJ.
Sc, who is making a study of motor

The substance wnich thus stands
out predolnfnantly as the fuel of the
future is alcchoE. This product long
since has passed the stage where its
suitability was questionable, the only
thing retarding its adoption being its
high price due 70 the raw materials

Three Of the pack had gone down I'M
der the fire Of the rife. aud half OF
the others We're swinging to the right
and the left. But Kazan drove straight
ahead. Faithfully Gray Wolf followed
him.
The sledge-dogs had been freed from
their traces, aud before he could reach
the man, whom he saw with his rifle
held Like q club In bis hands, Kazan
was met By the fighting mass Of them.
He fought like fiend, and there was
the strength and the fierceness Of two
mates In the mad crashing Of Gray
VOLTS fangs. Kazan wanted to reach
the man who held the rife, and he
freed himself from the fighting mass of
the dogs and sprang to the sledgs. For
the first time he saw that there was
something human on the sledge, and In
an instant he was upon It. He buried
his jaws deep. They sank in something
soft and hairy, and he opened them for
another lunge. And then he heard the
voice. II was her voice! Every muscle
In his body stood still. He became sud

away with startled yelp. 1t had all

CHAPTER vi.
The Fight in the Snow.

They found shelter that night under
thick balsam, and when they lay down
on the soft carpet Of needles which the
snow had not covered, Gray Wolf
snuggled her warm body close to Ka-
Zan and licked his wounds. The day
broke with a velvety full of snow, so
white and thick that they could not
see dozen leaps ahead of them in the
open. It was quite warm, and so still
that the whole world seemed filed with
only the futter and whisper of the
snOwhakes. Through this day Kazan
and Gray Wolf travelled side by side.
Time and again he turned his head
back to the ridge over which he had
come. and Gray Wolf could not under
stand the strange note that trembled In
bis throat.
In the afternoon they returned to
what was left Of the caribou doe on the
lake. In the edge of the forest Gray
Wolf hung back. She did not yet know
the meaning Of pOison-baits, deadfalls
and traps, but the instinct Of number
less generations was IN her veins, and
It told her there was danger In visiting
second time a thing that had grown
cold In death.
Kazan had seen masters work about
carcasseS that the wolves had left. he
had seen them conceal traps cleVerly,
and roll little capsules Of strychnine in
the fat Of the entrails, and once he
had put a foreleg in a trap, and had
experienced its sting and pain and
deadly grip. But he did not have Gray
VOLTS fear. He urged her to accOm-
pany him to the white hummOcks on
the ice, and at last she went with him
and sank back restlessly on her |
launches, while he dug out the bones |
and pieces Of flesh that the snow had |
kept from freezing. But she would not |
eat, and at last Kazan went and sat on
his launches at her side, and with her
looked at what he had dug out from
under the snow. He smiled the air.
He. could not smell danger, but Gray
Wolf told him that II might be there.
She told him many other things In
the days and nights that followed. The
third night Kazan himself gathered the
hunt-pack and led in the chase. Three
times that month, before the moon left
the skies, he led the chase, and each
time there was q KIN. But as Ahe SHOWS
began 70 grow softer under hlh feet he
found q greater and greater compan-
Ipnahlp IN Gray Won, and thsy hunted

stinct warned him not to betray tnaI
weakness. From out OF the pack a slim
1.-THE. gray she-wolf came up to him
and lay down In the snow before him
and then rose swiftly and smiled at m.
wounds.
She was young and strong and beau
tlful. hut Kazan did not look at her
Where the fight had been he was look
ing, at what little remained OF the old
leader. The pack had returned to the
feast. He heard again the cracking OF
bones and the rending OF flesh, and
something told him that thereafter all
, the wilderness would hear and recog-
niZe his voice, and that when he sat
back on his launches and called to the
moon and the stars, those swift-footed
hunters OF the big plain would respond
10 1t. He circled twice about the carl
bOu and the pack, and then trotted on
to the edge OF the black spruce forest.
When he reached the shadows he
looked back. Gray Wolf was following
him. She was only a few yards be-
hind. And now she came up TO him, a
little timidly, and she. too, looked back
to the dark blotch Of life out on the
lake. And as she stood there close be-
side him, Kazan shifted ut something
I'm the air that was not the scent Of
blood. nor the perfume of the balsam
and spruce. 1t was thing that seemed
10 come to him from the clear stars.
the clOudless moon, the strange and
beautiful quiet Of the night itself. And
It's presence seemed to be q part Of
Gray Wolf.
He looked at her, and he found Gray
VOLTS eyes alert and questioning. She
was young-so young that she seemed
scarcely TO have passed out Of puppy
hood. Her body was strong and slim
and beautifully shaped. In the noon
light the hair under her throat and
along her back shone sleek and soft.
She whined mt the red staring light In
Kazan's eyes. and IL was not a puppy's
whmper. Kazan moved toward her,
and stood with his head over her hack,
facing the pack. He felt her trembling
against his chest. He looked at the
moon and the stars again. the mystery
OF Gray Wolf and of the night throb-
blng in his blood.
Not much OF his life had been spent
Mt the posts. Most Of 1t had been on
the trail the traces and the
spirit of the mating season had only
stirred him from,afar. But it was very
near now. Gray Wolf lifted her head.
Her soft muzzle touched the wound on
his neck. and in the gentleness OF that
touch, in the low sound In her throat,
Kazan felt and heard again that won
ierful something that had come with
The caress of the woman's hand and
The sound Of her voice.
He turned, whining, his back bris-
ling. his head high and defiant of the
wilderness which he faced. Gray Wolf
rotted close at his side as they en-.
cred into the gloom Of the forest.
