The woods rustled with the motion of unseen life. A porcupine rattled across the trail ahead. An otter swam down stream, two martens scuttled into a tangle of brush. A fox trotted by, stopped, one foot raised, looked back before he dashed off as though pursued by furies. A fat ptarmigan rose with a whiz which sent Janices heart into her mouth. A - thirsty mosquitoes buzzed about her head, before drifting smoke sent them winging. Did everything living feel the pervading imminence of danger? Paxtons eyes were inscrutable as they met Janices. Something about the grimness of his mouth set her heart thumping. He waved his hand toward the hub "Lets investigate.

Its glow revealed a room high enough for a man, a tall man, to stand upright without hitting his head. A bunk against one wall was heaped with dried boughs of spruce. A pipe, one end poking through the roof, acted as e between a rusty and the outer world. A degenerate chair and a rickety stool kept dissolute company. A table, whose legs sprawled outward like n calf, those of a teetering supported two tallow streaked bottles and a dirty pack of cards. A burned rusty kettle and a frying-pa- n black hung from a crude shelf. Against the wall leaned an axe with a long handle and nicked blade. Paxton snapped a gold lighter. After several futile attempts he succeeded in producing a small flame which he applied to a candle stub In one bottle. "We will save our matches for the fires.

His eyes with a laugh in their blue depths met hers. "I don't like the suggestion of criticism of my appearance In your expression. You're not so hot yourself. The liking she had felt for him during the first weeks of their acquaintance, which had flamed into love or fascination crumbled into gray ashes of doubt and distrust, stole back.

It was humiliating not to be able to start a dinky little fire, but she would have to ask Ned to help. She stepped to the entrance for air. What was that? Good grief! What was that behind the tree near him? A dog? A gray dog? A dogs eyes wouldnt be green. A wolf! What was hanging from the creature's cruel mouth? Cloth! A piece of plaid cloth caught on one yellowed fang. Sickening! She tried to call a warning. Her tongue dried to the roof of her mouth. Her body prickled with horror. The animal took a stealthy step toward the man on the stump. Stopped. Not a muscle rippled under its skin. Ned would have no chance to save himself. Eyes on the motionless creature, Janice backed to the table, seized the revolver. On the doorsill she dropped to one knee. "Steady! Remember Jimmys inSteady! structions, she warned herself.
