While pleasure in her new surroundings held sway over her, it was a real pleasure to see her face. But this creature, so richly gifted by the grace of God, was not suited for his modest young friend; this had become especially evident to him when an almost evil expression escaped her lips while she emptied the vial of her wrath upon Wolf's murderer.

The rustler gang were firing from the cover of the saloon, and were well protected. "Hunt up all the guns heah," the Kid cried, "and load 'em. If they rush us, we'll need to shoot fast!" Several rifles were hunted up Winchesters and two muzzle-loading Sharps .50s. There were also a powder-and-ball buffalo gun of the old pattern, and, to Kid Wolf's delight, a sawed-off, double-barreled shotgun.

But to-day he caught the edge of it, and he knew why Gray Wolf's ears flattened, and her hindquarters drooped. The scent of game would have made her rigid and alert. But it was not the game smell. It was human, and Gray Wolf slunk behind Kazan and whined. For several minutes they stood without moving or making a sound, and then Kazan led the way on.

You can call personally for your daughter at Szczytno, whither the brethren will bring her to you." "I? at Szczytno?" "Because, should the bandits capture her again on the way, your and your people's suspicion would again fall upon the pious knights, and therefore they prefer to give her into your own hands." "And who will pledge himself for my return, if I walk alone into a wolf's throat?"

Now he glanced up to see whether young Herr Crafft, to whom the building now belonged, had not also added an ornament to it.

Mowgli, his head on Mother Wolf's side, smiled contentedly, and said that, for his own part, he never wished to see, or hear, or smell Man again. "But what," said Akela, cocking one ear "but what if men do not leave thee alone, Little Brother?" "We be FIVE," said Gray Brother, looking round at the company, and snapping his jaws on the last word.

And Kazan, too, was curious. He sniffed. In the gloom his ears were alert. After a little Baree began to move. An inch at a time he dragged himself away from Gray Wolf's side. Every muscle in her lithe body tensed. Again her wolf blood was warning her. There was danger for Baree. Her lips drew back, baring her fangs. Her throat trembled, but the note in it never came.

He determined to devote himself to a study of the great wolf's personality and characteristics, and to foil, as far as this could be done without making himself unpopular, such plots as might be laid for the beast's undoing.

I set myself, then, to examine everything around me with great attention. "Below the guns, I had remarked on entering, some wolftraps were suspended, and to one of them still hung the mangled remains of a wolf's paw, which they had not yet taken off from the iron teeth.

The truculent blackguard, who was about six feet three high and had a mouth like a wolf's throat, arrived in front of me and, bending down, roared out "We are going to kill you, White Man." I had a pistol in my pocket and could perfectly well have killed him, as I was much tempted to do.
