Kazan, a vicious Alaskan sledge dog, one-Quarter wolf, saves' the
life of Thorpe, his master, and is taken along "when the master goes to
civilization to meet his" bride and return with her to the frozen couh-'
try. "Even Thorpe is afraid to touch Kazan, but Isobel, the dog's new
mistress, wins his affection at once. On the way northward Hc

Cready, flees to the woods, joins a wolf pack, whips the leader, takes
a young mate, Gray Wolf, and a few nights later drives off the pack
which had attacked human beings and protects a sick man, his daugh
ter, Joan, and her baby. Won by their kindness the wolf-dog submits
to adoption by Joan.
CHAPTER VII Continued.
Pierre knelt beside her. He was
proffering something, and -Kazan
smelied meat. But it was the girl's
hand that made Tiini tremble and
shiver, and when she drew back, urging
him to follow her, he dragged himself
painfully a foot or two through the
snow. Not until then did the girl see
his mangled leg. In an instant she had
forgotten all caution, and was down
close at his side.
"He can't walk," she cried, a sudden
tremble in her voice. "Look, mon pere !
Here is a terrible cut. We must carry
him."
"I guessed that much," replied Rad
isson. "For that reason I brought the
blanket. Mon Dieu, listen to that!"
From the darkness- of the forest
there came a low wailing cry.
Kazan lifted his head and a trem
bling whine answered itf histhroat. It
was Gray Wolf calling to him.
It was a miracle that Pierre Eadis
son should put the blanket about Ka
zan, and carry him in to the camp
without scratch or bite. It was this
miracle that he achieved, with Joan's
arm resting on Kazan's shaggy neck as
sheTield one end of the hlanket. They
laid him down close to the fire, and aft
er a little It was the man again who
brought warm Water and washed away
the blood from the torn leg, and then
put something on it that was soft and
warm and. soothing, and finally bound
a cloth about it.
All this was strange and new to Ka
zan. Pierre's hand, as well as the
girl's, stroked his head. It was the man
who brought him a ruel.of meal and
tallow, and urged him to . eat, while
Joan sat with her chin in her two
hands, looking at the dog, and talking
to him. After this, when he was quite
comfortable, and no longer afraid, he
heard a strange small cry from the
furry bundle on the sledge that brought
his head Up with a jerk.
Joan saw the movement, and heard
the low answering whimper in his
throat- She turned quickly to the
bundle, talking and cooing to it as she
took it in her "arms, and then she
pulled back the bearskin so that Kazan
could see. ; He had never seen a baby
before, and-: Joan,; held it out before
him, so thatf 'Coufd 7ldDk straight at
it and seeVjiat a wonderful creature it
was. Its little, pkik face stared stead
ily at Kazan. Its tiny fists reached
cut, and it made queer, little sounds at
him, and then suddenly it kicked and
screamed with delight andTaughed. At
those sounds Kazan's whole body re
laxed, and he dragged himself to the
girl's feet. . v :'
"See," he likes the baby !" she cried.
"Mon pere, we must give him a name.
What shall it be?"
"Wait till morning for that," replied
the father. "It is late, Joan. Go into
the tent, and sleep. We have no dogs
now, and will travel slowly. So we
must start early."
With her hand on the tent-flap, Joan
turned.
"He came with the wolves," she said.
"Let us call him Wolf." With one arm
she was holding the little Joan The
other she stretched , out to Kazan.
Wolf! Wolf !" she called softly.
Kazan's eyes were on her. . He knew
that she was speaking to him, and he
drew himself a foot toward her.
"He knows it already I' she cried.
"Good nighty mon pere."
For a long time after she had gone
into the tent; old Pierre Radisson sat
on the edge of the sledge, facing the
fire, with Kazan at his feet. Suddenly
the silence was broken again by Gray
Wolf's lonely tiowl deep in the forest.
Kazan lifted his head and whined.
She's calling for you, boy," said
Pierre understandingiy.
He coughed, and clutched'a hand to
his breast, where the pain seemed rend
ing him. - - - v '
"Frost-bitten rung," he" said, speak
ing straight at Kazan. "Got it early in
the winter, up at Fond du Lac. Hope
well 'get home--in time with the
kids."
In the loneliness and emptiness of
the big northern wilderness one falls
into the habit of talking to one's self.
But Kazan's head was alert, and his
eves watchful, so Pierre spoke to him.
"We've got K to get them home, and i
' there's only you and me?te do it," he ,

