T1IF deep snow In the moose ya-
was trodden down to the moss,
and darkly soiled with many days of
Occupancy. The young spruce and
fcirch trees which dotted the trodden
pace were cropped of hII but their
toughest and coarsest branches, and
the wall of loftier growth which
fenced the yawl was stripped of its
tenderer twigs to Out utmost height
of the tall hull's neck. The available
provender was all but gone, and the
herd was in that restlessness which
precede! a move to new pastures.
The herd of moose was a small one
three gaunt, rusty-brown, slouch
ing cows, two ungainly calves of a
lighter hue, and one huge, high
shouldored bull, whose sweep of
pnlmated nntlers bristled like a for
est. Compared with the towering
bulk of his forerjuarters, the massive
depth of his rougkmuned neck, the
weight of the formidable antlers, the
length and thickness of his clumsy.
i hooked muzzle with its prehensile up
per lip his lean and frayed hindquar
ters looked grotesquely diminutive.
Surprised by three days of blinding
snowfall, the great bull moose had
been forced to establish the yard for
his herd in an unfavorable neighbor
hood; and now ho found himself con
fronted by the necessity of a long
march through snow of Mich softness
and depth as would make swift move
ment impossible and fetter him in the
face of his enemies. In deep snow
I the moose can neither lice nor tight,
j at both of which he Is adept under
! fuir conditions; and deep snow, as he
knew, is the opportunity of flic wolf
and the hunter. But in this case the
herd had no choice. It wus simply
take the risk or starve.
That same night, when the moon
was risiug round and white behind
the hrteptt, the tall ball breasted and
trod down the snowy barrier, and led
his herd off northward between the
hemlock trunks and the jutting gran
ite bowlders. He moved slowly, his Im
mense mutzle stretched strairrht out be
fore him, the bouy array of his antlers
laid back level to avoid the hindrance
of sdinging boughs. Here and there
a hollow under the IctcI surface
would set him plunging aud wallow
ing for a moment, but in the main
his giant strength enabled him to
forge his way ahead with a steady
majesty of might. Behind him, in
dutiful line, came the three cows;
and behind these, again, the calves
followed at ease in a clear trail, their
muzzles not outstretched like that of
the leader, but drooping almost to
the snow, their high shoulders work
ing awkwardly at every stride. In
utter silence, like dark, monstrous
specters, the line of strange shapes
moved on; and down the bewildering,
ever-rearranging forest corridors the
ominous fingers of long moonlight
felt curiously after them. When
they had journeyed far some hours
the herd oame out upon a high and
somewhat bare plateau, dotted sparse
ly with clumps of aspen, stunted yel
low birch and spruce. From this
tableland the streaming northwest
winds had swept the snow almost
clean, carrying it off to fill the neigh
boring vnlley. The big bull, who
knew where he was going and had
no will to linger on the way, halted
only for a few minutes' browsing,
and then smarted forwnrd on a long,
swinging trot. At every stride his
loose-hung, wide-cleft, spreading
hooves came sharply together with u
Hat, clacking noise. The rest of the
line swept dutifully into place, and
ttte; herd wns off.
But not all the herd. One of the
calves, tempted a little aside by a
thicket of special juciness and savor,
took alarm, and thought he was go
ing to be left behind. Be sprang
forward, a powerful but clumsy
stride, careless of his footing. A
treacherous screen of enow-crusted
scrub gave way, and he slid sprawling
to the bottom of a littie narrow gul
ly or crevice, a natural pitfall. His
mother, looking solicitously back
ward, saw him disappear. With a
heave of her shoulders, a sweep of
her long, hornless hend, nn anxious
flick of her little naked tail, she
swung out of the line and trotted
swiftly to the rescue.
There was nothing she could do.
The crevice was some ten or twelve
feet long and five or six in width,
with sides almost perpendicular. The
uaJf could just reach its bushy edges
with his up-stretched muzzle, but he
could get no foothold by which to
clamber out. On every side he es
sayed it, falling back with a hoarse
bleat from each frightened effort;
while the mother, with head down
and piteous eyes staring upon him.
ran round and round the rim of the
trap. At last, when he stopped and
stood with palpitating sides antl wide
nostrils of terror, she, too. halted.
Dropping awkwardly upon her knees
in the snowy bushes, with loud, blow
ing breaths, she reached down her
head to nose and comfort him with
bcr sensitive muzzle. The calf leaned
up as close as possible to her caresses.
