Badly buffeted, and half drowned, Bares Is finally flunr on the bank, but the water has destroyed his sense of direction and he Is lost, lonely and hungry. For many days his life is one of fear and distress. He meets various creatures of the wild and roes through a He Is learning-morthunderstorm.

Baree recovers and learns nature's secrets rapidly. e Chapter IV For two or three days Bnree's excursions after food took him farther away from the pond. But each afternoon he returned to It until the third day, when he discovered a new creek, and Wakayoo. The creek was fully two miles back In the forest. It sang merrily over a gravelly bed and between chasm walls of split rock. It formed deep pools and foaming eddies, and where Baree first struck It, the air trembled with the distant thunder of a waterfall. It was much pleasunter than the dark and silent beaver stream. It seemed possessed of life, and the rush and tumult of It the Bong and thunder of the water gave to Baree entirely new sensations. He made his way along it slowly and cautiously, and It was because of this slowness and caution that he came suddenly and unobserved upon Wakayoo, the big black bear, hard at work fishing. . in n pool Wakayoo stood knee-deethat had formed behind a sand bar, and he was having tremendously good luck. Even as Baree shrunk back, his eyes popping at sight of this monster he had seen but once before, in the gloom of night, one of Wakayno's big paws sent a great splash of water high In the air, and a fish landed on the pebbly shore. A little while before the suckers had run up the creek in thousands to spawn, and the rapid lowering of the water had caught many of tl:em In these prison pools. Wakayoo's far, sleek body was evidence of the this circumstance had prosperity brought him. Although it was a little past the "prime" season for bearskins, Wakayoo's coat was splendidly thick and black. For a quarter of an hour Baree watched him while he knocked fish out of the pool. When at last he stopped there were twenty or thirty fish among the stones, some of thcra dead and others still flopping. From where he lay flattened out between two rocks, Baree could hear the crunching of flesh and bone as the bear- - devoured Ms dinner. It sounded good, and the fresh smell of fish filled him with a craving that had never been roused by crawfish or even partridge. In spite of bis fat and bis size. Wakayoo was not a glutton, and after he had eaten his fourth fish he pawed all the others together in a pile, partly covered them by raking up sand and stones with his long clnws, and finished his wnrk of caching by breaking down a small balsam sapling so that the fish were entirely concealed. Then he lumbered slowly away In the direction of the rumbling waterfall. Twenty seconds after the last of Wakayoo had disappeared in a turn of the creek, Baree was under the broken bnlstun. He dragged out a fish that was still alive. lie ate the whole of It, and It was delicious. Bare now found that Wakayoo had solved the food problem for him. and this day he did not return to the beaver pond, nor the next. The big bear was Incessantly fishing up anil down the ereek. and day after day Baree continued his feasts. For a week life was exceedingly pleasant. And then came the break the change that was destined to mean as much for Baree as that other day, long ago. had meant for Kazan, his father, when h killed the In the edge of the wilderness. Tills change came on the day when. In trotting around a great rock near the waterfall, Baree found himself face to face with Pierrot the hunter and Nepeese, the star-eyegirl who had shot him In the edge of the clearing. It was Nepeese whom he saw first. If It had been Pierrot, he would have turned back quickly. But again the blood of his forebear was rousing strange tremblings within him. Was it like this that the first woman had looked to Kazan? Baree stood still. Nepeese was not more than twenty feet from him. Sh. sat on n rock, full In the enrly morning sun, and wns brushing out her wonder-fn- l hair. Her lips parted. Her eyes shone In sn Instant like stars.

The evening before Pierrot and Nepeese had built a shelter of balsams behind the big rock, and on a small white plot of sand Pierrot was kneeling over a fire preparing breakfast while the Willow arranged her hair. He raised his head to speak to her, and saw Baree. In that instant the spell was broken. Baree saw the man-beaas he rose to his feet. Like a shot he was gone. Scarcely swifter was he than Nest peese. "Depechez vous, mon pere I" she ! cried. "It Is the dog-puQuick " In the floating cloud of her hair she sped after Baree like the wind. Pierrot followed, and In going he caught up his rifle. It was difficult for him to catch up with the Willow. She was like a wild spirit, her little moccasined feet scarcely touching the sand as she ran up the long bar. It was wonderful to see the lithe swiftness of her,' and that wonderful hair streaming out In the sun. Even now, In this moment's excitement.

