eir white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean
wards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A

adness--a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the
sphinx a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the

incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of
life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-
hearted Northland Wild.
But there was life, abroad in the land and defiant Down
the frozen waterway toiled a string of wolfish dogs. Their
bristly fur was rimed with frost. Their breath froze in the air
as it left their mouths, spouting forth in spumes of vapor that
settied upon the hair of their bodies and formed into crystals
offrost Leather harness was on the dogs, and leather traces
