heard n strange small cry from the
furry bundle on the sledge that brought
his head up with a jerk.
Joan saw the movement, and heard
the low answering whimper In his
throat. She turned quickly to the
bundle, talking and cooling to it as she
took ii In her arms. and then she
pulled back the bearskin so that KaZan
could see. He had never seen a baby
before, and Joan held ii out before
him, so that he could look straight at
1t and see what II wonderful creature 1t
was. Its little pink face stared stead
lily at Kazan. Its tiny fists reached
out. and it made queer little sounds at
him, and then suddenly it kicked and
screamed with delight and laughed. At
those sounds KaZan's whole body re-
Taxed, and he dragged himself to the
girls feet.
"See, he likes the baby !" she cried.

With her hand on the tent-iap, Joan
turned.
HE came with the wolves" she said.
LET us call him Wolf" With one arm
she was holding the little Joan. The
other she stretched out to Kazan.

Kazan's eyes were on her. He knew
that she was speaking to him. and he
drew himself a foot toward her.
"He knows it already" she cried.
"Good night, mon pere."
For a long time after she had gone
into the tent, old Pierre Radisson sat
on the edge Of the sledge, facing the
fire, with Kazan at his feet. Suddenly
the silence was broken again by Gray

He coughed, and clutched a hand to
his breast, where the pain seemed rend-

we'll get home-in time-with the

In the loneliness and, emptiness OF
the big northern wilderness one falls
into the habit Of talking to ones self.
But Kazan's head was alert, and his
eyes watchful, SO Pierre spoke to him.
We've got to get them home, and
there's only you and me to do it," he
said, twisting his beard. Suddenly he
clenched his fists.

him again.

chest. ITS eighty miles straight north

He rose to his feet, and staggered q
little as he walked. There was a collar
about Kazan's neck, and he chained
him to the sledge. After that he
dragged three or four small logs upon
the fire, and went quietly into the tent
where Joan and the baby were already
asleep. Several times that night Kazan
heard the distant voice of Gray Wolf
calling for him, but something told him
that he must not answer it now. To
ward dawn Gray Wolf came close In to
the camp. and for the first time Kazan
replied to her.

TRACE LEAK" OF FLEET NEWS.
U. S. Government Believes 1t Was Sem
Via Mexico.

New York, June 5-Evidence that two
complete high powered wireless installa-
tons, assembled here from various
sources, were shipped piecemeal to Mex
leo, supposedly for use Of German spy
system in this country, was unearthed
in connection with the arrest OF three
men on charges OF conspring to send
mail containing military informa ton
surreptitiously from the United States
TO Germany through members of Nor
wegian ship crews.
1t was intimated by the United States
commission before whom the alleged
plotters were srraigned, that it was
through their instrumentality that adj
vance news OF the impending arrival in
England of the America destroyer fleet
was sent to Germany before it even be-
came generally known in this country
that it had sailed.
With only the surface of the mass OF
evidence in the governments hands
scratched, indications have been found
that the secret mail system was oper-
ated both ways between the United
States, Germany and Mexico. Several
ten in English, German and Spanish, and
some apparently in code. They are be-
ing translated in the expectation that
they will open the way to full revela-
tions OF the alleged spy plot which is
said to point to other persons besides
those under arrest,
The prisoners are Harry F. PERISH and
Irving Bonaparte, both said to be Amer
lean born, employed by German electri-
cal company here, and Axel L. Melchar,
said to be a naturalized citizen from
Sweden. They are charged with con-
spring to induce members of the crews
OF the steamships Bergensfjord and Kris
both chartered to carry reg
nlar United States mails, to take letters
and packages from this country destined
for Germany, in violation of the law pro-
hibiting competition with the United
States mail

CORSET DEFLECTED BULLET.
Miss Lena Bishop of West Rutland Saved
from Serious Injuries.

Rutland, June "a stray bullet fired
from 3s-calibre gun in the hands of l..
]. Hoadley of West Rutland struck Miss
Lena Bishop, who lives with her sister,
Mrs. Napoleon Vondette, just across the
road from the Hoadley house on the
Causeway, yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock. Luckily, the speed of the
bullet had been partially spent by strik-
ing tree and it did little actual injury
aside from severe bruise in the right
side.
1t is the belief of DR.. G. B. Ross, who
was called, that the corset worn by the
young woman saved her from more
serious and possible fatal injury, for this
garment succeeded in stopping the bullet,
which did not penetrate the corset steels.
Miss Bishop was sitting on the piazza
of the Vondette home and at the time
was rocking in her arms a small child,
daughter of her sister. Mr.. Hoadley was
out in the yard, shooting at either chick
ems or birds when one of the bullets
struck tree, glanced and hit Miss Bish-
op.
