but few winged fittings of birds;
there was almost no sound. Then he
came to still larger pond. Around
this pond there was thick growth
of alders and willows; the larger trees
had thinned out. He saw the glimmer
of afternoon sunlight on the water
and then, all at once, he heard life.
There had been few changes in
Beaver-tooth's colony since the days
of his feud with Kazan and the Others
Old Beaver-tooth was still older He
was fatter. He slept a great deal,
was doing on the great midland
brushwood dam of which he had been
engineer in chief, when Baree came
out softly on high bank thirty or
forty feet away. So noiseless had
Baree been that none of the beavers
had seen or heard him. He squatted
himself fiat on his belly, hidden be-
hind a tuft of grass, and with eager
interest watched every movement

then he tilted himself up on his broad
fiat tail like soldier at attention, and
with a sudden whistle dived into the
pond with great splash.
In another moment it.. seemed to
Baree that the pond was alive with
beavers. Heads and bodies appeared
and disappeared, rushing this way and
that through the water in a manner
that amazed and puzzled him. 1t was

the water like fiat boards. Odd whis-
things rose above the splashing-and
then as suddenly as 1t had begun, the
play came to an end. There were
probably twenty beavers, not counting
the young, and as If guided by a COM
mon signal-something which BARGE
had not heard-they became so quiet
that hardly a sound could be heard
in the pond. A few of them sank I'M

as they drew themselves out on shore.
The beavers lost no time in getting
at their labor, and Baree watched and
listened without so much as rustling
blade of the grass in which he was
concealed. He was trying to under
stand. He was striving to place these
curious and notwithstanding crea-
lures in his knowledge of things. And
then, close under him-not more than
ten feet from where he lay-he saw
something that almost gave voice to
the puppyish longing for companion
ship that was in him.
Down there, on clean strip of the
shore that rose out of the soft mud of
the pond, waddled fat little Umisk and

The wings made a great tumuit
about Baree, but they did not hurt
him. He buried his fangs deeper. His
snarls rose more fiercely as he got the
taste of Oohoomisew's blood, and
through him there surged more holly
the desire to kill this monster OF the
night, as though in the death of this
creature he had the opportunity of
avenging himself for all the hurts and
hardships that had befallen him since
he lost his mother.
Oohoomisew had never felt great
fear until now. The lynx had snapped
at him but once-and was gone, leav-
ing him crippled. But the lynx had
not snarled in that wolfish way, and it
had not hung on. A thousand and one
nights Oohoomisew had listened to
the wolf-howl Instinct had told him
what it meant. He had seen the
packs pass swiftly through the night,
and always when they passed he had
kept in the deepest shadows. To him,
as for all other wild things the wolf
howl stood for death. But until now,
with Baree's fangs buried in his leg,
he had never sensed fully the wolf
fear. 1t had taken it years to enter
into his slow, stupid head--but now
that it was there, it possessed him as
no other thing had ever possessed him
in all his life.
Suddenly Oohoomisew ceased his
beating and launched himself upward,
Like huge fans his powerful wings
churned the air. and Baree felt him
self lifted suddenly from the earth.
Still he held on-and in a moment
both bird and beast fell back with a
thud.
Oohoomisew tried again. This time
he was more successful, and he rose
fully six feet into the air with BARGE.
They fell again. A third time the old
outlaw fought to wing himself free of
Baree's grip; and then. exhausted, he
lay with his giant wings outspread,
: kissing and cracking his bill.
Under those wings Baree's mind
worked with the swift instincts of the
killer. Suddenly ne changed ms nold,
burying his fangs into the under part
of Oohoomisew's body. They sank
into three inches of feathers. Swift as
Baree had been, Oohoomisew was
equally swift to take advantage of
his opportunity. In an instant he had
swooped upward. There was jerk,
rending of feathers from fesh-and
Baree was alone on the field of battle.
Baree had not killed, but he had
conquered. His first great day-or
Dnight-had come. The world was
filled with new promise for him, as
vast as the night itself. And after a
moment he sat back on his launches,
shifting the air for his beaten enemy j:
and then, as if defying the feathered
monster to come back and fight to the
end, he pointed his sharp little muzzle
to the stars and sent forth his first
babyish wolf-howl into the night.

Chapter III

Baree's fight with Oohoomisew was
good medicine for him. 1t not only
gave him great confidence in himself.
but it also cleared the fever of ugli-
ness from his blood. He no longer
snapped and snarled at things as he
went on through the night.
His wound was much less painful
the next day, and by nightfall he
scarcely had noticed it at all. Since
his almost tragic end at the hands of
Nepeese, he had been travelling in a
general northeasterly direction, follow
ing instinctively the run Of the water
ways; but his progress had been slow,
and when darkness came again he was
not more than eight or ten miles from
the hole into which he had fallen after
the Willow had shot him.
All sounds now held meaning for
Baree. Swiftly he was coming into
his knowledge of the wilderness. His
eyes cleaned; his blood thrilled. For
many minutes at a time he scarcely
moved. But of all the sounds that

that it was like whisper, dying away
almost before 1t reached him; and
then again it would come to him full

chase, calling him to the red thrill of
