J o s s , and am? iw'uj . Kazan sumnits to adoption th rough kindness. P ie r re Is nea r dea th .

CHAPTER VIII—Continued.

N Kazan 's alert eyes s aw P ie r r e s t a r t

suddenly. H e rose f r o m his sea t on t h e sledge and went to the t en t . H e d r e w back tbe flap and th rus t in h is hea t ' and shoulders.

"Asleep. Joan?" be ask ad. "Almost, f a the r . Won ' t you p lease

come—soon?" "Af t e r I smoke," h e said. "Are you

comfor tab le?" WE ' "Yes. I'm so t i red—and—sleepy—" P ie r r e laughed soft ly. In t h e da rk -

n e s s h e was gripping a t h is th roa t . "We ' r e almost home. Joan . T h a t Is

o u r river out there—the Li t t le Beaver . I f I should run away and leave you to-n igh t you could follow i t r ight to our cabin . I t ' s only for ty miles. D o you h e a r ? "

"Yes—I know—** I For ty miles—straight down the

r iver . You couldn't lose yours t l f . Joan . Only you'd have to be ca re fu l of air-holes in the Ice."

"Won ' t you come to hed. f a t h e r ? ^ ou ' re t ired—and almost sick."

e a — a f t e r I smoke." h e repeated . " Joan , will you keep reminding ine to-morrow of the airholes? I might for-get . You can a lways tell them, fo r t h e snow and the crus t over them a r e w h i t e r tlian on the rest of the ice, anil l ike a sponge. Will you remember— i h e airholes—"

"Yes-s-s—" P ie r r e dropped tbe tent-f lap und re-

tu rned to the flre. H e s taggered as h e walked.

"Good night, boy." h e said. "Guess I 'd bet ter go in with t h e kids. T w o d a y s more—forty miles—two days—**

K a z a n wntched him a s h e en te red t h e tent . He laid h is weight aga ins t t h e end of his chain unt i l t he collar •'shut off his wind. His legs a n d buck twitched. Is that teat where Rauisson h a d gone were J o a n and the baby. H e k n e w tha t Pier re would not hu r t them, b u t he knew. also, tha t wi th P i e r r e Radtsson something te r r ib le and im-pend ing was hovering very nea r to (hem. H e wanted t h e m a n outside— by t h e flre—where h e could lie still, a u d watch him.

In the tent there was silence. Near-e r to him than before came Gray Wolf s cry. Each night she w a s call-i n g earlier, and coming closer to Ihe camp . H e wanted her ve ry n e a r to h im tonight, but he did not even whine !n response. H e dared not break tha t s t r a n g e siieUce iu ihe t en t . H e lay s t i l l f o r a long time, t i red and lame f m m the day's Journey, but sleepless. T h e fire burned lower ; the wind in the t r e e tops died s w a y ; nnd t h e thick, g r a y clouds rolled like a mass ive cur-t a i n f rom under the s \ i e s . T h e s t a r s began to glow white and metall ic, and f r o m f a r in the north c a m e fa in t ly a cr isping, moaning sound, l ike steel Klelgh runners running over f ros ty snow—the mysterious monotone of the no r the rn lights. Af t e r tha t it grew s teadi ly and swif t ly colder^

Tonight Cray Wolf did not compass herse l f by the direction of t h e wind. S h e followed llkt8 a sneaking shadow over t h e trail P ie r re Radlsson had m a d e , and when Kazan heard her aga in , long a f t e r midnight, h e lay with h i s head erect, and his body rigid, save f o r a curious twitching of h is muscles. T h e r e w a s a new note In Gray Wolf ' s voice, a walling note In which the re w a s more than the mate-call . I t w a s T h e Message. And a t the sound of It K a z a n rose f rom out of h is silence a n d his fear , and with h is head turned s t r a i g h t u p to the sky h e bowled a s t h e wild dogs of the Nor th howl be-f o r e the tepees of m a s t e r s who a r e n e w l y dead.

her heavier garments , aud went out-side.

