For a time he was oppressed by the shiv ering note of death that had come to him In Sandy McTrigger's cry, and he slipped through the bansklans like a shadow, his ears flattened, his tall trailing, his hindquarters betraying that curious slinking quality of the wolf and dog stealing away from dan ger. Then he came out upon a plain, and the stillness, the billion stars In the clear vault of the sky, and the keen air that carried with it a breath of the Arctic barrens made him alert and questioning. He faced the direc tion of the wind. Somewhere off there, far to the south and west, was Gray Wolf. For the first time In many weeks be 6£t back on his haunches and gave the deep and vibrant call that echoed weirdly for miles about him. Back In the bansklans the big Dane heard it, and whined. From over the still body of Sandy McTrlgger the little profes sor looked up with' a white tense face, and listened for a second cry. But Instinct told Kazan that to that first call there would be no answer, and now he struck out swiftly, galloping mile after mile, as a dog follows the trail of Its master home. He did not turn back to the lake, nor was bis direction toward Bed Gold City. As straight as he might have followed a road blazed by the hand of man he cut across the forty miles of plain and swamp and forest and rocky ridge that lay between him and the McFar lane. All that night he did- not call again for Gray Wolf. With him rea soning was a process brought about by habit—by precedent—and as Gray Wolf had waited for hi in many times before he knew that she would be waiting for him now near the sand bar. By dawn he had reached the river, within three miles of the sand-bar. Scarcely was the sun up when be stood on the white strip of sand where he and Gray Wolf, bad come down to drink. Expectantly and confidently he looked about him for Gray Wolf, whin ing softly, and wagging his tall. Ha began to search for her scent, but rains had washed even her footprints from the clean sand. All that day he searched for her along the river and out on the plain. He went to where they had killed their last rabbit. He sniffed at the bushes where the poison baits had hung. Again and again he sat back on' his haunches and sent out his mating cry to her. And slow ly, as he did these things, nature was working In him that miracle of the wild which the Creed have named the "spirit call." As it had worked in Gray Wolf, so now It stirred the blood of Kazan. With the going of the sun, and the sweeping about him of shadowy night, he turned more and more to the south and east. His whole world was made up ,pf. Ihg. trail* ovef which he had " y * hunted. Beyond those pluces lie did not know that there won sucli u thing as existence. And In that world, muall In his understanding of things, wfcs Gray Wolf. He could not miss her. That world, In his comprehension of it, ran from the McParlnne In a nar row trail through the forest* and over the plains to the little valley. If Gray Wolf wss not here—she was there, and tirelessly he resumed his quest of her. Not until the stars were fading out tt the sky again, and gray day was giving place to night, did exhaustion and hunger stop him. He killed a rab bit, and for hours after he had feasted tie lay close to his kill, and slept, rhen he went on. The fourth night he came to the little valley between the two ridges, and under the stars, more brilliant aow In the chill clearness of the early autumn nights, he followed the creek down Into their old swamp home. It was broad day when he reached what had once been his home and Gray Wolfs, and for many minutes Kazan 9tood silent and motionless sniffing the air. Until now his spirit bad remained unbroken. Footsore, with thinned sides and gaunt head,' he circled slowly through the swamp. All that day he searched. And his crest flat now, and there was a hunted look In the droop of his shoulders and In the shift ing look of his eyes. Gray Wolf was gone. Slowly nature was Impinging that fact upon him. She had passed out of his world and out of his Ufa, and he was filled with a loneliness and a grief so great that the forest seemed strange, and the stillness of the wild a thing that now oppressed and fright ened him. Once more the dog In him was mastering the wolf. With Gray Wolf he had possessed the world of freedom. Without:her. that world was so big and strange and empty that It appalled him. . J Late In the afternoon he came upon a little pile of crushed clam shells on the shore of the stream. He sniffed at then*—turned away—went back, and sniffed again. Rut the scent she had left behind was not- strong enough to