In primitive days the wolf roamed
over an area of about 100000
SQUARE miles. There were something
like 100000 animals distributed
over Alaska, Canada and the United
States, with the exception OF what
are now the States of Nevada ana
California. Wolves are said to be
the widest rangers in North Amer
lea of any other large land animal.
AS the country became more and
more needed for humans and cattle
men found they had to cope with
wise and canny killers, bounties were
offered to those who would assist
in lessening the number OF wolves.
Man has been the animals most
relentless foe. Parasites, lack OF
food, and eagles, which carry OH the
cubs, have combined to keep the
number down.
"A good father Is good husband
among animals" is the statement by
Q student of wildlife. This Is es-

CHAPTER 10,

A thousand fears assailed Claire
as she crouched on the cot in the
little secret room waiting for Roland
to leave the fiat. Listening intently,
: she could hear his voice mingled
with those of Frau Weber and her
daughter Lili. She twisted her
handkerchief in her hands. fighting
TOR self-control.
Suppose Bill Cameron should
come while Roland was there? She
had no doubt that Roland would
Immediately denounce him-call the
brown-shirted police, and Cameron
would be marched off to face fir
ing squad.
Claire had no way of knowing
that Frau Weber had prepared
against just such an eventuality.
That secret signal had been ar
ranged which was passed on to
Cameron. If he came stumbling
into the place now. it would be only
because he was closely pursued or
had failed to see the narrow edge
OF white paper that had been slipped
under the door, an end protruding
into the hall. This was the signal
arranged earlier in the day, the
signal of danger.
To Roland or to any one else, it
would appear to be merely scrap
Of paper which had been carelessly
dropped. To Cameron, it would
mean that some one was in the fiat
to stay in hiding until the paper
was removed.
Frau Weber Nervous.
1t was nearly 7:30 when Claire
was startled by light tap OIL the
wall and heard Lii calling in a low
voice that the visitor had gone.
Claire unlocked the lever which slid
back the wall panel and stepped
out into the bedroom.
Frau Weber was plainly nervous,
although she tried to conceal it, she
had taken up her knitting and her
needles were flying, although Claire
couldn't help but notice that she
often glanced toward the outer door
of the fat-the door through which
Bill Cameron would come If he
came.
"Oh, Frau Weber, do you think
anythings gone wrong?" Claire
asked, her anxiety reflected in her
voice.
II don't know, my dear" the
older woman answered, oruthfuliy.
II do know, though. it was fortunate
that Herr Cameron did not come
little early. If he had, he would
have met Herr Roland-snd that
would have been fatal"
She glanced at the door.
The way is clear now" she went
on. II had a signal placed to warn
Herr Cameron away if he had come
while our visitor was here" She ex-
planned about the paper, and Claire
saw that the floor under, the door
was now clear.
What will I do If anything has
happened to him?"
We'll see that you get back to
Paris" Frau Weber said.
I'm not thinking about myself
The Buzzer Sounds.
The buzzer sounded in the room
and although it had been muffled
so that it was barely discernible, it
seemed so sharp, coming when 1t
did, and the three women started up
impulsively.
"Some ones coming. Get out of
sight," the woman ordered, and
Claire scurried into the bedroom,
through the wall and slid the panel
In place.
Straining her ears. she heard the
front door open-the sound of
voices. Then she heard the door
slam shut. She had unlocked the