By this t ime It w a s broad day. and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the storm had passed. It was

j bit terly cold. I t seemed to he r that she had never known It to be so cold In all he r life. T h e flre w a s com-pletely out. Kazan w a s huddled in a round ball, his nose tucked unde r his body. H e raised his head, shivering, as J o a n came out. Wi th he r L-avily moccaslned foot Joan sca t t e red the ashes and charred s t icks whe re the lire had been. There was not a spa rk left . In re turn ing to the l en t she stopped for a moment beside Kazan , end pat-ted his shaggy head.

"Poor Wol f !" she said. " I wish I h a l f U ; " y 0 \ 0 n f ° i t b e b - ^ l n s r i ^ r j a X

drew herself t o h e r feet , r o r • Mo-ment J o a n took his shaggy head be-tween her t w o hands .

" W o l f : - she in toned . "Oh, W o l fr She went on, h e r breath coming

pantlngiy now. even f rom her brief ex-ertion. T h e snow w a s not so deep on tbe ice of t h e r iver . ' B u t a wind w a s r i s i ng I t c ame f r o m the nor th and east, s t r a igh t in he r face, and J o a n bowed her head a s she pulled with Ka-zan. Half a mile down the r iver s h e stopped, a n d no longer could she re-press the hopelessness tha t r o - e to her Hps iu a s o b b i n g choking cry. Forty mi les ! She clutched ber hands a t her breas t , a n d stood bres thlng like o r e who had been beaten, her back to the wind. M v * baby was quiet. Joan went back nnd peered down under the furs , and wha t s h e saw there spurred her on again a lmost fiercely. Twice she s tumbled to h e r knees In the d r i f t s dur ing the next q u a r t e r of a mile.

Af te r t h a t t he re w a s a s t re tch of wind-swept Ice, a n d Kazan pulled the

2-02S. J. \2 •( uig slue. There was a pa in tn he r chest. A thou-sand needles seemed pricking her face, and suddenly s h e remembered the ther-mometer. She exposed It for a t ime en the top of the t en t . When site looked a t it a few minutes l a t e r it was 30 de-grees i e l « . Fu r iy miies : . Ann her f a the r had told he r that she could make i t—and could not lose he r se l f ! Iiut she did not know that even her f a the r would have been af ra id to f ace the north tha t day . with the tcmpern-ture a t 30 below, a n d a moaning wind bringing t h e first warn ing of a bliz-zard.

T h e t imber w a s f a r behind her now. Ahead the re w a s noth ing but the piti-less bar ren , and the t imber beyond • hat was hidden by t h e gray gloom of the day. If t h e r e had been trees. Joan ' s hear t would not have choked so with terror. But t h e r e was nothing—

She threw back the t en t flap and entered. For the first t ime s h e saw her f a the r ' s face in the l ight—and out-Hide, Kazan heard the t e r r ib le moan-ing cry that broke f r o m h e r Hps. No one could have looked a t P i e r r e Radis-son's fuce once—and not h a v e under-stood.

Af te r t h a t one agoniz ing cry J o a n flung herself upon he r f a t h e r ' s breast , sobbing so soft ly tha t even Kazan ' s sha rp e a r s heard so sound. She re-mained there in he r grief until every vital energy of womanhood and moth-erhood In her girlish body w a s roused to action by the wall ing cry of baby Joan . Then she s p r a n g to her feet und r an out through the t e n t opening. Kazan tugged a t the end of his chain to meet her , but she s aw nothing of him now. T h e ter ror of the wilderness Is grea te r than tha t of deuth , and in an ins tant it had fa l len upon Joan , It was not because of f e a r f o r herse l f . It was the baby. T h e wai l ing cr ies f rom the tent pierced her l ike kni fe- thrus ts .

And then, all a t once, t he re came to her what old Pier re had said t h e nigh? lie fore—his words about t h e rivei, t he airholes, tne home fo r ty mi les away. "You couldn' t lose yourself , J o a n . " He had guessed wha t might happen .
