course of Baree's life, just as the
binding of Gray Wolf had changed
hers. The creek ran close past the
stub, which had been shriven by light
ming; and this stub stood In still,
dark place in the forest, surrounded
by tail, black spruce and enveloped in
gloom even in broad day. Many times
Baree had gone to the edge of this
mysterious bit of forest and had
peered in curiouSly. and with q grow
ing desire.
On this day Of his great battle Its
lure was overpowering. Little by little
he entered into it, his eyes shining
brightly and his ears alert for the
slightest sounds that might come out
of 1t. His heart beat faster The
gloom enveloped him more. He forgot
the windfall and Kazan and Gray
Wolf Here before him lay the thrill
of adventure. He heard stranger
sounds, but very soft sounds, rs if
made by padded feet and downy
wings. and they filled him with a
thrilling expectancy. Under his feet
there were no grass or weeds or flow
ers. but wonderful brown carpet of
soft evergreen needles. They felt
good to his feet, and were so velvety
that he could not hear his own move
ment.
He was fully three hundred yards
from the windfall when he passed

Chapter II

To Papayuchisew, after his first
mouthful Of water. the stream was al
most as safe rs the air, for he went
sailing down 1t with the lightness of a
gull, wondering in his thinking
big head why he was moving so swift
ly and so pleasantly without any effort
of his own.
To Baree it was different matter.
He went down almost like stone. A
mighty roaring filled his ears; it was
dark. suffocating. terrible. In the
swift current he was twisted over and
over. For twenty feet he was under
water. Then he rose to the surface
and desperately began using his legs.
1t was Of little use. He had only time
to blink once or twice and catch
lungful Of air when he shot into cur
rent that was running like millrace
between the butts Of two fallen trees.
and for another twenty feet the sharp
est eyes could not have seen hair or
hide of him. He came up again at the
edge of a shallow rifle over which the
water ran like the rapids at Niagara
in miniature, and for fifty or sixty
yards he was flung like hairy ball.
From this he was hurled into deep.
cold pool; and then-half dead-he
found himself crawling out on
gravelly bar.
For long time BARGE lay there in
a pool of sunshine without moving.
His ear hurt him; his nose was raw,
and burned as If he had thrust 1t into
fire. His legs and body were sore,
and as he began to wander along the
gravel bar, he was the most wretched
pup in the world. He was also COM
pletely turned around. In vain he
looked about him for some familiar
something that might guide
him back to his windfall home. Every.
thing was strange. He did not know
that the water had flung him out on
the wrong side of the stream, and that
to reach the windfall he would have
to cross it again. He whined, but that
was as loud as his voice rose. Gray
Wolf could have heard his barking,
for the windfall was not more than
two hundred and fifty yards up the
stream. But the wolf in Baree held
him silent. except for his low whining.
Striking the main shore, Baree be-
gan going downstream. This was away
from the windfall, and each step that
he took carried him farther and far
Their from home. At the end Of half
an hour Baree wocld even have well
coined Papayuchisew. And he would
not have fought him-he would have
inquired, II possible. the way back
home.
