100,000 hungry creatures came out from

.tstun, as mysterious as a snuuuw, ....
then out of tho air. there floated down as
silently as a huge snowflake a sreat whlto
owl. Knian saw tho hungry winged crea
ture settle on the bull's shoulder. Llko a
i&tlash ho was out from his cover, uray
Wolf a yard behind him. wun an unsry
snarl he lunged at the white robber and
his Jaws snapped on ompty air. His leap
carried him clean over the bull. Ho
turned, but tho owl was gone.
Ksarly all of his old strength had re
turned to him now.
Il trotted about the bull, tho hair along
'his spine bristling llko a brush, his eyes
wiaa and menacing. ie snarioo u. mu

hack on his haunches and faced the
blood-stained trail that tho mooso had
left bsforn ha died. Again that Instinct
is Infallible as reason told him that dan

Like a red ribbon the trail ran back
throurh the wilderness. The little swlft-

ooarea aDoui in idq muumibiib. jj.cjt

R the ferocity of their blood-eating nature
followed it with quicK. exciting leaps, a
fox caught the scent of it a quarter of

plFrom. out of a deep windfall a beady-
kyed, thln-bellled flshercat carae forth
El and stopped with his feet In the crimson
rtDDon,
; It was the flshercat that brought Ka
san out from under his cover of spruco
I Slain. In the moonlight there was a
(sharp, quick fight, a snarling and scratch
Tn, a catlike yowl of pain and the fisher
lorgoc nis Hunger In night. Kazan re
turned to Gray Wolf-wlth a lacerated and
tleedlnc nose. Qrav Wolf licked It sym

creatures of their kind, tho wild-wolf

savago socialism of the wilderness, tho
Brotherhood of tho Wolf. And Gray
wolf, setting back on her haunches, sent
forth the rcsponso to that cry-a walling
triumphant nolo that told her hungry
brethren there was feasting at tho end
of tho trail.
And tho lynx, between those two cries,
sneaked off into tho wldo and moonlit
spaces of tho forest.
CHAPTnn XV.
A TIGHT UNDmt THD STAHS.
ON THnilt haunches Kazan and Gr y
Wolf waited Five mlnutoa passed, ten
fifteen and Gray Wolf became uneasy.
No rcsponso had followed her call. Again
sho howled, with Kazan quivering and
listening bcsldo her. nnd again thero fol
lowed that dead stillness of tho night
This was not the way of tho pack. Sho
know that It had not rono hejond tho
reach of hor volco nnd its sltonco puz7led
her. And then In a flash It camo to them
both that tho pack, or tho slnglo wolf
whoso cry they had heard, was very near
them. Tho scent was warm. A fow mo
ments Inter Kazan Baw a moving object
In tho moonlight. It was followed by an
other, nnd still another, until thero were
five slouching In a hnlf-clrclo about them,
70 yards awny. Then they laid theml
selves flat In tho snow and wero motion
less. A snnrl turned Knzan'n eyoa to Gray
Wolf. His blind mnto had drawn back.
Her whlto fangs gleamed mcnnclngly In
tho starlight. Her cars wero flat. Kazan
was puzzled. Why wan sho signaling dan
ger to him when It wns tho wolr. nnd
not tho lynx out thero In tho snow? And
why did tho wolves not como In and
fonst? Slowly ha moved toward them, nnd
Gray Wolf called to him with her whine.
Ho paid no attention to her, but wont on,
stepping lightly, his head high In the nlr,
his spine bristling.
In tho scent of tho strangers, Kazan
was catching something now that was
strangely familiar. It drew him toward
them moro swiftly nnd hon at last ho
stopped 20 yards from whero tho llttlo
group lay flattened In tho snow, his thick
brush waved Ulghtly. Ono of tho nnlmnls
sprang up and approached Tho others
followed nnd In another moment Kazan
was In tho midst of them, smelling and
smcllcd, nnd wagging his tall. They wcro
dogs, nnd not wolves.
In some lonely cabin In tho wilderness
their master had died, and they had taken
to tho forests. They still bore signs of
the slcdgo traces. About their necks were
moosehldo collars.
Tho hair was worn short at their
flanks, and ono still dragged after him
threo feet of corded bablcho trace. Their
oyos gleamed red and hungry In tho glow
FARMER SMITH'S
GOOD-NIGHT TALK .
I know, my dear children, some of you have been wondering WHY I took
tho namo "RAINBOW." Suppose you try to think what is tho most beautiful
thing in naturo? I nm sure you will say that it is tho rainbow, and that la
why tho namo was taken. There nro other things about our button which
are very beautiful, for on It wo find tho pot of gold and tho threo words,
"Faith, Hope, Love," but wo could show only ono word and that was FAITH.
Wo must havo faith, first of all, in ourselves, for that Is the secret of
all success and thep wo must havo faith In thoso who aro near and dear"
to us. Tho thought of saying unkind things about thoso around us is simply
lack of faith on our part.
Wo should have faith in our mother, for sho watches over us nnd never
forgets us. Wo must have faith in our father, for ho is the PROVIDER and
we must KNOW that he Is working hnrd for us and wo must havo faith In
him and his work. Wo must have faith in our relatives, for they aro related
to us and if wo SPEAK LIGHTLY OF THEM, wo reflect upon our own selves,
for we aro all tho same family. Wo must havo faith In others to mako them
havo faith in us.
BOOST your mother. Boost your father, because ho gives you what
you NEED, even though It be n spanking. Boost your relatives nnd friends
and last but not least, BOOST YOURSELF when you feo to bed and no one
is around to hear you.
Oh, yesl Don't forget to boost FARMER SMITH'S RAINBOW CLUB,
for I am going to BOOST YOU watch and see.

