IN the final moment, when only q step
separated them, and when men ex-
pected to see the first mad lunge, the
splendid Dane slowly raised his head
and looked over Kazan's back through
the glare Of the lights. Harker trem-
bled, and under his breath he cursed.
The Danes throat was open to Kazan.
But between the beasts had passed the
voiceless pledge Of peace. Kazan did
not leap. he turned. And shoulder to
shoulder-splendid in their contempt of
man-they stoM and looked through
the bars of their prison into the one of
human faces.
A roar burst from the crowd-a roar
of anger, of demand, Of threat. In his
rage Harker drew a revolver and
leveled it at the Dane. Above the tu-
multi of the crowd q single voice
stopped him.
Hold r. it demanded. "Hold-in the
name of the lawI"
For q moment there was silence.
Every face turned in the direction of
the voice. Two men stood on chairs
behind the last row. One was Sergeant
Brokaw Of the Royal Northwest
Mounted. 1t was he who had spoken.
He was holding up hand, command
ing silence and attention. On the chair
beside him stood another man. He was
thin, with dropping shoulders, and a
pale smooth face-a little man, whose
physique and hollow cheeks told moth
ing Of the years he had spent close up
along the raw edge Of the Arctic. 1t
was he who spoke now, while the SER
geant held up his hand. His voice was
low and quiet:
"I'n give the owners five hundred
dollars for those dogs" he said.
Every man in the room heard the Of
fer. Harker looked at Sandy. For an
instant their heads were close together.
'"rhey won't fight, and they'll make
good teammates" the little man went
on. "Ill give the owners five hundred
dollars"
Harker raised hand.
"Make It SIX" he said. Make 1t six
and they're yours"
The little man hesitated. Then he
nodded.
I'll give you six hundred" he
agreed.
| Murmurs of discomfort rose through
out the crowd. Harker climbed to the
edge of the platform.

wouldn't fight" he shouted, "but If

Federal SERVICE SHOWS
MORE SUGAR CONSUMED

Returns from the first war
emergency food survey made by
the q. 8. department Of agricul-
ture indicates that the amount
Of sugar consumed In 1917
was about SS.3 pounds per
capita whereas the average
annual consumption for the
five-year period ending in 1915
was BAT pounds per capita. The
evident Increase In consumption,
says the department, is due In
\part to the increased manufac-
ture for export Of commodities
like condensed milk and to an
increase in population coupled
with an Increased consumption
by individuals and to an IN
crease in consumers stocks.

CHAPTER XVII.
Alone In Darkness.

Never had the terror and loneliness
Of blindness fallen upon Gray Wolf
as in the days that followed the shoot
ing of Kazan and his capture by Sandy
McTrigger. For hours after the shot
she crouched In the bush back from
the river. waiting for him to come to
her. She had faith that he would
come. a. he had come a thousand
times before, and she lay close on her
belly, smiling the air, and whining
when 1t brought no scent Of her mate.
Day and night were alike an endless
chaos Of darkness to her now, but she
knew when the sun went down. She
sensed the first deepening shadows of
evening, and she knew that the stars
were out, and that the river lay In
moonlight. 1t was q night to roam.
and after q time she moved restless
ly about In q small circle on the plain,
and sent out her first inQuiring call
for Kazan. Up from the river came
the pungent odor Of smoke, and In
stinctively she knew that 1t was this
smoke. and the nearpess Of man, that
was keeping Ka1an from her. But
she went no nearer than taat first CIR
Gle made BY her padded ieet. Blind
ness had taught her to wait. Since
the day Of the battle on the Sun Rock,
when the lynx had destroyed her eyes,
Kaxan had never failed her. Three

Goal Set for 1918.

One billion five hundred million

A goal has been set for the 1918
home Gamers. The stupendous size
Of it might make 1t appear impossible
Of attainment were 1t not for the fact
that the American family's ability to
can, in a patriotic situation, has been
demonstrated. The great canning ef-
fort for the year 1917 has been esti-
mated at 1000, 900 packs by officials
Of the United States department Of
agriculture. But there are still thou

Pack for Last Year.
The method of arriving at the esti-
mated countrywide pack for last year
10 interesting. Eight Of the principal
concerns in the United States manu-
featuring rubber jar rings reported
production for use in home canning
Of SS6, ,7e1 ,24s rubber rings. Retailers
and jobbers, 1t is understood, carried
over Prom the year 1916 large supply
Of rubber jar rings. Taking into ac-
count the special caps that were sold
and the use Of jar rings a second time.
the officials believe 1t is safe to esti-
mate the number of packs made in
homes last year at $4,000, 900.
Quart Jar for Canning.
Canning in most homes IL done In
quart Jars. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the two-quart packs may be used
to offset the pint packs, specialists
say, and that therefore the total pack
estimated might safely be expressed in
quarts. Placing a general average
value Of 20 cents a quart upon this
product. the estimated value Of her
metically sealed food canned In homes
IL $17O,OOO,O0O. In most cases this
food was produced on the farm or in
the backyard garden, was canned in
the family kitchen, stored in the pan
try, and ia being consumed in the
home. The transportation facilities Of
the country were not taxed In the pro-
tluction of this food and in most cases
It was produced on soil that otherwise
would have been idle. with labor that
would have been unable to flnd useful
employment.
