CHAPTER XIII.
Always Two by Two.

1t was january when guide from
the post brought Paul Weyman to
Henri Lofts cabin on the Waterf0und.
at is d strange" said Henri.
Il have lost seven lynx in the traps
torn to pieces like they were no mere
than rabbits that the foxes had killed.

This aroused Weyman. He was one
Of that growing number of thoughtful
men who believed that mans egois;n,

more wonderful facts of creation.

tear 1t into pieces. All that Know
by the SNOW"
During the two weeks that followed,
Weyman found much to add to the
material of his book. Not day passed
that somewhere along Henri's trap-line
they did rot see the trails Of the two
wolves, and Weyman Observed that
as Henri had told him-the footprints
were always two by two, and never
one by one. On the third day they
came to a trap that had held a lynx,
and at sight Of what remained Henri
cursed in both French and English
until he was purple In the face. The
lynx had been torn until its pelt was
practically worthless.
weyman saw where the smaller wolf
had waited on its launches, while its
companion had killed the lynx. he
did not tell Henri all he thought. But
the days that followed convinced him
more and more that he bad found the
most dramatic disqualification OF his

edy Of the trap.llne there was rea.

edy Of the trap.llne there was a rea-
son.
Why did the two wolves not destroy
the fisher-cat, the ermlne and the mar
ten? Why was their feud with the
lynx alone?
Weyman was strangely thrilled. He
was a lover of wild things, and for
that reason he never carried gun.
And when he saw Henri placing poison
bats for the two marauders, he shud-
dered, and when, day after day, he
saw that these poison bats were I'M
touched, he rejOiced. Something in his
own nature went out in sympathy to
the heroic outlaw of the trap-line who
never failed to give battle to the lynx.
Nights in the cabin he wrote down his
thoughts and discoveries of the day.
One day the big idea came to Henri.
Weyman was with him when they
struck fresh signs of lynx. There was
a great windfall ten or fifteen feet
high, and in one place the logs had
formed u sort of cavern, with almost
solid walls on three sides. The snow
was beaten down by tracks, and the
fur of rabbit was scattered about.
Henri was jubilant,
I'VE got heem-sure" he said.
He built the bait.house, set a trap
and looked about him shrewdly. Then
he explained his scheme to Weyman.
If the lynx was caught, and the two
wolves came to destroy it, the fight
would take place in that shelter under
the windfall, and the marauders would
have to pass through the opening. So
Henri set five smaller traps, conceal
ing them skillfully under leaves and
moss and snow, and all were far
enough away from the bait-hOuse so
that the trapped lynx could not spring
them in his struggles.
"When they fight, wolf jump this
way an that-an' sure get In" said
Henri. HE miss one, two, t'ree-but
he sure get in tran- somewhere" -

from the West. there came from the
Hudson's bay post to the East slim
lark-faced French half-breed by the
name of Henri Lott. the most famous
lynx hunter in all the Hudson's bay
country.
And up from the South, at this same
time. there was slowly working his
way by canoe and trail a young uni
verslty Zoologist who was gathering
material for book on 1.-THE Reason
ing of the Wild" His name was Paul
Weyman, and he made arrangements
to spend part of the winter with
Henri Lott, the half-breed. He brought
with him plenty of paper, camera
and the photograph Of girl. His only
weapon was n pOcketknife.
And meanwhile KaZan and Gray
Wolf found the home they were seek
Ing in a thick swamp five or six miles
from the cabin that Henri Lott had

In that same moment bind Gray
Wolf leaped In with a snarling cry, ano
fighting under KaZan's belly, she fas'
tened her. jaws In one Of the cats hind
legs. The bone snapped. The lynx

