Kainn's hatred of men burst forth in a
snarl as ho leaped. Thoro was a queer
humming over their heads. Tho sound
from behind camo ngnln, and this tlmo
Gray Wolf gave a yelp of pain and rolled
over and over In tho snow. She was on her
feet nealn In nn Instant, and Kazan
dropped behind her. and ran there until
Sw reached the ahelter of tho limber.
Oray Wolf lay down, nnd begnn licking
: th wound In her shoulder. Kazan faced
(h. rldKe. Tho man was taking up their
frail Ho stopped where Or.iy Wolf had
fallen, and examined tho snow. Then
hKazanurged Gray "Wolf to her feet, nnd
they made for tho thick swamp closo to
the lake. All that day they kept In the,
face of the wind, nnd when Gray olf
lav down Kazan stolo bade over their
trail, watching and sniffing tho air.
For days nfter that Gray Wolf ran
lame, and when once they camo upon
tho remains of an old camp, Kazan
teeth wcro bared In snarling hatred of
the man-scent that had been left behind.
Growing In him thero was a desire for
vengeances vengeance for his own hurts
and for Gray Wolf's. Ho tried to nose out
tho man-trail under tho cover of fresh
now, nnd Gray Wolf circled nround him
anxiously and tried to luro him deeper
into tho forest. At last ho followed her
sullenly. Thero was a oavngo redness In
his eyes.
Three days later tho new moon came.
And on tho fifth night Knzan Btruclt a
trail. It was fresh bo fresh that he
stopped as suddenly ns though struck by
a bullet when ho ran upon it, nnd stood
with every musclo In his body quivering
and his hair on end. It was a mnn-trnll.
Thero wcro tho mnrks of tho sledge, the
dogs' feet nnd tho snow-shoo prints ot
his enemy.
Then ho throw up his head to tho stars
and from his throat thero rolled out over
tho wide nlalns tho hunt-cry tho wild nnd
savago call for tho pack. Never hnd he
put tho savagery In it that was thero to
night. Again and ngaln ho sent forth
that call, and then thero camo an answer
nnd another nnd still another, until Grny
Wolf herself sat back on her haunches
and added her volco to Kazan's, nnd far
out on tho plain a whlto and hngga'd
faced man halted his exhausted docs to
listen, whllo a volco said faintly from tho
sledgo:
"Tho wolves, father. Are they coming
after us?"
Tho man was client. Ho was not young.
Tho moon shono In his long, white beard
and added grotesquely to tho height of his
tall, gaunt figure. A girl had raised her
head from a bearskin pillow on tho sleigh.
Her dark eyes were filled beautifully with
the starlight. Sho was pale. Her hair
fell in a thick, shining brnid over her
shoulder, nnd alio was hugging something
tightly to her breast.
"They're on tho trail of something
probably a iecr," said tho man, looking
at tho breech of hl3 rifle. "Don't worry,

FARMER SMITH'S
', GOOD-NIGHT TALK
Dear Children Hero we are back to work again in earnest. Everybody
lays this was the happiest Christmas and New Year's in many years. And
why? Everybody thought so. That was all.
Wo are all influenced by those around us. Willie Jones says that Tommy
brown's nose is crooked and Tommy is so INFLUENCED BY IT that he goe3
and looks at his nose in the looking-glass and it is tho first time ho has ever
had a good look at that queer Httlo turned-up nose of his. Perhaps ho
discovers that it IS a wee bit crooked. And what then? He never forgets it.
All through life Tommy carries that THOUGHT around in his head that he
has a crooked nose.
We are influenced by our SURROUNDINGS, by the air wo breathe and
the kind of room we are in. Suppose you were sitting all day in n room
which had red wall paper. Wouldn't you get tired of it?
We must learn to bo INFLUENCED FOR GOOD and not influenced for
evil and WE must bo the sole judge of what is BEST for us to do.
And so we see that everybody said that Christmas, 1915, would be a
happy time. AND IT WAS. simply because everybody THOUGHT SO. In
; 1914 good people said to one another: "Isn't it terrible simply terrible!
,War in Europe" and so forth. This year, dear children, the war is going on
Just the same, BUT everybody decided that it was going to be a HAPPY
Christmas. And IT WAS. FARMER SMITH,
Children's Editor, Eveninq LEDCEit.

