meant nothing to the cold thing Of
death that Thorpe held In his hand. He
turned his head once, and whined soft

last Of the girl.
He knew, now, that he was leaving
her forever, and there was an ache In
his heart that had never been there be-
fore, pain that was not Of the club or
whip, of cold or hunger, but which was
greater than them all, and which filled
him with n desire to throw back his
head and cry out his loneliness to the

yond that sledge, hidden In the dark
ness Of the trees, was the body of the
man he had killed, covered with a
blanket. Thorpe, his master, had
dragged it there.
BE lay down, with his nose to the
warm Goals and his eyes leveled be-
tween his forepaws, straight at the
closed tent-fiap. He meant TO keep
awake, to watch, to be ready to stink
of into the forest at the first move
ment there. But warmth was rising
from out of the gray ash Of the fire.
bed, and his eyes closed. Twice-three
times-he fought himself back into
watchfulness; but the last time his
eyes came only half open, and closed
heavily again.
In his sleep he was leaping again at
the end Of his chain. His jaws snapped
like castanets of steel-and the sound
awakened him, and he sprang to his
feet, his spine as stiff as brush, and
his snarling fangs barred like ivory
knives. He had awakened just In time
There was movement in the tent. His
master was awake, and II he did not
escape
He sped swiftly into the thick spruce,
and paused, fiat and hidden, with only
his head showing from behind a tree
He knew that his master would not
spare him. Three times Thorpe had
beaten him for swapping at McCready.
The last time he would have shot him
If the girl had not saved him. And
now he had torn McCready's throat.
He had taken the life from him, and
his master would not spare him. Even
the woman could not save him.
Kazan was sorry that his master had
returned, dazed and bleeding, after he
had torn McCready's jugular. Then he
would have had her always. She would
have loved him. She did love him. And
he would have followed her, and fought
for her always, and died for her when
the time came. But Thorpe had come
in from the forest again, and Kazan
had skunk away Quickly-for Thorpe
meant to him what all men meant to
him now: the club, the whip and the
strange things that spat fire and DEATH
And now
Thorpe had come out from the tent
It was approaching dawn, and In his
hand he held rifle. A moment later

on his back. A second and q third
time he sprang the length Of the leash
into the night, and the babiche cord
about his neck cut into his flesh like
knife. He stopped for an instant,
gasping for breath. The shadows were
still fighting. Now they were upright
Now they were crumpling DOWN. With
fierce snarl he flung his whole weight
once more at the end OF the chain.
There was a snap, as the thong about
his neck gave way.
In half dozen bounds Kazan made
the tent and rushed under the flap.
With snarl he was at McCready's
throat. The first snap of his powerful
jaws was death, but he did not know
that. He knew only that his mistress
was there, and that he was fighting for
her. There came one choking gasping
cry that ended With q terrible sob; it
was McCready. The man sank from
his knees upon his back, and Kazan
thrust his fangs deeper into his
enemy's throat; he felt the warm blood.
The dogs mistress was calling to
him now. She was pulling at his shaggy
neck. But he would not loose his hold
not for a long time. When he did,
his mistress looked down once upon
the man and covered her face with her
hands. Then she sank down upon the
blankets. She was very still. Her face
and hands were cold, and Kazan muz-
zled them tenderly. Her eyes were
closed. He snuggled up close against
her, with his ready jaws turned toward
the dead man. Why was she SO still,
he wondered?
A long time passed, and then she
moved. Her eyes opened. Her hand
touched him.
Then he heard a step outside.
1t was his master, and with that old
thrill Of fear-fear of the club-he
went swiftly to the door. Yes, there
was his master in the firelight-and in
his hand he held the club. He was
coming slowly, almost falling at each
step, and his face was red with blood.
But he had the club! He would beat
him again-beat him terribly for hurt
ing McCreadg; so Kazan slipped quiet

the thick spruce he looked back, and
low whine of love and grief rose and
died softly in his throat. They would
beat him always now-after that. Even
she would beat him. They would hunt
him down, and beat him when they
found him.
From out Of the glow of the fire he
turned his wolfish head to the depths
of the forest. There were no clubs or

CHAPTER ~.
Free From Bonds.

There was n low moaning of the
wind In the spruce tops as Kazan skunk
off into the blackness and mystery Of
the forest. For hours he lay near the
camp, his red and blistered eyes gaz-
ing steadily at the tent wherein the ter
rlble thing had happened n little while
before.
He knew now what death was. He
could tell 1t farther than man. He
could smell 1t in the air. And he knew
that there was death all about him,
and that he was the cause of 1t. He

her daughter, Mrs. NJ. +. Culhane, on
Friday evening at 1870 p. m. Dec.
It'll, at the age Of IS years, l month
and 7 days.
Mrs. Langdon was born and grew
to womanhood at Scranton. Penn. and
married there Soon after marriage
she and her husband came to what
is now Harvard. Illinois, where they
lived twelve or thirteen years. She
and her husband and family came to

Mrs. Langdon has been a great suf-
ferer and invalid for many years.

the tabernacle services directly, or
hrou some Of the smaller meetings
conducted by Mr.. Rose or Miss Hos
ford, in the special meetings for
young men and for young women,
have been the keynote around which
much Of the success has been woven.

cess. The supper had been served
gratis by the ladies of the P~resbyteri.
an, United Presbyterian and the Bap-
list churches, in the Methodist church
and was attended by some 200 stu
dents and teachers. and after a gener-
al good tine and good eats and
speeches by teachers and members
of the ev~angelistic party, the crowd
brought their spirit OF enthusiasm and
optimism to the tabernacle where for
a time during the song service they
were free to sing and give their yells
as much as they cared to. A mes
sage on Safety First was given by
Evangelist Stephens and one of the
finest and most profitable service was
a result. The night was a severely
cold n but those in attendance at
the service declared ii was well worth
the effort made by them in coming
out. The supper served by the ladies
of the Methodist church for the bust
ness young women. and all other
young women of the town. after which
those attending marched to the tab
ernacle for their special night which
was known as Young Women's night,
was also a success in reaching the
elemen that was desired. The work
among the high school girls and the
Young Women accomplished by Miss
Hosford has established a deep under.
of regard for spiritual things
that has been previously lacking in
many lives.
Regardless of the intense cold that
prevailed on the fifth Sunday of the
campaign. two very profitable and
heart searching services were con-
Quoted in the afternoon and the even
ing, attended by a surprisingly large
number of people. The meeting in
the afternoon addressed by Rev. Ste
phens on The Only Life Worth Liv-
ing" especially to Christians, resulted
in scores consecrating themselves to
the work Of Jesus Christ and declar-
ing themselves out and out for God.
The service of the evening when
Evangelist Stephens gave the sermon
that had been advertised for the last
week, and looked forward to by so
many, is There a He'll? Does God
Send Anyone There" brought out a
splendid crowd for such a miserable
night. Those most handicapped be-
cause of the severity of the weather
are those who live in the country and
cannot use their cars to get in for
the meetings, consequently the audi
ences of Sunday were composed most
ly of those living directly in Brook
ings.
This week there is to be organized
a Young Mems Christian Workers
League which will do much towards
conserving the results of these meet
