Baree had not forgotten Nepeese.
A dozen times he turned his head back
and whined, and always he picked out
accurately the direction In which the
cabin lay. But he did not turn back.
As the night lengthened. Ills search
for that mysterious something which
he had not found continued. His hun
ger, even with the fadlng-out of the
moon and the coming of the gray
dawn, was not sufficiently keen to
make him hunt for food.
It was cold, and It seemed colder
when the glow of the moon and stars
died out Under his padded feet, es
pecially In the open spaces, was a
thick white frost In which he left
clearly at times the imprint of his
toes and claws. He had traveled
steadily for hours, a great many miles
In all, and he was tired when the first
light of the day came. And then
there came the time when, with a sud
den sharp click of his Jaws, he stopped
like a shot in his tracks.
At last It had come—the meeting
with that for which he bad been seek
ing. With her head toward him. and
waiting for him ns he came out of the
shadows, his scent strong In her keen
nose, stood Maheegun. the young wolf.
Baree had not smelled her. but he saw
her directly he curae out of the rim of
young balsams that fringed the open.
It was then that he stopped, and for
a full minute neither of them moved
a muscle or seemed to breathe.
There was not a fortnight’s differ
ence in their age and yet Maheegun
was much the smaller of the two; her
body was as long, but she was slim
mer ; she stood on slender legs that
were almost like the legs of a fox, and
the curve of her back was that of a
slightly bent bow, a sign of swiftness
almost equal to the wind. She stood
poised for flight even as Baree ad
vanced his first step toward her, and
then very slowly her body relaxed,
and in a direct ratio as he drew near
er her ears lost their alertness and
dropped aslant
Baree whi.ied. His ears were up,
hts head alert, his tall aloft and bushy.
Cleverness, If not strategy, had al
ready become a part of his masculine
superiority, end he did not immedi
ately press the affair. He was within
five feet of Maheegun when he cas
ually turned *»way from her and faced
the east, where a faint penciling of
red and gold was heralding the day.
For a few moments he sniffed and
looked around and pointed the wind
with much seriousness, as though Im
pressing on his fair acquaintance—as
many a two-legged animal has done
before him —his tremendous Impor
tance In the world at large.
And Maheegun was properly im
pressed. Baree’s bluff worked as beau
tifully as the bluffs of the two-legged
animals.
He snlfTed the air with such thrill
ing and suspicious zeal that Mahee
gun's ears sprang alert, and she
sniffed It with him; he turned his
head from point to point so sharply
and nlertly that her feminine curios
ity. if not anxiety, made her turn her
own head In questioning conjunction.
And when Baree whined as though
In the air he hud cuught a mystery
which she could not possibly under
stand. a responsive note gathered In
her throat, but smothered and low as
a woman’s exclamation when she is
not quite sure whether she should in
terrupt her lord or not. At this sound,
which Bnree’s sharp enrs caught, he
swung up to her with a light and
mincing step, and In another moment
they were sihelllng noses.
When the sun rose, half an hour
later, It found them still in the small
open on the side of the ridge, with a
deep fringe of forest under them, and
beyond that u wide, timbered plain
which looked like a ghostly shroud in
Its mantle of frost. Up over this
came lie first red glow of the day,
filling the open with a warmth that
grew more and more comfortable us
the sun crept higher.
Neither Baree nor Maheegun were
Inclined to move for a while, and for
an hour or two they lay basking in a
cup of the slope, looking down with
questing and wideawake eyes upon the
wooded plain that stretched uwuy un
der them like a great sea.
Maheegun. too, hnd sought the hunt
pack, and like Baree hud failed to
catch It They were tired, a little dis
couraged for the time, and hungry—
but. still alive with the fine thrill of
anticipation, and restlessly sensitive
to the new and mysterious conscious
ness of companionship. Half a dozen
times Buree got up and nosed about
Maheegun ns she luy In the sun, whin
ing to her softly and touching her
soft coat with his muzzle, but for a
long time she paid little attention to
him. At last she followed him. All
that day they wandered and rested
together Once more the night came.
It was without moon or stars. The
■raw began to fall at dusk, thickly,

heavily, without a breath of sound.
It was not cold, but It was still—so
still that Buree and Maheegun trav
eled only a few yards at a time, and
then stopped to listen. In this way
all the night-prowlers of the forest
were traveling, if they were moving
at all. It was the first of the Big
Snow.
To the flesh-eating wild things of the
forests, clawed and winged, the Big
Snow was the beginning of the winter
carnival of slaughter and feasting, of
wild adventure in the long nights, of
merciless warfare on the frozen trails.
The days of breeding, of motherhood—
the peace of spring and summer—
were over; out of the sky came the
wnkenlng of the Northland, the call
of all flesh-eating creatures to the long
hunt, and in the first thrill of it living
things were moving but little this
night, and that watchfully and with
suspicion.
Baree and Maheegun felt the excit
ing pulse of a new life. It lured them
on. It Invited them to adventure into
the white mystery of the silent storm;
and Inspired by that restlessness of
youth and Its desires, they went on.
The snow grew deeper under their
feet. In the open spaces they waded
through It to their knees, and It con
tinued to fall In a vast white cloud
that descended steadily out of the sky.
It wus near midnight when It stopped.
With Her Head Toward Him Stood
Maheegun. the Young Wolf.
The clouds drifted away from under
the stars and the moon, and for a long
time Baree and Maheegun stood with
out moving, looking down from the
bald crest of a ridge upon a wonderful
world.
