If nature was `taking this way of introducing Baree to the fact that there were more im- portant creatures in the "forest than dogs and wolves and owls and cray- fish. she was driving the point home with a little more than necessary em- phasis. For Wakayoo, the bear, weigh- ed six hundred pounds if he weighed an ounce. He was fat and sleek from a month's feasting on fish.

Since his fight with Papayuchi- and the rock under which he made his bed this night was at "least eight or nine miles from the windfalls. It was in the open of the creek bottom,/with the dark forest of spruce and cedars close on either, side; and when the moon rose, and the stars filled the sky, Baree could look out andsee the water of the stream shimmering in a glow al- most as bright as day. Directly in front of him, running to the water's edge, was a broad carpet of white sand. A- . cross this sand. half an hour later, . came a huge black bear.

It ran _again over bars of sand and stones, and Baree began to nose along the edge of these. For along time he had no success. The few crayfish he saw were the clamshells were shut so tight that even Kazan s powerful. jaws would have had difficulty in smashing them. It was almost noon when he caught his first crayfish, about as big as a man's forefinger. `He devoured it-ra.v- enously.

Napanao was dying, but she still struggled convulsively with her wings. Baree rose stealthily, a_}id after a moment in which he gathered all his remaining strength, he made a rush for her. His teeth sank into her breast---and not until then did he see Sekoosew. The ermine had raised his head from the death grip at the part- ridge s tlno'at, and his savage little red eyes glared a single instant. into Baree s. Here was something too big to kill, and with an angry squeak the- ermine was gone. Napanao's wings re- laxed, and the throb went out of her \body. She was dead. Baree hung on until he. was sure.

Forty-`eight hours ago a full stomach would not have made him a_. tenth part as happy as he was now.

In a way; it was fortunate for him that he had; almost died ofystarvation and'exhaust- g ion, for _his experience had `helped to] make a man of him---or a wolf-dog,. just as you are of mind to put it.
