CHAPTER XIVContinued.
It was late in the afternoon when
Kazan and Gray Wolf came out on a
sand bar five.or six miles down-stream.
Kazan was lapping up the cool water
when Sandy drifted quietly around a
bend a hundred yards above them. If
the wind bad been right, or if Sandy
had been using his paddle. Gray Wolf
would have detected danger. It was
the metallic click-click of the old-fash-
toned lock of Sandy’s rifle that awak­
ened her to a sense of peril. Instantly
she was thrilled by the nearness of it.
Kazan heard the sound and stopped
drinking to face it. In that moment
Sandy pressed the trigger. A belch of
smoke, a roar of gunpowder, and Ka­
zan felt a red-hot stream of fire pass
with the swiftness of a lightning-flash
through his brain. He stumbled back,
his legs gave way under him, and he
crumpled down in a limp heap. Gray
Wolf darted like a streak off into the
bush. Blind, she had not seen Kazan
wilt down upon the white sand. Not
until she was a quarter of a mile away
from the terrifying thunder of the
white man's rifle did she stop and wait
for him.
I Sandy McTrigger grounded his canoe
on the sand bar with an exultant yell.
“Got you, you old devil, didn’t I?” he
cried. 'Td ’a’ got the other, too, if I'd
4’ had something besides this d------
old relic I"
He turned Kazan’s head over with
the butt of his gun, and the leer of sat­
isfaction in his face gave place to a
sudden look of amazement. For the
first time he saw the collar about Ka­
zan's neck.
“My Gawd, it ain’t a wolf,” he
gasped.. “It’s a dog, Sandy McTrigger
—a dog!”
CHAPTER XV.
Sandy’s Method.
McTrigger dropped on his knees tn
the sand. The look of exultation was
gone from his face. He twisted the
collar about the dog’s limp neck until
he came to the worn plate, on which he
could make out the faintly engraved
letters K-a-z-a-n. He spelled the let­
ters out one by one, and the look In his
face was of one who still disbelieved
what he had seen and heard.
“A dog!” he exclaimed again. "A
dog, Sandy McTrigger an' a—a
beauty 1”
He rose to his feet and looked down
on his victim. A pool of blood lay in
the white sand at the end of Kazan’s
nose. After a moment Sandy bent over
to see where his bullet had struck. His
inspection filled him with a new and
greater Interest The heavy ball from
the muzzle-loader had struck Kazan
fairly on top of the head. It was a
glancing blow that had not even broken
the skull, and like a flash Sandy un­
derstood the quivering and twitching
of Kazan's shoulders and legs. He
had thought that they were the last
muscular throes of death. But Kazan
was not dying. He was only stunned,
and would be on his feet again in a few
enemy, man-man and theeus AU 09
the wild aroeis “no the clup.All of
the wild ferocity of his nature was
roused in an Instant Without reason­
ing he knew that Gray Wolf was gone,
and that this man was accountable for
her going. He knew that this man
had also brought him his own hurt, and
what he ascribed to the man he also
attributed to the club. In his newer
undertaking of things, born of freedom
and Gray Wolf, man and club were one
and Inseparable. With a snarl he
leaped at Sandy. The man was not ex­
pecting a direct assault, and before he
could raise his club or spring aside
Kazan had landed full on his chest
The muzzle about Kazan's jaws saved
him. Fangs that would have torn his
throat open snapped harmlessly. Un­
der the weight of the dog's body he
fell back, as if struck down by a
catapult
As quick as a cat he was on his feet
again, with the end of thè babiche