denly turned and trotted ahead of them
to tho side of th dead bull. Then ho
fell bnck and sat proudly on his haunches
besldo Oray Wolf, listening to tho snap
ping of Jaws and the rending of flesh as
tho starved pack feasted.
Gray Wolf Blunk closer to Kazan. She
mizzled his neck and Kazan gave her a
swift dogllko caress of his tongue, assur
ing her that alt was well. Sho flattened
herself tn tho snow when the dogs had
finished and camo up In their dog way to
sniff at her, and make closer acquaint
anco with Karon. Kazan towered over
hor, guarding her. One hugo red-eyed
dot who still dragged the bit of bablche
trace muzzled Gray Wolf's soft neck for
a fraction of n second too long, and Ka
zan uttered a, savago snarl of warning.
Tho dog drew back, and for a moment
their fangs gleamed over Gray Wolf's
blind face. It was tho Challenge of the
Breed.
Tho big husky was tho leader of the
pack, and If ono of the other dogs hnd
Bnarled at him as Kazan snarled he
would havo leaped nt his throat. But In
Kazan, standing fierce nnd half wild over
Gray Wolf, ho recognized none of the
serfdom of tho sledge-dogs. It wns mas
ter facing master; In Kazan It was more
than that for ho was 'Gray Wolfs mate.
In nn instant moro he would havo leaped
over her body to havo fought for her,
moro than for tho right of leadership.
But tho big husky turned away sullenly,
growling, still snarling, and vented his
rngo by nipping fiercely at tho flank of
ono of his stedgo-matcs.
Oray Wolf understood what had hap
pened, though sho could not see. Sho
shrank closer to Kazan. Sho knew that
tho moon and tho stars had looked down
on that thing that always meant death
tho challongo to tho right of mate. With
her luring coyness, whining and softly
muzzling his shoulder nnd neck, sho tried
to draw Kazan nway from tho pad-beaten
circle In which tho bull lay. Kazan's
answer was nn ominous rolling of smoth
ered thunder deop down In his throat.
Ha lay down besldo her, licked her
blind face swiftly, and faced tho stranger
dogs.
Tho moon sank lower and lower and at
last dropped behind tho western forests.
Tho stars grow paler. Ono by ono they
faded from tho sky nnd after a time
thero followed tho cold gray dawn of the
North. In that dawn the big husky
leader rose from tho holo he li!u2 made
In tho snow and returned to tho bull.
Kazan, alert, was on his fc,ot In an Instant
and stood nlso closo to the bull. Tho two
circled ominously, their heads lowered,
their crests bristling. Tho husky drew
away, and Kazan crouched at tho bull's
neck and began tearing at tho frozen
flesh. Ho wns not hungry. But In this
way ho showed his right to tho flesh his
dcflanco of tho right of tho big husky.
For a few seconds ho forgot Gray Wolf.
The husky had slipped back llko a shadow
and now ho stood again over Gray Wolf,
sniffing her neck and body. Then ho
whined. In that v. nine, wcro the passion,
tho invitations, tho demand of the Wild.
So quickly that tho eye could scarcely
follow her movements faithful Gray Wolf
sank her gleaming fangs in the husky's
shoulder.
A gray streak nothing more tangible
than n streak of gray, silent and terrible,
shot through tho dawn-gloom It was
Kazan. Ho camo without a snarl, with
out n cry, and In a moment ho and tho
two who have answered in the most
that she likes very much to read tho
stories in the Evenino Ledger. Caro
lyn Schaefer, Walnut street, has an
opinion to offer about the little girl
and the pennies, She says, "I think
her mother was wrong because sho
encouraged the child to ba careless."
We think so, too, Carolyn.

