It was scarcely dark under the trees when he heard the breed-wolf and two coyotes howl together, thirty miles back in the heart of the hills! "There now!" he exclaimed. "I've been telling 'em right along that the coyotes would take to the hills some day. Those breed-wolves they'll teach 'em to live in the hills." When Breed had eaten his fill from the deer he headed back for the low country.
The wolf whose howl had occasioned this assertion was even then considering the possibilities of which Collins spoke. Men called those of his kind breed-wolves, half coyote and half wolf. He stood on the high divide which was the roughly separating line between the haunts of the two tribes whose blood flowed in his veins, all wolf except for the yellow fur that marked him for a breed.
His prediction that coyotes would take to the hills and feel as much at home high above timberline as in the flats had come to pass. Collins studied long over the many coyote trails which always paralleled the tracks of the yellow wolf and made still another prophecy, that breed-wolves would teach the coyotes to hunt in packs.