tell Kazan, and for a second time he turned away. That night he slunk under. a log, and cried himself to sleep. Deep In the night he grieved In his uneasy slumber, like a child. And day after day, and night after night, Kazan remained a stinking creature of the big swamp, mourning for the one creature that had brought him out of ch%os Into light, who had filled his world for him, and who. In going from him, had taken from this world even the things that Gray Wolf had lost In her blindness. CHAPTER XX. The Call of Bun Rock. In the golden glow of the autumn sun there came up the stream over looked by the Sun Rock one day a man, a woman and a child in a canoe. Civilization had done for lovely Joan what It had done for many another wild flower transplanted from the depths of the wilderness. Her cheeks were thin. Her blue eyes had lost their luster. She coughed, and when she coughed the man looked at her with love and fear In his eyes. Hut now, slowly, the man had begun to see the transformation, and on the day their canoe pointed up the stream and Into the wonderful valley that had been their home before the call of the distant city came to them, he noted the flush gathering once more In her cheeks, the fuller redness of her Hps, and the gathering glow of happiness and content In her eyes. He laughed softly as he saw these things, and he blessed the forests. In the canoe she had leaned back, with her head al most against his shoulder, and he stopped paddling to draw her to him, and run his fingers through the soft golden masses of her hair. "Yon are happy again, Joan," he laughed joyously. "The doctors were right Tou are a part of the forests." "Yes, I am happy," she whispered, and suddenly there came a little thrill Into her voice, and she pointed to • white finger of sand running out Into the stream. "Do you remember—years and years ago, It seem»—that Kazan left as here? She was on the sand over there, calling to him. Do yon remember?" u l>ere waft a. I1U|« trem ble about her niouth. and she added, "I wonder —where they—have gone." The cabin was as they had left It Only the crimson bakneeah had grown up about It, and shrubs and tall grass had sprung up near Its walls. Once more It took on life, and dny by day the color came deeper Into Joan's cheeks, and her voice was filled with Its old wild sweetness of song. Joan's husband cleared the trails over his old trap-lines, and Joan and the little Joan transformed the cabin Into home. One night the man returned to the cabin late, and when he came In there was a glow of excitement In Joan's blue eyes, and a tremble In her voice when she greeted htm. "Did you hear It?" she asked. "Did you hear—the call?" lie nodded, stroking her soft hair. "I was a mile back In the creek awamp," he said. "I heard It!" Joan'* hands clutched his arms. "It wasn't Kazan." sfie said. "I would recognize his voice. But It seemed to me It was like the other— the call that .came that morning from the sand-bar, bis mate?" The roan was thinking. Joan's fin gers tightened. She was breathing a little qnlckly. "Will you promise me this?" she asked, "Will yon promise me that yon will urver hunt jjr Jam .tar wolvsaT* GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1917 ~"T haft tnougnt of'that," he replied. "I thought of It—after I heard the calL Tea, I will promise." • Joan's arms stole up about his neck. "We loved Kazan," she whispered. "And yon might'Vtll him—or her." Suddenly she stopped. Both listened. The door was a little ajar, and to them there came again the walling mate-call of the wolf. Joan ran to the door. Her husband followed. Togeth er they stood silent, and with tense breath Joan pointed over the starlit plain. "Listen 1 Listen I" she coramsnded. "Ifa her cry, and It came from th« Sun Rock 1" She ran out Into the night, forget ting that the man was closo behind her now, forgetting that little Joun was alone In her bed. And to them, from miles and miles across the plain, there came a walling cry In answer—a cry that seemed a part of the wind, and that thrilled Joan until her breath broke In a strange sob. Farther out on the plain she went and then stopped, with the golden glow of the autumn moon and the stars shimmering In her bolr and eyes. It was many minutes before the cry came again, and then It was so near that Joan put her hands to her modth, and her cry rang out over the plain as in the days of old. "Kazan I Kazan I Kazan I". At the top of the Sun Rock, Gray Wolf —gaunt and thinned by starva tion—heard the woman's cry, and the call that was In her throat died away A Strange Fire Ldaped Through Hla Body. I In a whine. And