'I'l_!Y Baree had squatted himself in the! foot-beaten plot of snow where Ne-i peese had last tood, his body stiffened and his forefeetwbraced as he looked down. He had seen her take the leap.` Many times that summer he had fol- lowed her in her daring dives i to the deep, quiet water of the pool. ut this. was a tremendous distance. She had! never dived into a place like that. He] could see the black heads `of the rocks, appearing and disappearing in the whirling foam like the heads of mon- sters at play; the roar of the water filled him with dread; his eyes caught the swift rush of crumbled ice between the rock walls. And she had gone down there! He had a great desire to follow her, to jump in, as he had always jumped `in after her. She was surely down b there even though he could not see her. Probably she was playing a- ' mong the rocks` and hiding her- self in the white froth and wondering 1 why he didn't come. But he hesitated l --hesitated with" his head and neck . over the abyss, his forefeet .-giving way _ - a little in the snow. With an effort` he` dragged himself backand whinedig He caught the fresh cent of McTag- gart's moccasins in the -snow, and the whine changed slowly into a long snarl. He looked over-againustill he could not see her. He barked--the short, sharp signal with which he always called her. There_ was no answer. Again and again he barked, and always there was nothing but the roar of the water that came back to him. Then for a few minutes he stood back, sil-` exit and listening, his body shivering` with the strange dread that was pos- sessing him. i , The snow was falling `now, and Mc- .' ~ Taggart had _returned to the cabin. 1 After a-little Baree followed in the! trail he had made along the edge- of]. the chasm, and wherever McTaggart; ` had stopped to peer over, Baree paused] ` also. For a space hisahatred of the I I "man was burned up in his esire`to join the Willow, and he continued along the gorge until, a quarter, of a mile beyond where the Factor had last looked into it, he` came to the narrow. a trail down which he and Nepeese had ' many times adventured. `in - quest of g rock-violets. The twisting path that led down the face of the cliff was filled with snow now, but Baree clear- ed his way through it until /at last he stood at the edge of the unfrozen an torrent. Nepeese was `not here. He rt whined, and barked again, but this fl __j I He stood in the edge of. the fore.sf' until the cabin was a mass of flames! . gnu. u wpav navy vv \lll\-IIPL Lul u As gush McTaggart had forgotten Baree, so Baree had forgotten the Fac- -tor from Lac Bain. When McTa.ggart had run along the edge ofthe chasm, It was not sentiment that `made him dig Pierrot's _grave close to the prin- cess mother's under thbtall spruce. It was not sentiment that made him dig* the grave at all, but caution. He buried Pierrot decently. Then he` pour-` ed Pierrot's stock of kerosene where it would. bemost effective and touched a match to it. ,He stood in the edge of the forest until "the cabin was a mass of flames. The .snow was falling thickly. The freshly made -grave was a. white mound, and the trails were filling. For the physical things hehad u--n vurvIsj*wvIIuIIluVU Taggart s heart as he turned back to- ward Lac Bain. No one would ever look into the grave__ of Pierrot Du- Quesne. And there was no one to be- tray him if such a miracle happened.` But of one thing his black soul would never be able to free itself.` Always he would see the pale,::tri_umphant face of the Willow as she stood facing him in that moment of her glory when, done there was no fear in Bush Mc-V l I .even as she waschoosing death rather than him, he had. crie to himself: .Ah! Is she not wonder u1!" ' r A ._ 'I'I..__I_ an-_nu_ _._,_ u n Mc'1`aggart, ?c'3?,d had `gone to the cabin of Pierrot, the trapper, at- tempted to bend Nepeese to his wishes; and on Pierrot's `unexpected return, ha.d,Eiot him. Now,-as he embraced the struggling girl, Baree, the dog, whom also he had shot and who Iwasiat first thought to be dead, rose, despite his wounds, and buried his teeth in the factor's leg. Nepeese, pursued by Mc- Taggart, mm from the house to 9. gorge and plunged into a fifty-foot abyss, to what` looked like certain `death. "`BAREE.

Where the cabin had `been was a read-hot, smouldering mass._ For a long time he sat watching it, still waiting and listening.

That long ago the Willow was {sitting before her little mirror in the cabin, talking to him and laughing in `her happiness, while he lay in .vast contentment on the floor. And now there was no cabin, -no Nepeese, no Pierrot.- Quietly he struggled to com- prehend. moved from "under the-thick balsams, for already a deep and growing sus- picion began to guide hisvmovements. He did not go nearer to the smoulder- ' ing mass of the cabin, but slinking low, .made his way about the circle of the open to the dog-corral. This took him under. the tall spruce. For a full min- .u_te' he paused here, sniffling at the} freshly made mound under its white` mantle of snow. When .he went on, he slunk still lower, and his ears were flat against his head.

