He wanted his mother as he had never wanted her before -in, his life. He wanted to snuggle his shivering little body close up to her and feel the warm caressing of her tongue and listen to the mothering whine of her voice. And he wanted Kazan, and the old wind- fall, and that big blue spot that was in the sky right over it. While he fol- lowed again along the edge of the creek; he whimpered for them as a child might grieve.

He grew hungrier and hungrier He had de- pended entirely on Kazan and Gray Wolf for food. His parents had, in some ways, made a great baby of him. Gray. Wolf's blindness accounted for this, for since his birth she had not taken up her hunting with Kazan, and it was quite natural that Baree should stick close to her, though more than once' he had been filled with a great yearning to follow. his father. Nature was hard at work trying to overcome its handicap now. It was struggling to impress on Baree that the time had now come when he must seek his own foqd. ~ With fhe thinning out of the forest the creek grew more shallow. It ran again over bars of sand and. stones, and Baree began to nose along the edge of these. For a long time he had no success. 'The few crawfish that he saw were exceedingly lively and elu- sive, and all the clamshells were shut so tight that even Kazan's powerful jaws would have had difficulty in smashing them. It was almost noon when he caught his first crayfish, about as big as a man's forefinger. He de- voured. it ravenously. The taste of food gave him fresh courage, He caught two more crayfish during the after- noon. When the approach of night Baree's fears and great loneliness returped. Before the day had quite gone he found himself a shelter under a big rock, where there was a warm, soft bed of sand. Since his fight with Papayuchi- sew, he had travelled a long distance, and the rock under which he made his bed this night was at least eight or nine mi'es from the windfall. It was in 've opeir of the creek-bottom, with the dark forest of spruce and cedars close on either side; and when the moon rose, and the stars filled the sky, Bar- ee could look out and see the water of the stream shimmering in a glow al- most as bright as day. Directly in front of him, running to the water's edge, was a broad carpet of white sand. Ac- goss this sand, half an hour later, came a huge black bear. Until Baree had seen the otters at play in the creek, his conceptions of the forest had not gone beyond his own kind, and such creatures as owls and rabbits and small feathered things. The otters had not frightened him, be- cause he still measured things by size, anid Nekik was not half as big as Ka- zan. But the bear was a monster be- side which Kazan would have stood as & mere pigmy. He was big. If nature was taking this way of introducing Baree to the fact that there were more important creatures in the forest than dogs and wolves and owls and cray- fish, she was driving the point home with a little more than necessary em- phasis. For Wakayoo, the bear, weighed six hundred pounds if he weighed an ounce, He was fat and sleek from a month's feasting on fish. His shiny coat was like black velvet in the 'moonlight, and he walked with a curious rolling motion with his head hung low. The horror grew when he stopped broadside in the carpet of sand not more thin ten from the rock ugder which Baree was shivering a# if he had the ague. It was quite evident that Wakayoo had caught Be of him in the air. Baree could hear him snifi--could hear his breathing----caught the starlight flashing 'in his reddish-brown eyes as they swung suspiciously toward the big boulder. If Baree could have known then that he--his insignificant little stlfe-was making that monster actu- ally nérvous and uneasy, he would have given a\yelp of joy. For Waka- yoo, in spite of his size, was some- what of a coward when it came tb wol- ves. And Baree carried the wolf-stent. It grew stronger in Wakayoo's nose; and just then, as if to incréase what ever fitrvousnéss was growing in him there came from ouj of thé forest be- hind him' a long and wailing howl. With an audible grunt, Wakayeo thoved on. Welves were pests, he ar- gued. They wouldnt stand up and fight. They'd snap and yap at one's Heels for hours at a time, and were al- ways out of the -way-quickér than a wink when one turned on them. What was the use of hanging around where there were wolves, 8n a beautiful night like this? He lumbered on decisively. Baree could hear him splashing heavily through the water of the creek. Not until then did the wolf-dog draw a full breath, It was almost a gasp. CHAPTER 1V.

If experience canbe made to take the place of age, he had aged a great deal in the last forty-eight hours. n fact, he had passed almost out of puppyhood, He awoke with a new and much broadér conception of the world. It was a big place. It was filled with many things, of which Kazan and Gray Wolf were not the most important. The monsters he had seen on the a new kind of caution, and the one greatest ipstinet of beasts--the primal understanding that it is the strong that prey upon the weak---was wakening swiftly in him. iy If heycould-only find something to eat! That was the master thought that possessed Baree. Instinct had not yet impressed upon him that this which he saw all about him was starvation. He went on, seeking hopefully for food. But at last, as the hours passed, hope to die out of him. The sun sank westward. The sky grew less blue; a low wind began to ride over the tops of the stubs, and now and then one of them fell with a startling crash. * Baree could go no farther. An hour before dusk he lay down in the open, weak and starved. The sun disappear- ¢d behind the forest. The moon rolled up from the east.
