He lay down in the snow, deposit
ing the ptarmigan beside him. and
with eyes peering through the nee
dies OF a lowgrowing spruce he
watched the play of life before him
the waiting lynx and the waiting
porcupine, each intent on life; and.
such was the curiousness Of the
game, the way of life for one lay in
the eating of the other, and the way
of life for the other lay in being not
eaten: While old One Eye. the wolf.
crouching in the covert, played his
part, too, in the game, waiting for
some strange freak of chance, thta
might help him on the meat trail
which was his way of life.
Half an hour passed, an hour: and
nothing happened. rhe ball Of quills
might have been d stone for all it
moved; the link might have been
dead. Yet all three animals were
keyed to a tenseness of living that
would it come to them to be more
alive. than they were then in their
seeming petrifaction.
One Eye moved slightly and peered
forth with Increased eagerness.
Something was happening. The por-
cupine had at last decided that it's
enemy had gone away. Slowly, eau
tiously, it was unrolling its ball Of
impregnable armor. 1t was agitated
by no tremor of anticipation. Slowly,
slowly, the bristling ball straight
ened out and heightened. One Eye,
watching, felt sudden moistness in
his mouth and a dropping OF saliva,
involuntary. excited by the living
meat that was spreading itself like
repast for him.
Not quite entirely had the porcu-
pine unrolled when ii discovered it's
enemy. In that instant the lynx
struck. The blow was like a fash of
light. The paw. with rigid claws
curying like talons, shot under the
tender belly and came back with a
swift ripping movement. Had the
porcupine been entirely unrolled or
had it not discovered its enemy a
fraction of second before the blow
was struck, the paw would have es-
capped unscathed; but a side-fiick of
the tail sank sharp Quills into it as IL
Everything had happened at once
the blow, the counter-blow, the
squeal of agony from the porcupine,
the big cats squall of sudden hurt
and astonishment. One Eye half
arose in his excitement, his ears up,
his tail straight out and quivering
behind him. The lynx's bad temper
got the best of her. She sprang saw
agely at the thing that had hurt her.
But the porcupine, squealing and
grunting, with disrupted anatomy
trying feebly to roll up into it's ball
pf election, ficked out its tail again,
and again the big cat squalled with
hurt and establishment. Then she fell
to backing away and sneezing, her