Under their tend rness the tremblings
of his gaunt, pathetic knees presently
ceased. And in this position the two
remained almost motionless for nn
hour, under the white, unfriendly
moon. The herd had gone on without
them.
In the wolf's cave in the great blue
and white wall of plnster rock, miles
back beside the rushing of the river,
there was famine. The Bhe wolf,
heavy and nenr her time, lay agoniz
ing in the darkest corner of the cave,
ricking in grim silence the raw stump
of her right foreleg. Caught in u
tteel trap, she had gnawed off her
rva paw. aa the price of freedom.
She could not hunt; and the hunting
was bad that winter in the forests by
the blue and white wall. The wapiti
deer had migrated to safer ranges,
and her gray mate, hunting alone,
was hard put to it to keep starvation
, from the cave.
The gray wolf trotted briskly down
the broken face of the plaster rock,
in the full glare of the moon, and
stood for a moment to sniff the air
that came blowing lightly, but keen
ly, over the stiff tops of the forest.
I The wind was clean. It gave him no
i tidings of a quarry. Descending hur-
riedly the last 50 yards of the slope,
he plunged into the darkness of the
firwoods. Soft as was the snow in
those quiet recesses, it was yet suffi
cientjy packed to support him as he
trotted, noiseless and alert, on the
broad -spread i ng pads of his paws.
Furtive and fierce, he slipped through
the shadow like a ghost. Across the
open glades he fleeted more swiftly,
a bright and sinister shape, his head
swinging a little from side to side,
every sense Upon the watch. His di
rection w'as pretty stcadilv to the
west of north.
He had traveled long, till the direc
tion of the moon shadows hail taken
n different angle to his path, when
suddenly there came a scent upon the
wind. He stopped, one foot up, nr
rested In his stride. The gray, cloudy
brush of his tail stiffened out. His
nostrils, held high to catch every waft
of the new scent, dilated; and the
edges of his upper lip came down over
the white fangs, from which they had
been snarlingly withdrawn. His pause
was but for a breath or two. Yes.
there was no mistaking it. The scent
was moose very far off, but moose,
without question. He darted forward
at a gallop, but with his muzzle still
held high, following t lint scent up the
1'rescntly he struck the trail of the
hwrd. An instant's scrutiny told his
trained sense that there were calves
and young cows, one or another ot
which he might hope to stampede by
his cunning. The same instant's
"Scrutiny revealed to him that the
herd had passed nearly an hour ahead
of him. Up went the gray cloud of
his tail and down went his nose; and
then he straightened himself to his
top speed, compared to which the
pace wherewith he had followed the
scent up the wind was a mere casual
sauntering.
When he emerged upon the open
plateau and reached the spot where
the herd had scuttered to browse, he
Blackened his pace and went warily,
peering from side to side. The cow
moose, lying down in the bushes to
fondle her imprisoned young, wss hid
den from his sight for the moment;
and so it chanced that before he dis
covered her he came between her and
the wind. That scent it waa the
taint of death ta her. It Went
through her frame like an electric
shock. With a snort of fear and fury
she heaved to her feet and stood,
wide-eyed and with lowered brow,
facing the menace.
The wolf heard that snorting chal
lenge, and saw the awkward bulk of
her shoulders as she rose above the
scrub. Bis jaws wrinkled back tight
ly, baring the full length of his keen
white fangs, and a greenish phosphor
escent film seemed to pass suddenly
across his narrow eyeballs. But he
did not spring at once to the attack.
He was surprised. Moreover, he in
ferred the calf, from the presence of
the cow apart from the rest of the
herd. And a full-grown cow moose,
with the mother fury in her heart,
he knew to be a dangerous adversary.
Though she was hornless, he knew the
force of her battering front, the swift,
sharp stroke of her hoof, the dauntless
intrepidity of her courage. Further,
thoagh his own courage and the avid
urge of his hunger might have led him
under other circumstances to attack
forthwith, to-night he knew that he
must take no chances. The cave in
the blue and white rocks was depend
ing on his success. His mate, wound
ed and heavy with young if he let
himself get disabled in this hunting
she must perish miserably. With
prudent tactics, therefore, he circled
at a safe distance around the hidden
pit; and around its rim circled the
wary mother, presenting to him
ceaselessly the defiance of her huge
and sullen front. By this means he
easily concluded that the calf wus a
prisoner in the pit. This being the
case he knew that with patience and
his experienced craft the game was
safely his. He drew off some half
dozen paces, and sat upon his
haunches contemplatively to weigh
the situation. Everything had turned
out most fortunately for his hunting
and food would no longer be scarce
in the cavo of the painted rocks.
