The sun was warm above, as always tti the mountain winters of southern Snowbird and Dan cleared Oregon. spaces beside the fire and slept. Lennox, who had rested oa the Journey, lay on his sled and with his uninjured arm tried to hack enough wood from the saplings that Pan had cut to keep the fire burning. At three they got up, still tired and aching In their bones from exposure. Twenty-fou- r hours had passed since d they had tasted food, and their There systems complained.

Pan was less hopeful told what his words did not. The tines deft deeper about his lips and eyes; and Snowbird's heart ached-whe- n he tried to encourage her with a smile. It was a wan, strange smile that couldn't quite hide the first sickness of despair. The shadows quickly lengthened simply leaping over the snow from the sun. The twilight deepened, the snow turned gray, and then. In a vague way, the Journey began to partake of a quality of unreality. It was not that the cold and the snow and their hunger were not entirely real, or that the wilderness was no longer naked to their eyes. It was Just that,thelr whole effort seemed like mime uimuiui, unouruenm journey in a dream a stumbling advance under difficulties too many and real to be tinre-plenlshe- bluffed." Hut hs the hours passed, It became Increasingly clifilcult to forget the wolf I ack. It was only a matter of turning the head and peering for an Instant Into the shadows to catch a glimpse of one of the creatures. Their usual fetur-4men, always their first emof tion, had given way wholly to a hunting cunning; an effort to procure their game without toti great risk of their own lives. In the desperation of their hunger they could not remember such They things as the fear of men. spread out farther, and at lust Pan looked up to find one of the- - gray beasts waiting, like a shadow' himself, lu.the shadow of a tree not oue hundred feet from the sled. Snowbird whipped out her pistol. "Pon't dare!" Pan's. voice cracked out to her. He didn't speak loudly ; yet the words came so sharp and commanding, so like pistol fire Itself, tltat they penetrated Into her consciousness and choked back the nervous reflexes that In an Instant might have lost them one of their three precious shells. She caught herself with a sob. Pan shouted at the wolf, and It melted Into the shadows. "You won't do It again. Snowbird?" he asked her very humbly. But his meaning was clear. He was not as skilled with a pistol as she; but If her nerves were breaking, the gun must be taken from her hands. The three shells must be saved to the moment of utmost need. "No," she told him, looking straight Into his eyes. "I won't do It again." He believed her. He knew that she spoke the truth. He met her eyes with a half smile. Then, wholly without wanting, Fate played Its last trump. Again the wilderness reminded them of Its might, and their brave spirits were almost broken by the utter re-- ; morselessness of the blow. The girl went on her face with a crack of wood. . fast-fallin- g tn. The first sign was the far-of- f cry of the wolf pack. It was very faint simply a stir In the eardrums, yet It was entirely clear. That clear, cold mountain air was a perfect telephone system, conveying a message distinctly, no. matter how faintly. There were no tall buildings or cities to dis turb the ether waves. And all three of them knew at the same Instant It was not exactly the cry they had heard before. They couldn't have told Just why, even If they had wished to tnlk about It In some dim way. It had lost the strange quullty of despair It had held before. It was as If the pack were running with, renewed life, that each wolf was calling (o another with a dreadful sort of exultation. It was an excited cry, too not the long, sad song they had learned to listen for. It sounded Immediately, behind, them, . They couldn't help but listen. No human ears could have shut out the sound. But none of them pretended that they had heard. And this was the worst sign of all. Each one of the Maybs We Can Keep Them Bluffed." . - 1939, by Little, Brown h C counts because. I didn't win fat .

"And this Is the end?" she asked him. She spoke very bravely. No!" His hand tightened on hers. 'No, so long as an ounce of strength remains. To tight never to give up may (Jod give me spirit for It till I die." , And this was no bile prayer. His eyes raised to the starry sky as he v spoke. "But, son," Lennox asked hlra rath er quietly, "what can you 'do?.. The wolves aren't going to wait a great deal longer, and we can't go on." 'There's one thing moreone. more "I trial to make," Pan answered. thought about It at first, but It was too long a chance to try 1f there waa any other way. And I suppose you thought of It too." "Overtaking Cranston?" , "Of course. And it sounds like a crazy dream. But listen, both of you. If we have got to die, up here In the snow and It looks like we had what beis the thing you want done ' fore we go?" Lennox's hands clasped, and he leaned forward on the sled. Tuy Cranston he eaht "Yes !" . Dan's voice rang, "Crans ton's never going to be paid unless we do It There will be no signs of incendiarism at the house, and no proofs. They'll find our bodies In the snow, and we'll Just be a mystery, with no one made to pay. The evidence In my pocket will be taken by Cranston, some time this winter.

It sounds pfrfectlyjUy to talk aoout nnaing Cranston winter quarters, and then, with my bare hands, conquering him, taking his food and his blankets and his snowshoes and his rifle, to fight awa;-- these wolves, and bringing 'em back here." "Ton wouldn't be barehanded," the girl reminded him. "You could have the pistol." He didn't even seem to hear her. "Fve been thinking about it. It't a long, long chance much worse than the chance we had of getting out by straight walking. I think we could have made it, if the wolves had kept off and the snowshoe hadn't broken. It would have nearly killed us, but I believe we could have got out. That'a why I didn't try this other way first A man with his bare hands hasn't much of a chance against another with a rifle, and I don't want you to be too hopeful. And of course, the hardest problem Is finding his camp. "But I do feel sure of one thing: that he is back to his old trapping line on the North Fork somewhere south of here and his camp is somewhere on the river. I think he would have gone there so that he could cut off any attempt 1 might make to get through with those letters. My plan Is to start back at an angle that will curry me between the North Fork and our old house. Somewhere in there I'll find his tracks, the tracks he made when he first came over to burn up the house. I suppose he waa careful s t4 mix 'em up after once he arrived here, but the first part of the way be lively wnlked stalght toward .the house from his camp. Somewhere, if go that way.

Nothing will be left. No regrets. We. will have made the last trial. I'm not going to waste any time, Snowbird. The sooner we get your fire built tht better." Her snow shoe had been cracked by her fall of the day before, when running to the fire, and whether she struck some other obstruction in the snow, .or whether the cracked wood had slutply given way under her weight, mattered not even enough for them to Investigate. As In all great disasters, only the result remained.
