rrHI0 snow ws fulling now, aud Mc
Tagffart had returned to the enhin.
After a little Raree followed in the
trail he had made along I ho I'djre of
the chnsm. and wherever .McTiiKgart
had stopped to peer over, Ituree ,
paused also. For a space IUh hatred i
of the man wns burned up in his dc- !
sire to join the Willow, and he con
tinued along, the gorge until, a quar
ter of a mile beyond where the Factor
had last looked Into it, he crime to
the narrow trail down which he and
Xepeefic had muny times adventured
in quest of rock-violets. The twisting
path that led down the face of the
cliff was filled with snow now. but
Haroe cleared his way through it un
til at last he stood at the edge of the
unfrozen torrent. Nepeese. was not
here. lie whined, and barked ngatn,
but this time there was in his aigiml
to her an uneasy repression, a whim
pering note which told that he did
not expect a reply. For five minutes
nftcr that he sat on bis haunches in
the snow, stolid as a rock. What it
was that came down out of the dark
mystery and tumult of the chasm to
him, what spirit-whispers of nature
that told him the truth, it is beyond
the power of rennon to explain. Hut
he listened, nnd he looked; and his
muscles twitched as tho truth grew
in him; and at last he raised his head
slowly until his black muzzle pointed
to the white storm in the sky, and out
of his throat there went forth the
quavering, long-drawn howl of the
husky who mourns outside the tepee
of a master who is newly dead.
On the trail, heading for Lac Bain,
Hush McTaggart heard the cry and
shivered.
It was the smell of smoke, thicken
ing in tlie air until it stung his nos-)
trils, that drew Baree at last away
from the chasm and back to the cab
in. There was not much left when he
came to the clearing. Where the
cabin had been was a red-hot,
smouldering masa. For a long time
he sat watching it, still waiting and
still listening. lie no longer felt the
effect of the bullet that had stunned
him, but his senses wer undergoing
another change now, as strange and
unreal as their struggle against that
darkness of nar-dtath in the cabin.
In a space that had not covered more
than an hour the world had twisted
itself grotesquely for Baree. That
long ago the Willow was sitting be
fore her little mirror in the cabin,
talking to him nnd laughing In her
happiness, while lie lay in THSt con
tentment on the floor. And now
there was no cabin, no Nepeese, no
Pierrot. Quietly he struggled to com
prehend. It was some time before
he moved from under the thick bal
sams, for already a deep and growing
suspicion began to guide his move
ments. He did not go nearer to the
smouldering mass of the cabin, but j
slinking low, made his way about tbej
circle of the open to the dog-corral, j
This took him under the tall spruce, j
For a full minute he paused here, j
sniffling at the freshly made mound ,
under ita white mantle of snow, j
When be went on, be slunk still low-!
er. and his ears were flat against ma
head.
The dog-corral was open and emp
ty. McTsggart bad seen to taat
Again Baree squatted back on bis
haunches and sent tortii tne aeain-
howl. Thie time it was for Pierrot.
In it there was a different note from
that of the howl he bad sent forth .
from the chasm; it waa positive, cer
tain. In the chasm his cry had been
tempered with doubt a questioning
hope, something that was so almost
human that McTaggart had shivered
on the. trail. But Baree knew what
lay in that freshily dug snow-covered
grave. A arant three feet of earth
could not hid its secret from him.
Tbera was death definite and un
equivocal. But for Nepeese be waa
still hoping and seeking.
Until noon he did not go far from
the cabin, but only onc did he actu
allv aoproarh and sniff about the
black pile of steaming timbers. Again
and again he circled the edge of the
Hearing, keeping just within the bush
and timber, sniffing the aid and
listening. Twice he went back to the
1 chasm. Late in the afternoon there
ciinic to liiiu a smiileu impulse that
carried him swiftly through the for
est. He did hot run openly now;
caution, suspicion, and fear had rous
ed in him afresh tin1 instincts of the
wolf. With his ears flattened against
the side of his hcud, his tail droop
ing until the tip of it dragged the
snow and his buck wringing in the
curious, evasive gait of the wolf, ho
scarcely made hiniGclf distinguishable
from the shadows of the spruce and
bntsnms.
On the afternoon of this day the
second big impulse came to him. It
was not reason, -and neither was it
instinct alone. It wns the struggle
halfway between,' the brute mind
fighting at its best with the mystery
of an intangible thing something that
could not be seen by the eye or heard
by the ear. Nepeese was not in the
cabin because there was no cabin.
She wns not at the tepee. He could
find no trace of her in the chnsm.
She was not with l'tarrot under the
hig spruce.
Therefore, unreasoning hut sure,
he began to follow the old trapline
into the north and west.

Farm Helps J
pJIK Department of Agriculture
estimates that more than 14,000,
000.000 pounds of seed, exclusive of
nerd potatoes, seed sugar cane and
other vegetative planting stocks are
sown annually in the Fulled State.
Even a small Improvement in the j
)URlity of seeds would result In larger
crops with little or no additional ex-
ponso and an enormous gain in the !
aggregate production or In an equal j
production on a smaller acreage.
Improvements in his crops is well i
within tho power of every farmer by i
:i eons of buying better class seed
rom expert organizations which are
1 constantly on the lookout for im
proved nnd higher yielding varieties,
I :nd by following the work of their I
h cal experiment Btations which are j
cnptontly testing varieMes with a 1
iw to determining thei- availability'
and value for the stot? which they
represent.
One of the easiest methods of In
creasing the yield is by ining more
carefully cleaned seed. A great deal
of seed is produced which should
never be sown as its quality does not
Justify its use. As the b up ply of farm
fceds 1s usually in excess or at least
equal to tho demand It would hardly
te profitable for farmers In general to
try to turn seed specialist and produce
t'leir own seed, for the time and pains
ncrcsaary would not yield the returns
to make it worth while and many of
them could produce something else
much more profitably.
The main feature in which Improve
ment is easy is in better seed-bniying
!..Mhod and closer study of varieties
best suited for the section In which
rhe farmer is located. Seedsmen have
this Information carefully collected
and catalogued nnd available for pur
chasers and the slate experiment sta
tions can give any farmer in their
stnte the information necessary to ns
sist him to getting higher yielding
fceed grain.
Tho practice of farmers of securing
seed from each other Is not calculated
to raise the grade of the crop, because
th-- selection Is none too carefully
made and expert seed-cleaning appa
ratus it not at hand.