battle, , .
The. fer other hurtle raft tn ejwtefcly
and atood waiting a dozen pace from th
combatants. Gray We4f lar otenjohed en
her belly. The giant husky and the
quarter strain wolfdog wero not fighting
llko aledge dog or wolf. For a few mo
ments rage and hatred made, them fight
like mongrels. Both had holds. Now
ono was down, and noT tha other, and
so swiftly did they chanro their posi
tions that tho four waiting- sledgo dors
wero puszled and stood motionless. Under
other conditions they would havo leaped
upon the first of tho fighters to bo thrown
upon his back and torn him to pieces.
That was the way of the wolf and tho
wolf dog. But now they stood back, hesi
tating and fearful.
Tho big husky had never been beaten In
battle. Great Dane ancestors had given
htm a huge bulk and a Jaw that could
crush an ordinary dog's head. But In
Kazan he was meeting not only tho dog
and tho wolf, but all that was best in
the two. And Kazan had the advantage
of a fow hours of rest and a full stomach.
More than that, ho was fighting for Gray
Wolf. His fangs hnd sunk deep In the
husky's shoulder, and the hustty's Ions;
teeth met through tha hide and flesh of
his neck. An Inch deeper, and they would
havo pierced his Jugular. Kazan knew
this, as ho crunched his enemy's shoulder
bone, and every Instant oven In their
fiercest struggling he was guarding
against n second and more successful
lunge of those powerful Jaws.
At last tho lunge came, and quicker
than the wolf Itself Kazan freed himself
and leaped back. His chest dripped blood,
but he did not feel the hurt They began
slowly ito circle, and now tha watching
sledge-dogs drew a step or two nearer,
and their Jaws drooled nervously and
their red eyes glared as they waited for
tho fatal moment. Their eyes wero on
tho big husky. He became the pivot of
Kazan's wider circle, now, and ho limped
as he turned. His shoulder was broken.
His cars were flattened as ho watched
Kazan.
Koran's ears were erect, and his feet
touched tho snow lightly. All his fighting
cleverness and alt his caution had re
turned to him. The blind rage ot a few
moments was gone and ho fought now as
ho had fought his deadliest enemy, the
long-clawed lynx. Five times ho circled
around the husky, nnd then, like a shot
ho was In, sending his wlulo weight
against tho husky's shoulder, with tho
momentum of a 10-foot leap behind It
This time ho did not try for a hold, but
slashed at tho husky's Jaws. It was the
deadliest of all attacks when that merci
less tribunal ot death stood waiting for
tho first fall of the vanquished. For a
fatal moment ho rolled upon his side and
In tho moment his four slcdgo- latcs wero
upon him. Alt of their hatred of the
weeks and months In which the long
fanged leader had bullied them In tho
traces was concentrated upon him now,
and he wns literally torn Into pieces.
Kazan pranced to Gray Wolf's sido and,
with a Joyful whine, sho laid hor head
over his neck.
Twice he had fought the Fight of -Death
for her. Twice he had won. And In her
blindness Gray Wolfs soul If soul she
had rose In exultation to the cold gray
sky, and her breast panted against Ka
zan's shoulder as she listened to the
crunching of fangs in tho flesh and bona
ot tho foe her lord and master had over
thrown. (CONTINUED TOMOnriOW.)

