dropping the flask in his coat pocket,
Walking around the fire, he tiptoed
cautiously to the shadow of a tree
close to the tent and stood there for
many minutes listening. His eyes
burned with a fiery madness when he
returned TO the sledgc and Kazan. 1t
was midnight before he went into his
own tent.
In the warmth of the fire Kazan's
eyes slowly closed. He slumbered I'M
easily, and his brain was filed with
troubled pictures. At times he was
fighting, and his jaws snapped. At
others he was straining at the end of
his chain, with McCready or his mis-
tress just out of reach. And then the
picture changed. He was running at
the head of a splendid team-six dogs
Of the Royal Northwest Mounted po-
lice-and his master was calling him
Pedro The scene shifted. They were
in camp. His master was young and
smooth-faced, and he helped from the
sledge another man whose hands were
ldSleutu III lIonl OF MIN by curious
black rings. Again it was later-and
he was lying before a great fire. His
master was sitting opposite him, with
his back to n tent, and as he looked,
there came out of the tent the man
with the black rings-only now the
rings were gone and his hands were
free, and in one of them he carried a
heavy club. He heard the terrible
blow of the club as it fell on his mas-
ter's head-and the sound of it aroused
him from his restless sleep.
He sprang to his feet, his spine stiff
fleming and snarl in his throat The
fire had died down, and the camp
was in the darker gloom that precedes
dawn. Through that gloom Kazan
saw McCready. Again he was stand
ing close to the tent of his mistress,
and he knew now that this was the
man who had worn the black iron
rings, and that it was he who had
beaten him with whip and club for

When Razors Were First Used.

Razors appear to have come into
general use in France with Louis XIII.
One authority has attributed the rea-
son for the style of smooth faces at
this time to the fact that the king
came to the throne as child and so,
of course, beardless. Out of courtesy
to the king, the courtiers shaved their
boards so that they would possess no
luxury which their king could not
share" From the courtiers the GUS
tom descended to the common people,
and was also copied by the English,
for whom the French even then ere
ated the styles.

fastened to trees just within the outer
circle of freight Kazan saw the
shadowy forms and cleaning eyes of
his teammates. He stood stiff and mo-
tionless while Thorpe fastened him to
sledge. Once more he was back In
his forests-and in command. His
mistress was laughing and clapping
her hands delightedly in the excite
ment of the strange and wonderful life
of which she had now become part.
Thorpe had thrown back the flap of
their tent, and she was entering ahead
of him. She did not look back. She
spoke no word to him. He whined,
and turned his red eyes on McCready.
In the tent Thorpe was saying:
"Pm sorry old Jackpine wouldn't go
back with us, Issy. He drove me
down, but for love or money couldn't
get him to return. He's a Mission In
dian, and I'd give a months salary to
have you see him handle the dogs. I'm
not sure about this man McCready.
He's a queer chap, the company's agent
here tells me, and knows the woods
like a book. But dogs don't like a
stranger. Kazan isn't going to take
to him worth a cent !"
Kazan heard the girls voice, and
stood rigid and motionless listening to
it. He did not hear or see McCready
when he came up stealthily behind
him. The mans voice came as sud
denly as a shot at his heels.
"Pedro !"
In an instant Kazan cringed as If
touched by a lash.
"Got you that time-didn't l, you old
devil !" whispered McCready, his face
strangely pale in the freight.
