' There's only one feature about the new steamship service.

It was the fit that saved them. In his maniacal contortions he swung around to Neewa's side of the sap- ling, when, with their halter onco more freo from impediment, Neewa bolted for safety. Miki followed, yelping at every jump. No longer did Neewa feel a horror of the river, ‘The instinct of his kind told him that he wanted water, and wanted it badly. As straight as Challoner might have set tis course by a com- pass he headed for the stream, but he had proceeded only a few hundred feet when they came upon a tiny creek across which either of them could have jumped. Neewa jumped into the water which was four or deep, and for the first time in his life Miki voluntarily took a plunge. For a long time they lay in the cooling rill. After a long time they dragged themselves out of the rivulet and found a soft, dry hollow at the foot of a big tree. Even to Neewa, who had the use of his eyes, it was grow- ing dark in the deep forest. The sun was far in the west, And the air was growing chilly, Flat on his belly, with his swollen head between his forepaws, Miki whined plaintively, The gloom of evening settled more darkly about them, and, snuggling still closer to the pup, Neewa drew the rope between his forepawe, With a little snarl he set his teeth in it. And then, steadily, he began to chew. Now and then he growled, and in the growl there was a peculiarly com- municative note, as if he wished to say to Miki: “Don't you see?—d'm chewing this five inches thing in two. Il have ft done by morning. Cheer up! ‘There's surely a better day coming,” CHAPTER Iv. HE morning after thetr patnful experience with the wasp's nest, Neewa and Miki rose on four pairs of stiff and swollen legs to greet a new day in the deep and mysterious forest into which the acoldent of the previous day had thrown them. The spirit of irrepres- sible youth was upon them, and, though Miki was so swollen from the stings of the wasps that his lank body and overgrown legs were more gro- tesque than ever, he was in no way daunted from the quest of further ad- venture. Both were hungry, The amazing swiftness with which their misfor+ tunes had descended upon them had given them no time in which to eat. To Miki the change was more than astonishing; it was overwhelming, and he held his breath in anticipa- tion of some new evil while Neewa scanned the forest about them. ‘As if assured by this survey that everything was right, Neewa turned his back to the sun, which had been his mother’s custom, and set out. ‘They proceeded. or two heart- breaking hours Miki followed at Neewa’s heels, the ‘void in his stomach increasing as the swelling in his body diminished. His hunger was becoming a torture. Yet not a bit to eat could he find, while Neewa at every few steps apparently discov- ered something to devour. At the end of the two hours the cub's bill of fare hdd grown to considerable Proportions. It included, among other things, half a dozen green and black beetles; numberless bugs, both hard and soft; whole colonies of red and black ants; several white grubs dug out of the heart of decaying logs; handful of snails; a young frog; the egg of a ground-plover that had fatled to hatoh; and, in the vegetable Une, the roots of two camas and one skunk cabbage. Now and then he pufed down tender poplar shoots and nipped the ends off. Likewise he nibbled spruce and balsam gum whenever he found it, and occasion- ally be added to his breakfast a bit of tender grass, Miki, in the face of his own starva- tion, grew happier as he added to the strange collection in his stomach, In fact, Neewa considered himself in clover and was grunting his satisfac- tion continually, especially as his bad eye was beginning to open and he could see things better, Half a dozen times when he found fresh ant nests he invited Miki to the feast with ex- cited little squeals, Until noon Miki followed like a faithful satellite at hia Can You Beat It! J LL SHow THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE WEARING IN PARIS % DAY heels, The end came when Neowa de- liberately dug into a nest inhabited by four huge bumble-bees, smashed them all, and ate them. From that moment something im- pressed upon Miki that he must do his own hunting. With the thought came a new thrill, His eyes were fairly open now, and much of the stiffness had gone from his legs. The blood of his Mackenzie father and of his half Spitz and half Aircdale mother rose up in him in swift and immediate demand, and he began to quest about for himself, He found a warm scent, and poked about until a partridge went up with a tremendous thunder of wings. It startled bim, but added to the thrill. A few minutes ing under a pile of brush, he to face with his dinner Instantly Miki was at him, and had @ firm hold at the top of Wahboo's back. Neewa, hearing the smashing of the brush and the squealing of the rabbit, stopped catching ants and hustled toward the scene of action. The squealing ceased quickly and Miki backed himself out and faced Neewa with Wahboo held triumph- antly in his jaws, ‘The young rabbit had already given his last kick, and with a flerce show of growling Miki began tearing the fur off. Neewa edged in, grunting affably, Miki snarled more fiercely. Neewa, undaunted, continued to express his overwhelming regard for Miki In low and supplicating grunts— and smelled the rabbit. The snarl in Miki's throat died away. He may have remembered that Neowa had invited him more than once to par- take of his ants and bugs. Together they ate the rabbit. Not until the last bit of flesh and the last tender bone were gone did the feast end, and then Neewa sat back on his round bottom and stuck out his little red tongue for tho first time since he had lost his mother. It was the cub sign of a full stomach and a blissful mind. CHAPTER Y. ATER they crawled into a windfall and slept, At Inst Miki rept out cautiously from under the tangle of bushes, He peered about him, watching for movement and lIisten- ing for sound, The sagging and apologetic posture of puppyhood was gone from him, His overgrown feet stood squarely on the ground; his angular legs were as bard as if carven out of knotty wood; his body was tense, his cars stood up, his lead was rigkily set between the bony shoulders that already gave evidence of gigantic strength to come, About him he knew was the Big Adventure, The world was no longer @ world of play and of snug- gling under the hands of a master, Something vastly more thrilling had come into it now.

