 scarcely remembered it now. His
 whole purpose was to return to Snow
 bird before the wolves lost the last of
 their cowardice.
 The jerked venison that he had
 munched had brought him back much
 of his strength. He was wholly uncon- scfous of his heavy pack. Never did
 he glide so swiftly, so softly. with such unerring step; and it was noth- ing more or less than a perfect eXpreS- sion of the iron-clad control that his steel nerves bad over his muscles.
 Then. through the silence, he heard the shout of the pack as the wolf had leaped at Snowbird. He knew what it meant. The wolves were attacking then, and great flood of black, hating bitterness poured over him at the thought he had been too late. It had all been in vain and before the thought could fully go home, he heard the dim, far-off crack of pistol.
 Was that the first of the three shots the one she might expend on the wolves, or had the first two already been spent and was she taking the last gateway of escape? Perhaps even now Lennox was lying still on the sled. and she was standing before the ruin of her fire, praying that her soul might have wings. He shouted with all the power Of his lungs across the snow.
 But Snowbird only heard the soft glide of the wolves in the snow. The wind was blowing toward Dan; and while he had heard the loud chorus Of the pack. one Of the most far-carrying cries. and the penetrating crack of a o1 -l~. shout. In fact, the wilderness seemed l still. All was breath | less. heavy with suspense and she 1 stood. just as.

 He looked very calm and brave. half raised as he was on the sled. and per- haps a half-smile fingered at his beard ed lips.

 The strain was over. They knew what they had to face. She put the pistol in his steady hand.

 "Besides.; Lennox added. "ft would clip my Snowbird's wings to make her live the plains. My big house will be rebuilt, children. There will be- fires in the fire place on the fall nights. There is no use of thinking Of the plains"
 And there's going to be a smaller hOuse-just cottage at frst-righf beside it," Dan replied. He could go back to his forests. after all. He wouldn't have to throw away his birth right, fought for so hard; and it seemed to him no other occupation could offer much as that of the for est rangers-those silent, cool-nerve0 guardians of the forest and keepers of its keys.
 For a long time Snowbird and he stood together at the edge of the fire light, their bodies warm from the glow, their hearts brimming with words they could not utter. Words always come hard to the mountain people. They are folk of action. and Dan. rath-l CT than to words, trusted to the yearn- ing of his arms

 He claimed it; and in open defiance to all civil law, he collected fully 100 times in the next few minutes But it didn't particularly matter. and Snow bird didn't even turn her face. May be you've forgotten you claimed it when you first came back, too." she said.
 So he had. It had completely slipped his mind. in the excitement of his fight with the wolf pack. And then while Lennox pretended to be asleep, they sat, breathlesS with happiness, on the edge of the sled and watched the dawn come out.
 They had never seen the snow so lovely in the sunlight.

 But after you get down in the val leys:" Lennox asked anxiously. Are you and Snowbird coming up here to live?"
 The silence fell over their camp: and wounded wolf whined in the dark ness. Do you think I could leave it now?" Dan asked. By no gift of words could he have explained why; yet he knew that by token of his conquest, his spirit was welded to the dark for ests forever. But heaven knows what I'll do for a living.'
 Snowbird crept near him. and her eyes shone in the bright fire light. Eve solved that,' she said. "You know you studied forestry-and I told the supervisor at the station how much you knew about it.

but it chopped off short. For with half-sob, and seemingly without men tai process, she aimed her pistol and fired.
 A fast-leaping wolf is one of the most difficult pistol targets that can be ina gined. It bordered on the mira cu- lous that she did not miss him alto gether. Her nerves were torn, their control over her muscles largely gone. Yet the bullet cOursed down through the lungs, infiicting a mortal wound.
 The wolf had 1eaped for her throat; but he fell short. She staggered from q blow, and she heard & curious sound in the region of her hip. But she didn't know that the fangs had gone home in her soft flesh. The wolf rolled on the ground; and if her pistol had possessed the shocking power of a rife, he would have never got up again. As It was, he shrieked once, then sped off in the darkness to die. Five or six of the nearest wolves, catching the smell of his blood. bayed and sped after him.
 But the remainder of the great pack fully 15 of the gray, gaunt creatures came stealing across the snow to- ward her. White fangs had gone home; and new madness was in the air.
 
 Straining into the silence, a perfect ly straight line between CranstOn's camp and Snowbird's, Dan Failing came mushing across the snow. His sense of direction had never been obliged to stand such test as this before. Snowbird's fire was single dot on vast plateau; yet he had gone straight toward it. He was riSking everything for the sake of speed. He gave no heed to the fallen timber that might have torn the web of his snow shoes to shredS. Be- cause he shut out all thought of it, he had no feeling of fatigue. The fight with CraDston had been & frightful |

 She was wholly unable to gain on the fire. Only by dint of the most rt-breaking toll was she able to se- cure any dry fuel for it at all. Every length of wood she cut had to be scraped of bark. and half the time the fire was only a sickly column of white smoke. It became increasingly diffi- cult to swing the ax. The trail was almost at its end
 The after-midnight hours drew one by one across the face of the wilder ness, and she thought that the deep ening cold presaged dawn. Her fin- gers were numb.
 Once more she went to one of the saplings, but she stumbled and almost went to her face at the first blow. It was the instant that her gray watch CTS had been waiting for. The wolf that stood nearest leaped-a gray streak out of the shadow-and every wolf in the pack shot forward with a yell. It was a short, expectant cry;