to the north a swiftly moving shadow stopped for a moment, and stood like a thing of rock under the starlight. It was Kazan. A strange fire leaped through his bojly. Every fiber of his brute understanding was afire with the knowledge that here was , home. It was here, long ago, that he I had lived, and loved, (iind fought—and all at once the dreams that had grown 'faded and Indistinct in his memory •came back to him as real living things. For, coming to him faintly over the 1 plain, he heard Joan's voice 1 In the starlight Joan stood, tense I and white, when from out of the pale mists of the moon-glow he came to her, cringing on Ills belly, panting and wind-run, and with a strange whining note in his throat. And as Joan went to him, her arms reaching out, her lips sobbing his name over and over again, the man stood and looked down upon them with the wonder of a new and I greater understanding in his face. He I had no fear of the wolf-dog now. And as Joan's arms hugged Kazan's great shaggy head up to her he heard the whining gasping Joy of the beast and the sobbing whispering ' voice of the girl, and with tensely gripped hands he faced the Sun Rock. ! "Good heavensP he breathed "I be lieve—it's so—" As If in response to the thought in his mind, there came once more across the plain Oray Wolfs Mate-seeking cry of grief and of loneliness. Swiftly as though struck by a lash Kazun was on his feet—oblivions of Joan's touch, of her voice, of the presence of the man. In another Instant he was gone, and Joan flung herself against her J husband's breast, and almost fiercely took bis face between her two hands, j "Now do yon bellete?" she cried pantlngly. "Now do you believe In the • Ood of my world —the Ood I have lived with, the Rod that gives souls to the j wild things, the Ood that—that has ' brought—us all —together—once more —home I" nts orms closed gently about her. "I believe, my Joan," he wblxpered. "And you understand —now —what , It means. Thou shalt not kill 7" : ' "Except that It brings us life —yes, I understand." he replied. Her warm, soft hands stroked his face. Her blue eyes, filled with the glory of the stars, looked up Into bis. "Kazan- and she —yotj and I—and . the baby I Are you sorry—that we came back?" she asked. So close he drew her agninst- his breast that she did not hear the words he whispered In the soft warmth of her hair. " And after that, for many hours, they sat In the starlight In front of the cabin door. But they did not hear again that lonely cry from the Sun Rock. Joan and her husband understood, j "Hell visit u* agnln tomorrow," the map said at last. "Come, Joan, let us go to bed." I Together they catered the cabin. I And that night, aide by side, Kazan and Oray Wolf bunted again In the moonlit plain. THE END. Roumanian Dance*. Sunday dances have long been fea tures of peasant life In Roumanla.

EARLY PASSAGE OF FOOD BILL l PROBPECT POR PABBAQE BY JULY 1 APPEARS MUCH BRIGHTER NOW. Senate Leaders Tentatively Agreeing to Cohtpromlees Is Designed to | Greatly Expedite i House Is Making Progress. Washington.—Prospect for passage of the administration food control bill by July 1. as earnestly desired by President Wilson, appeared brlghtel after the House had rejected lmport antamendments which promised to da lay final action, and Senate leaders had tentatively agreed to compromises designed to greatly expedite consider ation. Rejection In the House on a point of order of proposals to Include shoes, clothing, farm mschlnery and cotton seed under the regulation food provis ions cleared the way to passage to such an extent that a final vote is expecttod soon. Prohibition proposals and Rep resentative Lenroot's amendment to strike out the licensing feature of the bill constitute the only apparent ob stacles to a final vote at that time. To pass the measure with as few addi tions to the original draft as possible In order to expedite conference con sideration Is tbe plan of Representa tive Lever, in charge of the measure. He told the House that minor changea could be made at leisure while It now Is ot the utmost Importance that the big control machinery be started. House republicans are rallying gener ally to support the bill. One of the speeches In Its behalf was delivered by Representative Gillette, ot Massa chusetts, acting republican leader. While perfunctory debate was pro ceeding In the Senate, substantial progress towards composing differen ces was made by the leaders at Infor mal conferences. The changos tenta tively agreed to Include: PROVISIONAL MINISTER IS ORGANIZING RUSSIA For Purpose of Conducting WCr Says Count Bakhmetleff.