kooah and ho snapped his whip over
the backs of his learn.
From the bundlo nt tho girl's breast
thero camo a small walling cry. And far
back In tho plain there answered It tho
scattered volco of the pack.
At last Kazan was on the trail of ven
geance. Ho ran slowly at first, 'with
Gray Wolf close beside him, pausing
every three or four hundred yards to send
forth the cry. A gray leaping form Joined
them from behind. Another followed.
Two came In from the side and Kazan's
solitary howl gave place to tho wild
tonguo of tho pack. Numbers grew, and
with Increasing number tho pace becamo
swifter. Four six seven ten fourteen,
by tho tlmo tho moro open and wind
swept part of the plain was reached.
It was n strong pack, filled with old
nnd fearless hunters. Gray Wolf was the
youngest, and she kept closo to Kazan's
shoulders. 8ho could seo nothing of his
red-shot eyes and dripping Jaws, and
would not havo Understood If sho had
seen. Dut she could feel and she was
thrilled by the spirit of that strango nnd
mysterious savagery that hod mado Ka
zan forget all things but hurt and death.
Knzan hoard tho hlssinrf song o
tho dcath-bco over his head.
Tho pack mado no sound. Thero was
only tho panting of breath and tho soft
fall of many feet. They ran swiftly and
close. And always Kazan was a leap
ahead, with Gray Wolf nosing his shoul
der. Never had ho wanted to kill ns ho felt
tho deslro In him to kill now. For tno
first tlmo ho hnd no fenr of man, no fear
of tho club, of tho whip or of tho thing
that blazed forth tiro and death. Ho ran
moro swiftly, In ordnr to ovurtnkc them
and glvo thorn battle sooner. All of tho
pent-up madness of four ycar3 of Blavery
nnd nbuso at tho hnnds of men broke
looso In thin red Btrenms of ilro in his
veins, nnd when at Inst ho snw n moving
blotch far out on the plain nhcad of him,
tho cry that camo out of his throat was
ono thnt Gray Wolf did not understand.
Throo hundred ynrda beyond that mov
ing blotch was tho thin lino of timber,
nnd Kazan and his followers boro down
swiftly. Half-way to tho timber they
wero almost upon It, nnd suddenly It
stopped and became a black nnd motion
less Bhadow on tho snow. From out of It
there leaped that lightning tonguo of
llamo that Kazan had always dreaded,
and ho heard tho hissing Bong of tho
denth-beo over his bend. He did not mind
It now. Ho yelped shorply, and the
wolves raced In until four of them wcro
ncck-and-neck with him.
A second flash and tho death-bee drove
from breast to tall of a hugo gray fighter
closo to Gray Wolf. A third a fourth
a fifth spurt of that flro from tho black
shadow, and Knzan himself felt a sudden
swift passing of a red-hot thing along
his shoulder, whero tho man's Inst bullet
shaved off tho hair nnd stung his Mesh.
Threo of tho pack hnd gone down under
tho flro of tho rllle, nnd half of the others
were swinging to tho right and the loft.
But Kazan drovo straight ahead. Faith
fully Gray Wolf followed him.
Tho sledgo dog3 had been freed from
their traces, and beforo ho could reach
the man, whom ho saw with his rlflo
held llko a club In his hands, Knzan -was
met by tho fighting mass of them. Ho
anxious to save, has been lost. If any
of my little friends happened to save
the paper and would send it to me, I
would be very grateful." Who can
help this little girl? We will furnish
her address.
Arthur Weiss, Penbryn, N. J., an
nounces that he will found a branch
of the club in his own particular cor
ner. He promises to write some
stories and poems. We are very anx
ious to see them, Arthur, so put on