twisted several times about his hand
Kazan leaped again, and this time he
was met by a furious swing of the club.
It smashed against his shoulder, and
sent him down In the sand. Before he
could recover Sandy was upon him,
with all the fury of a man gone mad.
He shortened the babiche by twisting It
again and again about his hand, and
the club rose and fell with the skill and
strength of one long accustomed to its
use. The first blows served only to
add to Kazan’s hatred of man, and the
ferocity and fearlessness of his attacks.
Again and again he leaped in, and each
time the club fell upon him with a
force that threatened to break his
bones. There was a tense hard look
about Sandy’s cruel mouth. He had
never known a dog like this before, and
he was a bit nervous, even with Kazan
muzzled. Three times Kazan’s fangs
would have sunk deep In his flesh had
It not been for the babiche. And if the
thongs about his jaws should slip, or
break—.
Sandy followed up the thought with
a smashing blow that landed on Ka­
zan’s head, and once more the old bat­
tler fell limp upon the sand. McTrlg-
ger's breath was coming In quick gasps.
He was almost winded. Not until the
club slipped from his hand did he
realize how desperate the fight had
been. Before Kazan recovered from
the blow that had stunned him Sandy
examined the muzzle and strengthened
It by adding another babiche thong.
Then he dragged Kazan to a log that
high water had thrown up on the
shore a few yards away and made the
end of the babiche rope fast to a dead
snag. After that he pulled his canoe
higher up on the sand, and began to
prepare camp for the night.
For some minutes after Kazan’s
stunned senses had become normal he
lay motionless, watching Sandy Mc-
minutes.
¡ Sandy was a connoisseur of dogs—of
dogs that had worn sledge traces. He
had lived among them two-thlrds of his
life. He could tell their age, their
value, and a part of their history at a
glance. In the snow he could tell the
trail of a Mackenzie hound from that
of a Malemute, and the track of an
Eskimo dog from that of a Yukon
husky. He looked at Kazan's feet
They were wolf feet, and he chuckled.
Kazan was part wild. He was big and
Powerful, and Sandy thought of the
coming winter, and of the high prices
that dogs would bring at Red Gold
City. He went to the canoe and re­
turned with a roll of stout moose-hide
babiche. Then he sat down cross-leg­
ged in front of Kazan and began mak-
ing a muzzle. He did this by plaiting
babiche thongs in the same manner
that one does in making a web of a
Row-shoe. In ten minutes he had the
muzzle over Kazan's nose and fastened
securely about his neck. To the dog's
collar he then fastened a ten-foot rope
of babiche. After that he sat back
and waited for Kazan to come to life.
I When Kazan first lifted his head be
could not see. There was a red film
before his eyes. But this passed away
swiftly and he aaw the man. His first
instinct was to rise to his feet Three
times he fell back before be could
stand up. Sandy was squatted six feet
from him, holding tho end of the ba-
biche, and grinning, Kazan's fangs
beamed back. He growled, and the
crest along bis spine rose menacingly.
Bandy jumped to his feet
“Guess I know what you’re figger! ng
on,” he said. “I’ve bad your kind be-
fore.
The d— wolves have turned
you bad, an’ you’ll need a whole lot of
club before you're right again. Now,
look here.”
Sandy had taken the precaution of
bringing a thick club along with the
babiche. He picked It up from where
he had dropped it in the sand. Kasaat