said, twisting his beard. Suddenly he
clenched iis fists.
His hollow racking cough convulsed
him again.
"Home !" he panted, clutching his
chest. "It's eighty miles straight north
to the Churchill and I pray to God
we'll get there with the kids before
my lungs give out."
He rose to his feet, and staggered a
little as he walked. There was a collar
about Kazan's neck, and he chained
him to the sledge. After that he
dragged three or four small logs upon
the fire, and went quietly into the. tent
where Joan and the baby were already
asleep. Several times that nights Kazan
heard the distant voice of Gray Wolf
calling for him, but something told him
that he "must not answer it now. To
ward dawn Gray Wolf came close in to
the camp, and for the first time Kazan
replied to her.
CHAPTER VIII.
The Massage.
Kazan's howl awakened the man. He
came out of the tent, peered for a few
moments up at the sky, built up the fire,
and began to prepare breakfast. He
patted Kazan on the head, and gave
him a chunk of meat. Joan camei out
a few moments later leavingthe baby
asleep in. the tent. She rarr up jand
kissed Pierre, and then dropped down
on her knees beside Kazan, and talked
to him almost as he had heard her talk
"I Guessed That Much." 1
to the baby. When she Jumped up to
help her father, Kazan followed her,
and when Joan saw him standing firm
ly upon, his legs she gave a cry of
pleasure.
It was a strange journey that began
into the north that day. Pierre Radis
son emptied the sledge of everything
but the tent, blankets, food and the
furry nest for baby Joan. Then he har
nessed himself in the traces and
dragged the sledge over the snow. He
coughed Incessantly.
"It's a cough Tye had half the win
ter," lied Pierre, careful that Joan saw
no sign Of blood on his lips or beard.
'Til keep in the cabin for a week when
we get home."
Even Kazan, with that strange beast
knowledge which man, unable to ex
plain, calls instinct, knew that what he
said was not the truth. Perhaps it
was largely because he had heard other
men cough like this, and that for gen
erations his sledge-dog ancestors had
heard men cough as Radisson coughed
and had learned what followed It.
More than once he had scented death
in tepees and cabins, which he had not
entered, and more than once he had
sniffed at the mystery of death that
was not quite present, bfet near Just
as he had caught at a distance the
subtle warning of storm andv of fire.
And that strange thing seemed to be
very near to him now, as he followed
at the end of his chain behind the
sledge. It made him restless, and half
a dozen times; when the' sledge
stopped, he sniffed at the bit of hu

he delighted in keeping his father's

obedience the greater the joy. Bush,

to bear much fruit ; transform lives
and change circumstances through an

HAY SUPPLY FOR DAIRT COWS
Roughages Are Relatively Cheaper
Titan Grain, but Should Not Be'
Fed Exclusively,
Because of the large hay crop and :
the small demand for it now, roughages
should be fed to the limit of the dairy -cow's
capacity, says Prof. C. C. Hay
den of the Ohio experiment station.'
Relatively, the roughages, like hay j
and corn stover,.are much cheaper than
grains,- and hay is of unusually good j
quality. Roughage,-of course, should 1
not be fed exclusively, as such feeding I
might lead to compaction and death, f
even in dry cows and heifers. Some
grain Is needed in every dairy ration."
' This dairy specialist also declares ( wjfe for seven yeara and I recommended
"Choice alfalfa hay at $20 a ton is g,e Vegetable Compound to every wo

Timothy hay is recommended for
milking cows only in small quantities,
ta replace such grains as corn and
hominy. Leguminous roughages have
proved far superior in numerous ex