fought llko a fiend, ,nnd there was the
strength nnd tho fierceness of two mates
In tho mnd gnashing of Gray Wolf's
fangs. Two of tho wolves rushed In, nnd
Kazan heard tho terrific back-breaking
thud of tho rifle. To him It waa the club.
Ho wanted to reach It. He wanted to
reach tho man who held It, nnd ho freed
himself from the fighting mass of tho
dogs and sprang to the sledge. For tho
flrst tlmn he saw that there was some
thing human on tho sledge, and In an In
stant he wns upon It. Ho burled his Jaws
deep. They sank In something soft and
hnlry, and he opened them for nnethcr
lunge. And then he heard tho volcel It
was her volcel Every musolo In his body
stood still. He became, suddenly like flesh
turned to lifeless stone.
Her volcel Tho bear rug woa thrown
back and what had been hidden Under It
ho saw clearly now In tho light of tho
moon and tho Btars. In him Instinct
worked moro swiftly than human brain
could havo given birth to reason. It waa
not she. Hut tho voice was tho same,
nnd the whlto girlish faco so closo to hla
own blood-reddened eyes held In It thnt
same mystery that ho had learned to
lovo. And ho saw now that which sho
was clutching to her breast, nnd thero
camo from It n strange, thrilling cry
and ho know that horo on tho sledgo ho
had found not enmity nnd death, but that
from which he had been driven away in
tho other world beyond tho ridge.
In a flash ho turned. He snapped nt
Gray Wolfs flank, nnd sho dropped away
with n startled yelp.
It had all happened In a moment, but
the man was almost down. Kazan leaped
under his clubbed rlflo nnd drove Into
tho faco of what wns left of tho pack.
Ills fangs cut like knives. If he had
fought llko n demon against tho dogs,
ho fought like ten demons now, nnd tho
man bleeding nnd ready to fall stng
gcrcd back to tho sledge, marveling nt
whnt was happening. For In Grny Wolf
thero wns now tho Instinct of mnlehood,
nnd seeing Knzan tearing nnd fighting
tho pack sho Joined him In tho Btruggto
which sho could not understand.
When It wns over, Kazan and Gray
Wolf wcro alono out on tho plain. Tho
pnek had Blunk nwny Into tho night, and
tho Bamo moon nnd stnrs that had given
to Knzan tho first knowledge of his birth
right told him now that no longer would
thoso wild brothers of Uio plains respond
to his call when he howled Into tho sky.
Ho was hurt. And Grny Wolf wns hurt,
but no bo badly as Kazan. Ho was torn
nnd bleeding. Ono of his legs wns ter
ribly bitten. After a tlmo ho saw a Ilro
In tho edgo of tho forest. The old call
was strong upon him. Ho wnnted to
crawl in to It, and feel the girl's hand
on hla head, as ho had felt that other
hand in tho world beyond the ridge. Ho
would have gone and would havo urged
Gray Wolf to gp with him but tho man
was there. Ho whined, and Gray Wolf
thrust her warm muzzla ngnlnst his neck.
Kazan could not go, far. He could still
smell tho camp when ho lay down. Gray
Wolf snuggled clpso to him. Gently sho
Boothcd with her soft tonguo Knzun'a
bleeding wounds. And Kazan, lifting his
head, whined softly to tho stars.
CHAPTER VI.
JOAN.
ON Tlin edgo of tho cedar nnd spruco
forest old Pierre Itadlsson built tho
fire. He was bleeding from a dozen
wounds, whero tho fangs of tho wolves
hnd reached to his flesh, and ho felt In his
breast that old and terrlblo pain, of which
no ono know the meaning but himself. Ho
dragged In log nrtcr log piled them on
tho Ilro until the flames leaped up to tho
crisping needles of tho limbs above, and
heaped a supply closo nt hand for uso
later In tho night.
From the Blodgo Joi wntched him, still
wild-eyed nnd fenrful, still trembling. Sho
was holding her baby closo to her breast.
Zler long, heavy hair smothered her
shoulders and arms In a dark lustrous
veil that glistened nnd rippled In tho
firelight when alio moved. Her young fnco
was scarcely a woman's tonight, though
sho was a mother. Sho looked llko a chllJ.
Old PIcrro laughed as ho threw down
tho last armful of fuel, and stood breath
ing hard.
"It was close, ma cheri," ho panted
through his whlto beard. "Wo were nearer
to death out thero on the plain than we
will ever be ngaln, I hope. Hut wo aro
comfortable now, nnd warm. Eh? You
aro no longer afraid?"
Ho sat down beside his daughter, and
RAINBOW CLUB
Mr. Rooster's Surprise
All Mr. Rooster's lifo he had kept
his eyes on the ground looking for
worms, blades of grass and little
grains.
One day he suddenly thought ho
would look up in the sky, and to his
great surprise he discovered a rooster
sitting on the top of what Mr. Rooster
thought was a stick high up in the
air.
"Ahem! Ahem!" he went, thinking
to attract the attention of tho fellow
up on the barn. Just then the weather
cock turned round with his tall toward
Mr. Rooster, who could not under
stand the behavior of tho strange fel
low up in the air.
"What do you mean by turning
your back on me when I am talking
to you?" asked Mr. Rooster, The
wind shifted again and the weather
cock turned his head once moro to
ward the fellow who was talking to
him.
"I didn't turn my bnck on you and
what if I did?" asked the weather
cock. "It would be very Impolite to turn
your back on me," replied Mr. Rooster,
meekly. "What are you doing up
there, anyway?"
"I wish you would attend to your
own scratching and let me attend to
my business," said the weather-cock.
"What IS your business?" asked
Mr. Rooster,
"My business is to tell how the wind
Is blowing in what direction, I
mean."
"Oh!" exclaimed Mr. Rooster. "Then
why are you always changing?"
"I don't change," said the weather
cock, softly. "The wind changes."