The Rich Quartet
Tho Rich Quartet nan excellent In Its
second recital at Wlthcrspoon Hall last
night. Tho organization, composed of
Thaddeus nich, II. Van den Beemt, Al
fred Lorenz and Hans Klndler, all mem
bers of the Philadelphia Orchestra, has
acquired a splendid degree of ensemble
playing which compares favorably with
the moro renowned visiting quartets.
Mauri co Leefson, pianist, and Mr. Klndler,
'cellist, were the soloists.
Tho players Introduced a movement
from Ollere's quartet op. 2, which showed
the composer to be ono of the tittle
known Russian geniuses of the past gen
eration. Tho theme and variations, with
Its typically Slavic sons as a motif, and
Its thoroughly mustclanty development,
throbbed ulth dramatic Intensity, and
possessed all the originality of invention
characteristic ot the best composers of
htn day. Gllere was an amateur In rank,
but, judging from last night's number,
not In ability. He was a wealthy youth
who associated himself, for tho love of It,
with Moussorgsky, Borodin, Rlmsky-Kor-sakoff,
Cesar Cut and Olazounow. Little
!a known of his other works If thero are
any of worth.
Haydn's D Major Quartet, No. 35,
opened the program. It Is much mere In
teresting to a twentieth century audience
than most of tho old master's works,
showing more freedom and spontaneity
than Is usually found. Mr. IClndler played
three splendid solos, two by Comtlle
Zeckwar, one of Philadelphia's best
pianists and composers.
Tho Anal number was Binding's Quintet
Op. & Thoso who know Binding only
through his parlor piece, "Fruehlln
gsrauschen," were very much surprised
to Hnd so much real music In tho Quin
tet. The opening Joyous, victorious alle
gro, and the beautiful andante are among
the best In chamber music. Mr. Leefson
was the fifth member In tho quintet. Ills
playing was at alt times clear and sym
pathetic, although occasionally ho played
with so much power that he became a
soloist and was no longer a member of a
quintet.

Havo pity. Lord, I am afraid I
I am but just a woman, made
For love and love's sweet simple
things
To hush my babe upon my breast.
To lie with htm at quiet rest
Until the dawn awakening brlngsl
But hush thee, now, my child, and sleep,
For Ood and angels watch will keep,
Thou art His Son, as Thou art mine.
Sleep softly now among the klne.
My little Son my Bon and Tthlne)

BUDGET CONTEST BRINGS
FORTH DOMESTIC EXPERTS
Letters Show That Philadelphia Housewivei
Know How to Make Ends
More Than Meet
WIIA.T do you think of a woman who,
although tho family Income U only $15
a wook, manages to provide not only good
food and comfortablo quarters for hei
husband and children, but h: a a dollar
left for them to amuse themselves at the
"mov!es"7
This was only ono of the surprises In
tho first contributions (to the household
budget contest that was launched on
Monday. Judging from tho merit of tho
first letters, awarding tho prlzos Is go
ing to be a dlftlcult matter, evidently
there aro a number ot expert economists
among Philadelphia's housewives.
In the sample budgets published on
Monday, which wero tabulated by ex
perts, there were no Items for Insuranco
or Bavlngs. It was held that to feed,
clothe, house, omuso and keep warm a
family of five on ?20 a week was all that
was humanly possible.
But our contributors know better. Be
low aro published three budgets. In every
one provision has been mado lor tne
rainy day. Mrs. B., for Instance, not only
puts a. dollar by for a Christmas fund,
but remembers tho building association
and the Insurance man.
Tho contest Is open to all. For tho
most practical, the most economical bud
get, a prize of X will bo given. The sec
ond prize will be 3. and two additional
prizes of U each will be given. Letters
should be written on one side of the
paper only.
The following are some of the budgets
already submitted:
Dear Editor I herewith submit my
problem of Income and homemaklng. My
family consists of nx persons. I am In
fair health and do my work. I bako
home-made bread, which, besides the save
over the baker's. Is more nourishing
when properly baked. I do home serv
ing, preserving and canning In season.
In winter I use plenty of beans, peas,
cornmeal and oatmeal, with their many
ways of serving. I buy cheaper cuts of
meat, but cook longer. By all means
buy a casserole; It soon pays for Itself.
Buy dry groceries In bulk when prac
ticable and you have room. Don't buy
cheap clothes. A woman with moderate
means can always be well dressed by
using foresight and Judgment. Use quiet
colors. Buy between seasons; take
proper care ot your clothes, also of your
umbrella. Don't leave It closed when
wet Don't waste heat or light.