That same night, in a cabin of un
utterable loneliness some miles to
the west of the trail from the moose
yard n sallow-faced, lean backwoods
man was awakened by the moonlight
streaming into his face through the
small square window. He glanced at
the embers on the open hearth, and
knew that for the white maple logs tb
have so burned down he must have
been sleeping n good six hours. And
he had turned in soon after the early
winter sunset. Rising on his elbow,
he threw down the gaudy patchwork
quilt of red, yellow, blue and mottled
squares which draped the bunk in its
corner against the rough log walls.
Ho looked long at the thin face of
his wife, whose pale brown hair lay
over the bare arm crooked beneath
her cheek. Her lips looked patheti
cally white in the decolorizing rays
which streamed through the window.
His mouth, stubbled with a week's
growth of dark beard, twitched curi
ously as he looked. Then he got up,
very noiselessly. Stepping across the
bnre hard room, whose austerity the
moon made more austere, he gazed
into a trundle-bed where n yellow
haired, round-faced boy slept, with
the chubby, sprawling legs and arms
of perfect security. The lad's flee
looked pale to his troubled eyes.
"It's fresh meat they want, the both
of 'em," he muttered to himself.
"They can't live and thrive on pork
an' molasses, nohow!"
nis big fingers, clumsily gentle,
played for a moment with the child's
yellow curls. Then he pulled a thick,
gray homespun hunting shirt over his
head, hitched his heavy trousers up
under his belt, clothed his feet in
three pairs of home-knit socks and
heavy cowhide moccasins, took down
his rifle, cartridge pouch, and snow
shoes from the nails on the moss
chinked wall, cast one tendeer look on
the sleepers' faces, and slipped out of
the cabin door as silent as a shadow.
"I'll have fresh meat for them be
fore next sundown," he vowed to
himself.
Outside, amid the chips of his chop
ping, with a rough well-sweep on one
hand and a rougher barn on the
other, he knelt to put on his snow
shoes. 'J'hi1 cabin stood, a desolate,
silver-gray dot in the waste of snow,
naked to the Steely skies of winter.
I With the curious improvidence of the
backwoodsman, he had cut down
very tree in the neighborhood of the
cabin, and the thick woods which
might so well have sheltered him,
stood acres distant on every side.
When the woodsman had settled the
thongs of his snOWShoes over his moc
casins quite to his satisfaction, he
straightened himself with a deep
breath, pulled his cap well down over
his ears, slung his rifle over his shoul
der, and started out with the white
moon In his face.
His long strides carried him swift
ly through the glimmering glades.
Journeying to the north of east, as
1 lie gray wolf had to the north of
west, he, too, before long, struck the
trail of the moose, but nt a point
far beyond that at which the wolf
had come upon it. So trampled and
confused a trail it was, however, that
for u time he took no note of the
light wolf truck nmong the heavy
footprints of the moose. Suddenly it
caught his eye one print on n
smooth spread of snow, emphasized
in n pour of unobstructed radiance.
He stopped, scrutinized the trail min
utely to assure himself he had but a
single wolf to deal with, then re
sumed his march with new zest and
springier pace. Hunting was not
without its relish for him when it ad
mitted some savour of the combat.
The cabin stood tn the valley lands
just back of the high plateau, and so
it chanced that the backwoodsman
had not far to travel that night.
Where the trail broke into the open
he stopped, and reconnoitered cau
tiously through a screen of hemlock
boughs. He saw the big gray wolf
sitting straight up on his haunches,
his tongue hanging out, contemplat
ing securely his intended prey. He
saw the dark shape of the cow moose,
obstinately confronting her foe, her
hindquarters backed close up to the
edge of the gully. He caught the
fierce and anxious gleam of her eyes
as she rolled them backward for an
instant's reassuring glance at her
young one. And though he could not
see the calf in its prisoning pit, he
understood the whole situation.
