Baree, wandering in the woods, came upon Wakayoo, the black bear, and, fascinated, watched him knock fish out of the pool. He learned where Waka- yoo ¢ached his provisions, a discovery that solved the food problem for the young wolf-dog. One day he suddenly found himself face to face with Pier- rot, the trapper, and his daughter, Ne- peese, the Willow, who a few days be- fore had shot and slightly wounded Baree, thinking him a wolf. Nepeese now pursued Baree, who concealed himself beneath a great boulder. CHAPTER VII--Continued. From where he lay Baree could see what happened, Scarcely had he crawl ed under the rock when Nepeese and Pierrot appeared through the break in the dip, and stopped. The fact that they stopped thrilled Baree. They were afraid of Wakayoo! The big bear was two thirds of the way across the meadow. The sun fell on him, so that his coat shone like black satin. Pier- rot stared at him for a moment. Pier- rot did not kill for the love of killing. Necessity made him a conservationist. But he saw that in spite of the lateness of the season, Wakayoo's coat was splendid--and he raised his rifle. Baree saw this action, He saw, a moment later, something spit from the end of the gun, and then he heard that deafening crash that had come with his own hurt, when the Willow's bullet had burned through" his flesh, He turned his eyes swiftly to Wakayoo. The big bear had stumbled; he was on his knees; and then he struggled up and lumbered on. --- -- "She drew herself out and stood once more in the sunshine." > The roar of the rifle came again, land a second time Wakayos went down. Pierrot could not miss at that -{ distance. 'Wakayoo made a splendid mark. It was slaughter; yet for Pierrot and Nepeese it was business--the busi. ness of life. Baree was shivering, It was more from excitement than fear, for he had lost his own fear in the tragedy of these moments. A low whine rose in his throat as he looked at' Wakayoo, who had risen again and faced his en- emies--his jaws gaping, his head swing ing slowly, his legs weakening under him as the blood poured through his torn. lungs. Baree whined -- because : | Wakayoo had fished for him, because he had come to look on him as a friend, and because he knew it was '| death that Wakayoo was facing now. There was a third shot--the last, Wak- ayoo sank down in his tracks. His big head dropped between his fore- paws. A racking cough or two came to Baree. And then there was silence. CHAPTER VIII As Nepeese gazed about the rock- walled end of the canyon, the prison into which they had driven Wakayo and Baree, Pierrot looked i _ | from his skining of the big black bear, land he muttered something that no one but himself could have. heard. | ["Non, it is not possible," he had said a moment before; but to Nepeese it was possible--the thought that was in her mind. It was a wonderful thought, It thrilled her to the depth of her wild, -{ beautiful soul. It sent a glow into her eyes and a deeper flush of excitement into i cheeks and lips, $ she quested the ragged edges of the little meadow for signs of the dog- pup, her thoughts flashed back swiftly.

It was Kazan, and not Gray Wolf, calling to him back thru' the centuries, a "call" that was as old as the Egyptian pyramids and per- haps ten thousand years older. But against that desire Gray Wolf was pulling from out the black ages of the forests. The wolf held him quiet and motionless. Nepeese was looking about her. She was smiling. For a moment her face was turned toward him, and he saw the white shine of her-teeth; and her beautiful eyes seemed glowing straight at him. : And then, suddenly she dropped on her knees and peered under the rock. Their eyes met. For at least half a minute there was not a sound. Nepeese did not move, and her breath came so softly that Baree could not hear it. Then she said, almost-in a whisper: "Baree! Baree| Upi Baree!" It was the first time Baree had heard his name, and there was something so soft and assuring in the sound of it that in spite of himself the dog in him responded to it in a whimper that just reached the Willow's ears. Slowly she stretched in an arm. It was bare and round and soft. He might have darted forward the length of his body and buried his fangs in it easily. But some- thing held, him back. He knew that it was not an enemy; he knew that the dark eyes shining at him so wonder fully were not filled with the desire to harm--and the voice that came to him softly was like a strange and thrilling music. "Baree! Baree! Upi Baree!" Over and over again the Willow called to him like that, while on her face she tried to draw herself a few inches farther under the rock. She could not reach him. There was still a foot between her hand and Baree, and she could not wedge herself in an inch more. And then she saw where on the other side of the rock there was a hol- low, shut in by a stone. If she had re- moved the stone, and come in that way, She drew herself out and stood once more in the sunshine, Her heart thrill- ed. Pierrot was. busy over his bear-- and shdffwould not call him. She made an effort to move the stone which closed in the hollow under the big boulder, but it was wedged in tightly. Five minutes--and Nepeese could move the stone. She tugged at it. Inch by inch she dragged it out until at last it lay at her feet and the opening was ready for her body. She looked again toward Pierrot. He was still busy, and she laughed soitly as she With this she would secure Baree. She dropped on her hands and knees and then herself flat on the ground und' began crawling' tino sthe hollow under the boulder. Baree had moved. With the back of his head flattened against the rock he heard something which Nepeese had not heard; he had felt a slow and growing pressure, and from this pres- sure he had dragged himself slowly-- and the pressure still followed. The mass of rock was settling. Nepeese did not see or hear or understand. She was calling to him more and more pleadingly: > } "Baree--Baree--Baree---" Her head and shoulders and both arms were under the rock now. The glow of her eyes was very close to Baree. He whined. The thrill of a great and impending danger stirred in his blood. And then---- ! (To be continued) Canadian Pacific.
