howl he had sent forth from the
chasm: it was positive, certain. In
the chasm his cry had been tempered
with doubt-a questioning hope, some
thing that was so almost human that
McTaggart had shivered on the trail.
But Baree knew what lay in that
freshly dug snow-covered grave. A
scant three feet of earth could not
hide its secret from him. There was
death-definite and unequivocal. But
for Nepeese he was still hoping and
seeking.
Until noon he did not go far from
the cabin, but only once did he actu-
ally approach and, sniff about the black
pile Of steaming timbers. Again and
again he circled the edge of the clear
ing, keeping just within the bush and
timber, smiling the air and listening,
Twice he went back to the chasm.
Late In the afternoon there came to
him sudden impulse that carried him
swiftly through the forest. He did not
run openly now; caution, suspicion
and fear had reused in him afresh the
instincts of the wolf. With his ears
fiatrened against the side of his head,
his tail dropping until the tip of it
dragged the snow and his back sag
ging in the curious, evasive gait of
the wolf, he scarcely made himself dis
tinguishable from the shadows of the
spruce and balsams.
There was no faltering in the trail
Baree made; 1t was straight as a rope
might have been drawn through the
forest, and it brought him, early in the
dusk, to the open spot where Nepeese
had fed with him that day she had
pushed McTaggart over the edge of
the precipice into the pool In the
place Of the balsam shelter Of that
day there was now water-tight birch
bark tepee which Pierrot had helped
the Willow to make during the sum-
mer. Baree went straight to It and
thrust In his head with a low and
expectant whine.
There was no answer. It was dark
and cold in the tepee. He could make
out indistinctly the two blankets that
were always In it. the row of big tin
boxes in which Nepeese kept their

cles twitched as the truth grew in
him; and at last he raised his head
slowly until his black muzzle pointed
to the white storm in the sky, and out
Of his throat there went forth the
quavering, long-drawn howl of the
husky who mourns outside the tepee
Of master who is newly dead.
On the trail, heading for Lac Balm,
Bush McTaggart heard that cry and
shivered.
1t was the smell Of smoke, thicken-
ing in the air until 1t stung his nos
trils, that drew Baree at last away
from the chasm and back to the cabin.
There was not much left when he
came to the clearing. Where the
cabin had been was red-hot, smolder-
ing mass For long time he sat
watching it, still waiting and still
listening. He no longer felt the eff
feet of the bullet that had stunned
him. but his senses were undergoing
another change now, as strange and
unreal as their struggle against that
darkness Of near-death in the cabin
In space that had not covered more
than an hour the world had twisted
itself grotesquely for Baree. That
long ago the Willow was sitting be-
fore her little mirror in the cabin
talking to him and laughing in her
happiness, while he lay in vast con-
tentment on the floor. And now there
was no cabin, no Nepeese, no Pierrot
He did not go nearer to the smolder-
ing mass of the cabin. but Sinking
low, made his way about the circle of
the open to the dog-corral. This took
him under the tall spruce. For a full
minute he paused here, shifting at the
freshly made mound under its white
mantle of snow. When he went on,
he skunk still lower, and his ears were
fiat against his head
The dog-corral was open and empty.
McTaggart had seen to that. Again
Baree squatted back on his launches
and sent forth the death-howl. This
time it was for Pierrot. In it there
was different note from that Of the

Odd Slavery Conditions

There is much corroborative testi-
mony ard numerous references to the
facts that there were at the outbreak
Of the Civil war a very large number
of free negroes and that these me-
groes in many cases owned property
and slaves. These latter, however,
were usually members of their fami-
lies whom they had redeemed and
whom they held as slaves technically
on account of the laws Of many states
which prohibited the manumitted
slaves from remaining in the state or
territory. In many cases the slave
holder, while himself originally q
slave, had received his freedom be-
fore certain laws went into effect
which were not retroactive.