Well, there was a bounty on wolf
snouts, and this fellow's pelt was
worth considering. As for the moose,
he knew that not a broadside of can
non would scare her away from that
hole in the rocks so long ns the calf
was in it. He took careful aim from
his covert. At the report the wolf
shot into the air, straightened out,
and fell upon the suow, kicking
dumbly, i bullet through his neck.
As the light failed from his fierce
eyes, with it faded out a vision of
the cave in the painted rocks, tn
half a minute he lay still; and the
cow moose, startled by his convulsive
leaps more than by the rifle shot,
blew nntl snorted, eyeing him with
new suspicion. Her spacious flunk
was toward the hunter. He, with
cool but hasty fingers, slipped a fresh
cartridge into the breech, tind aimed
with care at a spot low down behind
the fore-shoulder.
Again rung out the thin, vicious
report, slapping the great silences in
the face. The woodsman's aim was
true. With a cough the moose fell
forward on her knees. Then, with a
mighty, shuddering effort, she got
up, turned about, and fell again with
her head over the edge of the crevice.
Her awkward muzzle touched and
twitched against the neck of the
frightened calf and with n heavy sigh
she lay still.
The settler stepped out from his
hiding place, nnd examined with deep
satisfaction the results of his night's
hunting. Already he saw the color
coming back into the pale cheeks of
the woman nnd the child. The wolf'a
pelt nnd snout, too, he thought to
himself, would get them both some
little things they'd like, from the
cross-roads store, next time he went
in for cornmeal. Then, there was
the calf no meat like moose veal,
after nil. He drew his knife from
its sheath. But no; he hnted butch
ering. He slipped the knife back, re
loaded his rifle, stepped to the side
of the pit, nnd stood looking down
nt the baby captive, where it leaned
nosing in piteous bewilderment at
the head of its dead mother.
Again the woodsman changed his
mind. He bit off a chew of black to
bacco, nnd for some moments stood
deliberating, stubby chin in hand.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Continuing the story of Genesis, read
chapters W, 1 and . The story of
ehief interest and conveying the most
Important teaching Is that which cen
ters in the lesson text proper.
Birth of Isaac. Isaac means "laugh
ter," and the name was given because
Sarah had mocked inwardly st the
promise (19:12, 13) and because her
delight in the birth of her son was so
great.
Hagar and Ishmael. Ishmael's con
duct at the time of tiie feast wasprob
ably not only irreverent, but made
Barah fear that his influence over
Isaac would be bad. Abraham did
what he could to males the sending
away less harsh than it otherwise
would hifve been. Ishmael waa not
the child of promias hut was born
"after the esh." (Gal. 4:23.) How

Abraham's sin st Gerar wss even
worse than that he had oommitted Id
The Offering of Isaac. There is an
instiactive feeling among men that
they ought to offer the bes-t they have
to their gods; and they have nothing
more precious than their children.
The proving, rather than the tempt
ing, of Abraham wa based upon this
feeling, which no doubt the patriarch
shared. Its purpose was to develop
the character of both Abraham and
Isaac, not merely though chiefly in the
matter of confiding obedience to God,
but also in correcting his understand
ing of the nature of God nnd His re
quirements. Abraham sacrificed Isaac
in what he did as truly as though he
had actually put him to death. From
Beersheba to Mount Moriah, whers
afterwards Solomon's temple was.
built, was about 00 miles. The subjec
tion ef the son to the father in the
patrisrchal household was so com
plete thnt Issso would not think of
contending with his father even for
his life. The words of verse 12 do not
of course hint that God did not know
Abraham's heart without putting him
to the outward test. But an outward
test often strengthens the Inner pur
pose. Abraham had given up kindred,
home, ense, that he might do God's
will; but It did not follow from that
thnt he would give up even the child
on whose life the fulfillment of God's
promise depended. It seems prepos
terous to think that God intended the
sacrifice, or that He should have
judged Abraham's faith insufficient
unless he was willing to kill his boy.
Abraham may have Interpreted God't
voice to him in the light of the prac
tice of his day. The command not to
slay the lad was the most significant
thing in the whole transaction. The
provision of a wild ram for the offer
ing was an indication that God de
sired n beast nnd not a boy for such
sacrifice. Abraham's words, "Hod will
provide Himself a lamb," were
prophetic nnd found their perfect
fulfillment in Christ. God's covenant
was given new sacredness by being