II fell back down on one Of the porcu-
pines, and hundred quilts drove into
Its body. Another leap and 1t was free
fleeing into the face Of the smoke.
Kazan did not pursue. Gray Wolr
came to his side and licked his neck
where fresh blood was crimsoning his
tawny hide. The fisher-cat lay as II
dead, watching them with fierce little
black eyes. The porcupines continued
to chatter. as II begging for mercy.
And then thick black suffocating pail
OF smoke drove low over the sand bar
and with 1t came air that was furnace
hot.
At the uttermOst end Of the sand bar
Kazan and Gray Wolf rolled them
selves into balls and thrust their heads
under their bodies. The fire was very
near now. The roar Of 1t was like that
Of great cataract. with now and then
louder crash of falling trees. The
air was filed with ash and burning
sparks, and twice Kazan drew forth his
head to snap at blazing embers that
fell upon and scared him like hot
irons.
Close along the edge Of the stream
grew thick green bush, and when the
fire reached this, 1t burned more SLOW
". and the heat grew less. Still, 1t was
long time before Kazan and Gray
Wolf could draw forth their heads and
breathe more freely. Then they found
that the finger Of sand reaching out In
to the river had saved them. Every
where in that triangle between the two
rivers the world had turned black, and
was hot underfoot.
The smoke cleared away. The wind
changed again, and swung down cool
and fresh from the west and north. The
fisher-cat was the first to move eau
tiously back to the forests that had
been, but the porcupines were still
rolled into balls when Gray Wolf and
Kazan left the sand bar. They began
to travel upstream, and before night
came, their feet were sore from hot
ash and burning embers.
The moon was strange and forebod-
ing that night, like spatter OF blood
in the sky, and through the long silent
hours there was not even the boot OF
an owl to give sign that life still ex-
listed where yesterday had been para
disc of wild things. Kazan knew that
there was nothing to hunt, and they
continued to travel all that night. With
dawn they struck q narrow swamp
along the edge of the stream. Here
beavers had built a dam, and they
were able to cross over into the green
country on the opposite side. For an
other day and another night they trav-
eled westward, and this brought them
into the thick country Of swamp and
timber along the Waterfound.

surd to bluster about morality, or
expect the state to confront them
with a catechism in her hand"
Nurtured on such teachings, is it
any wonder that Germany, wishing
to drive through Belgium to attack
unprepared France. calmly ignored
the treaty she had signed solem2ly
promising never to invade Belgium
contemptuously dismissed the incon-
venient" treaty as "a scrap of pa
per" and declared that necessity was
sufficient excuse for her action?
AS a matter of fact, the modern
German Empire is built on fraud.
The war with France in the 70's by
which Germany established and en-
riched itself was brought on by an
admitted lie and forgery by Bis

OUR NOBLE aim
IN THIS WAR.

LIN lulO WAN.
STRUGGLING FOR THE RIGHTS OF
NAN AGAINST THE BRUTALITY
OF THE DEsPoT.
The United States is at war against
Germany for two fundamental rea'
sons. For one thing, the present war
from the beginning has been essen
tally a conflict between democracy
and autocracy. and nation, con-
ceived in liberty" as America was,
cannot look uncaring upon the tri-
umph of autocracy anywhere in the
world. In the second place. we are
fighting for the maintenance OF hu-
man rights on the high seas. The sea
Is the public road of all nations.
No country has right to make it
unsafe for people to travel the high
seas of water, just as no man has a
right to make it unsafe for other
men to travel our highways of earth.
One of my good friends said. l
am not in favor of fighting Germany
until she comes within the three-mile
limit of our Atlantic coast" Such q
policy would mean the surrender OF
funnamental American rights and
even human rights. Suppose two
neighbors should get mad with each
other, and one should say to you and
your neighbors. If any one OF you
travels the public road passing by my
house you do 80 at your peril. My
enemy travels along that road some
times, and l will dynamite without
warning every wagon, automobile or
buggy / see coming on that road. re-
gardless of whether | kill you. your
innocent wives.your sons and daugh'
ters, or babes sucking at the moth
er's breast.
If such threat were made, it is
EASY enough to imagine what you
and your neighbors would do. lfyou
lived in an organized, civilized COM
rnunity, you would have the man seiz-
ed as q criminal, restrained from his
purpose, and punished for any exc
cution of his threat. On the other
hand. if you lived in an uncivilized'
frontier community, such as the
wild West" was fifty years ago, you
and the rest of the people would join
together to fight that barbarian un-
til he respected the common rights
of humanity. And then in recogri-
ton of a supreme need, you might
net up constables, courts, sheriffs and
jails to prevent any such defiance OF
human rights in future.
It is just such a threat against hu-
man rights that Germany has not on
" made but has carried into execu-
ton. When she brutally sank the
gallant ship Lusitania and sent to
the bottom of the sea scores and
scores of non-comba.ant men and
women, including mothers with little
ones as innocent as those who pratt
tie at your own freside tonight
when Germany did this and a hum
dred other similar acts previously
outlawed by the conscience OF man.
kind, she dyed her Macbeth-hands
with murderer's blood, which not all
her science and skill and boasted
culture" can ever wipe out.
Now, if the nations of the earth
we're properly organized, there would
be some supreme authority that
would restrain and punish this muir
aerer.nation, just as courts and sher-
aifsnow punish murderer-individuals.
But since We lack such League of
nations to enforce peace" it is the
mescapable duty of America to join
ID the voluntary effort of other peo-
pies to goNup against Germany until
she renounces her murderous threats
and promises to abide by the STAN
