Cautiously, with ax poised for
quick blow, be moved In on hi shoes,
measuring with bis eyes the length
of th chain on the -now when
straightened by the leap of the trapped
beast. Hut the carcajou did not
spring and thus open himself to the
blow from the menacing ax. Instead,
his smoldering red eyes followed the
circling Brock, bis bod; slowly pivot
ing to face bis enemy.
Aguln and U'uln brock tried to lure
the beast to leap to the end of the
chain, within range of the poised ax,
but with uncanny Instinct the wolver
ine refused to spring.
Provoked at bis failure. Brock
turned to -et his gun from the sled
and, wit' the risk of injuring the
pelt, sboot the brute, when be bad
an idea.
"By golly 1 I'll poke him Into It with
stick I" be cried, with a doubtful
look at the plunging Flush struggling
to free himself from the rawhide
which be. blm to a neighboring tree.
So, cutting and trimming t sapling.
Brock again approached the fifty
pounds if living dynamite, that
watched him, bead lowered, Up curled
in a red auarL,
With cough of rage the carca
jou crushed the extended pole In bis
jaws, and with a twist of his bead
tor away a foot of the spruce stick.
'Mad, eh?" teased Brock, thrilled
with the excitement of bailing the
most savage denizen of the forest.
"I'll rna-e you Jump yet I" And tb
boy fiercely prodded the hatry body.
With a stream the Lcfurlated beast
stiffened and sprang into the ulr. Drop
ping bis pole. Brock leaped back be
yond the radius of the chain. As bo
did, the taut chain jerked the wol
Terine to the suuw. Stepping In, Brock
swung the lifted ax, but again the
beast left the snow, and ax and hairy
body met In mid air with a thud.
As the boy struck again, the cart
Jou again leaped, tearing bis bind
foot free of the trap while the ax
head buried itself deep to the snow.
Springing back. Brock shleldet bis
head with raised left arm as the mad'
dened beast burled himself upon blm.
The shoulder and back of the skin
capote were slashed like cloth, as the
Jong skinning knife of the boy plunged
deep into the ribs of the raging beast.
Again Brock thrust desperately under
his upraised arm at the demon whose
teeth gripped the back of the the skin
cspote while razor-like claws ripped
the bide to ribbons. Then, a great
body catapulted Into battling carcajou
and boy, burling them to the snow
Struggling to his knees, tree of bis
enemy, with smeared knife blade
aimed for a thrust. Brock stared at
the battle In the snow beside blm. In
a blurred melee of slate-gray and
brown, snarling their bate as they
fought to the death, thrashed the
husky and the wounded carcajou.
Hampered by the sniipied traces, col
lar and belly-band of the harness
though be was, the charging dug bad
found bis mark as be leaped to the sld
of bis muster. Straight to their goal
the great canine of Flash bad driv
en through the thick neck muscles
of the wolverine. Desperately the
beast, weukeued from the knife
thrusts, writhed and twisted to reach
the husky with the flying Bulls of
bis claws. But the tusks of Flush,
seeking the spine behind the skull,
never lost their conquering grip as
they knifed their way to their goal.
Neck clamped from the rear In the
vise of the husky's tusks, bis cruel
paw snapping helplessly on air as be
coughed his tiste, the wolverine fought
to reach his enemy with his feet, but
as be squirmed to slice the greut
body, slwajs with a wrench, Flash
threw Mm and kept to the beast's
back, thus avoiding the slush of the
claws.
Then, as the excited Brock bung
over the battle in the snow with
poised knife, the rust-brown body
suddenly ceased to writhe; the blood-
slavered Jaws guped widely In a red
grimace, the great forefeet, with their
knives of claws reached out In last
quivering slush at the air.
The long fangs of the Ungavs had
wrenched through to their mark. The
pine of the carcajou was broken,
"Give it to hi in. Flash I" gasped
Brock, suspicious, doubtful of what
be saw. "(Jive it to him, boy!"
Lifting the bead of the brute, hi
teelb still locked, Flash shook him
with great wrenches of bl Iron neck
Sutixlled, wltb a low rumble, be fierce
ly nuw.led his stiffening enemy. Then
with the ileod brute between his fore
legs, Flash proudly lifted bl Hunt
eye to the muster.
"You killed blm, boy I" cried Brock,
proudly. "You broke hi neck a car
cujou'i neck and not a bud slash on
you I By the great horned owl, you're
a wonder I"
Then, In the custom of his kind, the
conquering dug raised bl pean of vie-
drawn bowl Unit wtiked tne siieui
forest.
Throwlna off bl tattered coat,
rimrk examined his rlnned duffle
shirt and the scratches on arm and
back.
"Flash I" he cried, "we're two lucky
birds! That door (kin wa so tough,
I'm hardly more than scratched. I
got him with that first stub close to
the heart took the fire out of him, 1
nuess." Brock leaned over and ex
amined the thrusts in the body of the
dead carcajou.
Yes," be added. 'And oue hind
foot wa ruined by the trap. If he
had had a fair chance to get a pur
chase with bis teeth In my shoulder,
he would have slushed my old hide
to pieces, boy."
Luckily for Brock the wolverine
had bung on his shoulder and side
burely an Instnut the first snup of
his Jaws, owing to the thick skin
coat, only breaking the skin, and his
punishing claws hardly getting Into
action wtKn the knife tbnrsta Into
his lung and the charge of Flash
shook blm off. And it was fortunate
for Flash be had not met an on-
wounded carcajou. The neck hold be
had got In his leap, had saved him
from a ripped pelt
Finding that neither he nor hi dog
were hurt beyond painful scrntchos.
Brock donned bl torn enpote, and
burrled back to the main camp to
treat the slight wounds on shoulder
and left arm, and get his dulle coat.
And so, through February, the boy
labored on their trap-lines, unmolested
by their enemies north of the big lake,
while they added to the already rich
catch of fur which might never ee

determined, but most of the small boys
who catcb fish think these stone are
lucky pieces and seek them for the
mere purpose of pocket pieces. It I
generally agreed that these stones are
In some way connected wltb the fish'
auditory faculties, but according to an
other theory lliey belong to the fish's
static sense, a term referring to the
complex process by mean of whlcb
fislie are enubled to maintain equilib

entirely mineral compositions, being
soluble In weak acetic acid. Tbey
show annular or periodic rings of
growth, somewhat analogous to the
annular rings of trees, and are fre
quently used to determine the age of
fishes.