Trigger. Every boue in his body gave
him pain. His jaws were sore and
bleeding. His upper lip was smashed
where the club had fallen. One eye
was almost closed. Several times
Sandy came near, much pleased at
what he regarded as the good results
of the beating. Each time he brought
the club. The third time he prodded
Kazan with it, and the dog snarled and
snapped savagely at the end of It.
That was what Sandy wanted—It was
an old trick of the dog-slaver. Instant­
ly he was using the club again, until
with a whining cry Kazan slunk under
the protection of the snag to which he
was fastened. He could scarcely drag
himself. His right forepaw was
smashed. His hind-quarters sank un­
der him. For a time after this second
beating he could not have escaped ha
and the man stood in the red glow of
it now, facing the dark shadows be-
yond the shoreline. He, too, was lis­
tening. What had roused Kazan came
again now—the lost mourning cry of
Gray Wolf far out on the plain.
With a whine Kazan was on his feet,
tugging at the babiche. Sandy snatched
up his club, and leuped toward him.
“Down, you brute !" he commanded.
In the firelight the club rose and fell
with ferocious quickness. When Mc-
Trigger returned to the fire he was
breathing hard again. He tossed his
club beside the blankets he had spread
out for a bed. It was a different look­
ing club now. It was covered with
blood and hair.
Several times that night Kazan heard
Gray Wolf’s call. He whined softly in
response, fearing the club. He watched
the fire until the last embers of It died
out, and then cautiously dragged him­
self from under the snag. Two or
three times he tried to stand on his
feet, but fell back each time. His legs
were not broken, but the pain of stand­
ing on them was excruciating. He was
hot and feverish. All that night he had
craved a drink of water. When Sandy
crawled out from between his blankets
In the early down he gave him both
meat and water. Kazan drank the wa­
ter, but would not touch the meat.
Sandy regarded the change in him with
satisfaction. By the time the sun was
up he had finished his breakfast and
was ready to leave. He approached
Kazan fearlessly now, without the club.
Untying the babiche he dragged the
dog to the canoe. Kazan slunk In the
sand while his captor fastened the end
of the hide rope to the stern of the
canoe.
He pushed off, bow foremost. Brac­
ing himself with his paddle he then be­
gan to pull Kazan toward the water. In
a few moments Kazan stood with his
forefeet planted in the damp sand at
the edge of tho stream. For a brief in­
terval Sandy allowed the babiche to
fall slack. Then with a sadden power­
ful pull he jerked Kazan out into the
water. Instantly he sent the canoe into
midstream, swung it quickly down with
the current, and began to paddle
enough to keep the babiche taut about
his victim’s neck. In spite of his sick­
ness and injuries Kazan was now com­
pelled to swim to keep his head above
water. In the wash of the canoe, and
with Sandy's strokes growing steadily
stronger, his position became each mo­
ment one of increasing torture. At
times his shaggy head was pulled com­
pletely under water. At others Sandy
would wait until he had drifted along­
side, and then thrust him under with
the end of his paddle. He grew weaker.
At the end of a half mile he was
drowning. Not atll then did Sandy
pull him alongside and drag him into
the canoe. The dog fell limp and gasp­
ing in the bottom. Brutal though
Sandy's methods had been, they had
worked his purpose. In Kazan there
was no longer a desire to fight. He no
longer struggled for freedom. He knew
that this man was his master, and for
the time his spirit was gone. All he
desired now was to be allowed to lie In
the bottom of th 9 canoe, out of reach
of the club, and safe from the water.
The club lay between him and the
man. The end of It was within a foot
or two of his nose, and what he
smelled was his own blood.
For five days and five nights the
journey down-stream continued, and
McTrigger’s process of civilizing Kazan
was continued in three more beatings
with the club, and another resort to the
water torture. On the morning of the
sixth day they reached Red Gold City,
and McTrigger put up his tent close to
the river. Somewhere he obtained a
chain for Kazan, and after fastening
the dog securely back of the tent he
cut off the bibache muzzle.
“You can’t put no meat in a muzzle,"
he told his prisoner. “An’ I want you
to git strong—an' fierce as hell. I’ve
got an idee. It’s an Idee you can lick
your weight in wildcats. We'll pull off
a stunt pretty soon that'll fill our
pockets with dust. I've done It afore,
and we can do It here. Wolf an' dog—
s'elp me Satan but It’ll be a drawin’
card !”
Twice a day after this he brought
fresh raw meat to Kazan. Quickly Ka­
zan’s spirit and courage returned to
him. The soreness left his limbs. His
battered jaws healed. And after the
fourth day each time that Sandy came
with meat he greeted him with the
challenge of his snarling fangs. Me-
Trigger did not beat him now. He
gave him no fish, no tallow and meal—
nothing but raw meat. He traveled
five miles up the river to bring in the
fresh entrali of a caribou that had been
killed. One day Sandy brought an­
other man with him and when the
stranger came a step too near Kazan
made a sudden swift lunge at him. The
man jumped back with a startled oath.
“He’ll do,” he growled. “He’s light­
er by ten or fifteen pounds than the
Dane, but he’s got the teeth, an’ th
quickness, an’ he'll give a good show
before he goes under."
“I'll make you a bet of twenty-five