ently pulled twte Oie, soft fur that en
veloped the bundle sha held In her Arms.
Ho could seo ono pink cheek of baby Joan.
Tho eyes of Joan, the mother, were llko
stars.
"It wm tho baby who saved u," she
whispered. "Tho dogs were being torn to
pieces by the wolves, and I saw them
leaping upon you, when ono of them
sprang to tho sledge. At first I thought
It waa one of tho dogs. But It was a
wolf. Ho toro onco at us, nnd tho bear
skin caved us. Ho was. nlmost nt my
throat when baby cried, and then ho stood
there, his red eyes a foot from us, nnd I
could have sworn again that ho was a
dog. In an Instant ho turned, nnd was
lighting tho wolves. I saw him leap upon
one that wns nlmost nt your throat."
"Ho Was a dog," said old Pierre, hold
ing out his hands to tho warmth. "They
often wander away from tho posts and
Join tho wolves. I havo had dogs do that.
Ma chcrl, a dog Is a dog all his life.
Kicks, abuse, even the wolves cannot
change him for long. Ho waa ono of
tho pack. Ho camo with them to kill.
Hut when ho found us"
"Ho fought for us," breathed tho girl.
Sho gave him tho bundlo nnd stood up
straight and tall and slim In the firelight.
"Ho fought for us and he was terribly
hurt," sho said. "I saw him drag him
self away. Father, If he is out there
dying-"
Plerro Hndlsson stood up. Ho coughed
In a shuddering way, trying to stifle tho
sound under his beard. Tho fleck of crim
son that enmo to his lips with tho cough
Joan did not see. Sho had seen nothing
of It during the six days they had been
traveling up from tho edgo of ctvlllzatlon.
"t have been thinking of that," ho snld.
"Ho was badly hurt and I do not think
he went fnr. Hero, tnko Httlo Joan nnd
sit closo to tho flro until I como back."
Tho moon nnd tho stars wcro brilliant
In tho sky when ho went out In tho plain.
A short dlstnnco from the edgo of the
thnber-llne ho stood for a moment upon
tho spot whero tho wolves hnd ocrtnken
them nn hour beforo. Not ono of his
four dogs had lled. Tho biiow was red
with their Hood, nnd their bodies lay stiff
whero they had fallen under tho pack.
IMcrro shuddered as he looked nt them.
If the wolves had not turned their first
mnd nttnrk upon tho dogs what would
havo become of himself, Joan and tho
baby? lie turned nwny, with another of
thoso hollow coughs that brought tho
blood to his lips.
A few yards to ono side he found In the
Bnow the trail of the strange dog thnt had
como with tho wolves nnd had turned
ngnlnst them In that moment when all
seemed lot. It wns not a clean running
trail. It wns moro of a furrow In tho
snow, and PIcrro Itadlsson followed It,
expecting to And the dog dead at tho
end of It.
In tho sheltered spot to which he hod
dragged himself In tho edge of tho forest
Kazan lay for a long tlmo nfter tho fight,
alert and watchful. Ho felt no very great
pain. Hut ho had lost tho power to stand
upon his legs. Ills flanks seemed para
lyzed. Gray Wolf crouched cloio at his
Bide, snllllng tho nlr. They could smell
tho camp, and Kazan could detect tho
two things that wero thero man nnd
woman. Ho knew that tho girl was
there, whero ho could seo tho glow of tho
firelight through tho spruce nnd the
cedars. Ho wanted to go to her. Ho
wnnted to drag himself closo In to the
flro and tnko Gray Wolf with him, nnd
listen to her voice, nnd feel tho touch of
her hand. Hut tho man wns thero, nnd
to htm man had nlwnys meant Uio club,
tho whip, pain, death.
Oray Wolf crouched closo to his side,
and whined softly ns she urged Knzan to
flco deeper with her into tho forest. At
Inst sho understood that ho could not
move, and sho ran norvously out Into tho
plain nnd bnck ngaln, until her foot
prints wcro thick In tho trail sho made.
The Instincts of matehood wcro Btrong In
her. It was sho who first saw Pierre
Itadlsson coming over their trail, nnd she
ran swiftly back to Kazan nnd gavo tho
warning.

