The second night Baree lay with a full stomach in a thie- ket of banksian pine; the third day he was travelling westward over the trap- line again. Early on this morning Bush Me. Taggart started out to gather his catch and where he crossed the stream six miles from Lac Bain he first saw Ba. ree's tracks. He stopped to examine them with sudden and unusual interest falling at last on his knees, whipping off the glove from his right hand, and picking up-a single hair. "The black wolf!" He uttered the words in an odd, 'hard voice, and involuntarily his eyes turned straight in the direction of the Gray Loon. After that, even more care fully than before, he examirded one of the clearly impressed tracks in the snow. When he rose to hig feet there was in his face the look af one who had made an unpleasant discovery. "A black wolf!" he repeated, and shrugged his shoulders, "Bah! Lerue is a fool. Tt is a dog," And then, after a moment, he muttered in a voice scarce. ly louder than a whisper, "her dog." He went on travelling in the trail of the dog. A new excitement possessed him that was more thrilling than the excitement of the hunt. Being human, it was his privilege to add two and two together, and out of the two and two he made--Baree. There was little doubt in his mind. The thought had h * Sr « < ¢ s Lv.

SYNOPSIS It was in the winter that a half. breed found in the snow footprints of Baree, the wolf.dog, He reported to McTaggart, the factor, that he had seen prints larger than those of a fox, and the factor's suspicions were arous- ed. Baree had been his enemy. He had tried to kill the dog and the dog had inflicted wounds on him. Moreover, McTaggart had shot Pierrot, the trap- per, who was Baree's master, and caus. lf | ed the animal to be separated from Ne- peese, the trapper's daughter. / CHAPTER XXV---Continued. The next day saw the beginning of the struggle that was to follow be- tween the wits of man and beast. To Baree the encroachment of Bush Mec- Taggart's trap-line was not war; it was existence. It was to furnish him food, as Pierrot's line had furnished him food for many weeks. But he sensed the fact that in this instance he was law-breaker and had an enemy to outwit. Had it been good hunting wea- ther he might have gone on, for the unseen hand that was guiding his wan- derings was drawing him slowly but surely back to the old beaver-pond and the Gray Loon. As it was, with the snow deep and soft under him-- so deep that in places he plunged into it over his ears--McTaggart's trap. line was like a trail of manna made for his special use. He followed in the Factor's snowshoe tracks, and in the third trap killed a rabbit. When he had finished with it nothing but the hair TL Land '8% : | REE.

He was convinced after his examination of the tracks. They were the tracks of a dog, and the dog was black. Then he came to the first trap that had been robbed of its bait. Under his breath he cursed. The bait was gone, and the trap was unsprung. The sharpened stick that had transfix- ed the bait was pulled out clean; . All that day Bush McTaggart fol- lowed a trail where Baree had left traces of his presence. Trap after trap he found robbed. On the lake he came upon the mangled wolf. From the first disturbing excitement of his discovery of Baree's presence his humor changed slowly.to one of rage, and his rage in- creased as the day yo out. He was not unacquainted with four-footed robbers of the trap-line, but usually a wolf or a fox or a dog who had grown adept in. thievery troubled only a few traps. But in this case Baree was tra- velling straight from trap to trap, and his footprints in the"snow showed that he stopped at each. At dusk he reached the shack Pierre Eustach had built midway of his line, and took inventory of his fur. It was not more than a third of a catch; the lynx was half ruined, a mink was torn completely in two. The second day he found still greater ruin, still more bar- ren traps. He was like "a madman. When he arrived at the second cabin, late in the afternoon, Baree's tracks were not an hour old in the snow. Three times during the night he heard the dog howling. : The third day McTaggart did not re. turn to Lac Bain, but began a cautious hunt for Baree. An inch or two of fresh snow had fallen, and as if to take even greater measure of vengeance from his man-enemy Baree had left footprints freely within a radius of a hundred yards of the cabin. It was half an hour before McTaggart could pick out the straight trail, and he followed this for two hours jnto a thick bank- sian swamp. Baree kept with the wind. Now and then he caught the scent of his pursuer; a dozen times he waited until the dther was so close he could hear the snap of brush, or the metallic click of twigs against his rifle barrel. And then, with a sudden in. spiration that br. fresh to McTaggart's lips, he swung in a circle and cut straight back of the Factor keeping the scent of his hands from the traps and "houses," and every now and then the smell of him was strong in Baree's nose. This wrought in Ba- ree a swift and definite antagonism, a steadily increasing hatred where a few days before hatred was almost forgot- ten. There is, perhaps, in the animal rind a process of simple computation which does not quite achieve 'the dis- tinction of reason, "and which is not altogether instinct, but which pro- duces results that might be ascribed to either. Baree did not add two' and two together to make four; he did not go back step by step to prove to himself that the man to whom this trap-line belonged was the cause of all his griefs and troubles--but he did find himself possessed of a deep and yearning hat- red. McTaggart was the one creature except the wolves that he had ever hated; it was McTaggart who had hurt him. McTaggart who had hurt Pierrot, McTaggart who had made him lose his beloved Neépeese -- and McTaggart was here on this trap-line! If he had been wandering before, without object or destiny, he was gi- ven a mission now. It was to keep to the traps. To feed himself. And to vent his hatred and his vengeance as he lived. The second day, in the centre of a lake, he came upon the body &f a wolf that had died of one of the poison- baits. For a haM-hour he mauled the dead beast until its skin was térn into aa Whooping Cough : § ft Her 5 Children Had It Mrs. 8. H. Craig, R.R.
