KAZAN
The Story of a Dog
That Turned Wolf
CHAPTER xVIlI.-continued.
By
James Oliver Curwood
Copyrisht Bebbs-Msrin Co.

Silently, swiftly-the wolf now in
every movement, Kazan came to his
feet. He forgot the chain that held
him. Ten feet away stood the enemy
he hated above all others he had ever
known. Every ounce Of strength in
his splendid body gathered itself for
the spring. And then he leaped. This
time the chain did not pull him back.
almost neckbroken. Age and the ele-
ments had weakened the leather col
lar he had worn since the days of his
slavery in the traces. and 1t gave way
with a snap. Sandy turned, and in
second leap Kazan's fapgs sank into
the flesh of his arm.
With startled cry the man fell,
and as they rolled over on the ground
the big Danes deep voice rolled out
in thunderous alarm as he tugged at
his leash. In the fall Kazan's hold was
broken. In an instant he was on his
feet, ready for another attack. And
then the change came. He was free.
The collar was gone from his neck.
The forest, the stars. the whispering
wind were all about him. Here were
men, and of there was-Gray Wolf l
His ears dropped, and he turned swift
ly, and slipped like a shadow back into
the glorious freedom Of his world.
A hundred yards away something
stopped him for an instant. 1t was
not the big Danes voice, but the sharp
k-crack-crack, Of the little pro-
fessor's automatic. And above that
sound there rose the voice of Sandy
McTrlgger In q weird and terrible
cry.

bit, and for hours after ne had feasted
he lay close to his kill, and slept.
Then he went on.
The fourth night he came to the
little valley between the two ridges,
and under the stars, more brilliant
now In the chill clearness Of the early
autumn nights, he followed the creek
down into their old swamp home. 1t
was broad day when he reached what
had once been his home and Gray
VOLTS, and for many minutes Kazan
stood silent and motionless smiling the
air. Until now his spirit had remained
unbroken. Footsore. with thinned sides
and gaunt head, he circled slowly
through the swamp. All that day ne
searched. And his crest lay fiat now,
and there was a hunted look In the
droop of his shoulders and In the shift
Ing look Of his eyes. Gray Wolf was
gone.
Slowly nature was impinging that
fact upon him. She had passed out
Of his world and out of his life, and
he was filed with a loneliness and
grief SO great that the forest seemed
strange, and the stiffness Of the wild
a thing that now oppressed and fright
ened him. Once more the dog in him
was mastering the wolf. With Grey
Wolf he had possessed the world Of
freedom. Without her, that world was
SO big and strange and empty that it
appalled, him. K
Late in the afternoon he came upon
little pile of crushed clam shells on
the shore of the stream. He shifted
ut them-turned away-went back.
and shifted agnin. But the scent she
had left behind was not strong enough
to tell Kazan. and for second time
he turned away. That night he skunk
under log, and cried himself to
sleep. Deep in the night he grieved in
his uneasy slumber, like a child. And
day after day, and night after night,
Kazan remained Sinking creature Of
the big swamp, mourning for the one
creature that had brought him out of
chaos into light, who had filled his
world for him, and who. in going from
him, had taken from this world even
the things that Gray Wolf had lost in
her blindness.

wild flower transplanted from the
depths Of the wilderness. Her cheeks
were thin. Her blue eyes had lost
their luster. She coughed, and when
she coughed the man looked at her
with love and fear In his eyes. But
now, slowly, the man had begun to
see the transformation, and on the day
their canoe pointed up the stream and
into the wonderful valley that had
been their home before the call of the
distant city came to them, he noted
the flush gathering once more In her
cheeks, the fuller redness Of her lips,
and the gathering glow Of happiness
and content in her eyes. He laughed
softly as he saw these things, and he
blessed the forests. In the canoe she
had leaned back. with her head al
most against his shoulder, and. he
stopped padding to. draw her to him,
and run his fingers, through the soft
golden masses of her hair.
"You are happy ngain. Joan." he
laughed joyously. "The doctors were
right. You are part of the forests"
ayes, I am happy" she whispered.
and suddenly there came little thrill
into her voice, and she pointed to
white finger of sand running out into
the stream. "Do you remember-years
and years ago. 1t seems-that Kazan
left us here? She was on the sand
over there, calling to him. Do you
rememberr There was little trem-
BILE about her mouth, and she added, II
they-have gone"
The cabin was as they had left 1t.
Only the crimson bakneesh had grown
up about It, and shrubs and tall grass
had sprung up near its walls. Once
more 1t took on life, and day by day
the color came deeper into Joan's
cheeks, and her voice was filled with
Its old wild sweetness Of song. Joan's
husband cleared the trails over his old
trap-lines, and Joan and the little Joan
the cabin into home. One
night the man returned to the cabin
late, and when he came In there was

greeted him.