TRAINED SOCIAL SERVICE
Tho most eluborato exhibit ever held
In thla city to demonstrate the Indlspen
aablo service rendered to the community
nt lnrRe by tho modern charity organiza

by orsanlzed charity In brhiRlnB together
tho charltnbly Inclined persona and those
who nro In real need of help, will bo

Society for Orgnnlzlnc Charity will open

With tho jrrowth of the modern social
and Industrial system, the old-fashioned
kindly nelghborllness has ntmoat entirely
disappeared nnd It Is a function of tho
Bocloty for Organizing Charity to supply
In a lareo measure tho lack of this In
Philadelphia.
Tho exhibit Is Intended chlerty to bring
before citizens of tho city tho extent to
which poverty nnd failure through sick
ness, nccldents, diseases and unemploy
ment union thousands of their follow
citizens, and to Illustrate tho valuo of
trained, efficient service which Is bclnc
rendered with tho help of trained volun
teer social workers.
"Tho charity oxhlbtt," said Stevens
Hcckscher, president of the society, "will
bring vividly beforo tho publlo the tragedy
In tho lives of thousands of our neighbors

not merely this cry of human need, hut
what Is being dono to help; tho vnluo of
trained and aympathotlc social service,
nlong with tho work of volunteer citizens,
who freely glvo of their tlmo nny money
to becomo their brother's keeper. It will
show, wo hope, that the nearest solution
of tho problem of poverty Is first to help
tho poor In a humano nnd kindly way,
nnd then to help them out of their pov
erty, not In It to mako them eclf-aup-portlng
nnd Bclf-rcspcctlng.
"Tho Increasingly largo number of peo

complexities of Its problems, nnd tho com

nro matters of vital consequences to the
whole city. Their better understanding
through tho exhibit should result In re