Never had they seen so far, except
In the light of day. Under them was
a plain. They could see Its forests,
lone trees that stood up like shadows
out of the snow, a stream—still un
frozen—shimmering like gluss with
the dicker of firelight on It. Toward
this stream Baree led the wny. He no
longer thought of Nepeese, nnd he
whined with pent-up happiness as he
stopped halfway down and turned to
muzzle Maheegun. He wanted to roll
In the snow and frisk übout with his
companion; he wanted to bark, to put
up Ills head and howl as he had
howled ut the Red Moon buck at the
cubln.
Something held him from doing
these things. Perhaps It was Muhee
gun's demeanor. She accepted his at
tentions rigidly. Once or twice she
had seemed almost frightened; twice
Baree hnd heard the sharp clicking of
her teeth. The previous night, and
all through tonight’s storm, their com
panionship hud grown more lntimute,
but now there was taking Its pluce u
mysterious aloofness on the part .of
Maheegun. Pierrot could huve ex
plained. With the white snow under
and about him, and the luminous moon
and sturs above him, Baree, like the
night, had undergone a transforma
tion which even the sunlight of day
had not made in him before. His cout
wus like polished Jet. Every hair in
his body glistened black. Black!
That wus it. And Nature was trying
to tell Muheegun that of all the crea
tures hated by her kind, the creature
which they feared und hated most
was black. With her It was not ex
perience. but Instinct—telling her of
the age-old feud between the gray
wolf und the black beur. Until they
struck the broad openings of the plain,
the young she-wolf hud followed Ba
ree without hesitation; now there wus
a gathering strungeuess and indeci
sion in her manner, and twice she
THE 008TILLA COUKfTY DEMOCRAT
stopped and would i&ive let Baree g»-
on without her.
An hour after they entered the
plain there came suddenly out of the
west the tongulng of the wolf-pack. It
was not far distant, probably not more
than a mile along the foot of the
ridge, and the sharp, quick yapping
that followed the first outburst was
evidence that the longfanged hunters
had put up sudden game, a caribou
or young inoose. and were close at
its heels. At the voice of her own
people Maheegun laid ber ears close
to her head and was off like an arrow
from a bow.
The unexpectedness of her move
ment and the swiftness of her flight
put Baree well behind her In the race
over the plain, she was running
blindly, favored by luck- For an in*
terval of perhaps five minutes the
pack were so near to their game that
they made no sound, and the chase
swung full into the face of Maheegun
and Baree. The latter was not half a
dozen lengths behind the young* wolf
when a crashing in the brush directly
ahead stopped them so sharply that
they tore up the snow with their
braced forefeet and squat haunches.
Ten seconds later a caribou burst
through flashed across an open
not mortf than twenty yards from
where they stood. They could hear
Its Rwift panting as it disappeared.
And then came the pack.
At sight of those swiftly moving
gray bodies Baree'* heart leaped for
an Instant Into his throat. He forgot
Maheegun, and that she had run away
from him. The mpoo and the stars
went out of existence for him. He no
longer sensed the chill of the snow
under his feet. He wis wolf—all wolf.
With the warm scent of the caribou
in his nostrils, and the passion to kill
sweeping through h!m like fire, he
darted after the pack.
Very soon he found himself close to
the flanks of one of the gray monsters
of the pack; half i minute later a
new hunter swept la from the bush
behind him, and then a second, and
after that a third. 'lt was as If Baree
had belonged to the pack always. He
had Joined it naturally, as other stray
wolves had Joined It from out of the
bush; there had been no ostentation,
no welcome such as Maheegun had
given him In the open, no hostility.
He belonged with these slim, swift
footed outlaws of the old forests, and
his own Jaws snapped and his blood
ran hot as the snic’ 1 of the caribou
grew heavier, and the sound of its
crashing body nearer.
It seemed to him they were almost 1
at Its heel when they swept Into an I
open plain, a stretch of barren with- \
out a tree or a shrink brilliant In the 1
light of the stars Jwd moon. Across I
Its unbroken cnrpe: of snow sped the |
caribou a spare hi ndred yards ahead
of the pack. No r the two leading
hunters no longer {flowed directly In
the trail, but sho out at an angle,
one to the right a | the other to the
left of the pursKfl, and like well
trained soldier* the pack split In
halves and spr»ad out fan-shape in
the final charge.
The two endi of the fan forged
ahead and closed In, until the leaders
were running almost abreast of the
caribou, with fifty or sixty feet sepa
rating them fron the pursued. Thus,
adroitly and swiftly, with deadly pre
cision, the pack had formed a horse
shoe cordon of ftngs from which there
was bnt one course of flight—straight
ahead. For the caribou to swerve half
a degree to the right or left meant
death.
It was the duty of the leaders to
draw in the ends of the horseshoe
now, until one or both of them could
make the fatal lunge for the ham
strings. After that it would be a
simple matter. The pack would close
in over the caribou like an Inundation.
Baree had found his place In the
lower rim of the horseshoe, so that
he WJis fairly well in the rear when
the climax came. The plain made a
sudden dip. Straight ahead was the
gleam of water— water shimmering
softly in the starglow, and the sight
of it sent a final great spurt of blood
through the caribou’s bursting heart.
Forty seconds would tell the story—
forty seconds of a last spurt for life,
of a final tremendous efTort to escape
death. Baree felt the sudden thrill of
these moments, and he forged ahead
with the others in that lower rim of
the horseshoe as one of the leading
wolves made a lunge for the young
bull’s ham-string. It was u clean miss.
A second wolf darted in. And this
one also missed.
There was no time for others to
tuke their place. From the broken end
of the horseshoe liaree heard the cari
bou's heavy plunge Into water. When
Buree Joined the pack, a mnddened,
mouth-frothing, snarling horde, Nupa
moos, the young bull, wus well out in
the river and swimming steadily for
the opposite shore.