Half the night Pierrot had Iain awake, gritting his teeth at thought of it ; and this morning, before Baree ran upon them, he had looked at Nepeese more closely than ever before In his life. She was beautiful. She was lovelier even than Wyola, her princess mother, who was dead. That hair which made men stare as If they could not believe! Those eyes like pools filled with wonderful starlight! Her sllmness, that was like a flower ! And McTaggart had said Floating back to him there came an excited cry. lie has turned "Hurry, Nootawe!

Suddenly be turned Into u cleft between two great rocks. Twenty feet In, his way was barred, and he run back. When he darted out, straight up the canyen, Nepeese was not a dozen yards behind him, and he saw Pierrot almost at her lde. The Willow gave a cry." 'Mima mana there he Is!" She caught her breath, and darted Into a copse of young balsams where Baree had disappeared. Like a great entangling web her loose hair Impeded her In the brush, and with an encour two-legge- d o aging cry to Pierrot she stopped to gather it over her shoulder as he ran past her. She lost only a moment or two, ana was after him. Fifty yards ahead of her Pierrot gave a warning shout. Baree had turned. Almost In the same breath he was tearing over his back trail, directly toward the Willow. He did not see her in time to stop or swerve aside, and Nepeese flung herself down in his path. For an instant or two they were together. Baree felt the smother of her hair, and the clutch of her hands. Then he squirmed away and darted again toward the blind end of the canyon. Nepeese sprang to her feet. She was panting and laughing. Pierrot came back wildly, and the Willow pointed beyond him. "I had him and he didn't bite!" she said, breathing swiftly. She still pointed to the end of the canyon, and she said again: "I had him and he didn't bite me, Nootawe!" That was the wonder of It. She had been reckless and Baree had not bitten her ! It was then, with her eyes shining at Pierrot, and the smile fading slowly from her lips, that she spoke softly the word "Baree," which In her tongue meant "the wild dog" a little brother of the wolf. "Come," cried Pierrot, "or we will lose him !" I'ierrot was confident. The canyon had narrowed. Baree could not get past them unseen. Three minutes later Baree came to the blind end of the canyon. a wall of rock that rose straight up like the curve of a dish. Feasting on fish and long hours of sleep had fattened him, and he was half winded as he sought vainly for an exit. He was at the far end of the di.shlike curve of rock, without a bush or a clump of grass to hide him, when Pierrot and Nepeese saw him again. Nepeese made straight toward him. I'ierrot, foreseeing what Baree would do, hurried to the left, at right angles to the end of the canyon. In and out among the rocks Baree sought swiftly for a way of escape. In a moment more he had come to the "box," or cup of the canyon. This was a break In the wall, fifty or sixty feet wide, which opened into a natural prison about an acre In extent. It was a beautiful sujob. On aiides but that leading Into the coulee It was shut In by walls of rock. At the far end a waterfall broke down In a series of rippling cascades. The grass was thick underfoot and strewn with flowers. In this trap Pierrot had got more than one fine haunch of venison. From It there was no escape, except In the face of his rifle. He called to Nepeese as he saw Baree entering it, and together they climbed the slope. Baree bad almost reached the edge of the little prison meadow when suddenly he stopped himself so quickly that he fell back on his haunches, and his heart Jumped up into his throat. Full In his path stood Wakayoo, the huge black bear I For perhaps a Baree hesitated between the two perils. He heard the voices of Nepeese and Pierrot. He caught the rattle of stones under their feet. And he was filled with a great dread. Then he looked at Wakayoo. The big bear had not moved an Inch. He, too, was listening. But to him there was n thing more disturbing than the sounds he heard. It was the scent which he caught In the air the Baree, watching him, saw his head swing tdowiy even as the footsteps of Nepeese and Pierrot became more and more distinct. It the first time P.aree had ever stood fice to face with the big bear. He had watched him fish ; he had fattened on Wakayoo's prowess; he had held him In splendid awe. Now there was something about the bear that took awny bis fear and gave him In Its place a new and thrilling confidence.