A washable SOF The North AMES OLIVER CURWOOD close to the opening under the wind- fall and began chewing at the end of the rope whi dragged from about bis neck, The sun sank lower, It disappeared. Still he waited for Nee- wae to come out and le with him in the open, As the twilight thickened into deeper gloom he drew himself into the edge of the door under the windfall and found Neewa there, To- gether they peered forth into the mysterious night. For a time there was the utter stillness of the first hoar of dark- ness in the northland. Up in the clear sky the stars came out in twos and then jn glowing constellations, There was an early moon. It was already over the edge of the forests, flooding the world with a golden glow, and in that glow the night was filled with grotesque Diack shadows that had neither movement nor sound. Then the silence was broken, From out of the owl-infested pits came a strange and hollow sound. Miki had heard the shrill screeching and the tu- who-o0-0, tu-who-o-0, tu-who-o-o of the little owls, the trap-pirates, but never this voice of the strong-winged Jezebels and Frankensteins of the deeper forests—the real butchers of the night. It was a hollow, throaty sound: more a moan than a cry; & moan 80 short and low that it seemed born of caution, or of fear that it would frighten possible prey. For a few minutes pit after pit gave forth each its signal of life, and then there was a silence of voice, broken at intervals by the faint, crashing sweep of great wings in the spruce and balsam tops as the hunters launched themselves up and over them in the direction of the plain, The going forth of the owls was only the beginning of the night cai nival for Neewa and Miki. For # jong time they lay side by side, sleep- less, and listening. Past the windfall went the padded feet of a fisher-cat, and they caught the ascent of it; to them came the far cry of a loon, the yapping of a restless fox, and the mooing of a cow moose feeding in the edge of a lake on the further side of the plain, And then, at last, came the thing that made their blood run faster and sent a deeper thrill into their hearts, It seemed a vast distance away at first—the hot-throated cry of wolves on the trail of meat, It was swinging northward into the plain, and this shortly brought the cry with the wind, which was out of the north and the west. The howling of the was very distinct after that, and in Miki’s brain netulous visions and almost unintelligible memories were swiftly wakening into life, It was not Challoner’s voice that he heard, but it was a voice that he Knew. It was the voice of Hela, his giant father; the voice of Numa, his mother; the voice of his kind for a hundred and @ thousand generations before him, and it was the Instinct of those generations and the hazy memory of his earliest puppyhood that were impinging the thing upon him. A little later it would take both intelligence and experience to make discriminate the hair-breadth Cs i a ik el difference between wolf and dog. And this voice of his blood was coming, It bore down upon t swiftly, fierce and filled with the blood-luat of hunger, He forgot Neewa, He did not observe the cub when he slunk back deeper under the windfall, He rose up on his feet and stood stiff 4nd tense, unconscious of all things but that thrilling tongue of the hunt- pack, Wind broken, his strength falling him, and his eyes wildly searching the night ahead for the gleam of wati that might save him, Abtik, the young caribou bull, raced for his life a hu dred yards ahead of the wolves. The pack had already flung itself out in the form of a horseshoe, and the two beginning to creep up st of Ahtik, ready to close in for hamstring—and the kill. In these jast minutes every throat was silent and the young bull sensed the begin- ning of the end. Desperately he turned to the right and plunged into the forest. : Miki heard the crash of his body and he bugged close to the windfall. Ten seconds later Abtik passed within fifty feet of him, a huge and &rotesque form in the moonlight, his coughing breath filled with the agony and hoplessness of approaching death. As swiftly as he had come he was gone, and in bis place followed half a score of noiseless shadows passing so quickly that to Miki they were like the coming and the going of the wind. In the early dawn Miki came out from under the windfall and smelled of the trail where the wolves and the caribou had pagwed. Heretofore it was Neowa who had led in thelr wan- dering; now It was Neewa that fol- lowed. His nostrils filled with the heavy scent of the pack, Miki trav- elled steadily in the direction of the plain, It took him half an hour to reach the edge of it. After that he came to a wide and stony out-crop- ping of the earth over which he nosed the spoor to @ low and abrupt descent into the wider range of the valley, Here he stopped. Twenty feet under him and fifty fect away lay the partly devoured carcass of the young bull. It was not this fact that thrilled him until his heart stood still, From out the bushy plain had come Maheegun, a renegade she-wolf, to fill herself with the meat which’ she had not hetped to kill, She was a sinking, hollow-backed, quick-fanged creature, still rib-thin from the sick- ness that had come of eating a poison- bait; a beast shunned by her own kind—a coward, a murderess even of her own whelps. But she was nono of these things to Miki. In her he saw in living flesh and bone what his memory and his instinct recalled to him of his mother. And his mother had come before Challoner, his master. For a minute or two he lay trem- bling, and then he went down, as he would have gone to Challoner; with great caution, with a wilder suspense, but with a strange yearning within him that a man’s presence would have tauead-to tous, Hd was very loose, comfortable lines, for euch in- timate use.