It was a wonderful clear night af- ter the storm-cold and brilliant, with the shadows standing out as clearly as living things. The third idea came jto Baree now.

Loon. There was no change. There were no tracks in the snow but his own, made nine days - e ` UL `cl. sLee1 cnaln. ' There were plenty of rabbits in Pier- rot's traps; and Baree did not go hun- gry. Hereached the second trap-line cabinlate in the afternoon, after ten hours of travelling. He met with no ` very great disappointment here, for he had not anticipated very much. The snow had banked this cabin even high`- er than the other. It layrthree feet deep against _the door, and the window,_ was white with a thick coating of frost. Atthis place, which was close . to the edge` of a big barren, and "un- sheltere _by the thick forests farther back. P errot had built a shelter for his firewoqdmand in thisashelter Baree made his temporary home. All the next day he remained somewhere near .the~end of the-trap-line, skirting the edge- of the barren and investigating the short side line of a, dozen traps whic Pierrot and Nepeese had strung thro gh a swamp in which there had been many signs ofvlynx. It was the .-third day before he'set out on his re- turn to the Gray Loon. He nnf fr-nun! `innit *'nnCv '1--4----3 uucuay siumner. , With the first light of day Baree re- ' sumed the trail. He. was not so alert this morning. `There was the discon- soiate droop of his tail which the In- dians call the Akoosewin-the sign of ' the sick dog. And Baree was sick- not of body but of soul. The keenness ',of his hope had died, and he no longer _ expected to find the Vvillow. The se- cond cabin at the far end of the trap- line drgr him on, but ,it inspired in him none of the enthusiasm with which he `had hurried to the first. He travelled _ slowly and spasmodically, his suspi- cions of the forest. again replacing the excitement of h_is quest. He approach- ed each of .Pierrot's traps and dead- falls cautiously,'and twice he showed his fangs-once at a marten that snap- ped at him from under a root where it had dragged the trap in whichit was caught, and the second time at a big snowy owl tlit had come to steal bait and was now a prisoner at the end of a steel chain. ` Thnvn nrnun -`In.-.J-. -4! .._L1_.gL_: 5 vs- _._--- \I --v n V... .41.-up suuyuccc.

It was twenty-five miles from Pierrot'sg burned home to the firsttrap-cabin,| iand Baree hadmade ten-of these by: the most difficult. In the open spaces the snow was belly-deep and soft; fre- .quently he plunged through drifts in which for a few. moments he was buried. Three` times during the early - part of the night Baree heard the sav- - age di'rg'e of the wolves. Once it was! a wild pae-an of triumph as the hunters.-I 1 pulled down their kill less than half 3,'a mile away in the deep forest. But ', the voice no longer called to him.

Now it voiced hopelessness and a deep; despair. For half an hour he sat shiv-1 eringvwith hisback to the door and! iface to the starlit wilderness, as if there still remained the fleeting hope that Nepeese might follow after him over the trail.

He would havegone hungry all `-that day, but,in the third mile from `the cabin he came to a. trap in which there was a big snowshoe rabbit. The rabbit was still alive, and he killed it and ate his fill. Until dark he did! not miss a trap. In one of them there was a lynx; inanother a. fisher-cat;` sniffed at a snowy mound under which! 3' lay the body of a red fox killed by one. . of Pierrot's poison-baits.

Yesterday Baree had smelled death, `and he knew without process of rea- soning that the dead was Pierrot. How- he knew this, and why he accepted the tacta inevita 1e, is one of the myster- ' ies. which at _ imes seems to give the - direct challenge to those who concede nothing more than instinct to the brute mind. He knew that Pierrot was dead without exactly knowin gwhat death ,was. But of-one thing e was sure: he would never see Pierrot again; he would never.-hear his voice again; he ' would `never hear again the swish- swish-swish of his snowshoes in the` itrail ahead, and so on the `trap-line he I did not look for Pierrot. Pierrot was gone forever. But Baree had not yet , iassociated death with Nepeese. He gwas filled with a great uneasiness; what came to him from out of the chasm had made him tremble with fear! , `and suspense; he sensedsthe thrill of!` something strange, of something im-,` pending, and yet even as he had given; * the death-_howl in the chasm, it must! have been for Pierrot.