Sandy was in unusually good humor.
“Til take the devil out of you all

time. “There’s nothin’ Uke beatin s t°

Washington, D. C.—Six months of
effort to meet the most far-reaching
appeals for relief in history Is de­

people made public Tuesday night by
Henry P. Davison, chairman of the
war council of the American Red
Cross. It is the council’s first semi­
annual report, and it tells how more
than 140,000,000 of the 1100,000,000
war fund contributed by the people
has been allotted for expenditure at
home and abroad.
Demands from Europe continue to
increase, and on the recent basis Of
expenses the council estimates that
the war fund will not laat much bey­
ond spring. So far about 188,000,000
in cash haa been paid Into the fund
by the subscribers.
Of $40,272,657 appropriated by the
council, 17,659,000 has been advanced
to chapters for the purchase of ma­
terial and will be refunded. For work

have been made: Belgium, $720,001;
England, >1,066,520; Italy, >214,000;
Russia. >1,359,440; Roumania, $1,518,-
398; Serbia, $493,203; Armenians and

isions, and describes the membership
campaign which brought the number
of Red Cross members beyond the
5,000,000 mark.
The total expenses of raising and
collecting the war fund are proving
to be less than 1 per cent. The war
fund is deposited locally by the chap­
ters and campaign committees. About
3500 banks now hold these deposits In
the name of William G. McAdoo, treas­
urer.
Forty-nine army base hospital units
and five for the navy have been re­
cruited, organized and equipped by

ing service. These units can care for
a 500-bed hospital each, and some of
them have been reinforced to enable
them to take over larger hospitals.

First
Resolution
Introduced Is Joint
Measure to Include Turkish and
Bulgarian Governments.
Washington, D. C.— Immediate dec­
laration of war against Austria-Hun­
gary was recommended to congress
Tvesday by President Wilson. The
President did not, however, recommend
declaration of war against Turkey and
Bulgaria at this time.
Immediate war against Auatria, the
President told congress, was necessary
to meet the anomalous situation the
United States faces in ita war with
Germany, even though Austria was not
her own mistress and only a vassal of
Germany.
The same logic, he said, would lead
to war against Turkey and Bulgaria,
but they do not yet, he said, stand in
its path of the United States in its
war against Prussian autocracy.
In ringing, definite terms, the Pres­
ident declared that nothing shall turn
the United States aside until the war
is won and Germany is beaten.
All
talk of peace, he pronounced out of the
question.
Peace, the President declared, could
come only when the German people
make it through rulers the world can
trust; when they make reparation for
the destruction their present rulers
have wrought and when Germany re-
cedes from all the territory acquired
by armed conquest.
A joint resolution declaring that a
state of war exists between the United
States and Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey, was introduced in the
senate by Senator Pittman, for Sena­
tor King, of Utah. It was referred to
the foreign relations committee with­
out action.
GERMANY READY FOR PEACE
Count Von Hertling Telia Reichstag ef
Ilia Hopes With Russia.
Berlin, via London—Count George
F. von Hertling, the impeiral German
chancellor, told the reichstag Thursday
that he was ready to enter into peace
negotiations as soon as the Russian
government sends representatives hav­
ing full powers to Berlin.
"I hope and wish," he said, that
these efforts will soon take definite
shape and bring us peace. ’’
Respecting Poland, Lithuana and
Courland, Count von Hertling said:
“We respect the right of self-deter­
mination of their peoples.
We expect
they will give themselves a conati tu-
tional form of government correspond-
ing to their conditiona. ”
LOAN WORKERS WILL MEET
Secretary McAdoo Calls Conference at
Washington.
Washington, D. C.—To perfect lib­
erty loan organizations throughout the
country for the period of the war, Sec­
retary McAdoo Friday called a confer­
ence of representatives of liberty loan
committees in each of the 12 Federal
reserve districts snd of the women's
liberty loan organization to be held in
Washington December 10.
“While the secrtary has announced
that there will be no further liberty
loan issue, at least until after Febru­
ary 1,“ said a Treasury department
announcement, “he believes it essen-
tisi that educational work in prepara­
tion for future loans be conducted con­
tinuously so that the people may be­
come fully acquainted with the worth
of government securities, the advant­
age of thrift and economy and the
financial needs of the government ta
wage war against Germany.”
Governors of the federal reserve
banks havs been asked to attend the
conference and also to designate and
send at least three of the principal lib­
erty loan executives of their districts.
Diseases Raging at Camp.
Washington, D. C.—Surgeon Gen­
eral William C. Gorgas, reporting on
the epidemic of measles and pneumonia
at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga., de­
dared that the number of cases of

the fear "that we may be beginning
