and wormed his way mp II swiftly
Gray Wolf was not at the top to
greet him. But he could smell her, and
the scent Of that other thing was strong
In the air. His muscles frightened; his
legs grew tense. Deep down In his
chest there began the low rumble Of n
growl. He knew now what that strange
thing was that had haunted him, and
made him uneasy. It-was life. Some
thing that lived and breathed had in
vaded the home which he and Gray
Wolf had chosen. He barred his long
fangs, and a snarl Of defiance drew
back his lips. Stiff-legged, prepared to
spring, his neck and head reaching out,
he approached the two rocks between
which Gray Wolf had crept the night
before. She was still there. And with
her was something else. After a mo-
ment the tenseness left Kazan's body.
His bristling crest dropped until 1t lay
fat. His ears shot forward, aud he
put his head and shoulders between
the two rocks, and whined softly. And
Gray Wolf whined. Slowly Kazan
backed out, and faced the rising sun.
Then he lay down, so that his body
shielded the entrance to the chamber
between the rocks.
Gray Wolf was a mother.
