Speaking breadly, the question of divorcing or not divorcing seems based upon whetber individually one believes that marriage is @ sacred or a man-made nstitution. If one regards sacred, one recognizes n¢@ release from ts obligations however terrible or) unjust or insupportable they may be, Jf one sees in marriage merely a tie which has been designed by human _ beings for the best welfare of the waman race, o1@ cannot fail to see the breaking of such tie under certain @rcumstances as the only proper course for human well-being. ‘My personal opinion is that ono degradation is lower than that of The ‘man or woman who jives under the conditions of marriage after all that is intended to make marriage fight and good pas vanished. Because women are dependent and have cbildren to care for, or are too timid te stand criticism they often endure the humiliation and misery of a wretched marriage until the status of sheer slavery is reached Men ogeasionally remain miserably mar- or pity. But to both men and women I say that when the purpose of marriage wervice to each other and to the races-has become stultified and hope- lewsly.. thwarted, the constructive vourse is in separation. “When can one be sure a marriage | has failed?

At a considerable dis- tance be saw him, for the moon was already turning the night into day. Durant knew the way of dogs. With them he employed a superior reason where Le Beau had ysed the club and the rawhide, So he came up openly and boldly, and, as if by acci- dent, dropped the end of the pole be- tween the bars, With his hands uinst the cage, apparently ynafreid, began talking in a casual way, He was different from Le Beau, Miki watched him closely for @ space und then let his eyes rest again on the darkened cabin window.

Then, suddenly, Durant lurched himself backward, and it seemed to Miki as though a giant trap of steel had closed about his neck. Inatant- ly his wind was shut off. He would make no sound as he struggled fran- land over him the tnd thefe, hh his feet stilt braced, he choked with his whole weight until--when at lagt he let up on the wahgun—Miki collapsed aw if dead. Ten seconds later Durant was looping » mussle over his closed jaws. He left the cage door open when he went back to lis sledge, carrying Miki in his arms.

By taint of: birth and blood Durant was a gambler first, and trapper afterward. He set his traps that he might have the thrill of wagering’ his profits, and for half # dozen successive years ho had won at the big annual dog fight at Post Fort o . But this year he had been half afraid. His fear had not been of Jacques Le Beau and Netab, but of the halfbreed away over on Red Belly Lake, Grouse Piet was the halfbreed’y name, and the “dog” that he was going to put up at the fight was half wolf. Therefore, in the foolish eagerness of his desire, had Durant offered two croms foxes and ten reds—the price of five dogs and not one-for the possession of Le Beau's wild dog. And now that he had him for nothing, und Nanette was poorer by twelve skins, be was happy. For he had now a good match for Grouse Piet's half wolf, and ho would chance his money and bid credit at the Post to the limit.

In the afternoon of the third day after leaving Nanetto T@ Beau's cabin Durant turned off the main-travelled trail until he came o the shack of Andre Ribon, who ept the Factor and bis people at the Post supplied with fresh meat. Andre, who was becoming over- anxious at Durant’s delay, was still waiting when his friend cama it was hére that Henri's Indian had left his fighting dog, the big buaky. And here he left Miki, locked in Andre's shack. ‘Then the two men went on to the Post, which was only , @ mile away. Durant and Kibon did not return until early boon the next day. They brought with them fresh meat, of which Miki ate ravenously, for be was hungry. In an unresponsive way he tolerated the advances of thease two. A agoond night he was left alone in the cabin. When Du- rant and Ifbon came back again in the early dawn they brought with them a cage four feet square made of small birch saplings. The open door of this cage they drew close to the door of the cabin, and by means of @ chunk of fresh meat Miki was induced to enter through it, Instant- ly the trap fell, and he was a prison- er.

He was close to another cage, and in that cage was a beast like himeelf, Beside this cage there stood a tall, swarthy, shaggy-headed halfbreed who looked like a pirate. The man was Grouse Piet, Durant's rival, A ¢ontemptuous leer was on his thick-lipped face as he looked at Miki, He wrned, and to the group of dark-taced Indians and breeds about him he said something that roused @ guttural laugh. Durant’s face flamed red. “Laugh, you heathen,” he chal- lenged, ‘but don't forget that Henri Durant is here to take your beta ‘Then he shook the two cross and ten red foxes in the face of Grouse Piet. “Cover them, Grouse Piet,” he cried. “And I have ten times more where they came from!"
