the instincts (which were but the memories of his ancestors bee habits) which had lapsed in later days, and still later, in him, quickened and became alive again. Sometimes as he crouched there, blinking dream ily at the flames, it seemed that the flames were of another fire, and that as he crouched by this other fire he saw another and different man from the halfbreed cook before him. This other man was shorter of leg and longer of arm, with muscles that were str ingy and knotty rather than rounded and swelling. The hair of this man was long and matted, and his head slanted bac k under it from the eyes. He uttered strange sounds, and seemed very much afraid of the dar kness, into which he pe ered continually, clutching in his hand, which hung midway between knee and foot, a stic k with a heavy stone made fast to the end. He was all but na ked, a ragged and fire scorched skin hanging part way down his bac k, but on his body there was much hair. In some places, across the chest and shoulders and down the outside of the arms and thighs, it was matted into almost a thic k fur. He did not stand erec t, but with trunk inclined forward from the hips, on legs that bent at the knees. About his body there was a peculiar springiness, or resiliency, almost catlike, and a quick alertness as of one who lived in perpetual fear of things seen and unseen. At other times this hairy man squatted by the fire with head between his legs and slept. On such occasions his elbows were on his knees, his hands clasped above his head as though to shed rain by the hairy arms. And beyond that fire, in the circling darkness, Buc k could see many gleaming coals, two by two, always two by two, whic h he knew to be the eyes of great beasts of prey. And he could hear the crashing of their bodies through the undergrowth, and the noises they made in the night. A nd dreaming there by the Yukon bank, with la zy eyes blinking at the fire, these sounds and sights of another world would make the hair to rise along his back and stand on end across his shoulders and up his nec k, till he whimpered low and suppressedly, or grow led softly, and the halfbreed cook shouted at him, Hey, you Buck, wake up! Whereupon the other world would vanish and the real world e into his eyes, and he would get up and yawn and stretch as though he had been asleep. It was a hard trip, with the mail behind them, and the heavy work w ore them down. They were short of weight and in poor condition when they made Dawson, an。s big house in the sun kissed Santa Clara Valley, and of the cement swimming tank, and Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, and Toots, the Japanese pug。s life for good. A Scotch halfbreed took charge of him and his mates, and in pany with a dozen other dogteams he started back over the weary trail to Dawson. It was no light running now, nor record time, but heavy toil each day, with a heavy load behind。 and the celerity with which Buck broke them in took away Francois39。s heels, and w ho never put an ounce more of his weight against the breastband than he was pelled to do, was swiftly and repeatedly shaken for loafing。s traces and put him back in his old place. The team stood harnessed to the sled in an unbroken line, ready for the trail. T here was no place for Buc k save at the front. Once more Francois called, and once more Buck laughed and kept away. Throw down de club, Perrault manded. Francois plied, w hereupon Buck trotted in, laughing tr iumphantly, and swung around into position at the head of the team. His traces were fastened, the sled broken out, and w ith both men running they dashed out on to the river trail. Highly as the dogdriver had forevalued Buc k, w ith his two devils, he found, while the day was yet young, that he had undervalued. At a bound Buc k took up the duties of leadership。 and while he circled he watched the club so as to dodge it if thrown by Francois, for he was bee wise in the way of clubs. The driver went about his work, and he called to Buc k when he was ready to put him in his old place in front of Dave. Buck retreated two or three steps. Francois followed him up, w hereupon he again retreated. After some time of this, Francois threw down the club, thinking that Buc k feared a thrashing. But Buc k was in open revolt. He wanted, not to escape a clubbing, but to have the leadership. It was his by right. He had earned it, and he would not be content with less. Perrault took a hand. Between them they ran him about for the better part of an hour. They threw clubs at him. He dodged. They cursed him, and his fathers and mothers before him, and all his seed to e after him down to the remotest generation, and every hair on his body and drop of blood in his veins。way, Hook! he cried, but Buck refused to budge. He took Buc k by the scruff of the neck, and though the dog growled threateningly, dragged him to one side and replaced Solle ks. T he old dog did not like it, and showed plainly that he was afraid of Buc k. Francois was obdurate, but when he turned his back, Buck again displaced Solleks, who was not at all unwilling to go. Francois was angry. Now, by Gar, I fix you! he cried, ing back with a heavy club in his hand. Buc k remembered the man in the red sweater, and retreated slow ly。s answer. And now we make good time. No more Spitz, no more trouble, sure. While Perrault packed the camp outfit and loaded the sled, the dogdriver proceeded to harness the dogs. Buck trotted up to the place Spitz would have occupied as leader。s speech next morning when he discovered Spitz missing and Buck covered with wounds. He drew him to the fir e and by its light pointed them out. Dat Spitz fight like hell, said Perrault, as he surveyed the gaping rips and cuts.
