WIZARD relighted the fire, whlcn
wv had gone out long ago, and set
the dishpan on the stove with
water to heat. He remade his bunk,
spreading on the army blanket which
he took from the saddle on Rather.
He swept the floor as neatly as any
woman could have done 1t and laid
two wolf skins down in their places
where they did duty as rugs He
washed and wiped his few dishes,
keeping Bucks knife always within
reach and sending an inquiring glance
toward Buck whenever that unhappy
man made the slightest movement,
though, truth to tell, Buck did not
make many. He brought two pals Of
water and set them on the bench in
side, and in the meantime he had cook
ed mess of prunes and set them In a
bowl on the window sill beside his
bunk, where the air was coolest. He
stropped his razor painstakingly and
shaved himself In leisurely fashion and
sent an occasional glance toward his
prisoner from the looking glass, which
made Buck swallow hard at his Ad-
ans apple.
And Buck during all this time never
once opened his lips, except to lick his
tongue across them, and never once
took his eyes Off Ward.

prove I'm not joshing."
Buck swallowed again, but he made
no reply.
Ward washed his face in basin Of
steaming water, got can of talcum
out of the dish cupboard and took the
soap shine off his cheeks and chin. He
combed his hair before the little mir
ror, trying unavailingly to take the
wave out of it with water and leaving
it more crinkly over his temples thar
it had been in the first place, and re
tied the four-in-hand under the sof
collar of his shirt.
II wish you'd talk, Buck" he said
turning toward the other. He looked
very boyish and almost handsome, ex
cept for the expression of his eyes
which gave Buck the shivers, and thu
set of his lips, which was cruel. 'T'v'
