the trail : in the traces and the
spirit Of the mating season had only
stirred him from afar. But II was very
near now. Gray Wolf lifted her head.
Her soft mnxzle touched the wound on
his neck, and in the gentleness of that
touch, In the low sound in her throat,
Kaxan felt and heard again that won
derful something that had come with
the caress of the wpman's hand and
the sound Of her voice.
He turned, whining. his back bris-
Ting, his head high and defiant Of the
wilderness which he faced. Gray Wolf
trotted close at his side as they en-
tered into the gloom of the forest.

Oe f0relegs. HIS teeth snapped on
empty air. With the nimbleness of
cat the wolf had gone completely over
his back.
The trick had failed. and with a
rumble Of the dog-snarl in his throat.
Kazan reached the wolf In a single
bound. They met breast to breast.
Their fangs FLASHED and with the whole
weight Of his body, Kazan flung him
self against the VOLTS shoulders,
cleared his jaws, and struck again for
the throat hold. 1t was another miss
by hairs breadth-and before he
could recover, the VOLTS teeth were
buried In the back OF his neck.
For the first time in his life Kazan
felt the terror and the pain of the
death-grip, and with mighty effort he
flung his head little forward and
snapped blindly. His powerful jaws
closed on the VOLTS fOreleg, close to
the body. There was q cracking Of
bone and q crunching Of flesh, and the
circle Of waiting wolves grew tense and
alert. One or the other Of the fighters
was sure to 90 down before the holds
were broken. and they but awaited
that fatal fall a. a signal to leap in
to the death.
Only the thickness Of hair and hide
ON the back Of Kazan's neck, and the
toughness Of his muscles, saved him
from that terrible fate Of the van
pushed. The VOLTS teeth sank deep.
but not deep enough to reach the vital
spot and suddenly Kaxan put every
ounce of strength In his limbs to the
effort, and flung himself up bodily from
under his antagonist. The grip on his
neck relaxed, and with another rearing
leap he tore himself free.
Al swift AZ q whip-lash he whirled
on the broken-legged leader Of the pack
and with the full rush and weight Of
his shoulders struck him fairly In the
dde. More deadly than the throat-grfp
had Kaxan sometimes found the lunge
when delivered 1t the right moment. It
was deadly now. The big gray wolf

an instant, and the pack rushed in,
eager to rend the last of life from the
leader whose power had ceased to
exist.
From out Of that gray, snarling,
bloody-lipped mass, Kaxan drew back,
painting and bleeding. He was weak.
There was a curious sickness in his
head He wanted to lie down In the
mow. But the old and infallible In.
stinct warned him mot to betray that
weakness From ont Of the pack slim.

and lay down in the snow before him,
and then rose swiftly and smiled at his
wounds.
She was young and strong and beau
tiful but Kaxan did not look at her.
Where the fight had been he was look
Ing, at what little remained Of the old
leader. The pack had returned to the
feast. He heard again the cracking Of
bones and the rending Of assh. and
something told him that thereafter all
the wilderness would hear and recog-
nise his voice, and that when he sat
back On his launches and called to the
moon and ths starr. those swift-footed
hunters Of the big plain would respond
to It. He circled twice about the carl
bon and the pack, and them trotted on
to the edge Of the black spruce forest.
When he reached the shadows he
looked back Gray Wolf was following
him. She was only . few yards be-
hind. And now - came mp to him, q
little timidly. and she, too. looked back
to the dark blotcA Of life out on the
lake. And - she stood there close be-
stde him. Kasan emitted at something
In the air that was not the scent OF
blood, nor the perfume cf the balsam
and spruce. It was a thing that seemed
to come to him from the clear stars,
the cloudless moon, the strange and
beautiful quiet Of the night itself. And
It's presence seemed to be . part Of
Gray Wolf.
He looked at her. and he found Gray
VOLTS eyes alert and questioning. She
was young-so young that she seemed
scarcely to have passed out Of puppy
hood. Her body was strong and slim
and beautifully shaped. In the moon

and stood with his head over her back,

against his chest. He looked at the
moon and the stars again, the mystery
